[QUOTE="JJinVA, post: 4561080, member: 80301"] Im not gonna go through the whole thread and read because its probably been said already but, at UPS, we have what are called "Back-First Exceptions". That is, when we start the truck, we have to travel at least 500 yards before we can put it in reverse again or we will get a back-first exception. I know when Im on a route, and I need to go back the other direction, I look for driveways like yours to turn around in first, so I can go back the other direction and go straight once I start my truck back up after the delivery. The truck in your photo looks like one of our thousand series trucks which is already difficult enough to maneuver, its not exactly a Honda Civic... so yes, I speak for myself when I say, I look for driveways like yours where its wide and the vehicles are far away because that might be the safest place to turn around if there isnt a cul-de-sac at the end of the street. But of course you can always request a driver not to use your driveway. Its YOUR driveway. But dont be surprised when he starts leaving all of YOUR packages at the mailbox for making his day more inconvenient. (I dont know if he would really do that. I would, but Im kind of an :censored:). If he's doing damage then its totally justified that you ask him not to. He will be charged with an accident if you report it to his center. [/QUOTE]
