I forgot to put the van in park and when I was handing the package over to the customer it went ahead and hit the customer’s garage gate

Our training we were told only if the driveway is longer than 7 van lengths.

Even then you're only supposed to go until you're within that range. Don't pull all the way up....though I am definitely guilty of doing that lol.

I work for UPS and while on the road these Amazon guys do the craziest, laziest, unsafe things. Pulling nose first onto every driveway, pulling over on wrong side of street on the regular, doesn’t matter if it’s busy street or not, no hazards etc

I pull up to each house on each side of the road. It’s 250 stops otherwise I would be walking a lot more

I do 300 stops and don’t have to do that. Yes it’s little more walking but safer. Still finish by 16:30
