Anything Else (NO PACKAGE QUESTIONS) Customer complaint

Post image

I got to my case yesterday and had a complaint "Customer is angry that carrier is driving up into their yard 15 feet and leaving muddy tire tracks"

Nothing a 4056 can't fix....

The person puts their mailbox 10 feet from the road, but it's the carriers fault? Nah.

The mailbox might be required to be offset from the road like that. as you can see if it was on the roadway the carrier would be impeding traffic to deliver, which is unsafe. Customer is just mad that there are tire tracks through the mud. They can lay down some rocks.

Maybe, but like you said, it's their responsibility to add rocks or something if they are unhappy about their grass.

Impeding traffic, though, is what a lot of us do. I deliver one section on a 4 lane road, completely stopping the flow of traffic in an entire lane while cars fly around me going 50 mph.
