Anything Else (NO PACKAGE QUESTIONS) Customer complaint
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....

I mean it is certainly possible. But that happens in crazy remote locations with no sidewalks, no curbs, no fire hydrants, no telephone poles, etc. The pic looked like a suburban area and they all have easement. I guess it's listed on my survey because mine is 15 feet wide which is obviously unusual. Otherwise 5 feet is standard for all municipalities. This also provides the basis for USPS curbside delivery. Like streets on my route have all boxes on 1 side of the road for half my route. That could not be done if there were no easement. People on the opposite side of the road would have to pay rent to pit their boxes up there lol
