[IVE GOTTA PACKAGE 4U]

They been changing,some of the house numbers on my route. I knew all the screwed up ones,now im confused.

Now there is a great idea, stick the numbers on, buy a gross of them, Merry Christmas from your awesome UPS driver, you now have a house number. You could save lives!! I often ask people what would happen in an emergency situation, if your house is not marked. They usually say nothing.

Thank you, I have wondered the same thing and ask why too. Same answer silence .

I have done that a few times, but actually it is a federal offense to open their mailbox.

It is not a federal offense to open/look. It is to take....

This is the perfect light, push pull focus you can use with one hand. Makes it easy to look for house numbers while driving.

I just looked, I dont want to spend alot, I dont use it that often. Do you find the 220 lumens enough to light up a front porch? I have an old light I have used for years, but I need a little more.

Friday i got sent out on in the blind on a new route im going to be covering from now on. I have late pickups, and got stuck doing resi's in the dark, with no mailboxes or curbs with numbers on them.. I didnt get back to building until 945pm. So today i bought a spotlight at homerdepot hoping i can shed some light on there addresses easier.. Anyone ever use a spotlight during the dark for deliverys?

Now they will hang a Christmas wreath over the number. That's when you need a laser beam from Home Depot to burn it off! Lol

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

im still new and i try and remember the houses with no numbers address for later reference but it sucks when you have two next to each other with no number... i hit no listing stop complete rts baby

Your PM clerk will not RTS packages with a good address.

You better lock me up as I do it all the time.

Yes/no ...idk?

 

[Packmule]

What we really need is a Federal law prohibiting any mail or package carrier from delivering to any address that does not have a house number posted that meets local 911 ordinances.
Problem solved.

As I said I have done it, but it makes me uncomfortable. I really dont want some big hairy guy (or woman) who doesnt have enough sense to number their house, to see me rummaging in their box.
