Should States/Counties/Cities charge license fee for delivery in neighborhoods?

[Sixth Punch Sense]

I've noticed that recently when I'm blocking a driveway the resident is just getting home and I naturally speed up so they can access their driveway.

But more and more of the "residents" are just gig drivers. Flex/Insta/Ubereats......etc. I recently saw two different flex drivers pass me on the same residential street. This does not even go into the fact that my area has three different Amazon DSP's delivering to the same damn houses.

So are there to many delivery folk in your neighborhoods?



Of course this is bit self serving, but we know UPS we would lose out on multiple licenses

Actually, I have witnessed many UPS no-no’s committed by gig drivers.
Driveways, unneeded backing, crossing street in front of cars not looking L, R, L almost getting hit.
I have handed a few a Smith System list.
(Keeping it ‘generic’ incase the Amazon gods ask.)
And they have been gracious.

Wouldn’t licenses be an other form of regulation, unsubstantiated taxation and protectionism.
(Showing off with words.)

I don't know about a license fee, but they should have to apply by the same rules as we do.

You mean you don’t get to park on the wrong side of the street when you deliver?

It bothers me when I see Amazon vans registered to Oregon operating in New England on a regular basis. They should be registered and paying taxes to the state in which the work is being done or where the vehicle is being housed over night.

You don’t think UPS does this?

Isn’t like every UPS trailer registered in Indiana?

Or FedEx. Dude was on the road side of the road out in the country blocking the driveway I was wanting to deliver to. When he pulled away I gave him the open arm what are you doing guesture. He just floored it out of there.

I did see a FedEx driver park facing the wrong way a couple of days ago but they are usually better than Amazon.
