Ups truck broke down in my driveway.

[Chris142]

Guy pulled up to deliver a package. Went to leave and had only neutrals. They sent a huge Peterbilt rotater to get him,

Driver was afraid of my road! He asked if I could get the ups truck to a better spot. The idi diesel pulled it with ease in 4 low.

In the one pic you can see just how steep my driveway is. That's as far as he would come up.

You should've charged UPS $45,000 for the tow. That would cover your 1-800 Radiator franchise fee...

He couldn't've picked a better place to break down.

Just you're luck ........Had a UPS truck come down my driveway in the winter. Maybe 1.5" of snow on the asphalt. About 20 degree grade going down to house, then leveled off so he could turn around. Dropped my stuff off, turned around. Could not make it up the driveway. He slid into the 1' strip of gravel between grass and asphalt, then into the grass, tore up my grass and 3 sprinkler heads. You'd think he'd stop tryin ??? UPS got a huge wrecker and winched him up the driveway. 6 hr ordeal. Had to wait till spring to get everything repaired by UPS sub contractor. Now, I install traffic cones at the top of my driveway in the winter, so they can't drive down. Now they walk packages. Too bad !!!!

I fed the ups guy a hotdog as he was here quite a long time before the tow got here.

That one pic with the IDI in it… idk if that’s a filter or just an extreme crop, but it gives me nostalgic film camera vibes and I love it. That view you have is phenomenal

That's looking east. This is looking west off my front porch.

I've heard of situations going sideways, but your pictures prove it.

Has something been written about the sideways pictures?

Just hold the phone side ways or in landscape to take the pic, as if you hold it upright the photo down loads as landscape.

People trying that, backwards though. Pic is not upside now.

Just use the pic icon. Slower. One at a time.

Not sideways until I do them to the site

Luckily they sent a big enough tow truck .A F550 or med duty truck at best for that little parcel van .

House has gravel 1/4 mile driveway with hill at front of property. Inclement weather they leave packages at the gate 100' in from they road. Just check my email or tracking to see if it arrived.

Or the tow truck company. I don’t want to know what they charged UPS for use of OP’s truck!

According to my old work that used them to tow stuff occasionally they get $75 a minute to bring that tow truck out.
