How to Prevent Amazon, UPS, Fedex 3 point turn ruts?

[Jstpssng]

This thread is also about movies, friendships with drivers, and several other things - the point is it is still just a rut, not really life-altering. A lot of people do careless things every day - perhaps smoking and throwing butts on the ground, not saying thank you, not holding a door for someone, and leaving carts in a parking lot that could hit someone's car. The point is life and people are not perfect, including me, and if you let everything bother you, it is you that suffers.....

I had a small area near my driveway that I had trouble with grass growing. I tilled it up, fertilized it, watered it. About the time the grass started to sprout well the UPS driver dropped a front tire in it leaving a big rut. He apologized for it and I said don’t worry about it. If the worse thing that happens to me in any given day is a rut in my yard I’m having a good day. On the other hand if he kept doing it all the time I might get upset.

In my case many ruts would damage my and my neighbors equipment so we have to spend time fixing them. Try cutting grass or even walking in deep ruts going at different angles.

And that was the issue here. It’s twice, weekly… and completely unnecessary. Granted, some folks grew up without respect for others property, and that follows them into adulthood. The sort that don’t take their shoes off when they enter your home.

You can get these large plastic stones that look real. You could put one by driveway and easily move it to cut grass.

With my luck , Fedex would just run it over and break it.

We actually put up traffic cones. Which they ran over and destroyed. They also backed over a tree with a 1.5” trunk. Nothing stops them, unless they actually have to pay for damage. Then, it’s miraculous, they found a way

A bit off topic but I once saw a power company bucket truck stuck in somebody's driveway. He'd gotten his heavy duty comealong out and was winching on it... using the home owner's ornamental tree as an anchor. I've always wondered which gave way first; the truck or that 3" tree.
