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

[kenmbz]

I thought of doing something that would be like rebar, but with my luck, my wife or a friend would hit it on a dark and rainy night.
That's why no rock there right now.
Used to have a large bush there, but delivery trucks kept hitting it and killed it, even though I kept trimming it back. They see the bushes on the right and try to avoid them, though they have many feet of space.
The UPS and Amazon people seem to actually know where the sides of their truck are, so rarely have a problem with them.
Fedex seems to like to make new roads :-(

I guess better than when they used to leave packages in random places for me to do a scavenger hunt.

Family & friends MAY hit the rebar...but only ONCE.

Or someone will trip and fall and puncture it through their skull.

That's why these things are required on construction sites now.

I just put a large package delivery box at the end of my road labeled UPS/FedEx delivery. They are actually glad to leave it there rather than drive the long road to the house. Amazon doesn’t deliver to my house; they give the packages to the post office, and the post office puts a slip in my cluster mailbox for me to pick it up at the PO.

This is what we will likely do

It works for me because there hasn’t been a theft issue in our rural area.

If you use the logic of many threads about tractor purchases... You just are not spending enough money. Pave more! Upgrade to personal delivery from the CEO. Do you really want those packages? Your place isn't big enough for home delivery. If you paid more the quality would improve.

Or use my low budget method. Use some sand, maybe a lot of sand, on the corners. If a driver 'misses' it is no big deal and if it is deep enough, they can 'feel' it without harming anyone or anything. Of course, I don't care about lawns...

Teach truck drivers how back up? (yeah I know some things are just impossible, being a truck driver myself)

Here sand would turn to mud pretty quick.

I would worry about using a box as the whole box might disappear.
I live in a very nice neighborhood, but a nice box saying "get your free stuff here" would be tempting to people driving by.

UPS and others seem to find and stay on the driveway pretty well.
Fedex likes a bit of offroading and some of the Amazon part timers are not very good even in cars.

Great thought about dual purpose: 1) eliminate delivery truck ruts 2) eliminate trespassers
