If a delivery point appears to be more than seven van lengths away, what is recommended?

• A. Using the driveway
• B. Back up slowly
• C. Pull over to the curb
• D. Call a supervisor

Answer: (A)

Safety and efficiency come first when a delivery point is farther away. If the address looks more than seven van lengths out, using the driveway gives you a safe, legal place to park close to the home. That lets you unload from a stable position and walk a shorter distance to the door, while keeping the van out of the travel lane and reducing the risk of blocking traffic or creating hazards for pedestrians. It also avoids the dangers of backing up in traffic or forcing a long walk from a curbside spot. Calling a supervisor isn’t needed for routine deliveries like this.
