U-turns: the thread that shouldn't have to exist!

Well I got sent down a detour in The Bronx after unloading at Hunts Point. I guarantee if I proceeded problems would have happened. Cop Caddy Quarter from me. I looked at him and shrugged my shoulders and whipped it around before I got into a bind. I think you have to just have common sense.

 

One thing I am for sure of... Common sense is not so common these days

 

I was asked if they still taught it in school by a young driver looking for a job when I told him I liked drivers that used Common Sense

 

i have another idea, assuming it would be possible, why not build a turn around spot. obviously the people who don't get the square peg round hole concept are also afraid of blind siding justifiably so as they don't have the skill set to do it. there might be some permitting things to go threw ect but why not get a dozer out there to push the top soil off push a little clay dirt around a few truck loads of gravel and graded push the top soil back in over the top of the new ditch grade and its magic no more fence getting knocked down.

 

The saying "You can't fix stupid", is incorrect. Just Google 'Darwin Awards'. Stupid fixed

 

Our company yard leases the warehouse to Orion Logistics, who ships a lot of transload merchandise. Lot of steering wheel holder companies pick up there. Our street address is Weaver Road but our truck entrance is on Kenazo Rd which you turn off of to get on Weaver. There's a sign that says Muñoz Trucking with an arrow pointing up Kenazo Rd. towards our truck gate but that doesn't keep the occasional knucklehead from turning up Weaver Rd following his GPS only to have to turn around.

 

i was under the impression it was the receivers property and they would build the turn around. less liability risk to have trucks sight side in as well as not continually having to replace a fence.

if i pulled in somewhere and no signs or information saying that there was no place to turn around and it looked like it might be ok i might drive past as well looking for a place to turn around to approach from a better direction. of course i get the square peg round hole concept and would end up having to back back out. assuming that it looked probable for a turn around and no one said anything otherwise. if they built the turn around right at the property and put up signs saying "no trucks past this point." they would probably avoid a lot of it. of course the more you try to idiot proof something they will just make a better idiot.

still trying to find a solution to the problem is better than whining about the problem and doing nothing. its kinda hard to say without seeing the problem
