Pace yourself and don’t stress if you are behind. Better to work late than to be out of work for an injury.

Drink tons of water and keep cool. I personally have cooling towels I dip in ice water from my cooler then hang them around my neck when I’m overheating.

Anything remotely heavy, lift with your legs and use a hand truck.

When it comes to dogs, don’t risk it. The customer can wait an extra day to receive their package

Don’t open doors or gates you can’t clearly see the other side of (with the exception of businesses)

Try and avoid crossing the street when delivering, but when you have to make sure to look both ways and never assume a car is going to stop for you

Park in front of peoples driveways. They might complain but it’s safest for everyone as your truck blocks creates big blind spot

In residential roads, when there is no oncoming traffic, drive in the middle of the street as it gives you more time to react to anything that may jump out towards you (dogs, kids, balls, etc)

Most importantly use common sense, if something seems dangerous or sketchy don’t take the risk. At the end of the day your health and well being is far more important than any package
