That makes sense.

But this one time I turned onto a dead end where there were cars already waiting on both sides of the truck (blocked in by cars parked on both sides of the street- but he could’ve moved up a bit) to get by, this truck driver most definitely saw these cars waiting. When he pulled up he did so a little and still made us all wait. Im not even exaggerating when I say I was there for no less than 5 minutes sitting waiting for him to move. Normally I would’ve been a little more patient but I was on my way to drop a DoorDash order off and we’re timed (which messes with our ratings). It also seems like this only happens to me when I have to be places like the school bus stop in the morning. lol

Yeah, I'm sure there are exceptions when the workers are simply being inconsiderate and do things that are out of line. But, accounting both for safety and the fact that they have a ton of ground to cover and need to work their asses off, this is one of the few things about our overall terrible trash system that doesn't upset me. If they need to leave the truck in a certain spot to maximize their efficiency and/or safety, I'm okay with that.
