Today went pretty normal until I got to one of my last stops. I set the package down, took a picture and was returning to my van when I heard a voice. "Hey, how ya doing?" Older gentleman walks around the side of the house. I respond "I'm good I hope you are." Here's where it gets interesting. He says "My wife wanted to know if you needed authorization to drive on someone's property?" Obviously his wife didn't ask this. I said "What do you mean?" He reiterates "Don't you need authorization to drive on someone's property, like backing in their driveway?" Pointing at my van. He continues "I don't remember giving anyone authorization so I was just curious." I said "You kinda did when you ordered the package." We looked at each other for a couple moments. He said "That's funny cause I don't remember that part." I said "Okay, well you have a great day." And left.

Now correct me if I'm wrong but do we not automatically have permission to use the driveway of a customer we are delivering to? Of course if there's signage or notes in the app we shouldn't and I wouldn't. The package would be left at the end of the driveway because I would assume I'm not allowed to walk on the property either. Nor am I walking an unsafe distance from my van in case of a dog. Idk what are yalls thoughts?
