Report
Just had a company truck here try to turn around in my driveway with a box truck, my driveway is very steep, especially when compared to the four other driveways surrounding me on either side or across the street that are virtually flat. Got the back of his truck stuck in the street because it clearly does not have the clearance to make it up, left tire marks burning rubber trying to get unstuck, left a 5 foot gauge in my street and tire marks at the end of my driveway. When trying to call the company to simply report the incident, I felt like it was completely shrugged off.
