What is the name of your state? UT
Can I sue UPS for trespassing on my property and damaging stuff?
Please note that I'm not talking about a truck driving in to deliver a package but rather driving in at all hours of the night causing damage to things without any business of the property. In fact, many of this damage happens when all stores are closed.
I have a corner commercial retail property and UPS drivers seem to like to use the property as a shortcut to avoid a traffic light.
The heavy trucks driving down the road has caused road damage and holes in the ground .
They have run over sprinklers and other irrigation which are expensive and time consuming to repair.
They are even doing this when there are no packages to deliver and even at odd hours at the night such as past midnight.
They have even crashed into light and utility boxes causing outages.
I believe these companies keep GPS data on the trucks that could help prove their actions.
Do I have a case against UPS for the action of their drivers?
Secondly, can I put up a sign saying something like forbidding using the property as a through street and having a fee/fine if they do? So they are agreeing to it by driving in. Road repair is surprisingly expensive.
It might sound funny at first but these large commercial trucks can do a lot of damage that add up over time.
