Can't tell by your description whether you're already doing what I'm going to suggest...
Delivery trucks need "safe passage" without worry of running over strollers, grannys etc. Your best bet might be to use the delivery route lanes if that's practical. These routes are paved and usually unmarked. The trucks usually come early in the morning and that lane is clear most of the day...Trucks are easy to see but you will be invisible (so always wait for them if you see 'em backing or pulling in).
If that becomes your route, you'll see same trucks at about the same times. This solution is not for everyone but it works for me.
