I also live in the country and both UPS and FedEx deliver to me regularly. Even on overnight deliveries, I can leave a signed note to the driver that it's OK to leave the package if no one is home. Often if there is no one home and it's raining, the driver will try the doors on any vehicle outside (we have multiple cars/trucks) and put the package on the driver's seat.
