I would say you guys hustle just like we do. I think the express guys on average drive more miles than we do, and drive...a little faster than we do. I would say express doesn't have near the piece count or stop count on average as a UPS driver. The Fedx ground guys have the piece count on the delivery side, but not as much to p/up as the UPS driver. UPS does have all those time commitments that Fedx has. UPS doesn't have a/c, I do know that. I also see some express guys who have like 2-3 hours of down time around noon before they do pickups. I'm sure that's not everyone but I think it's that way because express covers so much area?
Having hours of downtime is the worst possible situation as an express driver. Spend 12 hours at work and get paid for 8 of them...
