I've had plenty of rts where I delivered and picked up 80 to 100+ stops daily. Before you say that's nothing compared to the average UPS driver I had anywhere from three to 6 UPS drivers on those rts. And I loaded my own truck, often after a hr unloading containers. You seem to have an axe to grind with FedEx couriers which is hard to understand. Great pay, great benefits, and yet anger towards us? Most UPSers seem to pity us.
Don't even try explaining it. I've tried many times to point out that we work just as hard as they do
most of the time. I've got 3 UPS drivers on the route I currently have, and they basically drive a few hundred feet between stops. I've got multiple service levels of freight and numerous on-call pickups which don't cut-off until 1600. There are a few people on here who have worked for both and "get it", but most UPSer's do not.
If you take into account the much lower pay and benefits, we work much harder than they do. We do not have pre-loaders, and many of us must work one or both sorts.
