[QUOTE="Mutineer, post: 4608264, member: 69587"] What many couriers (especially USPS and UPS drivers) fail to understand or admit is that the proper, natural place for this occupation is as an unskilled, miserable, dead-end, minimum wage job. FedEx Ground, Ontrac, Lazership, Amazon, and many others have been proving this point everyday for many years now. With modern electronic mapping and navigating, driver turnover doesn't matter so much anymore. Not like it used to. And with a perpetual surplus of unskilled labor, workers don't matter anymore. And yes, customers will be angry and complain. They are ALWAYS angry and complaining about something, anything! They will get used to the new normal and forget what they were complaining about to begin with, and invent NEW reasons to complain. I admit that drones can't replace everything that we do. But they can do some of what we do. And every year, they WILL get better. And changes will be made at all levels in order to accommodate them. [/QUOTE]
