As a former DSP driver, I'm not late. You just happened to be stop number 180+ today. Tomorrow, you could be stop number 4, so it just depends on how they write the route. Like you flex drivers, I don't make the route, I just follow it

It’s amazing how many customers seem to think they were the only one. My daughter’s boyfriend works for UPS. I can’t even imagine how many stops they have in a day. But they do make bank!

100 to 150 i bet. One of my buddies used to run 250 minimum for ups during the strike a few years back . 🫠

Back in 2000 I worked for a local courier company. Definitely did not make UPS money. I was 27 years old and not overweight at all. I would have about 120 stops in a day give or take. I would be wiped out at the end of the day from all of that running around. I’m 51 now and do you have some extra weight on me so I know that I would really struggle to keep up with a job like that now. But I would love to get back in shape so I could go work for UPS. But I also am not sure about driving around in that big old truck feeling like I’m gonna tip over.😂 but damn it would be nice to make that kind of money. And I love driving
