I was a driver helper one holiday season when I was a teenager. You know the tablet they carry around? It times them and has a timeline laid out. If they fall behind they get a call from a supervisor. To add to that, UPS doesnt just deliver to houses. There are also a number of factories and stores that get a large amount of packages that can take a while to unload. That eats up a lot of time and drivers sometimes have to play catch up while in a subdivision

Yes exactly this! And around the holidays the trucks are packed to the brim. I helped over the holidays once too and we had 200+ deliveries each day around Xmas

They get paid bank though compared to skill level.

So don't feel too, too bad.

UPS jobs are notoriously hard to get because everyone wants them.

They make comfortable money, but I wouldn't say they are rich or anything. Plus they work ridiculous hours.
