[QUOTE="Doubleparkedrunner, post: 4556732, member: 71878"] Its funny ; when I ran my particular ground route I would always see 3, 4 or even 5 UPS drivers in my area on a daily basis and I always chalked it up to them "not being as busy" as us or something. I couldn't understand how I could be "busting my hump" and " doing the job " of multiple UPS drivers with just my one truck ! It wasn't until I moved over that I realized that UPS runs were just so much more fine tuned and densely packed. I would hear these stories of UPS drivers going out with 150 stops and that was unfathomable to me at ground as id top out at a hundred or so. But what I wasn't seeing was that at ground I had learned only my one route and didn't fully appreciate the vast difference between high mileage and lower mileage and denser routes. Also, the technology and efficiency is more advanced and sharper at UPS. I tell my fellow drivers there and they can't :censored: believe me as it seems like a :censored: show on most days at UPS. They are baffled when i tell them it looks like a well oiled machine compared to my fedex days. [/QUOTE]
