Sorry, but I don’t care anymore.
Oh, we’re conservative, just a bunch of preverts.

I live in a liberal urban concrete sprawl hell hole. No such side hustles will be conducted.No need to worry. More than a few of us have a side hustle. If you’re interested in logging join the team that’s logging my land. If everything goes well it will forward the latest acreage purchase. If things really go south I’ll sell out to the developers.
The cafe crew taught me years ago to diversify and put savings first.

UPS driver was delivering in my neighborhood at 2030 last night when I was walking the dogs. Have seen him around 1900 before, but not that late outside of peak.

We often have drivers out that late. Doesn't help when our leave building times fall between 10:30-11:00+am multiple days a week.

I would do that for Fedex, but only the last couple of days of peak. I'd leave the closest part of my route to the station for after pickups, someone would meet me and swap vehicles and I would continue delivering. Half my station would do that being so far from the ramp.

But at both companies, how do you deal with the 14 hour limit?
I hope they strike. And then, I hope all the stations where FedEx has fired or otherwise screwed its workers is totally overwhelmed by freight they can’t deliver.

Lol! You keep thinking that. FedEx will be more expensive and will milk you contractor’s for every penny they can.

I think you’re missing the point. People always say Express and UPS are the same. They are not. Aside from how freight is moved (majority air or truck) I know at least half of the employees or more in my building could not go out and deliver 175+ stops a day. UPS drivers are compensated fairly well for the blood and soul they sacrifice.

Can't drive after your 14th hour on duty. No exceptions, at least at FedEx. We've had drivers hit 14 pull over and have management come pick them up. Lol

It’s DOT, so it must be the same for UPS. Unless UPS has purchased the DOT.
