With USPS and UPS it doesn’t depend on the driver, they all get the job done and do so safely. Meanwhile I’ve almost been killed on my bike by FedEx drivers multiple times. Has never happened around UPS and USPS trucks. I once watched a FedEx driver pull up in front of my apartment and literally locked eyes with the guy before he pulled away again and my tracking updated to “package undeliverable”. They’re over-worked, under-paid, under-trained, and it shows.
FedEx is so bad that if they’re the only shipping option for an online order, I go and find a different vendor.
It depends on the driver really. The guy on our route is great. The one for my mom is the worst.

Guess that’s the difference between union and non-union employees.
I’m fairly sure that at least FedEx ground is all contracted drivers. They’re kinda like a franchise that owns a particular route.
I’ve had packages delivered to my bin before now. Without telling me.
