When your yard looks like a Fedex parking lot.
We are 15 miles from town an UPS believers once a day out this way.But just now had 2 Fedex trucks here at the same time. First one had a paperback book or 2. Second had a 10x12x18 box with notebooks, something for church.
I am sure the distribucion center for Fedex is 40 miles or more way. How do they stay in business running multiple trucks over the same area?
Oh well only nickel and dime stuff  not new clothes and jewellery. |

I can go 'one better'... When I have time, I design/build 'stuff' using microcomputers... As I have a real company, I can get 'free samples'. So every few months, go online, fill-in-the-blanks, and an order is made. Usually within a week UPS arrives. He hands me a small 'polypak' that has 3 thumbsized 'chips', costing 50 cents each ,in it that comes from Thailand, then India, then W Germany, then then the USA then Hamilton then to me !!

Maybe if they deliver and pick up with the same vehicle, they get confused...

Have a cousin that works for Fed Ex, and a co worker that used to work for UPS, so have a little insight to both. Fed Ex trucks probably came from 2 different terminals. Different color stripes on trucks and uniforms designate different type of freight, and which terminal they are from. FedEx ground, FedEx air, and FedEx freight. Cousin works in freight division. Drives a tractor trailer. Most of the freight he hauls requires a forklift.
As for UPS, they leave the terminal fully loaded. Start delivering as soon as they leave working their way out to the furthest point. Once empty, start loading as they work their way back to terminal. Basis principle that works quite well.
