UPS seems to be having a rough year. Two large boxes on my front porch when I got home today , except they weren't for us . Fortunately, I recognized the name, so I was able to deliver them to the correct house.

If only we privatized UPS, they would deliver better service and not screw up such a simple task. Oh wait....

I thought only public companies could screw up, private companies were always perfect.

Maybe people should start tipping their package delivery drivers, so that they receive better service? You do know that these guys only get paid like 9 -11 bucks an hour, right?

Actually I think UPS and Fedex gets paid allot more than that. I was offered a job sorting packages at the Fedex HQ in Memphis once. That paid back then 11 dollars an hour. I remember back in 1999 I met a guy who dove UPS truck. He was new at the time and made somewhere around 12 dollars an hour. Im sure UPS or Fedex start their drivers around 15 bucks an hour at least + full benefits.
