    And probably drives on the most efficient route for their run.

    You’re about halfway along the run? They’ll always pass you about halfway through the day.

        Here in NZ I believe they mostly can set their own routes, being ‘independent’ contractors.

        I have heard Amazon in particular is super tight in the US.

          This is about ups, not Amazon… In America ups isn’t independent contractors, thankfully. That’s a shit ass union busting system designed to defeat worker wages

          Amazon’s model means they’re not especially tight; they run routes all day across larger distances.
