PurpleRainPromise

We have a fleet of purple and orange unicorns capable of ludicrous speed. This service costs as much as a plane ticket though.

We never intentionally try to damage packages (I know there are videos of us, FedEx, UPS, DHL, etc mistreating packages) but, if you're observed abusing a package, whether in a FedEx facility or outside, it is grounds for immediate termination. Sometimes the handlers that have to load Aircraft Cans have to play tetris with hundreds, sometimes thousands of packages per day and may accidentally place a heavier item on top of a more delicately constructed box. Most commonly though, the sender does a very poor job of preparing the package for delivery.. notably places like Wal mart and other retailers. The boxes are too weak for the contents, the tape is weak, and has a difficult time sustaining the endurance from point A to B. We never want to have to deliver damaged boxes though, it makes us look very unprofessional and, personally, bothers me a lot throughout the day if I ruined someones day by giving them a messed up parcel.

Only Fred Smith knows. This secret is guarded more than the Krabby patty formula.

1 - Yes, they are ordered in sequence, however I don't get turn by turn on paper, drivers can request one, but I get a map printed out with my stops marked in numbers. So, basically you go to your first stop, then I take one look at my map and figure "okay I turn right here, left here, and a right two blocks down". Though there are times when it's plotted inefficiently and I will change the course of the route myself.

Now at Ground/HD, at least where I worked, my contractor provided me with an actual GPS that had our routes pre-loaded in the morning. That was pretty nice.

2 - I think it was you can't have any major traffic violations/accidents in the last 2 years, and you must pass your criminal, vision, and health background. You must also be 21 or older because there will be times you have to deliver alcohol or other controlled substances.

3 - I've had a few, but nothing really beyond that. Most of my stops are regular customers and we are all friendly with each other. There are times when I deliver to new offices that I feel that I am looked down on, though.

Haha I know this is a joke, but there have been cases where substances have leaked from a package and a drug specialist was called to confirm the substance. I've even heard that, before I started working, there was one package that had illegal substances in it so the police were called and a sting was set up at the recipient's address.
