I am a retired Fedex Freight City Driver and I average about 25-30 stops a day. There were about 12-15 deliveries and about the same with pickups. My tailer could hold about 22-24 pallets and if one or more customers shipped 6-8 pallets on one p/u, this could reduce the number of stops because my trailer would fill up faster. This is when you notify the dispatcher to send backup to p/u from your other customers. Retired 1995 (28 yrs) from the United States Army and from Fedex Freight in 2010 with 15 yrs of service. Be Safe out there!!

UPS is also much harder with the work, and harder to get into as a Driver due to Seniority & signings of ppl wanting to be drivers.
