My FedEx guy just told me he has 200 deliveries today

[Rorey]

TWO HUNDRED!!!

How in the world could one person fulfill that obligation?????

1. My US Mail route had 772 daily stops. 200 packages (in addition to mail) would be an average day.

According to my pedometer, I walked 17 miles a day.

13. That, too, is insane. NT

2. especially without any bathroom breaks..... n/t

3. Depends where they are. A rural route might be tough. An area in a city with big

office buildings and apartments, maybe not as bad.

But, he’d definitely be hustling, and maybe working overtime.

[Rorey]

4. All I know

All I know is that I felt more than a bit guilty as he was carrying my heavy box from Chewy up my driveway.

[LiberalFighter]

5. But he would only be doing that once compared to how many times if smaller?

[Rorey]

12. I wonder what happened to the FedEx person I used to have

She was amazing in the amount of weight she could carry. She delivered a super heavy cat tree once like it was a pillow. I had her leave it at the bottom of my stairs, and I had to open the box and bring it up piece by piece.

[Hoyt]

8. Yeah, I feel bad when they bring my cat litter. A bunch of stops like that

would be tough.

[Rorey]

9. That's what he brought two days ago

And he knew that's what was in the box.

I'm not going to be needing to order any more of either the food or litter for awhile. My own cats don't really eat much, and they don't use their litter boxes, preferring to go outside. I buy for my daughter, whose needs are greater than my own.

19. Rural route have trees.

But that would only work OK for male drivers, I guess.

6. FedEx came to my office today.

I asked him if he was delivering a lot of toilet paper. He said none, but for some reason, he's been delivering office furniture all day long. Figure that one out. Maybe delivering to people's homes for home office set-ups?

[Rorey]

11. Makes sense

I mean the office furniture.

[we can do it]

7. He does drive, right?

[Rorey]

10. He pulls a cart.

He had a pretty hard time getting up the hill to my house.

14. My dad worked at ups

He would have more than that every day. Christmas it would be 300-400 in a rural area. And that was 15 years ago

[Rorey]

16. That's crazy.

[William769]

15. I hope they can manage. I get my meds through Fed-Ex.

[Rorey]

17. The deliveries are coming a lot later in the day.

FedEx used to come to my neighborhood around 10 in the morning. Now it's late afternoon. It's 4:40 here, and I'm still expecting a couple more parcels, and my mail hasn't come yet.

18. Last week they didn't show up at my house till 6:00pm

This week they are back to around 10:00am.
