In our area, UPS at least was been hiring individuals with their own private vehicles to deliver packages. These individuals apparently are fairly clueless.
In at least two cases the individuals marked business not open at almost the same exact time that our normal driver was picking up our daily pickup. Our driver was less than amused when he saw these. I think they've stopped doing this at least in my neighborhood but if they're doing good elsewhere that could explain it. On the other hand, FedEX can't be explained. No matter how dry the roads are, if they didn't deliver a package, it's a weather delay.
