FedEx vs. UPS

I you need a package delivered, there's a good chance you're using either FedEx or UPS. The two companies have taken very different paths that have lead them to similar destinations. This video explores those paths while comparing the two both over the years and today.

My husband got hired as a driver for UPS, as Christmas help, back in 1972. They kept him and he continued with this company for 33 years.

I work at UPS and I’m so happy that you guys appreciate us!! It’s so crazy everyday. It is non stop at my location right now, I’m terrified for the holidays.

I just started at FedEx, happy to be there.... I will do my part in trying to make sure all packages get to where they should go.

Whenever the FedEx and the UPS trucks park on the same street I feel the tension between them

All I know is Fedex has lost more of my package then UPS… who has never lost a single one

[thecouchpotatocom]

UPS always takes care of our packages (putting the package on the back porch out of the rain is awesome). FedEx is hit or miss (many wet boxes).

I looked at that FedEx logo for literally decades before I noticed the arrow

[Kenxclout]

I have a friend who works for FedEx and another who works for UPS they both taught me how to tell a decent joke.




It's all about the delivery.

I literally love working at UPS. They have bunch of different positions to work if one thing doesn't work for you, the pay is nice and increases annually, overtime, and promotion within the workforce. No supervisor hasn't worked on the floor, and the employees are unified enough to shut down any d-wad supervisor trying to be unreasonable.

It's a shame how FedEx has declined. They seriously suck now.

[albrunelle]

If they ever merged, would we call them Fed Up?

FedEx and UPS

One crushes your packages.

And the other crushes your packages.

They both crush your packages.

FedX, UPS and USPS drivers get along more than most of you realize. As an hourly employee, we have similar work environments, conditions and issues with management. Don’t believe the stories about the drivers of each company not liking each other. I have worked in a warehouse at UPS (25 years) and I often speak with and see the UPS driver who delivers to my neighborhood talking with the postal worker and the FedX driver. When I was driving Saturday Air for UPS I was often helped by a FedX driver to find an address: this respect goes back and forth. Don’t believe the hype about UPS vs FedX, that doesn’t happen with hourly workers only with management. Oh, I’m case you didn’t know, each of these companies do some degree of business with each other.

UPS has a Facebook page where drivers take selfies with the dogs on their delivery route. Always makes me smile

UPS vans are like FBI swat assault vehicles.
