Amazon drivers seem to be some of the worst drivers I've seen - speeding, stopping on blind turns, and trouble backing up or negotiating driveways.

Isn't that because they're expected to meet insane delivery schedules with severe consequences for their pay if they can't make them?

I assume that is part of it. But it doesn't explain their inability to back up well or navigate driveways.

I have also wondered if the better drivers have already found jobs with UPS and FedEx since they pay much better.

They never seem to be in a huge hurry when on foot.

No joking, just this morning outside my house in a residential neighborhood it’s raining heavily and a fully loaded prime van is gunning it and peeling out and fish tailing. I thought the driver was gonna crash for sure!
