Meanwhile, FedEx?
By contrast, nonunion FedEx Ground drivers make between $20 and $25 an hour, depending on their tenure and geography, according to Patton. Only about 20% of drivers have benefits, he said, and amenities such as air-conditioned vehicles are hit or miss. “Some contractors provide them, others don’t,” he said.
Unlike UPS drivers, who are company employees, FedEx Ground drivers are employed by independent contractors who work directly with the company. The lower-cost FedEx Ground model has been instrumental in FedEx becoming a force in ground delivery since it entered the business in 1998. It is expected to be even more pivotal as FedEx moves to integrate its FedEx Ground and Fedex Express delivery businesses.

Consider "death by autonomous driving" instead. Think AI.

I think for the delivery companies, the "autonomous driving" will be from "hub to hub" with the last mile handled by local drivers.
