      Here in NZ I believe they mostly can set their own routes, being ‘independent’ contractors.

      I have heard Amazon in particular is super tight in the US.

        This is about ups, not Amazon… In America ups isn’t independent contractors, thankfully. That’s a shit ass union busting system designed to defeat worker wages

        Amazon’s model means they’re not especially tight; they run routes all day across larger distances.
