Are UPS workers really better at their jobs?

FedEx and UPS seem nearly identical in my area, only DHL is competent.

In my experience UPS is better.

In my neck of the woods, UPS is the absolute best, Amazon depends on which driver is doing the rounds this month, and FedEx you're lucky if your package even arrives at the right house.

UPS drivers keep crashing into my rock wall. They aren't even delivering packages to me, they just use my drive way to turn around and keep hitting the rocks.

For some reason its always UPS. Maybe some quirk of their navigation system is tacitly encouraging it.
