It seems to be a local branch culture thing. You see it with USPS offices too.
Some are amazing, mail is delivered perfectly, etc.
Others cannot for the life of them match number to address, and it doesn't seem to matter who is delivering as the attitude spreads across the office.
I think a huge part of this is missing actionable feedback messages.
If USPS/UPS/FedEx had better channels for "my mail was screwed up" reporting, to a granularity necessary to isolate bad branches, I think things would clean themselves up.
As-is, customers learn to live with it and the mothership is unaware the branch is screwing up.

Probably they are getting squeezed to deliver an impossible number of packages during their shift. Hence the stories about drivers peeing in bottles and such.

I've watched the Fedex truck pull up to my house and the guy walk up to the door and slap a sticker on it for missed delivery. Didn't even bother to bring the box, knock, or ring the bell despite my car being in the driveway.
I'm not sure what hell these jobs are that turns drivers into such shitty people, but I feel pretty confident that it is the system turning them into shitty delivery drivers rather than exclusively shitty people applying for delivery jobs.
