The last I heard, UPS drivers leave the dock with "x" number of parcels. If they deliver them in 6 hours, they are done and go home. If it takes them 12 hours, it takes them 12 hours. They get paid the same - by the route, not by the hour. (Ever notice most UPS drivers are young?) It it normal and routine to see drivers, especially in residential areas, out after 5PM. The guy across the street gets frequent UPS deliveries and it is not at all unusual to see the big brown truck after 5PM. Because most businesses are closed after 5PM, it is normal for all delivery services to schedule business deliveries before residential deliveries. Each route may include both businesses and residences; the driver delivers to the businesses first and then to the residences. So most likely an order placed to your workplace would arrive before 5PM.
