I don't want to defend some of the worst drivers on the planet but
people's expectations of cheap/free delivery these days means these
guys are often earning piss poor money.

There is a delivery entrance for a warehouse next door to me and most
of the drivers don't even have handsfree calling let alone specialised
satnavs. You often see guys backing-up in a very busy street with a
phone glued to their ears.

As the old saying goes, "pay peanuts, get monkeys."
