I know UPS used to be driver specific for a given route unless that driver isn't working that day. I presume they are still that way. If the same driver has the same route assigned every day then he (or she) is familiar with the territory and can make the delivers quicker.
Also UPS pays by the route ie deliver this many packages this day on this route and you will earn this much money. This is why they are always in such a rush. They are playing a "beat the clock" game. The sooner they get the route done the more per hour they earn. I don't know if they are independent contractors or not. Probably not since they drive a company truck and wear a company uniform.
