Drives me mad. DHL, UPS, FedEx...it doesn't matter. We work in a critical industry and frequently utilize dedicated trucks, too. "Next Day Early AM" generally delivers around lunch now when it used to be by 8am - if it even shows up the next day at all. A dedicated truck that used to take a max of six hours can now take up to twenty-four.
