Why do the drivers refuse to answer their phone? I realize they may not be allowed to talk on the phone while driving but you think they would respond once they parked. Also, all trucks have GPS transponders now (I thought at least) so their parent company can see where they are. I would think UPS or Tesla could call the shipping company's dispatch and get an update or be able to track the GPS on the car itself.
UPS commercial trucking doesn't work this way. This isn't a customer focused area for UPS. The truck drivers drive all-day-everyday, they could care less about their cargo and just want a paycheck. Most of a truckers deliveries are to commercial businesses, so being cheery and responding to your phone calls is the last thing on their mind.
No one cares about your stuff the way you do, so it's hard for me to believe that a truck driver is going to get on the phone to talk to you when he's got deadlines to make. There are other things in his truck that he has to get delivered, and we're just a line item on an endless sheet of paper.
Be patient! It's the holidays, the drivers are people too, and I'm sure they are trying their best.
