Do most of your flights originate from SDF? Yes.

First come first serve? Yes. With exceptions at least two seats on each flight will be available for jump seaters. 4 or 5 seats on most planes, 74 has more. You can book seats 12 days prior.

Do you have a dedicated jump seat? Jump seaters sit where they want with captain's permission. Those on Co. business are generally given their choice of seats.

Can I commute on a commercial airliner to SDF, probably two stops? Yes, space available with captain's permission.

Does UPS fly you to SDF commercially like FEDEX? Not an expert but from what I hear FX is generally more friendly for commuters and commercial tickets. If your trip starts or ends with a commercial ticket you can deviate to travel from/to your home. Restrictions apply.

Can I lay on a pile of boxes in the back of the plane?
Not so much.

Good luck
