@@kevincowan2639 😂 yes but I gotta say, it’s helped me drop weight since that video lol! And YES it’s a physically active job. Which is why extra exercise can help you out in the long run 🤙🏽 Thanks for the comment!
I was hired by Amazon and when it was time for me and like 3 other people to start driving they said they had a lot of driver already and that was day 1 ..day 2 we was on stand by ..day 3 they said it wasn’t a lot of routes ..I was like nah I’m good I went and started working some where else ..I think it’s a good part time job but it shouldn’t be your only job because a lot of times they will pull that on people
Bro I just quit today they wanted me to do 175 stops on my first day by myself I didn't get done till 9pm and I started at 11 this morning I told myself this shit ain't worth it and I only had four more packages to do but once when the GPS took me on the wrong route I said f*** this s***
@@bryantjoseph5275 I get it brotha lol! And usually the first should be under a hundred stops to prep you. And then you get somewhere into 175s or less. I wouldn’t have been about it if they started me that way too! Hope you find your next endeavor!!
@@martinmanaoat989 thank you brother I really appreciate it I feel bad for quitting but I don't think it's worth my time specially since it's going to be winter and I live 30 minutes away from the Amazon warehouse that I worked at plus everyone was talking about these nursery routes and how there's not that many stops I was all for it at first then I looked at how many packages I had and it was 175 special getting paid for 21 bucks an hour for all that stress and work they put you through all by yourself you should at least get 25
!! ** An actual genuine comment/response ** !! All the best to you and your family my friend. Truly. - To those that watched this video in attempt to learn and consider if an Amazon DSP Delivery Driver job is for you , you absolutely 1000000% can NOT get an accurate idea of what this particular job entails after just a week. I know this as fact, because I just completed my 3rd week as one. In your first week, you are meant to go on a ride along your first day, and then they send you on "Nursery Routes" (which range around the 70-ish delivery stops in your day. You will not typically work a full 8 hours during this period. Also, 70-ish deliveries is only half of what you are tasked with during your 3rd week. The second week, you are tasked with 100-ish deliveries, give or take 10-12. During your 3rd week, as I mentioned, you are given 140-ish deliveries, give or take, that can be around 250-ish packages. From what I was told by a trainer, is that once a month hits, you're tasked with full capacity. Which I believe is 300-ish packages. So I'm guessing that may be around a 170-ish delivery stops. In one day. I won't lie, it's brutal. Granted, depending on the topography of land in your area/state/location...some of y'all may have it harder than others. Where I'm at, some of the routes I am regularly tasked with, are in extremely hilly areas. Sometimes and/or often you cannot park in the homeowner's driveways; be it due to their request that you park on the street, or there may be obstacles that prevent you from parking there. Which means, you're walking it. If it's hilly, you're going to have it harder and wear-out faster than a driver that is delivering on all/or mostly flat land. Don't get it twisted though, even on flat land, this is an extremely exhausting job. Both physically and mentally. They want you to drive safely; and they activelytell you to drive safely, they do. At the same time, you're expected to deliver ALL of those said packages, during a specific timeframe. Which means, yes you drive safe, but you are ........E V E R Y W H E R E ....... . Frankly, it's a fairly reckless job. Because you are loaded up with so much, with only so much time (which the two aren't properly balanced) , you are on panic-type alert , being on the lookout for address numbers; which many are either not there, hidden/blocked, and/or the same color tone as the wall or pillar it's attached to; essentially making it almost invisible by being so camouflaged. Oh, and just wait 'til it's night and dark outside, trying to find those numbers. Yes, you have a mapping system on your provided phone, that accurately shows homes/buildings/apartments. But you still need to be able to visually confirm that the location you're delivering to, is indeed the meant location. You're going to be backing up, A LOT. Often down very very long driveways and/or roads. (again, where you're located and it's topography will determine the difficulty and amount of stress) What's crazy, is in every daily morning meeting, they inform you that if you need a rescue, you'll be written up. (a "rescue" is another delivery driver meeting up with you somewhere, they pretty much never inform you that a rescue is meeting up with you; and the other driver typically takes around half of the amount of packages and deliveries you have left remaining. I want you to thing of this as a zoom zoom race car high intensity aerobics class carrying weights for an average of 8 hours straight. You have a half hour lunch period. Two 15 minute breaks, which I haven't been able to use, because it's so non-stop. You have no time to rest. Where I'm at, pays $19.75/hour . Which in all honesty, should pay $29.75/hour. I honestly could go on and on . . . Yes I'm 39 years of age, and maybe that plays into it. But it's a tough job, one I personally wouldn't recommend to anyone.
@@bvz9712 no problem! Thanks for checkin out the channel! Not from what I’ve seen, most DSP’s hire full time. You might wanna try Amazon Flex if you’re thinking of doing it part time. The downfall of that tho is you gotta use your own car. No problem tho if you got a hybrid or electric.
Honestly, after working there for a little bit, I do not hate the job at all. I do believe everybody has their different opinion but honestly, I love it. Only thing I hate about it is the heat and getting in and out of the van constantly but other than that I love driving. it’s very good. Not to mention. Quick money long days, but it’s worth it.
@@taiscruz7833 same here brotha. It could be difficult some days but what job or life isn’t? I don’t mind the job and like I said, no manager breathing down your neck and if you love driving and just being out, this is easy money 👍🏾! Thanks for the comment brotha!
How is he having a good time and doing all this with the camera ? I’m about to start and wanna know how sensitive it is Like can I check phone occasionally just not stay on it or hit my vape or what
@@SuperCRAZYJ101 Lol I try to make the best out things that’s why lol! so with the vans that have the camera in them, they can be super sensitive. I start recording before I drive if anything. I highly recommend not checking your phone if you’re driving because the cams are super sensitive. One time I was checking something on my shirt and it said that I was “distracted driving” and one time I sneezed and it said I was distracted driving lol and my DSP doesn’t really care about smoking so I do hit my vape.! I hope this helps and I hope you have fun starting up!
i appreciate you for making this. been doing amazon for 2 yrs and drive a stepvan. theres a huge difference between people that do this for a week and trash on it and people that do it for a month plus and understand the perks of this job. every tike i finish my route im so happy and thankful im not in a warehouse or factory and listening to a manager tell me how to work. two of my favorite things anout the job is listening to ur own music, phone calls, and problem solving and doing things the way you want them done
Thank you for the comment and thank you for that insight! And I totally agree with ya on that end where there’s a difference in those who take this job. Also yes, once the day is done, I’m happy and glad I’m not in the warehouses too lol!
@@yurypierre-louis7482 so far it’s been chill. Good job just hard work. Not difficult but hard. But you’re also on your own on the road and no manager breathing down your neck. It could work for some like me and some may not like the load. You thinking of applying? Thanks for the comment!!
This guy just started he said he hasn’t got anything over 20 pounds you get dog food, kitty litter and everything you get up to 50 pounds Amazon job is not worth it work for DHL if you can
@@jeremydouglas1672 yea it was my first week there and they have since then given more than 25lbs. That was the start of my job and am still currently there. You have a stink toward it but I don’t mind it even tho I get some heavier pkgs now, it’s all in what you’re willing to deal with. I do have my gripes on somethings but something small like pounds, that one thing is no reason to quit a job unless you can’t handle the weight which is not too bad. Glad DHL is working out for ya tho bro
@@martinmanaoat989 you like it now wait until peak season 250 stops 350 to 400 packages. Then you got rescue someone after you done too much work for 18.50-20$ a hrs DHL, I get about 30 stops and 50 packages 19 hour five days a week. Believe me try to work for DHL if you can
Be very aware of your mechanics is facts, because in that van I hit my head which crunched my neck a bit. It was numb for about a min and still hurts when I turn it, but I think I’m good lol
@@dcmasta123 I’m just gone say its WORK but easy but work and also it depend on who your DSP people are determine how your work experience will be we have poor DSP down here where I am from
@@amytaylor8182 lol thank you!! And don’t freak it’s all good! You’ll be starting with a nursery route so you won’t have a lot and it will give you time to figure out how things work! If you have any questions let me know! And have fun!
most annoying shit with Amazon is we werent allowed to go into peoples driveways. I delivered to quite a few customers that had STUPID long driveways really slowed ya down.
Dude bring a box cutter to work and cut that top half off of the tote to establish a container for the existing delivery tote. The faster you finish the more the App goes out of its way to frustrate you more with multiple out of sequence deliveries.
If you drive the white van open your glove case and put a empty tote flat on your passenier seat so you have a stabile platform to put al your not big package on it,if you have 20 package on it say 20 package put o til 10 on the left side 1 to the back seat of the seat and 10 to the glove case then on the right side you put 11 til 20 the same lick the left side so you dont have put the envlope and packages to the window 😮.if you dont have a glove case but only a passenger seat put a big box in front of the seat and put a empty tote on it.
@@martinmanaoat989 Sometimes the parcels slide towards you when you drive around the bend, but if you point the tote with the high side towards you, they stay in place or you can stop it with your hand, but in general they just stay up. their place. I work for DHL myself and they just use numbers in order, so if I have 140 packages, they are simply numbered from 1 to 140, so the organization goes quite quickly that way, about half a minute to a minute on the chair.
Hey Martin. Great video. Helpful advice and tips. I started my Amazon dsp journey a few days ago. I will be driving the van in a ride along tomorrow with my trainer.
Well I just finished the last day of the driving test and passed it with flying colors but now I have Friday Saturday and Sunday off yes!!! Lol they told me I'll be on my own the first day of delivery 😮
Can you make a q&a video I have a few questions that I would like to know your answers 1. How do you feel about parking on the opposite side of the rode in residential streets 2.Do you leave the car running when making a delivery or door open( in my dsp it’s a big no no but it saves so much time) 3.how do you feel about the pay 4. What was the toughest part about learning the job 5. What are the pros and cons of your dsp 6. Do you plan on getting trained for step van? 7.how is the overtime Ps: Love the videos man 💪
One coming this week my guy! Thank you so much for stopping by and requesting more! Glad you’ve enjoyed what I’ve put out so far! Stay tuned more coming, also, if there anything I can address for you in future videos? Let me know! Thanks again, I appreciate you!
Just came across your channel. Great content. Live in California, and I plan on starting my journey as an Amazon delivery driver soon. Thank you for the insight, advice and inspiration. If I may ask, what part of California do you do Amazon delivery driver job in?
Awesome brotha! Thanks for stopping by the channel! And I’m stoked to hear you starting your journey! I’m always excited to hear people finding insight through my experience and glad you found some inspiration behind it! Like I said, it’s a simple job but not easy! Keep that in the back of your mind my friend! Other than that, the jobs been good for me! I deliver in the Bay Area! How bout you bro?
@@martinmanaoat989 thank you for the reply brother. Oh nice, I have always wanted to visit the Bay Area. I would be delivering in the Redlands CA area, within the inland empire.
Omg agreed! I can’t stress that enough too which is why working out and form and technique are very important! I have pretty bad knees, so paying attention to how I turn and get up are crucial..which is why I like the EDV’s cuz it’s more of a get down then it is getting up from that seat! Lol
It varies from day to day but averaging around 350 packages. You probably won’t be able to move the whole tote up there but if you got room for sure! You can always empty the tote out and organize all the packages up front. That’s what I do now with the white vans or EDV’s. Hope this helped you brotha
@@jaystechroom I can say that the job can be chill but take that with a grain of salt because it is hard work like I’ve said. Don’t expect it to be too chill, but on the side of being able to listen to your own music, you’re on your own, no manager constantly hounding you or eagle eyeing you and you’re out and about and driving, it’s definitely chill in that way n exactly why I took. Great pay, for what I consider to be a pretty chill job. It’s a win still in my book lol
@@martinmanaoat989 I got hired. Haven’t started training yet. Training to be a bus driver but no summer work yet so I had to find something else in meantime. My background is still going through.
Boy oh boy you're fortunate. My DSP doesn't meet up until 1110. We're the last DSP to leave between 1220 and 1245 depending on how fast they gather out routes and I don't get to my first stop until approx. 25 to 33 minutes afterwards. But it's all good though bc I'm getting more familiar with Alexandria already and my time is getting better each week.
Oh deng man, yeah I feel bad for those who start the later shift and having to be out later! I hated it during Nov-Dec cuz it got dark earlier lol! And yeah you’ll eventually build up speed the more you familiarize yourself with, your organization and area. Sucky thing is, as long as I’ve been at mine, they’ve switched areas like 4 times now and getting a new area sucks cuz it feels like starting over again lol
@@martinmanaoat989 Yeah, I agree I had 138 stops 233 packages yesterday my route got screwed up by the warehouse around 12, I usually get to my first stop at around 12:55 but I didn't get to my first stop until 1:55 so yeah had get rescued for the first time, yeah but I finished. lol
So I’m just curious, how does the whole fueling the van up work? Like do they make you pay for it yourself? Or do they give you some kind card or something?
Damn, the first 1:30 minutes I felt like we in the same position. This definitely helped me kind take a different look on things. I got offered job with 3rd party delivery for Amazon and have a tour of the place and process this Monday. I’m working my “dream job” right now as a motorcycle apprentice mechanic at a custom vtwin shop but I make way less than I’m use to and I was told to get the schooling to get farther with this career. So now I’m thinking of taking this delivery job to make some more money, pay off some debt and save for school hopefully, will be making good $3 more than what I make now so hopefully I can just grind and make it work for a while 🤟🏼 great video! Maybe tmi but your video just felt like same situation I’m in haha
Amazon lies! Two day delivery, if they feel like it! Try to cancel an order? Whoops, can't do it! Already shipped! Not on my end! Liars! Oh you can return item by paying 8.00 for UPS! Or sit on your porch all day and refuse delivery? Awful customer service!!!!!
