As prime week went on, The days got worse and worse 😅. The routes were 1 hour late, people getting 200 stops, I even heard the warehouse was 20 people understaffed 😮. Get ready for peak boys and girls

@johnperry6201 11 месяцев назад

I put up with Amazon for 3 years, I quit right before the Prime sale like two weeks ago. I've watched the stops, the packages, and the group stops get worse and worse. Amazon's algorithm will always push you harder than it should. If it learns you can do 20 stops in a half hour, the next day it will expect you to deliver 30 stops in a half hour. Never again will I work for Amazon! UPS pays way more and has way better benefits

@blpanthers00 11 месяцев назад

these jobs like working in fast food/waitress jobs are meant as transition jobs for ones who are trying to build their resume. theyre not meant to be lived off of. theyre meant for young ones fresh outta high school/still in school with work permit. these jobs are very simple and require no real skill or thinking, just doing tasks that require manual labor.

@wsb906 10 месяцев назад

I enjoy your videos. I have developed mobility issues in my old age, and use Amazon quite a bit. I really appreciate what you guys do for me. I have special instructions on where to leave the packages. Which is just to the right of my door. That way I can get it into the house while still staying inside. Far and away, the Amazon drivers leave the packages right there. I do my best to select my weekly delivery date, to minimize the number of times you folks have to show up at my place. And during crazy times, like Prime Day and Black Fridays, I try to push out the delivery date, unless I really need the item. Hoping that will help you guys to not be so buried. Thanks for all you do.

Amazon overworks their delivery drivers. Yes, we get 2 "15 minute breaks" AND a "30 minute lunch", but majority of drivers don't take breaks, because otherwise, we end up falling behind according to amazons metrics. Meanwhile, warehouse workers at DSP's get air conditioning, can take all their breaks, and more. DSP workers need to stand up and fight for better wages, because i have done SOOOO much work as a driver, and don't feel like i get paid enough for what I go through. Shit, someone has threatened to KILL me before because their package was a day late, and I don't even have control of that. Stop bending over for your DSP's people, and realize that they only care about putting extra money in THEIR pockets.

@daylen577 11 месяцев назад

On one hand it's neat that Amazon's trying to do delivery themselves, because other postal services are not exactly ideal either and they're also overworked during holiday seasons, but Prime Day rush really is mental. Here in my country we don't have Amazon DSPs, it's all just DHL and evening couriers, so it's incredibly hit & miss in terms of quality. But we get the same drivers most of the time, so we usually buy them a box of chocolates or something around the holidays as a thank you.

@mattevans1643 7 часов назад

It's not so Much the DSPs. The DSPs are pretty good about everything, and will have your back when they can. Obvious things like running a red light, yeah you're done, can't help you there. The way you're DSP treats you depends totally on how you are as a worker. If you're good they're good to you. If you're bad they want you to quit, because they don't want to fire you. Because being fired and quitting are very different when it comes to being a delivery driver. It's Amazon that doesn't give a damn about you. Can't blame your boss, they're just trying to get paid too. There's an old saying "If you don't want to be bossed around, then just be the boss". That means you gotta put the work in first, so you can have the money to become your own Boss. Or just have a lot of money already.

My prime day was 20 stops 230ish packages all luxury high rises with 8 of them being door to door and the rest were mailrooms. Did 2 rescues for bonus and got back around 6:45 supervisor let me chill in van until 7:15 before clock out. Great time

Yo pro tip from when I used to work at amazon, turn off data or I think you put the phone on airplane mode when the location thing pops up and it allows you complete stop. Used to do it all the time when customers had a bin for packages at the beginning of their long driveway.

@educatedhorses193 Месяц назад

The problem with most drivers is they follow all the silly rules that Amazon has. Like don’t pull into driveways unless they are 7.5 van lengths long Fck that. I pull into every driveway no matter how short it is

Great video man. I work at amazon and its my 3rd day so far. Its very laboe intensive as i work in the warehouse FC. Its a FT seasonal position and im not liking the work culture and management. Im thinking about switching to a better one soon. I only took this job for the money it offered but i wish i looked at your video before taking the job. Im planning on resigning from the position soon. Im gonna look at something better and im also gonna work my way into cybersecurity as im currently studying for ISC² cert along with google one. I recently completed my google IT support one back in September. Im gonna plan to apply for better jobs to leave amazon because the mental and physical stress it carries is not worth the sacrifice.

@daveinthelife91 11 месяцев назад

I had another someone at my station, another DSP, return with half of their route and quit on the spot. Apparently they sent them out with OVER 700 packages!!! I couldn't believe it but I saw how many they returned and talked to the yard marshall. I've never even heard of someone trying to throw that much load on one driver. They were in a huge CDV and it was apparently packed to the rim. I don't even think I would have tried if I was them.

I have country side route, the only nice thing is enjoy the corn and bean field. 180 stops on country side don't seem alright. 1/3 of it was resident neighborhood. I have quit and got my CDL. After 1 year OTR i going back to local working as amazon truck driver. It was so easy and less stress. Working 4 day a week and earn up to 1,500$. Yesterday i just drove empty trailer from Memphis Tennessee back to Indianapolis. I earn up 26 to 30 dollars per hours depend on my driving performance. I miss the old day driving as van delivery. But it not worth coming back. Good luck brother.

@leepialong 10 месяцев назад

Amazon was good enough for you to go back. Plenty of local jobs that pay more than $26-$30. LTL: old dominion,FedEx freight, Estes, xpo.... Food service: US foods, Sysco, PFG.... Fuel hauling: Ramos oil, kag, flying j etc...

What is with it when I try shopping on Amazon? It's like a therapy session I did not ask for. No wonder they have a high turn over rate for employees...let alone customers. Hell even if it were the clinic I went to a while back secretly doing so...doubt they'd ever admit to doing it.

@ẞæmǐø 9 месяцев назад

I tried it but I quit after one week. That shit was exhausting and the timing is f’ed up too. We don’t get enough time to load the package and by the time we start it’s already 12pm. Since it’s winter, you only have 4hrs of daylight to deliver 230 packages plus 20 more overflow before it gets dark. Would’ve been easier on everyone if they had made the start time at 8am, not only no one would ask for a rescue but also no one would’ve to worry about delivering at night. But shoutout to those who didn’t quit. 😂

I’m assuming because they have other packages to deliver and there is a timeframe as well. Time is important as well. They can’t just wait until someone comes and get there package. It be waiting there time.

@PinkAgaricus 11 месяцев назад

Yep on the other end of things one package came early and for the life of me the one that was supposed to come the following day, but was delayed for some reason on the way to the post office and came a day and a half late. Only one package from the Tuesday delivery came, I know because I was standing outside waiting for it, so it felt like they didn't arrive at the distribution warehouse (we have one) at the same time. So yea, as a person on the recipient side, can confirm it got worse after it was great.
