People always ask me why I'm not in the Rivian electric vehicle and today's vlog I will be answering that question. Although I think the step vans are still a lot of fun to drive compared to the Rivians.

@jyster18 11 месяцев назад

Im reapplying for a different DSP as my last delivery was sometime in august last year. The background checks kinda depend on your area. My new dsp that I'm going to told me that my county does their background checks pretty fast. But another county is backed up like 2 months. So I guess its dependent on the area you live.

@jgl8552 I agree, but just wait until you get a residential area or somewhere different you like delivering to; then tell your dispatch if you favor one area over another. It sucks that you can't choose your route/where you'll be, but it might help. At our DSP if you tell them you like routes in certain areas they can somehow adjust the way the Flex app works, so it selects the areas you work better in.
