    I’ve done this for about a year and a half and my advice to you is the faster you go delivering a package the more packages they’ll give you, and believe me no one wants that

    • @vicrackingup2
      @vicrackingup2 Рік тому +13

      Yes! And then they are already at the point where they expect newbies to deliver massive quantities of packages. For the amount of work and all the other extra things they demand form you aside from delivering, the job should be at $30 per hour. That is honestly whats reasonable. Under $20? that’s if the route consisted of 5 bags and some over flow daily. That’s would actually lake the job enjoyable. If all you ever had to do was meet the 5 bags and some overflow quota on a daily.

      @@ApeGank everything is on the app that you use and the app makes it nearly impossible to deliver the wrong package which you'll see in training. Basically each package has a QR code that corresponds to the address that you're delivering at. You scan that QR code with your phone and if it's the wrong package it won't let you continue. Also each package has a 4 digit numbered sticker on it called the driver aid number and the app tells you which driver aid number you should be looking for when you're at a stop.

      He leaves the sliding door open. He doesn't turn the engine off. He leaves the key in the ignition. He buckled his seatbelt and is just sitting on top of it. It's because of drivers like him that DSP's keep on assigning 300-400 packages to drivers. A normal human who is walking briskly and follows all the rules can only do about 200 packages in a 10 hour shift.

      Trust me. You want to avoid this situation! Make sure you lock up every time you get out and put up the emergency brakes. Every single stop. That and cameras are everywhere. Including inside vans and outside peoples homes.
      Act like your always being watched on duty because people honestly don't have much better to do with themselves and probably _will_ watch you when you least suspect.
      As time goes on you can get away with shortcutting (scanning in the van instead of doorstep and leaving keys in & doors unlocked to save time) but early on it's best to do it by the book until the demand starts to increase too excessively. If you do leave the keys in do it in a white suburb or the boondocks where no one's around. Too much can go wrong doing that in cities.

    I’ve worked several delivery jobs and this video is essentially what every delivery driver wishes every day was really like. Unfortunately, it’s not realistic for things to go this smoothly every day. There will be days you’re delivering around confusing apartment complexes struggling to find an address, idiotic drivers slowing down your times, road blockades, trains, mean dogs, shit head kids talkin shit, rude customers, accidents and every other thing you could imagine and more. There will be days that are smooth sailing where you get in a flow state, days that are extremely challenging where you feel mentally unstable lol, and days that’ll be in between the 2. Amazon you’ll be doing way more frequent stops but much easier stops. I worked for an auto parts and re finishing delivery service and it was far less stops by way more physically demanding. You’d reliever extremely heavy totes and be forced to carry them often far distances. Have to go on search missions for certain individuals to have them sign off, have to stack them a certain way to appease the workers ect. And they’d often do it in a way where it felt like you were almost doing a portion of their job for them. Amazon pays better than most but you’re probably under stricter guidelines that most. It Varys for every person and place. If you’re able bodied and can drive a van you can easily get the job done though. Just wanted to point out that not all delivery’s and days will be sunshine and rainbows and can it will be challenging at times.

      Very true words i had a delivery job and my route was in sussex county, vernon, hamburg, frankling, sparta, stockholm and a few more, just 40-50 or 57 stops as max but each stop
      Was miles away from each other and moving heavy things 🥲

      You are right he has multiple infractions but I'm sure things changed after this video was made. Notice there isn't a camera in the windshield. My dsp has rental vehicles also and those do not have camerasin them. I'm guessing the driving behavior is less restricted when there is no camera and you only have to worry about Mentor app. I personally think that my 830-850 fico score takes away from my 30+ stop an hour capability but anything over 20 is good for me and time flies. Still can't take away from his hustle though and adherence to the customer notes. But yeah if I were allowed to do what he is doing I would definitely maintain a 35 stop an hour pace no problem.

It looks like a recipe for disaster. He's barely assessing his environment before going from one stop to the next. This video proves how inattentive these drivers are to their surroundings and the level of safety Amazon expects.

    Since no one else has mentioned it, this man did 30 stops in 34 minutes, to be fair he had all single house stops and like what, 3 double house stops? Still that’s insane, hella props to him, the best I’d done is 42 stops an hour that’s with a lot of single stops, I definitely want to try his way with separating boxes with bags in their own tote, I just lay them all in the seat next to me boxes hugging the door and in floorboard and bags in the seat layed out so i can see the names, definitely might try utilizing the sliding door too. And for the people complaining about the seat belt or stop signs, some dsp’s don’t hassle over the seatbelts considering you take it off and put it back on every minute, and California stops are pretty common, both saved him a small amount of time sure but it adds up over the course of that hour

    Couple things i noticed that may have have changed from the time this was recorded (or maybe because different areas and DSP’s work differently)… they require us to wear seatbelt at all times while the van is moving, also we have to turn the engine off at each stop (just a few more steps to every stop). There are cameras now in every van, making your movements a little more restricted (no touching your phone, no distractions, etc.). This guy seems pretty fit and has a lot of energy, but getting in and out of the van 300+ times a day can get old pretty quickly. Either way, kudos to guys like him for the effort they put in.

      You get the totes during load up. They're in numerical order and you put the totes 1 on top 2 on bottom and repeat that till they're all in. The sheet they give you also gives you numbers for the bigger packages so you can put them in order as well. The app tells you everything. You can even sort the totes too if you want based on the route stops.

    This is all wrong. First you can't touch your phone while your driving or you'll get an infraction. Your car has to be off or the app dings you as distracted driving. Your seat belt is not on, you have it locked in but with all the vans have cameras inside now, they see that and you get sent home for unsafe driving.
    Side door is open when you drive that's an infraction. Your leaving your car on at each stop, that's how you get your car stolen. You would be fired the first day if you did this in any other company. He's not fast he's just cutting corners and that's why amazon can't keep drivers.
