I’m a month in as a delivery driver and love it also. This was very refreshing to watch because most people complain about the job. Thank you for such a positive outlook 🙏🏾
Thank you , so much for watching I love the freedom of being out and just being by myself
Driver's that complain have valid criticism though these drivers get the most shit routes that include nothing but apartments and businesses with 350+ packages on a daily so there is valid criticism they have not just "complain"
@@thatonehispanic7982 yup I at least have 175 stops a day with at least 300 packages most of the time more and still get asked to do a rescue
@@marquiesbutler4277 same brother i get heated whenever i rescue someone who had less than 200 packages
@@marquiesbutler4277 can you deny t rescue?
Thank you for this video! And thank you for your little message of not being ashamed of your work. It was for me. Thanks!
And amen! Not everyone wants to be an entrepreneur so it’s definitely important to not be ashamed. We are all needed. Love it.
We all play a roll in this life , if you have bigger goals continue working everyday towards them but never be ashamed of what you do for a living
@@altagraciajordan363 Definitely needed to see this!🥰🥰
Thanks for giving that talk about not being shamed of what you do for a living. It was needed. Im subscribing.
I love it you are strong minded and it shows not many people last at this job cause they are lazy I’m a few weeks in I been off nursing routes and been getting 300 packages the last week now and people complain all you gotta do is take it one tote at a time
Thank you so much for this positive video been hearing so many negative things about this job but I’m in the process now waiting on my background check to come back I’m excited but a little nervous 😬 I’m a introvert I like to work alone and I like to stay active
Thank you so much for this video I have seen nothing but negative reviews about being a amazon delivery driver my interview is tomorrow to drive in Michigan. I work in a office environment now sitting at a cubicle all day and I’m just over board out my mind cramped with others around me I don’t mind moving around and delivering. I was beginning to get discouraged until I came across your video. I’m nervous but excited to start something new. Thank you for sharing 😊
2 months in. How do you like it?
thanks, for your vid, its helped me start positively with my new amazon delivery driver work !
It was cool to see what goes into getting packages delivered. You are so right, every job is needed.
Thank you ❤️
Yes I feel you it’s easy job I’m like you I like being by myself And the only part I hate about the job is delivering in the rain
Your video was so clear and concise ! I’m starting my training tomorrow ! Thank you !
Your welcome good luck 💫
Thanks for the video . I’m about to be a dsp driver soon . I start training this Sunday and Monday coming up
These kinds of videos are very interesting and valuable. I feel that way too often, the news media glorifies Amazon because their salaries for white-collar/software workers are insanely high but they neglect the folks in the warehouse as well as the drivers who break their backs making sure that things run smoothly. The reality is that not everyone is a corporate/tech worker and that blue-collar workers matter too. Thanks for sharing your experience.
I like being a delivery driver so I was thinking of trying this out. I hope I get a decent route lol. Thank you for sharing this!
I will start as a DSP driver in a week leaving a production line job in factory. Your videos gave me confidence since i am a little in doubt if Im going to like driving. But thanks to youtubers like you people can see what is like. Thank you and God Bless you!
I have my interview in a few days, how is it ??
Are you still there? I am going to apply
Thank you for sharing your videos. And having such a positive attitude. And thank you for your kind words to everyone regardless of who does what type job for a living never to be ashamed. Thank you for that.
Blessings to you.
I’ve always wondered what the process looks like because Amazon drivers be hustling lol. This was cool to watch! Great schedule also. 🙌🏽
Thanks babe we be on the move
Thank you as well(: fellow driver
You don't know how much your videos have helped and motivated me. I'm a 32 year old married woman who's spent the last 6 years working in the medical field. I got completely burnt out and made a switch to delivering for Amazon.
I can't lie, I've been feeling embarrassed to explain to my family what my new job is. I didn't feel like it is as impressive as what I did before. I still wonder if this will lead to anything long term. What will I do when I'm in my 40's and 50's? But your videos have helped motivate me and make me feel more comfortable with this new path I'm taking as well as balancing work and home life. Thanks for that!
Wow meme I don’t even have the words to express myself as to how I feel first of all I am so happy that my video has motivated you to feel more comfortable I to was in the health care field and after covid happen I had to take a leap of faith “faith over fear and change my career I love the work to life balance that amazon gives me I am able to be home with my family and work on other things outside of my job , ask yourself where do you want to go from here after being a driver theres many other opportunities in the warehouse and also with your branch I have now been promoted to team leader- dispatch so I know work in the office and lead my team! That’s something I’ll be talking about soon in a later video but I wish you all the best and live for the now if your taking the necessary steps day by day in your career to get you to a next level you will get there! Have a great weekend
Wow just started at AMzn. I 48. My story is almost the exact same as the both of you guys. Thanks for the video. I left my career of 24 yrs during Covid. (Forced out due to that thing) Most of family dont know and im embarrassed too. Good news, lost 10 lbs 2 weeks and my metabolism is on 110%- if i had all houses every day , i would love love this job
Better of working for USPS. Pension, benefits, overtime pay! Working with a DSP as a delivery associate is a dead end job. Use it as practice and experience for better companies like DHL, UPS and USPS.
Did my ride along yesterday. Going into my first day. Thanks for the positivity!
I like this vid, just started! Excited yet nervous only considering the fact that I’ve never driven a sprinter van 😬☺️
Great Job Love this video i will be starting with Amazon next week can't wait im so excited 💯💪🏿👌🏿
How amazing congratulations 🎉
Beautifully explained!! Thanks For Sharing.
Do you think you could make a video going more in-depth with the training process as well as the FICO information? I start training soon and I am nervous, but also excited because I love working by myself
I work PT for Australia Post (when I'm not caught up with army stuff) love seeing how different things are in different countries.
I like your calm demeanor 😘
I’ll be starting very soon! So excited and can’t wait. Plus, I love driving… So yeah, That’s a Plus! Lol!😂🤣🥰🥰🥰🥰
That’s so exciting this is one of my favorite seasons for delivery besides fall
@@altagraciajordan363 Thank you so much! And really? Oh wow, That’s wonderful to hear! That’s really good!😃🥰🥰 I like how you organized by the way!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
i love what you said about not being ashamed of what you do. definitely subscribed! may your dreams manifest in abundance!
Thank you! So much
I’ll be starting soon! Needed a job where I could work alone. I’ve read so much negativity surrounding this job so your video is such a relief!
i see tons of ppl cry about this job why idk there is some of us who just do the job and be done with the day us drivers make every ones day keep up the good work we just had a driver appreciation where im at in ohio
Totally agree , get it done and get home safe
Hi just wanted to say thank you!
I’m currently waiting to start my first day of training. I’m a bit nervous. I’m making the switch from 13+ years working fast food to delivery driver… I honestly came out here on UA-cam looking for approval and honestly I’m so thankful for coming across your video it was just the perfect video to end the day and made me more secure and comfortable for finally deciding to give the driver in me a chance for change… I honestly love the way you see this job and I’m honestly looking forward for my first day which should be coming up pretty soon… thank you! Thank you!!!
Hope you have a smooth transition into the delivery business
How do you like it? Do you get medical and dental?
I love your attitude about life. I just started for a job as a contractor delivering for Amazon. I think I am on week # 3 and I am feeling it. Now granted, I am 52 years old and have worked in an office for the last 8 years now so being physical will help me in the long run. Problem is, it is a long run. Yesterday, I had 190 stops and needed a rescue so I only did around 160. I feel bad about that but I push forward anyways. One thing I have noticed is most DA's are in the late 20's and early 30' so I imagine it is easier for them to run up to the houses. I can not run so I pace myself. The other thing I noticed is every single DA is always very happy. In a Twilight Zone sort of way. It is not creepy but noticeable. Do they know something about this job that I don't?
Anyways, thanks for the video. Keep up your great attitude!
Thank you so much it is physically demanding but you will definitely get use to it after a while your body starts adapting to the routine I wish you so much success in this mew career change
it’s all in your mind you allow yourself to feel old then that’s what you get and will reflect on how you do things. my uncle was 65 yrs old competing with people in their 20s on a 100 meter sprints and smokes them. he wasn’t athletic or works out but only had a mindset of i’m not letting anyone beat me. as far as the job goes find a pace that’s fast but won’t make you go home sore and the routine that you find efficient for you. you have these two on par and over time once you know the areas and have more experience it’s a cake walk. body will be sore the first weeks or months but that’s just a reaction to what it’s not used to be doing and after it recovers from it it’s normal. i’ve been delivering since 2014 to tell you the truth the routes now are really easy compared to when i started. back then when someone gets a route with less than 200 stops it was a light day going home about 3-4pm kind a day. training routes were 100-140 stops for the new drivers. now we get 130 stops and everyone starts crying. a lot of drivers think 130 is a lot because they are new there is only a handful of drivers that went through the same time period when i started and they are the once that won’t complain or cry about stops less than 200. most of the new drivers came in when amazon transition to DSP 2.0 which was about almost 2 yrs ago. when that happened amazon lowered volume of packages at least at our warehouse to get the new drivers trained but what this did was it gave them the mindset that these volume was the norm. when everything went up and running smooth drivers kind have a hang of it then amazon started easing the volume back to normal and the new drivers started feeling the difference because they used to the small routes that were just training routes.
@@russ1376 I have to say Russ, you are not wrong. I used to live by that exact mindset and to be totally honest with you, and myself, I forgot that line of thinking. Thanks for the comment. Lets see how things progress from here. Thank you, I needed that!
thanks for showing us your day of work
Thanks for watching
Nice video. Informative. I have some questions if you don't mind. I'm a former USPS Carrier but had to let-go the job because of short hours for the ARC position, and long distance to work. Anyway, I notice Amazon' delivery system basically mirrors USPS delivery system. But we load our truck quite differently.
We don't use totes for boxes. We load the boxes in, loose, as is. And mark numbers on them for a numerical order that lines up with the Stops on the Scanner. So, if a parcel/package is marked #1, that would also be Stop #1. For package; we put them in plastic trays or those USPS plastic containers.
For the boxes, we use the LIFO technique to load the boxes in the truck/van where the last numbers goes in first, and the first numbers goes in last: LIFO (Last In, First Out).
I notice in your video, you pulled the boxes/packages out of the totes and stuffed them on the shelves. So, my question....how you know which one is first? I saw you scan your tote bag but you didn't scan the barcode on the package/parcels.
With us, we pre-scan the barcode on every parcel/package at the station, no matter how many, so that all are in the system before we leave the station. Then switch to delivery on the Scanner that then shows Stop 1 (and so on), and the GSP map for driving direction.
So we have it all in order before we leave the station and no need to stop again and organize per totes like Amazon is doing. But back to my question....how do you know which package/parcel you looking for if all you scanned was the tote label??
Does it give a description of what the package is and you kinda look for it in the tote bag??
When you scan the totes all packages corresponding to that tote are already pre recorder for you via the system! , if you scan the tote it will tell you how many packages are in their and the stops
I remember my Amazon days, 190+ stops, 330+ packages, had to run literally every stop to be able to leave before 7pm
Were you paid for the 10 hours if you left early
I just started and it’s pretty cool
Thank you so much for your video 🤍 Love that your Dominican and your beautiful !
Thank you love
Enjoyed the video. I just completed my training and I start my first full day Tuesday. I use to be a delivery driver before so I understand the hustle, but I've had a 5 year gap between the physical aspects of doing the job. I think the biggest thing I'm nervous about is being able to fully understand and get my ability to navigate the Rabbit properly. But I know my body is gonna feel that gap in the physical aspects of the job being that it's been a while for me constantly jumping in and out the vehicles with packages.
I'm a delivery driver, for a lumber company. Similar to what you do just not as many stops.
Wish I could stack mine that way. But I'll have 20+ totes and so much overflow.. Sometimes I can't open my side door. Have to stack my totes 3 high to have room.
You’re doing great 👏🏽
Thank you
Get a cdl B and go to UPS if they want you to get a class A they will train you for free. Some UPS drivers make up to $40hr so make them work whenever you see one
She is gorgeous!
Worst job to deliver for overwork you & the pay doesn’t add up for the stress 180 stops over 300 packages @21.25 randomly take away bonuses sometimes come in & there’s to many workers & not enough routes they’ll send you home (location NJ) Also experiences will differ since it’s multiple DSP’s delivering for Amazon
I love the fact a female is doing this and not complaining but Just doing it❤
Thank you lovely
EXACTLY!
awesome video that’s good you enjoy it and i hope your DSP pays you well. i’ve been on the job since 2014 and still very much enjoy it. getting paid to work out and luckily i have a great DSP that pays very well and the best thing is i get paid for 10hrs even if i’m done early.
I have a Crush on a Amazon Driver .. Youre amazinggg
You interested in becoming a step van driver? No ac no radio but you get a 360 view camera which is nice
Thanks for sharing Love Your Energy and Positive Vibes Peace Goddess!!

Hey. Omg. You’re so inspiring. I’m a DSP also. Going on 5 months.
I
Love
My
Job
It didn’t start off easy. I cried, yelled, hit mad, got stuck …. Etc. I’m a pro now(lol) . I want to teach others how to load their van and deliver safe , yet fast. My company does not allow us to record and do social media stuff. Anyway, new subscriber here. I’m about to binge all of your videos. Love your personality. I’m in SC. Where are you, if you don’t mind my asking ?
Why don’t they allow you to record? Thanks so much for watching
@@altagraciajordan363 company policy. Blah blah blah. 😆
12:30 I do that too lol. Every time I drive by a big, beautiful house, I imagine it's mine. 😄😊
You are drop dead gorgeous ❤
Gotta always have a positive attitude when it comes to making money 💯.
People who complain shouldn't be kicking sand on a beach ⛱️ with me; but rather, rocks, alone 😂.
Keep grinding.
I've been an Amazon driver for 3 years I love my Job and I Love you ❤
NICE WORK. WHAT YOU WOULD DO WHEN NATURE CALLS?
Beautiful words ❤ I am transitioning from working 17 years in mental health to becoming a driver and I definitely don’t feel ashamed of it. Keep up the hard work and thank you for this content!! ❤❤
Thank you so much and good luck on your new journey
Hi there I hear you n feel you I'm trying bt it seems like it nt enuff..i will say i feel certain way a bit of we're i wrk at yhe moment fast food as a cashier im a ppls person it's jus of whme work with...
Hey good video. Do they have to interview? How was that process? Did they ask hard questions and how long did it last
I had the interview. About 20 minutes later they sent me and offer and a few things to sign. I'm not sure if that's the start of the backround check or that comes in a later email. I heard it takes 4/5 days and if it clears they want you to come in in two days to do orientation
It usually takes a couple of days to get your background check back and clear
I'm thinking about becoming a driver after I get out the military in 2024. Is it good pay? When do you get paid? How much?
Not complaing just keeping it real. It's more to it. I've had over 190 stops, 20 totes not counting overflow, in rain and triple digit heat. Plus seems like the app works against you
Nice video! how long have you been doing delivery? Im excited to start next week because ill be by myself all day.
That is exiting I have been delivering a little over a year!
Hopefully I get the job I’m tired of warehouses just had my interview today they said they’ll call
WaiI t until peak season those become 10hr day easy
i applied to deliver with amazon this morning……all i know is, if i see a dog i am running 😂🤣 good video btw
Thanks for the info
How heavy do some of the bigger packages get? I’m kinda small but I can lift a decent amount
I love this video! I’ll be starting soon and can’t wait. I’m leaving corporate America to do this. I’m tired of desks and dual screen monitors. How long have you been driving?
Congratulations on your new career I have been driving for a little over a year
So if I can't deliver all the packages in my shift, do I bring them back to the warehouse or do I automatically have to call for a rescue?
What kind of questions did they ask you during your interview? I'm thinking about becoming an Amazon delivery driver.
you got 150 stops and you’re chilling how queen??? i got 120 and i be getting rescued sometimes
I get 170
And I stay calm it’s all mental and action
I love personality Mama
I've dne Amazon Flex I'm on the waiting list debating if I want to sign up for Amazon...i knw it gud
How far is your drive from home to your Amazon warehouse? That’s my only holdup for becoming an delivery driver. It’s an hour & 15 minutes drive for me
Only 15 mins from me
What do u do when u need to go to the bathroom 🚽? Like a situation when ur a afraid to let a fart out. Or when u drink 2 much water ?
You get 2 , 15 minute brakes and 1 30 minute brake , stop at your nearest gas station or super market and do what you have to do
How often do you get heavy packages?
I Dallas all the drivers I know leave the door open in the summer
Tq for your info, i ask you every 200 till 300 package how money hours you finish sis tq
Are you able to use an aux cord in the vans to plug your phone up to the radio?
It has Bluetooth , and also a aux port
I am from India 🇮🇳 planning to come next year hopefully this job really fascinated me im excited to do it wish me good luck! What about the Sallary monthly or per hour they provide kindly please guide me Regards
40,000 + a year
How often do u have to attend meetings at Amazon? I'm gonna start working as a delivery driver real soon and I can't stand going to meetings lol.
Not often at all it depends on your dsp
Do they offer part time?
For the Amazon Delivery associate
Do they have box trucks for cdl drivers? Thinking of going to Amazon from performance foods so I can go to school
I know in certain cities they do
👏👏👏👏👏
Am in the pre hire of becoming a Amazon driver in Chicago $17.50 hr, I’m watching UA-cam videos leaning my job 😂😂
You and me both 😂
I was thinking about trying out this job, can you tell me how much time you get off when you get hired? If you planned taking a week off for 3 vacation visits in a year, is that possible?
You can request the time off , I’ve requested time off and got approved
@@altagraciajordan363 I'm curious how many days do they give you and how can you earn more? Since I'm planning on taking 3 1 week vacations next year.
They helped you with loading the truck, did they also help you deliver the packages too??
Lord i just apply to be a Dsp driver I hope i like it
why im glad i quit a cashier job to do this
I have interview tomorrow
Im a CNA at the moment and i work 16 hr shifts on weekends only. Im just burnt out with ppl and sickness and want to try something else. Kinda want to try this but I'm nervous about being able to keep up.
I was a cna before this as well , I have now been a delivery driver for over a year the best decision I’ve made for my family and mental
Health
@@altagraciajordan363 thank u !!! Im currently at work now feeling so inadequate. Im an extreme introvert and i get so wiped out emotionally as opposed to physically. Im applying tonight but will still keep a prn in case indont like it. Thank u so much.
So they ok with you leaving packages on the steps ?
I leave them by the steps because technically it is their front door , if they are inside and I Barricade their door they can’t come retrieve them
How do you sort your package and delivery fast?
I usually sort them by streets , my next stops take them out the bag and sort them by street
I just fear dog and mean people problems, have you had any yet and are you allowed to carry some kind of safety? Like pepper spray or a taser?
Yes you can carry pepper spray with you
get some airpod pros
