Thanks for watching!
First time watching and I really enjoyed your video. Well done you.
keep up the good stuff ❤
nice video
6:48 the way you leant over to put your glasses away you could leant over and adjusted your mirror would have been quicker than walking around 😂
Nice vid! I'm just starting with an amazon DSP in the next week or so after doing flex for a year in my own car. The DSP offers 9 hour shifts, but is it possible to finish them earlier? What's the average amount of time you finish yours?
Joined Amazon after watching ur vids came off nursery routes today knew my balls dropped when I saw 175 stops 😂
You’ll get used to it mate 😂 prime day is coming soon and you’ll be at around 350+ parcels
Nice to see you back
Thank you!
Yes love your vids
Thank you! It’s been a while but I’m gonna get back on making them
The difference in the heavy steering in the Peugeot is that ford have an incredible way of making a big van like a transit drive like a car whereas Peugeot just make a van
We have Fiat Ducatos at work, and the updated version (Gen 8) feels more car-like to drive.
Yeah they are starting to faze out the bus like feel
So you enjoy this job then ?
I am thinking of starting in August.
I guess it helps if you know your area really well ?
I'm 51 been at amazon 4 years .I do 189 stops a day spread between 5 towns av 305 parcels. The jobs not worth the pay.we never see a bonus as dsp takes it all for van damages done by other drivers.plus all the protocol like notify off arrival and bow taking pictures for 3rd party packages is just causing concessions like mad.
hate being in a rental van we get them at Christmas so much faster in the amazon branded vans.
100% Amazon vans are better but I like the mystery of the plain white van so I don’t get associated with the bad rep Amazon drivers have 😅
I'm glad I'm not doing this job anymore. I was doing over 300 drops everyday. Dosent matter what vehicle you use. They always break. Am now retired. Boohoo
How many hours average do you finish by? Heard that if you constantly finish your routes early they deliberately give you more parcels next shift
Yep, the route is designed to be 9 hours and if you finish early, it triggers the algorithm to add more parcels to that route
What are you using to video whilst your driving? Ive drove them Peugeots there horrible to do deliveries in🤣
My company has 4 of these Peugeot Boxer vans, they are totally unreliable, noisy, slow, uncomfortable, rattly, cheap feeling bins.
2 of them have had new engines under warranty and haven't even cracked 70.000 miles, ad blue tank failures are common and the door mirrors are really weak.
They are actually a Fiat Ducato re badged as Citroën, Peugeot and Vauxhall and we all know what Fiat stands for dont we?😂😂
Good luck on your deliverys🤞
@Rohan very curious to know how other drivers manage over 130 stops never mind up to 180/190 stops
I’ve been delivering for amazon for around 8 months and still can barely manage 120 stops all the time
now wether that’s to do with the places I get sent such as the streets being far to tight for vans to go down and pretty much no parking anywhere that can’t be the main factor because other drivers manage it just fine people who have started after me are doing routes in and around the city I’m from which are like 170/190 stops every day
And I’m still getting sent to places like an hour away loosing delivering time always getting home like 10 o’clock at night only doing 120 stops going the same pace I see the drivers doing these massives routes and they always go home like 6pm everyday without fail
Curious to know how you or other people manage it now the only thing I can assume they are doing is doorstepping everyone and running now fair enough the routing order we get sent us stupid going down a street doing 1 side then coming back later to do the other side or houses right next to one’s you’ve already delivered to
Dunno what I’m doing wrong to be honest whether it’s because of who you go on your ride along with learning the pace they go might be affecting it I don’t know but it also doesn’t help that I keep getting Switches routes every single day so I can’t get use to 1 route and learn the route instead of being switched around everyday and not knowing where your going maybe thats the reason curious to know if anyone else has the same issue
@@jasonmadden9832 most drivers doorstep mate, knock the door and leave parcel which means they can do about 40-50 stops an hour and finish the route in half the allotted time. The routes also make a big difference as you can have a route with 180 stops which is all easy new build houses and you could have a route with 180 stops which is in the town centre with no parking, terraced houses etc I’ve done both and it’s night and day between them. If your dsp is constantly giving you the worst route just leave them and go to the next dsp
I just went on my first ride along today was 150 stops we was done by 5pm started at 10:30am. We went picked up 2 more rescue bags from another driver took us till 7:30pm. As far as the app taking you up 1 side then back down later. The driver I was with told me to look at the map and delivery parcels out of the suggested order if they are closer together. As like you said the app isn't doing it the most efficient way. I'm watching videos now for tips to help me be faster when I'm on my own on Friday.
@@yoyoyo3531 is your dsp making you rescue/support after for free? Dsp should be paying you an extra £1 per stop you rescue from another driver
@@MrRohanUK yeah you get paid extra for rescues, I've only just started so no clue if its £1 per drop. The guy I was doing ride alongs with said you typically get 160 drops per day. The fastest guy can be done by 3:30pm apparently. He never does rescues so maybe they aren't worth doing money wise 🤷♂️
Don't forget to piss in a bottle and leave it in the back of the van or throw it on the side of the road 👍
Good video! Lame question, but could you link the phone mount you use??
Of course! amzn.eu/d/01duyTwZ
