Honestly, rural route Fedex Ground here. Busiest day was the Monday after Black Friday. 134 stops, 200 packages. Since then, typically around 100-120 stops. I'm usually at my first stop around 10am, and done by 4-4:30. Idk if I'm just lucky, but so far peak has been really mild.
I was an Amazon driver for a year and honestly man, I really liked it. I left because there was just no room for any growth in my DSP, got a job at USPS as a Rural Carrier (RCA), and I have no regrets leaving.
There’s not as much growth if you work in the FC’s either. Or even the prime centers. I know because I was a glutton for punishment and worked 3 peak seasons.
@@mkloven101 12 hours? Damn... hope the benefits are good because I've seen that US has a long history of failiing with workers' rights. Here in Brazil it will vary from company, but the Correios/SEDEX, is: 6 hours working per day (in Brazil, by law, you can only work maximum of 8 hours, 10 hours for interstate truck drivers) Receiving R$ 10 per hour , R$ 16 per hour for night and mixed shift, R$ 17 per extra hour worked Monthly bonus of R$ 340 Food ticket of R$ 1100 Healthcare insurance (although Brazil has a tottally free healthcare system) Daycare-bonus for mothers with kids till 7 years old of R$ 360 Public transportation ticket of R$ 113 Special bonus for familys with a special needed kid of R$ 570 Annual Bonus of 1% of the salary, the bonus increases with more years worked in the company 13th Salary (R$ 942) for people be able to celebrate their holidays FGTS - How much the company will have to pay in case they fire you 4380 Unemployment Insurance 30-days vacation every year In case of being fired, the company must warn with at least 15 days before The company can't force anyone to work in case of disease, passing of someone. R$ 1885 per month without bonnus R$ 2752 per month working at night shifts or mixed shifts without bonnus R$ 4380 per month is what a rookie driver can get in Correios/SEDEX with bonnus and without working night/mixed shift or extra-hour, which is over 260% more than the monthly minimum wage and 200% more than the national average monthly salary. The living of cost in Brazil can vary from R$ 4000 to R$ 6000 per month, also this is why a lot brazilians are emigrating to US, but the average monthly salary here is R$ 2309 per month.
I worked for DHL for a few months but I couldn't handle the pressure I caused for myself. I felt soo slow all the time even in my home town. Much much respect for all delivery drivers thanks for bringing everyone their packages 🔥
I work as an Amazon deliver driver in Simi Valley California and I worked both Saturday and Sunday after Black Friday and it was insane .. worked 11 hours both days and received a good 350 packages also. Crazy how much work they give us and expect us to finish early.
Fellow Amazon driver here… two weeks ago I did a double route 430 packages 80 stops but all commercial businesses and or high rise apartments so those routes are always way less stops vs all residential 😅 was on the road by 11:30am done by 8 pm and still did a small rescue of a co worker.. plus my boss gave me an extra $150 bonus for my courage & performance 😊 by the way this was in the new Rivian EDV! Roomy as a step van but more compact for tighter maneuvers! Makes the standard blue vans seem like driving a flintstones’ car 😂
Thanks for all your videos. I have an interview Tuesday and can’t wait. I’m so ready to leave my office job and enjoy my work. Your videos helped me make the jump.
Here in DFW, it''s regular to see between 400-500 packages for our step drivers. I'm in a rented Budget van and had 110 stops yesterday. Big routes lol
Working peak looks like so much fun. I hate that a delivery driver makes significantly less than what I need to afford my bills where I live, because I love driving around and there isn't much I'd enjoy more than having a job like this
Bro I’m currently a step van driver to and honestly I don’t think it’s worth it the pay is terrible and the size of the route be ridiculous. 201 stops and 500 plus packages in a day is not worth it. I’m studying to do my CDLs right now
My cousins friend did a step van for five years at Amazon and just got his Class A CDL last year. He says it's without question so much better. He works for a Concrete company and makes serious money being one of the only drivers certified to do oversized loads or whatever. CDL is the way to go.
Great Video! I delivered Sunday after Black Friday. 234 Stops(I don’t remember the locations number) and 348 Packages. It was a small compacted area over 3 neighboring neighborhoods. I was not on my normal route. Which normally can be frustrating, But it wasn’t bad at all. I still completed by 6pm. The highest package count to a single home was 12 boxes. I had 2 or 3 homes that had 11 packages. All in all, I expected to have a terrible day. But it wasn’t bad at all. I normally drive the CDV. And that what I drove that day, one of the cargo vans would’ve been terrible.
I feel you on the noisy van just hitting bumps, we used to have a old box van for the tools in the city i work for and I had to drive that sucker a lot, no ac in the summer, no radio, everything basically was broken on it besides the basics of it being able to drive. that thing was loud with the tools bouncing around in the back. going down rough roads at the speed limit sounded like we were entering orbit with everything shaking. but all in all it got the job done until the city retired it and sent to to auction and replaced it with a pick up.
Former FC worker here. January is the easy month. February sucks because of Valenhell, I mean Valentine’s Day. Spring shopping starts around the beginning of March and ends around early May. You get a couple weeks reprieve before people start shopping early for back to school. And Prime Day is almost as bad as Black Friday is.
I load for ups and I was driver helping for 4 hours a day. I was loading 450+ packages per day into the truck. we were running 250+ stops a day and while I was helping for those 4 hours we were running 40+ stops an hour. I think our fastest hour was 65 stops. We did have the top 5 most packages, and top 2 most stops in the store for a week straight. This is also a downtown area, so just drive a block and hit 3ish stops and keep rollin. Now we're back down to 300 packages. I no longer driver help but I am loading his truck. Since I'm not out there with him I'm not sure how many stops but I'd guess around 180+ stops. Our largest day was 295 stops with 556 packages. I couldn't physically fit all of them inside the truck because of large packages like the 8 3ft cubes of coats for a local charity and the 135 lb pool which was taller than me. Heckin rough time. Thank god the numbers are getting smaller. last week, Thursday we had 250 packages on the truck, but Friday we had 400. It's been rough. being a preloader and a driver helper gave me a 65+ hour week. First time I've worked that much a week, especially since I just graduated high school. I kept slipping on ice. Worst fall was down 5 steps.
Someone at my dsp did 808 packages one day two whole routes. Two days later he did 1,100 or so packages. 3 routes in one day !!! Started at 11:45 finished at 9:30 he’s super human
I had it made at my FedEx job. I would get like 100 stops max in my step van, getting paid salary and I would finish my route in like 4 hours. I know people who are in transit vans getting 100 stops with that contractor even during peak. BUT I work for Tesla now so it ain’t all that bad, I like my new job 😁 even tho I make a little less and work way more hours. I also heard max weight on packages for Amazon drivers is 50lbs, which is pretty awesome.. no dealing with big heavy boxes 👏🏼
That depends on where your station is and what fulfillment center the packages come from. The last FC I worked at we had the large items. We had everything from 60-90 inch tv’s to canoes.
Hi Chris. I've been a driver helper with UPS the last two peak seasons (it's what I'm doing currently, my second peak season being a driver helper). I just completed my background check to be an Amazon DSP based out of Carle Place NY (on Long Island). Hopefully I'll get my drug test done soon so I can start orientation and training. Your videos give great insight on what it's like to deliver with Amazon. Thanks for your help!!
Former amazon DA, I think most I delivered was about 220 stops 300+ packages , after that 180-190 was average , worked for them for a year but got tired of the biweekly pay 😴
Shoutout to the Amazon drivers who deliver my packages that only include 1 thing and the only stop in the neighborhood, you guys are awesome, same with UPS and fedEx
Been doing this almost two weeks now and it’s not bad at all I just hate how the routing system has you go in circles like you’ll be on one street think your done with it then be back at that street 2hrs later like why not make all your deliveries in that area then go to the next like stop 95 will be right in front of your face and stop 7 will be the next street that’s what pisses me off and eats up a bunch of my time another thing I dislike is I have to be at work at 9:15Am and clock in but I don’t leave the station until 10:10Am which is stupid I just wasted a whole hour doing nothing waiting just so I can load up my van which only takes 15mins and can be on my way to my route like that’s 1hr gone already then you’ll have like an 1hr drive to your location so that’s 2hr gone with only 8hrs to deliver like 126 stops when I’m supposed to have 10hrs to do so like why is everything so backwards I do love the job though especially when you get that paycheck that’s what makes you stay
Hey, I just wanted to say that I really enjoy watching your content, it has some kind of calming feel for me and it is really interesting to watch you work with that kind of a motivated and fun attitude. I can only imagine how hard this job can be, but you make it seem real easy, the videos are great!!!
YOU ARE ONE CRAZY DELIVERY DRIVER MAN I USED TO DO 140-160 STOPS AND THAT WAS MORE THAN ENOUGH FOR ME AND THAT WAS WITH A NORMAL SIZED MERCEDES SPRINTER YOU DO 200+ STOPS WITH A FREAKING TRUCK NOW I CHANGED TO DHL EXPRESS AND ONLY DO 15-40 STOPS A DAY WITH THE SAME PAY!
You have many stops and packages but they are all in the same area which is kinda small, here in Italy i used to work for tnt/fedex and man it was a nightmare, i had like 55 stops but in 11 cities and they were like 5 to 10 km from each other, i didnt know those places and had to use google maps but couldnt find most of the adresses...So having a system that tells you where the stop is and also tells you the right route is extremely helpful, here it doesnt work like that, you have to know the area which takes time and then organize everything by yourself which is stressful and a pain in the azz
In Delaware, we have routes with 700 packages per route with only 1/4 of it commercial. 50+ bags. 199 stops with half of them group stops. There is not one inch of the truck not full. No walkway no nothing. Crazy shit
They should limit what the vans can carry...like 10-15 totes.20-30 oversized at most. I had routes it took me forever to find packages because I could move in the back of the van. Literally had to pull boxes and totes out on a busy street to find 1 or 2 oversize or get to a tote I needed. Amazon also does not allow enough time to load a van or truck that's for sure. Im starting at a DSP tomorrow doing XL deliveries.
Yeah scanning packages in the dark is a bit of a pain, luckily my dsp has the zebra phones with built in barcode scanner so I can just use the laser to scan instead of relying on the camera.
I use a headlamp tool as I work in the dark every night. I started with that Duracell one, the 4 clicks to shut off drove me nuts. I got a diff one, one click on and off
I drive Class B (non-commercial) box trucks, and deliver pallets of cardboard boxes to local deliveries (not houses, but local customers to where I live that manufacture products, and such) I drove Class A combination and we have some Class A trucks, but I moved down to the Class B Non-CDL because to be honest I like getting up and moving around more, and handling the freight, with the lift-gate and such. Beats sitting 24/7. But it's summer time that for us is the longest when I am working all 12-14hr days. It's rough man. But in any job as you get any negativity aside, you like your job more.
Amazon van driver here in Pennsylvania. I signed up to take cycle zero shift which is 7am so I can get done before it get dark. On Mon and tue after Black Friday and cyber Monday I had 20 bags and 120 stops but every stop was more than one package. The highest I had was 30 bags but 2 stops was nearly 100 packages those where to college mail rooms
I’m in the ARG (Army Reserves) and I drive a step van. They had to measure the decibels on every step van on how loud it is inside. Apparently 115+ decibels will cause hearing loss. I’ve driven a step van for 2 years finish my full 190+ stops in 5-6 hours. I’m a closer dispatcher too so that’s sums up my life as an Amazon driver. I’m monday thru Thursday since 2 weekend of the month training in ARG
"No envelopes or small packages in the passenger seat"....ok amazon. Did it for 2 years. Kinda fun being on your own. Dont go too fast or u get a excellent driving pin and a rescue 24/7 pin all at the same time.
Seeing how this is a lot to other dispatches, the dispatch I use to work for would over work tf outta us, this would’ve been a normal day, (was delivering on the south side of Chicago)
bro i was at fedex when covid hit. that shit was like peak season all the time. everyone was ordering online. we was out and it was like a ghost town. we went from 120-150 avg to 170-200+.
Just saying but the bigger overflow...least for in the small/bigger van not the step van, if several of them arent far from one another...knocking those out first then going to the first stop gave me actual room in the van to work/separate. Unsure if the dsp I worked for noticed or if yours would be upset by it but no one called so hopefully whoever did dispatch that day could put 2+2 together and realize in real time. Feel like doing so actually saved time because of having the ability to move around in the back...even though...
I always brought my own lunch, but sometimes I got so into it that I didn't even eat the whole Stepvan route, I couldn't go back to this job now, I have a delivery job in a brand new 2023 car with self driving assists, cruise control and a wide open highway with 6 stops with much higher pay on the weekends.
I did the cargo van and only lasted 3 days before i started getting knee pain. for those wondering what he means by not much time at the warehouse, it means we have very little time to get in get loaded and get out, my delivery station was 20 minutes, 5 to get in and out and 10 to get loaded
Damn, I work at an Amazon sort center and I’ve always wondered what happens after packages leave our building. Massive respect to y’all delivery drivers 🫡
@@unbeso8858it's like big heavy packages the ones at Amazon that we deliver are max 50 but FedEx and ups do whatever weight sometimes up to 200 pounds it sucks
Wish I could be as enthusiastic for my job. It's not a terrible job but I'm burnt out and have nowhere else to go. Wish I was at least paid well enough to gain some ground financially while everything around me just gets more expensive.
@@LaosHouse I never had a honeymoon phase lol. I started during the holiday season. I'm just in awe of the things people can't be bothered to grab at the nearest dollar store or during their regular grocery shopping. Tortillas, razors, antacid tablets. Sheesh.
Unfortunately our dsp we only use the Mercedes cargo vans and when peak season started it was a mess in the back having to organize 20+ bags and sometimes getting 30 over flow and getting rushed to load up was stressful
I feel so bad for laughing but, it was legit funny af watching my amazon drive sprinting across my yard to make as many deliveries as possible for the $5 thing.
That’s only 1 person you just delivered for the day. At our warehouse 1 person is expected to pack 50 packages and hour in the small department your expected to pack 225 packages an hour and if your in smart pack you’re expected to pack 550 packages and hour
I help with the opposite of package delivery taking the recycling away to get reprocessed. our truck is a narrow access (small) one and it has to empty every 30 minutes.
I work in Surprise, Arizona and last year on holiday season i averaged 430 packages a shift. One day I had 510 packages. Thankfully Im always in a step van. This is an easy job but holiday season gets rough at times.
Dude holy sht I just did 148 packages as a first day amazon driver and I have no idea how u guys do 3,4 or 500 plus...please can u walk me through every step?..from the time u load up throughout. I feel like I'm missing so.ething.
a few rescues I went to go do...considered turning on a song rescue me related...would've been interesting walking up to grab someones packages an the look on their face
I did FedEx Express for 11 years. Each Christmas season i disliked Christmas more and more. You get hit with a weather delay or snow, your week was ruined. Working your day off was the only way to catch up.
Next time I am up in the gated community I'll remember to scan the address in the wrong spot for ya!.... Hehehehe..... And love the clients that leave goodies for us...
Hope everyone peak is going well. How many hours are you working? What's the most stops you had this year? complain below 😅
Salute to you man! Your hard work is much appreciated

You have many stops and packages but they are all in the same area which is kinda small, here in Italy i used to work for tnt/fedex and man it was a nightmare, i had like 55 stops but in 11 cities and they were like 5 to 10 km from each other, i didnt know those places and had to use google maps but couldnt find most of the adresses...So having a system that tells you where the stop is and also tells you the right route is extremely helpful, here it doesnt work like that, you have to know the area which takes time and then organize everything by yourself which is stressful and a pain in the azz
oh wow i dont know that italy is so far behind with technic
In Delaware, we have routes with 700 packages per route with only 1/4 of it commercial. 50+ bags. 199 stops with half of them group stops. There is not one inch of the truck not full. No walkway no nothing. Crazy shit
I used to do 120 stops but each stop was always 10 mins away.
I had what we called the country routes!
After watching it gave me ptsd. I don't miss this at all
Haha Never ever going back to this not even if I'm dying of hungry I'm never going to deliver for Amazon.
looking good mane, nice work
They should limit what the vans can carry...like 10-15 totes.20-30 oversized at most. I had routes it took me forever to find packages because I could move in the back of the van. Literally had to pull boxes and totes out on a busy street to find 1 or 2 oversize or get to a tote I needed. Amazon also does not allow enough time to load a van or truck that's for sure. Im starting at a DSP tomorrow doing XL deliveries.
Yeah scanning packages in the dark is a bit of a pain, luckily my dsp has the zebra phones with built in barcode scanner so I can just use the laser to scan instead of relying on the camera.
glad i dipped before peak
I use a headlamp tool as I work in the dark every night. I started with that Duracell one, the 4 clicks to shut off drove me nuts. I got a diff one, one click on and off
Back in July, I had two routes with over 700 packages from this station it was crazy.
I drive Class B (non-commercial) box trucks, and deliver pallets of cardboard boxes to local deliveries (not houses, but local customers to where I live that manufacture products, and such)
I drove Class A combination and we have some Class A trucks, but I moved down to the Class B Non-CDL because to be honest I like getting up and moving around more, and handling the freight, with the lift-gate and such. Beats sitting 24/7.
But it's summer time that for us is the longest when I am working all 12-14hr days. It's rough man. But in any job as you get any negativity aside, you like your job more.
Man, I’m glad it’s slowing down. I was consistently doing 27+ bags, 40+ overflow for WEEKS. My biggest route was 33 bags 38 overflow and it was HELL.
I just can't believe your van isn't full of overflow, I wish I could have a van that neat and organized lol
Lol. If you think a cargo van is crappy, try being a sub, using your own vehicle, had to do 4 loads from depot/day during peak.
Amazon van driver here in Pennsylvania. I signed up to take cycle zero shift which is 7am so I can get done before it get dark. On Mon and tue after Black Friday and cyber Monday I had 20 bags and 120 stops but every stop was more than one package. The highest I had was 30 bags but 2 stops was nearly 100 packages those where to college mail rooms
2:54 this sound is the normal experience of public transport on latino América
I’m in the ARG (Army Reserves) and I drive a step van. They had to measure the decibels on every step van on how loud it is inside. Apparently 115+ decibels will cause hearing loss. I’ve driven a step van for 2 years finish my full 190+ stops in 5-6 hours. I’m a closer dispatcher too so that’s sums up my life as an Amazon driver. I’m monday thru Thursday since 2 weekend of the month training in ARG
"No envelopes or small packages in the passenger seat"....ok amazon. Did it for 2 years. Kinda fun being on your own. Dont go too fast or u get a excellent driving pin and a rescue 24/7 pin all at the same time.
Seeing how this is a lot to other dispatches, the dispatch I use to work for would over work tf outta us, this would’ve been a normal day, (was delivering on the south side of Chicago)
bro i was at fedex when covid hit. that shit was like peak season all the time. everyone was ordering online. we was out and it was like a ghost town. we went from 120-150 avg to 170-200+.
Amazon we average 168-198+ stops you guys have less stops like that?
yea but at least you dont have to deal with heavy traffic. traffic is the worst and slows everything down
Yea u have that in the big trucks imagine how us in the actual vans feel when we get 30 bags 30 overflow 😂
Just saying but the bigger overflow...least for in the small/bigger van not the step van, if several of them arent far from one another...knocking those out first then going to the first stop gave me actual room in the van to work/separate. Unsure if the dsp I worked for noticed or if yours would be upset by it but no one called so hopefully whoever did dispatch that day could put 2+2 together and realize in real time. Feel like doing so actually saved time because of having the ability to move around in the back...even though...
I regularly have 180 stops with 400 or more packages. Thankfully I'm usually done in 5 hours. Peak season is crazy.
I always brought my own lunch, but sometimes I got so into it that I didn't even eat the whole Stepvan route, I couldn't go back to this job now, I have a delivery job in a brand new 2023 car with self driving assists, cruise control and a wide open highway with 6 stops with much higher pay on the weekends.
If they took away group stops it would help significantly
I did the cargo van and only lasted 3 days before i started getting knee pain. for those wondering what he means by not much time at the warehouse, it means we have very little time to get in get loaded and get out, my delivery station was 20 minutes, 5 to get in and out and 10 to get loaded
Damn, I work at an Amazon sort center and I’ve always wondered what happens after packages leave our building. Massive respect to y’all delivery drivers 🫡
This many stops is like a 6 hour day for me and 3 rescue runs adding in another 60 stops before I complete my day.
I’m considering doing Amazon again after the seasonal stuff I do with UPS , tired of delivering ICs at FedEx ground
If you experience in both, you'll know the right choice for you
What is ics fedex
@@unbeso8858it's like big heavy packages the ones at Amazon that we deliver are max 50 but FedEx and ups do whatever weight sometimes up to 200 pounds it sucks
Wish I could be as enthusiastic for my job. It's not a terrible job but I'm burnt out and have nowhere else to go. Wish I was at least paid well enough to gain some ground financially while everything around me just gets more expensive.
I guess I'm still in the honeymoon phase. I think we all get burnt out eventually
@@LaosHouse I never had a honeymoon phase lol. I started during the holiday season. I'm just in awe of the things people can't be bothered to grab at the nearest dollar store or during their regular grocery shopping. Tortillas, razors, antacid tablets. Sheesh.
I like how the guy just stood near the locker and didn’t move
Very interesting to see the POV of an amazon driver
Thats a normal day in san diego all year. We average 380 to 450 per DA , bulk routes do 600 to 1000 packages
Love the videos bro! Good job putting in that work
Thanks Aaron!
Unfortunately our dsp we only use the Mercedes cargo vans and when peak season started it was a mess in the back having to organize 20+ bags and sometimes getting 30 over flow and getting rushed to load up was stressful
Your truck ain’t even full “This is a lot” lol
No way. I go there all the time for work. Woodland park. 😂😂
Hated this job 😂is was getting 300 to 380 packages a day lol never will do that again
I’m surprised you have neatly packed. At my wear house they cramped big boxes and totes. No space for moving around.
❤thank you for your hard work!❤
I feel so bad for laughing but, it was legit funny af watching my amazon drive sprinting across my yard to make as many deliveries as possible for the $5 thing.
You are a wholesome guy
Delivered for Amazon when Covid started Feb. 2020
Most packages was like 420, 225-250 stops (counting the rescues)
bro, I had to load 25 bags in a Transit, as my station doesn't have step vans
Thank y’all Amazon drivers🙂
That’s only 1 person you just delivered for the day. At our warehouse 1 person is expected to pack 50 packages and hour in the small department your expected to pack 225 packages an hour and if your in smart pack you’re expected to pack 550 packages and hour
Laos house your freaking awesome man keep it up like your videos saludos hermano
thanks papi. will do
I help with the opposite of package delivery taking the recycling away to get reprocessed. our truck is a narrow access (small) one and it has to empty every 30 minutes.
I do deliver packages in Japan I drive those vans they’re smaller but it’s not for Amazon it’s Sagawa Express
Smh 160 stops 350 packages 📦 5 hr block that's a nursery route
That's a piece of 🎂
Jesus that thing you’re driving seems like some Swat riot van I really don’t know how you can work that! Props to you though buddy
Wtf in NJ I get 180 stops on the regular this some Bull Shit
I’ve done 38 bags and 90 overflow in a step van
I work in Surprise, Arizona and last year on holiday season i averaged 430 packages a shift. One day I had 510 packages. Thankfully Im always in a step van. This is an easy job but holiday season gets rough at times.
Dude holy sht I just did 148 packages as a first day amazon driver and I have no idea how u guys do 3,4 or 500 plus...please can u walk me through every step?..from the time u load up throughout. I feel like I'm missing so.ething.
Deff
Does it matter if the warehouse workers organized the bags or do they get all mixed up when driving around ?
Lol I had 180 stops, 335 locations and 402 packages. So glad I'm in a step Van and not the little transits.
being put in the transit during peak is a nightmare. Sometimes they put me in it because there is not enough step vans
I actually really miss this job. A lot of people hate which I get. But I enjoyed the hell out of it.
Had to quit for reasons unrelated to the job.
Wow, you're in my neighborhood.
Wait til ya have to rescue people.
a few rescues I went to go do...considered turning on a song rescue me related...would've been interesting walking up to grab someones packages an the look on their face
I did FedEx Express for 11 years. Each Christmas season i disliked Christmas more and more. You get hit with a weather delay or snow, your week was ruined. Working your day off was the only way to catch up.
Love your videos man, great content
appreciate it Danny
I am so glad I don’t work doing this anymore 😭😭
Job sucks lol 😅
I got 180-200 stops with 350 locations during holidays. 153 stops is a lighter route for me. I'm in a cdv van though not a step van
Why do so many houses have these weird doors with the bottom cut off and then a glass one in front? Is that like normal in the US?
Next time I am up in the gated community I'll remember to scan the address in the wrong spot for ya!.... Hehehehe..... And love the clients that leave goodies for us...
had like 10 houses with snacks!
