UPDATE Saturday June 18, 2022 was my last day as an Amazon Delivery Driver. I start as a USPS City Carrier Assistant on July 9, 2022. November 19, I changed crafts to a USPS Clerk.
If I'm not making UA-cam videos of action figure reviews, tech reviews, DJ tutorials, and other tech tutorials, I'm grinding on the daily as an Amazon Delivery Driver with a DSP or a delivery service partner (October 4, 2021 - June 18, 2022). This video is a day in the life of an Amazon Delivery Driver, also known as a delivery associate or a driver associate, and I will be showing you how I load up and organize the packages in my van, and for the most part the process of delivering the packages.

applied to a job with a DSP, this was helpful, thanks
Put totes n overflow in order at station if u have time sort your first tote at station
Ohhh wow!!!! I just got hired and have training the passed 2 days. The past 2 days have been insane with so much information to know!!!!!!!! I hope I can do it all!!!!!!
Thank you for sharing the video of your job be safe and have a good day 👍👍👍👍
You as well!
Great vid!
Seemed like a light load then saw "Nursery route level 2"
Thanks!
Thanks for watching and your support!
Interesting video
Nice to see u
I wished my old DSP gave print outs. I'm starting at a new one tomorrow and I'm hoping they give them out as well.
Im currently waiting on background to clear, enjoyed your video 👌
🙌
Enjoy. It’s not a bad job. Anyone says different has never worked hard in their life. This is my far the easiest most chill job ever had. Only stress you’ll get is during loading and traffic. Have fun with it. It’s not a forever job. There’s no real future in it. So use it for what it is.
Correct. USPS CCA job is much more challenging than this, but if you can put up all the CCA bullshit for 2 years, it's worth the conversion.
Bro was living that thug life unmarked MB with no shelves salute to you my guy that’s the rough life. I’m an Ops Mangr and my team has a good life mostly EDVs, mostly residential routes with under 110 stops, easy terrains for transiting, you was getting it reminded me of my sea deployment grind
110 stops no way Even NL1 here is 130 plus stops and 230 parcels, Amazon just increased their stops per hour to 21 meaning every route will have around +180 stops and 300 parcels on them
@@yamirifa All depends on your RGU, 85-160 our avg loads. Only our leads take loads over 135, our N1 are maybe 50 stops, we gave an area where the N1 was 26 stops out in the countryside. Now we're all residential 95% of the fleet is EDV. Mostly quiet nice residential, we let our leads do the rough shit with apts etc.
Thanks for sharing, very helpful. I start in a couple weeks. Are those gloves you are wearing also provided with the uniform?
Thank you and you're welcome! I found those gloves on Amazon lol
I'm coming in from having a background with FEDEX of 4 years after retiring from the Army. I start my first full day tomorrow. I'm a right-seat rider tomorrow then thursday I should be getting my Level 1 nursery route.
I’m doing my ride along tomorrow. I guess my DSP will have me ride shotgun for an hour and then we Chinese fire drill it and I start driving. It’s bad enough having cameras on ya let alone a second person watching my every move 😂
@@rundaveyrun well hopefully they do give you a ride along. However be prepared to be thrown to the wolves. Because even though I've delivered packages before with FEDEX I wasn't familiar with how the system works with AMAZON and I was expecting to ride along with someone but 1st day meeting up with my team I got assigned a route. But you'll be okay either way 1st take ya time figuring stuff out record and/or take mental notes for each day you work of how many stops/packages/locations and what time you get finished and work on your times to get better. Don't be like some people you see on some of these videos rushing the process because unlike with FEDEX paying you per day, you get paid hourly. But I can't speak on how many hours your DSP are slotted for and your hourly pay. It all depends on where you live. In some cities drivers are getting 15/hr. Where i work im getting 19/hr. Other places I've looked up are paying drivers upwards of between 20 and 35 an hour. I personally think that start out pay for everyone should be AT LEAST 22/hr.
Wow, I wish I had these types of routes. I'm a Flex driver.. for Cincinnati Ohio.. trust me when I say that there's broken stairs.. off center stairs, stairs that are like a foot tall... those are fun.. loose pit bulls, and people coming up to the car, trying to get a free package. I WISH my route was as FLAT as this! I don't suggest working in Cincy at all. It's dangerous, seedy, and honestly a health hazard from all the broken concreate and people who are sick and don't care. I still enjoy the job though. I dash and uber as well.
That was a great video bro. I go for my drug test tomorrow. I’m out of Frisco Texas. And yup that pink grapefruit ice is bomb
Hey thanks for watching! And yeah grapefruit, classic lemonade and strawberry lemonade still my go-to 3 lol
Hay bro how long does it take for them to get back to you after the drug test and physical?
It all depends on how fast the place processes all that. Every clinic or whatever is different.
Gotcha. Thank you my friend
Lowest to highest is how bags and overflow get delivered? Have you delivered at apartment complexes yet?
I have today and it was brutal 😅
Post more videos plz
Lmao they never once showed you the most frustrating part of the job
Apartment complexes,I’ve done flex on and off for years cuz this is a really simple job made hard.the app isn’t your friend ever,some apt complexes are completely different than others and sometimes one drop off being confused what to do,can cost you 30 minutes,it can be like that all day long and you end way later than your supposed to,this isn’t even flex but I struggle with 40 stops but shout out to this driver he’s working hard doing his job to the T but sadly he will never be appreciated for the works he puts in,that whole van is full 170 stops.dont let this vlog make you think this is how it is,this is not easy work at all and when your alone everything goes wrong,everytime I’ve done a flex route I always end up block upset and frustrated.ive never had one Amazon customer pick up there phone to assist with a drop off,they make it where they don’t let you reach the customer.houses are easy show us what you have to go through with complex’s and drop offs in downtown yall would never show that,shout out to that driver tho big respect!
Thanks for the TIPS are you at the Bermuda Location? Might be joining DLV7 but their location is very sketchy
Yeah I was at the Bermuda location in Henderson
Sweet video! I’m starting May 24th. Seeing that this video is 8 months old, how has your experience been driving for Amazon?
Actually I left at the end of June 2022 because I finally got the call USPS 😁
But I had no complaints about the job in general or even the DSP I worked for. The owner is really down to earth and took care of us, also helped that he has run businesses before.
@@Avionyx awe I just read the description of the video haha! Awesome my friend thank you for all you do. God bless you and have a great day! :)
Than you! You as well!
Wear did you purchase your gloves? I'm looking for a good one.
Do you still work there and thinking working there and from Cali.
Interesting- thanks for sharing. You still DJ?
Yeah like once or maybe twice on the weekends.
@@Avionyx bet, that's awesome. Keep rocking it 😎 bro
I got some couple questions about Amazon delivery driver 3:30
Re-upload. I remember watching this multiple times throughout the last year or two ago. Let me guess… music copyright from UA-cam?
Yup lol
9 totes and like 25 overflow is light. I’m out here getting 12 totes and 35+ overflow on top of a 45-50 min drive to my first stop and 15 multi stops it’s terrible. I would breeze through this!
its a level 2 nursery route thats why
How do you deal with the heat? The cargo space in my van gets so hot, and Sorting packages back there is unbearable.
Me I leave the side door open but I think to organize much as possible at load out
on my first day training 50 stop, they didnt send me on nursery route and my trainer told me why did they that and we finish early and do a rescue for nursery route 20 stop what worse is we take 15min break after 3 hours and we didnt take 30 min or 15 min again for 8hours work
You should make a note of that. Email them and get a lawyer. Unpaid breaks and lunches. Illegal
That is nothing compared to what we get. 😮💨 I just started working as an Amazon driver and our trucks are always so overloaded and stuffed. Today I delivered 299 packages, and it was 198 stops. Got to the warehouse at 8 am, finished my route around 5pm, had to rescue, after those 18 added stops it added a total of 317 packages. I had 23 totes and 37 overflow. I’m a 5” woman, I run most of my stops to finish in a timely manner. 😢 I’m just jealous that that’s all you guys get. I wish I had the amount you do. May I ask, do you places your packages on your passenger seat? We place a flat tote down on the passenger seat and place what’s in our tote on the seat and just keep it organized. It’ll say 722 well I keep the 720 envelopes in a pile and the 730s and the 740s in there own little piles and then I just place the boxes next to it. But that’s how I’m able to be a little faster. It’s cool seeing how other load and delivery!
At the time of the recording of this video, I was still in my first week so thats why I was in a white van with no shelves and not a lot of bags/pkgs. When I was doing regular routes in the regular vans and non-peak season, I would normally have anywhere from 18-24 bags and up to 45ish overflow.
Welcome to peak season. We're all feeling it lol. My route is a very rural area outside of my city. Every house is 5-10 mins away from each other, so if im getting 200 stops in a van, it's awful. It helps a lot having that route almost all the time, get to know the fuckin half mile-long driveways that you're able to turn around in, and ones you can't, especially if they're off a busy street. At first you might be afraid or discouraged driving into people's driveways, walking on their lawns, but after a while you kind of just have to, and you're doing your job, delivering their package. Once you have your own route that you do almost every day, you get to know the customers, I'd say 95% of the houses i go to are every day, if not every other day. And of course, sometimes you're going to have to do that awkward-ass 32-point turn around in someone's driveway.
Amazon uses algorithms and if you do well in a certain area and make all your deliveries, you’ll generally get the same routes. 160 to 180 is my general amount of stops. It’s being consistent in your method that you have to develop for yourself.
But yes. Rural routes are tough, especially with the 30 mph on many roads.
Props man
@@georgew1987 rural routes are easy, its the city and downtown ones that can suck hard, especially in my area
We you instructed to ring/knock or is that just your thing? I've seen a lot of other videos where they just drop and take the pic.
At this point at Amazon, it was up to the driver's discretion to knock/ring. When the pandemic was in full effect, they had everyone just drop and pic.
I got some couple questions about Amazon delivery driver
Bro. do you know where the Amazon is buying these colored delivery bags? Do you know also it's dimension size? Thanks.
No idea where they get them from, but they're about 3' x 3' x 3'
Great video. Would you say this job will help you get you in shape? I could lose 10lbs haha
Most definitely! I was 167 lbs when I started in October, 4 months later I was down to 150 just from this job alone lol
I live in vegas how can i apply to be a driver?
How are you recording? There no camera in your vehicle like the Prime vans
I was using 2 GoPros
Hi Avionyx ~ I thought you only need to scan the carts before you load them up into the van??? Then the packages when you get to your routes/destination...Also, does the app tells when to take your lunch?
Normally you only scan the carts and that's it, I'm not sure why he did that, I'm a driver too, and yes, the app let you know when to take your breaks, you can skipped the 15 minutes breaks, but the 30 minutes break you have to take it because the app won't let you continue with your route.
got cha! thank you @@qricardo
@@qricardo since when? ive done this job for like 2 years total and never had that happen
How many hours are you working? What if you ended early, are you going to wait until you reach 8 hrs?
10, if he finishes early he helps other drivers.
I got couple questions can you help me out please
I heard they give you phones specifically for the job. Is that true?
Yes, it's usually an Android device.
Do you follow your route or do you skip around need little help to move a bit faster
Usually follow the route to a T unless (for example) last 10 stops are next stop number 3 lol
when refuel. Do you use your own money or the company money?
Company credit card
@@Avionyx thank you.
Are you in Las Vegas?
Yup
Why scanned all the bags, the cart has the QR
At the time of filming this, Oct 2021, carts didn't have that QR code
How's its not distracted driving
Hah. You take a break? Thats cute.
I thought that too I’m sorting through my one 15 break
I just stop once, for 15 minutes, to eat my lunch that I brought with me.
Ez route and why are you ringing doorbells? You're not delivering pizza bro 😂
Every DSP is different lol
This contractor you driver 8 days before you can even get are vest no gloves no caps cheap as all out
Good video, i only have one thing to say. RAM Van sucks............
Only thing I like about the Promasters is the tighter turning radius lol
The rams are great especially the newer push start ones
How much you made $ in a day or weekly ?
Imma start here soon and the pay is 22 starting. So like 900 a week
Re-upload
Yessir, wassup Geo!
@@Avionyx you look like Shi Heng Yi
I had to Google who that was 🤣🤣🤣
Yo don't they have cameras built inside their vans
On Amazon's car: yes. Rental car normally don't.
Correct, Amazon branded vans have the windshield camera, the white vans don't because they are rentals.
not worth it.....
😂😂😂😂
Bruh still wearing masks?
Read the first line of the video description 😷
Nahhh don’t see anything about masks!!!!!!! Take off the face diaper!!!!!!!!
