    To be clear these certificates are NOT needed for any of the work you usually see him do. All of the normal amazon trucks and vans do not require this. Only if you work at an XL facility which has a completely pay system setup and everything. Good luck out there!

    • @PTRRanger951
      @PTRRanger951 Рік тому +1

      That what he said, the big trucks. He has a CDL, which needs the medical cert to stay valid. CDLs are not needed to drive regular trucks. But it’s harder to get a CDL that it is to lose it, so if you have it you want to keep it valid and not let the medical expire. It keeps his options open if he wants to drive semi or go to a different company or OTR.

    Chris I’ve been a package handler at FedEx for 3 years, i started at 18 and I’ve stuck around cuz it’s been convenient and I’m pretty good, job sucks tho. I got an offer to become a driver since I just turned 21 and I’ve really been considering. Only thing really stopping me is the idea of driving a big truck and the driving in general since I already don’t like to drive much. But I believe I can get used to it, I’m thinking I should take it but peak season is also coming up soon and winter so I would start off rough but I’m thinking if I can handle the worse during peak, I should be able to handle the rest. Idk if you have a take or advice for me?
    Btw ur videos are satisfying, especially your mentality towards the job.

      I honestly think you'll enjoy being a driver than a warehouse worker. you've experienced peak in the warehouse why not as a driver. I would do it if I were you. Else, see if any contractors have a driver helper position. That would be my next choice. best of luck 💯

    I really wish u would try UPS again (even blacklisted, they allow u back after few yrs). The no filming in warehouse might be a problem but as long as u aren't doing it on company time (stoppping/setting up) u probably could get vids from loading/unloading trailers. I do like the more relaxed feel of being a Amazon DSP driver but the pay is so low ($19 in my area).

    It's crazy to me that one of the largest company in the world Amazon... pays so poorly and offers virtually nothing to thier employees. I have been watching you since your original Amazon warehouse videos. I hope every video you upload that one day you wise up and get a cdl and start making some real money for delivery. Amazon is a dead end job. FedEx dead end job. If anything you should do ups. But I know you are banned for life. Also there are many cdl jobs that people vlog here on youtube with large amounts of followers. You can do better and should always strive for better. Never settle .

    Best advice for all you new medical card takers, lie about everything. Any health issues or any medical issues you’ve had in life, do not write them down. A standard medical card lasts two years and if they think you may be worrisome driving a vehicle commercially, they can give a card that only last months or a year. Or worst case scenario you may not be given a card at all.

      It's $49/hr at UPS after 4yrs IF you don't screw up or have any tiny issue/s whatsoever...and go ahead an pay all them union dues, entry costs, etc. All that wonderful stress in comparison to Amazon you can keep.
