After a month working for Amazon I finally checked UA-cam for better ways to load... I tried this method yesterday with 20 bags and 23 overflow packages and had to double check that I actually loaded everything. Couldn't believe how such a few simple changes transformed the whole day. Thank you!!
But I don’t get bags with two packages that I can empty at loadout. Today I had 21 bags and 25 overflow. I had to stack the totes three high and not use he shelves. I’d like to see a video on how to pack that load.
@theTRUTHgroup he probably took a step van route. I use to work for a dsp and my dsp would give out routes from late or no show drivers. I once got a step van route but took a prime, same had 20 bags and 23 of
I just started my first week at Amazon DSP and I thought having 7 bags with 15 oversized boxes was alot. But this just amazes me on how much I have to learn.
@@ronaldraygun3591lmao j just got that yesterday i was literally ready to go home mid route im not gonna lie and its only oct!!!so now im here because the way i used to load was NOT it
Tried this load out today i had 175 stops. Got to my first stop around 12:45ish pm and got done at 6:33pm 17 totes with shit load of overflow. this method works really well big thumbs up
I am a Amazon driver & I had 17 bags so I decided to try this method. Let me tell you ! Not only did it give me so much more space with over 230 packages, I also finished load out way quicker than usual.
@@Jtzist sometimes, it just depends on how far ahead I am... I always take something to eat and a small ice chest for drinks.. Do you have the Chime app?
This was VERY helpful as a delivery driver I started using this method 3 months ago and has increased my productivity and organization big time..thank you!
Quit being a crybaby for the amount of experience amazon requires they pay better than most jobs across all cities. I do deliveries in a desert and the hardest/hottest part of the day is the 10 minute loadout at 10am. Would I take a raise? Of course, but honestly its already a livable wage. I do wish I had USPS/UPS hourly but I can't complain since again those companies are more strict with requirements/hiring
@@williamgunlock746 we’re NOT complaining. There should be a moral and ethical ground to treat employers and have a decent/reasonable working requirements. We’re not slaves or animals. You go in the mindset of ‘’macho” this and I’m manly that, but you failed to think about it long term and what this role does to your body and joint. Your reference of ‘whining’ is irrelevant, in a job that expect more of you and could careless for your well being. As the saying goes, you don’t work harder but you work smarter. Don’t fall for the trap of having to prove yourself through physical labor and assertion just to make quote and then hurt yourself in the long run. That isn’t smart. Also so your reply of they don’t “required “ much of experience because the DPS is a contractor of Amazon and they are also being lied to and exploited by Jeff Bezos. At any given time. Amazon could end their contract with the DPS business. The reason why it’s so easy to get this job in the first place because it’s a domino effect of exploitation what seem to be covered with the “easy money”. This job has no long terms qualifications and you’re stuck being a driver. If you want to move up ⬆️ , there isn’t a position for you. On top of that, there are wear and tears on your body of constant demands by the delivery algorithm. I’m not sure who you are trying to prove yourself to? By the end of the day you hurting yourself more than you gains (a temporary pay check). FYI 🎯 TARGET pay as much as your job does. Put that into perspective.
nope, never, amazon will never pay you what you deserve, and they give you 200% amount of a job, that a normal person can do, so you have to be 100% alerted concentrated and make 0 mistakes, otherwise you will never finish your route, so literally running from stop to STOP!!!
@@daneh977 I clock thru ADP website. They will say use the app but it's extremely slow. Once you clock in you will log into the rabbit into the mentor app to do your vehicle pre check, then log into the Amazon flex app to prepare to scan your bags and overflow at your station
@@daneh977 loading each day since I started has been different because it's never in the order according to LIFO but just adjust be open and keep a clear mind, and good luck on your first day.
My 3rd week. I had 16 bags. I thank you for this advice it worked. And I didnt have to go to the hospital lane either. I even scan the bags after loading too. It does save time. Now the warehouse has to get it together and put the bags in the true order.
@@LifeLoveBliss thats overrated too. If you have 4 carts to load I suggest putting all the overflow on the left shelf from front to back. Then put the totes on the right side from front to back. Leave a space to walk thru the van for access from the rear. After a few hours you can then grabs totes from the sliding door on the right side of the van. Works for me when I have close to 300 packages with a HEAVY overflow BIG BOXES.....
@@E.RHYMES obviously it depends on the type of van you're driving what your capacity will be. It's smart to organize ESPECIALLY when you don't have shelving in your van (not all DSPs do, and Amazon doesn't care if you have them or don't. They just want their shxt delivered properly)
This seems neat. Another way I’ve learned..Try with your first 3 bags on the first shelf behind the driver seat. Besides only those bags, Leave the rest of that shelf empty so you’ll have room to use it as a desk during your route to separate and organize the packages out of the bag you’re on. Then put the bags 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, underneath that shelf starting from front to back of van that way as you get done with each bag..you’re just pulling the next bags to the front. The rest of the bags…at the very end of the van you can stack bags 9, 10, 11 on top of each other…then on the other side of the van underneath the next shelf, put bags 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 etc. that top shelf on that side, start with your overflow and the first letters (A, B, C, D etc. should be closer to the front. The lower letters (E, G) should be at the back. Also group all the same letter boxes together. Put any extra overflow on the floor in the aisle the same order. Try and leave yourself room to walk back and forth though. That’s how you organize your shit. Good luck drivers!
Very intelligent! This is exactly how I do it except I'm in a rental van and the passenger seat and floor space in between the seats is where I unload each bag for easy access. Your post is golden!
I do 3,4 behind passenger seat and then 1,2 on top of them. Then 5,6,7,8,9. Then I do the next 6 on the other side. Which leaves both benches for overflow and organizing!
The extra bags situation literally happened to me last week, now im put on reset for finishing last. I wish I knew this method before but now thanks to this video I feel more confident when it comes to loading!❤😊
Im on my nursery route and the first day they gave me like 10 bags and like 10 overflows, it was overwhelming. The next couple days they were only giving me 3-4 bags, it'd just take me like 2.5 hours to deliver those so they'd send people to give me more bags.
I can double stack on the shelf though... Can fit 12 on the Dodge ram promaster shelf & 7 below the shelf Dunno about the Ford transit or Mercedes sprinter setups
Don’t use your racks unless you have a small amount of bags and overflow. I be having 334 packages, 20 bags and 40 overflow boxes. The best to load that, it’s with the bags stacked on top of one another from the two stools in the back, to the front. You can do three high for the back row if needed. And have the overflow boxes in the very back organized by zone. Starting with the last box being in the far left corner, to your first zone’s boxes being in the top right.
@JOSHWONDUDE yes. I learned that with the person I rode with on my first day and it’s still how I do it now unless it’s a light day and there’s enough room to use the shelves with ease
@JOSHWONDUDE sorry for being late, ion got my notifications on and nah bro. Don’t use your racks. I typically don’t put a rack down unless I’ve emptied the entirety of the space. To further clarify since I can’t send pics n’shit. Say for instance you have 14 bags. Your first row should have 5 bags. It’ll be 2 bags, then 2 bags beside it, and then your very bag at your side door. So at your first stop you can either go through your sliding door or go out of your van completely and open the side door and it’s right there. Then your 2 row behind those bags should typically have about 6 bags, stacked 2 high, and then your very row in the back where the stools are should have 3 bags. So that’s 5 bags in the first row, 6 bags in the middle row, and 3 bags in the last row in the back.
What this is doing is eliminating the time in which you’re looking for packages because your packages should either be in the back with the rest of your overflow or in one of your bags. Bro, I wish I could show you how fast I am. I’ve done this for 2 years. I be 100 stops ahead walking, 190 stops and 400 packages during peak season, starting at my first stop at 12 and being done by 4:30.
Speaking as an ex courier driver the key to a smooth delivery day is in the schedule arrangement, I did a quick map study (as it was before sat navs) and loading in the right order.
I had 15 bags just a few days ago, and basically I did exactly what she’s doing I loaded the bags first, the. I scanned the bags and then I worked on the oversized packages. I began working as a DSP only this August. I actually really like this job
@@MDF23NJ hey. I’m starting training this week. My boss told me to look forward to 250+ drops. I’m organized. We start at 1030 . What time would you say I’ll be finished? I’m a family man and I’d really appreciate your input, 🙏 thank you
Depends on how old the bags are. I'm a Sortation Associate, and a lot of the time, I have to actually unzip the bag to actually find a usable barcode inside to scan for Pick&Stage... or, to have to take the bag off the shelf and scan the outside barcode to virtually open the bag for Stow Readiness because the inside barcodes have been obliterated.
That's not entirely true. sometimes the bags are missing barcodes or the barcode are so mangled that the rabbit won't pick it up so you have to pull it of the rack to scan the code inside the bag,
@@blazineyezasian____ when you have 16 or fewer bags put them on the shelf but you have to empty 2 bags because only 14 bags fit on that side and you put the oversize ones on the opposite side, when you have more than 16 bags put one on top of the other starting from the back to the front and don't use the shelves and the oversize in the front, The way they show in the video the first part is fine, but when putting the oversize it was wrong because later you can't even walk inside the van to find your oversize or grab some other bag.
just started as a delivery driver and i’ll definitely try this out. getting done in 10 mins would be great, i’ll even have time to maybe organize my first tote or eat a quick snack/breakfast
Also, for me, best way I've found is all shelves up (except for the sort shelf behind the driver's seat. I load 18 bags (and I don't get any that have only 1-2 packages so it's actually 18) all along the drivers side wall, stacked 3 high, turned sideways. Then I have the entire left (passenger) side of the van for O.S. I'm still new so I've only done this a few times buts it's helped me finish much earlier and actually have room to move around.
@@onigiriworld if you finish early then you have to forcefully help out the slow drivers that are behind on their own routes by taking some of their boxes/ totes
I had 19 bags and 37 overflow. I don’t use shelves. Stack the bags at a 3 tier with the bags I need on top. With the overflow in the back organized by driver sequence
I drove a Mercedes extra large branded amazon van. way over 300 packages every day. the van was packed front to back ceiling to floor. 10 hours no stopping for anything, pee in a bottle. good times. her load out looks so easy
Yep, that's how it is here in Ohio. The Mercedes are just a shell and I have to strap my bags and overflow boxes slide. It's very hard to not get pissed with my ocd. Up to 20 bags and up to 40 overflow boxes. No shelves so I have to make shelves with empty bags
Don't they have cameras everywhere? How do you pee in a bottle without getting caught lol? What is the lunch/break policies? How much time? Can you eat in the van? Can you eat while driving?
I don’t have that much trust in sorters , to not check my packages/totes in order. It’s like they purposely throw packages in different totes, But to each it’s own .
Yes I agree with this. I had packages for the same stop in 3 different bags. Messed me all the way up. Or it shows to be an envelope but it’s actually a box it the whole address is not even printed at all. Annoying
It’s my second week and I love it. I hate rescuing and I keep telling them to take me off of nursing routes that I involve a rescue with late clock outs
This method or stacking three high with a bungie chord across two bags each on the top layer leaves 3/4 of the van open for oversized packages as well, empty your first bag and lay it flat on your passenger seat sort in stop order and put boxes anywhere they fit without blocking mirrors
My guy... this is nursery route in California (Fresno). Try 19 bags 57 over flow with only 15 mins to organize it all. That’s daily! Still like the video n appreciate videos like this.
I organized the totes in the same way and it didnt matter how to load the overflow because i wrote the numbers with a marker on the side of the packages to see them better when i need them when i had a regular van but i upgraded to a step van and now it is so much easier to find my packages and the overflow.
It’s strange that my DPS starts our routes at 12:30pm. After load out we Drive 30 miles to our routes. Sometimes it will be around 1:45 - 02:00pm before delivering the first package. It’s very difficult to get several totes full of packages to deliver because when it gets dark you can’t see plus it’s not safe. When the time falls back an hour I wonder what are we going to do.
Exactly. We start at 11a here, on road by 1130, and my route usually is 30 -35 minutes away. I’m not hitting my first stop until about 12-1230p. Delivering when it gets dark is also bs. Hard to see house #s
im dealing with this rn i get in at 10:30 and get to my first stop around noon with 180 stops and a forced 30 min break delivering in the dark is the bane of my existence i think delivering in the dark especially in rough neighborhoods warrants hazard pay
Our DSP made it so all u gotta do is scan the carts with the totes and scan the over flow cart. No more scanning l individually for overflow! Love it! Never had 18 totes yes. Prolly will during prime week
Our DS has been _flooded_ with OVs lately. In picking time, I'm regularly seeing routes that are like "7 bags + 23 OVs". And due to a rather strange glitch that won't allow me to tap "my cart is full" once I'm scanning OVs, I have to make sure the last bag ends up on a u-boat of its own and then pray that all the OVs will fit on a single u-boat... Still a more organized system than the post office.
You can put 12 bags on the top shelf (2 bags on top of each other) and 6 bags on the bottom of the shelf. You’re first two bags with be next to the sliding door. For the second shelf you put your small - large overflow and XL overflow will go on the bottom of the the shelf.
Just did my first week. I have no idea how any of you finish 150+ stops so efficiently. I work at a regular pace and get done around 9:00. Love the freedom but If they paid more it would make it worth the 0 practical experience and physical tole. wish me luck at my new job 😁
This is amazing iv never seen this b4 I work at amazon! For a start the drivers are usually pissed off with the volume they have so the first to last bag is usually thrown in the van followed by a kick then when finally loaded doors slammed shut usually on a parcel driver swears drives off unhappy with a face like thunder that's the real truth! And that's at one off the best stations in the world fact!
You just scroll down in your pickup itinerary and scan and load totes in reverse order. Doesn't matter if they are mixed up on rack if you scan the order your itinerary says.
You don't need to use the shelfs. I stack them on top of each other. Tote 1|3|5|7|9 Tote 2|4|6|8|10 All closest to the cockpit (I call it that lol) Overflow or oversize boxes Unmarked boxes on the left side Amazon boxes on the right All at the end of the van Easier and quick access No shelfs, for me it makes it 10× easier. But I guess I've seen everyone do it different.
@fyoutube10.24yeah, it can be done... I can cram 19 totes with the driver side shelf down. On that dodge pro master Double stack on the shelf and sideways yields 12 totes Vertical totes on the bottom 7 totes Forst few totes by the sliding door Then overflow with the passenger side shelf up and build walls
@@victorgilbert4687 that's me, I fucked up trying to load 15 bags with 48 monster oversized boxes, got moved to delayed loadout, asked my manager for a cube out, she said no gotta fit them in there somehow lol and somehow we did with the shelves still down and I went on my merry way LMAO learned my lesson to NEVER use the shelves if I get that much again
In a Ram Van, if you lay those totes down instead of standing them up, you can fit five totes on the shelf behind the driver seat and double stack them. You can stack 6 totes on the smaller shelf next to the sliding door that way. Out of those 19 totes, I would've only had 3 on the floor, and one of those would be folded after my first stop. So I would have way more floor space for overflow, and most routes have way more overflow than she had.
Yeah like, seriously how the F she even knows what bag is what?? All I can see is that they are different colours and she hasn’t got any app or device in her hand to scan/plan which will be I guess her “first in last out” order?🤔 I probably should have waited til the end to post this
@@jamiewalker8772 you should get a pick sheet from your dsp station that shows you all the tote numbers from 1st to last same with the oversize boxes, I just haul ass during load up at the warehouse then organize shit at the gas station or at my first stop.....by now you probably already know all this but for the love of god i can't stand when people scan shit after loading up......just scan everything while it's on the cart!
@@pubert23 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💀💀💀🌚👍 Outstanding sir 😅 Pishing maself here I never check my replies I pressed by mistake then saw this 🤣 Oh man, too funny 😆 Yeah… exactly that bro. Thanks for the effort and time you put in though that’s a legit human being. Hope you are doing good. Where you at?
Gonna be a long day . Mad respect wish we had such a simple system here in the denmark here we have to sort the route and loadzcan every parcel So if u have 200 parcel on that day it is 200 scans and sort everything in stops so u have to know your route by heart
Ha I have heard some stations don't do that but ours do a pretty consistent job of that. However, they don't stack the bags with the QR codes facing out and at some stations they are better at that.
LIFO yeah right 🤣 I check my pick list while loading because its never right. Not horribly disorganized but enough where you have to check to make sure your putting totes in the right place/order.
320-360 packages on consecutive days with 40 and 52 overflow and there’s no way I can use the shelves. I have to stack 3 containers high. In fact, I cubed out when I had 367 so my dispatcher delivered the 7 overflow boxes that didn’t fit. Craziness.. That was prime week. I hope it levels down a little for some relief.
Yes, that much overflow usually means you have to use another method to fit it all in, although you can use the shelves and still stack the bags three-high (two sideways on top) which uses less space than this method.
Looks like you need to get in a Step Van which you would have no problem loading all those packages in . I drive one in Goodyear AZ and it has 2 shelves on each side with plenty of space for oversize .
These kinds of videos are quite helpful. I do have to say this, however, this is actually 16 bags and only 8 or 9 overflow. Quite a reasonable amount to deal with.
Yeah that is definitely a problem, which is why you see her checking that each of her bags is secure as she loads them. When you have a lot of bags this method saves a lot of room in your van.
For me I always use the shelves if I can usually put the first two bags by the sliding door behind the passenger seat then put the rest of the bags up then organize over flow. I only cube (stacking 3 high) when I get 20 bags or more
Each driver is given a route. Within that route will be "zones" and the packages for that zone should be in the bag and then also overflow with it. Overflow is packages too big for the bags. Also those bags contain packages and all the envelopes.
This is different from what we do. We just scan the carts and our load pops up. All bags in the order they "should" go and all overflow in the order they "should" be delivered. Is there any significance to scanning the bags individually though? I feel like for us if I was to go back and scan each individual bag it would say that I have those bags or whatever on me.
It's not that bad, my DSP been on that type of time with 350 to 400 packages easy. Amazon is light work for me because I come from working for FedEx delivering about the same amount of packages except 90% of them were boxes and most over 75+ pounds. (I use to deliver to a military base a lot) But I feel like it all boils down to the DSP you work for and the work load based on the area you either live in or where your DSP delivers to. Since day one of working with my DSP I noticed that the energy online about driving for Amazon is like night and day compared to the energy around my DSP co-workers.
@@Lugs-d9t But I will say that the pay can still be increased for the work load everyones doing. Especially like for my DSP we are the last DSP to leave out and I don't get to my first stop usually until like 1:05 in the afternoon.
I use to do it that way till I started getting two carts full of oversize. When that happens I prefer to stack bags three high and not use shelves. Lastly a little jealous your drivers actually have a roof over their head when loading. At my station they have us loading in the elements with no cover getting peoples packages wet when it rains.
I had 122 cubic feet yesterday with lots of oversize. I prefer to use the shelves because as I get through the first few bags I can use the shelves to organize the packages better and get out the door more quickly. Our station is less than.a year old so they certainly have learned some lessons. We get lots of weather and I believe the awnings were a request of the local team.
Those are rookie numbers. I literally delivered 22 bags, 20 boxes in a ram 1500. The smallest one yet my dp thought it was brilliant to give a person with 10 bags the ram 2500 and another person with 11 bags in the biggest Ford amazon van. It is what it is though
@@ScUbAStEvESCOOBZ they over worked me I got yelled at for not delivering 2 packages but I was driving a van that the emergency lights didn’t work and almost got ran over by cars on a main street because it was so dark and no one could really see me. A phone “the rabbit” that kept dying I was given about 11 totes on one of the small vans I couldn’t fit anything I couldn’t even move anything around. I ended up going back to return the van at 9 PM that night mind you I started work at 8am it was a total nightmare. I resigned the next day! I was extremely tired and no energy for anything it’s just not my type of gig!
my thing is why amazon says put it a different way this saved her a bunch of space and a bunch of time and i bet her route will be easier and i bet she doesn’t have to unload the bags to find her stops much easier ill try this today because im working today lol
As a delivery driver for 6 months, this is all I gotta say; It’s really rare to get only 12 over flow packages. That’s super easy. I normally get around 17 totes and 30 over flow packages. And all the totes are completely full. 300 packages averagely.
Well, that is in an ideal world. I haven't been getting the peek sheet since about 3 or 4 weeks ago and not only that, the bags are NEVER in the order they told us they were supposed to be on the rack. Every day they are in different order.
Having to scan each crate and individual overflow package is crazy!!! All we have to do at my hub is scan barcode on the 2 or 3 carts that carry it all. I could never make load out time if I had to scan every item😳
I have this job & been working here for a year & two months it’s the worse & they overwork the hell out of you for $15 which the warehouse workers get the same which is crazy. You are in rain , sun , & cold you should be getting a little more . I would be leaving this awful job & going to dhl $21 an hour with way less packages & stops
At my job they make us punch out for 30 minutes regardless if we take that while we are working or not. So alot of people actually punch out at their last stop and drive back to amazon and then punch meal end when we get there. They have to do this or they cant finish the route during the day. Too many stops and we have a cut off time. Back by 8:45 or we get in trouble.
@@JolinHard Every shift. They should make it that you cant do stops or be driving back to the amazon station while you punched out. Until they do that amazon they will just fill what should be your break time with more deliveries. They can clearly track my vehicles movement with mentor and rabbit and they can see im driving while punched out working. Not right.
Just got bumped to $19.25 as a driver so I don’t mind the physicality of it. Still only doing like 140-180 stops a day and the snow hasn’t even started out here yet. Wish me luck.
lol I get 21.75 an hour in NYC and never get more than 40 stops although all of them are apartment buildings so that 1 stop can actually be 5-9 stops by definition just lumped together.
Yes, your DSP should provide something for you to help with heavy packages. Fortunately the heaviest package we deliver is 50 pounds but if you have a few of those you need a cart, especially if you have to go into an office or apartment building.
put some of the totes on the top on it’s side, and two totes can be placed on the bottom facing closest to the rear door. 19 full totes can fit on one side like this and while it’s a tight squeeze at the rear door, your side door is open and there’s still a whole side of the van left for oversized. If you don’t use the rear door, or have small oversized sometimes i’ll put totes later in my shift compacted back there and pull them out when I have room to place them comfortably up front.
Better yet, don't use the shelf behind the driver side and triple stack them. You can easily get 21 totes on just one side. I do this and use a few bungee cords to keep them from moving/falling over. That leaves the whole passenger side of the van for all you over-flow.
Amazon gives us 20 mins to load out so it is better to make sure you are organized and ready for the day than just throw it all in there. If you can do that in 6 mins that is awesome! At our station we all have to leave together so even if you load faster you still have to wait for everyone else.
Organize the bags is overrated! I only organized my first 4 bags that’s going out ! I put em by the house exit slide door like she do it n then just throw every other bags in the truck becuase I’ll be able to find em easy ! And she had it easy because she only had a little bit of oversized packages! I could do that in like 5 6 mins ! It’s the oversized packages that’s takes forever to put in the truck specially when you get like 20+ of em like I do all the times
Try loading 4 carts of product. 17 bags and a whole lot of big boxes. I put all the totes on one side and the boxes on the left side long shelf and underneath that shelf. The right side was all totes.....
This is the method I use in the dodge vans but I drive Ford Transits most of the time, and they're tall enough to where you can double stack your bags on the top shelf except for 2 spots where the lights are. So you can fit 12 bags on the top shelf and still have room for 7 more on the bottom.
I was about to quit today. When I drive like I want I can knockout deliveries like it's nothing but my Fico score was in the 500. The Fico app is beyond bs and make it seem like you are a terrible driver when you are driving normally but when you drive like a old man you get better scores but you don't finish a route
@@davidpalmisano5115 My score is at 850 now. I didn't know that you couldn't use the mentor app and the flex app on the game device so I kept getting phone manipulation, hard breaking, distracted driver because when I go to grab the phone off the mount it would think that I'm still driving.
After a month working for Amazon I finally checked UA-cam for better ways to load... I tried this method yesterday with 20 bags and 23 overflow packages and had to double check that I actually loaded everything. Couldn't believe how such a few simple changes transformed the whole day. Thank you!!
But I don’t get bags with two packages that I can empty at loadout. Today I had 21 bags and 25 overflow. I had to stack the totes three high and not use he shelves. I’d like to see a video on how to pack that load.

This was VERY helpful as a delivery driver I started using this method 3 months ago and has increased my productivity and organization big time..thank you!
She looks tired and it's only the beginning of the day. You all deserve a raise.
this is exploitation at its best
Quit being a crybaby for the amount of experience amazon requires they pay better than most jobs across all cities. I do deliveries in a desert and the hardest/hottest part of the day is the 10 minute loadout at 10am. Would I take a raise? Of course, but honestly its already a livable wage. I do wish I had USPS/UPS hourly but I can't complain since again those companies are more strict with requirements/hiring
@@williamgunlock746 we’re NOT complaining. There should be a moral and ethical ground to treat employers and have a decent/reasonable working requirements. We’re not slaves or animals. You go in the mindset of ‘’macho” this and I’m manly that, but you failed to think about it long term and what this role does to your body and joint. Your reference of ‘whining’ is irrelevant, in a job that expect more of you and could careless for your well being. As the saying goes, you don’t work harder but you work smarter. Don’t fall for the trap of having to prove yourself through physical labor and assertion just to make quote and then hurt yourself in the long run. That isn’t smart. Also so your reply of they don’t “required “ much of experience because the DPS is a contractor of Amazon and they are also being lied to and exploited by Jeff Bezos. At any given time. Amazon could end their contract with the DPS business. The reason why it’s so easy to get this job in the first place because it’s a domino effect of exploitation what seem to be covered with the “easy money”. This job has no long terms qualifications and you’re stuck being a driver. If you want to move up ⬆️ , there isn’t a position for you. On top of that, there are wear and tears on your body of constant demands by the delivery algorithm. I’m not sure who you are trying to prove yourself to? By the end of the day you hurting yourself more than you gains (a temporary pay check). FYI 🎯 TARGET pay as much as your job does. Put that into perspective.
nope, never, amazon will never pay you what you deserve, and they give you 200% amount of a job, that a normal person can do, so you have to be 100% alerted concentrated and make 0 mistakes, otherwise you will never finish your route, so literally running from stop to STOP!!!
@@baymaxred4632 exactly 21 century slavery !!!
Today was my first day delivering, I had a nursery route but seeing this I will use this method to load up tomorrow thanks for sharing
How was loading it that method? I start tomorrow. When you clock in, do you clock in on the rabbit?
@@daneh977 I clock thru ADP website. They will say use the app but it's extremely slow. Once you clock in you will log into the rabbit into the mentor app to do your vehicle pre check, then log into the Amazon flex app to prepare to scan your bags and overflow at your station
@@daneh977 loading each day since I started has been different because it's never in the order according to LIFO but just adjust be open and keep a clear mind, and good luck on your first day.
This way is sooooooo complicated and confusing.
I'll use the way she puts her bags from now on! What city are you guys in?
I use to work for Amazon as a driver !!!dont miss it one bit !!!
My 3rd week. I had 16 bags. I thank you for this advice it worked. And I didnt have to go to the hospital lane either.
I even scan the bags after loading too. It does save time. Now the warehouse has to get it together and put the bags in the true order.
What's the hospital lane...lol.
I believe it’s for when you’re taking too long to load and the other vans need to leave, so they have you go to that lane to finish loading
This is absolutely perfect, we need more examples like this one , my first day is Monday ! No Fear!!
Don’t follow her! You’ll be stuck wasting time and getting annoyed. Learn the LIFO method.
@@LifeLoveBliss thats overrated too. If you have 4 carts to load I suggest putting all the overflow on the left shelf from front to back. Then put the totes on the right side from front to back. Leave a space to walk thru the van for access from the rear. After a few hours you can then grabs totes from the sliding door on the right side of the van. Works for me when I have close to 300 packages with a HEAVY overflow BIG BOXES.....
@@E.RHYMES obviously it depends on the type of van you're driving what your capacity will be. It's smart to organize ESPECIALLY when you don't have shelving in your van (not all DSPs do, and Amazon doesn't care if you have them or don't. They just want their shxt delivered properly)
@@LifeLoveBliss true most of our vans have shelves....
@@E.RHYMES lucky 😂
This seems neat. Another way I’ve learned..Try with your first 3 bags on the first shelf behind the driver seat. Besides only those bags, Leave the rest of that shelf empty so you’ll have room to use it as a desk during your route to separate and organize the packages out of the bag you’re on. Then put the bags 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, underneath that shelf starting from front to back of van that way as you get done with each bag..you’re just pulling the next bags to the front. The rest of the bags…at the very end of the van you can stack bags 9, 10, 11 on top of each other…then on the other side of the van underneath the next shelf, put bags 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 etc. that top shelf on that side, start with your overflow and the first letters (A, B, C, D etc. should be closer to the front. The lower letters (E, G) should be at the back. Also group all the same letter boxes together. Put any extra overflow on the floor in the aisle the same order. Try and leave yourself room to walk back and forth though. That’s how you organize your shit. Good luck drivers!
Very intelligent! This is exactly how I do it except I'm in a rental van and the passenger seat and floor space in between the seats is where I unload each bag for easy access. Your post is golden!
I do 3,4 behind passenger seat and then 1,2 on top of them. Then 5,6,7,8,9. Then I do the next 6 on the other side. Which leaves both benches for overflow and organizing!
The extra bags situation literally happened to me last week, now im put on reset for finishing last. I wish I knew this method before but now thanks to this video I feel more confident when it comes to loading!❤😊
I’m on nursery route and get 7-8 bags and like 9 overloads . But when they give me more I’ll be prepared. Thanks for the video !
I start my nursery route tomorrow nervous and excited at the same time
Tavion Thomas He bro you got this just remember to drink LOTS of water. The sun ain’t no joke!
Tavion Thomas how did it go?
DripzV it was cool only like 70 stops they giving me 150 stops now
Im on my nursery route and the first day they gave me like 10 bags and like 10 overflows, it was overwhelming. The next couple days they were only giving me 3-4 bags, it'd just take me like 2.5 hours to deliver those so they'd send people to give me more bags.
I just started a week ago and have had 300 packages. I did this with 12 totes. 18-28 packages in each one and 30 overflow. It helped tons.
Never thought about upright bags they should definitely be teaching this
I can double stack on the shelf though... Can fit 12 on the Dodge ram promaster shelf & 7 below the shelf
Dunno about the Ford transit or Mercedes sprinter setups
I quit 4 months after this worst company iv ever worked for I makes you 10x a trip what they pay me Amazon can suck a dick
Don’t use your racks unless you have a small amount of bags and overflow. I be having 334 packages, 20 bags and 40 overflow boxes. The best to load that, it’s with the bags stacked on top of one another from the two stools in the back, to the front. You can do three high for the back row if needed. And have the overflow boxes in the very back organized by zone. Starting with the last box being in the far left corner, to your first zone’s boxes being in the top right.
Yes I just learned this method yesterday and holy shit did it save me time and a load off my back
So happy someone else said what I was thinking. I'm like not using them shelves with over 20 bags
@JOSHWONDUDE yes. I learned that with the person I rode with on my first day and it’s still how I do it now unless it’s a light day and there’s enough room to use the shelves with ease
@JOSHWONDUDE sorry for being late, ion got my notifications on and nah bro. Don’t use your racks. I typically don’t put a rack down unless I’ve emptied the entirety of the space.
To further clarify since I can’t send pics n’shit. Say for instance you have 14 bags. Your first row should have 5 bags. It’ll be 2 bags, then 2 bags beside it, and then your very bag at your side door. So at your first stop you can either go through your sliding door or go out of your van completely and open the side door and it’s right there. Then your 2 row behind those bags should typically have about 6 bags, stacked 2 high, and then your very row in the back where the stools are should have 3 bags. So that’s 5 bags in the first row, 6 bags in the middle row, and 3 bags in the last row in the back.
What this is doing is eliminating the time in which you’re looking for packages because your packages should either be in the back with the rest of your overflow or in one of your bags. Bro, I wish I could show you how fast I am. I’ve done this for 2 years. I be 100 stops ahead walking, 190 stops and 400 packages during peak season, starting at my first stop at 12 and being done by 4:30.
Speaking as an ex courier driver the key to a smooth delivery day is in the schedule arrangement, I did a quick map study (as it was before sat navs) and loading in the right order.
I had 15 bags just a few days ago, and basically I did exactly what she’s doing I loaded the bags first, the. I scanned the bags and then I worked on the oversized packages. I began working as a DSP only this August. I actually really like this job
I left the job after 6months. I enjoyed it but my DSP was a real pain. I drove different vans but most times I was in the Ford transit

Depends on how old the bags are. I'm a Sortation Associate, and a lot of the time, I have to actually unzip the bag to actually find a usable barcode inside to scan for Pick&Stage... or, to have to take the bag off the shelf and scan the outside barcode to virtually open the bag for Stow Readiness because the inside barcodes have been obliterated.
That's not entirely true. sometimes the bags are missing barcodes or the barcode are so mangled that the rabbit won't pick it up so you have to pull it of the rack to scan the code inside the bag,
Same
@@blazineyezasian____ when you have 16 or fewer bags put them on the shelf but you have to empty 2 bags because only 14 bags fit on that side and you put the oversize ones on the opposite side, when you have more than 16 bags put one on top of the other starting from the back to the front and don't use the shelves and the oversize in the front, The way they show in the video the first part is fine, but when putting the oversize it was wrong because later you can't even walk inside the van to find your oversize or grab some other bag.
just started as a delivery driver and i’ll definitely try this out. getting done in 10 mins would be great, i’ll even have time to maybe organize my first tote or eat a quick snack/breakfast
Also, for me, best way I've found is all shelves up (except for the sort shelf behind the driver's seat.
I load 18 bags (and I don't get any that have only 1-2 packages so it's actually 18) all along the drivers side wall, stacked 3 high, turned sideways. Then I have the entire left (passenger) side of the van for O.S.
I'm still new so I've only done this a few times buts it's helped me finish much earlier and actually have room to move around.
It's all about finding your own system & do what works for you. I completely relate to this video.
The precision was beautiful
That baby route. Let me see her load 23-25 bags and 30-40 overflow. Stack three high mid back to front and stack overflow in the back back.

I had 19 bags and 37 overflow. I don’t use shelves. Stack the bags at a 3 tier with the bags I need on top. With the overflow in the back organized by driver sequence
That’s rookie lol I had 26 bags 30 overflow on a ford transit no where to move lol

I drove a Mercedes extra large branded amazon van. way over 300 packages every day. the van was packed front to back ceiling to floor. 10 hours no stopping for anything, pee in a bottle. good times. her load out looks so easy
Yep, that's how it is here in Ohio. The Mercedes are just a shell and I have to strap my bags and overflow boxes slide. It's very hard to not get pissed with my ocd. Up to 20 bags and up to 40 overflow boxes. No shelves so I have to make shelves with empty bags
Don't they have cameras everywhere? How do you pee in a bottle without getting caught lol?
What is the lunch/break policies? How much time? Can you eat in the van? Can you eat while driving?
I don’t have that much trust in sorters , to not check my packages/totes in order. It’s like they purposely throw packages in different totes, But to each it’s own .
I feel the same way because it happens too often!
Wow I thought my station was the only one that didn’t have the totes in the proper order. What the fuck is the point of LIFO then? 😂
Yes I agree with this. I had packages for the same stop in 3 different bags. Messed me all the way up. Or it shows to be an envelope but it’s actually a box it the whole address is not even printed at all. Annoying
@@monsterTrejox you not supposed to follow the class instructions 😂😂😂
So do you check for each package first ? all 200 of them and make sure its in it’s corresponding bag?
It’s my second week and I love it. I hate rescuing and I keep telling them to take me off of nursing routes that I involve a rescue with late clock outs
This method or stacking three high with a bungie chord across two bags each on the top layer leaves 3/4 of the van open for oversized packages as well, empty your first bag and lay it flat on your passenger seat sort in stop order and put boxes anywhere they fit without blocking mirrors
My guy... this is nursery route in California (Fresno). Try 19 bags 57 over flow with only 15 mins to organize it all. That’s daily! Still like the video n appreciate videos like this.
They pay us great to just drive place to place. SOO MUCH BETTER than actually working in the warehouse where you stand your entire shift.
I organized the totes in the same way and it didnt matter how to load the overflow because i wrote the numbers with a marker on the side of the packages to see them better when i need them when i had a regular van but i upgraded to a step van and now it is so much easier to find my packages and the overflow.
Why am I here. I don’t even work for Amazon.
Lmao. 😂
in case you want a delivery job lol
Well, you can still deliver stuff for Amazon without actually working for there. I suggest you check Amazon Flex.

It’s strange that my DPS starts our routes at 12:30pm. After load out we Drive 30 miles to our routes. Sometimes it will be around 1:45 - 02:00pm before delivering the first package. It’s very difficult to get several totes full of packages to deliver because when it gets dark you can’t see plus it’s not safe. When the time falls back an hour I wonder what are we going to do.
We start at 8:30am and our first stop is around 10:00am-10:30am
I have the same problem
They tryna kill yall. Apply through a different company
Exactly. We start at 11a here, on road by 1130, and my route usually is 30 -35 minutes away. I’m not hitting my first stop until about 12-1230p. Delivering when it gets dark is also bs. Hard to see house #s
im dealing with this rn i get in at 10:30 and get to my first stop around noon with 180 stops and a forced 30 min break delivering in the dark is the bane of my existence i think delivering in the dark especially in rough neighborhoods warrants hazard pay
Thank you for showing how you arrange your bags. Will test it out on my next shift.
Our DSP made it so all u gotta do is scan the carts with the totes and scan the over flow cart. No more scanning l individually for overflow! Love it! Never had 18 totes yes. Prolly will during prime week
that option hit our station about 2 weeks ago...MAN! It's really helped speed things up, that's for sure! 🙂
19 bags, yet barely any overflow. Ive had 24 bags, and a cart and a half of over flow. Amazon over works there workers!
Yeah some days have more oversized packages than others. Wait until Peak season!
@@rtj2397 Yeah you are right about that.
One day I had 20 bags and 27 over-sized. And I wasn't in a Prime van.
Our DS has been _flooded_ with OVs lately. In picking time, I'm regularly seeing routes that are like "7 bags + 23 OVs". And due to a rather strange glitch that won't allow me to tap "my cart is full" once I'm scanning OVs, I have to make sure the last bag ends up on a u-boat of its own and then pray that all the OVs will fit on a single u-boat...
Still a more organized system than the post office.
@@PeakDeliveryDriver whats peak season i just started had 108 packages and took me all day to do idk how to move faster
Great job! Try 5 racks in 10 minutes... oh boy it's so much fun! I learned from this video on your setup thanks!
You can put 12 bags on the top shelf (2 bags on top of each other) and 6 bags on the bottom of the shelf. You’re first two bags with be next to the sliding door. For the second shelf you put your small - large overflow and XL overflow will go on the bottom of the the shelf.
Just did my first week. I have no idea how any of you finish 150+ stops so efficiently. I work at a regular pace and get done around 9:00. Love the freedom but If they paid more it would make it worth the 0 practical experience and physical tole. wish me luck at my new job 😁
This is amazing iv never seen this b4 I work at amazon! For a start the drivers are usually pissed off with the volume they have so the first to last bag is usually thrown in the van followed by a kick then when finally loaded doors slammed shut usually on a parcel driver swears drives off unhappy with a face like thunder that's the real truth! And that's at one off the best stations in the world fact!

Unmarked boxes on the left side
Amazon boxes on the right
All at the end of the van
Easier and quick access
No shelfs, for me it makes it 10× easier. But I guess I've seen everyone do it different.
That's smart, actually to not use the shelves but I can imagine that takes quite a toll on your back at the end of the day though.
I had 20 bags & 29 overflow the other day. That was about four carts to load up.
@fyoutube10.24yeah, it can be done... I can cram 19 totes with the driver side shelf down. On that dodge pro master
Double stack on the shelf and sideways yields 12 totes
Vertical totes on the bottom 7 totes

Then overflow with the passenger side shelf up and build walls

In a Ram Van, if you lay those totes down instead of standing them up, you can fit five totes on the shelf behind the driver seat and double stack them. You can stack 6 totes on the smaller shelf next to the sliding door that way. Out of those 19 totes, I would've only had 3 on the floor, and one of those would be folded after my first stop. So I would have way more floor space for overflow, and most routes have way more overflow than she had.
I could never trust the warehouse people to have them in order like that 😂

Mad respect wish we had such a simple system here in the denmark here we have to sort the route and loadzcan every parcel
So if u have 200 parcel on that day it is 200 scans and sort everything in stops so u have to know your route by heart
I have a hard time believing sorters will put them in order like that for you.
Ha I have heard some stations don't do that but ours do a pretty consistent job of that. However, they don't stack the bags with the QR codes facing out and at some stations they are better at that.
LIFO yeah right 🤣 I check my pick list while loading because its never right. Not horribly disorganized but enough where you have to check to make sure your putting totes in the right place/order.
They are in order on the flex app where they show up below the scanner
When u report sortas for being inaccurate...they can narrow it down to the employee. And correct it
I had 19 bags and 12 overloads last week and this is the exact video I needed to find. Unfortunately our vans don’t have shelves..
320-360 packages on consecutive days with 40 and 52 overflow and there’s no way I can use the shelves. I have to stack 3 containers high. In fact, I cubed out when I had 367 so my dispatcher delivered the 7 overflow boxes that didn’t fit. Craziness..
That was prime week. I hope it levels down a little for some relief.
Yes, that much overflow usually means you have to use another method to fit it all in, although you can use the shelves and still stack the bags three-high (two sideways on top) which uses less space than this method.
Looks like you need to get in a Step Van which you would have no problem loading all those packages in . I drive one in Goodyear AZ and it has 2 shelves on each side with plenty of space for oversize .
@@gregmcginnis3301 Amazon aint paying step van money worth the risk. Thats a UPS job and thats a career 🙌
These kinds of videos are quite helpful. I do have to say this, however, this is actually 16 bags and only 8 or 9 overflow. Quite a reasonable amount to deal with.
Now lemme see her load 27 full bags and 50 pieces of overzied packs during peak season in 5 mins.

Thank you for having this up I really wish I could see what it is they look for on the list though
Loading them vertically may seem great but if those zippers are undone or the velcro is gone they're all going to compile and out of that tote
Yeah that is definitely a problem, which is why you see her checking that each of her bags is secure as she loads them. When you have a lot of bags this method saves a lot of room in your van.
For me I always use the shelves if I can usually put the first two bags by the sliding door behind the passenger seat then put the rest of the bags up then organize over flow. I only cube (stacking 3 high) when I get 20 bags or more

I had 20 bags plus 42 over size packages
She is a keeper
On the sunday after black friday I had 27 bags and 30+ overflow… 345 packages, 145 stops. 5 carts.
What is the idea/reason for the bags? Are they a specific road/apartment complex building etc?
Each driver is given a route. Within that route will be "zones" and the packages for that zone should be in the bag and then also overflow with it. Overflow is packages too big for the bags.
Also those bags contain packages and all the envelopes.
Been doing this for 2 years, glad I never had that many totes.
This is for Cycle 1 routes, 10hr shifts averages around 300 packages 170-200 stops
trash method. at peak you can have up to 27 bags. whats your plan for another 8 with that method?
This is different from what we do. We just scan the carts and our load pops up. All bags in the order they "should" go and all overflow in the order they "should" be delivered. Is there any significance to scanning the bags individually though? I feel like for us if I was to go back and scan each individual bag it would say that I have those bags or whatever on me.
Those bags look light. 250 packages or maybe a little more? Now Amazon is looking to get drivers to 350-400 packages in a route. Fuck you, Amazon!!!
It's not that bad, my DSP been on that type of time with 350 to 400 packages easy. Amazon is light work for me because I come from working for FedEx delivering about the same amount of packages except 90% of them were boxes and most over 75+ pounds. (I use to deliver to a military base a lot) But I feel like it all boils down to the DSP you work for and the work load based on the area you either live in or where your DSP delivers to. Since day one of working with my DSP I noticed that the energy online about driving for Amazon is like night and day compared to the energy around my DSP co-workers.
@@Lugs-d9t But I will say that the pay can still be increased for the work load everyones doing. Especially like for my DSP we are the last DSP to leave out and I don't get to my first stop usually until like 1:05 in the afternoon.

I use to do it that way till I started getting two carts full of oversize. When that happens I prefer to stack bags three high and not use shelves. Lastly a little jealous your drivers actually have a roof over their head when loading. At my station they have us loading in the elements with no cover getting peoples packages wet when it rains.
I had 122 cubic feet yesterday with lots of oversize. I prefer to use the shelves because as I get through the first few bags I can use the shelves to organize the packages better and get out the door more quickly. Our station is less than.a year old so they certainly have learned some lessons. We get lots of weather and I believe the awnings were a request of the local team.
Used to work for airborne express. This is part of why i went to delivering auto/truck parts instead.
Those are rookie numbers. I literally delivered 22 bags, 20 boxes in a ram 1500. The smallest one yet my dp thought it was brilliant to give a person with 10 bags the ram 2500 and another person with 11 bags in the biggest Ford amazon van. It is what it is though
Imagine delivering more and getting paid the same as she does and bragging about it 🤣🤣😂
if they put me in a rental with 200 packages i'm walking out on the spot.
You sound like a kid.
Ima try this today lol because yesterday kicked my ass hahahaha thank you!
I guess its a nice check, but damn....how long can a person do this kind of work?
I lasted 2 weeks 😂
@@lucycarrillo7350 what happened? Terminated or quit?
I been doing for 2 years now
@@ScUbAStEvESCOOBZ they over worked me I got yelled at for not delivering 2 packages but I was driving a van that the emergency lights didn’t work and almost got ran over by cars on a main street because it was so dark and no one could really see me. A phone “the rabbit” that kept dying I was given about 11 totes on one of the small vans I couldn’t fit anything I couldn’t even move anything around. I ended up going back to return the van at 9 PM that night mind you I started work at 8am it was a total nightmare. I resigned the next day! I was extremely tired and no energy for anything it’s just not my type of gig!
@@marcusmonroe2112 how is that possible lol
my thing is why amazon says put it a different way this saved her a bunch of space and a bunch of time and i bet her route will be easier and i bet she doesn’t have to unload the bags to find her stops much easier ill try this today because im working today lol
As a delivery driver for 6 months, this is all I gotta say; It’s really rare to get only 12 over flow packages. That’s super easy. I normally get around 17 totes and 30 over flow packages. And all the totes are completely full. 300 packages averagely.
how's being a delivery driver? i'm thinking of doing it this summer
@@zReanimation it’s honestly tiring. Especially during the summer. It’s not hard mentally but physically it can be.
I've squeezed more than this in my DSP's Chevy Express rental, fun times 😂.
Well, that is in an ideal world. I haven't been getting the peek sheet since about 3 or 4 weeks ago and not only that, the bags are NEVER in the order they told us they were supposed to be on the rack. Every day they are in different order.
Same when I was a driver.
Having to scan each crate and individual overflow package is crazy!!! All we have to do at my hub is scan barcode on the 2 or 3 carts that carry it all. I could never make load out time if I had to scan every item😳
4 years ago they were still figuring how to make load out faster...
I have this job & been working here for a year & two months it’s the worse & they overwork the hell out of you for $15 which the warehouse workers get the same which is crazy. You are in rain , sun , & cold you should be getting a little more . I would be leaving this awful job & going to dhl $21 an hour with way less packages & stops
Amazon is so you can gain experience and go to a higher paying job
At my job they make us punch out for 30 minutes regardless if we take that while we are working or not. So alot of people actually punch out at their last stop and drive back to amazon and then punch meal end when we get there. They have to do this or they cant finish the route during the day. Too many stops and we have a cut off time. Back by 8:45 or we get in trouble.
@@piranhalegify damn so no breaks and no lunch? that's every shift??
@@JolinHard Every shift. They should make it that you cant do stops or be driving back to the amazon station while you punched out. Until they do that amazon they will just fill what should be your break time with more deliveries. They can clearly track my vehicles movement with mentor and rabbit and they can see im driving while punched out working. Not right.
Shane Blair damn.. this sucks. 10+ hours with no breaks
Still use this method. Sometimes, the carts are mixed up and those double/twin touts.
I wish I only had that much overflow
Facts
How long will all that take?
Your videos are very helpful. Thank you.
This video Is God like thank you a trillion fold!
I had 22 bags with 34 overflow
She’s so mad and I don’t blame her lol 😂
Just got bumped to $19.25 as a driver so I don’t mind the physicality of it. Still only doing like 140-180 stops a day and the snow hasn’t even started out here yet. Wish me luck.
lol I get 21.75 an hour in NYC and never get more than 40 stops although all of them are apartment buildings so that 1 stop can actually be 5-9 stops by definition just lumped together.
Do they provide a cart/dollie for any heavier packages?
Yes, your DSP should provide something for you to help with heavy packages. Fortunately the heaviest package we deliver is 50 pounds but if you have a few of those you need a cart, especially if you have to go into an office or apartment building.
My DSP provided dollies for each truck
My DSP only provides dollies for the Prime vans. The non-Prime vans don't get dollies.
@@alexojeda9048 same here lol
put some of the totes on the top on it’s side, and two totes can be placed on the bottom facing closest to the rear door. 19 full totes can fit on one side like this and while it’s a tight squeeze at the rear door, your side door is open and there’s still a whole side of the van left for oversized.
If you don’t use the rear door, or have small oversized sometimes i’ll put totes later in my shift compacted back there and pull them out when I have room to place them comfortably up front.
Better yet, don't use the shelf behind the driver side and triple stack them. You can easily get 21 totes on just one side. I do this and use a few bungee cords to keep them from moving/falling over.
That leaves the whole passenger side of the van for all you over-flow.
Still a slow process of loading
I load 22 bags and over flow under 6mins
Amazon gives us 20 mins to load out so it is better to make sure you are organized and ready for the day than just throw it all in there. If you can do that in 6 mins that is awesome! At our station we all have to leave together so even if you load faster you still have to wait for everyone else.
Ooh sorry
No wonder my shit comes in broken with loaders like you
That's bullshit
And you out delivering for 12 hours
This was very helpful because I’m always struggling loading up
Organize the bags is overrated! I only organized my first 4 bags that’s going out ! I put em by the house exit slide door like she do it n then just throw every other bags in the truck becuase I’ll be able to find em easy ! And she had it easy because she only had a little bit of oversized packages! I could do that in like 5 6 mins ! It’s the oversized packages that’s takes forever to put in the truck specially when you get like 20+ of em like I do all the times
Facts. You can have 20 bags but if you only got 4 boxes of overflow then you good
Most I’ve had is 21 bags 32 over size. On a ford prime. Goated van. We definitely load different tho.
Lol 1 turn on a hilly area and those totes will open up and splatter everywhere. I only load them sideways if they are light.
Not really. I drove the van pretty hard and never had them tip over. I also delivered in some very steep hills in Seattle.
I’m watching this at Christmas time. Are they even taking into consideration overflow?
Nope 😂 I work for Amazon as a driver in Delaware. Welcome to the modern day plantation fam 😂😂😂😂
Try loading 4 carts of product. 17 bags and a whole lot of big boxes. I put all the totes on one side and the boxes on the left side long shelf and underneath that shelf. The right side was all totes.....
Yes this works but only if you get a prime van that has the shelves and if the QR code isn’t messed up on the bag and actually scannable
That's why if you have to manually enter the qr code make sure to remove all qr codes before returning to station so that bag can't be reused
This is the method I use in the dodge vans but I drive Ford Transits most of the time, and they're tall enough to where you can double stack your bags on the top shelf except for 2 spots where the lights are. So you can fit 12 bags on the top shelf and still have room for 7 more on the bottom.
I quit yesterday after the 1st day 😂 that stuff was to much for me
I was about to quit today. When I drive like I want I can knockout deliveries like it's nothing but my Fico score was in the 500. The Fico app is beyond bs and make it seem like you are a terrible driver when you are driving normally but when you drive like a old man you get better scores but you don't finish a route
@@R.O.T.C._SEEM how the hell do you get 500??? I could jump an opened drawbridge and still make 800
David Palmisano locations. Make a big difference
R.O.T.C SEEM 500??? 😂 you should have been fired. i've never gotten below 800
@@davidpalmisano5115 My score is at 850 now. I didn't know that you couldn't use the mentor app and the flex app on the game device so I kept getting phone manipulation, hard breaking, distracted driver because when I go to grab the phone off the mount it would think that I'm still driving.
