#AmazonDelivery #Vlog
Thanks for the video bro. Tomorrow is my first day delivering on my own. Did training the past 3 days. I'm kind of nervous to be honest. I'm an overthinker and I like to know all aspects of a job before I start it so I'm like taking notes and drawing diagrams and thinking about how I can be as efficient as possible. Lol. I think I should just go with the flow and pick up my routine as I go. I'm sure I will do well, I just don't wanna fail. I enjoy physical jobs and I'm very aware of my surroundings and have a good attention to detail so I'm sure I wil do well.
itgs been 12 days so im sure youre doing good. give it a month and a half and this job becomes a breeze. come up with your own way of organizing and dont fk around. easy job.
As long as you can get 20 stops done in a hour you be Ight don’t stress out
@@Chickenn839 how many stops do you do an hour?
@@iamjason1279 it all depends on the routes you have things that come into play is coming across traffic long drive ways how many groups stops you have and how fast and healthy you are. But for me I have a decent route so I get about 35-40 a hour but that’s only because I been doing this route for the past few months so I know it like the back on my hand. Also depends on your dsp some rush you some don’t ! Your first month is going to be hell if you can pass the month of hell than you be a pro in no time once you know your routes you be Ight only bad thing with Amazon is they give to manny stops you doing at least minimum 150 stops some people do 200+
How is it
I wish I could channel this guy into my body every day I do this job. He's a freakin' MONSTER! I'm 4 days into this job and finally managed to complete 87 stops with 128 packages in about 5 hours! Organizing helps big time!
Try fedex ground lmao
Thanks for making these videos. There is only so much one can learn from training in the classroom.
I work for a DSP in NY and I’ve lost weight working here being a little bigger I move fast too I love you this job
Nice video. Can not wait til I start
I Pull 300+ a shift. I usually load all my totes on the floor in order then put my overload on the shelves, this way I’m not bending and lifting all day. You work out of each tote one at a time so they should all stay on the floor to save time and space ❤
Is pulling 300+ a flex? You don’t get paid more for more work.
I don’t understand why drivers are bragging about larger number loads. You’re working way harder for the same pay. Why not pace yourself and chill?
I will say that from personal experience that it’s sad that Amazon hasn’t figured out how to give smaller vehicles the smaller packages and larger vehicles the larger packages. Driving around in a box truck to drop off a padded envelope seems at one stop seems damn stupid if you ask me. The trucks and vans should get boxes and smaller packages should go to the independent flex drivers.
Thats good you're in that step van and that the reason I was thinking about switching to one because of that room you have. Doing that in this prime van sucks.
yup, i started in the stepvan before december (Peak season) and i never had to deal with 300+ packages in a smaller van.
Space might not be a problem but no radio or ac is a game changer 🤣
Thx so much!!!
I wouldve needed a rescue 😂😂😂😂😂🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
I’m starting my training hopefully next week. I don’t plan on sticking around for long (4 to 6 months nothing more). From the stories I’ve heard, working for the Amazon is definitely not for the weak.
It has its ups and downs. The area you deliver in plays a big part on whether you will like the job or not. If you get mostly residential areas and not many apartments, you will be fine. the apartments always scare new employees.
@@primenatewhy the apartments scare new employees
@@User_92020 if you ever been to an apartment you know a couple things. Speed bumps, slower driving limits, smaller turning areas, parking spots, more folks are outside, more gates to go in and out of, did j mention stairs? Multiple floors, multiple exit ways and entry ways… etc. apartments are more complicated than going to a neighborhood.
I started my day 1 today and had 90% apartments. I manage to finish my route 2 hours before my end time, but man, it's such a slow process and then stupid routing the app throws at you is insane.
@@loopy221 not to mention the buildings that aren’t marked☹️
Nice !!!!! Thanks
When I used to drive the step van I would put all the totes on the right side then all the oversized on the left side.
So u only have like 9 totes? What happens when u get 15?
@@whocares1631 he throws em away in a dumpster. Work smarter not harder
Lol that man went crazy
I'm gonna be doing this job , I'll enjoy it , I like driving and being by myself most times and love being out in different areas and well I'm used too roofing and stuff like that so this will be a breath of fresh air once I get into the groove , I could make.more money doing other stuff but I'm tired of intense labour although this is a different slave work it will be better for me in the long run for the time being
Are you liking it still?
Yeah man overall it's good
How is it
Love your channel!!
This looks like a pretty good workout.
I think the term “Mental asswhoopin “ is more appropriate 😂
It is I've slimmed down a bit ita good way to get in shape fast for a sport you might want to do and make money quick just stretch eat right and drink water.
Why do you scan each tote and overflow packeges when loading? Is it faster to just scan the barcode on the cart?
Nice and Neat💪🏿💞
With your overflow, do you put the boxes in alphabetical order? Like A's up front & E's in the back? I lasted a day & a half. I was so overwhelmed, but i wasn't to try again.
See this seems much more easy to organize with a bigger van... Today they gave me 18 totes with 17 overflow and they were pretty big boxes for overflow and I had to squish them into the smaller vans....I did crappy on my wrap. I just feel like they didn't really train us for what we actually do day today and it's very frustrating. I'll probably quit soon.
I have small truck 🚚 so can I easily pickup 350 plus packages
How are you routing or is it done automatic by the warehouse . How do you you know what to deliver first 2nd and so on? Im not gettting that part of it
I'm a driver. We use vans at our location. I wish we had the trucks. I hate the rentals. No shelves lmao
Everyday I work 300~400 packages !!! Me too !!!
In the USA do you guys work for Amazon ? Average day in Ireland is 140 a day busy days would be 160-180
Here in Germany if we do that (12:40) str8 away concession.We need to hand it to client,or neighbor,mailbox,safe place...in this order.In a busy city or town...
did what?
Did they provide those gloves for you?
How’s your schedule like during a regular week
How do they determine your route/stops in comparison to your packages? You have 185 stops and 300 pkgs to deliver sounds like critical moment? Why does dispatch get on drivers so he’d for? Thinking about applying for as driver but I’m not looking to getting in trouble for being 1 or 2 stops down, I just wanna get the job done and get home with no hassle!
In a box truck its too easy. Put all totes on one side and all overflow boxes on the other. First in last out.
If your gonna do this job start light you gotta do doordash or spark delivery
You're absolutely correct. Some people may need to start with lighter gigs so that they don't get overwhelmed and subsequently discouraged. My weakness in the beginning wasn't so much the workload as it was with not being organized. Being organized saves time.
Damn, i got 18 totes and 20 overflow on my ride along day. Like 165 stops. Forgot how many packages
Hi, How much amount getting for 300 packets delivery for day with all expedition
600 minute shift divided by number of deliveries equals 3.09 mins average per delivery assuming shift starts from time of first delivery
Do U get paid for the rest of ur shift if u finish early ?
How many stops do you do an hour?
I pull normally run 200+ on the itinerary with 300+ packages in a Mercedes van
Loading up in this would be a breeze
Been delivering since sept 2020 and still going… wasn’t sure i would make it this far…. But i have! I’ve picked up a route in an extra large rental van… with 330 packages…. 23 bags and 30 plus overflow! Mad packed but i made it… peak season is fun! Lol
U a different breed u have no time for break u can’t sit an catch ya breath for a bit just keep working all day but good u like it man that shit is straight dumb
@@nocapent8878 I'm a bigger guy but I enjoy the challenge and Amazon makes it so simple to deliver.....and its all light packages thank God! My old job was at FedEx and I'm glad I came to Amazon!
It takes me about 45 min sometimes to go thru one tote, I can’t figure out a good method to organize the packages inside the totes to help me deliver faster. Do you have your own of doing this? Yesterday I took about 8 hours for 173 packages (got rescued because my dsp wanted us home early). I know I’m new and am expected to be slow, but putting the stops in order just doesn’t seem to be efficient.
I honestly organize them by the small yellow sticker and i finish +35 stops an hour
I Take a minute to put it all out on the shelf and group up the last names so its just grab and go! Finished 180 stops in 5 hours!
I brought a plastic container that I sit on floor and I load my small packages in it by number order then place the boxes on the passenger seat and floor in order hope this helps makes my day goes faster 😁😁😁😁
Get a mail tote, throw all your envelopes with the label side where you can easily look through them and grab them, put the mail tote in your passenger seat
The Job isn’t for everyone
Go to UPS you seriously deserve more. They need people and I was just hired there and leaving Amazon.
be careful. UPS doesn't really hire outside people, meaning you have to apply from within i.e as a warehouse worker. If they hired you out of house that means you are most likely seasonal/temporary and they will lay you off
you'll make money at UPS but your body will feel horrible.... you'll never really enjoy a day off unless you just have strong joints and muscles 😂 lol it's harder than what people think
Dude i know this os like 2 y ago, i hope your fairing well but.... its already been a month and a half a weak for me.. and im still struggling. Would you agree that the Space in the Big vans help out allot than the little vans? Becaise the amount of Overflow for the small vans i get are cucking tremendous.
i would get into the step vans asap if ur struggling with space. I was asked to join the step van team a month after i got hired at amazon and i been in the step van for almost 2 years. i can’t imagine using smaller vans to work, it can make organizing very time consuming.
does it pay better than Ubereats/ Door Dash driver?
How many stops u normally get a day
just became a driver got any more tips? hmu i’m on nursery routes rn
I start in two weeks so thank you for making this !
You're welcome! If you have any questions when you first start, feel free to come back and ask. I am always watching for new comments.
My tips for you
*Take a cooler
*Eat before you leave the crib
*Take enough waters if your dsp doesn't provide any
*Shake up some pre workout in a water bottle and a protein shake in another ( you don't have to but I do this) drink my pre-workout bottle throughout the day and start drinking my protein shake after lunch
* Eat while you're on the go ( especially if you feel like you're not performing too good)
*Jog to each stop, if you can (don't do this in the beginning if you're not used to being active)
*Find a way to use the portable charger they give you while delivering because you will need to sooner or later
*Just stay positive man, jam to some tunes, don't let the weather get to you and don't keep up with what you have left just keep eating at the totes. I like this job, a lot of people don't have what it takes to stay in this because it gets exhausting. But our bodies are meant to adapt and get stronger so just keep pushing brother👍
Did my day 1 and apartments are not fun but otherwise it's a good day ! I'm awfully tired though. Tomorrow is gonna suck.
@@MiguelRPD you still doing it ?
@@Bhullarsaab92 yes sir, I'm on day 5 and I feel great. I had nothing but houses so I walked the entire day. And I was still ahead 2 and half hours. Went home after. Thank God I get a 3 day weekend. My legs need to recover !
What’s the best way to deliver that many packages in the Time they give you, my first day was yesterday and I go back tommorow any tips would help to help speed up time
Match all the address up it saves time
I tried matching all the addresses up that takes too much time for me someone said to go by driver aid and I’ll try that tomorrow
Thanks bro!!! 🤙🏽 they don’t train us on how to do this in Maryland!! They just throw us out to the wolves.
Any tips for APT’s? They kill me, I take forever at apartments, looking around for the number and stuff
For apts, look at the map view to see where everything is. For example, maybe there is more than one location at a stop and it makes you go back to the van for another package. Also put all the packages in a tote and take it with you so you aren't struggling to hold everything
Drop all of them at the office
@@anthonyworkman6379 did that work out for u lmao
@@nocapent8878 what do you do at apt?
@@camxdidxthat I quit fk that shit slave type of time at Amazon
I’m new mad trying to figure out how to organize packages. I was told I need to do 25 deliveries an hours. Someone told me to pull over and organize my first tote?
After loading up at the station, head to your first stop and organize there. After organizing, deliver to ur first stop and continue.
Or if you load up quick enough you can pull packages out your first tote there to get a bit of a head start
Just found this video but I have a quick question what do you prefer driver aid # or going by address?… which one is easier and faster for you?
I'm 3 weeks in. I prefer driver aid number because unlike when I use to work for FEDEX you never know which route you're gonna be on within the specific area your DSP has assigned to them. Now as far as addresses there is something I do as far as keeping a log of certain addresses that I have to do specific things for like for example. I have the basic address (e.g. "Arlington Ave , or Windbreaker") then beside that I write myself a note stating, "need to get keys from leasing office to enter the apt complexes, COMPLETE BEFORE 5PM) Or another example would be if a certain home address or business wants me to leave the package with a neighbor everytime I'm delivering I have that address in my notepad. I know, I know eventually you will end up with a lot of addresses in your notepad but repetitive delivering everyday will have you eventually remembering a lot of places. Not specifically by name or address so to speak but when you pull up to them it will trigger your brain to remember things from your notes.
Just curious, when you do your deliveries, do you just go in the order of your itinerary or do you use the map and just knock out all the deliveries in the general area you’re in?
Both, when you’re in the same area every day, you get a feeling of when you have to start looking at the map and not go by the itinerary. When it comes to apartments, you definitely need to look at the map.
@@primenate gotcha. Thanks
194 stops to me is absurd unless your dsp works differently, are they single stops or do
You guys get group stops?
Anything above 150 is absurd
I was gettn hella group stops at mine but fu k alll that shi left soon as possible
I don't understand how you do it physically. I estimate my best at 250 packages. I am 2 weeks in. After a 100 stops, my body shows real signs of fatigue, my back is on fire.
Slowly and consistently, the guys at my dsp always brag about finishing routes the fastest but that will wear you down quickly and not to mention, kill your knees! I found it best to average at 20 stops per hour.
When you start getting a consistent area/route, where you see the pretty much the same houses/streets/areas, you start remembering where each one is at and you stop relying so much on GPS! Also, once that knowledge comes, as you load your van in the AM and have seen your route for that day, you can load your over-flow accordingly, so you don't spend too much time looking for it once you're at that given stop!
The most I've done in way of 'stops' is 178 w/308 packages and my Ford Transit Van was pretty loaded! Had 15 totes & 32 good size over-flow boxes! It's all about being organized and how well you know an area!
Hey where did you get those gloves and are they good with touch screen
my dsp gave them to me and yes they are touchscreen compatible
@@primenate nice thanks for the reply 👍
@@primenate well I'll have to ask about them but probably won't have any to give but I was just wondering if there were any gloves you might recommend that have good grip and are good touchscreen that are also a decent price. Everything I see is either more than I want to pay or have to many bad reviews
I'm thinking about working for Amazon this summer, what your thought on that good job or not?
I definitely recommend it as a summer job but i wouldn't recommend full-time. Start out part time and if you can handle it, then you can pick up shifts here and there. Enjoy the first two training weeks, after that you are expected to do the same as everyone. Overall it's easy once you get the hang of it, don't over think it.
Run my guy. Dont do it fulltime lol.
@@primenate what are the days and hour part time?
@@sirhborn its 7 days a week and start time depends on the company you work for. Some companies start at 9 am and some start at 12p, but 9 am better because you start earlier and finish early (around 6 pm).
@@primenate I started during peak and I'm getting burned. I wish I found your channel sooner.
300 packages? Wtf!!! I just started, i got 152 and it took me all day. I deliver in an area where i have to walk alot. Big properties with huge driveways
Gotta be thinking there in an area with not much driving. Cause I do about 20 packages an hour . But driving all over. 300 seems like slave labor. I know some drivers have gotten swamped with that many and needed multiple rescues
I respect it bro but I work in a regular prime van with 30 bags 30 bags not as big as the step van I'm tryna how to pack my van in a better way bro
is this DSP?
are the totes organized by neighborhood?
yes
the group stops don't separate for me! lol some have 3 grouped and aren't even close! The other day I took 206 stops but I'm positive I took 230 at least haha
I drive a step van and I had 300+ my back was a mess. Lots of overflow
What gloves do you wear?
amazon branded ones, my dsp gave me them.
Yea I wanna know how to organize in order training sucked
6:47 was that a driver helper ?
that was another driver that had finished loading his van and came to help me. At my station, we’re told not to just stand around after we’re done loading and to find someone that needs help.
@@primenate ok thanks i appreciate it
Now imagine fitting 24 totes 26 over flow in a Cargo Van
I had way more than that yesterday. 395 total, 220 stops, 58 overflow all huge xl boxes and tons of 40lb catfood boxes. the first stop of course was a school where i had to climb 3 sets of stairs with 13 pacakges over 400lbs total weight lol
Only thing about amazon is I keep rescuing terrible drivers. End up deliver over 300 packages per day cuz other drivers can’t pull their own weight. 🤦🏻
Take your breaks when you get down to your last couple of totes. That way they won't have you rescue lol
I don't do this but hey it might work 🙂
Yeah dont pick on the new guys. You were there before....
Hey
I have to deliver in the rain today for the first time. Do you have any tips?
I usually check in the morning to see if it will rain and then that would decide what I'm wearing, like if I'm going to bring a jacket or more importantly waterproof boots or sneakers. Any watch out for puddles!!
I don’t get why you want to be at 281?? You don’t get paid more? You just have a heavier load for the same general time as everyone else?
Is it just for flex? What am I missing?
bro what city you in? i'm over here in sf and making $23. how much y'all make? had 154 stops / 345 packages
$23?? Bro I make $19 in NJ 😭 but your living expenses higher.
You started at that? I started at 16.50
@@jermainemyrn19 in the bay? i started at $20
Started 16.50 in Texas
This heat is killer 🤠
Here in SD minimum wage is $14
And amazon drivers here make $17 an hour. Some pay $16.50 an hour.
I feel like not worth it here, im going through my background right now. Not sure if i want to drive anymore 🤥
You do 8 hours or 10 hours??
How many hours are you actually driving??
How much time do you spend loading?
You're on the clock for almost 9 -10 hours. Loading is around 45 minutes including the waiting period. So you're driving for like 7-8 hours .
1) What kind of shoes or sneakers do you wear?
2). How come you only work 3 days? Is that your choice?
the shoes were provided by my dsp. it's called Zappos at work program or something like that.
I chose to only work 3 days because I go to college.
I use the D’Lux Walkers by sketchers very comfortable shoes
Oh you’re Amazon proud.. I’m not wearing that silly ass hat😂
i’m not amazon proud, i just use it to hide my big forehead.
@@primenate Lol oh okay
Hats ain’t all that bad
@@user-zd8vg1nl5g the skully/beanie not bad. That’s the only one I’d wear.
Bro, how many kilometers going to delivery for day, please reply
Are you asking my how many steps I walk when delivering?
How many miles
Wait, you're not running? Clearly, you can be working harder. Also, it takes you more than one touch to click on things on your phone? That's clear proof that you're wasting valuable company time.
Haha. Jk. Good job!
How do you organize your totes as you open them? I have a little mesh bag like thing that they have me put the envelopes and bags into. They told me not to “waste time” and to just shove them into it. The past two days, I’ve been using the mesh bag to organize by street name (not number), and my days have gone by so much faster. I just finished my first week and already rescued a couple of people.
I never once did it by the numbers, i do not have the patience for that. I open a tote and first take out all the boxes and lay them out on a shelf with label up and then do my best to quickly look for the envelopes.
@@primenate I do the same think but I go by the yellow sticker. I spread the envelopes all out face up. Ur eyes are faster than ur handz
I organize them in groups so all the 2030’s go together and all the 2040’s go together.. doesn’t take long too find what u need
Tidy,organize, quick, good your style do delivery, everyday always different car you use, and how obout money you get every 200 - 300 pak, n how money hours you finished tq
No wonder items arrive broken. You slam those boxes around quite a bit. Particularly the smaller separate ones.
I would be happy to walk you through any logistics warehouse like UPS, USPS, FedEx and Amazon and you'll see slamming/throwing packages is a common thing. It's not done purposely, it's a combination of being rushed and very little time to load and unload.
get off youtube cathy
Any courier service they wil just slam everything.... Too many parcels......
And its the senders fault too.... They have to wrap it with bubble wrappers....delivery guy cant be taking 1000 parcels like flowers each time... And u will get your parcel delivered in one months time if they treat each parcels like a flower....talk about logic...
Video starts at 3:41
So amazon drivers don't have the same route everyday
You sometimes alternate between 2-3 different routes. it’s better to have the same route because as a driver you can memorize the route and work more efficiently every time.
NOPE!
Now what do you do if you have a van lmao
How long have you been here? Are you still working here?
I've been there one year and I quit back in June.
@@primenate why did you quit ?
Worst job I had in my life . I left fedex and went back
20 minutes allowed on our pad to load
Yeah I don’t think so
U organize at ur first stop, not at the station.
@@primenate u organize wherever you get the opportunity actually. It starts on the pad getting bags and overflow in order. You make it appear as you have unlimited time to do this
Yo can you listen to headphones
yeah, why not. I haven't worked one day without listening to music.
They should pay you guys way more for real.
I drive a step van too I just posted my first day in the life video check it out !!! Good video again
Try organizing 500 😫😫😫

Plzz help me
It's easier with a rhino of course
Hey friend question… You are confusing those who want to work. Let me explain when you load the truck or van you have to put it in order (lifo) according to your rabbit or the order sheet. I saw a comment from you that says you don't like to waste time ordering. but now at your first stop you say you're going to fix all that.. Know everybody different Now when you will have a mess i think
No, you confused yourself. I said it's a waste of time organizing from the numbers. When I get to my first stop, I organize by making everything straight and all the boxes side by side. and I said everyone is different how they do it but I don't like organizing by numbers.
@@primenate know everyone is different thnx
@@primenate friend I have a question. Before you load your van the bags that are in the cart you scan them in order according to the order in the rabbit or you can do it as you want pls let me know thnx
first scan all the totes or containers then put them in the van how you like. then when you finish all the containers, scan all the big boxes and put them in the van how you like.
@@primenate ok but how you scan in order ? Or you scan it according to the list (rabbit) or you scan it one by one no matter what is the order
bros name is really primenate lmao
shouldn’t be talking with a username like dead dreams…
Man it feels like you got to go through training like Rocky to make it through Amazon.
If only you knew what i’ve been through…
I feel ya, I’m trying to prepare I start training next week and I don’t feel good about it looking at these videos on it.smh
@@michaelwright5098 how is it going ?
@@juancampoverde3980 actually better now looking at these videos gave a sort of cheat sheet to get through it. My DSP is starting to fall apart slowly though.🤷🏾♂️
@@juancampoverde3980 it’s going pretty good I can handle 180 stops in pretty decent time before I was struggling.
Naver work them 😂 you will be old in 1 years time your legs will die 😂 than your Mr happy will not work lolz
Cheeks.
Here’s a tip. YOU DONT ORGANIZE
Everyone works differently my friend. But would you recommend the same advice to someone in a prime van and with 300+ packages, it would take them 10+ minutes to find packages...
Nah, even after my first day it became patently obvious how important it is to organize. ESPECIALLY since the DSP I’m contracted through doesn’t provide any bags for organizing lol.
