Re: Your closed business address fYI: You can put it in airplane mode, turn your Bluetooth back on move the pin, and then you can mark unable to deliver where you are located. Remember to take it out of airplane mode, and you're off.
Thank you for that. I appreciate it
If u just turn data off I don't think you have to move the pin.
Airplane mode my guy.
I just gotta say: you have a really impressive work ethic. I know youre heading for bigger and better opportunities!
Thank you for the kind remarks Joel! I do appreciate it wholeheartedly
Thank you for your hard work
You're welcome. Thanks for your support
Very interesting. Thank you for sharing 😊😊
Thank you and i appreciate you watching
I love you delivery crew! Thank you so much for what you do🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤
thank you
I LOVE your voice ❤ and accent. I could listen to you talk all day.
Thank you 😊. Appreciate that
Also I find quickest why to put packages in "order" per tote.. esp if you have shelf space.
Boxes in number order, peel the driver sticker off and place it so it is facing you.
Instead taking time to numerical order the envelopes, just put them in piles of, for example : day yer in the 200s.
So piles of 200-210, 200 teens, 200 20s. Etc.
Your eye works quicker than you give credit.
This works esp great when in a rental van and you can toss contents of a tote into the passenger seat. (Boxes on seat numbers facing you, envelopes on the floor between the seats)
Thank u so much bro. Thanks to you I’m ready to experience my second day on the road without stress 👍🏻
No problem bro. Glad i could be of assistance!! Thanks for watching
@@DrivewithJo Yes I have a question if I suspect the Amazon driver Theft How do I go Following that up Because I had ordered a package and it said that It arrived at my front door What I want to go retrieve it at my mailbox It was not there
@@ryu855 if you suspect the driver stole the package you can report it to customer service. You can also select the option that says package said it was delivered but it is not here. Also make sure you have proof before saying the driver stole it. Sometimes they deliver it to customers neighbor and the neighbor takes up the package by mistake.
There should also be a picture that you should see in the app upon delivery. Hope this helps
@@DrivewithJo I do have proof Like The Picture I have a picture I have a photo right And my package is in the photo And it's A Picture of my lobby In my apartment building But when I went down there to go retrieve my package It wasn't fair Usually Om It will be in my mailbox If somebody else finds it Or to bring it up to my apartment building but there's no package And no one can tell me anything Don't remember Seeing any package Or give them the date In the time it was delivered but no one remembers anything But I have a photo
@@ryu855 okay then send it to amazon email address. primary@amazon.com, resolution@amazon.com, orders@amazon.com. you can also go to your order and state it was delivered but its not there. That should solve the problem. Sorry that happen to you though with these incompetent drivers.
Great worker I’m sure you’re a great trainer bro. Also, love the video nice edit work! 🔥I start this position next week wish me luck
Appreciate it man. All the best. Is the position a DSP driver or stepvan driver?
Extensive video bro shows the ups and downs. Anyone on the fence should be able to make a decision on whether its for them or not. Thanks.
That's right. I appreciate your comment as always brother!
Good video, good job! I'm having a hard time deciding if I want to move forward and do this Amazon job, or explore other options that have been presented to me just today. I wish i could do a trial run at each place!
Thank you! Weigh the pros and cons then chose. Amazon is alright. Not the best but definitely a good job. If they pay is better for your other option and less stress then go with that opportunity.
Thanks for your video got sone good info
Sure thing
Great job! 👍 I use to deliver parts to technicians to Boston every day but 20 packages in one hour sounds stressful
Its not to be honest. only if you have apartments and they are group stops then its stressful
You can just go into Airplane mode on the phone and the Flex app unlocks all the options.
Thanks man. You guys are awesome
just got to be sure to be off of airplane mode when attempting the call so you dont mess up your call compliance
@@kennybishop2000 good take
airplane mode or turn mobile data off for a minute and press ?. you might have to press it twice to complete it
20-25 stops a hour and you good. I do it PT. 140-200 stops 200-300 packages. Start time 1030 ending at 430/5 usually.
4:30? That’s too early lol but you said part time so I understand
Finally got off my nursery route. Had 148 stops. Didn’t take ANY 15 min breaks or my 30. Still got rescued. I’m not sticking with ZON anymore. Moving on.
Wow. You were behind why they rescue you
@@DrivewithJo they didn’t want me working past 10pm wile other dudes where driving till 12 am.
@@Poopshootlol till 12??????? What time yall roll out the station?
@@DrivewithJo 1:00pm
@@Poopshoot oh that's why you can work up to 10pm. I think amazon gives you 10 hours of drive time. So 12 am is wild
When that geofence is tweakin..throw the phone in airplane mode and manually move the pin to your location, then turn airplane mode off. You are welcome!
When are trying to mark a package when can’t reach customer and are not where the pinned location is you could put the phone in airplane mode and it will unlock the options so you can mark it correctly.
Thanks for that tip
I seriously miss this job unfortunately my Dsp's Contract was terminated and the other Dsp's at my station didn't have any available positions, if i get another chance I'm definitely going to Hop back on a van and smash some more routes and deliver more smiles on the blu mile
yea sure. So why not try flex if positions are not available even though flex is... aaahhhhhhhh I dont like it
At my dsp they said when you call the customer you have to let it ring for a minute but other drivers just call then instantly hang up and mark it undeliverable which is understandable since we gotta go fast😂
Lol i do that when i call them first and forget to call after I mark it as undeliverable. So the secons call is just a ring drop.
You really showed the full experience bro great video. Quick question, is it true that step van drivers get a dollar more than the cargo van drivers? Heard about it from a coworker but not sure
Thanks man. Um it’s like $2 more. It depends on the employer
@@DrivewithJo cool, I’ll look into it thanks!
Ive been a courier on and off since 2001 and there is no way I would follow any of these rules. Thankyou for the video, amazing work. Peace
Thanks for the support man. Appreciate it
I never once went to deliver a package and wrote "N/ID" because they didn't add an apartment number.
No matter where who you drive for there are a ton of rules to follow. Especially if your a DOT driver
facts @@user-pb4hv3wz1j
If you turn off your phone data (the up and down arrow icon) on the phones drop down menu, you it'll unlock all options for the 'undeliverable' list without moving the drop pin.
Just make sure you turn data back on. 😊
(I been doing this job for 3 years now x.x ugh)
Thanks Ashley
Nice video!
Appreciate you as always man
I also think they should have slots on the truck where packages are placed which illuminate instead of searching through a bunch of packages. I'm sure Amazon delivery will evolve over the years.
Yea i hope. I think the development will come more to the transportation side. Not more so the efficiency of the delivery. But we shall see if we are still around
Great video. I'm applying for this job but I'm nervous. Are they really strict and ready to terminate if you drive too slow, too fast, unable to deliver a package etc?
Thanks for the support.. No i dont think so.. Multiple violations will lead to termination. That is the reason why they have someone riding with you on your first day then they give you a nursery route and build you up from there..
Im an amazon driver in italy and i pretty much like the job, keep going bro
I’m curious, how many stops do you normally do in a day? Here in italy the minimun is like 110 stops and the max can go up to 170
About to 150-180 on average
Thank you bro I have been having this weird problem were I have the delivery location is at the wrong house so I have to walk up to someone random house that not the address mark as delivered then bring the the package down a few block to the write customer. This feels shady as it look as if I taking their package I hope amazon fix there app though to many bugs
Yes it crazy man. Amazon should have the best app. They just tight on funds
hi I like you videos how do you film and what cameras do you used ?
Okay so I used my gopros and i just plan what i want to shoot. now got a mirrorless camera. a6700
Imma join the team soon bro 🎉
wonderful. thats a good thing. it will be rough some days but push through
Put the phone in airplane mode and you can move the pin or you can call driver support and they can mark it as business closed.
I know i did mention you could call driver support but i didn't want to cause sometimes it takes long
I’ve been delivering for Amazon since 2019, and I’ve switched to 5 different DSP groups by now and it makes a HUGE, DRASTIC, BIG ASS difference on how being an amazon delivery driver is bc DPS group leaders are the KEY to how chill or SHITTY and HELLISH your day to day working there will be… out of my 5 different DSP groups 2 were AWESOME!! 1 was OKAY, and the other 2 sucked absolute ass. Major favoritism, unorganized and poor communication.
Dsp does matter how you enjoy your job
I met a Jamaican man who had 23 jobs!
lol who is that??? 😭🤣
Not every amazon delivery guy gets a nice tall sprinter truck. a lot of us drive chevy uhaul vans...packed to the gills
yea i can imagine
I’m definitely not wasting my time with business stops 😂
lol they can be so annoying
If you turn your data off and go back to the stop you will have all options unlocked, then turn your data back on
I just landed a job, thank you for sharing your experiences. The 20 dollar tip story you got while working in the rain was very cool.
Yea it was the first time getting a tip because thats what i consider it to be. It was such a beauty because of how it was presented. Thank you for watching!! I appreciate it
@@DrivewithJo that's pretty cool. It's always nice when people appreciate
Do you pretrip the van, and also what factors do you take into consideration when organizing your van for the day?
Yes we pretrip. Normally when you get the same van you dont have a pretrip everyday if you are working consecutively but you should everytime you are about to drive. The factors I consider is my load for the most part. How many bags I have and overflows. If i have plenty of overflows I need a lot of space at the back so i would unload my first two bags to make room.
FedEx ground guy here, it's really weird seeing your guys' stepvans, their super small haha
lol fedex is slighty bigger 😅
@@DrivewithJo yeah, your guys' looks like 700's, I drive a 1200, it's 27 feet long
yea cool. UPS i know for sure is not only better in bigger vans but bigger everything.. especially that bread@@whowantwar
@@DrivewithJo honestly here they drive smaller trucks than us, out here in Florida, but yeah they makin bank lol
Are the returned packages @ the end of your day, become "overflow" for the next delivery?
I don't think so. They just add it to the route... overflows are the large boxes that cannot fit into a bag
Bro get the experience. Then Apply at UPS . That's where the money at
What's the pay like?
But i think i have to work in the warehouse first correct?
@@DrivewithJoyeah you have to start at the warehouse for a few years then you can be eligible for a truck. Pay is union so usually $30+. Top earners are $44/hr
@@ChumpMasterSupreme oh and that's a guarantee you will be in a step van?
From ups drivers I talked too they work 2-3 years in the warehouse then move onto driver position top earners rn make $49 following the new contract @@DrivewithJo
Hey I work at the same station. I immediately recognized drt8 😂
Scratch that, we work for the same DSP too lol.
@@ImpulsiveThoughtsWithTi lol sssshhhh 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@DrivewithJo your secret is safe with me 😂
@@ImpulsiveThoughtsWithTi 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@ImpulsiveThoughtsWithTi i work next saturday so I'll see you if you're there
Amazon should just have you guys wheel the whole cart onto truck and have special latches that lock the cart into place. Why have that unnecessary step when Amazon is so advanced in every other area, may be you should leave feedback or an idea with human resources. It's something that is reasonable to do , it may need specific styles of mobile shelving carts but it's possible.
I see what youre saying because the step van does have a lot of space. sometimes I get a lot of packages that I am out of space in the step van. But yea, with the advancement of technology, I couldnt agree with you more. amazon need to be better
Why is the bulk head door open while driving?
Makes it easier to leap in and out in communities and apartments. opening the door 100 times and closing it can really take a toll on your arms.
1 question, do i need to make a resume for the interview?
no
no you do not
Amazon drivers deserve better pay you guys work hard
Truth. I appreciate that
Do AI chose the routes for the DAs?
I'm not sure but from my understanding, i think so.
Ai could organize it based off zip code and order time and other factors. But I'm not 100% sure if thats the case
I do 23 stop By the hour and i make same rescue Other drivers
That’s a good spot. 23
Hey bro do you go by driver aid or by streets?… honestly what’s the difference?… I don’t think one would be better than the other?
Streets?? I've never done by streets. I only go by driver aid.
@@DrivewithJo oh okay… I’ve seen other drivers say going by streets makes it easier for them cause they organize it that way but idk 🤷🏽♂️ I would think driver aid is the easiest but streets could be easy too
@@feelingsugoi okay bro. To be honest i don't know how to do it by street number. What if you have one package per street. How do you know which comes first. Especially if it's your first time in the community
@@DrivewithJo that’s a great question but I don’t know bro… what I do know is that you should check out this other UA-camr called Chris sing and one of his videos is titled “how I became the fastest delivery driver on our team” and he shows how he does the deliveries by streets check it out and let me know what you think about that strategy if that’s something we should consider doing and if you find it easier or not?
@@feelingsugoi ok will do. Actually have a deliver faster video i want to start working on
Just turn off your data and you can move the pin to mark it as business closed.
I put my phone airplane mode and it let me mark business close
Oh word. That's what i learn from yall
Bro what's the easiest or repetitive job that someone with disability can work at Amazon? every warehouse they want you to do everything in the warehouse besides what you applied for😅
Lol idk. Try customer service or driver support
Turn airplane mode reset geo fence
thats what i get to understand. Appreciate it
Child’s play… try that brown truck on a heavy day
Still would be light work.
Next time, turn off the internet and the app ldt you to mark the map on delivery point.
How many times per day are you allowed to go to the bathroom?
Normally we use the restroom before leaving or Ill stop by a store or gas station to use it. There is no allotted time for restroom just use at will
@@DrivewithJowell breaks of course no?
@ShadowGaming7 yes. I just don’t take sometimes

That is messed up that you gotta waste all that time over one package, like seriously, they need to sort their act out about the whole undeliverable thing because thats Redonculous the time being wasted, they should literally have a big basket in the back of the van and if you run into problems like that, then those packages simply go back to the station and have a driver Literally dedicated to delivering those types of packages (where the buisness owner is verified to be in or open) on a sperate day so that it takes all the stress off the regular drivers!
I agree with you. It can be time consuming when run into problems
Where are YOU that you have to scan those things?! I only have to take a face pic IF I'm assigned to a van that I'm not normally in. Otherwise, I just scan my normal vans' QR code for the day.
Step van drivers. We have to have our medical card as we have to pass our DOT test.
@DrivewithJo Again.. Ol' No. 93 is my everyday step van an I don't have to do that. Must be a state, and/or DSP thing.
@@muttbone01 oh maybe
I usually get done about 20 minutes give, Or take earlier than my amazon expected time. I usually take one break, but not the other. I guess I like the moving Around. No way do I run or do anything like that. You will get punished severely for consistently, for Finishing an hour or two earlier than your projected time. Good advice you are giving here 23:49
Yea that’s right. No need to rush unless you have another job to get to. Otherwise make that bread. Thanks for watching
I’m a commercial driver with Amazon
Really??? Nice how is it?
How much do they pay for a route in uk 9 hour route is £113
If we should do the calculation, step van drivers get about $19.50 per hour.
So 9 hour route is like $175

If only we got hourly wage in uk where on fixed wages
wow. fixed wage can be bad. do you get overtime?@@kamranhaqq

sorry to hear that. Yea I wouldnt recommend it for a career. Few years is fine but for a lifetime or many years, nah, youre right
yall need to learn how to drive, cause every amazon truck i see is banged up somehow
Yall means, you all. While i can agree to some incompetent drivers working fot DSP's not every driver is a bad driver. Over a period of teo years, ive never had an accident or damage a truck. That says it all. Thanks for watching

right lol
