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.
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)
@@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.
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.
Download the offline map before leaving. Send a message to the customer, having downloaded the map offline at the beginning of the day just disconnect the data from the phone, go to the question mark at the top right, press I'm at the address but the gps doesn't work and close as customer unavailable or business closed. At least in Italy we sometimes do this. Good work
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.
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.
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
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😂
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
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!
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)
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
I'm a delivery associate as well. That load out 20 minute time frame is bullshit! And sometimes the warehouse associates are rushing the drivers. It would be easier if amazon had warehouse associates assist the drivers with loading...
@@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

Huh got an in person interview with one of the Dsp I love driving so I don’t mind it just just in worried about those 200 plus packages, good thing imma fast learner tho
Driving is like 10% of the job. The other 90% you’re climbing in and out the van, handling packages and walking or jogging if you care about what time you finish.
One of the worst jobs I’ve ever had, overworked and underpaid to the max. Constantly under surveillance with cameras and tracking apps. Can’t wait to quit
@@MiguelTorres-fl6gr oh yeah, because I totally knew what the conditions of the job were prior to working..you clearly don’t have much of a brain in that head of yours. Also I’ve worked many labor intensive jobs, I enjoy hard work. You’re clueless and probably sit in an office all day 👎
I'm at the same DRT. I'm on my 3rd DSP (one moved to a different DRT, and one that I was with 3 years was forced to shut down.). I've been in areas I've absolutely loved and some not so much. This summer is gonna be HOT. So make sure to stay COOL.
yesterday i had 154 stops in mount pocono. i started half an hour late because of a traffic detour. typically it takes 1 hour to get to my first stop since my dsp is located in new jersey. my start time was 1:05 and i finished at 5:50 with my lunch break. drove an hour back got gas and drove the truck back to the lot. finished at 7:25
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
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..
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
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
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
I love the detailed video. Not many Amazon drivers make videos anymore. Do DSP drivers work back-to-back days or do you get a day off in between shifts?
Joseph big up yuh self as a fellow Jamaican! We work hard no matter where we go you represent us well. With two years of experience with Amazon I think that you should join UPS, USPS, or Fedex. At least with these companies you get good benefits, better pay, and are part of a union. Amazon is no good, they have you overworking for little pay and no job security. And I know for a fact that with Fedex they give you your own route, so you deliver parcels in one area and not all over the city. Good luck!
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.
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
I ended up canceling my late order and wanting to get a refund since it was delayed 4 separate times. What does it usually mean if a package has stayed at the distribution center for an entire day when it was supposed to be shipped?
It can mean something is wrong with the package. Happened to me where it’s at the center and it doesn’t ship till the next day or two. I’d advise you cancel the package and reorder it. Sometimes that works
It means it’s lost forever and you’re totally doomed……..there’s no hope on you ever receiving it, especially because it’s still at the station……..station……station….station …….
@@martinlopezjr7585 I just got the same model for less during a Hobby Lobby sale. I think what happened, was that the package was lost or damaged and they couldn’t do anything because it was currently out of stock. I pre-ordered a restock of a Gundam kit and they were soon out of stock after it finally shipped, so they couldn’t really do anything.
Isnt the rivian quiet large? but yea thats just one video. I have got more than 40 overflow already and more than 22 as well. sometimes its not the quantity but the difficulty
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.
I might enjoy the driving part,but I wouldn't like to meet nasty and horrible customers you have to deliver too.I still remember that undercover documentary on an Amazon warehouse many years ago, where the people were treated like slaves. Hope things have much improved since then.
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😅
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
@@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?

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!

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
Just turn off your data and you can move the pin to mark it as business closed.
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
I ended up canceling my late order and wanting to get a refund since it was delayed 4 separate times. What does it usually mean if a package has stayed at the distribution center for an entire day when it was supposed to be shipped?
It can mean something is wrong with the package. Happened to me where it’s at the center and it doesn’t ship till the next day or two.
I’d advise you cancel the package and reorder it. Sometimes that works
@@DrivewithJo Thanks for the info.
It means it’s lost forever and you’re totally doomed……..there’s no hope on you ever receiving it, especially because it’s still at the station……..station……station….station …….
@@martinlopezjr7585 I just got the same model for less during a Hobby Lobby sale. I think what happened, was that the package was lost or damaged and they couldn’t do anything because it was currently out of stock.
I pre-ordered a restock of a Gundam kit and they were soon out of stock after it finally shipped, so they couldn’t really do anything.
smallest step van route ive ever seen... i get 22+ bags every day with 40+ overflow and im in a rivian
Isnt the rivian quiet large? but yea thats just one video. I have got more than 40 overflow already and more than 22 as well. sometimes its not the quantity but the difficulty
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 might enjoy the driving part,but I wouldn't like to meet nasty and horrible customers you have to deliver too.I still remember that undercover documentary on an Amazon warehouse many years ago, where the people were treated like slaves. Hope things have much improved since then.
Should have called driver support. Usually will only take 5 mins
❤❤Thank you!!!!
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.
Turn airplane mode reset geo fence
thats what i get to understand. Appreciate it
What happens to the undeliverable packages?
Returns to the station
Good Video
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
is the rumor about peeing in bottles still true?
That will never change. That can be avoided though
Nice video!
Appreciate you as always man
How do you organize?
@@RedRanger_ I have videos on that. Check it out
The customer should’ve had given you detailed information and delivery instructions that’s detailed.
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
Cool
1 question, do i need to make a resume for the interview?
no
no you do not
You still working there? I applied and I love to deliver since I have over 2k doordash deliveries lol
You doing doordash? i do too
You are from Jamaica right?
correct
Let me let you Drivers no something
DO NOT MAKE A CAREER OUT OF THIS
I WAS A DRIVER
TRYING TO COLLECT UNEMPLOYMENT CAN'T GET IT
IF YOU GOING TO STAY
DO IT FOR A MINUTE
YOU TRY TO MAKE A CAREER YOU WILL BE SORRY
I CAN COLLECT 24,000 IN UNEMPLOYMENT
I HAVE TO FIGHT TO GET MY OWN MONEY I WORK FOR
THIS MAN IS GETTING RICH OFF THE DRIVERS 😢
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
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
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
I’m a commercial driver with Amazon
Really??? Nice how is it?
Where I am people steal packages on the persons porch. Has this issue come up with you?
Not sure. but I am sure people would report package missing
hey, my name is Santiago, and a friend and I are working with other amazon drivers to create a video. The Video is going to be a neutral/Positive talking about our experiences as amazon drivers. Please let us know if you if you can participate, we would love to have you on board. thanks

My English is not good. Can I work there? Is English required?
Yes you can.. I had a guy who spoke I believe french or another language and he use translator to communicate. You will be fine
Next time, turn off the internet and the app ldt you to mark the map on delivery point.
Child’s play… try that brown truck on a heavy day
Still would be light work.
Silly to wear headphones for work!
Some people need music to keep it going. Thanks for watching
You still drive for Amazon
