    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)

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
