I'll show you my first stop and POV of what it looks like driving the cargo van (ram 3500 promaster). we also get some lomo saltado for lunch!

I might try that exact place soon since I live in Jersey. What the name of the dish again ?

@@LaosHouse bet thanks
Really enjoy your videos. I’m a e-supermarket delivery driver in the UK covering large areas. I agree with you the hardest part going to a new area is finding what to eat, plus locating a toilet!
You’re a good guy Chris keep spreading that positivity
Giving me bad flashbacks of when I used to work for that tyrant of a company. Wouldn’t recommend, worst few months of my life. I didn’t mind the driving and delivering aspect of it. It’s just that my managers were constantly up everyone’s rear end, tracking us, watching us, not mention being underpaid. Now I work as a legit truck driver delivering bigger packages and the pay is way better.
Love these videos. You're so upbeat!
When I was working at Amazon as a delivery driver in Canada, I had 165+ stops and 250+ packages every day delivering in residential areas and when I got "promoted" to working in the downtown area, I averaged 70 - 90 stops with over 250+ packages. From what I've seen from our US counterparts, Amazon is more lenient on your packages and stops.
Great video, this is exactly what it was like working for amazon.
That depends on dsp in the area.. here in washington state most of our drivers are averaging 160-190 stops and between 250-400 packages.. especially through peak season which is the holidays at the end of the year..
Like the other poster said, it depends on your DSP and location you’re dropping off. Some days I had 160 stops, some days I had 15 stops in rural areas where the stops might be 25 mins apart. I loved those days.
We get normally between 300 and 400 every day. You be lucky to get under 300
yeah you’re wrong buddy, i get around 400 daily with 180 stops everyday
@@alfredoarizmendi1648 Either way, working for Amazon as a delivery driver wasn't the best we can all agree with that.
Wish our package count would be reduced! My DSP has strictly residential neighborhoods (some businesses) and we average 150-190 stops a day with 300+ packages. Insane amount of group stops. This beats a rural country route with 80 stops in my opinion though, I get done way earlier in residential rather than the rural low stop count routes.
That last stop always hit different 😊
Fun content to watch. Good video!
I agree 100% with the longer drive, less stops. I drive just over 2 hours to my first stop
That means you have to drive 2 hours back. Worth 😆
@@LaosHouse I’m lucky to take my truck home everyday lol. Still it’s less wear and tear on my already broke down body. Getting in and out of my truck for 60 stops is better than 140 💁🏻♂️
@@weirdo21212 100%
@@weirdo21212 I thought you guys drove and did like 100 stops in amazing still
Depends on where your route is, heavy residential you may have over 170 to 200 stops. It goes fast in bigger neighborhoods. Short driveways are always helpful in getting the deliveries done quickly.
Love the vids keep doing it
appreciate it Milky!
I used to work for Amazon as delivery driver but I quit within 3 months terrible experience, work schedule changes all the time without letting me know, and forces me to do OT, or even if I finish my route they'd force me to pick up more packages lol. Never will work for Amazon again in my life.
Love the pov vid 🔥
more to come🔥
Happy New Years Chris!!🥳
That food looks so good, it breaks my heart they're only in Jersey. I see a road trip in my near future
In Ireland we got to knock on the door and wait for someone to answer , Dublin Ireland is much smaller than anywhere in the US and we average 140 stops a good day,
Xmas , prime day , Black Friday ETC maybe 170-180 stops
I work for a knife sharpening company so my day is very similar to yours. Though my day only about 60 restaurants but tons of towns I go to in a day and definitely some sketchy ones I hate delivering to
You can drive 5 mph over the sped limit and won’t get an infraction. I drive 5 over everywhere and never get speedings, it’s if you go 10 over for a certain amount of time when they will dock you.
The new Rivian vans are a good upgrade.
Damn i didnt know you deliver around Woodland Park 😂 Live around there and That Lomo spot is banging 👌🏽
Feliz Año nuevo Chris!
Happy New Year J!
One the I hate about the post office is that your directions are on pieces of paper so it's very confusing sometimes when you're doing the route for the first time and they're not always the correct direction either
Chris happy new year to you and your family
Happy New Year Dylan! Let's get it in 2023!
Watching your videos makes me miss New Jersey bro . Lowkey might move back lmao
Bro this is totowa / woodland park right when I worked in Totowa I literally always ordered from the lomo spot lol
I do deliveries with Amazon Flex. I definitely agree, more driving, less packages. I use my own vehicle, so I don't have too many rules. I enjoy what I do. I get a different route every time. Most of the time, I have no idea where I am, but the app always helps me get the job done!!!
How’d you get to use your own car? I just got hired and start next week and definitely prefer that. Do they usually ask what u want to drive?
@@jwj123abc He was talking about Amazon flex. If you’re actually working for Amazon then you have to drive the vans.
I love Flex, but DSP is tempting. Flex is great when it's popping off, but routes are tough to get during certain times of the year, you eat the wear and tear + gas costs for your own car, the pay is wildly inconsistent and you have to deal with paying income tax -- it isn't withheld for you.
I signed up for Flex but it never hits me up to drive @@Evan2
@@Evan2yeah I agree, flex is cool but it’s not worth it long term DSP is the clear and obvious choice if you plan on doing this for a while.
When I worked for Amazon I never had less than 165+ stops and well over 300 packages. Not to mention I was driving an hour and a half to the first stop of the day.
I was doing this back in Oct 2022... till April....174 stops and 24 bags...20-30 overflow... in Farmland areas then finishing out entire Apt complexes til 930 pm.... Can't believe I did this🤦🏾😅😅
Only time I had 40...50 stops was on my nursery route...3 days later...WHAM!!! Shit got real😅
@@MrParis215 Nursery routes in apopka are starting no less than 95 stops and they just go up from there, shit is egregious
I couldn't do this much stops/packages on a day, I work for a company that does the bigger packages, like tables chairs en that sort of things. My average routelength is around 500kms/310miles. I do like 20 stops on a day. It's much more relaxed I think
20 stops !?!?!?!?!?!?!?
@@BlauTube yep but much bigger packages, like (garden)furniture and homegyms.
Inca cola is also drunk a lot in Ecuador. Underrated soda for sure lol 7:43
I like how the man enjoys his job.
just making the best of it. Life's too short to do things that make you unhappy
@@LaosHouse true brother
I felt the same way during week 1, let's see you after week 2 x)
@@LaosHouselove that mindset
We got 5 routes in the same city our dsp is at less than a 5 minute drive to get to your first stop crazy easy
I think I could hustle this for about a week
Cameras are not a live feed for those wondering. They serve a really good purpose though not only to watch the driver but to save them too in some cases.
Hi Laos ~ when they say "delivery to delivery" methods for lunch break, how do you take your lunch break? Do you think to "clock out"?
working for another delivery company in sweden, we can only do about 40-50 stops max since its 3-10 minut drive between each
I'm moving to Sweden lol...
40 ...50 stops was my nursery route my 1st week lol
@@MrParis215 12-13 an hour is like, working fast
Love watching your videos while eating..😊
Best time to watch
So many cameras. It is like you're being watched everywhere.
You are
Technically you gotta rewind the camera back unless you are being watched live by someone 24/7
Don’t worry we can pee in the back of the van
@@namimilk lmfao
thats wha ur mom feels when she is recording with johonny sins
Working at a facility I see you guys fill up the truck and go. The trucks are mostly at the facility already
ive had 160+ like 20 totes 10 over flow its a easy job but physical and annoying sumtimes when its dark you cant see house numbers,
Do you ever take food with you or do you always eat out ? Seems like a lot of money to spend every day
Buen video, y que bueno que te gusto el lomo saltado, saludos desde Perú ;)
Asuuuu!
A cake walk compared to the routes I was getting of 180 stops, many with multiple locations and over 400 packages. Amazon is out of control with their requirements of drivers.
Are there cameras that film you inside the car? Like you driving?
DSPs should provide a POV video of their fastest drivers for training purposes
It's not a good idea my dsp have his fastest driver teaching the new guys and he's the fastest but he does a lot of sketchy things to get the job done quicker
Happy new year
Happy New Year!
Do you have to load up all the packages or do you just pick them up and then load them into the truck?
Totowa NJ/ Woodland Park NJ!
what dsp dsp do you work at? i take route 3 leaving my station everyday never see any other amazon vans lol
Dudeee i wish we had it like this. I work for DHL in the Netherlands and we have to stack all the packages in the back of the van individually with no shelves. Have to wait at the door for every person and cant leave packages at the door. Dont even get breaks een when theres 160 stops. This amazon shit rules.
i feel you, i deliver groceries in the Netherlands. Its much more relaxed. 20 till 30 stops a day
@@jochemh2 Hellofresh?

"¿Donde están mis PERUANOS?" But for a first time it's OK. Nice videos man. Greetings from Colombia
What phone is your dsp are using do you guys have issues because my dsp is using those cat phones that are dumb sometimes or most of the time
BRUUUH 102 stops?! I'd kill for that, they have me running 200
I use to Run 170+ Stops.... was insane... overflow was 25...30 average on the daily....6mos I had to bounce after peak season🤦🏾😅😅
No matter how fast I was...I couldn't keep it going any longer lol
😮💨 stg
Jesus mate, yesterday I had 190 stops with 400 parcels (UK). They pay us and treat us like crap, I handed in my notice after a year and a half.
Happy Independence Day🇺🇸
Yoo i got so excited when he said donde esta mis peruvians 🇵🇪
One advantage that fedex has over amazon is customer instruction is just a suggestion not a requirement, so drivers don't actually get in trouble for not following instructions.
Amazon drivers don’t get in trouble either. You can mark packages delivered to another safe location and as long as you take a decent photo it’s all good
6:00 ME everytime I see FedEX or UPS lol
I love Inca Kola! hard to get up here in Canada. First had it when I traveled to visit my family in Lima.
it reminds me of bubblegum
It’s bomb. My favorite
Man I feel really lucky and lazy at the same time having a comfortable remote IT job where every day I can just punch in my hours even if it's a quiet day and I barely have anything to do. I can just freely spend my time as long as I get the job done and I never really feel exhausted after a day, I've had a couple of retail jobs and whatnot and while I got used to that kind of lifestyle I just can't imagine going back, even commuting and stuff like that would feel annoying.
I suppose with a job like this days would fly relatively quick but it would be pretty tiring I imagine
Any idea where i can find an entry level remote job?
Mood. I'm a respiratory therapist and we just do our round, which takes maybe an hour to an hour and a half, then we chill out for the next three or so hours until the next round which tends to be even shorter. Of course shit can hit the fan and it's all hands on deck at a moment's notice, but it's not too often and, IMO, usually just spices things up and makes the night go by faster.
Also sometimes you'll have a difficult critical patient that requires "babysitting" since they may be fairly unstable and doctors are constantly changing things until they get to a stable point.
My first job was in a grocery store where I had the same sort of 2x 15 minute breaks and one 30 minute break he says in the video while having to be constantly working at all other times and I cannot imagine doing that again. I'd lose my fucking mind. On the flipside, a delivery driver or say a merchandiser for Coke or something sounds like a relatively chill time as you're on your own for the most part driving around to places.
How do you work, follow the GPS route 1.2,3,4,5 etc.?
What driver's licence category do you need to perform this kind of work? I'm unsure if the light vehicles is sufficient
From what I’ve seen from the job ads all you need is a regular license. They offer training for the van.
@@financewithnoel3033 Tysm for letting me know
YOUR Next job is ups,USPS or fedex expresS, DHL AND LASERSHIP? i just got fired for backing into and smashing a vehicle thAT WAS PARKED IN FEDEX EXPRESS
CURRENTLY WORKING USPS
FedEx ftw because u don't have to recue the slow drivers after your done
What camera do you use a go pro?
can you choose what car u want to drive? @0:05 the truck in front of you is different from the van driving on the right. Idk why I would feel more comfortable driving the van
everyone start in vans then move to the trucks
Amazon drivers. Are you tied done to a full 8 hour shift. Or are there any drivers who are part time in afternoon. Like a 4 - 8. As a side hustle.
Depends on which DSP(group) you join, i think the latest ones that go in for my station was at 1pm & their routes be from 6-7 hours long
There are some drivers that are solely backup. No dedicated route but help others
fiat ducato in automatic gearbox XDDD its like driving prius in europ
So much fun dog
Was that a Fix It Again Tomorrow VAN¿
Do they give you a phone or gps or do u have to use ur own?
You are in my town lol I’m thinking about joining Amazon also Peruvian here
Assuuu. Lomo is so good!
Hello from Memphis Tennessee
yeah inca cola is from Peru.. im from Chile and I know that soda! enjoy!
It has a very interesting taste. I like it
Ever been to any of the wrestlemanias at metlife stadium?
I have not. Maybe I should someday
Amazon driver in Florida 200+ stops everyday with rescues and shit lol I like the job tho its chill
0:40 theres Violation Number 1. Driver distraction 🤣.
got me😂 I actually have never heard the camera say it to me though
@@LaosHouse usually only goes off if you’re actually holding the phone. Least in my experience
How long did take you too deliver all them packages?
Just did 150 stops today, worked from 11-8
Man I use to love this job.
Hopefully you found something better!
Lomo saltaldo 🔥🔥🔥
the best!
where is this place for the food ?
He just did a no no, packages in the front seat.
This job is fun. Today is my second day
8:51 bro let one loose
Where is this dsp? I’m in DYN5 in Caldwell
Where do I apply as an Amazon driver? Can I even go straight to a driver or do I need to build up to it? I know Amazon flex but that’s with my own car. I don’t want to use my own car.
you can go to the bottom of the amazon website (look for become a driver) or check out job sites like indeed, snagajob, ect
I go to Lomo like every week 😭
A peruvian checking in 😅.
Asuuu
what bag is that at 4:20 I need it!
I’m never using the Electric Van. The breaking system is weird
The cops do it the grandma's do it everyone does it except for the amazon drivers hahaha 😆 I'm going to start driving in PA in Levittown.
I'm glad you don't complain about having to porta potties and eat in your truck. I've seen some drivers act like they are expecting hour breaks and their own bathrooms. It's just part of the job.
Gatorade bottle can be your best friends if in a pinch
Porta potties? I piss in a bottle about 3 times a day every day. Been working for Amazon for 6 months so I’m used it by now
@@GeorgeCostanza_ i pull over and piss in the woods
@@pats768 I did that today, I was delivering in Mill Valley California near the Muir Woods national monument. 50mph wind gusts, heavy rain and low visibility. Took advantage of the opportunity to piss on the side of the road 😂
What area is your station? I’m west Caldwell
I drive 18 wheelers cross country and that's a hard thing to do
I’m turn 21 in the next coming weeks . And I’m looking to become a Amazon delivery driver. And I wanted to know what kinda questions do they ask you at the interview?
Basic job interview out the gate - tell us about yourself, tell us about your current/past job, what challenges did you have there, how did you overcome those challenges; then can you handle a lot of stress - a fair warning of the stress involved - can you drive a large van, lift, bend, twist, climb, etc. Don’t take it overly serious, but be ready for a fair warning about the stressfulness of delivery, as it came up about every other sentence in my experience.
Oh, and don’t be surprised if you’re not in a 1-on-1 office setting; be prepared to interview in a giant break room around a bunch of other drivers and warehouse workers. 😁
It's a shitty job bro, its not worth the money. They don't value the drivers at all.
90% of Amazon DSPs don’t even do an interview maybe some will do it over the phone. Apply on indeed with a BS resume you’ll get a text from a sketchy phone number instantly. They’ll do a background check and give you a link to a LabCorp for a drug test and you’ll start your 3 day Amazon training within the week.
@@LocalNomadd I had my interview the other day and the deciding factor was if you could able to create a brand new gmail account your hire
They will ask you when you can start. Mfs are so desperate for bodies it’s sad 😂
106 stops very light
are you allowed to stop for a pe?
Peru in the house
Do you still use the mentor app with the camera
I actually never touched the mentor app.
Bro, if I lived in NJ we'd be friends.
I wonder tho what happens when you finish all the deliveries do you go back early or do you just wait till your time is up
Generally, the dispatch center will locate another driver near you that is falling behind in their route and send you over to them to do a "rescue". Basically, you'll take a few totes from them to lighten their load and ensure all of the packages are delivered on-time. Sometimes though, the other drivers are all doing okay and you'll go home early!
@@novemberly.677 Dam it's the same crap I deal with in the sorting facility then
Food Coma. I would not finish my deliveries after eating that lunch.
