    I just finished training and was creeped out by the cameras- they made it clear that not only are they watching your driving habits, but they kinda publicly shame you by posting everyone’s “scores” at the end of the week and you can see how everyone did. I guess it is good that if you get in an accident they can prove it isn’t your fault, but I don’t think monitoring the cab is necessary.

It would tell me to deliver to a house and on the app the next stop after that I would DRIVE BY to get to the original stop they sent me to 😂

I decided to go with Customer service job working from home paying $17 an hour.

    I currently am a DSP driver for Amazon and although these are true I don’t think it is hard at all. I guess it really does depend on the DSP you work for mine is very chill and as long as you follow the rules it is not hard at all just not meant for certain people. I don’t take my 15 min breaks I use them to drive to where I want to take my lunches. Just stay organized and have water and you’ll be alright!

    • @fatbroccoli8
      @fatbroccoli8 Před rokem +13

      Yeah it's easy, the only stuff that's hard is if you have to deliver to an area that's a pain in the ass, like downtown LA like I used to, also there's quite a few Karen's around these days which are annoying sometimes but if you don't go slow and follow driving rules then it's easy and your DSP/Amazon won't really care what you do as long as you get the work done... she makes it sound way worse than it is imo

      @@brandonamthor I agree with Fat Broccoli. It’s an easy job, until you get to those really condensed places like in LA. In the video she makes it seem like it’s very physical but in my opinion it isn’t, the van carries everything, the phone takes all the work, all you have to do is drive and get the package from the van walk about 15 feet and drop off the package. She also makes it seem like driving is a pain, just follow the rules/laws and you won’t have an issue. Now regarding the breaks, my DSP specifically has told us that we are not allowed to take out breaks and lunches at the same time

      I work at an amazon dsp facility as a warehouse worker. Induction, stow, all that good stuff. When the vans are being loaded we are all there to help if needed. Drivers normally are loaded in and then out of the building within 15 mins so it's hardly a hard job at all. When you get down to the brass tax. There isn't a job at Amazon that is hard. Load out is way less hassle than she makes it out to be. You aren't scanning in each of those 2-300 packages. You are scanning a bag that contains them.

    Excellent video. I drive for FedEx Express and share many of these experiences and concerns. We have a little less intense time pressure and monitoring. We are also FedEx employees.
    My only advice is to always pack your lunch and keep it light - simple protein drinks (watch for sugar levels), bananas, protein bars, plenty of cold water. This way you spend all 30 minutes for your break. And know where the best bathrooms are to refresh (office lobbies, restaurants etc.). Great footwear and socks, and a good rechargeable LED flashlight are essential.
    Good luck Shaleen the Queen - I already know you are a great driver!

    I love all the information you gave on becoming an Amazon Driver/ Delivery person! Just a word of advice when you're working on a time frame. Pray. Take your time but don't waste time. Keep moving as much as you can with what you're familiar with and slow down a bit for anything new to learn. Use a foldable wagon or cart to deliver faster. Would be nice if whoever you're working for could contact the customer in advance at least by text, so they'll know you're coming. A physical job like yours is a blessing too as long as know how to pick up and lower packages without hurting your back .

    One of the worst spots to be in starting a route is not having any idea where or why your loader loaded packages where he did. I worked for UPS for 10 years drove for 5 and my worst days by far it's by far we're having a loader in the morning not caring or knowing how to load the truck. That huge pain can also be a blessing when you're out there on the road. I'm thinking about starting delivery for Amazon at the moment I deliver For spark out of my car. Thank you for your videos and we'll see how my over the phone interview goes today. I can't see me working for Amazon for a long period of time though I am not naive in the sense that there are one of the most evil corporations that this planet has ever seen I'm sure the neocons and global us are good friends with the company That is helping keep people inside and construct a new way of living through their eyes. I know feel sick to my stomach thinking about working for Amazon. I don't judge anybody but myself and I can't feel good about myself for expending period of time working for a group of rich that hate humanity and there part in capturing it.

    I tried Amazon flex and it was horrible compared to food delivery apps. They give you like 40 different packages and you need to load and scan them in your car. When you reach a stop its usually a maze like apartment with no parking. You need to press all kinds of codes to get in and walk around the apartment complex looking for the apt #. The packages aren't organized you just have to dig through the 40 packages they give you. When theres no parking you need to park far away back and forth just to drop off 1 package. My shift was 5-8 but I didn't finish till 11pm because of all the walking. I've never worked so hard for $80. Was a horrible experience I'm pretty traumatized by it. 😖😖😖

    I worked for Amazon in Vegas in 100+ weather which was not a fun experience and this is a physical job! My advice to anyone working this job is to tell you this isn’t really a long term job. But what made it easier was to really organize your packages from numerical order and know how to plan your itinerary throughout the day. Our routes were infested with business stops and some business closed earlier than others and were set to be delivered towards the end of the itinerary when it should be delivered first. Where I delivered the routes were not perfect and all over the place so my biggest advice is to know how organize your van and know your route. I don’t work there no more so good luck to everyone who does! Everyone drive safe and stay hydrated!

    I'm really jealous of those who actually have a break. I'm 5 or 6 weeks in and have never had a break here in the UK. I get between 100 and 140 stops (Some of them grouped) with a 40 minute drive to first stop and another 40 back from my last stop. Have only just the last couple of weeks started to complete them in the time given without working too late or needing a rescue (been rescued 3 or 4 times in total for about 10-20 stops each time). I've had no breaks whatsoever and eat, drink or smoke on the move if there's a 5 minute drive between stops at any point. I enjoy the work, but can't see me ever having a half hour break lol

    Some workers that have been there a while should be the ones that become managers and train new ppl. Some managers at some delivery stations (I can't speak for DSPs because I haven't driven yet.) But at least some veteran workers that see you may be struggling will actually help you out and give you pointers instead of a manager getting in your face about what you're doing wrong or comparing you to somebody else he thinks is better.

  • @blatantly_unknown7813
    @blatantly_unknown7813 Před 2 lety +26

    Worked for a logistics amazon company and they expect you to be flash when delivering these packages. If you take the breaks, you’re done for, you’ll be behind. If you deliver “door to door “ like your “supposed to” you’ll get behind. Or even take the time to call customers that have no secure place to deliver packages. You’re behind. This is why so many drivers don’t deliver “correctly “ if you take the time to deliver correctly you’ll be behind.
    Another thing, no warning what so ever. If you’re not up to their par, you’re fired. As they like to call it “let go”. Not salty, but this is also some things i wish i knew before trying to deliver door to door and also taking pics of the packages like you’re “supposed” to do, for amazon.

    I worked here for 9 months.
    I left because I was fatigued after those months. Plus I was burnt out and unhappy with my supervisors and their fibs about future pay. Plus no one cleaned up after themselves.
    In the beginning I was fast and learned a lot about how to manage my day well.
    Over time, however, I kept getting rescued more and more by my fellow drivers. They kept saying I was doing better than a lot of folks, but I sure didn’t feel like it.
    I eventually put in my two weeks and my supervisors, upon hearing, said “Oh that’s too bad. You were one of our best ones” (again, I sure didn’t feel like it). Good news is that they said I have an open seat if I ever decided to return, but…..
    I really don’t want to. So I’m done. This is hard work for such little pay (in my area… though I heard they bumped it up after I left 🤦‍♂️. It’s okay. New experiences await).

I did when I worked the Amazon warehouses. But I start my DSP Amazon job soon I hope I don’t feel this way you feel after time goes on but it’s inevitable because that’s how I always feel in the end.

    Thank you for a very interesting video.
    For the last 4+ years, I have been a recruiter and interviewer for a family-owned DSP. I inform & STRESS to ALL candidates that this is a very active job. I also inform them that the drivers load their own vehicles, and that they will be jumping in and out of their van 200-300+ times each work day depending on package count. We normally run 40-50 routes daily. Some days could be less and some days definitely more. I inform them of starting hourly pay, bonus availability, benefits, and paid time off. Our DSP owner has been in the package delivery business for 23 straight years and is the only DSP owner in the city with this much consistent experience. This is also why Amazon uses his often in their Mentor program.
    ALL candidates are fully aware of all of the above during their interviews. We want all potential candidates to be fully aware of the nature of this job before they ever accept a job offer. Shaleen, you are absolutely correct in that all DSP's vary widely, which is probably why I interview many candidates who are either currently or have previously worked for a DSP and have experienced unpleasant conditions or policies where they work.
    In all that you do, I wish you well.
