  • In this video, I share my experience as an Amazon Flex driver on my first day. I talk about the struggles I faced while trying to deliver packages and how I overcame them. If you’re thinking about becoming an Amazon Flex driver, this video will give you an idea of what to expect on your first day.

    The employee that work at amazon that you pick packages from wasn't paying attention and put those packages in wrong area. It has happened to me I just returned them that same day or next morning if I got another block. On your app it should show the customer name and type packages your suppose to drop off. I usually separate my packages for example all my boxes go in my trunk so it's easier for me to type packages I need to delivered.

      My first day was a whole foods block. I had quit my dsp that morning right before loading because I had already complained about how late in the day we started, and when I got there, dispatch told me we were starting 45 minutes later. I laughed and said yall starting then... I'm done. I had the flex block before I left the parking lot and the stops were all on my way home. It worked out perfectly.

    Now just imagine 200 stops, 280 locations and 500 packages. Stepvan that is 130 degrees and when it is 110 out. Yep sucks to be us.

      My dsp experience has terrible. Had me in the sticks, load up was at noon so we burned so much daylight in the later months, and the vans were poorly maintained/ we had to sit 6+ hours when there were issues.

    So you decided to stay working at Amazon as a flex driver? Looking forward to seeing your new videos as well.

      Yes. I signed up for flex a few years ago, and decided while I’m looking for another job, I will do flex on the side until then.
      It was rough but 10x better than doing a full route with 150 plus stops. Lmao 🤣
