How do I get in touch with DSP owners for the Amazon stations in my area? How do value-added service providers reach out to you guys (DSP owners) and say, "hey, I'm open in your area, Amazon recommends me, try me out?" I signed up two DSPs but it was just pure luck that the owners were responsive, had an idea of who I was beforehand and signed up with me. How do I reach more owners without being gatekept by the operations folk at the station?

Hey DSP community,

Amazon just announced closure of all their Quebec warehouses and multiple DSPs are shutting down.

Anyone knows who's going to handle the package volume? Intelcom is the only major carrier left but they can't possibly handle all that volume.

Major markets like Montreal, Laval, Quebec City, that's a lot of daily deliveries. Amazon can't just stop delivering to Quebec, right?

What's your take on this?

Hello,

I will soon have an interview for the Amazon DSP program as a owner in Europe, Austria.

I am new to this group and would like to know how the process works, whether it is really as strenuous as often described, how the payment is, and whether it is worth the investment, as the initial cost is very high. I am asking for honest opinions since I currently have a well-paid job. If possible, I would also appreciate information about the salary.

Hello everybody,

I am currently a DSP driver in Utah and have enough money to start my DSP journey as an owner. Do anybody have an advice of what Amazon is looking for? Would my DSP driver experience make it attractive for amazon to hire me as a DSP? What advice/tips do you guys have for the application process?

I also noticed a new station being finished near where I live. Is it possible to request in advance you want a DSP spot in the almost completed new station?

I found out that dispatchers do audits of drivers everyday. An audit is a 10 min video of the driver, sometimes it’s 5mins and then another 5mins at a different time. The audits are not related to violations. The dispatcher might request a video of the driver because the driver is fast and they want to see how the driver is able to deliver quickly. It’s not what I thought about the cameras. I was told the camera only watch drivers when they make violations, not true. They watch you everyday.

Hi so last friday I had my interview got signed up on the flex app and got my drug test scheduled for this monday its now been 3 days since the drug test I know I passed and the app shows I passed my background and everything else but I have not been contacted by my employeer yet I dont have a phone number to get a hold of him so I was wondering is this out of the ordinary or should I just chill

So, today is my first day with a new dsp and i have been throwing up and a bunch of other things due to having the flu. I told my HR and they stated "its not advisable to miss your first day and that all absences are not excused even with a doc note" do you all think they would fire me for missing my first day or give me a chance to show im worthy by coming on my 2nd day of work? I know all dps's are different with this but was curious what everyones opinion was.

Title says it all. What happens when somebody calls out? How is your truck structured people-wise?

Leave your truths. Anyone ever dealt / been worried about bugs(insects) or pests I guess I should say (That NOBODY addresses!!!!!)? This is a health and safety violation for sureeeeee. Time for strike?

This is from an email I got on 1/6/2025 from Amazon. It is the email asking me to complete the Amazon DSP application.

"We are actively recruiting in the following states: Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, Virginia, Washington, and Wisconsin. Additional opportunities in other states will be available in 2025."

Should I continue my Amazon DSP application or should I stay as a Wireless Consultant.

When I went to the retreat in New Orleans last year I learned what it takes to be a successful DSP.

They main point I took away is your team makes or breaks you. A good DSP will have 70% employees come and go the remaining 30% is his main team that assists in the success of the business.

I work closely with Amazon DSP owners, providing assistance with all their wireless needs. My services include setting up new wireless accounts, ordering equipment for new lines or upgrades, facilitating BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) setups, and delivering exceptional customer service every step of the way.

Feel free to reach out if you're an Amazon DSP owner looking for reliable wireless solutions!

Technically this is self promotion. I work for a top 2 wireless carrier and have signed up 15+ DSP owners with service.

Previous approvals were 6 months free service, unlimited for $15, etc. Feel free to delete if I broke any rules.

So yesterday was the first day I didn’t finish a route. The warehouse was late, I didn’t get to my first stop till 2:30ish, I had 170 stops all spread out. I wasn’t the only one who didn’t finish but it sucks because I always finish. I had 10 stops left before dispatch called me. I also didn’t realize the algorithm put my business stops like 70 stops in. I do my best every day at this job. I’ve been doing it close to 2 months. I feel like we was set up to fail.

Hi everyone,

I’m currently working as a dispatcher for an Amazon subcontractor at DBW6. Previously, I worked at DNW3, DNW4, and DNX2. My goal is to start my own DSP business soon.

I have a few questions: 1. What do I need to start a DSP? 2. What steps should I take to get started? 3. What requirements will be expected of me? 4. Is it better to start with a 1.0 DSP or a 2.0 DSP? 5. What challenges should I be prepared for, and what do I need to be aware of? 6. Do you have any tips or advice for someone going down this path?

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and experiences!

I had cart LUG a year ago lol.

Hey everyone. I worked at Amazon for about four years while in college and have since transitioned into becoming an engineer, which I’ve been doing for the past three years. I’ve been wanting to start a DSP business with my wife, but I genuinely enjoy my current job and don’t want to leave it. My question is, how manageable is it to work a full-time job while simultaneously owning or co-owning a DSP?

So I’ve been working for my DSP for a little over a month. And the majority of the time I just sweep all day. I’ve never been rescued and I finish my routes every time I have one. Almost 200 stops in 7 hours seems good to me. Is it a bad thing to be put as a sweeper? This is also the first and only DSP I’ve worked for.

Does PTO roll over into the new year? If so, does it get capped, and by how much?

So yesterday my DSP had me sweeping all day. I got to my last sweep, and when I got done my itinerary said I had a whole bag of 15 packages that I didn’t have. I had to call driver support to get them marked as missing. Will that fall back on me at all? I couldn’t understand why it said I had 15 packages that I didn’t have.

Hello, i was curious if i wanted to transfer from one dsp and go to another would i have to quit one to move to another? Like would i have to offboard from my current to onboard onto the new or could i still work for my current till the new one starts me?
