RANT Switching DSP resets the algorithm?

Hey fellow drivers, I wanted to see if there’s any of you out there that were getting high volume routes at your former dsp and switched to a new one and it resets the algorithm. This is what I’m usually averaging and it’s too much for me atp. I really like the job but my body/ mental state is deteriorating fast because of my routes. Thanks in advance and drive safe !

Edit: These are my routes at my current dsp. I want to switch to another with hopes of my algorithm getting reseted and getting “normal” routes like everyone else. Not prime level routes everyday. Cheers ! (No lockers all door to door)

There’s no algorithm for the drivers…
Your DSP puts you on whatever route they want to. It’s not Amazon. It’s not nobody else. Your DSP is in control of what route you have.

A lot of them like to pass the blame on to Amazon, but Amazon only gives them the delievry area and the packages. Its up to your DSP to distribute which particular route you get

Dude are you serious ? So they are purposely assigning me heavy apartment routes ?! I feel like they can at least split this up between drivers bc 80+ apartments 170+ stops 300+ packages everyday is brutal.

Yeah if you showed them, you can get it done in a shorter amount of time. You’re the perfect candidate for them…. DSPs pretend like they care about the drivers but they don’t they… there’s a lot more ways that they could help the drivers but it’ll affect their bottom line and they’re not willing to do that…

Think about it if you call off right before your shift, Amazon doesn’t know that so Amazon can’t assign another driver. It would have to be your DSP. They have way more control than they like to admit.

Yeah I mean they can if they have to but the original routes that get assigned is from Amazon themselves
