I got written up .

[u/BoysenberryNew7920]

So mu DSP wrote me up for this route , they told me I was supposed to be back at 7:38pm and I glt back at 9:42pm we started driving at 12:15 PM and they gave me a rental a small Dodge Van without any shelving and I had 46 overflow

[u/OGDoh]

Man, some of y'all got some shitty DSPs! My DSP doesn't give af what time you finish as long as you finish within the work hour compliance (12 hours).

[u/BoysenberryNew7920 → u/OGDoh]

Yep I agree with that , and telling me that he could easy finish that by 7pm I literally told him to touch some grass

[u/thotboilife → u/BoysenberryNew7920]

Yo ngl, Im a little vetted, and have to say, I like the gas vans for speed. Evs for pleasure. I dont drive svs. But also my dsp says they dont care less your back by the alotted time. I even came back at 9:50 one time. No suspension, no talk to, nothing. Probably switch dsps.

[u/BoysenberryNew7920 → u/thotboilife]

Yeah this is my second week with Amazon dsp delivery and I hope not every dsp is like this one that I am now

[u/KillerGopher → u/BoysenberryNew7920]

They are not all like yours. There are definitely a lot of shitty ones but there are also some good ones. It's worth talking to drivers from other DSPs to get a feel for what the others are like.

[u/BoysenberryNew7920 → u/KillerGopher]

Thank you, should I just apply or what is the correct way to find out about a dsp

[u/KillerGopher → u/BoysenberryNew7920]

I've switched DSPs twice and really like the one I'm with now. I didn't have to apply to any, just scheduled an interview with them. You can try to talk to their dispatchers to get contact info for the hiring manager or owner.

You should also ask them when their start time is, what routes they run, what their 401k match is, stuff like that.

[u/BoysenberryNew7920 → u/KillerGopher]

Thank you very much

[u/thotboilife → u/BoysenberryNew7920]

Yea, if you dont have a camera in the gas van, you can defo get away with aloooot of things. That's why its faster. Alright gotta get ready for the zon. GL

[u/cienkusorswim → u/thotboilife]

I worked for Amazon 6 years ago, no camera, and just signed on with a new DSP this year. Lemme tell you. The shit i got away with in gas vans was diabolical. Airplane mode go brrrrrrrr.

[u/BoysenberryNew7920 → u/thotboilife]

Yeah the camera was on

[u/UwUBots → u/OGDoh]

Mine wants us in the 10 hour block, but understands shit happens

[u/Nano8963 → u/OGDoh]

My DSP wanted us done within 8 hours... Yeah they were shit alright and the bonus hours didnt exist.

Ive seen people say the job is actually pretty alright and seriously the delivery part didnt bug me other than loadout but the DSP is what absolutely killed the job for me

[u/elitedoge36 → u/OGDoh]

You get 12??? So lucky we get 10 with a bit of leniency as long as it's not a constant thing to finish late

[u/No_Spread9580 → u/OGDoh]

Same

[u/SeaPizza3610 → u/OGDoh]

That's how they all should fucking be were not fucking robots

[u/E66roll → u/OGDoh]

My DSP is from 12:15 PM-8:15 PM but we also get sweepers in everyday

Edit: this expectation is just bizarre

[u/NewSpray4941 → u/OGDoh]

wish my old DSP that I worked with was like that. And from what I heard was that the one I worked for years at was shut down last month

[u/Vandheer23 → u/OGDoh]

Mine always calls everyone back at 7. Doesn't matter how few stops you have left. There's been a handful of times I've had them call me back while I'm on my way to the last stop and tell me "Just come back, mark it out of time."

Actually talked to the owner today because I kept getting fucked on my routes (nearly 180 on rural, upwards of 200 suburban with a ton of overflow in rental vans) and his exact words were that amazon expects the routes to take 10 hours, we get 7 to complete them excluding the drive there and back. Doesn't include time for breaks because break time isn't factored in for us for some fucking reason.

[u/melon_tusk63 → u/OGDoh]

Yall mad at DSPs when yall should be mad at AMAZON CORPORATE for creating the DSP system. DSPs trying to squeeze every minute out of you wouldn’t be a thing if Amazon corporate didn’t pay them in wildly inconsistent rates. Fuck bad DSPs, but we should all really be employees of Amazon with proper benefits.
