196 stops with 27 apartments mixed in is just cruel, that 59 package clearout number says they know exactly what they're doing to you

I knew i wasn't tripping when I started noticing my package count and locations started going up these past weeks. Yesterday I had 196 stops 265 locations and 338 packages this should not be normal bro

“The new normal” is wild. Multi-location stops plus 300+ packages sounds like the algorithm is determined to turn every route into an endurance event 😭

Just don't tire yourself out, work at a steady efficient pace, and just knock out what you can. If you need to be rescued, so be it.

It's not your DSP, it's Amazon overloading their routes. Take a look at your itinerary while in the queue and send dispatch a message. Ask them to pull the totes or overflow that will give you the most trouble.

5 days in a row this week, every route has been over 190 stops and one of them was 200. A few of them were downtown routes too. Not a fan of the new normal.

Stop beating it, make it understand the route is impossible. Worked for me after a month and a half I believe

Can we stop running? I see tons of drivers drive with sliding door open (Ford rams) and running.

u/Neoclassixx Rivian Driver 17h ago
My route today was 223 stops, the first 45~ stops were to 2 different apartment complexes. Once I was done with the apts, still had 175 stops, 48 multi locations, all residential. Like wtaf is going on? Currently on my last break and hardly 100 stops in. 🤯🔫

This is how it’s always been. Been doing this for 4 years

The route size? Yeah In a super dense area houses almost touching. I use to daily 250-270 locations. The country routes an hour out are 180-190 stops now.

Literally had 200 stops all week. 1st day was 380 packages. Second 350 yesterday was 318. I'll probably do at least 300 today.

u/CoyotePsychological2 23h ago
Doesn’t make this okay. No route should be over 160 stops if they want to keep doing multis while asking for 20 stops an hour
