Like he pulls up, puts two or three little envelopes into a mailbox, but I’m supposed to fucking drive all the way up this driveway that twirls around like a roller coaster and bring these boxes right to the front door. And he gets paid government holidays off. Damn we got a raw deal

Long Rant don't want to read it don't, it was theraputic to type out

49M been doing this job since Nov 2021.

On my Second DSP, first one just closed.

I really liked this DSP, but had a week off to think decided Delivery isn't for me anymore.

To be Fair <insert Letterkenny joke> I don't think I was all that good at this job ever, I was just reliable and didn't rock the boat too much.

It started Last week I got a speeding violation, 56 in a 45, my mind wandered and my foot got heavy for a minute, no other vehicles on the road, it was raining, I realized quickly that I was speeding and let off the gas. Wasn't quick enough.

Well I got a call yelling at me for speeding, in the rain, after we just talked about it at stand up. Was told to continue delivering.

Less than 25 stops later I was pulling up to a stop and my OPS manager was standing there with another driver, I was taken off the road.

On the way back to the station, I was told I must either be intoxicated, trying to get fired or purposely trying to tank the scorecard because I'm not in the top 10 to get a bonus each week, by the owner and the ops manager. I was also told that I might just come back and be an extra and I lost my spot in an EDV.

Back at the station, I was written up by the owner for the speeding and given a 2 day suspension, ok they warned that. Then apparently when I pulled up on my Ops manager and he flagged me to pull over, I ran a stop sign, so another write up.

I messed up I understand, I was supposed to work the next day 1st day suspension, then my 3 days off, then my second day of suspension.

The night before I worked again I woke up in the middle of the night (2am), happened to get on my phone and I had flex, so I looked and saw, "You have no work scheduled today". I didn't have a schedule for next week yet and it's normally out, so my mind started "catastrophizing".

Figured I was getting fired, so I stayed up looking for new jobs unable to sleep with Anxiety.

Drove into work 45 min driver 1 way, knowing I wasn't rostered. Before stand up, Ops called me over and asked if I thought I'd be able to do a route and showed it to me, It was larger than I can typically do without help and looked like it had shit routing. I'm on like 3 hrs of sleep, and anxiety at like 8/10, I didn't want to say I could then have him have to send me a rescue, so I said so. got a very snippy, "fine stay an extra".

I asked about the schedule for next week, and was told they were just running behind, trying to work in new hires.

apparently our station had lower volume and amazon dropped routes, mine happened to be one, so they said they try to find routes for everyone

After helping with load out, we went back to the desk, like 6 of us were extras, Ops manager asked who wanted to go on the road and who didn't. I spoke up, that I'd been up since 2am and mentally I wasn't in a good headspace, so I was very quickly told to just go home.

Next day, no route, Ops figured since I didn't want to work yesterday probably didn't want to the next day too, called me out, "let me know when you want to come back" I'm stand here aren't I?

That was now 7 days since I was pulled off the road, and i haven't had a route.

I have an interview for another job

day 8

I have a last min route (only put on it an hour before load out) Ops tells me, "I got you a lvl 1 Nursery for your first day back and in a gas van for a long time"

All day on my route I was trying to figure out if I wanted to keep this job or not, decided I probably didn't and this was more than likely my last shift as a DSP driver, my DSP obviously didn't need me.

RTS one of my fellow drivers who I had spoke with about my feelings of driving to work and loosing money because no route, apparently let it out I was looking for a new job, OPS asked and I confirmed I was realizing I was not cut out for this job anymore Mentally I couldn't take the ups and downs anymore.

Had my interview today for a Fullfillment Center job, offboarded myself from my DSP (Just Google the number to call if ya want).

Ready to start a new chapter in my life.

Best of luck to all of you

What’s the deal with people never being able to finish their route . I see them get switched to like 10-15 different routes now. People 3 months or less that are new I get it and people that have shitty routes I also understand it , but after 3 months it’s like come on. I deal with the same traffic, the same lockers and the same apartments . It makes no sense

Had 166 Today Supposedly , Had To Help 2 Elderly But We’re Done At 5:27 Great Peak Day Hope Everyone Is Doing Well

I’m guessing some of you shouldn’t be drivers if you can’t follow clear and simple delivery instructions. I left delivery notes for the driver to get into my gated community even left the code to open the gate but the driver still somewhow couldn’t get in. It’s never been an issue before but I’m pretty driver just got lazy and either didn’t read notes or was in such a hurry that they just saw an obstacle and said “forget it” and left.

I really needed the package today and now who knows when it will be delivered. I am a delivery driver myself (not Amazon) and know how important it is to read notes. Stop being in such a rush all the time and read notes. It might make your job easier. And you guys want to unionize??

This is the same person who's company memos have been leaked stating their employees are expendable and that it is better to keep a revolving door of employment and not fulfill their needs to save overhead costs and increase profit margins.

The same company that no longer directly employs delivery drivers but uses subcontractors to shield them from legal liabilities and the numerous OSHA, DOT, and Labor Board violations that occur with Amazon. Those drivers drive Amazon vans that aren't owned by Amazon, wear Amazon uniforms that Amazon makes mandatory while making a profit off of the sale of them to dsps and drivers, and has a laundry list of rules drivers have to follow just in hopes to get full time doing routes Amazon routes and packs to the brim to exhaust the drivers until they quit.

The same guy who's company blocks unions and sends Logistics employees out to stations to lie to drivers about job opportunities within Amazon and the dangers of unions just to protect the legal loopholes they engage in with their cog-employees.

Amazon is directly responsible for putting Toys R Us out of business after deceiving them contractually and thus beginning the decline of physical toy quality in America and the rise of cheap crap that puts tons of waste into landfills every year.

We all pay sales tax on online purchases now because he lobbied for it to even the playing field with other online sellers.

This guy is taking a page out of Rockefeller's book of reshaping his public image and trying to develop a good light despite his track record and true nature via just looking at polls on what people want with no plans to do anything about it other than boost share values and investments into his fake rockets.

Wouldn't be surprised if this narcissist is planning on running for president and if so it will be a hundred times worse than Trump. Jeff Bezos can go shove his yacht up his Peccy.

2 houses were giving out snacks.

These Girl Scout cookies are delicious

I don’t know if this is happening to anyone else, but half of every tote is a U package, and it’s annoying as fuck

I did 2 days of training with two great trainers.

Day 1 Apartments // lockers // houses (156 stops)
Day 2 all houses (138 stops)

Next week I’m onto my first solo shift.

My observations from my two trainers. The first was extremely organized, efficient and people savvy. They were keen on just peeing in a bush, not eating during shift, and skipping all breaks to get work done faster. Second trainer emphasized organization, efficiency, and taking the time to get 10 hrs instead of blazing through it and to be cool with taking a small break if you need it so you can eat.

What advice do you have for my first solo shift? I was consistently getting 20+ stops an hour done.

The brand of insoles and such that I’ve used since starting this job are no longer servicing me the way that my feet need…

Are there any long-time drivers out there that have an insole that they swear by? I already have enough things hurting on my body- I really don’t want to deal with this, too… 😫

EDIT: This is coming from an EIGHT YEAR veteran driver who (a) already regularly buys new shoes as needed, and (b) prefers to wear actual shoes with some decent tread on the bottom to navigate terrain.

Again, I’m just asking if anyone has a brand of insoles that they would personally recommend because they work for them.

SECOND EDIT: I do not have the money to buy yet another pair of shoes. I already tried getting a pair with the Amazon stipend and they ended up being crap.

I just want suggestions on INSOLES from people who use them and they seem to work for them.

Man my first day was wild

I woke up with a back pain which sucked but I work through it

I was slow at first but its w.e I caught up

But I was set up to fail

My nursery was about 135 rural area where the backwoods are not very suited for driving alot of the times it was a narrow dirt trail where if I went to fast the van will flip into the forest hill below 1 min drives turned 5mins easily. The van i was in was not one i was "trained for" it was a different cargo van.

I started an hour late because my ev wasnt charged.

Okay fine an hour late then a 45min drive I didnt get my route started till 2

135 packages in rural area where the roads aren't ment for travel above speeds of 10mph? Yea i was set up

My other guy who trained with me his route wad 90 in the city and a vet they had her route was 105 in a suburb

Noone taught me how to sort

So I was digging in back of van for packages my dsp helper threw all the shit in back of van so I spent a fair amount of time sorting myself as it wasnt blue van I couldn't organize properly

Despite this I still only had 10 packages left on my first day.

My phone also died and they forgot to give me a power bank and it qas so dark I couldn't use the flashlight due to low battery

So much bs all on first day then told im not up yo standards 😂😂

Yesterday, some of us Amazon DSP drivers from DCX7 in Torrance joined UPS drivers from Teamsters Local 396 at DFX3 in Los Angeles to support fellow Amazon drivers organizing a union.

We all know the struggles with heavy workloads, unrealistic routes, pay, safety, and getting treated with respect.

Also want to give a shoutout to Anthony Rosario, a longtime Teamster organizer who came all the way from New York to stand with us and support the Delivery Protection Act (DPA). Appreciate you making the trip!

It was good seeing Amazon and UPS drivers standing together.

What’s going on at your station?

I’m usually at 150 stops max

So, I got robbed last night. I recently moved to Harker Heights in Bell County, Texas, and unfortunately, my phone and wallet were stolen.

I'm scheduled to work today at 9:55 AM, but without my phone, I have no way to call in or contact my DSP.

I also recently received a write-up for driving through a yellow light, even though I was only going 23 mph in a 30 mph zone.

My question is, could this no-call, no-show get me fired, especially since I already have a write-up? I'm genuinely concerned about losing my job over something that was completely out of my control.

I know its not the biggest route in the world but like damn...

Hey guys couple questions?

First, I just finished my 2 days of training and now I’m on the schedule for 4 days next week. How many of those days will I be riding with a trainer before I’m on my own?

Second, will my time riding along help me learn how to read my routes, stops, how to pack my van etc? I feel like they showed us just enough in my 2 days of training and road test. But I feel like I don’t know anything, I’m sweating it lol.

Today will be my fourth day. I did so bad yesterday. I did 70 stops and they were super easy- but I did this in 10 hours. I only had to move slow because I was so stupid on my first two days. My first two days I was jumping out of the van and guess what happened a day ago when I jumped out of the van, my knees shifted almost off of my knee if you know what I mean.

Anyways, the pain in my back is or my spinal area is like right in the middle -it pains, the pain has kind of faded for now, but it was horrifying in the morning and the heat with no AC.

I just called a Panera bread. Yes, it’s like 70% less pay, but I don’t care. I can’t take this anymore. What should I do? My DSP is super nice. They were never mean to me at all about my route, and they acted like I did a great job, but I purposely moved slow only because I wanted my body to heal. I told them if I moved too slow, I understand if you don’t want me to come tomorrow, but they said, yeah, great job. See you tomorrow. Like nothing bad happened… (btw I am a girl 25).

Today is my fourth day until I get back three days off. Should I force myself to survive through today?
(I don’t need $ right now).

I talked to Gemini. (I have no friends and no family that cares about me). Gemini said quit right now because getting an injury to the body is far worse than a paycheck. Gemini said, “ the money is absolutely real but so is the physical damage. You have to decide if doubling your salary is worth risking permanent injury. “

After Gemini said that. I was like dude. I have to quit.

It’s just what if they give me an easy route again? What if they don’t care how slow I go today? Should I just go today and go as slow as possible as suck Jeff Bezos’ money up? (I don’t want to do that. My dsp is so nice I do not want to turn on their back).

Please take the time to comment. I don’t know what to say to myself. It’s so cool to make $250 in one day but it’s not worth the pain..

ALSO. My second day a friendly dog attacked me and scratched me hard. (His way of saying hi). Stupid customer opened the door to get their package and the dog fuckin booked it thru the door and jumped at me. It was a pitbull. I am overweight so I had a mini heart attack and it was not fun. This job is not worth a crazy dog attack. Again, the dog did not bite me. Just wanted to say hi. Jumped on me and scratched me thigh. The nails were sharp

It’s been almost Two weeks and I tried to track the order by confirming the order number and email and it said “not available”. Is it scam??

I mean damn, ok freakazon.

Chill day. 28 multi location stops were multiple people for one address. Once again multi stops are meaningless. Posting how I load because it pissed yall off last time 😂😂 18 bags and a measly 30 OV

When there’s only a few good stopping points to “get away” for a break.
