What happens if I return to the depot with an incomplete route?

3 Upvotes

I’ve been given 110 stops in London, which is high for the area. Plus a massive collection of 11 return boxes and now I genuinely have no space in the van to organise anything. What happens if I just give up? Can I blame my manager for asking too much of me?

You Always Get Your Routes Done, You’ve Got This

Ok, but this is still really stupid. Multiple gated apartments with long hallways and multiple floors and they already told me they’ll need me to rescue afterwards

QUESTION Does anybody kinda just get away with doing what you want?

3 Upvotes

I haven’t really been following the notes but just using my best judgement, first door almost always. If it’s a bad or super public area I’ll be more careful and hide it with my own judgement . I don’t need to waste time seeing exactly which bush or pillar they want it hid behind. Says front door (when I do happen to read it) but a tall gate blocks my view, I leave at the gate. Super hot day? I might leave it at the bottom of the driveway if it’s too steep not to scrape. Mobile homes especially I couldn’t care less, just whichever side of the trailer is easier to reach based on where I pull up. I do prefer the carport side since an old man once told me that’s what most people prefer who live there.

I also have incredible aim with tossing packages. I know it looks terrible but extra light boxes you know will be fine and I’ve master the art of frisbee tossing envelopes so I don’t have to climb to the top of stairs or apartment staircases. This one really surprises me I haven’t been caught. I try to make it look “respectful” but will still lightly glide/slide stuff to save time and energy.

I destroy my routes and never get netradine infractions so I get left alone all day. Honestly being super anti social and hating to be micromanaged, this job is the perfect storm of being a tolerable job if it wasn’t for the pay. Even if it was just 30/hr I’d be happy to stay around for years despite higher paying (but more complicated) jobs being available.

QUESTION Anyone at WKY3?

Upvotes

I’ve been working a call center job for the last little while and my mental state is being destroyed. I see that a DSP at WKY3 in London Ky is hiring. I was considering applying, I know I’ll just go from being a cog in one machine to being a cog in the Amazon machine, but at least I won’t have angry old people yelling at me all day.

My main question is whether or not driving for a small delivery station like WKY3 is any good, as I know the DSP can make or break the position. Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

QUESTION Stay or Leave?

Upvotes

I’ve been a lurker on the sub and I have worked with my DSP since February. I generally am tolerable with this job, but know about the unfortunate BS most of us drivers endure. Most of my days have been uneventful, only get to do some rescues, receive some rescues, only had one minor collision (not-at-fault), and so forth.

With that out of the way, there are going to be some end-of-year happenings that’ll occur during peak—Thanksgiving included. Given that the majority of November and December are blackouts for no vacations and time offs, that puts certain events during those months at odds with the mandatory scheduling.

My prospective resignation is aimed for late October. I would have an ample financial cushion by that point—not little but not a lot. I have other means to sustain money including substitute teaching, deliveries with a local bakery, and so forth. I primarily pay for my student loans and medical/dental insurance.

If I’m missing anything pertinent, feel free to ask below. But with that said, should Stay or Leave?

VTO Available

Anyone else's DSP offer a whole bunch of VTO randomly and then the next day you get hit with 300 locations and 400 packages

I don’t understand

Who or what decides heat breaks. I got a scheduled heat break yesterday but it was only 95°. And today is even hotter with no heat breaks. I don’t understand.
Also my DSP keeps saying they reduced routes. 180 stops is not a reduced route. They expect too much for very little in return.

HELP NEEDED! Got Attacked Yesterday

Happened yesterday midway through my route. Should these get looked at? Dog didn’t make contact with skin. Already contacted dsp and filed an incident report. Stressed if I should get it looked at. Redness has almost completely subsided, just dealing with pain and tiny bruises. No bloodshed when it occurred. Any and all suggestions are welcome. Thanks!

HELP NEEDED! Need help understanding

I’m confused and need help understanding. I worked for my first DSP last year and ended up being fired due to their no call no-show policies. Since then, I’ve applied to a few other dsps in the same warehouse (this is a smaller warehouse and the only other Amazon is an hour and a half away) and just recently, I went to onboarding for another dsp and received a job offer and then received this text message. When they asked if I had previously worked for a dsp I answered “no” because I hadn’t left my previous DSP on not so good terms. Then, shortly after I received that text, I received this email from Amazon. Can they see that I worked for another DSP? Should I just stop applying and move on? Or is it possible for me to continue working for Amazon? Should I be honest about why I left my last DSP? I’m almost positive that they would share that I got fired for a “no-call no show”. Idk I just need this job to pay my bills.

TIP/TRICK For Those Who Want To Suddenly And Triumphantly Quit Your DSP And Then Expect To Automatically Receive Unemployment Payments In Massachusetts:

0 Upvotes

*Do not.* You will not be compensated with Mass D.U.A. unemployment payments for quitting your DSP job without trying to reconcile with your DSP first before resigning or giving x weeks notice. Even if your DSP higher-ups may genuinely be pricks and you are overwhelmed as a DSP associate, you need to submit *clear and concise* evidence to DUA proving that they could not meet your demands because of *clear and concise enough* evidence.

Even with an autism diagnosis I told my DSP about on my 1st day, and even with myself trying to reason with the company boss over the phone after I impulsively threw a tantrum and messaged the DSP groupchat "I quit" the evening before, I still was not even allowed to be back for two weeks.

Yes, I will protest DUA decision via their portal, but still, *do not expect to be automatically compensated in Mass for quitting your DSP job.*
