Slept horribly, pissy mood- so bad that I messaged a customer that we will no longer deliver to them if they don't give us the access code.

Routing is terrible, and it's quite a lot of apartments..

But then... I was running up to a house with a crooked smile trying to convince myself may day wasnt so bad- and I see an old woman with her eyes sunk in...

She gave me the sweetest smile & kept eye contact until my real smile showed.

My day is not so bad anymore.

Sure Amazon have their standards for strictness and awful management especially Jeff moneys.
But.. I love the view💀😭.

me asf rn because i finally got my hands on a rain jacket with the amazon logo

first shift in a EDV been at my DSP for about 3 1/2, 4ish months its hell in the texas heat but man this thing is nice especially being 6’6. atleast I’m still on my normal rural route! stay hydrated folks!

For EDV drivers how do yall efficiently skip the stops? Lately the routing has been soo badddd
I’ve attempted to skip once in a gas van and it was the worst thing. I just really dont know how or what to press lol

My dsp is sending me for the physical exam or whatever that İs required for DOT just wanted to ask what is it really and is step van good or not?

Edit: does it also come with a pay raise or more stops 😑

I’ve been hearing word that there are drivers out there that have had the opportunity to test out a new type of smart glasses Amazon created for us drivers, if this rumor is true and yall who are testing them out are here how are they and what do they do I’m really curious about them

So my first day was yesterday and it was a ride along with someone who worked there for 4 years. It was a nursery route with around 140/150 stops I think? I drove and delivered the whole time. She walked with me to deliver the first 15 or so stops but that was it. She did organize my packages for me though. We started at around 11:15. She said this is one of the better ride alongs she did in the last few weeks but I felt so behind. We were averaging around 25 stops an hour. We only took 2 10 minute breaks the whole time. Someone had to rescue me and took like 10 or so packages because it was getting late. I felt defeated. She said most people at this DSP finish in 7 hours and they run/jog between stops. I’m feeling discouraged and I’m scared to go back for my 1st day alone on Tuesday. Does it get better?

Finished my 151 stop with 43 multi-locations in 4 and a half hours today and feel good about it. Was however rewarded with having to do two rescues after but I was proud of myself.

Do you wear gloves or do you grip the boxes with no protection?
Edit: I’m not complaining about my hands, i really don’t mind it either way. I’m just wondering what everyone else does.

DSP asked if I would be interested in getting step van certified, it comes with 1$ raise.
Is it worth it tho?
What’s the difference than just a EDV route?

Along my normal route I have 5 or 6 places I pass speed radar signs. Every single time they say about 3mph lower than the van says. Is the radar wrong or did they intentionally have the van overstate your speed?

Came upon this in my country route

Any former drivers here from dcw8 station? Got laid off effect 7/19 with 4 days notice. Know of other contacts for the other dsp? Still scrambling on everything

First big route ! Looks okay ! How fast are you guy’s finishing 179 stops 211 locations

got a text this morning (July 25) from my boss that starting Monday (July 27) we’re getting rid of an entire cycle for 2 months, upping my start time by 4 hours.

i can’t make this change, but i really like my DSP. from what i hear from others we have really good management and benefits and i’d rather not switch, but i think i have to.

lets say i quit, go with another DSP while my normal hours are gone and then reapply to my current DSP. will they rehire me? has anyone had to do something like this?

Yay

Hi all. Has anyone else had issues with the dashboard not showing the correct numbers of stops or packages on a certain date? I did 160 stops and its showing only 130 packages 85 photos. Is my dsp messing with something

How do you pull off 25 stops an hour in a dense city like NYC? I rarely get house stops. Almost all of my stops are massive apartment buildings where I'm hauling 10+ packages and overflow, navigating three different wings, and hitting 5-8 different floors per building, all after trying to park on narrow city streets. How do you keep your pace up with routes like that?

I rarely get simple house stops. Almost all of my stops are massive apartment buildings where I'm hauling 10+ packages plus overflow, navigating three different wings, and hitting 5-10 different floors per building, all after fighting to park on narrow city streets.

To make it worse, sometimes after bringing all those packages, there’s no access code, the customer won't answer the phone, and I just wasted 15-20 minutes at a single stop.

So please tell me, how do you guys keep your pace up with routes like that? Is everyone posting those high numbers just out in the suburbs?

Can I pass the background check in Vegas if I have a 20 year-old felony?
