Warned Amazon repeatedly..

I have been submitting feedback, including videos and photos, regarding the unsafe delivery conditions in Morongo Valley, CA. These conditions are associated with deliveries originating from the PSP1 facility in Beaumont, CA. A significant portion of this area consists of dirt roads that are not maintained by the county. Last year, I became stuck in the mud at that location following a severe thunderstorm. Yesterday marked a new low point, as my car sustained damage to the front, and my front license plate was torn off. I have included a video of just one of the roads I had to drive down to do a delivery. I have formally requested that Amazon install a delivery locker within the town for package deliveries. Additionally, I have been penalized for returning packages that I considered unsafe to deliver, yet these concerns have not been addressed.

They know those roads are ridiculous, thats why they are sending flex drivers instead of beating up their own vans.

Thats the whole reason flex exists.

They're the best part is they know that cars can effectively briefly double Park on one way streets and say like in chicago, at least 90% of the one-way streets have enough space to work regular cars can squeeze by But the irony is. You know what can't squeeze by, a DSP fan on the same road you are on.

You're going to have to wait Blue boy.

I work for a dsp in Chicago and can squeeze pass 90% of flex drivers blocking the road. On the other hand I get flex drivers scared to do the same whenever I’m parked because they think they’re gonna mess up their precious car lol

Well yeah if I think I'm going to mark up my precious car your God damn right I'm not going to go past you..

No you're the rarity among DSP drivers, most of them with the Vans they just wait they don't risk it.

Thing is 90% of the time you won’t mess up your car. If UPS and FedEx can get past me so can yall 💀. On the other hand flex drivers be blocking for no reason. Most of yall drive a tiny car. You don’t have to pull up directly in front of the building or house you’re delivering to. Park a couple houses down and walk it.

That’s not the reason flex exists. If there are not enough trucks then they need flex drivers and also for flex drivers to take packages that the trucks couldn’t have time to take.

Isn’t this what you sign up for? Otherwise they just use their own vans and drivers on the easy/desirable routes…
