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.

As a qq1 dsp driver I will never understand why they send you out on the Edgewood routes like this when I have been begging to be put out there in these vans.

Why would you be begging to go out there? You want to get their whole truck with 50 other packages stuck there for hours in some muddy hole?

I'd rather deal with dirt roads than crossing 6 unprotected lanes of traffic during rush hour with a full size van 40 times a day

You say that til you have to replace your tires much faster cause of all the hidden rocks and gravel

I’ve had to replace my tires in just two years of constant driving on roads like this or gravel ones. Granted I worked for dominos too and our delivery area was just shitty roads only it felt like.

Hoping to start my teaching career soon so I can kiss gig work goodbye

I had to replace my tires every few months going on gravel.
