"Gone in 90 Seconds" Amazon Delivery Driver - Day on the Road with a 150 cubic foot load
Просмотров 3,7 тыс.4 года назад
13 Bags isn't a huge load. 273 Packages is big, but not huge. 41 enormous, heavy overflow packages made this load a whopping 150 cubic feet as opposed to a normal 90-103. Watch as I start the route and constantly rearrange the overflow and bags through the day to make it easier to move around in the van, and find the overflow packages for delivery.

Thanks
Thanks for sharing!❤
Never call support. Waste of your time. We got shit to deliver.
I’m going on day 3
Thank you for your help. I need lots lol
Hey James hope all is well. New driver coming to watch your videos, are you still a driver? If so would love to see you make more videos 👍
I have been hearing for years that Company UPS drivers have optimized routes, where unprotected left turns are minimized, and the destination addresses are on the driver’s right (both features for safety and efficiency. This routing app is, of course, proprietary, and unavailable to contract drivers. Unfortunately, there are absolutely NO apps (free or paid) that have the two safety features given above! Contract drivers for any delivery company should absolutely be given access to the UPS proprietary routing/navigation app (or equivalent)!
New driver here... i've already experienced these issues many times over. You are exactly right!🫵🏼👍 Josie what are you doing are you messing with mommy stuff knocking over your Christmas decorations below the TV
Using the map does work, when doing to business first before they close...Do the business first and then do the route like you showed here on this video.
How does the algorithm plan its delivery stops in numerical order. As to what comes first to last.
When you deliver to a house then come back like 10 stops later with another one because it needs a one time passcode for it is stupid or just as a separate stop right after another stop for the same place and the person is asking don’t you have another parcel for me so annoying as if you haven’t parked close to the place then your walking/running back to van to get it/them then going back again then back again wastes so much time should just be like a multi stop for one time Passcode parcels
What i do is, i open the first 5 totes and organize my packages in a manner that will be easy to skip totes in case dont follow the default itinerary.
That is too time-consuming. That's what I'm doing now and I need something better and more efficient because it does take just as much time in the end.
Amazon uses two mapping systems. Amazon Flex and Esri
All I can say is trial and error. It takes getting used to but you everyday critique your own route
2:43 Never ran into this
Driving in that part of Portland is a hot mess.
Watst the name of the navigtion app and is it on app store?
Dsp
These videos are better than the train get at the VSP
I have been trying to find out how Amazon configures Flex for routes. What are the basic timings for apartment deliveries vs. single homes etc. There seems to be a lot of confusion and no one really knows the basic structure for route estimation in Flex. Does anyone know? Is there any place you can contact outside of your DSP because they don't seem to know either.
Amazon bought MapQuest....enough said.
MapQuest is still used? I know they use a mapping system called Esri as well as the Amazon Flex app
How do you edit them into singular stop?
There is no incentive and or reward for excelling as a DA. If your scores are the highest in your DSP, you get paid the same as the person with the lowest score. I’m not drinking the Kool aid, I’ll work just hard enough not to get fired. Lmao 🤣
the ones that work too hard are actually the problem.
So helpful
Why don't they teach this. Was curious why I had negative score... getting marked negatively because you aren't doing it when they prompt is so dumb
Route optimization in the app would be great but doing it manually we'll have to work
Amazon did update the load system to first in first out. (today is Nov 2023). I did use the method they show on the app and worked well for me I had 14 bags and OS and was able to load all before time and organize the big packages. Unfortunately my route was not good and I needed to be rescued. But the load out was good. At least. But I'm still looking for improvement, reason why I'm watching your videos.
I have 2 questions: 1. I would like to know if you have any tips for "commercial zones" I thought my timing was improving until I got hit with a zillion warehouses. 2. Does having a bigger screen improve ability to read the flex map?
Great way im going to use this method. My question is when apartments have lockers that are owned by the apartments facility they tend to fill up quick. What is the best way to deliver the packages once the lockers are full? I normally start to deliver to customers doors but it takes alot of time when you have 30-50 packages😂😂
Great tips thank
Very well explained thank you
Does the dog deterrent device really work? I was watching reviews and theres alot of mixed opinions.
My problem with cc is I don't know. I do rural routes and the customers always get their package. 100 dar. So how is my cc 83 all of a sudden. I've not a thing ING in the 2 years I've been there. That's the problem. They want to ding you and not say why and how. Unless a business is closed they get their packages. I go above and beyond. Can't figure it out
OMG THANK YOU FOR THIS!!! I absolutely love RUclips 😊
I just started in San Francisco Down Town area. My GPS Pings me blocks away from where I am and keeps rerouting me and makes it super hard to get to my next stop. Any Advice ?
Love the map. I’m an hour and a half ahead when I do that.
Doesn't make sense to open up 3-4 different totes to find packages just to make the routing more reasonable 😕, in mpo this should be done already by Amazon, I don't know what these people are doing, just fix the damn routes😅 sometimes it makes sense and sometimes it doesn't 🤷
Don’t you guys just deliver to the office of the apartment complex
All I know is I'm a new driver on my first route on my own with Amazon truck was an absolute nightmare once I hit a couple different retirement homes and apartment complexes. I didn't know how to do it fast it took me forever to find the right places and yes the geofence thing was really irritating. But when I turned off the mobile data I couldn't do anything at that point
Instead of (at 3:45) going to stop 8 and digging out parcels for stop 58 & 61, skip stop 8 and do it when you come back for stop 58...
Very well. That is an example of thinking outside the box. 🙂
I'm going to try this today
Is Part 2 coming soon?
I am new to Amazon, but have done delivery before. I have to say I have found your videos to be better then any training I have received. If I train anyone I will tell them about your channel. Heck, probably going up tell my co worker about it as well
It would be easier to group your stops
I am SO glad I watched this! I was having a great first day on nursery route 1 when all of a sudden I was in an apartment complex! Tight turns, hills, confusing layout lots of reversing. Then I remembered this video! I didn’t have time to rewatch it, but I found the itinerary button and maps and kind of figured it out as I went. I never fell behind. Thank you so much for your help! Btw my route is in vancouver 😉
For some reason My Dsp has maps blocked on the itinerary on the rabbits i and my team use , it would be useful because we deliver way out in the country all the time and it’s confusing as heck, I barely had any training and they had walk around and give everyone the answers in orientation to skip ahead, my first day out I didn’t get a nursery route and was expected to have everything done by 7:00pm with 9 bags 80 overflow packages 189 stops and I was assigned a Van that had transmission issues and couldn’t barely drive the speed limit the breaks were super sketchy and the tires were pretty much bald, I got yelled at for not getting everything done and had to be rescued, wish I knew ahead of time what to expect from the Dsp and what to expect when out on the blue mile, I have since went to a New Dsp because there were a lot of issues I wasn’t aware of and found out later on about, everything is a lot better now and I am a lot happier with my job.
F n amazon doesn't take into consideration 3rd floor apartment group stops or country routes/ big properties where the porch is 50 yards from the street. So unless your running nonstop you fall behind In their mighty wisdom. If you look slow they'll cut your routes. I run most of the time..but as stated...it takes it toll on the body

Where's the rest? Part 2
Probably Amazon sent him a gentle and kind message to stop posting about it. 🤔
They give us so little time to load yet take close look at anything else. They want us to quickly load and go.
