- Ride along with an Amazon delivery driver as he loads his van and delivers packages.
See what it is like to be an Amazon DSP delivery driver. Damion is successful because he is smart about how he organizes his packages and doesn't waste any time while delivering.

This man is busting his ass. Doing a damn good job. And you’re judging every move he makes instead of appreciating him.
Usually how bosses act
Not with it tho. Making it bad for the rest of the team on his dsp. Same amount of $$
ja er macht ein klasse job wasn das für ein chef der soll mal still sein nur am handy aber immer nur meckern
@@jasminelourdes7371 you can scan the cart and that will cover all the bags
Exactly
I’ve done this for about a year and a half and my advice to you is the faster you go delivering a package the more packages they’ll give you, and believe me no one wants that
Yes! And then they are already at the point where they expect newbies to deliver massive quantities of packages. For the amount of work and all the other extra things they demand form you aside from delivering, the job should be at $30 per hour. That is honestly whats reasonable. Under $20? that’s if the route consisted of 5 bags and some over flow daily. That’s would actually lake the job enjoyable. If all you ever had to do was meet the 5 bags and some overflow quota on a daily.
It's true the algorithm learns. Not like earning more. Are dsp overtime is endless they call you every day asking you to work extra shifts
More packages more hours more money it’s a job
@@skromoneyynot exactly. You leave when everyone in your dsp is done so you only get extra hours if someone is lagging or it’s peak season
@@skromoneyylol this is not UPS bro, you only get 10 hours and cut you at OT you have to milk it
I've been delivering for Amazon for 2 weeks now and I give this video in particular major credit for helping me perform my job so well when I started. When I'm out on my routes I'm always channeling this guy.
Thanks man!
i start soon how do u know what and which box gets dropped off? how is the picksheet read?
@@ApeGank everything is on the app that you use and the app makes it nearly impossible to deliver the wrong package which you'll see in training. Basically each package has a QR code that corresponds to the address that you're delivering at. You scan that QR code with your phone and if it's the wrong package it won't let you continue. Also each package has a 4 digit numbered sticker on it called the driver aid number and the app tells you which driver aid number you should be looking for when you're at a stop.
Do they make you do a ride along on your first day delivering?
@@Prva1l it varies from DSP to DSP. At mine they had me do a ride along on my last day of training for about an hour and then the next day I was by myself with a nursery route (a small training route).
I know some people who started at a different company who didn't get a ride along. They just put them in.
PLEASE, for your safety and the general public's safety, DO NOT follow this drivers' techniques. this kid is a garbage driver.
Im just happy how realistic this is. Doesn't matter if he's got a ride along he still vibin to his own music doin his job 🤌
They are trying to suck u in lol bumping rap music is the last thing on their mind lol they got Billions of dollars they got a shit ton of packages to deliver and probably tons of customer service to deal with those rap music Complaints they are literally letting people that can’t even drive a crown Vic but drive a big ass Mercedes van they got the money for the lawsuits lmfao

I'm just trying to figure out how to get my pole on the van. If I can't, I gotta go work for DHL or FedEx
Give this guy credit. I haven’t delivered for Amazon in 5 years and I’m kinda nervous to get back into it. So much has changed. This guy is working on his own pace and very consistent. Kudos to him. Really gave me the confidence to get back in.
Experience will kick back in once you get used to the changes, you got this 👍
@@1KevinMiller I just got back from this job as amazon driver I started around June of last year and remembering everything I did before I left but I’m in my zone listening to music and doing house to house or apartment complexes etc. I enjoy it and real easy and real good work schedule I only work here for 3 or 4 days a week and I work at FedEx Ground and I been there for about 2 1/2 years almost 3 years but I love both my jobs and get paid every 2 weeks and still get days off from both jobs
Why don't you just work as a carrier for the Post Office? Pays more and better benefits. DHL and UPS too.
@@jdawg.706 why don't you work for UPS, DHL or Post Office? You get paid way more and better benefits.
@@rockon8174 thinking about switching but somehow ended back up in the Amazon section of YT.
This is a exactly the kind of video I was looking for . No tips and tricks just what goes on every day , and how to use the app . Thank you
Schools should bring back career day and have a bunch of videos like this
Do not do anything he’s doing here…no seatbelt, driving bay open, touching phone while driving, rolling stop signs…now we have cameras in the vans and probably because of this shit…
@@MMAPAYNE this isn’t a type of job I would encourage anyone to do.
My interview is tomorrow. Looks like a chill job
@@aakburns Key word "Job" It is labor. What more do you want?
This is exactly what I was looking for. No BS-tips-talk, just a literal ride along with an app-walkthrough. Thank you! Starting as DSP next week.
Yo tambien…. el trabajito jeje ayayai
I like this video too . I’ll be training in 2 weeks . Excited 😆
@@mayacurry1632 Not exactly the best video. Technically everytime the guy gets out the van he's supposed to put on the emergency parking brakes and lock the doors because of nonsense like this...
ruclips.net/video/eshusM_NitA/видео.html
and nonsense like this..
ruclips.net/video/nEW_o_ch1gk/видео.html
Trust me. You want to avoid this situation! Make sure you lock up every time you get out and put up the emergency brakes. Every single stop. That and cameras are everywhere. Including inside vans and outside peoples homes.
Act like your always being watched on duty because people honestly don't have much better to do with themselves and probably _will_ watch you when you least suspect.
As time goes on you can get away with shortcutting (scanning in the van instead of doorstep and leaving keys in & doors unlocked to save time) but early on it's best to do it by the book until the demand starts to increase too excessively. If you do leave the keys in do it in a white suburb or the boondocks where no one's around. Too much can go wrong doing that in cities.
@@stoiccrane4259 No trust me use common sense. You know when and where to lock the door and the ebrake should only be applied on a hill.
@@Micscience Yeah. I've learned. The orientation/testing was nonsense. Alot of it was just fluff used a way to ween out potential drivers. I put on the emergency brakes every stop as a precaution but leave in the key unless I'm going inside of a building or delivering in a setting with alot of people around. I deliver in upstate New York which is nothing but pitch black farmland, steep hills, and mountains after sunset. The blinding dark is the hardest part of delivering.
I’m a visual learner and this was very helpful
He speed walking 😆
Same
Hell yeah
This courier guy deserves a promotion he’s working hard and known his stuff .
@PopCorn_Kidddafirst114 you don’t know that
@@zackwooden474 I work for a dsp there’s not promotions. This job is only for something to make money for the time being then moving on to a better job
He leaves the sliding door open. He doesn't turn the engine off. He leaves the key in the ignition. He buckled his seatbelt and is just sitting on top of it. It's because of drivers like him that DSP's keep on assigning 300-400 packages to drivers. A normal human who is walking briskly and follows all the rules can only do about 200 packages in a 10 hour shift.
@@danielher4515 whose getting 300-400 packages? The most I’ve ever gotten was 370 and that was one time during peak season. Also packages count isn’t what’s bad it’s the how many stops and group stops you got
@@abes3925 your dsp sucks then cuz I do too been there 9 years and make a good living
This young man is very good at his job. He’s fast and efficient.
@@jcc8206 exactly well said. I got turned down for FedEx express cause I didn’t have “verifiable experience as a driver” so I’m at Amazon XL for the time being so I can move on to better things. You can tell Amazon overall is a dead end job. No room for growth within unfortunately but that okay. Get your experience and money and keep going.
He's quick but doing it all wrong. You don't scan in the van it throws the geo tags off so the next driver has to search more for the location
I’m telling you it’s his playlist that keeps him going, haha. Awesome video and even better work ethic! Props
I just got hired for a DSP and start next week. This gave me a HUGE boost in my confidence on what goes on. Thank you very much for this video and thank you to the driver for dealing with a ride along! Anytime you have a boss or anyone in general doing a ride along it changes the entire vibe of the day, but he handled it like a G and I learned a lot from him in this video! Thank you.
Same here, i also start next week lol, this video gave me some relief
No way! I Start Next week too!!
I start in a week also 🕺🏽🕺🏽🕺🏽
I'm about to apply should I ?😂
@@knucklsz5883 don’t apply to DHL whatever you do
Dude this is trippy. As soon as I saw him driving I was like, "Wait. No way that's where I think it is." But it is, I know exactly where he is in this video. This is Colorado Springs, near the base of Pike's Peak. I ride to Colorado and ride around the springs and somehow I recognized that street. I'm not gonna include the house address of his first delivery, but it's really close to Rudy's Bar-B-Q. I realize this is all terribly unimportant, but it feels weird to have recognized a random street in a random RUclips video.
yoooo walter
did not expect to see you here lol. safe riding!
i remember my first beer also
Your 5 minutes of fame
Okey weirdo, who asked
This route is insanely good, basically all houses. These are what we call golden routes at my station, I worked at Amazon and would be around 185-192 stops every day and it would be 25 percent houses but the rest are business and apartments. You’d be tired of walking up apartment steps after the 130th stop. Your route is dependent on where your station is at for the most part. And some routes are harder then others.
Hardest part is getting into building
@@dunkydog1676 not necessarily hardest but I would say it's very annoying, especially if they dont answer
130th stop? Lol I have 240-250 packages and oftentimes 160-170 stops. I skip unpaid lunch break on days I can stand to physically just to get off on time. I wish I could skip it everyday
Thats with 1-2 whole bags apt complexes. Just keep a steady pace but don't burn yourself out. Sometimes I skip Apts till the last stops, as all routes tend to not be too wild as far as distance of where you have to go.
@@Astroqualia Where I live the Postal service does packages AND letters and advertisement flyers you have to deliver to EVERY household in your route. Also the packages are not just small and light packages but also huge and heavy packages as well.
The amount of packages often is around 100. The letters are around 1000.
An entire day for like 200-300 small and rather light weight packages? I'd love that!
Don't get me wrong though. We are all just slaves in this job. That's why there shouldnt be fights about who gets the most work done.
Just got hired, starting tomorrow. This type of stuff is really helping me feel good about it.
How has the job been going
??
You quit huh? Lol
@@jaystechroom dude I'm heee dying as we speak 🤣🤣🤣😅😅
You dead?
He makes this job looks easy, kudos to the delivery drivers. Thank you, because I know it’s hard work.
Only because he has a small load. It’s a bitch when you have 16 touted and 30 overflows
@@abes3925 I do delivery as well but in Japan I work for Sagawa Express riding in a small fan with 195 packages mostly small ones but a few big ones I always put mine in order from the beginning stops to the ending stops but still hard work pays good though
It might be hard work if don’t have warrior spirit, but I got it, so give me a full van.
@@abes3925 try 20 totes and 40 overflow
@@370z_ fuck that you must have terrible dsp
I hope to have as much energy as him! He's awesome
Faster you are. The worse it is for whole team. The algorithm sets the routes add on more packages. Fuck the masks I never wear em unless going into a medical facility which I try and avoid
@@dunkydog1676not really the give you bonuses and gifts too 😅
This is crazy. This would not fly in chicago at the dsp im at rn. No seat belt, rolling stop signs, only houses nicely spread apart, empty streets with tons of parking, no multiple locations grouped together, no lockers, no businesses, able to leave packages out front, driving with side door open, no door pin #'s. This is a cake walk.
We can't leave packages on front doors on busy city streets because tons of people walk by and packages would disappear. We can't leave any vehicle doors open when we are out of the vehicle. Vehicles must be locked and key must be taken out. We don't have the luxury of just pulling up and finding parking. It doesn't matter how organized you are, all those things chip away at your time. I wish I could have a route like that.
This was before the new camera system because he's running stop signs and sitting on his seatbelt. This was when delivering was ACTUALLY worth doing. Now if we sneeze wrong we get hit with "distracted driving"
I thought I was the only one seeing him rolling through stop signs.
@@Stacyahmad99one of the first things I noticed too lol New camera system would have this guy out of a job for some dsp especially for the stop signs and distracted driving. That thing is crazy
Facts
If I’m exiting a neighborhood I would wear a seatbelt. In a neighborhood, no. And stopsigns, I may or may not fully stop. If the camera let me get away with it.
That’s what got me fired and I was busting my tail trying to do everything right
I appreciate he rings the doorbell to let customers know there's a delivery. Way to go!
Omg he’s a delivery driver that rings a doorbell while being a delivery driver 🤪
Most customers don’t like that I don’t ring the bell unless they say to in the notes
He knew how to put the packages in order, nicely done.
That was one of my main likings of this, showed me what I should do whenever I'm brought on board. I've been doing delivery for a short while and learned in the beginning just how much organizing like this is needed.
If you are considering driving for a DSP or STARTING a DSP, watch this video. This is the best, most realistic, that I've seen by far.
Nah
As a current driver for Amazon I am truly JEALOUS of how much freedom you had without that damn camera. You look so much more efficient lmao
does every place have cameras now?
@@g59dc not too sure, there are a few cans at my station that don’t have them but most do here
You not lying this how we did it in 2018 2019 always knocked out stops faster without crossing the seatbelt over your body
This must be before the cameras in the vans. Homie rolling through stop signs. We do that now and our dispatcher is texting us within 30 seconds
He leaving the side door open to we can’t do that
Exactly. He would be suspended for moving this swiftly these days. They have made the job so much more complicated with those cameras and g-force meters.
He also doesn’t have his seatbelt on
real talk
Also we have engine compliance now so 91% of the time van has to be off
So far I've been at it a month. My usual route is in the mountains about 45 mins away from load out, an I gotta say...I love this job! So easy, just gotta connect the dots, Chase the rabbit. Best part is no one looking over your shoulder like in an office enviro.
What does it pay?
My DSP is the typical $16.50/hr, but cost of living is far lower than other places like CA an the like. Plus I get $26.50)hr overtime, an I always work an extra day for it, 5 days instead of just the 4.
They don't have Cameras in the van ?
.most do but mine doesn't
NOBODY WATCHING YOU...?????,how about a netradyne camera watching you in every movement and even reading your lips ....LOL.
“Just keep your mask up when approaching the door” like bro be quiet and let dude do his job god damn 🤦🏾♂️😂
Right lol Then he like did you ring the doorbell, dude the package is delivered
Ikrrrr I was like he's doing a good job
And he was already on it before overseer said anything....Bro even told him to put his pass back in his pocket or am I buggin
Always need something to critique.
Since no one else has mentioned it, this man did 30 stops in 34 minutes, to be fair he had all single house stops and like what, 3 double house stops? Still that’s insane, hella props to him, the best I’d done is 42 stops an hour that’s with a lot of single stops, I definitely want to try his way with separating boxes with bags in their own tote, I just lay them all in the seat next to me boxes hugging the door and in floorboard and bags in the seat layed out so i can see the names, definitely might try utilizing the sliding door too. And for the people complaining about the seat belt or stop signs, some dsp’s don’t hassle over the seatbelts considering you take it off and put it back on every minute, and California stops are pretty common, both saved him a small amount of time sure but it adds up over the course of that hour
For single stops that’s not that good I’ve done that with 3 to 4 group stops for per stop most of the time
@DJ Ness i still leave it idle, and i just fake seatbelt over shoulder to trick the cam
he had hella rolling stops and quick accelerations, i just noticed the no seatbelt. i had one rolling stop and my fico core went down. noticed no netrodyne camera, so that must have been new. if i could do this these days, my stops would look like this, but we cant nowadays. interesting to see at that point in time of how loose things were.
@@Dylan_AlphaLoneKing ain’t no gonna follow the rules to a tee. Amazon just care if u can do the job fast lol
@@Dylan_AlphaLoneKing package got delivered to the right spot. Sounds right to me.
I’m just happy they put his playlist in the description
Dude gotta be in his 20’s this kid is moving
For those curious his packages aren’t the Norm. We usually get 13-16 bags plus 15-20 overflow packages. The back of the vans are packed fully with packages. This guys route is like a nursery route aka a beginning newbie route which only last 2 weeks
2 days* plus 2 days of 75% of a regular route
😭 don’t remind me I’m enjoying my nursery route they gave me a none nursery route and I almost cried like I’m never going to finish this in time I’m barely getting by with my little 80-95 stops

The delivery driver was awesome. Well done Sir.
this is the BEST Amazon video i have ever seen!...that driver Damion is a beast!.....can you imagine if every Amazon driver did their job as good as THIS!?...excellent video!....shows exactly what we need to see and learn without the BS!
This is the perfect video to learn from. From the perspective on the ride along to the perspective on how everything will look on the app as you go.
Was feeling a lil nervous about my first day but this made me feel a lot better.
Only thing I gotta get down now is how to load up my truck which I’m sure I’ll figure out in time.
Hows it been bro
Couple things i noticed that may have have changed from the time this was recorded (or maybe because different areas and DSP’s work differently)… they require us to wear seatbelt at all times while the van is moving, also we have to turn the engine off at each stop (just a few more steps to every stop). There are cameras now in every van, making your movements a little more restricted (no touching your phone, no distractions, etc.). This guy seems pretty fit and has a lot of energy, but getting in and out of the van 300+ times a day can get old pretty quickly. Either way, kudos to guys like him for the effort they put in.
I love that you’re showing the app as you go. I can study how it works ahead of time. First day is tomorrow, Thank you!!! ❤❤❤
Bro! I've watched alot of ride along and yours is flawless I hope they appreciate the worker they have working for them, keep up the good work
Bruh I lost count of the stop signs he rolled through. In my delivery company when we do that we get our asses reamed.
But his work ethic and grind is undeniable.
That’s what we call California stop. He can get a ticket for that.
@@joemontes7391 Except in California .. hence the name lol Everyone does it here
@@PeaceNinja007 where I live if the cops say that. He’d have the whole swat team on him
I noticed at points when he's driving, but more so when he's coming in and out of the van, that he's not attentive to his surroundings at all. Fast and efficient? Yes, but at what cost. It looks like a recipe for disaster. He's barely assessing his environment before going from one stop to the next. This video proves how inattentive these drivers are to their surroundings and the level of safety Amazon expects.
Bro is it against safety to be driving with the side door open like that??
This guys hardcore man , gotta appreciate the energy to keep running all across 170 stops
"177 packages is not very much" LOL, modern slavery =))
ps. luckily indeed these stops seemed to be very close to one another
@@achillestheant430 just let the man have his props. 🤦♂️
im sure daily they make him do over 200 package. I do over 200 packages everyday and I have to rescue afterwards too
@@achillestheant430 normally 177 packages isn’t 177 stops. I normally saw an average of 1.5 to 2 packages per stop so so this could be anywhere between 90-120 stops. depending on how far his drive is to his delivery area, it seems pretty light. I used to have an hour drive once I’m all loaded up and have to do 130ish stops on average. I also worked for a DSP who’s delivery area was like right outside the warehouse (10-20 min drive) and I had to do 160-180 stops a day
@@achillestheant430 That’s what I was saying. Like what he has looks like a reasonable amount of packages, how is that “not very many”? Good for him for doing his job well but man you’re allowed to say when something is bullshit lol
I love how other ride Along videos the driver has both hands on the wheel . Driving super slow and never keep there packages near them and take the key out of the ignition and lock there van going up to the houses.
Nah this dude keeps it real and shows how Amazon drivers really drive & deliver packages while blasting music with the side door open . I love it
Nah my DSP gives bonuses to not do the stuff he doing. His DSP probably doesn't so he just don't care 😂.
Yep all the other videos I've watched you never actually see them deliver. They just show you how they organize their totes and they brag that they deliver 300-400 packages. I've been driving for a month. Ain't no way anyone can deliver 300-400 packages in 10 hours if they follow all the rules. My ceiling is 250 and that's with me running the whole day.
@@danielher4515 I’ve actually done 310 packages and 160 stops in like 9 or 10hrs. I am not even going fast either or running like this video just a walk not a slow walk but a walk with purpose and sometimes at the end I’ll walk slowly. i take both my breaks and lunch. i feel like it depends how you organize your packages and how you work as a person. it’s all a mental game tbh. oh also depends on your DSP and what city you work in. Im lucky to deliver out here in San Ramon lol. You get paid by the hr at least i do I never understand why ppl try to rush and finish at 5pm it’s unrealistic. Just go with the flow i feel like ppl who try to finish early and don’t finish early just set themselves up for disappointment
lol I work for Amazon and had 413 packages and 193 stops yesterday and got that route done in 6 hours and 40 minutes. it wasn't easy, but very doable.
Should do more ride alongs with this guy he is awesome jamming to his music and just getting on with his day kudos to you man keep you the good work 🎉🎉
Yeah this music was fire.
I’m gonna start working for Amazon next week I was looking for a video like this to exactly know what to expect. Thank you so much
Hes doing only a small amount some dudes do over 400 packages especially in peak times
I’ve worked several delivery jobs and this video is essentially what every delivery driver wishes every day was really like. Unfortunately, it’s not realistic for things to go this smoothly every day. There will be days you’re delivering around confusing apartment complexes struggling to find an address, idiotic drivers slowing down your times, road blockades, trains, mean dogs, shit head kids talkin shit, rude customers, accidents and every other thing you could imagine and more. There will be days that are smooth sailing where you get in a flow state, days that are extremely challenging where you feel mentally unstable lol, and days that’ll be in between the 2. Amazon you’ll be doing way more frequent stops but much easier stops. I worked for an auto parts and re finishing delivery service and it was far less stops by way more physically demanding. You’d reliever extremely heavy totes and be forced to carry them often far distances. Have to go on search missions for certain individuals to have them sign off, have to stack them a certain way to appease the workers ect. And they’d often do it in a way where it felt like you were almost doing a portion of their job for them. Amazon pays better than most but you’re probably under stricter guidelines that most. It Varys for every person and place. If you’re able bodied and can drive a van you can easily get the job done though. Just wanted to point out that not all delivery’s and days will be sunshine and rainbows and can it will be challenging at times.
Fed ex had me delivering to businesses searching for certain people to sign off packages constantly getting setback and most the time over 30pound packages
I literally just commented how this video he seems to be breaking rules I was trained with and how his route seems to be the most relaxing route they could give him. Or this DSP is just in a pretty easy location w/ no apartments
Very true words i had a delivery job and my route was in sussex county, vernon, hamburg, frankling, sparta, stockholm and a few more, just 40-50 or 57 stops as max but each stop
Was miles away from each other and moving heavy things 🥲
I drive fedex, and everyday there is always something fubar, it is a rare day that everything goes smoothly. Some people stress about it, I just say 'we are paid by the hour'.
bro said shit head kids talking shit i’m dead
Love this. Thank you. Just applied for driver and this has given me the motivation to do so. Great job
you can tell the pretty quick on his delivery. he gonna have to go rescue after all his delivery I bet lol
I used to deliver for high volume drugstore before cell phones. It was all map and memory, 96 a day, this is a sweet gig!!
That’s crazy the camera guy is literally standing while recording he is also doing a good job at showing us the process of a delivery driver.
out of all things you tell him to keep his mask up while being OUTSIDE but fail to acknowledge how he's just riding around without a seat belt lol unbelievable.
Putting a seat belt on and taking it off literally every hundred yards would be a pain. In the UK seatbelts are mandatory and strictly enforced, but there is an exception for multi stop drivers.
You are too smart for this planet! 😆
No seat belt not setting the e brake leaving engine running driving with doors open all against policy
It is unrealistic to put your seatbelt on for 2 minute, 800 m drives.
You are right he has multiple infractions but I'm sure things changed after this video was made. Notice there isn't a camera in the windshield. My dsp has rental vehicles also and those do not have camerasin them. I'm guessing the driving behavior is less restricted when there is no camera and you only have to worry about Mentor app. I personally think that my 830-850 fico score takes away from my 30+ stop an hour capability but anything over 20 is good for me and time flies. Still can't take away from his hustle though and adherence to the customer notes. But yeah if I were allowed to do what he is doing I would definitely maintain a 35 stop an hour pace no problem.
I have neeeever seen an Amazon delivery driver drop off as fast as he does haha. I get multiple packages almost weekly. This guy is amazing 👏🏻😁
Me too daily he'll of boxes packages stops businesses apartments houses
I like how at 31:00 camera man pans to the view of the Beautiful snowy mountains of Colorado. That’s life baby !!!
This video is appreciated. I start my first day as a driver in a few days. Much love from Fargo North Dakota

@@JeanCarlos-sg9op it’s fun, but I mean work is work. Depending on what you did before, warehouse/construction anything with hard labor than this is a bit more relaxed. I applied and am doing it on my days off I’m a kitchen manager for almost 10 years, and I love cooking but delivering is almost like a stress reliever to me from being cooped up in a kitchen doing many things besides cooking like cleaning ,prepping ,washing to being a van alone driving listening to music. But yeah Some days you get In your moods, but for the most part it’s what you make of it
@@Applesousboos hey man thanks...I started the training yesterday and today I passed everytest including road test training. Will see what happens.

Guy is good and full of vibes. This job seems fun. I love driving and this would be a good job for me.
he go a route that just houses which aint bad cus when I worked amazon delivery., i had just apartments and it was no first floor deliveries either. had my ass doin a whole workout going up and down them stairs lol. he got a good rhythm. you got to in order to last at that job.
Homeboy is gettin' on it! U can tell alot is about flow, the way u roll, to make good on times. Good job, driver.
shoutout this entire video and everyone in it. definitely learned everything i needed for my start!
I did my first trip Saturday. I deliver 150 packages. I did 77 stops. The distances where so close together. I hooked my seat belt around the seat and buckled it after the first drop off. I dump the first box in the passenger seat. I missed my lunch break. I finished at 7:30 pm. I learned a lot. I cannot wait to go again and fix some of the delays that were unnecessary. Such as, shortening the package dropoff. Sorting and arranging deliveries so I don't have to hunt for packages.
Like he did, can you leave your door open when traveling on the road and deliveries are kinda near each other?
@@RainyCityResident he is not leaving the door open . The dude filming is the one opening the door and handing him the next package. Lol
@@RainyCityResident why ride with the door open when you can front load the tote you are working out of and go from the drivers seat with the package(s) to the front door?!
Yup, you'll learn to take as many packages as possible and dumping your next stops in the front seat so you can just grab, hop out, and go. Where I live with the company our phone service is for work phones, the signal fades out and causes frequent app related lag glitches that takes several seconds off each stop, if not the occasional full app crash that requires restarting the app.....then waiting as it loads. They shoulda went with tmobile instead of AT&T
@@Astroqualia long time no response? 😁
The music was the best part of the video
I’ve been driving for bout two months now, but I had no idea you could leave the side door open!!!
I went on my ride along yesterday and it was pretty good. I got it down pack,finna do my route by myself tomorrow
Can you give me some insight on what to expect during the ride along, pleeease? 🙏 How long are you in the van with them?
I just got hired and I'll be going through this process very soon.
@@katieroccagli308 How's the job?
Those deliveries are back to back, like that's crazy
I’ve been driving Amazon for almost a year and loving it. Way better than my last job at Ralph’s. Lol.
You have my respect. I lasted a week lol.
hi . i missed my delivery 3days when the driver come again . thanks
Industrial courier is way funner. Less rules more insane driving. But higher restrictions on licenses
You do it perfect, Amazon is lucky to have you, energetic, enthusiastic, on it ! Great job man!!!
my dude did so many rolling stops at stop signs barely ever checked his mirrors, going too fast in residential neighbourhoods
Its so fast when packages are already paid and you don´t have to wait for the owner to come out or call him before the delivery. Goes so smooth haha good job!
The rams are so easy to maneuver, reversing is such an ease as and getting in and out doesn't hurt your feet
dudes got a great taste in music
Fr lol I'm like what song is that
Got my delivery driver orientation soon, only thing im still not understanding is how do you know which packages to drop off in order? like i know they are labeled a certain way but no video has yet to show me or tell me how to understand the process of organizing your packages so you know which ones get dropped off where. Like this dude is going straight to the packages without hardly looking at them like he's hard wired to know which one to drop off next, he definitely deserves a hell of a raise.
You get the totes during load up. They're in numerical order and you put the totes 1 on top 2 on bottom and repeat that till they're all in. The sheet they give you also gives you numbers for the bigger packages so you can put them in order as well. The app tells you everything. You can even sort the totes too if you want based on the route stops.
Each package has a number tag on it, number comes up on your screen, grab it out of the bag and scan it.
Also, Damion is crazy good at his job. You always hear myths about people being fast on the job but this dude is for real 💯💯🔥
This was great video, the fact that you still vibed with your music and all is a big plus for me. Seems pretty straight forward. I just got hired yesterday so I'm actually excited to start. Am I'm about to get my playlist together right now
So how are you doing now?
@@deezn2856 so far I really like it bro, it's great being alone going at your own pase. The 3 off days lit too. I fx with it. I even have my music blasting like this 😅
This guy is really good, keep it up Brother!
Being a driver in Florida,our load out is way different. We don't have a sheet that gives us our zones we have to go thru the totes to figure out where they'll endnup. A normal day for us is between 180-200 stops and 250 -300 packages.
At my location in LA, our totes aren’t in order either, so we literally just have to load our vans hoping that our bags out in order because we don’t get a physical sheet and our rabbit doesn’t tell us the order 9 times our do 10. We can get anywhere from 250-400 packages a day. I feel
@@adelinepointer3691 you can put them in order by following the scan packages screen it has the tote number and staging area. I have only used pick sheets for 2 weeks before my station stopped printing them.
what's is the salary for this Job ? in Miami ?
Same for my DSP in Kansas City. No itinerary sheet. I have to log in and write my itinerary down and organize my route from there.
@@kermitstewart6572I noticed that a couple of his packages didn't show the green check but he put it in his van anyway. Why didn't those packages show up?
Was a driver for 3.5 years…was fun & great exercise. Was averaging 250-300 stops a day. Great video for new drivers
Why did you quit driving?
@@danielplumley2649 Honestly I quit due to all the rescues I had to do..I hustled every stop & the rescues were my down fall for me quitting. Would I drive again for amazon,no. But it’s a great experience for new employees to try out & see for them selves.
i think you mean 250-300 packages, not stops. 250 stops would mean about 500 packages. The most I ever heard someone at my DSP do was 425 packages. Did you break the rules? Did you leave the engine running and the sliding door open? Do you buckle your seatbelt and just sit on it?
@@danielher4515 I meant what I said,thank you very much.
@@burrito_bobby The route stop cap is 199 stops. Are you separating your group stops by chance?
Homies playlist really hits different 🤝💵
This is such an amazing video. So amazing to watch. Thank You so very much for sharing. I appreciate all what those driver’s do.
If they would only ring the bell.
No lie this video helped me when I was nervous about my first day/week as a driver I’m going on week 3 and I like it so far
kudos to the young brother doing his job! nice playlist too 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
just got hired as a DA and this makes me feel more comfortable how my days will go!
Not everyday you gone see if you have to go to them high rise apartments
I was just going to say - Beware of apartments 😂 You'll either learn to do them or you won't.
That boy movinggg lol . This is goals
This was very thorough 🔥💪🏽
Now do Seattle. Hills, narrow 1 way roads/alleys with tree overhang. In rain and snow with houses with 6 flights of stairs
The DSP I work for would have: 1 stop sign violation, multiple seatbelt violations, failure to turn off ignition within the first 10min of the video. His FICO score would have dropped by about 100pts for that day. Good driver, too many regulations. Oof.
Same. Lol. Phone manipulation too! So many 😂
Don't forget sliding door already opened before stop.
@@Joker-np9le I keep my door open and engine running because a/c don't work in my DSP vans
@@Matthewxie5505 That's understandable but dispatchers at my dsp are assholes and said someone said something about us riding down side streets not even near the main roads with our doors open during the summer and basically said if caught we get terminated. We don't have cameras in our vans just back up cameras on the back. So basically someone told for no apparent reason.
Yeah, my DSP would of had us fired the first day. And, we have the 270 degree camera or whatever it is. We are not even allowed to pull up on the opposite ride of the road like he did.
I'm about to buy myself a van and become a sub-contractor here in Australia, thanks heaps for this video! gives some insight into the job :)
This video taught me waaaaaaaay more than the DSP or Amazon did! I'm smashing the nursery routes. They probably about to hammer me with 300+ packages tomorrow.
Same, I was nearly 2 hours ahead of time minus one apartment day. I even had to do some rescues. I think I got it down.
Yeah do not do any of this stuff unless you want your fico and netradyme to hit you HARD and get fired for driving with no seatbelt and with the sliding doors way open.
@@emthomas10 FACTS. No way anybody is doing this with 20 totes and 2 carts of overflow. It takes half the day to get where you can walk through a fully loaded van. And who rides with the side door open all day? That van is packed LIGHT.
@@E.RHYMES and they said his fico is actually good, dude must have his seatbelt buckled behind him. The system can tell how often the seatbelt is taken on and off-obvious that it’s only plugged in once or twice. This dsp breaking all kinda rules and being the reason we’re getting cameras in the first place
300 packages aint shit...300 stops yea...im ups n lemme tell u ...we waste a fuk load of time looking for address because they dont have working gps in the truxks so u plug them into your phone
Great ride along. So many deliveries to do for this bloke. I can’t imagine how it is in the bad weather to do. Especially with so many stops.
Day 3 training is tomorrow and I’m happy u posted this mini training video so I know what to expect on my very first day 💜
This makes me wanna be an amazon delivery driver now lmao. I've been looking for a video just like this just a view of what goes on every day and the app in the bottom right was a nice touch on how to use it and what it does just an amazing video!!!
I'm on my 9th day. I'll give you some advice. Pretty much don't do anything this video showed you.
1) Vans have cameras installed
2) You can't roll through stops
3) You can drive with the side door open
4) Absolutely and do NOT run, ever. If you run and complete your packages fast during your "nursery" route (1 to 2 weeks of easy routes) then the system will throw a 350+ package route on you cause all that running made it think you can handle it.
However it does show that you can get a nice flow going once you have your own way of organizing your stuff.
@@MiguelRPD What about blasting the music with the windows down?
@@DS-od7kz I do that today lmao. I have 2 extra phones along with my work phone.
Work phone - Amazon Flex app
Personal phone - Music/Calls/Etc
2nd phone - Mentor app (tracks phone manipulation).
I don't touch my 2nd phone besides logging in. So at the end of the day I get no violations. Despite being on my personal phone.
Don't lol they got cameras now ding you for drinking water while driving or not stopping enough time on a stop sign it used to be chill now its just annoying glad i left
@@juanzarate6165 I come to a complete stop. And I put a driver-aid sticker on the front camera so it doesn't see me. I've been doing this since I've started working a month ago and no one has said anything lmao.
This dude crushed it!!! I’d love to see his delivery rates
He goes home by lunch
This is good going around neighbourhood till you get to public places or houses with no identification number or name. I like the way he's got the all the porch options
I start in a week here in CT. I wanted to see hiw they loaded the Vans. Not sure why he is rushing...I guess he wants to be "fast". I would never go that fast to deliver a package, to as to run to the door. Many drivers have injured themselves for going that fast.
Take your time. Even here in CT I see drivers walking to the door to deliver. They do not run to the door, they take their time.
Take tour time. Walk in a normal speed.
Thanks for sharing and your hard work I'm a prime customer and really appreciate what you do .
He rides without a seat belt the whole time as he is being observed 🤣🤣
He's driving 100 feet at a time! Would you keep putting yours on?
@@touchdown62 loll I have worked for ups back in 2017 and I now work for Amazon. Same policy different name. It's totally against safety protocols.
Aux skills on point for the driver
This guy knows what he is doing
i love amazon thank you for your hard work
Dope as video as im in the training phase right now this gave me a large sense of ease
Thank you for this video, very interisting to see what you guys have to do!
