It can feel really frustrating when you finish all your packages and feel good when you can finally go home but dispatcher calls you and tells you gotta go help some driver
Can’t u just tell the dispatcher u don’t wanna do it
@@crazygamingyt7245Ya might make the dispatcher like ya less but oh well.
@@crazygamingyt7245 I dont work for amazon or even live in the usa. We do things a bit different
@@Donari I don’t even live ina country that has Amazon bro
@@lights_utopia1130 so? Doesn’t the dispatcher jsut check on u, who cares if he likes u lesss
This man took on a rescue for our entertainment and joy sir I salute you 🫡🫡🫡
anything for my subscribers
Why am I watching you deliver packages after 10 hours of delivering packages myself 😂
😂😂😂
I cant almost sleep until alarm how I am stressed by this work, but than I arrived home and I am caught watching Chriss videos. Whats wrong with me 😂
Because we’re the adult equivalent of those kids nowadays who watch other kids play with toys on RUclips!
Sign of autism spectrum
Me to be bruh😭😭😭😭
For those wondering, mandatory rescues usually only happen with DSPs that offer guaranteed hours every week. Meaning if you get done early you still get your full days pay. At least from my experience. Found one that offered both guaranteed pay and paid rescues, those are the unicorns.
Same with mine. Some are part-time, some full-time. So if someone who's full time is running super late, they'll send a rescue, usually from someone who is part-time, or vise-versa if you're full time and finish early, they'll send you to rescue. It's all mandatory. But if you have to rescue a certain amount of times/week, they pay per stop. So it kind of evens out the pros/cons. One DSP in my warehouse pays auto OT pay for rescues.
my dsp are cheapos
here in austria in my dsp it was mandatory and i had 55-60 hours a week because of the rescues .. xd
Dark syde phils?
we got unlucky with mine. No guaranteed hours and mandatory rescues
My DSP gives a $50 bonus for doing a rescue. That usually ends up with no one getting a rescue because the DSP doesn't want to pay out
every driver for themselves.
In germany, we have a few drivers always stationed as pure Rescue Drivers, usually we have 5-6 People, who have 190-250 Stops.
Also fast drivers can optionally do rescues, I usually do it, since I work mostly in Villages where either most of the customers are at home or you can deliver to the door and leave, so I usually finish at 4-5pm
Yes. People with no route and purely do rescues are known as sweepers!
thas a way better !
Same about 1-2 sweepers per shift non-winter months, more in winter
Lies 😂 you can't tell me that without showing facts especially when There's traffic
@@esaumesinas310 no lies, we are mostly doing calm villages where literally everyone allows us to deliver at the frontdoor / garage.
If you deliver in Cities, you usually get 120-140
My DSP has mandatory rescues. What I do is, once I hit around 40-50 stops, I take my time so that I don’t have to do rescues. Usually I can get 25-30 stops done a hours, so I turned that 25 to 12, because I don’t feel like getting done by 6:30 and then having to pick up 30 stops. So I try to drag it out to at least 7, because my DSP is stingy so they don’t like drivers being out past 8 or they have to pay us OT.
Man you ain’t lying that’s the way to do it then they get mad you got finished so early and won’t let you go home
Run.
Yeah why do more work and not get paid much for it, I’m all for working the overtime and extra shifts IF YOU want to and IF YOU agree but if you’re not wanting to and they’re not paying well for it then take ya damn time bro
People working from morning to evenings untill 8 for a shit pay is not worth it. I feel bad for delivery drivers working like crazy
30 stops left and she wanted you to take 20? that's pretty much doing his whole job. at least the dude offered you to take what you wanted.
I'll have some mercy for the new drivers
Yo no lie, one time my dispatcher told me to take 15 stops from a guy, he only had 15 left 😒😂 I only took half and kept it moving
@@ibnshabazz3989something similar happened to me ,called them back and they told me come back
I really enjoy watching your ride-a-longs. I had considered doing Amazon for the 3 day work week as a part timer, BUT I have serious issues driving in the dark. I live in a rural area. Lots of mountains lots of wildlife. Stay safe out there!
I saw something like this not long ago. At the time I thought the first truck had broken down. But after the rescue truck left there was a few minutes pause before the first truck left. They were of equal size so when they pulled up back-to-back there wasn't hardly any gap between the two. Kinda cool to see how you guys help each other out.
the crazy part is that amazon drivers are so underpaid for what they do compared to ups or other companies
So true they even have better benefits i think
True but hard to get a delivery job there, you have to work at least 2 years in the warehouse.
shit, try being an Autozone Hub Delivery driver.. worst underpaid ever
Thank you for the Many Hours you Work and for the Time you’re Away from your Families Delivering our Packages. You Don’t Hear Enough but you’re Appreciated.
You are a good soul
Respect for the rescue.
Nawww man night delivers would have been a huge no for me. I think the latest I was ever out to was 8 o’clock. And I was pissed.
who needs a rescue? I gotchu
What is the best way to apply to be a DSP driver is there a certain website we can go to apply for a position? I also have a Motorola phone I call it karate chop
@@z0mbyd0nkyjust apply on indeed they post Amazon jobs every day

I had to do 53 group stops at 6 apartment complexes. I dunno how those people with those routes do that. Neighborhoods are my strong suit cuz they’re all just down the street.
Country routes, I’ve come to hate them cuz it’s like 2 or 3 miles between each stop and I don’t feel as productive, add the fact that sometimes I have a cargo van with not so good AC
It's good you are willing to help each other finsh a late delivery.
Teamwork is what it is all about, you don't know; maybe one of these you will need someone to assist you ( if same thing should happen).
Good job on the team work.
I used to do the Amazon XL deliveries and now I’m heading up to swap to to the smaller packages. You’re videos already have me a good idea of what’s to come.
Don’t XL pay more ? Or did you leave because of the overweight boxes and killed your back
@@Qnz_Hectic the pay was around the same taking 50 cent pay cut to save my back lol
I feel like Amazon XL is better?
@@LaosHouse I heard it isn't but I could be wrong.
@@LaosHouse less stops but more driving and packages that are 100lbs+. Then sometimes you get a lazy helper or helper that can’t even lift the packages lol. If I’m gonna do 10 hrs either way I’d rather save my back lol
Great video Chris! Have a Great weekend( I am starting on Monday) your insight thru your videos definitely helps. Thank you
hope your day went well Scott!
I’d hate delivering late into the night like that
same. always try to finish before
My DSP is the last one to leave our warehouse in Carle Place NY (Long Island). In the winter months that’s a nightmare because I was delivering in the dark for hours and hours every day. I usually don’t finish my routes before 7:00 PM. Our late start time is also bad if you have a lot of businesses on your route.
at the DSP I worked at rescues where not optional. they where mandatory so I would slow down around my last 10-15 stops to ensure I didn't finish too soon.
Laos your videos have me thinking out giving it a try. I love your attitude and your spirit. Some people only see the bad parts of a job and that is all the focus on. I am used to delivering pallets of nuts and bolts with a box truck. I live in Sioux Falls Sd. I loved driving and not having to be stuck in a warehouse all day. The biggest drawback was having to dive a 13ft truck on back roads during the winter time. Thank you for all of your videos and thank you to all the Guys and Gals who deliver our packages to us. I am going to look and see if my local DSP is hiring right now.
I love night time delivery. Not an amazon driver but I do food delivery. No traffic and more money it's so chill.
I just got hired at Amazon, and now I am waiting for my drug/alcohol test day to came and the classes so I can begin driving. Thanks for making this videos and helping me understand a bit better on what to expect while driving for Amazon
I'm a DoorDash driver and there are some deliveries that I've done between 7PM and 2AM that are in really sketchy looking neighborhoods. So I usually lock my car when I do a delivery even tho its only a few feet. I eventually want to become a driver with either Amazon or FedEx since I've worked for both companies before.
Always offer delivery people snacks or drinks and say thank you.
since started driving in mid July, its really interesting watching your channel and how you take it. My DSP has reeally drilled speed and not taking your breaks and stuff. We get a slight incentive finishing early as of this week. Getting a rescue is always nice, but the earlier you finish the more likely they throw you into a rescue haha.
I worked in a food delivery company. The only time I got out on time was through training then the real job was nothing like they showed me. Super long unfinishable routes, no ability to stop for a break or lunch, low pay, low to 0 tips espcially the more money the area had the less they gave out until you'd just run into house servants that didn't even speak english keeping their houses in order. Just felt like a slave after a while and quit.
I feel for you being out in the dark, my DSP is the 1st out and 1st back to my terminal. So usually if I have to do a rescue I take like 20ish depending on how far behind they are, and it’s usually out of a regular van. But it all depends on there pace and my DSP. Great stuff man!
yeah we're second to last to loadout 😭. A DSP is moving so we're fighting for their loudout spot rn
My Dsp is the last to load up 😭 we load up at like 11:30 and I’m not at my first stop till about 12 12:15, and having 150+ stops is just so annoying, I’d be much happier if we loaded up a lot earlier
@@stevensinclair3037 My DSP is also the last one to load. But my DSP does pay for rescues (one dollar per stop). There’s positives and negatives to my DSP like there is with everything in life. I usually clock out between 7:30 PM and 9:00 PM. I’ve only been rescued once because I had a bunch of deliveries to a psychiatric center and I had a hard time finding all the buildings because I wasn’t familiar with the campus. After a couple weeks I got much better at it. Sometimes my dispatchers send me a sweeper to take some packages from me and sometimes they don’t. I’m always appreciative when they do send me help. On a lot of days it’s very necessary. I usually get over 300 packages a day.
I no longer do this job but I always hated getting done and sent to rescue then having the driver that I rescued getting finished and heading in before me. Most of the time it was the same person and they were sandbagging just to get help so I would start sandbagging on my own route and get done just about an hour and a half or two hours before I was supposed to be in. Most of the time there would be drivers that got done earlier and they would get sent to rescue and I would get to go in. I didnt mind helping someone out that had a big route and actually needed it (believe me, I needed it from time to time) but when someone just sandbags because they want someone else to do their job then I play their games too.
I feel you man
Thanks for your hard work I know its not easy.
Yo your videos saved me man i just started Amazon Deliveries my first day was Sunday it was brutal i go in today still getting the hang of it
I used to do Amazon Flex to make my rent, and my start time was 3:30 in the morning. I feel ya delivering at night. They used to send me rural too, was spooky to be in the middle of nowhere on people's land before the woke up. Anywhere from quarter mile to mile-long driveways constantly.
You should definitely get yourself a headlamp that you can use at night , it would help you a lot with seeing in the dark.
I was thinking that too. I got mine at the dollar tree
Get two rechargeable the same, I like the “180 degree” ones for steps and uneven ground work. One in use, one on the charger in case. Good luck
You rock dude !!
I knew it was jersey immediately the minute you made your first turn after picking up the packages 😂 Common “hurry and turn”.
0:47 to 1:10 thank you for the meaning of the Amazon helper I did not know that.
I like your videos. Shows what to expect
LOL Your funny thank you for these !!!!!!
nice videos man! you've inspired me to work for amazon, i started last week. And im also in new jersey! DJE1
working for a contractor for fedex, they made helping people mandatory and they only paid you a flat day rate! I would have 120 BUSINESS stops and then i finish in 9 or 10 hours and they give me someone that was slacking. I did that for about a year and I was basically running two routes once i turned in my two weeks
Our DSP rounds up our hours to 40. So getting done early daily is worth it. They also always run a few sweepers, so rarely get asked to rescue.
He definitely didn’t have 200 stops in a step van.
😆
Easily, but the stops are probably bunched up and like 1 package per house.
Remember 1 stop can be 2-4 houses
It’s possible to have 200 stops in a step van. Rare but possible.
FedEx doing 300 stops in these things but bigger. Them knees gonna be wrecked in a few years
Thanks for sharing
Binge watching these makes me want my first job to be an amazon driver, new subscriber!
Work in warehouse instead not this
Good video guy 💪🏾
👍👍👍Good job...and thank you for your hard work. As for late deliveries in dark areas, rather than using your phone flashlight, may I suggest a "head strap lamp" !!!! 👍👍
Smart
in the US is easy to work for Amazon as a driver, you always find where to park
sadly my DSP is mandatory, if you decline it your only paid up until the time your route is done and you forfeit the rest of your shift
A headlamp looks like itd be useful for night deliveries. Brighter than phone and hands free, though some people may wonder whats going on aha
i drive for a DSP that requires rescues if asked. i also finish my route 1st or 2nd every day so its a rescue every day. sucks that my company cant offer something to drivers that succeed in what they do.
fr
One of the main drawbacks keeping me at FE Ground. Busting my tail all day trying to go home to my life then being yanked out to go finish someone elses route. Newer drivers shld have routes they are capable of handling and it shld grow as they progress. Slow delivering is no excuse.
A legit breakdown or true emergency is my only acceptable exception to "rescuing."
Thank you so much. So much technology goes behind the scenes. Say what you will about Amazon they deliver.
Just got hired for a DSP. Great info!
This just brought back flashbacks 😅when they would always send me to rescue
Another great video.
thanks chirat
I’ve been working as a driver for about a year am a Hub driver now but still do rescues when finished with hub route usually take between 65-80 stops just to take the load off the other drivers I love it.
Hey man! Love the content. Saw they have been updating the decals on the van. Do you have any idea why they are doing it?
thanks for posting a new video. always look forward to all of your videos. i've even went far back to your first couple videos just to see your growth. keep up the good work
We've come a long way
Love your content, hopefully you will start making more money from RUclips than Amazon delivery!
Night time delivery actually looks siiick. I mean kinda creepy but love the vibes
Especially around nicely decorated houses too.
Yeah bro , idk why , but I feel more energetic at night time
It’s fine in town, but sucks in super rural areas.
i would not wanna do this near detroit where i live lol
@@ralkiaas an amazon driver who has delivered in detroit, people left me alone and the houses are at least close together so it wasn’t that bad
Hey Laos,
Not sure if you’ll see this, but I’m hoping you’ll do another informational video for beginner drivers. I know you did one before, but maybe an updated one with new tips could be helpful.
I start the 3 day training next-week and learned a lot from your videos so thank you
how’s it going ?
Also curious how’s it going…?
@@jesterfrx1682 surprised people actually wanna know, so I’ll say
The job is interesting to say the least. I’m on my 3rd week delivering now, and it’s weird. I enjoy the job, but it can be tough going into work sometimes.
The start of the day can be a bit overwhelming with a van filled with totes and oversized packages, but by the end of the day when you’re done and driving back to RTS (return to station), it’s a great feeling.
Right now I drive a Mercedes sprinter van and deliver from 100-160 stops, 150-250 packages a day. The best route I got was in a gated community, the second best was a residential neighborhood but in a low-income neighborhood (it’s a bit harder than gated communities), and the worst route I got was in a rural country area with long distances between stops and run-down roads.
As for the job incentives, my DSP doesn’t really incentivize that much to work faster, which sucks. You do get paid $1 per stop if you rescue someone, but there’s been days I worked as hard and fast as I could to finish early so I could get rescued and got sent home early. I realize I could’ve just took my 2 optional 15 minute breaks instead of skipping them and worked a bit slower to make more $ that day.
So now I just work at an average pace because you don’t really make more $ by working faster, even with rescue incentives. I don’t plan on doing this long-term, otherwise I’d try to get hired by UPS/Fed Ex, just doing this to make some $ to pay for another semester.
Not sure how/why anyone would do this job long-term. It’s long hours, physical days in hot weather and rain, dealing with traffic and dogs. I make $18.50 an hour in SW Florida, but even though I complain, I’d rather do this job than work indoors all day for $13-15 an hour.
It’s nice to constantly be on the move and work by yourself.
Sorry for the long comment but yeah, that’s my rant. If you have any questions or anything I’d be happy to answer.
God bless them every one!
That dude you rescued wearing sneakers in this type of job is wild
gotta be fresh
It's mostly walking... you don't need work boots to walk, boomer.
@@dakota9821 I'm 23 lol
Thanks for the video, I start this Thursday and finishing training tomorrow. Curious but What camera do you use to record you videos?
That house at 9:42 was nice asf how they had it decorated.
Im in florida. I was delivering in the sticks today and heard gunshots. Thats typical and legal. people set up shooting ranges on their property.
also my DSP is mandatory recues but thet pay 10$ extra plus whatever hours you take to do them.
One thing i noticed from the ford and freightliner step vans is the location of the shifter one is higher up on the dash and one is lower
I work for FedEx express if I parked in someone’s driveway like that they would write me up. We can back into them and turn around but parking nope.
If an person that lives in a house is snitch then they will snitch. Amazon driver and UPS drivers always park at my driveway, one UPS driver parked for 10 minutes 😂I don't care if they park if it's some civilian on their private car then no I will kick them out, if it's delivery drivers parking at my driveway I don't care
It sucks to do 150 stops then have to do a rescue. also sucks for the guy that was hurt and still needs to work. my old dsp would give heavy routes to people they didn't like.
I first found your Rivian video. That Rivian is awesome and I definitely understand why you like it more. I would love to experience what it's like to do deliveries for Amazon, or even drive a big rig. I used to drive big trucks in the army, and I miss it. Unfortunately, I've gotten too many speeding tickets over the last few years, so I doubt I'll be able to get any kind of driving job. Oh well. I enjoy being a SWE, but I work from home and never get to drive anywhere interesting.
part of the driving job is seeing/going places you ever would have gone before
I know how to prevent this happening. There’s this thing called a speed limit, and you stay under it.
Not to take away from Laos, but I heard a few months ago our DSP was getting rid of recuses... But that I think flew the coupe?...
It was good to see you man the other day. I am figuring you got kicked out by we know who!....
Stay safe out there....The smiles gotta reach their homes.....
Get you a light up vest and a led spot light that mounts on your head. Make night delivery alot easier. I use it for semi deliveries at night. Good luck
The phone trick I did not know, thank you for that😂😂😂
Bro, them intrusive hunger thoughts took over at 1:47. 😂😂😂
happens pretty often 😂
Where I live is dead silent lmao! Forgot about the railroad man! Tooting at all hours of the night!!
Love your videos . I recently got hired for Amazon delivery your videos will help me out a lot and I wanted to start vlog my own experience I was wondering do you even get in trouble when vloging and is it frowned upon with management and stuff I just don’t want to do it and get called in or fired for sharing my videos
Man, had to turn down Amazon DPS after getting hired last week for a better opportunity, but I still ended up watching all your vids. Love em! Keep it up, subbed.
lol. Hey man just gotta do what's best for you! best of luck!
@@LaosHouse thanks!
You're getting the deluxe experience with so few stops.
Another Banger!
lets go!
Your DSP is different - with my DSP, it’s part of your shift if you finish your route early - I did two rescues yesterday!
My last three Amazon deliveries have been delayed between 1 to 4 days. When I looked at my tracking, for my last order, it went back to the warehouse three times before I finally got it.
Sounds like a good dsp you work for i got my cdl for this stuff but dont know if i want to go back to a DSP around northeast 😮💨
My method at my dsp is one day I’ll say yes to a rescue the next time I’ll say no not today then the next time I say yes and so on and they still give me my bonuses , as long and you do rescues here and there they won’t cry
my respects to you, this jobs seems like its tougher then uber, lyft, door dash, and other driving jobs.
Anyone else is sick on that bs update they did to the Amazon flex app? We can’t even group stops anymore, we have to take pics of every stop. AND WE HAVE TO TAKE MULTIPLE PICS OF ONE STOP 💀 such bs, they need to revert the update back to how it was
Been there and done that for two years and i don't miss it one bit na im lying it was pretty cool to be out and about on the road all day and getting a great cardio workout and some heavy lifting. Only part that sucked is i worked there during COVID times. So in having that said we would have between 140 to 200 stops and within that time you gotta eat and that puts you back and also finding a washroom because no gas station would let you in (because of COVID) made good money tho!! Hated buildings with multiple stops in it. However The customer's really appreciated our work and what we were doing. Also bought some Amazon stocks during that time too!!
"Way out there" == suburbs.
Where I came from == no lights.
Keep driving! ;)
9:15 The part with the deer LMAO
I died laughing when the deer scared ya
Bro the shake flash is the best
I’m in CA working for a DSP and we don’t have to scan every package - only the tote when we do a rescue -
You should get a flashlight helmet or headband thats super bright and just stick it up in the truck somewhere just for the times youre out at night.
Not sure how often you deliver in the dark, but I would say (even though it may look a little sketchy) get a good flashlight, definitely been a good investment for me (I work at FedEx). One of my coworkers just switched to amazon and I've been thinking about doing the same.
Which one you suggest?
i saw in a old video you have the care package from bo2 in your trunk of the civic i have that same thing im just wondering WHY is it in your civic?😂😂
Just some advice. At night I use a head flash light that I converter to go around my wrist like a watch so I can still hold packages with both hands and still shine my light. I also got a thin 5000mah battery with its own built in type c cable that slips into a phone dry case. So I can work in the rain while still charging so no need for wires and power bricks. I also stick on a metal magnet plate on 1 side of the case so it works with magnet mounts too. Ive been a driver for 3 years and 2 months and it works good for me.
i get my route done starting around 12 and ending around 6. get paid full my 10 hours. this is my second dsp and ive made it clear, i will get whatever route you give me done today but dont ask me to rescue. they dont ever bother me about it lol but i do have 180 every day.
Same, i made it where im now just a sweeper.Plus when they call me on my days off i told them only if im sweeping and no routes.They agreed.
lmao the deer was waiting for his moment
Ive been watching your videos for a while now and been delivering too in dtla, been wanting to get into the whole content creator side to what camera do you use is it a gopro if so which one and what do you use to keep it on your forehead or chest wherever you keep it strapped while working
The latest update for flex is you can't mark select all even if it's all the same house you have to take a picture twice, dang it !
It's been like that for a while. It sucks when you do apartments
The first dsp i worked for rescues were mandatory..i quit after 3 weeks and went with a new dsp that never makes us do rescues
