Old veteran here, I started driving for Amazon in 2019 until 2021,everything was shut down for COVID, nowhere to use the bathroom at all. We were ground zero in Connecticut for getting things done, I remember when the mentor app first came out and pre and post trip inspections. I decided to deliver again, 3 years later, it looks like a few things have changed like the Drivers Aid number, that was not like that before. I just had my over flow packages addresses facing out. And I had a mail carrier bin on the front seat for my envelopes. Safety was and still is a big deal for me and I consistently kept an 850 Fico score, Amazon must've missed me, my back ground check came back in an hour. Oh, I will be keeping my own dolly and small mail bin. Snacks and first aid kits, always always verify your addresses and read all of the customer notes.
** Never ever leave your sliding doors or any doors open as you exit the vehicle. Anything can be stolen at anytime, and it's a big safety hazard if you forget to close the door and things start flying out. If some animal is loose it can run into your van. I know it kills some time, but safety again is my biggest issue
Facts I’m a dsp driver in Florida so she right👍🏿
love it and when you get use to a certain area you know where to worry and if your stuff is strapped up (upcoming in a future video) you'll never have to worry about stuff falling out & As far as animals go I've yet to come across a loose aggressive dog but believe me lol these boots are ready lmao 👏
I used to deliver Amazon parcels for USPS & "Hated It" back in November 2021 here in Southern Oregon, but now they just about to open a warehouse & need a bunch of drivers.
They emphasize it's a physical job, training to be a school bus driver, I'm about to turn 62, I think Amazon is too much hustle for this stage in my life.....Excellent vid...Three Thumbs Up!
Thanks so much and I agree the school bus driving might be better on the body and Goodluck with the new job! Thanks for watching and the kind words
Thank You for what you do for all of us customers. I appreciate you. I hope you have a safe and wonderful day today. 😊
Appreciate you and keep ordering so I can keep making videos lmao jk TY so much this comment made my day today!
Been a driver for almost 2 years, i love it. Most routes are 170-200 stops 300-400 packages. Always done by 5 then do a couples rescues. A good tip for people just starting out is dont be too slow or fast. be right in the middle. Cause if youre too fast and always do rescues then they will always expect the same and theyll keep feeding you more and more.
But my biggest tip you already seem to possess. A good attitude goes a long way!
what’s the downside to moving slow if they can’t necessarily fire you for performance
@@rancutit they can fire you for poor performance.
1000% Appreciate the advise and so true! You my friend are built different to love this job I've been hearing nonstop lmao
The driver aid tag. If it’s overflow and has a letter like an X y z. I heard it’s best to put the letter that comes first in front and the last letter in back
100%
Hey bro can you please do a video of common app issues like for example the orange circle pin pont issue when delivering. Excellent video btw! I like your enthusiasm and energy. I start on my own tomorrow!! Hopefully they’ll give me an easy route to start with😜
love the idea and BTW I do cover some of the app issues in todays new video plz check it out and thanks for the kind words really do appreciate it and hope it been smooth of ya
I started to deliver for Amazon back in Pennsylvania, now I live in Florida, from than to now, Amazon routing is all messed up. I don't care about how many stops or packages I get, I care about how to stops are set up, because normally I am in a busy area, with apartments, business, and houses and they expect me to be finish at a certain time....I drive step vans, what I do I always have one middle clear for my packages and I would empty 2-3 totes and organize it by street names. and keep all my overflow on one side...
very good system and thanks for the info brother! 🤘
9:56 lmaoo "no dogs"
Lmao just when you think you're safe thanks for watching!
i start tomorrow first day delivering, i'm suppose to be by myself when i start out loading how do i know where my first stop will be? and ain't you suppose to stop your engine and take the keys with you at every stop that's what i was told in training and my DSP
yes typically you are suppose to turn off the vans except in summer time to leave to AC running and have fun!
Dam I got 90 business stops alone plus about 70 resi stops and 10 pickups on my UPS route. This looks lovely
90 stops is more like 120-30 with the multi location shit some can be 300 packages still amazon sucks ass
thats one crazy ass marker lol
The bigger the better
15:13 its like you felt me coming here
im, considering going back to amazon. i worked for them november 2022 to late may 2023 in loveland and cheyanne. guess im possibly refreshing my mind with youtube videos about amazon. ill probably be asking for a higher rate like 21-22 an hour compared to my 18.75 i was earning for the 7 months i was there
Goodluck and thanks for stopping by!
Can't believe you can leave your van open with the parcels on show and not have it stolen. Do that around here (Birmingham, UK, and it would be robbed within seconds.
Dude is doin delivery’s in business areas and the country.. Any city in America they’ll get robbed as well
lol luckliy I delivery in a great area where that is not a factor lol thanks for watching
Yeah, I'm starting next week...
Noticed that seat belt trick. Doesn't Netradyne catch that you're not clicking/ unclicking the buckle?
Sucks your DSP doesn't provide hand trucks/dollies
I have my foldaway one ready as well, because I heard they're not staying with the vans (AKA growijg legs and walking away), so they gave up on providing them 😢
@@vegasconfessionspodcast8202 yup, as long as the camera sees it's over the shoulder whenever you're rolling to the next stop👍
Seems we're all just a number in the Amazon algorithm and the DSPs have to do whatever they need to keep their scores high
I'm out of nursery now and just averaging about 200-240 locations a day (30-40 minutes from the DS to the First stop doesn't help the 10.5 planned day)
They're already taking ot volunteer days for prime week and the week after
It's more of a question if allowed by the DSP itself some frown on it and some don't at all thanks for watching
@@AmazonDeliveryTipsTricks yup, as long as Netradyne see the belt across the chest... IDK about rentals and using mentor app yet though
Contemplating driving. What do you do with packages when it's raining or looks like rain?
I try to hide the phone under packages to prevent it from getting wet and of course always try to avoid a spot where it will get soaked and I have also seen drivers bring small t-shirt bags too for their packages to prevent them from getting wet lol
Bro can you please make a video about how to deal with the GPS orange circle issue?
yep new vid just dropped with some tips about the flex app tooThanks for watching
I had one last week (I'm Flex) that asked for a signature and when he came to the door he seem surprised and asked me when did we start requesting signatures LOL. I told him that usually means the customer requested it and he said he didn't. Weird.
so what's even worse is sometime the customer had it set to a previous order then hasn't ordered for a while and when they do amazon just keeps it as a signature recipient, Sometimes it can be an expensive item too the seller wants confirmation for the delivery and as I driver I would just let the customer know its seems to be a amazon thing and they usually understand, Hope this helps and thanks for watching
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
That drive i picks up now when you don’t buckle just fyi incase anything happens. I was informed by my dps showed me just pulling it over my chest
How mad were they?
@@bernadettedeady4909 they gave me a violation lucky I was still basically new so not that harsh but if you are with the dsp for a while they kinda expect you to know I kinda did not get it that bad but just fyi every dsp is different
They see EVERYTHING we are doing at all times and it's more of a problem if not accepted by the DSP as most DSP don't mind as they know it helps us drivers move faster but I can see whee a driver has had incidents in the past and they want him/her doing everything by the book too
@@bernadettedeady4909 they see everything in all vehicles except the rental vans lol
Regarding the pinpoint thing that you were going back to the business. Is there a way in the app (I'm flex so maybe it's different) to correct entry into a gated subdivision? I can't tell you how many times the app routes you to a resident entry only gate with no callbox. I have to bring up my Waze app and look to see where there is another entrance into the subdivision and it can sometimes be 2 or more miles away to the main gate. So frustrating!
I usually just call the customer let them know who you are and get the code which is usually faster or on the call box itself just hit the 1st name you see and tell them amazon delivery and they will open up the gates for you and from there if you get a I didn't order a package from the person go the the next name lol I never had to go to the next name so for lol
@@AmazonDeliveryTipsTricks Thanks for the reply but this is a gate without a call box. It's resident in/out only that has the QR reader that reads the barcode sticker on their car. No way to enter codes or call the customer. We have a lot of gated neighborhoods down here in the Sarasota FL area. You have to search for where the main gate to the subdivision is which can be miles away. But the darn Amazon gps always guides you to those resident only gates and it's a big waste of time. I was hoping there was a way to tag that entrance as a "no go" so for future drivers it guides them to the correct gate.
@@alandavis9319 Wow how crazy and I guess the nest best thing to do would be to text/call the customer while leaving there prior stop to give you access sounds like the best hope and once you are in the subdivision you should be good and sorry I think I missed the no call box part lol
I'm about to start working for FedEx my question is how do you handle aggressive dogs?
Snacks always help distract them and sometimes i'll leave a package on a car in the driveway and honk a few times in the van to get the customer to come outside They won't get mad about you not wanting to test their dog lol
Hey im signing the packages myself if i were u and i know how long business take when half the route is like that
And dude bought a dolly? No way.
@@educatedhorses193 you would be amazed how much it comes in handy lol work smarter not harder
Alot of drivers do especially when in a rush
My first day of training starts today. When will I be able to deliver by myself?
After you pass your test and get your stuff set up it’ll be the next week when your on the schedule
Hey how's it going? Are you still with amazon
@@Rsd578 yes i actually was working early today
within about 3 days you should be on your own
wow now i know why you make the money you do been trying to get on as a driver its not easy here
Stay on it keep applying at different DSP's and you will sneak your way in and its not a bag gig at all I don't think! thanks for watching
Wait, what van is this not a step van or regular?
They call those CDVs
yes we call these CDV's
Does your warehouse say if you mark on the boxes it will cost Amazon lawsuit from the customer?
Never heard of this as it just helps us stay organized
@@AmazonDeliveryTipsTricks i new its BS, i work as driver, amazon says we cant mark on boxes
@@36boys.that’s crazy wtf
@@jorge7246 it is crazy. Amazon bullies drivers a lot. We deliver more packages than any other carriers
And I have an interview with them Monday it just seemed confusing
Good luck
You will get it. You have an entire community to help you if your dsp doesn’t explain things all the way through first day. We got you. At least I do good luck
@@jaystechroom thanks
I get 140 stops all business and apartments 0 lockers
Doesn't sound like a bad route all and the lockers are fun but also 20 packages as 1 stop too so both good and bad as it can take a lil time when the apps not working right
Why does Amazon seem like the most confusing job especially drivers the way they sort the packages out it seems so confusing
It not that confusing. I just got to read the last two numbers on the sticker because it goes in numeral order.
It gets alot easier to understand the madness lol
Some sort their totes out by street, other by driver's aid #
During the first 2 weeks of nursery phase 1-3, you find out what works for you
I like separating them by the driver aid numbers on groups of 10
Never back out into the street.
