Since I've been gone, here's a 30 minute video of a 10 hour shift. Let me know if you like the longer videos 🔥
I prefer the longer videos ;)
Love the longer videos Chris
So you said you might not be working at Amazon in the future, are you heading back to FedEx or a similar courier service or something completely different?
@@LaosHouse Longer,of course!.👍
i thought you quit. I did lol
Nothing better than spending my 30 minute lunch break as an Amazon driver to watch Chris do my exact same job. I’m not complaining
xDDD
xddddd
I just pray for you you just joking around and I'm not even religious.
Your DSP allows a 30 min lunch break? I get 180 stops. Only on the schedule 2 maybe 3 days a week. I can't pay bills with this job
I hope you make it out, brother. No one needs that stress in their life.
Having a gas station right next to an amazon delivery warehouse must be a great revenue generator
Must be making bank
the real money maker in my experience at IND1 was everyone buying booze at the end of their shifts from the GetGo next door 😭
You'd really feel like they'd have their own gas pumps, like it must be expensive to fuel up every single one of those trucks
@@autumntx managing a gas pump would mean theyd need vendors for gasoline and a whole set of people dedicated to fuelling. i work as a mechanic for a truck leasing agency, our location has our own diesel, def, and gas pumps to service customers/drivers and i can tell you now it loses money just to maintain the infrastructure and keep buying the fuels and fluid to fill it compared to simply handing a driver a fuel card for the local speedway. BUT it is part of providing good customer service and it's seen as an amenity that allows us to keep customers, plus it gives some added convenience.
i work with fedex, there's a weigel's right down the road. in the mornings, it's like a fedex breeding ground 🤣
Lmao, that cat lady. Getting sucked in to a conversation when you're on the clock is the worst 🤣🤣
I'll sit and chat for a minute or two sometimes, but I've gotten pretty good at rushing through it without being rude. All about body language
@@nannerpuss9430 even with body language people just don't seem to get hints sometimes :D
Bro just has to be assertive "sorry ma'am I'd love to stand here and talk about cat litter but I'm on a clock"
Poor lady must be lonely, just wants someone to talk to
When you're on the clock, it's the best time to have a convo lol
So on top of driving and delivering the packages you also have to find and on load the packages to the van too. Brutal.
yeah. the worse part is you get less than 20 minutes to find and unload. whereas ups and fedex there really isn't a rush
In my delivery station, we had less than 15 min to load our vans😅😅
I think doing AMZ XL is better tbh way more laid back..
Ha ehh, idk about brutal. The associates that work at the delivery stations have it brutal lol. But it's all some form of team work in the end so whatever
-for example i have to get a 60yr old woman to run across the warehouse to collect and put his route together for delivery. She needs to complete it in X amount time and those totes can get pretty darn heavy for even a fit young man. She has to do at least 4 of these routes and that's after already working for 6hrs unloading, sorting, and stowing all the packages for the day. Modern day/ western sweatshop
But without drivers customers wouldn't get packages. Without warehouse associates drivers wouldn't get packages. Team work!
@@LaosHouse Definitely can confirm about FedEx lol. My truck is loaded for me every morning, although some mornings my truck is a complete disaster and I have to reorganize the entire thing anyways lol. I'm lucky to where I can start my day pretty much whenever as long as my timed deliveries are met and most days I am done before 4pm. Other drivers in my hub don't get back until well after 6 since they have heavy business routes with 5pm pickups, so I would say I lucked out.
My dsp talked about you in our morning meeting 😂 they said to "make sure you actually wear your seat belt even if you seen the video of the Asian guy sitting on it" lol jokes
Ay yo really???😂😂😂
Damn your dsp must suck lol are dsp allows the sitting on it trick
I would have laughed in their face because I have as they used his vids before as a “what not to do” yet they cram you with 189 stops and 521 packages (my route during that meet) fuck them
Ngl 😂i just started a couple weeks ago n they was definitely talking bout RUclipsrs
@@RMLK ups drivers do 200+ stops during peak, some during normal time
I just wanted to tell you that I have a new found respect for Amazon drivers, sometimes it just seems like magic when you click on something and it is there the next day. You never realize how much work it is to make that happen. Thank you!
Bro got stun locked by the cat lady 😂
I work at a Help Desk center and sometimes I get stun locked by these kind of interactions as well lol. It's nice sometimes that people see us more than just way of helping them in computer problems but sometimes I rather get on with my busy day. Still nice of these people to start a conversation randomally at times.
i think she was inviting him over to take a sneak peek at her 😺
@@eddiew2325ew bro get out of here man
@@eddiew2325you need to leave
Whoa why do they need to leave they didn't do anything wrong?@brysonlewisgaming5103
That guy that helped you out and didn’t take up too much of your time was a guy that respects the working man. I love meeting those people when I’m out doing my job.
Stay safe out there Chris!.😊❤ The Longer your videos the better😎
Stay safe out there lee
@@LaosHouse Thanks Chris,i will!.😊😎
@@LaosHouse nice job on your video
I had a part time job once working for a DSP & I can tell you from experience this is a young person’s job it’s very hard to get all of the packages delivered sounds easy but it’s not & I have a whole new respect for drivers so definitely have respect & even leave snacks out those snack stations people put out where a life saver.
Thanks for doing such a Professional Job of Delivering our Packages. 👍🙏
Honestly 30 minutes felt like 3 minutes, loved the longer video please keep them coming
❤❤❤ I have been driving step van since last Christmas, it was fun to drive, with enough space but now after prime week, it’s back to normal route.
Bro you make the job look easier than it really looks
Y’all are beasts. 117 stops is nuts. 190 is not bearable enough for 25. Nice work out there pimp 🎉
i do about 160 stops a day lol
117 is a light route. Average in my area is probably 160 with around 400 pkgs
@@maxwellbaer1158 117 stops is country n maybe 1 or 2 neighborhoods i had picked up a day recently n got sent a hour n a half away only had 82 stops still worked 11hrs
25 an hour ?! My job post saying 21.50 in California
@@Goofykillem thats criminal i make the same in ohio n its cheaper here
That was very interesting tbh, really enjoyed the longer video. Hope you’ll still make content even after working for Amazon. I appreciate you bro🙏
Such a nice area. I am not sure why people dunk so much on Amazon lockers. You get to stand in front of a machine dumping multiple packages in it. Score!
This was a cool video to watch! I order from Amazon weekly, it’s nice to see the other side. Thank you for delivering.
the fact they dont have someone load your trucks .... is crazy... this is how UPS is different i get it its extra bodies but you could get a extra hour everyday of delivering
lol an hour they only give us 15 minutes to load up
At my warehouse, we can help drivers load up their vans, if we have enough headcount to spare and so long as we aren't falling behind staging routes. Since we start at around 8:50 - 9 AM after sort is done, and the first wave of drivers isn't until 9:30-ish. At most we have around 4 people each, on our two launchpads helping with load out. Of which only 2 are actually able to help load if necessary.
yep UPS is better on that
I work for a Dsp in mass our step vans have 170-190 stops with around 380-450 packages it’s wild
7:46 I love the old school bell ringing at gas stations. It's nice to hear it still being used. 🙂
our warehouse would yell in our faces if we even thought of stepping foot off our vans before they yell load out. I'm glad i left recently, I could only handle 4 months of this job with all the safety hazards with the vans and how dirty they were. Sometimes the brakes would fail us and the vans would stop on steep hills in rural areas. screw that!
yeah that was the thing that kinda shocked me the most.ive worked for 3 total dsp's and every single one has acted like the earth itself would implode and explode at the same time if you didnt wait for the all clear lol. job overall is kinda ridiculous i cant lie, preach safety but folks will get mad if you take breaks in the heat/cold, actually take your lunch and shit etc. just brutal lmao
Were you working at Amazon?
As a warehouse worker that works in a drt that has to deal with the packages before you take them, this is actually so interesting
This video is bringing me back my traumas as a delivery driver. I was a student, and fortunately got my way out and graduated. Currently an engineer with a cushy job making far more than I was slaving away at amazon. Funny, I hated the job but maybe I miss the experience and feelings associated with it.
I went from Amazon (hated it) to Fedex(was alright) to UPS. Been at UPS for 2 years now, got a seasonal gig as a driver and when it was up they saw how fast and efficient I was so they kept me. Amazing job, amazing benefits. Same work, WAY more money and the health insurance is out of this world. Now that I’m comfortable, I’m going to college to become a Sheriffs deputy. Stay away from Amazon tho, seriously.
Been driving for UPS for over 10 years. The packages inside the bags would annoy me after a while. Respect to what all delivery drivers do though. People think it's easy out there
You aren't lying. I just retire from UPS with an amazing pension! Job gave me a good life. Paid off 600k house and put my daughter through college
I asked ups workers. And they said that things are changing. They are consolidating stops. They also start you at 17.50 an hour as a driver. I make a lot more than that at Amazon. And the packages that we have are not as heavy. And I also heard that for you to make more money you need to be there for some time. That is what they call it a progression period. And someone who works for ups told me that that progression period is either 2 or 4 years.
@haralabosmihalis You are getting wrong info. Part time truck loaders make more then $17 an hour. You start at $24 an hour as a driver and hit $50 an hour after 4 years. Not just the pay but UPS spends 50k a year on amazing benefits! Don't waste your time doing the same work for way less money! I'm making more retired on a UPS pension then most people make working.
@ since I started with Amazon they have made so many changes. They got so much better. We got our wages increased. We got retirement benefits. So things got so much better since two years ago. The work load got lighter. They added more routes on each dsp for Christmas. I also heard that ups will not keep the union after 5 years. I read that on the internet. And I don’t have to pay union fees.
Hey Chris i appreciate these realistic videos of yours, Ive been a driver now since April and while some days can be better your tips definitely helped me. I've even gotten front runner award already and some cash bonuses from my dsp
I absolutely adore you Chris! I love all the videos from the fedex vlogs to the Amazon and whatever else. You can do no wrong!
I like the longer format videos. I'm sure you could even get away with doing 45m and people would still watch it and love it.
You Are Strong And Wise Chris And I Am Very Proud of You!! ❤️ 🙏
I am really impressed that how nicely the delivery guys are being treated out there, sorry but in my country people are not treating them the way they should and same goes with them, many delivery guys don't even care about the orders!
Love seeing you upload again. I understood your sentiment last video about looking to leave. Infact the choice was made for me as my dsp is shutting down next month. So I will be laid off on the last day we do deliveries.
Anyways cool to see different people's routes. I typically do rural routes so it was interesting to see you navigate multi story office buildings. For me 100 stops 150 packages is a lot lol. However rural is more spread out. I also did XL and 50 stops is a lot for them.
While there are things I will miss about the job. I will not miss being overworked by Amazon. I was starting to get burned out. Hopefully I can get by on unemployment until the next grind. I appreciate the suggestions and your videos helped me speed up. I wish you best of luck in the future with whatever you pursue.
These are so interesting and fun to watch. I like seeing the inside of all the businesses. I LOVE the longer videos, please more!
Love your vids so glad you’re back! So glad you’re getting the views you deserve !!
Been watching you for some time 🔥 keep it up bro ! I start In a few days and I’m excited , Seeing you back w/ Amazon must means it’s some good in it if you came back .. honestly I feel like if your a hard working and don’t mind getting to it the job is pretty cool
I used to work out of DCL 1 and remember when they were just starting the facility. It was certainly an experience I won’t forget. I used to sort my bags on the front seat of the ford vans we had. Other drivers would look at me funny but it made sense to me. 🤷🏻♂️
Nice work! It's nice to see how it's done! Thanks Chris!
Wassup Chris,
I’m done with Amazon DSP on February 14,2024 I got injured very serious injury on my lower back my lumbar spine.
Ever since that day my lower back never been the same.. that day I got 118 stop 249 package 📦just be careful man.
Make a personal injury claim mate ...
Got here by a random video recommendation. Very interesting to see and with great presentation. Had my attention so much so I noticed that fire hydrant and sign @21:35
Mad respect to you drivers. Thank you for delivering all my late night impulse buys, and the planned purchases too!
Thanks for sharing this inside view to the monster known as AZN.
I always enjoy your videos man. Thanks you for all your hard work!
When I think of almost any job. I feel like amazon would push my BY FAR the farthest out of my comfort zone. How do you not freak out always going to places and not always knowing where to go. You can't always ask for help and your coworkers cant help you. Doesnt that give you any anxiety? What about driving in so many different places? Do you ever worry about crashing the van. Driving that close to people in a van would stress me out ontop of not knowing where to put a package in a big building would give me an unbearable amount of anxiety, plus being pushed to go faster by your boss. I really would struggle with this. Props to you for showing this!
Do DoorDash and Ubereats. It’ll definitely help you with anxiety. Delivered over 2k deliveries.
Wimp
Thanks!
I'm not even close to the age of being able to do any type of job but. I LOVE these video's! Something about them is just so amazing to me if I do want to do this type of job I will take in the advice from you. Your SUPER COOL!
Oh my :O gas is cheap in the states. Enjoyed watching this, I'm a postman in Sweden, we deliver amazonpackages along with other packages as well, and mail of course.
Unexpected cameo from the famous 11'8 bridge!
That is the wrong 11'8 bridge, sadly.
@@KippoKupo Well the 11'8" bridge isn't actually 11'8" anymore anyway they raised the trestle so it's now 12'4".
Love you are back to making videos!! Welcome back hope all has been well for you!!
Video was absolutely fantastic. In favor of the longer videos. It was therapeutic just watching you do deliveries lol
Love your videos man! They are relaxing!
that girl was yapping lol
I love your videos man! Please never quit!!
Never quit, love the vids
I'm sure he would if Amazon paid better
@@JayC-xv9lh I understand that for sure. Cost of living is so high that people have to make close to 6 figures a year to live comfortably and it sucks
@@JayC-xv9lh They should pay him better, he is helping Jersey one package at a time.
I just watch cause I feel bad for how much Amazon pays and how they treat employees. Chris is gonna create his own delivery service with this RUclips $$$
Damn a new video at 23:20 my time, i love it fr man
i gotchu my brother!
what do you mean?
@@Uhh.thankyou he means that he got the video at 11pm
@@Chinemeremdozie oh ok that is a random comment lol
@@Uhh.thankyou indeed it is
Mad respect for the drivers and dock workers
Something so simple, someone so entertaining.😂
The step van just takes me back to the time I worked at FedEx 😭
haha same sometimes
EDVs are so much better. Get a radio, heated seats, and no parking brake.
Love the scooter! I delivered for Amazon for a short time and those large complexes drove me crazy!
00:08 theres a whole youtube channel dedicated to people who dont follow this lol
Lmao I just did the Leonardo Dicaprio pointing when I saw that
NYC also cuts a foot off the clearance on many of their bridges. I drive semi and been to NYC once, it's sketchy when you see a sign that says 12'6 but in reality it's 13'6 and you can barely squeeze under
How do I make it bro in NYC financially? Is it true you must make 7 figures or more? Just like L.A., Chicago, or SF?
He said he had been to NYC once.
Pull up apartments in chicago homie, i’ll just say it’s hardly comparable to those other 3 cities.
The vast majority of people who live in the other 3 most certainly do not make 7 let alone 6 figures. To answer the question about nyc specifically, you would most likely need to move to an outer bureau, have roomates, or rent “creatively”.
If there is a will, there is a way.
Yessir. You the reason I started working at Amazon. My ride along is tmr
Clocked out a couple hours ago and here I am watching people do what I do. It’s like Amazon is following me 🤣
Heck yeah ! Keep the videos coming!! 👍
loved watching this i work in amazon warehouse sorting out the parcels !
Thank god peak season is over, and thank you Chris for introducing me to the amazon job! it ain't easy but it's not difficult either i feel
Now THIS is peak RUclips 🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥
Thank you Merry Christmas ❤👏🏼Thank you for your hard work
Wrapping the seatbelt over the wheel is what a lot of us do in the EDVs as well. I recommend actually wearing the seatbelt properly tho, especially since you have more consequences for any infractions you get with a DOT cert. Pretty much the only meaningful advantage of the EDVs other than COOOLLLD A/C and cooled seats is you mostly get the StepVan experience without needing the cert since the vehicle weighs like, 9000 lbs I believe?
Hey I know you recently said you want to stop working at amazon and I just want to say I think that's great you've put in your time but I would still love to see videos they don't have to be the working for a delivery job I think you could easily transition into a "van life" type of channel you can show us your build progress and you would get to travel around and be on the road just a suggestion from me I think it would be awesome (If your curious about van life channels I recommend ryantwomey and trent the traveler) any ways have a great day man! :)
Belt on the steering wheel is genius! I'm gonna start doing it tomorrow!
"If you're interested in the stepvan." Well, sir, I had no idea what it was until I clicked. Now I'm watching 30mins about it. XD
Great insight for your job meeting interesting people, All the best from the UK.
So insane. I used to work right in that area where you are delivering years ago. I recognized every place you went to
I used to work at dhl Amsterdam and the delivery vans don't look like this 😂 they look like a horders paradise when being loaded up 😂
We don't have the P700 bread trucks but we did have smaller steps vans with the same back door latch. They used to give us gas cards, but drivers weren't putting accurate mileage in or saving recipients, and gas theft got bad. We have a company that comes at night. BTW, Amazon states not to put the package directly in front of the door. Between porch pirates and the package being in the open, to people not being able to open the door or stepping on them. Plus if you give it to someone you need a name and a signature.
Been watching you since ground man what a journey it’s been 💪🏽
For the USPS we have to scan every individual Amazon/USPS barcode and our scanner will say a sequence number 1-1200 based on the house number. We then write that number on the white paper sticker and then organize thee lower numbers towards the front as we drive our daily routes. Usually we get 2 tubs of boxes/packages, some routes that are larger get 3 tubs.
Thanks for the tour. Now I have a better understanding of how Amazon deliveries are done.
That belt trick helps with also having to do traffic control and getting out and in of the trucks to put signs up or down
Just started getting into your vids. Very relaxing - keep up the long content!
I'm a former Amazon Driver, now Class A driver. I have so many positive memories from that time. The step vans were always my favorite with the electric vans in close second. The rush of loading my van and getting all my packages organized always got me pumped for the day. 180 stops... just relaxing and taking it at my pace. Making people smile, getting snacks and water from kind customers. Petting dogs and cats (if safe enough). Getting done between 5:30 and 6pm. Everyday was a new exciting challenge.
Thank you for bringing back my nostalgia. Keep up the awesome work and stay safe out there! 💙
I never see any of my drivers. They're running to the truck by the time i open the door.😁
Shoutout from Lansing, Michigan. We also have a bridge that regularly eats delivery vehicles
I really enjoyed the journey of delivering the package order, hello from Indonesian Mr. Chris🙂
Love watching your videos Chris! You're so upbeat! I'm an older guy looking to get into either FedEx or Amazon delivery. Just curious if you know of any older guys (between 55-60) that deliver? Oh, and good luck with your DSP. I sincerely hope you'll still have a job.
No way I found another Laotian Chris as an Amazon delivery driver I just got hired can’t wait to start working!
How is it?
@@MaeNeb it’s hell. I’m expected to do 25-30 stops per hour in a suburban/rural area where about 40% of the customers just leave their dogs out waiting to attack, lots of trump supporters, every single driveway is either half a mile long or more with gravel, I still have a sprained ankle and I’ve been working about a month, I haven’t taken a break since the first week I worked, I get in trouble for “moving too slow” everytime I take a break to pee, it’s genuinely impossible to hit their expectations in this town that I work in. And our dsp hits us with violations if we go over 5 mph over the speed limit so if you’re in a 25mph neighborhood, regardless of how open the road is or how much you’re being pressured you’re either in trouble for “moving slow” or for driving too fast. The pay is trash, it’s 22 an hour but the fact that I get rushed to finish a 150 route stop within 4 hrs makes it impossible to get anything more than 25 hrs a week, and I’m about to get fired because someone attacked my van but they’re pinning the blame on me because I didn’t immediately report, I texted as soon as it happened and tried to continue with my route because I was already behind. It’s not a good job.
@@MaeNeb not to mention that the phones we get don’t last more than 4 hrs into my route and glitch all the time so I’m wasting at least half an hour overall on every route between dealing w the app glitching, the gps taking me down the wrong driveway or wrong direction, the camera phasing out right before taking a picture, or having to call customers to put their dogs inside with no replies, it’s just ass
I'm a doordasher! and I can't help but notice how similar our jobs really are. loading and unloading those vans is a pain in the ass. used to do FedEx Ground distro before I started dashing.
reminds me of a time when me and my friend ryder went on a house tour(in this typa van)...........
As a mail carrier I always find it interesting in how all the delivery companies load their trucks.
I know this gonna sound like a stupid question but what is your average starting time for deliveries? I don’t care when what time you start at I care when you start delivering packages.
now i know why somethings from amazon are damaged in shipping.
yeah they go everywhere no straps to keep them safe
i will never drive for amazon after getting my DOT med card and getting my CDL amazon is trash to work for u can find way better driving jobs respect you for doing it
This vehicle looks like it was slotted together by a 5 year old. With random standard Ford parts just stuck onto it. Love it.
This is actually a chill and easy job. Better than working concrete in 100 degree weather best believe
I really wish they had air suspension 😂😂😂you feel every bump on the road
Funny thing about the warehouse and how they are supposed to load those carts. All those bag have different weights in them and some of them collapse when a heavy bag is placed on them.
Gotta love the talkers 27:38
Thank you for this video…. very interesting & appreciate explaining…..stay safe!
You can tell cat lady works by herself. Sounds like me when I get off my nightshift
I never thought watching someone do a delivery job would be fun to watch
Love this one. Keep up the good work.
man 100+ stops that is nuts, i have 14 max before getting help :) but i deliver food to stores/gas stations and smaller kiosks, and i drive a box truck that hit around 10 tons fully loaded.
I get more and more respect for you guys 👍👍💪💪💪💪💪💪❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
