I've been working for a DSP in Connecticut for a little over 2 years now. The only training we had was watching all the videos and then doing the test at the end. We never had to take a road test for the blue vans. The nursery routes started off using the smaller white vans after that they moved us to the bigger vans.
I have a road test in about a hour lol I'm trying not to be nervous because I've driven bigger vehicles before but I've never had the pressure of a job that I really want while driving those bigger vehicles
Driving one of those delivery vans is pretty easy, I drove 18 wheelers over the road , the CDL test is definitely not easy at all and it has to be taken first before you even get to see a truck, and if anyone has driven an 18 wheeler then you know lol one wrong move on the road or just back the truck up to dock could be a disaster and that’s something that one has to consider, my last job before applying for a Delivery job at Amazon was not good, I was on call 24/7 365 and was driving a full size Chevy 3500 work Van with no backup cameras and a Van full of Windshields and other assorted glass for vehicle’s, it was a thankless job as well, no matter how good of a job I did it wasn’t good enough for the customer, and standing in the cold and inclement weather sometimes replacing a windshield or other glass that needs replacing is not a job I enjoyed and the pay wasn’t to good either $16.00 an hour with no raise and only partial benefits, so to not make this to long working as an Amazon delivery driver is going to be great .
Just took the driving test. On day 2 here in Asheville. 27 degrees off site about 5 miles from Amazon warehouse. We were allowed to go thru and continue the training , training, training videos while sitting in our cars. ( thank god) . 9 of us. 20 minutes in van doing cone backing thru a course. I’m 54. Drove all my life. Also landscaping business back 12 ft trailer and 18 ft truck every day. This test Amazon test is very difficult. Almost beyond believe. Backing through football fields of cones numbered. Weaving in and out. According to the app on device. It’s tougher than I would have ever imagined. I believe I failed. But the instructor liked me or they are desperate. Then finished test told to go back to class room and finish videos, videos, videos, videos, and more videos. 2.5 hours more on day 2 finally got to final exam. Give you 2 shots to get 80%. I told my self. Fuck it I got 1 shot. I’m very frustrated. Was last student to finish. 2 others did not come back. So they failed. Wow. On to day three! Damn!😁
Just took my driving test. It was kinda hard! Plus im like borderline dyslexic at least i felt like it tryna back that van thru the cones haha. Im fuckin shocked i didn't hit a cone. Fr
Wassup man, thank you for this! Was wondering what the breaks looked like during a 10 hr shift? And can u bring your lunch bag and gallon of water in the van?
I think you mentioned before you were a mail carrier. I’d be interested in a video on working for the postal service vs Amazon and pros and cons of both. Thanks!
I start my test in a week, I wonder how the driving test will be for me. I drove a pick up in Manhattan for a few years when I worked there so I think I’ll be good.
Does Amazon have a gas card you use? Does Amazon provide full coverage insurance on the van unlike the postal service? How many days do you work a week?
If you had the van with the camera! Only look at the camera to find the cone, you cameras will show you hitting the cones for sure, but you will see in your mirrors that you have plenty of room! The cameras through me completely off! Somebody in my class failed today and I ran over cones and never been in a car accident, but they did tell me not to trust the cameras because “they are wrong” but it’s distantly off, they are only good to see behind you
I was curious when the apps start to work. The addendum said to have all the apps signed in and activated before coming in. And none of the creds they gave me for signing in work lmao. And they never replied either hahaha I'm just winging it in like 2 days for my first day lol. Only my flex app and crew app work. Anyone else go through that?
Hi George, do we need our own personal phones in order to work there? I'm applying and they're asking me to download Amazon Flex on my phone (which for some reason, my phone won't allow) in order to do the background check, etc.
@@MudvilleGeorge Yeah, that's what I meant. My personal phone is broken and I was wondering if I needed to buy a new one just to get the background check done. Thanks for your help.
When I started at Amazon I had my 2 day of video and at my 3 days they tell me sorry your trainer call off last minute so they give me the key and the phone and tell me good luck and I was delivering packages
@@Ionut314 and funny enough I’m downing it for a year now and now I’m there number one drainer for new drivers and I trained about 50% of our current drivers lol
I'm really not worried about the driving test I'm worrying about the computer test what happens if you failed the computer test two times I heard you do not get a third time
I was hired as in Amazon driver, I had to download the flex app, I don't know why if we are not going to use it, is that something that I can just take off my phone?
Hey I went to my interview yesterday they hired me I did all my paperwork online I’m waiting for my background check I got a felony from 11 years ago will I get cleared
@@Max86030 no I'm going to start my training on Monday coming up so I'm nervous I heard a lot of stories about Amazon good and bad but I'm going to take my chances because right now I work for Goodwill and they only pay me a little bit of money $14 an hour I rather make $18 an hour sitting down 14 standing up all day but I'm pretty sure you'll be cleared I have a criminal record too welcome aboard
Hit a cone automatic fail. I passed first try way too easy literally basic skills. Driving test for your license is harder than Amazons driving test. There is nothing to it. Use your mirrors and reverse camera you should be good
LOL, dont think so. You plan on doing a reverse lane change anytime soon? Their so called "road test" is NOT even basic maneuvers, it's just made up BS. They dont even stick to their so called "training"! Clearly states to NEVER reverse, so WTF is most of their "road test" full of reversing when you are NOT supposed to?
We did three. And it was kind of a waste. You learn way more by actually doing the job and not sitting in a classroom. I could tell they were desperate for drivers cause the trainer was giving out the answers to the tests
@@joebotz1243 you barely drive in training. First 2 days was slide shows and quizzes. And then the 3rd day was a test and then you go out and drive between cones out on their course for 15 or so minutes
It might help if the Amazon delivery drivers could READ!!! Many of the delivery drivers are ILLITERATE! They can't tell a "5" from a "9" or a "1" from a "7"! They ALWAYS get the wrong address!
Thank you George for making all these encouraging videos 👍🏻🚙📦🎉
Thank you my guy!! I start tomorrow morning for training. You answered my every question 🙂 peace and love! Safe driving
Have fun
Finished my 2nd day training and we did our driving test today , now just more videos on our 3rd day and final exam

Unless you are like the worst driver lol 😆💀
I've had my license for over 4 years now but I've only been driving for less than a year so this test is gonna be tough for me
good lookin outt bru
Reverse parking is a piece of cake. Lol
Will be easy for me. I have about a years experience driving a straight truck delivering beer
Wassup man, thank you for this! Was wondering what the breaks looked like during a 10 hr shift? And can u bring your lunch bag and gallon of water in the van?

Does Amazon have a gas card you use? Does Amazon provide full coverage insurance on the van unlike the postal service? How many days do you work a week?
I failed my test .. I never drove a van before the instructor put me in the van with the phone and told me practice for 20 minutes with NO HELP
Oh wow really
@@MudvilleGeorge yes really! Amazon is basically too lazy to actually train people FIRST like they are supposed to.
Damn you can’t drive

don't worry, those trainers won't fail you, they will help you navigate :)
@@MudvilleGeorge thanks man you really are helping us all out

No, they provide u with a phone and charger. Yes u have to download flex from ur personal phone it’s for u to get into amazon database
@@MudvilleGeorge Yeah, that's what I meant. My personal phone is broken and I was wondering if I needed to buy a new one just to get the background check done. Thanks for your help.
Wat if I don't got service on my personal phone
@@abdiver12 you gotta let them know you can't do the background check on your phone or they're just gonna think you ghosted them
For me had me download it on my phone as well as the ADP app for logging in and out. They will provide phone for your route

Have you been liking the job?
@@nalsra0 at first yes but I’m no longer happy there my truck driver permit is on progress
Will I have to do ride along with a trainer after 3 day training 😩
Depends on your Dsp but most of the time, yes you have to
Ion watch them I was on my phone, skipped the videos passed every test
lol
Facts😂
Has anyone not showed up after the 3 day train?
You have an open book test after the class room. Is that hard?
Do they count as 10 hr shift for the 3 day shift if you only watch the videos & da driving tests for like 6 7 8 etc hours eech day?
No, only for 10 hours for first two days combined, but I have watched a lot of videos on RUclips and expected it.
Hi ..
Good content are the classes/ video paid
Driving test made me quit lol
How big are the packages? Do they give you a hand truck? Are they as big as large smart TVs?
They have a foldable hand truck in the van and most Amazon packages aren't heavy or huge.
I'm really not worried about the driving test I'm worrying about the computer test what happens if you failed the computer test two times I heard you do not get a third time
Is it a writing test?
How many? There are in the test
I know the background is very minimal but this looks like the facility I trained at in Antioch . Are you in Antioch ?
No I’m in mission viejo
