Why I Don't Always Drive The Rivian Electric Delivery Van
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 май 2023
- People always ask me why I'm not in the Rivian electric vehicle and today's vlog I will be answering that question. Although I think the step vans are still a lot of fun to drive compared to the Rivians.

The 360 camera I think is cool I also love the videos you're doing a good job, also I really dislike the cargo van for me everything looks to clunky.
LMFAO
I would try to deliver a thousand packages. But I'm not in the US so I can't.
Is Amazon more packages to deliver that fexdx?
@@pilot_man I despise the cargo vans
As a truck driver I've worked for a few large fleets and it's always baffled me why they put new drivers in their newest/most expensive trucks, they almost always get trashed.
So wierd to see how this works in the US! I'm a delivery driver for DHL in The Netherlands and our way of is so diffrent, smaller shifts, smaller vans and so on... Would be cool to do a comparisin!
Hopefully some day those vans also come over here, would be funny seeing them drive around!
I also do DHL in the Netherlands, indeed our work here looks way better. And the smaller vans are afcourse because our places are smaller
@@julianmeijer6324how much packages do you guys get on average. I’m Amazon driver in Northern California
@@julianmeijer6324Can you explain more please? Why it is better in Netherlands :)
Your country is the size of our town, so yeah, things work easier in a much much much much much smaller place
For the mailroom thing, I would always just call dispatch and have them mark all packages left in a mail room like that as delivered and it would avoid having to take pictures of every item
My dispatcher is assholes they made me work after throwing up from Covid 19 symptoms, they said take a lunch and keep going. If I ask for that they will mess with my job.
Ye why does he have to take images of all of ‘em if he can take the images in one go?
We can't do it where I work.. we have to take pictures of each damn package!
Yeah it’s one of the performance metrics that Amazon tracks. We have to take a picture of each order one by one even when delivering many at once 🤷🏻♂️
I always take a break and enjoy the view if im delivering near a lake or by the Bay or beach. Not everything about this job is about delivering packages, for me its about getting out there and explore new areas while also "working out" and getting paid while doing it! Thats a win win IMO...
it's a win until you're assigned to a downtown route
@@heavenbxl9126 😂🤣…oh, i do have downtown routes and all commercial routes as well. If you load your truck and have an efficient routine on how to deliver, you’ll be always heading back home 2-3hrs earlier.
yep. great aspects of the job.
@@TheCardGuyHWyou’re paid hourly though, why would you want to finish 2-3 hours earlier than necessary?
@@TBB0LTZZ because I still get paid my full shift regardless if I finished my route in 5-6hrs. For example I get paid biweekly, I “worked” 64hrs, but still got paid 80. Granted, that is part of my incentives, I can’t have no violations and my FICO score for the period must be over 800
I love this channel for your positive attitude and outlook. It’s entertaining and kind of chill to have on in the background while I do other stuff.
I used to work as an amazon driver in Berlin, Germany it was a lot of work man... Like everyday i would do 12+kms of walking it was too much
Pedestrian zones are the worst to work in, I remember achieving 20 stops in 2 hours lol
It's definitely a workout. I always get my 10,000 steps in
N USA u do EZ 20 miles 😂
How many kilos of weight did you lose?
Gut zu wissen
I really like how you have driver meetings. I’ve been a delivery driver for 3 years and had multiple jobs and they’ve always just sent us out with no real advice or anything and left you to figure it out by yourself.
Yeah, Amazon always looks for a way to slow us down and this time its with taking 1000 pictures in "one" stop. Thanks AMAZON!
Everybody say it with me "THANKS AMAZON!"
@@LaosHouse THANKS AMAZON!"
THANKS AMAZON!
I don’t know who you are but I’m happy algorithm found you in my feed you do such a good job being positive and doing your daily duties keep it up stay safe out there!
here from Emily´s stream, thanks for the stick! Love the chill videos!! Awesome channel!
Cool videos. I'm an Amazon Flex driver and just got hired for a DSP. Been checking this videos out to see what I'm in for. Stay safe out there!
Found you through emilys stream, youve got a great energy! Very interesting to see the delivery life also, keep it up
The ending of the video where you sat down to enjoy the view is probably my fave part of the job so far 🔥
after a long hard day of work, cruising into the sunset and driving back to station/home. best feeling ever
Great videos- I worked for a DSP for a couple months, you definitely make it look easier than it is!
Right man I thought the same
Thing like fuck he makes it look easy and relaxing.
@@redhelmetmann its either it's paid by the hour (so finishing the shift early = won't earn all the rest of the hours) or he rather takes it easy and takes all day to deliver since he probably don't do anything much at home so there's not so much stress to rush
i rush just because i wanna spend time with my gf
Wishing you all the best with your Amazon adventures :)
as a driver for USPS i'd get laughed at if I cleaned my windows. I barely finish routes in 8 hours with shortcuts, let alone, maintaining the vehicles. They were built in the 80's and I think the only time they've been cleaned is rain.
I’m currently helping out another contract in Montana. If I need to get groceries, the step van is my whip 😂 it’s all I have to get around. Averaging 200-500 packages every day. Respect to you man! Love your videos
“If a tactical nuke falls directly on you, call dispatch.”-management :)
Hey man! I'm enjoying your content. I'm a fellow Amazon Delivery Driver in Denver, CO.
This camera is amazing I love it
Did my first day today as a Amzan delivery driver was kinda nervous but I had a blast
the first days are always great if you get nursery routes. I'm glad you had a blast!
@@LaosHouseMy first day I was supposed to have a nursery route but ended up having over 170 stops! Luckily on the first day everyone had a trainee with them so that helped a lot!
Hello thanks for the great video! Keep up the good work!
appreciate it Nico!
I don’t know how the algorithm got me to your content but I love it 😂
the slightly crooked wheel really bothered me lol. cool video! very informative, and interesting!~
I love the vlogs sooo much man! I hate 360 tho, makes me sick...
thx for selfie stick
found you on ExtraEmily stream, i also work with Amazon
your cool hut saves your head and neck from new jersey heat great idea Chris , i worked by DHL in Germany kind regards and stay strong bro
yep. Always protect your skin with big hats and sunscreen.
Great job on your Rivian videos
thank you pr hammer!
in the UK, we dont have the EVs but every normal amazon van i've seen has always had some sort of damage to it like a massive dent or scratches 😂
They do have Mercedes sprinter ev's just not the Rivian...their entire delivery service fleet is now electric
diesel/petrol ford transits where I am @@tongieskido1
@ 7:55 nothing feels better than this moment. God bless generous people like this tipping your amazon driver should become the new norm 🙏
You guys do so much better than UPS/Fedex/DHL. It was hell back in the day to deal with those companies. Thank god for Amazon!
Dont miss this job at all but i do wish i had the chance to drive the newer vehicles.. i was there when they just started transitioning from uhaul vans and finally started getting uniforms.
Hey Laos can you make a video about the Amazon exam question and answer of how hard or easy it is nobody talks about those things. You got my subscribe 👍 love your videos
Great video!
thanks Scades
I saw you on ExtraEmily's Stream. Yo.
Chris what are you doing following me early in the vid?.....
Dude cucumber hose well with salmon and cream cheese too... Looks like you got Newark...Fun...I cut through there on the SWA routes to Rahway. Non toll road ...hehehe...
Keep truckin.....
stay safe my brother
That carbon fiber steering wheel is HARD!!
dude love from Bulgaria (as you may know the country with the first order in Amazon, back in 94). I like your work commitment and the fact you share even the negatives of the job. Me, myself have never worked in any type of delivery service but i really enjoy your videos. Love from the wild East of the EU :)
cool vid manee and nice camera
thank youuuuu!
I never understood why they didn’t assign the same
Vans to the same driver. There’s two shift so two drives could be on the same can.
Came here from Emily! You were so nice on her stream.
I love your civic!! So fire 🔥😁
thanks. I have some civic videos on my channel 🔥
U going down those apt. stairs reminiscent of spike Lee delivering pizzas in Do the Right Thing lol
I love all your deliveries videos I watch all of them @LaosHouse
yo saw you on stream!
8:22 😲 It's been pre-played with! 😲 😆
I will definitely come to work for y'all!
Hey I love your videos. It gives me a lot of insight and what to expect to be a DSP driver. I recently got interviewed but I’m still waiting for my background check result, it’s been past 14 days now. Is that normal for Amazon? Lol
Im reapplying for a different DSP as my last delivery was sometime in august last year. The background checks kinda depend on your area. My new dsp that I'm going to told me that my county does their background checks pretty fast. But another county is backed up like 2 months. So I guess its dependent on the area you live.
The streets of Newark...miss it lol
saw you on extra emilys stream
I’d want the air conditioned Rivian if it’s going to be really hot that day!
it does have very powerful ac in there
The Rivian also has an air conditioned seat, but the Ford Stepvans have air conditioning too and a roof roof mounted trucker fan!
@@LaosHouse The high voltage DC air conditioning compressors do a fantastic job without needing an engine driven belt robbing power. Every hybrid or electric Ford, Honda and Tesla that we’ve had or have an electric AC compressor.
@@mitchellbarnow1709 Can't get something for nothing. Either AC robs power from ICE vehicles, or it robs range from electric vehicles.
Chris, can you link your equipment used for filming like your camera and the tripod?
I enjoy driving stepvans at FedEx though my CSP has some pretty shitty trucks. A little annoying when you get assigned to the truck who's fans dont work when its 101 degrees out haha
fedex has been around for years so many of their trucks are old and dirty 😅
Steak Egg and Cheese bagel from McDonald's taste good too. You don't need to make delivery, just photoshop them and send them to my house.
I can’t stand that they changed the ability to mark mailroom deliveries at the same time. Taking all those photos is such a waste of time.
100%
Use newspaper with the Windex, streak free and usually those types of paper are usually free all around the city kiosks
Maybe it's because I've been playing too much project zomboid, but the opening felt like the intro to a zombie move. "Who woulda thought that cream cheese and salmon go really well together?" *Zombie smashes through car window, screaming, cut to black, movie title*
You out here comparing an SV to an S2K??? 😂😂😂 love it I get what you saying
Sick camera
Bro relocate to DYN5 West Caldwell, NJ most if the DSP’s there have the best routes no hoods lol
Going to be working for Amazon as a delivery driver soon I love your positive videos and all the tips you give used to work on a pipeline but it's just time for a change now too taxing on the body but keep staying positive I love your positive videos
This is not an easier job bud. You are going to be on a marathon mentally and physically everyday you work for amazon 🤣
@@whydontyouaskme compared to working on the pipeline I think this is an easy job
@@Trever78how are you liking it?
@@JMAC306 I quit the dspe that I was with was horrible my pay was too inconsistent all I have to say is there really needs to be a union at all Amazon facilities it started off great but over time I guess the reality of that job sunken. Other places may be different but I can only speak for my experience you just got to know your worth
what kind of camera you using ? thats 🔥 with the 360 pov look
Can i ask which part that carry your phone while you walking to delivery ?
I had 18 totes and 33 overflows, and 289 packages i had trouble at apartments. It took me 9 hours to finish. Im barely on my second week. I don't think i'll last as an amazon driver.
apartments can be tough. Give it another week and see how you feel
@jgl8552 I agree, but just wait until you get a residential area or somewhere different you like delivering to; then tell your dispatch if you favor one area over another. It sucks that you can't choose your route/where you'll be, but it might help. At our DSP if you tell them you like routes in certain areas they can somehow adjust the way the Flex app works, so it selects the areas you work better in.
@@LaosHouse Thank bro. I think you're superhuman with the packages. Probably the best on youtube.
@@tucker.84 Thanks bro I will try. I work fast normally it just gets overwhelming.
Hang in there... You can always ask to have your route adjusted to better suit your abilities. Everybody would say you need to give it time. I hung in past six months to get it all in.
Your chilling uo in there lol
We get a lot of Amazon Vans at our body shop.
Babeee come on laos house just uploadeeed
GET THE KIDSSSSS!!!
u got the blindspot mirrors like i do
You’re so good
What are you using to keep the camera at that distance?
What’s the name of the camera you’re using, I really like it
It’s more like driving a Model X to the beach or a 80s K5 Blazer with the back off. I’m riding in the K5 every time
Does the company allow employees to receive tips from customers?
Is the alignment off? Or just the steering wheel?
You in Jersey? What's the name of that bagel place?
I currently deliver for a dsp in Victoria bc Canada little different then your load out
as a customer who sees all 3 vans I like the step van, it says I am ready for duty and Rivian is new they haven't shown their vehicles are reliable yet, lets wait and see the total maintenance bill on them once they start hitting 100k to 200k miles
I'm concerned about the longevity of the sliding cargo doors on the rivians
They will replace them before they get that much mileage.
i proffer it with no 3 60 i miss the normal
you dont have to take pictures or signature from receipient?
Found ya from Emily's
What part of New Jersey you are from @LaosHouse
Funny thing about amazon is they have a very strict criteria for hiring drivers. Record must be spotless.. but for some reason they stoll end up hiring most of the worst drivers. Always fucking up the vans. I once saw someone drive all the way back to the warehouse with shredded front tires, riding on nothing but rim.
I can tell this a city in Essex county Nj from a mile away
Is this Plainfield or Paterson, NJ?
Are you using a drone?
I take that back, you did a great job.
13:08 you can only fit one friend in the S2000, not a couple. Unless a friend sits on another’s lap.
Good video
thanks dylan!
I worked for amazon DSP and i was extremely scared to do shit you were doing lol, how does the camera not set off an alert holding a stick out the door ? or are you just a very good employee at this point and explained to them what you do ?
our DSP made us feel like if we did ANYTHING or got any mark we would get either toasted in the meeting or fired cause you "mess with their money" and get fired maybe thats why though. - chicago
me:why is my delivery taking so long he 2 stops away... amazon drivers:
My Dsp dosent really have apartments if they do it’s only like 2 stops and it’s super easy I been on the same route for a long time and I barely get apartments but then again I don’t deliver in the metro area I’m in the country which I don’t prefer too much
country is not too bad. few groups stops and nice views
Watching this while delivering rn
that's why my videos are 15 minutes or less. perfect for your breaks haha
that first stop I woulda left right downstairs 😂 coming from a fed ex driver
when I did the dsp I was assigned to pedo vans and the prime vans some other drivers did the step van and prime van too it was all decided in the morning on the group chat
5:00 Do you have to shut all doors, windows, and turn on the car alarm when you're delivering in the hood? 😆 And take your Amazon approved bullet proof vest?
The S2K is a two seater. Friends becomes a friend.
yeah I realized that when I saw the photo 😅
Bagels and cream cheese: The breakfast of champions. Definitely helps getting you through those 10 hour work days. :)
I need those carbs
The one big thing for a 18 wheeler driver to step down into this job, we drive the biggest we can drive anything lol. I dont know what my soon to be dsp is going to pay the difference but I saw 21 dollars and didnt see a change for the diff vans? as a former truck driver, the companies I worked almost didnt care about new drivers getting 2023 brang new trucks vs older trucks compared to before when I started, its very baffling for what you said about new guys getting larger vehicles without some sort of size difference training of some sort
The Amazon guys here always leave those empty Amazon totes behind in my complex. It's super annoying.
