Everyone get your tea ready, we got a lot to talk about on Amazon
No bs I got killed last night and just now waking back up from the wind blowing my sprinter over the bridge🤦♂️
@@pedro97278 word. Probably the worst part of Amazon
Do you need a CDL to drive that truck
@@nephewoff368 no just a medical card which is a dot card really easy to get company pays for it they just check your hearing eye sight and which they just want to know if you healthy. Paulsboro nj I was making 22 a hour with guaranteed 9 hours so I used to bang out my rt in 6 hours did that for two years it takes a toll for sure but it’s worth it
How much they pay out there in north jersey?
I'm going in for an interview with a DSP company today and I wasn't really sure what the day to day would be like. This video definitely answered a lot of my questions and I enjoyed your enthusiasm throughout the whole thing. Thanks for making it!
How did the interview go and what were some things they ask? I’m going in for an interview tomorrow
RUN
@@dariushooperjr5265 They don’t really ask you any typical interview questions. They ask “Have you ever been convicted of a felony?” “Do you have any points on your license?” And “Do you have any experience delivering packages?” Luckily I had experience because I was a UPS driver helper for two peak seasons before I went to Amazon. They most likely want to hire you because the turnover rate is higher than at other companies like UPS and FedEx. I’m one of the best drivers on my team and I have no plans on leaving anytime soon. Especially after my previous job (Metro North Railroad) didn’t work out.
Run and dont look back lol 😅
My Amazon flex app says We'll email you within the next 10 days with next steps. It’s been pass 10days , and I’m coming threw a DSP company
Amazon is hiring I’m 25 and I’m a introvert this looks like a perfect job.
if you love working independently, this is a wonderful job!
Yup
Here's something people never think about. If you signed a contract with your employer and they promised you 10 hours. Save a copy of the contract, keep a daily log of hours worked and save all your pay stubs. When you do finally decide to leave the company, talk to the labor department and be prepared to show proof of hours less than 10. The company will cut you a check for all the hours they shorted you after the borough of labor has a talk with them for breech of contract. If you don't fight for your money, nobody else will do it for you. 😉 Oh yeah, I watched the video because I'm still waiting for a FedEx pkg. Came here from your FedEx video. ☺ Love your 🐕.
Amazon probably said up to 10 hours for this reason 🤣
You worked for a bad DSP. I normally only work 28-30 hours and get a check for 40. I run my routes and only maybe do a rescue once a week at most.
I have never worked a full 80 hours yet because my DSP keep taking one day a week from me. I will catch the bus or Uber to work early in the morning, get all the way there, they give out the vans and tell me theres no more routes left for the day and to just go home without pay. I don't know how they get away with this, it's terrible
@@jayonlineslotz Where are you located? I feel bad for you, because you make a lot of effort to get to work. Which a lot of new drivers are bad at. You should ask around your station. Remember they relay on good drivers who show up everyday. If you are showing up and they do not have work for you. I sure another DSP will want you. I worked for a really crappy DSP before I found the current one.
@@jayonlineslotz You have to get proof then talk to the Board of Labor and see what they say. Some places have to pay you for a couple hours if you went out of your way to show up to work, then just send you home. Get proof first or the Labor department won't even talk to you 😒. The laws are always changing, so it's best to Google how your state would handle such a situation.
This guy's vibe is immaculate. Keep up the good work.
Nah he’s annoying, all style no substance.
On god his vibe is good efff the haters
He’s cringe and fruity
@@KidRuben10 like the one above us 🙄😅😂
I must say this is a pretty solid description of what it is like to be an Amazon DSP driver. I would like to add a couple things. Generally the amount of stops that you are assigned varies on how fast you are. My DSP generally assigns me between 165 and 195 stops, this includes group stops as well as lockers. Unfortunately the part about the 15-minute breaks I would say I personally do not know what you're talkin about LOL. Most of the time drivers with a high amount of stops don't have time to utilize those at all. If for some reason you're behind the 30-minute lunch is merely just a dent in your paycheck and not something you often get to experience. From my experience pack a lunch because dsp's generally try to give you the largest routes possible so they can make the most money. Depending on how strict they are they might give you a hard time for something simple like stopping to use the bathroom or even just picking up a sandwich. If you don't meet the fast pace they will send rescues and if this happens more then a couple times when slow season happens and route crunch becomes a thing you won't have a route to run because they are assigning the larger routes to faster drivers. Overall though the job itself is not that bad in my opinion. Just keep in mind like any job it's not always going to be all sunshine and rainbows
Well gotta use the bathroom and have a quick 15 lunch break. We're not robots... If not they can suck it and by law. You have right to lunch.
That’s what happens when you are not union . Ups drivers make the most
When he said he takes his lunch at the end of the day I died my dispatcher would whoop my ass I’m one of those drivers you mentioned with heavy stop counts but I always get routes even during slow season, just eat in between stops and then you get to rescue the slow people that get standby all the time because they are always making extra stops or getting stuck or whatever
@@duhgreat8449 but good luck getting hired in as a driver there
I work as a driver and deliver for Amazon and where all self employed dont know how it works else where but on a normal day though the year (no prime day or Christmas) I get between 150 to 180 stops with about 30 group stop sometimes more
Stay safe out there bro, especially at night. Lots of delivery driver's have been in harm's way lately.
yeah my start time is so late 😭
I also have a very late start time. 10:40 AM to be exact. I usually don’t get to my route until noon. The late start time is annoying at times because if you have businesses on your route, sometimes the algorithm sends you to them way too late and they’ll be closed for the night. It’s always annoying when you have to bring packages back to the station.
One thing I've never understood about driver complaints is that most drivers will judge the beef of the route based on package count. I always base it on number of stops. You could have 300 packages, but if several homes have 7 envelopes, it's no more physical work than if a house had 2 envelopes. The number of stops dictates the physicality of the route if your walking back and forth that many more times. I'd rather have 110 stops with 300 packages than have 170 stops with 200 packages
agreed
My experience with Amazon where I’m at is those lower stop count and higher package count routes are usually in areas with super long driveways and areas where the Stephan’s can’t maneuver so it turns into sometimes 5-10min walks just for 1 stop
U dont make sense my guy
You're wrong my guy, amazon considers group stops as a single stop....meaning just because it says you have 170 stops, you might have 220 in reality...if you have 3 houses in the same area, its a group stop and they categorize that as 1 stop lmfao .
@@1PerfectAgony Yeah you're right. I'm aware of groups stops, so when I say 110 stops vs 170, I actually mean 110 stops plus the extra from groups vs 170 plus the groups. 110 stops could equal to 150 and 170 could mean 210. Either way, I'd rather have less stops than less packages.
Congrats on the new job! You do you, nothing else matters. I'm glad to see you're out working again and doing something you're very familiar with. Looking forward to more of your vids!
I loooove ur videos Bc u show EVERYTHING from the driving to the delivering I love it
Thank you for the video… after 18 years of OTR trucking and being gone months at a time…. I took a dps job and start this week coming up…. The videos have been helpful!
Glad your back! I always enjoyed the day in the life videos👍 I actually have an interview at a dsp tomorrow morning so watching this made me feel better about what to expect when I start
Update ?
I wish more drivers are like u. U seem like a cool dude. I got a package supposedly 2 days ago and found it in the neighbors yard in the snow. I'm getting ready to install cameras. I hope a get a better driver like u. Good luck on your job.
Dang man, glad your back on the grind. Lao the best delivery dude in the game.
Thats when the "giggalos" come out? Im sooooo glad you clarified with captions!!!!
Your vids are freaking awesome & they have helped me so much, def a win win. And who gives af what anyone thinks why you switched. Keep doing you, your content is amazing. Seriously
I start on the 26th next Monday needing the hours a d the pay is decent in my area but thanks to your video definitely looking more forward to starting with the dsp im with thanks man!!
The camera work is excellent by just a normal standard, but especially for someone who is super busy the whole day it's even more impressive. Intro for instance was flawless.
He got a job at Amazon for content 😂
genius if you ask me, pain
@@LaosHouse it’s genius if you use this content to fight for Amazon drivers maybe getting a union for drivers
@@LaosHouse you are gutless
He's a smart man
@@krisp35 Hey I've seen your content!
I'm happy to see that you are posting again!
I asked him for help and knowledge a while back about Amazon and Chris helped me thanks Chris! I’ve been working there for 5 months now I love it
ayyy I'm one of you guys now
7:00
At UPS “Overflow” means packages that did not fit in your Truck. Which we have a lot of Every Single Day.
It just gets Delivered to us throughout the day. Either that OR we have to go back and pick it up ourselves, but they usually don’t want us to waste any time doing that since We Make Over $40/Hr.
I hope this channle makes it big man. Love the style
this video is better than the actual training amazon gives us. dsp onboarding needs to be better as well. thanks for the video great content.
Thanks for filming this! The video just popped up on my algorithm. Much respect for all that you do.. I definitely wouldn't be able to hack it.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Yay! I’m so happy you’re working at Amazon now. Looking forward to your upcoming content. I work as a ups driver and always wanted to see how the two companies differ. Loved all your fedex videos 🥰
Worked at both, it’s pretty much a night and day difference, at least per my experience
Amazon is new to the logistics game so it's very different. a lot to talk about
@@nick_osas I drive for FedEx and used to for Amazon, I will say I miss Amazon's navigation/delivery app. I have to click through like 3 pages of stuff with FedEx before I can finally take a picture of the package and swipe to complete the delivery.

love how detailed you are dude
Thanks for sharing your experience. Wish you all the best for this peak and beyond
Yooo ur back lol
I'm an SV driver at DDT6 in Pontiac MI and i love my job! I know you will too. Stay save Brotha
Man I love your videos! I’ve been watching for a while and I was thinking about working for Amazon or FedEx but then I got my CDL license and am now a truck driver. Glad I pursued that career path but I still love your content. :)
You definitely made the right choice. glad you enjoy!
your cdl isn’t worth much your 1st couple of years cus you have no experience so pay is shitty. Once your cdl has 2-3 years of work experience than you starting seeing the real money. I have had my cdl for 7 years now
Chris you have a great personality. I'm a Senior Citizen who gets Amazon packages a couple times a week and I was suddenly curious about what the job is like for you drivers. Thanks for enlightening, and entertaining, me. Best of luck.
good job! wow I never realized how much work it is!
Hello, so because of your videos, I applied for the DSP driver position and I am so amped. Your videos give me the real real about being a driver. You are a true inspiration. Thank you for all of your Amazon content.
Did you get the job?
I've been watching your videos for a few days! I'm about to start my training and orientation as an Amazon DSP in the next few days so these have been extremely helpful!!! Thank you so muchh!
How’d it go?
@@marcrivera2195 it was fun, I went in knowing what to expect
@@GrlsGme2oohow has the job been so far? I got an interview in two days 😅
Awesome vid man, thnx for sharing!
yo bro today was my second day a nd went way smoother then my first day yesterday in the pooring rain.. but i watched you videos alot before i started so thanks alot be def applying that ive watched
Thank you
I probably will be working for Amazon this helps a lot
8:52 so weird. I use to work for Poland Spring. When you made this delivery, I thought, "wow, thats gotta be the best type of delivery, a small box, and nobody is going to give you anything in return"....then I saw the Poland Spring Bottles outside. Every delivery, you picked up empty bottles, it was never a quick drop and go. I don't miss that job at all lol.
Great video 🎉. Thank you 🙏
Thinking about going to be a driver for Amazon. This video was a huge help so thank you
As a fellow NJ native I really enjoy your content. Great video!
Thanks. More to come!
Looking to change careers as a design engineer. Amazon DSP will be a big part of that at least at first. Thanks for the video
Hahaha bro. I love people like you, keeping life a fun journey😁😊😘 great video btw, trying to see if i do Amazon delivery, thanks man !
Was bored and it just popped up, great vibes dude
Tommorow is my first day Man! Nursery route , stoked about it . This video is dope my guy ! 🤙
I got it right. I’m exited for new content!
First day of training thanks for the vid✌🏻
Hey man just a little tip that can help if you empty out the whole tote and put the bags In numerical order and have the boxes outside the bag it would save so much time in between stops!!
This was a damn good video. Great job!
Just bored on youtube and found this video lol. I currently work for Amazon & planning to transfer soon from sort centers to TOM team (driving big trucks). But great content! I hate driving/working at night too lol.
Hi my husband I’m just applied to work as an Amazon driver thanks for the video!😊
I appreciate the video. I’m thinking about becoming a driver. I’ve been doing flex for a while now and looking for a bigger workload or to team up with a DSP driver in my area.
I’ve been driving the Amazing step-van for 3 weeks so far and now I see that your doing the same thing, plus we are named Chris😳.
i been an Amazon driver for 5 years now, did 4 years at regular AMZL and im currently in AMXL and i highly recommend it. we only do big items, 2 man teams in a box truck and best of all, 30-60 stops a day. we also start at 5am so you will never deliver in the dark.
yeah my big ick with Amazon is that there are teams that are starting at 11-12pm. Delivering in the darks sucks
How do you get a job with amxl?
@@valent304 I believe there are certain delivery stations that are xl. I see postings for them sometimes
Do y’all get paid more ? I’m thinking of switching n is it also dsp or Amazon Amazon ? Where do I apply? Who I talk to if I want to make that transfer
How many packages tho? And what time do you finish? Cause on the applications it says 10 hour shifts so that’s 5am thru 3pm lol that’s a lot dude
This was very helpful I have an interview with them tomorrow ❤
Aww your dog has a sweater so cute
Chris congrats your new job and good luck and my friend she work for as an amazon DSP driver and she loves it
Thanks Dylan. Tell your friend to tune in lol. I see your a Ronaldo fan too
I can't stand youtubers but you actually are funny, man. Keep it up, you could be one of those popular channels
Thank you for the video! I have a regular 9 to 5 by want to do a side gig just to save money towards moving out. Are used to do Uber eats food delivery services but ultimately it’s not worth it because of nowhere in terms that you put on your own vehicle. I’m interested in DSP Amazon, because they provide you with a vehicle. This video was very informative
Thank you for the video ! I start nursery Monday and I'm kinda nervous 😅 hoping I do well. I never delivered before. I recently picked up some pounds lol from treatment I was on those medications blew a sista up ! Lbvs I'm not too big but you know too big for my own personal liking so I wanted to try working and getting a work out too lol. Thanks again ! ❤
I can’t with the Eslabón Armado song😂 your a vibe bro hope you blow up soon🔥
I start working tomorrow lol this was a good video to give me an idea what my day will look like. Much appreciated 💯
How is it so far ?
Wish me luck on my second interview tomorrow and good looking on that breach contract 10 hours extra paycheck stuff💯
I applied to be a driver, this video helped thank you.
There are probably videos out there that are more thorough regarding what to expect as a dps driver, but this is a great video recapping a day in life with Amazon as a delivery driver (simple and fun to watch). I like your creativity and enthusiasm. To answer how I got here and commenting on your video? RUclips is a great lurker somehow posted your video on my feed so I watched it and it was fun. Am I ever going to become a dps driver? Maybe for just the experience as a part-timer one day. Your enthusiasm and creativity do help others make videos too. 😄
Just want to show people what life is like
Your puppy is so cute 😊
Thank you for this great video
Awesome video buddy 📦📦🔥🔥🔥👍
The only DOT vehicle I've driven is the Isuzu Reach. I love the turning radius on it.
I just find it hard to believe that you can finish your route on time or sooner by how slow you move. I get about the same amount of stops and packages as you do and I have to run at each stop and if I’m lucky, I can take my 30 min. Forget about 2 15 min breaks i’ll never get done on time.
I love your videos man. I watched like all of your FedEx videos when I first started a few months ago. I am still loving the purple, even through a couple weeks of peak. Keep up the great content my friend.
I'll always be purple on the inside 💯
Welcome to the family!!
10:20 jugaste y sufri lol
nice video man thanks!

haha im switching to amazon from fedex too!
@@xkisari472 that's awesome!! Best of luck to you too !! 😁💯
@@xkisari472 this is the correct switch lol
I work both FedEx and Amazon. Ground full time and Amazon 2 days. Fedex is whole lot better due to the hours (no rescues), no group stops, and you have your own route/truck. Yes, you lift heavy shit but it’s easy. Idk about your dsp, at my dsp - were not allowed to rts until dispatch says we can (til everyone is done) so we start at 10 and finish anywhere from 7:30-8:30 at night. At FedEx, im home by 4-4:30.
@@Damsmh yep. finishing earlier is better so you're not in the dark
Yooo i left Amazon on October 30th, after being with the company for 2 years & 2 months decided to call it quits lol but congratsss man, it isn’t bad like you see/hear most ppl talk bout it. Especially if you got a good DSP & manager then you’re good man. Can’t wait to see the Amazon content & stay safe out there🙏🏼
you can relive your glory days through my videos lol
@@LaosHouse forsure😂
Do not rely on the bag description.. the heavier the packages the sloppier they get in the warehouse.. if you can go by the number on the bag and put them in order.
Was at amazon for 2 years and went to fedex I was also double dipping for a little bit. I do miss it at times. Hope you enjoy it. PS those 4 day work will make you love it. I miss them so much
Every company should adopt the 4 day work week
@@LaosHouse I’ve been considering going back for a long time. I made way more money at peak last year there. The overtime and the extra bonuses did it for me
Being a DSP Amazon Driver ain't that bad, this year I made a little over $60K and that's not even being a Step Van driver, plus for this Peak season I won Front Runner Top Driver! Greetings from Santa Ana California!
How many stop do you get done an hour?
Grats! All the guys in my dsp are crazy fast 30 plus stops an hour
Great to see you back... keep it up
good to be back
I was bored on YT and it popped up 😅 first time viewer but I enjoyed
A questions I've always had is, do you get to choose what you're comfortable driving vehicle wise. The one you're driving in this video would give me SO much anxiety, I'd definitely handle the smaller van better.
You have to qualify for those step vans some dsp will give you up to 5$ more but more than likely you will get 1-3$ more
They look safer to drive than most pickups so you shouldn’t worry
I will have an interview tomorrow with amazon 🙌 this video make me feel like I can't wait to get hire 😀 thanks for the video
Nice!this did actually help
no prob. Are you going to be a driver?
Congratulations 🎊🍾 on the new job bro, I recently got hired by Lynx Logistics LLC (Amazon) so I will be base out of The Bronx area and in a few days I will be doing my 3-day training with them and wish me luck on becoming a delivery driver. Real Talk 123.

Welcome back! And glad to see your new beginning. Quick question: is there any packafe require signature for Amazon?
If the customer requests it, yes.
This was very helpful. I have an interview scheduled tomorrow morning and I'm nervous as hell. I don't have any experience in this line of work. However I have 20 years experience working warehousing. But I want to try something different. I have a feeling I may like this kind of work
I've have experience in both and I think you'll enjoy driving a lot more
How did it go
