Thank you for all the amazing comments. After this video, the most stops I’ve ever had got up to 172 with over 325 packages and I wasn’t getting home till about 9pm.
That's the average. ...and that's pretty good. Delivering in the rural areas I wouldn't get back to the station until around 10PM. When it got dark things got real interesting.
Same here. I think the most that I’ve had was 389 packages or 408. Can’t quite remember the exact, but I do recall it being immense. I’m pretty good and pretty fast so I see that they were taking great advantage of that. Whether I’m good or not though, to me that’s an excessive amount. I was getting back very close to 9 and 9:30 PM almost every day. Our fleet leaves the distribution center pretty late though. We were the last DSP to leave. We left around 11:45 AM / noon.
That job is brutal, i did it for around 3 months and left immediately, it suckkkss , its underpaid, is bad, specially in summer, did it in Miami, and let me tell u, dont work with these contractors, is badddd stay away
It starts to suck when you have to make above 160 stops. Keep in mind of the weather, most Drivers don’t even take their breaks. Organizing your packages greatly helps you. Business stops and apartment stops slow you down drastically.
My son is an Amazon driver so I have tremendous amount of respect for them. One thing he left out in the video is my son has had people be so mean to him yelling even saying racial remarks just because they are stuck behind his van on a narrow road and he has no.place to go but forward. He has told me about the nice people that have feasts waiting for them because they understand so now I have cold water bottles waiting as well in this heat. Please be nice to the delivery drivers they mean something to someone out there. ❤
that is a great idea to have chilled water bottle waiting for the driver. I think Amazon is working to make things easier for delivery persons and faster and more accurate for the customers.. I think one of thier innovations of taking a picture of the package in front of the door is one of them. And i believe Fedex has not adopted this with their deliveries.. it is quite helpful.. I am interested in knowing more about the difficulties of deliering to apartments.. perhaps there are ways to make it easier.. maybe using augmented reality to help the driver plot out the way to get tothe apartment most efficiently?
U know why nobody likes Amazon drivers cuz they break all the laws do stupid shit on road. They block everyone’s driveways and they park on the wrong side of road. I know cuz I’m a UPS driver and Amazon and fedex are the worst drivers they are all private contractors nobody watches them.
I love that you mentioned that some customers leave water and wonderful things out for drivers. Some customers are really awesome. When I delivered, there are a lot of customers who leave bowls of snacks, treats, etc. One winter when it was close to Christmas, one customer welcomed me into their house to have some of their homemade cookies. 😃 Was so sweet.
the most frustrating thing is people who don't even know their address, or give no instructions on how to enter a locked apartment complex gate. Some of those can't be unlocked with the Amazon "key".
I buy a lot through amazon. We appreciate your hard work and professionalism. You guys always drop off my packages at my door, unlike fedex throwing packages out on street and walking away. You are appreciated
what worries me as a usps guy is that one day Amazon will run out of delivery drivers. Then they'll resort to dropping all of their stuff off at the Post Office for us to deliver again. We still get a fair deal of it but we also get a ton in the way of walmart, target, perscriptions and everything else under the sun. UPS swings by and unloads on us. DHL comes around and unloads stuff on us. Drop Shippers etc... If amazon thinks they can keep prime members with 2 day shipping thru the po... they got another thing coming lmao.
That will only work temporary. This is why unions are so vital for all workers. It forces the capitalist to treat you like a human instead of a number.
AMAZON is a slave driving plantation that hires slaves directly and thru third party delivery services. Amazon doesn't give a damn about you or providing decent, nonhazardous working conditions for their slave employees. The ONLY thing that matters to the slave driver is REVENUE and KEEPING LABOR COSTS AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE TO ZEROOOOO !!! Paying you a fair wage for a fair amount of working hours is not of any concern to anyone in management at AMAZON PLANTATION !!
Appreciate this video. I wouldn’t recommend this job to anyone. 190 stops a day is brutal. Mad respect to the people that can do this on a daily basis. It’s just not for me.
@Txguy998 it’s something else. They’ll come rescue you if you fall behind, but they might reduce your routes if you’re not performing up to their standards
I've never had a bad experience getting my packages delivered from Amazon. You guys (and ladies) are great. Because of this video I have a new appreciation for the job you do. Thanks for the good work.
I ordered an electric bike which was close to 150 pounds and i waited outside my house to help the Amazon driver. I thanked him and gave him water because it was over 100 degrees. I couldn't believe he told me that he had to deliver more of these e bikes to people's apartments upstairs that same day
@@cashlindontv7293I did this job for a year. Package weight limit was 50 lbs. So how could he have been delivering 150 pound packages alone? How many people can lift a big 150 lbs package by themselves.
Used to be a janitor at amazon warehouse and about 70% of the drivers piss in bottles! We just started double bagging driver trash cans to avoid any spills!
Just hired in. The two day teaining was done with an actual trainer going thru the vids. Two weeks in and im still on nursery routes but im handling 130 stops a day. I figured out amazon will pay your full tuition for a CDL class, so 90 days in and im immediately going to apply for that.
How long did it take for your background check to come in?I had my interview already,and now all I’m waiting for is the background check the app says pending and wait up to 10 days but it’s been 11 days already
Piss bottle is actually great (not so great when it spills) or heats up in the vehicle lol. Lots of jobs where you don’t get a break (but still get it taken out of your pay check). Probably worst thing is eating out and the poor food quality.
That's why I always leave an "Above and beyond" thank you for all my Amazon delivery drivers. Even when I have to take the elevator to the lobby to retrieve my package/s. Even when delivery is late. It's hard work and I appreciate ordering something while laying in bed and have it delivered to me, especially when you are elderly. Thank you all very, very much. And may God guide you and protect you always especially while delivering your packages.
This is just as good as leaving snacks or drinks for the driver 🙏 This comment should be pinned. After covid, this service is taken for granted nowadays
I get it but people like you make this very hard and time consuming delivering like a regular mail that leaves the mail in the lobby do you have any idea how much better that will be for us drivers your already a hour away and I have 300 more packages no matter the size but have a nice day
@Txguy998 well not everywhere but most places yes, Home Depot starts you off pretty well and they are a great company to work for, I worked there, and it was great, but ya know you always want to move up in the world and move on to bigger and better things
Aye i worked at the USPS as a city carrier and you will 400 to 600 stops going practically house to house, plus packages!!! A customer will come out and say “is it hot enough for ya” and I have be respectful and say “it sure is”. Freakin idiot 😂😂😂 I’m practically drenched in sweat and they say that. However, we do have customers that will offer you a bottle of water.
'Prestin' you Sir are the heartbeat of America, and even though you'll be moving on to other opportunities, you did your job and toughed it out! Respect. AND informative video!
Hey man old delivery driver here I would recommend putting a folded tote in the passenger seat to put the envelopes and smaller packages on top. just makes it a little faster
Finish early bc you are efficient then get called for mandatory rescue of the girl who has 130 stops all residential. One of the only jobs that penalizes you for being good at the job.
I admire you and your work ethic, my friend. I couldn't do your job. Please don't stay too long. You're still young, but you don't want to look back and regret staying at this or any other job that you don't like. You're a much more valuable young man. I'm 70yrs old and I wish I had moved on sooner from jobs I hated. Treat yourself and your time as the most precious things in the world. Trust me, you will never regret following that advice. Excellent video. Good luck to you!
You may be correct, John. I don't know the young man personally, perhaps you do. I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt and hopefully he is not heading home now to live in his parents beautiful basement.
It sounds like a long day. I have respect for all of my delivery men. I don't keep a refrigerator but I do tip. Our Amazon driver is almost always a different person. Everyone is always nice. Thanks for the video. Good luck on your next adventure!
This gave me flashbacks. I used to do this. I don't plan on going back unless I'm desperate. It was summer, and a lot of the vans didn’t have working AC. I lost 10 lbs I couldn't afford to lose. I don't think anyone ever took the 15 min breaks. And in my personal life I have vowed to never order cases of drinks or cat litter online 'cause that just feels like abuse. Recently came across 2 Amazon trucks in a parking lot and I knew what was up. One driver was taking some of the other driver's packages. My co worker said that the delivery girl looked like she was about to have a mental breakdown. I said, "yeah, that's just what your average Amazon driver looks like"
@@GodSonBlessedalmost everyday. They weigh like 45 pounds. And sometimes people order 2-3 of them. And it’s often people who have multiple suv in the driveway. We are becoming so disconnected from reality with everything just clickable on a screen.

Current Amazon driver here. I completely felt everything said above this^. On a side note I just wanna add one thing. today I just got a violation for running a yellow light. The AI dash cameras inside the vehicle can detect everything going on in the van and outside. If you get serious violations like this one, you can get suspended for one or more days, depending on how many other violations you got or the whole fleet in general got. These cameras can detect speed, distracted driving (could just be from taking a sip of water), trailing too close to a car, running a red/ yellow light, seatbelt usage, and a bunch of other things. I can’t believe that I’m being punished for not even wrong in the eyes of police officers.
I worked as a driver and I finished my route with 2 hours to spare. My last stop was in the middle of nowhere and the nearest place for me to grab food was like 20 minutes away. I called and reported I completed my route and the shift manager said okay, need you to do a rescue. I said okay after I take my 30 minute break I’ll call back and you can send me there location and I’ll do the pickup. I drove 20 minutes to get to the closest civilization, took a piss, grabbed food. Sat back down in the van and he called and was like “dude you done yet?” I said I just grabbed food…I haven’t even ate yet. He said “well idk what to tell you, 30 minutes is 30 minutes regardless of how far you have to drive to get food, go do the pickup” and I was baffled because my entire route was finished, I didn’t take my break because it was a new route and I wanted to be sure I’d finish it and now I don’t even get to eat despite MY work being done because someone else is slacking and needs to be rescued. That did it for me and I politely bowed out and chucked up the deuces.
That's a real thing I've dealt with personally in most of the jobs I've worked. It's called performance punishment. You did good so now you get to do more good. 🤣
Yeah it’s like this with most field service jobs. Good job. Here’s some more work. Worst part is these types of jobs never provide performance based wage increases.
I worked for US Postal Service as a seasonal employee for almost 90 days around 2005. Treatment of employees and morale was so bad, I truly learned why and how the term "going postal" came about. All my life I have done blue collar hard labor by choice. Ditch digging, hauling bricks, tower climbing, military on and on. Even now pushing 70, I love being on the end of a shovel. Amazon delivery driver sounds like heaven compared to my experience with postal service. Name of the game is getting from A to B. Whatever it takes. Quitters never win, winners never quit.
I have a whole new respect for you guys and gals now. I'm glad you got to experience some nice/good customers. I worked in retail years ago so unfortunately the bad customers ruined it for the few great customers! Good luck on your future job hunt
I live in NYC and I feel bad for all delivery people, from all companies... It's rough out here. The traffic, there's no parking and getting into buildings is nearly impossible.. rude customers ... so I know how hard y'all work.
Ups is at least getting paid because they’re union. Everybody else has it rough. Don’t know how they do parking. I live on LI. At least Amazon does box trucks and drives mostly avenues in manhattan. We are getting taken to the cleaners by these corporations.

I was shocked when I visited NYC last year and saw Amazon delivery workers pushing huge carts of packages around the streets of Manhattan. Brutal. Better to be the suburbs delivering packages by van
@@robd7934 their pay in the city is too low. Higher cost of living and they should in theory be getting some of the cost savings from probably much less gas costs. An example of how trickle down is a lie. Amazon wins again, and the people lose. They make like $17. In the suburbs here it’s $19
I always knew it was a super rough job but it gives employment to folks who otherwise have a difficult time finding employment. Great video!...you should get lot of views!
Former Road Warrior is here and this was I have been going through on each day . With your honesty and hard work you have earned my trust and respect. The job itself may not be right for everyone but in the process you have gained real experience. Good luck be Safe.
I use to do 210 stops here in Massachusetts,I wouldn’t turn off my van I wouldn’t use seatbelt just to see if I could finish faster,but I’d always finish by 8 or 9 pm Some people wouldn’t even take breaks just to try to finish faster
I don’t get the not taking breaks. I delivered in Long Island ny, like don’t people need to eat? Unless someone’s goal is to lose weight being a da. Yeah I think once you’re in the habit it barely takes 10 seconds more each stop, engine and seatbelt.
Is that 210 stops flat not without groupstops? Or your counting by how many locations? Last 2week i did the most stops ive ever had including the rescue and it was 224, multi locations not included.
occasionally i get a delivery service survey with my iphone delivery notification message. i always take that opportunity to give amazon maximum positive feedback, because the service is always great, especially compared to my experiences with UNIONIZED delivery services from UPS FEDEX ETC.
i use to work for kroger and we would have about 12-18 stops very spread out and driving for 8-10 hours plus was so mentally exhausting when i got home. And the repetitve daily part of the job drove me crazy
i work as a detailer for sold cars and the shop is like a oven, constantly sweating but the best thing about it is that i can drive the cars and use the ac as an advantage when delievering them.
I’m a broke 21 year old college student. I got offered an interview for this job and I’m kinda desperate for a job. It’s $21 an hour. My family is buying a new house and when we move there, I have to help out with bills which I don’t mind. I also have to get my dad’s minivan fixed up after getting it dented and scratched. I also need money for whenever I’m at my college campus. I live in nyc and right now the weather is humid since it’s summer. But I’m really desperate and barely have any options so I guess I’ll give this a shot until I figure something out.
It isn't that bad. This dude was complaining about how "bad" training is and how much it sucks to get paid to sit there watch videos. So take his opinion with a grain of salt.
i said the same thing . i like to work alone and driving 8 hrs a day isnt that bad , it may be a tad bit physical but it will definitely be less sressful than working at publix
Def more like 6 hrs on your feet the rest is actual driving. However, this is a great job if you like working alone. Keep in mind tho, if you finish your route early you may be required to do mandatory rescues. Of course this all depends on the dsp.
This was a very informative video. Your approach is great to your work. I already appreciate greatly my Amazon and UPS drivers. Not so much the post office though. Thank you.
I really appreciate you sharing your experience in a day of the life of an Amazon Delivery Driver. It really set's the expectations for us here. More power to your channel! Wish me luck on day 1 moving forward.
Thanks Prestin! First interview is tomorrow. Currently I’m working 12 hour days outside in Texas, with an hour commute one way. Dsp is 5 minutes from the house. I’m excited, ain’t scared to work. Hoping for overtime, as I don’t get paid it now. Whatever it takes baby! Keep grinding
I drove for amazon about 2017-18 and i loved it. its a bag. from what i can see now a lot of comments ppl dont really want the money. 20+ a hour, weekly pay and the hours there... if you managing your money correctly you will legit make a bag. and you work alone. i understand the repititive part andthe rescuing part but if you have goals outside of work it makes the job easy..

It’s not as bad as these ppl on RUclips make it out to be. Fold up a bag n put it on your passenger seat, organize your packages by number, get a sharpie n write the driver assist number on your overflow. Makes it easy to find later. Takes a lil time when loading but it’s worth it. It’s demanding, but the money isn’t bad. Very repetitive. Bring a cooler with water n ice. It’s really easy. Just have to be a self motivating worker. Just drive good, pay attention to stop signs. Just be alert. You’ll do fine. Don’t let the bad parts ruin it for you. If you need a job this is a decent paying entry level job.
The wear and tear it does to your body is NOT worth the pay trust me you will find out AFTER your first month once you are done with your nurser routes. You will CONSTANTLY see new drivers being hired every single day cause people are quitting all the time. You will see for yourself. This is why they hire ANYBODY and EVERYBODY.
Well if it's like it was for me a few years ago then if you actually come in and do a decent job you will become a workhorse and expected to bail out lazy drivers on the daily by picking up a portion of their route after you are done with yours with no incentive. That gets old REAL quick.
It is the hardest job in America, the stops and packages they give one person, should be given to 2 or 3 people, it is not a job for one person. They are just maximizing profit off people, and enslaving people.
Prestin. Thank you for telling us what the job is like. My brother works for Amazon in Virginia. I never get to speak to him but I have no doubt that he is kept very busy. Keep working hard until you get into something that pays better and is more interesting and fulfilling to you. See you in the next video. George/NY.
Was an Amazon delivery driver for a year in AZ. Honestly I liked the job. But all the rescues I had to do from my incompetent fellow employees burnt me out fast. Did that on top of 190 stops which are more because lots of them are grouped. Should be 150 stops maximum per day. Good luck brotha
Basically it’s when you’re finished with the route that’s assigned to you. Then you call dispatch and they usually always give you the bad new that you have to rescue a fellow co worker that’s behind. Taking some of their stops and adding it onto yours.
Thank you for sharing this. It has opened a lot on my mind. I was going to work there and get my training but i had a gut feeling something was off. I wish you well in your journey.
I'm in Arizona, so inside the van can be 115 to 120. Sometimes, days can feel frustrating. I got in trouble because I went to the restroom, they told me you could've that time to deliver. I'm not pissing in a bottle lmao
I did this job during the peak of Covid all the way until the beginning of that Autumn. If you take this job, get ready to be busy all day. Also, if another driver is about to finish their shift, the company will ask you to "rescue" them. This means you and that driver will meet somewhere and they will unload some/most of their packages onto yours. It's not really optional either. Taking a break is NOT recommended if you're trying to deliver everything. If you return to the base with undelivered packages, they will bother you give you shit about it and ask you all types of questions about it. You also get rated on your delivery abilites. It's all very stupid. If you're doing it, make sure it's temporary. I left before the winter. Imagine walking through driveways and uphill residences during snow, with packages... hell no. There are mostly cons. Also, while true that no one micromanages you, there are staff members that are a level above drivers, but they usually have horrible attitudes and they will snitch on you and provoke you.

I did delivery for Amazon too for less than 6 months, in the van side door i open it just a little bit cracked open enough just to take a piss. No cap. There is so many DSP (delivery service partners) anyone can sign-up and start their own DSP with Amazon. I always delivered all my packages around 180-240 packages each day. I don't give a f, i put my next tote packages in the front seat and leave my belt buckle plugged in and just wrapped the strap over me. I was one of the best drivers. I would get gifts, amazon swag, and gift cards. Not to brag but. It is frowned upon on if you don't deliver all your packages. If you don't, they send a rescue. Someone who will meet up with you and take some packages from you and deliver them. DSP Amazon delivery isn't a real long-term career imo. I learned that quickly that we were just 3rd party contractors. Amazon did this on purpose so that no one can blame them if any drivers get into any trouble. Amazon; They will just respond and say "the driver is a 3rd party contractor and isn't a Amazon employee" DSP's sucks. Benefits from the DSP isn't great either. 👎
I've always wondered this, when I get a package delivered it always asks "how did it go". There is a little thumbs up or thumbs down. I know 99% of the time. I always do thumbs up, then I will select things like on time, friendly, followed directions stuff like that. Does that help the driver get bonuses or do they not care?
I’m a delivery driver myself but for a beer distributor in Arizona. We have an Amazon facility near our warehouse and I have always wondered why all the Amazon trucks start rolling out to begin their deliveries around 11:00. Why not start early in the morning? Especially here in AZ.
Its tough for sure, it is also easy at same time. The app does make everything harder than it should in my opinion but it is what it is very straightforward and challenging all at once lol.
I don’t miss it at all. It def put money in my pocket when I needed it but man it sucks. Not worse than FedEx delivering tho! Been w usps for almost two years I love it 🇺🇸
I drive for FedEx in Northern Michigan. So I feel your pain lol. We don’t have quite as many stops or packages as you. But we get all the big heavy shit. It also takes 1 hour and 30 minutes to get to my first delivery everyday. We also get paid by the day, not the hour.
I quit FedEx due to not being transparent and I didn’t want to deal with big stuff due to my herniated disc. About to start my day driving alone tomorrow
@nalsra0 I'm on day 2 solo, day 5 overall. Not bad. It's physical as hell, and the absurd level of detail in driving is tricky at first but overall I love it. I'm outta toledo and they have my route up in Grosse Isle, Gibraltar and whatever that little Island is called
Thats crazy! I remember everything over 100 stops for fed ex home delivery was insane 22 years ago, I can't imagine doing 315. Only difference is I got 5 zip codes back then and now with everyone ordering online you get a small area to deliver.
Nice video bro, I’m a Amazon driver as well. There are a few misconceptions about the job. The higher the stop count doesn’t really mean you will be there all day. Amazon is a very work at your pace to get the job done type of gig. I was on nursery routes for about two days until I started getting 180+ stops. Highest I’ve had is 200 stops but that happened in peak season. Other than that it doesn’t matter if I have 170 or 190 stops. I get done at the same time everyday and I’ve been employed with my team for about 7 months now. It is a tough gig but worth it considering the benefits they provide in different Dispatxh groups. It’s more a mental than anything else, I hear people complain on the job everyday. But to me, it’s barely hard work, overall it’s just tedious which would make sense why people find it difficult cause nobody likes to feel like a robot. But as a job, I think it’s the best one I’ve had and I’ve worked some hard jobs.
I had no idea that Amazon delivery drivers made hundreds of stops and delivered hundreds of packages a day. I live in an apartment and get a lot of packages delivered by Amazon. Thank You Amazon delivery drivers for your service. I try to get packages delivered on Saturdays and Sundays so I can be home to receive them. When I am home, I always buzz the drivers into the building or come outside right away to get my packages.
@@chillmfwill19 You do not know anything about my situation or about what items I have delivered by Amazon. Therefore, you should not judge me and tell me to "Stop being lazy and go to the store." If I choose to use the Amazon delivery service that is my business and my right.

Hey Prestin! I work on the other spectrum. I'm in the warehouse as the diverter when I take a shift. I am fortunate to work in a smaller warehouse in a smaller county but we are still pushing out between 15k - 22k packages into the totes from our fullfillment center for the drivers.

wow, man, that's a lot of work. I order a lot from Amazon so I want to say thank you for doing this job and getting our packages to us on time. a big thank you.,
For comparison, I'm a home health nurse (visiting RN at home) and our productivity is visiting 5 patients a day in their home including driving and charting. I make about base 130000 to 140000K a year. My son had to see his pediatrician at Kaiser clinic for emergency (last call appointment). When I saw the MD computer screen, my son was the 18th patient seen by MD (at 4:45 PM and they close at 5 PM). The Kaiser pediatrician resigned in 1.5 to 2 years but when I looked up their base salary it was about 225000 to 250000 which is double to triple RN income. But they have to see 15 to 20 patients. And amazon drivers need to drop 210 to 230 packages at >200 houses for minimum wage. Go to school and learn some trade.
Well it must be pointed out that until america gets back to the gold standard, the System we are currently under does NOT have our best interests at heart, and so round, and round we go!! America must abolish the FEDERAL RESERVE, the I.R.S, and the CENTRAL BANK.
Thanks. I live in a huge apartment complex so we see your drivers often. I always feel for them as i know how hard they work and how fast they race around delivering things. We see them dragging those huge totes around and wonder why in the world they dont put wheels on them! Ridiculous. And insane that they have no AC. And you are right... we have easr and west sides of building (183 apartments) and you cannot get to oppose sides without going to first floor. Very difficult to find your way around. We do have elevators but 4 floors. I am on 4th and get several deliveries a week. Amazed at how they do it.
You should work for Pizza Hut or dominos as a delivery driver. You get to keep tips and the work is heck of a lot easier than Amazon plus you make around 20 an hour plus tips . Thanks for sharing!

@@the-space-wizI've done pizza for a long time. Just set aside a little bit of tips everyday for wear and tear and do regular maintenance. I'd rather use my car and do Pizza than the nonsense amazon drivers deal with. Did you know I can pee almost anytime I want?
This job definitely isn't for everyone. I used to work for them and I would get anywhere from 165- 200 stops but if you know what you're doing you learn little tricks that make the job easier after a while. The biggest key for me is when I deliver in residentitial areas at the beginning of the day I try to at least average 28-30 stops an hour before it gets too hot and the rest of the day I am basically on cruise control. 70% of the packages you deliver are not very heavy when compared to companies to like FedEx and UPS. A big bulk of your packages are small that are literally like the size of a piece of paper. The turnover rate is pretty high though and I fully understand why. You definitely have to be mentally tough also to stay at a job like this. But when you need to keep your bills paid it is better than not working at all...
In my mid 20's back in 1980's I trained to go to Hawaii for the Ironman Competition.🚴🏻🏊🏻🏋🏻 Your an Ironman working for Amazon as a Delivery Driver. 100 degree heat in that extremely hot delivery van in extreme hot temps 200 stops till sundown Your amazing !!
This is why I can't with any delivery job. I wanted to work for USPS back in the day, but I already sweat like a faucet just moving around in 80F weather. Then there's the stories about drivers passing out from heat exhaustion and dog attacks.
I have a friend whose son is working at Amazon while going to college part time. He is working like 55-60 hours a week since they are short staffed in the Orlando area, and he told me that his son said that 90% of the workforce there refuse to work past 40 hours. Once they hit that, they stop and leave, ditching routes and all, leaving his son and a few others to finish them. But they won’t terminate the other drivers because they’re tenured, and they are already short staffed…..
Much respect to you. Peak for us was 200+ stops and 300+ packages. Started during Christmas. Yes, apartments sucked. I always changed my route and did those first and neighborhoods with schools 2nd so I didn’t hit that school traffic when it let out. Agree with you about the dogs. Good luck to you!
Thank you so much for sharing! This was more helpful than the actual Amazon “what to expect” video Amazon sends you. lol We starting in Hawaii soon and I’m excited. I hope I maintain that same Energy a month in😂
I tried working as an Amazon warehouse associate. I quit after the second day. It's a lot more physically demanding than being a driver. Perhaps a decent job for young people but not for older people. Definitely a job that should be done by robots.
I've been with Amazon for 3 years at a Delivery Station and I've outlasted over 1k people at this point, and they always quit for the exhaustion, Pick 2 Buffer wears you out insanely.
At my station the older workers work the hardest. All the younger kids just talk and flirt with each other all day, I swear we have had at least 7-8 relationships start between associates in the 3yrs I've been there. And that's just the ones showing it.
Have you been a driver? For you to say something like that makes me believe you have not because being a driver is way more physically demanding than working in the warehouse. Do y'all have to deal with the constant heat/cold/weather? Do y'all have to climb numerous flights of stairs in apartment complexes? Maybe even getting cooked inside one of these vans like a microwave? Y'all have restrooms inside the warehouse right? And even a little snack store with cold drinks? Damn must be tough working in the warehouse
I can’t tell you how bad I feel for you and all delivery drivers and what your jobs entail. I appreciate all of you so much and I think it is unfair how you are being treated. I thank you for making this video explaining in detail what your job experience is. This makes me stop and think, before I purchase and who I purchase from. Bless you all.
I did amazon delivery for about 1 year, I climbed up to be one of the top drivers. everyday I would come in a have 180-200 stops a day. I enjoyed the job. However, the pay was just not worth it. 18.25 for me and the other driver who only has 100 stops that day gets paid the same. It just didn’t make sense that the other drivers who are slower and with less stops and packages are getting paid the same or more then me. 😂 I was offered to drive in the big trucks for a whopping extra 1$. To me that was not a good deal. If I got offered at least 24-25$ then I would’ve done it, but for 19.25$, it just didn’t add up. But I do thank all the drivers who do this type of work. I’m driving allowed me to understand their struggles on a daily bases, and their hard work does not go unnoticed.
@@d14flare that’s exactly what I did, I was still one of the top drivers working at a slower pace and taking my lunch. However, a lot of DSP incentivize on you working fast and getting back fast. It’s all about numbers with this job, the more packages your can deliver, the more money the dsp makes. I noticed at my dsp that since I slowed down and my numbers dropped a slight bit. My dsp would get on my assss and other drivers assss for going slow. They pick and choose their favors and majority of the time their favors are the slow drivers who slack and they don’t care about the good workers. That’s one of the main reason the turnover rate for this job is so high. It just like I said the pay was not worth it. You have to know your worth and you don’t want to be breaking your back for a company that doesn’t realize your worth.
If you’re fast I would definitely recommend FedEx… they pay by the day and you can negotiate your rate 180-220 a day working 4-10 hrs depending on your route. If you live in a condensed area where you’re doing 30-40 per stop you’ll finish easily by noon to 3pm. The better routes are condensed cause you’re grabbing and going, it’s a better organizing system than Amazon and you basically in charge of how you do your route. But there are shitty routes where that’s not the case, it just takes longer and sometimes they fuck you with a high stop count 180-220. Also depends if you have bulky stops and if businesses that can slow you down. 2-3 days a week I’m working 4-6 hrs Thursday and fridays are heavy and sometimes I’m doing as much as 10 hrs. But the downside is the weather, no AC, having too many big heavy items. Personally it’s not for me cause I rather work with my brain, but I’m still there until I find something better in terms of pay and comfortability
Thank you for all the amazing comments. After this video, the most stops I’ve ever had got up to 172 with over 325 packages and I wasn’t getting home till about 9pm.
I thought you worked at Alibaba.
how much they pay you, with benefits
That's the average. ...and that's pretty good. Delivering in the rural areas I wouldn't get back to the station until around 10PM. When it got dark things got real interesting.
Same here.
I think the most that I’ve had was 389 packages or 408.
Can’t quite remember the exact, but I do recall it being immense. I’m pretty good and pretty fast so I see that they were taking great advantage of that.
Whether I’m good or not though, to me that’s an excessive amount.
I was getting back very close to 9 and 9:30 PM almost every day.
Our fleet leaves the distribution center pretty late though. We were the last DSP to leave. We left around 11:45 AM / noon.
That job is brutal, i did it for around 3 months and left immediately, it suckkkss , its underpaid, is bad, specially in summer, did it in Miami, and let me tell u, dont work with these contractors, is badddd stay away
It starts to suck when you have to make above 160 stops.
Keep in mind of the weather, most Drivers don’t even take their breaks.
Organizing your packages greatly helps you.
Business stops and apartment stops slow you down drastically.
That's normal days for me and still go rescue after
So true
you guys need to make way more money for doing what you guys do
I can never figure out the apartment complex
Imagine working for USPS with on average 900 stops, with no A/C in an unreliable vehicle.
My son is an Amazon driver so I have tremendous amount of respect for them. One thing he left out in the video is my son has had people be so mean to him yelling even saying racial remarks just because they are stuck behind his van on a narrow road and he has no.place to go but forward. He has told me about the nice people that have feasts waiting for them because they understand so now I have cold water bottles waiting as well in this heat. Please be nice to the delivery drivers they mean something to someone out there. ❤
that is a great idea to have chilled water bottle waiting for the driver. I think Amazon is working to make things easier for delivery persons and faster and more accurate for the customers.. I think one of thier innovations of taking a picture of the package in front of the door is one of them. And i believe Fedex has not adopted this with their deliveries.. it is quite helpful.. I am interested in knowing more about the difficulties of deliering to apartments.. perhaps there are ways to make it easier.. maybe using augmented reality to help the driver plot out the way to get tothe apartment most efficiently?
U know why nobody likes Amazon drivers cuz they break all the laws do stupid shit on road. They block everyone’s driveways and they park on the wrong side of road. I know cuz I’m a UPS driver and Amazon and fedex are the worst drivers they are all private contractors nobody watches them.
I'm sorry your sorry son has to deal with the jerks, I wish delivery drivers got more respect 😥😔
I love that you mentioned that some customers leave water and wonderful things out for drivers.
Some customers are really awesome. When I delivered, there are a lot of customers who leave bowls of snacks, treats, etc.
One winter when it was close to Christmas, one customer welcomed me into their house to have some of their homemade cookies. 😃
Was so sweet.
well said.
Respect. This is a great way to lose weight. I went from 255lbs to 198lbs in 6 months. Those apartments sucked.
Smartest way to lose weight...while you earn not as you pay.
Problem is you dont stop losing weight
the most frustrating thing is people who don't even know their address, or give no instructions on how to enter a locked apartment complex gate. Some of those can't be unlocked with the Amazon "key".
Your knees are also destroyed from climbing all those damn stairs.
@@adotintheshark4848 Leave that shi in the mailroom or mark as undeliverable lol.
I buy a lot through amazon. We appreciate your hard work and professionalism. You guys always drop off my packages at my door, unlike fedex throwing packages out on street and walking away. You are appreciated

Amazon doesn't directly hire its drivers not only to cut down on operating costs but to prevent the drivers from unionizing like UPS
The operators are absolutely ruthless and mean! All around a waste of time fuck them
ohh okay, very smart move
what worries me as a usps guy is that one day Amazon will run out of delivery drivers. Then they'll resort to dropping all of their stuff off at the Post Office for us to deliver again.
We still get a fair deal of it but we also get a ton in the way of walmart, target, perscriptions and everything else under the sun. UPS swings by and unloads on us. DHL comes around and unloads stuff on us. Drop Shippers etc...
If amazon thinks they can keep prime members with 2 day shipping thru the po... they got another thing coming lmao.
That will only work temporary. This is why unions are so vital for all workers. It forces the capitalist to treat you like a human instead of a number.
@Daniela-bb94 Ppl get flirted with everyday, I do while at work, it is what it is.
Respect these guys work their asses off
I always thank the Amazon drivers when they deliver a package, and let them know that I know what a tough job they have. Please, do the same.
they suck lol
I don't they should speak up and demand better instead of doing slave labor for bare minimum
AMAZON is a slave driving plantation that hires slaves directly and thru third party delivery services. Amazon doesn't give a damn about you or providing decent, nonhazardous working conditions for their slave employees. The ONLY thing that matters to the slave driver is REVENUE and KEEPING LABOR COSTS AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE TO ZEROOOOO !!!

Perfect reason to unionize. No one should be pissing in a bottle or worried to take a break.
No time for that stuff at 22 stops per hour.
Piss bottle is actually great (not so great when it spills) or heats up in the vehicle lol. Lots of jobs where you don’t get a break (but still get it taken out of your pay check). Probably worst thing is eating out and the poor food quality.
Don’t try UPS then. This is child’s play to a UPS driver.
I do 25-30avg stops per hour in a neighborhood. I got time to piss, take a snack and smoke a stick of cigaritte lol
That's why I always leave an "Above and beyond" thank you for all my Amazon delivery drivers. Even when I have to take the elevator to the lobby to retrieve my package/s. Even when delivery is late. It's hard work and I appreciate ordering something while laying in bed and have it delivered to me, especially when you are elderly. Thank you all very, very much. And may God guide you and protect you always especially while delivering your packages.
tip the person in cash. Every delivery driver from Door Dash on up really appreciates it.
This is just as good as leaving snacks or drinks for the driver 🙏
This comment should be pinned.
After covid, this service is taken for granted nowadays
I get it but people like you make this very hard and time consuming delivering like a regular mail that leaves the mail in the lobby do you have any idea how much better that will be for us drivers your already a hour away and I have 300 more packages no matter the size but have a nice day

This gave me flashbacks. I used to do this. I don't plan on going back unless I'm desperate. It was summer, and a lot of the vans didn’t have working AC. I lost 10 lbs I couldn't afford to lose.

Current Amazon driver here. I completely felt everything said above this^. On a side note I just wanna add one thing. today I just got a violation for running a yellow light. The AI dash cameras inside the vehicle can detect everything going on in the van and outside. If you get serious violations like this one, you can get suspended for one or more days, depending on how many other violations you got or the whole fleet in general got. These cameras can detect speed, distracted driving (could just be from taking a sip of water), trailing too close to a car, running a red/ yellow light, seatbelt usage, and a bunch of other things. I can’t believe that I’m being punished for not even wrong in the eyes of police officers.
😂😂 good luck bro i know the feeling. Stay hydrated and look out for yourself
Yeah, good driver. I like the drivers and give them a break if I can.
I worked as a driver and I finished my route with 2 hours to spare. My last stop was in the middle of nowhere and the nearest place for me to grab food was like 20 minutes away. I called and reported I completed my route and the shift manager said okay, need you to do a rescue. I said okay after I take my 30 minute break I’ll call back and you can send me there location and I’ll do the pickup. I drove 20 minutes to get to the closest civilization, took a piss, grabbed food. Sat back down in the van and he called and was like “dude you done yet?” I said I just grabbed food…I haven’t even ate yet. He said “well idk what to tell you, 30 minutes is 30 minutes regardless of how far you have to drive to get food, go do the pickup” and I was baffled because my entire route was finished, I didn’t take my break because it was a new route and I wanted to be sure I’d finish it and now I don’t even get to eat despite MY work being done because someone else is slacking and needs to be rescued. That did it for me and I politely bowed out and chucked up the deuces.

I don’t get the not taking breaks. I delivered in Long Island ny, like don’t people need to eat? Unless someone’s goal is to lose weight being a da. Yeah I think once you’re in the habit it barely takes 10 seconds more each stop, engine and seatbelt.
Is that 210 stops flat not without groupstops? Or your counting by how many locations? Last 2week i did the most stops ive ever had including the rescue and it was 224, multi locations not included.

Thanks Prestin! First interview is tomorrow. Currently I’m working 12 hour days outside in Texas, with an hour commute one way. Dsp is 5 minutes from the house.
I’m excited, ain’t scared to work.
Hoping for overtime, as I don’t get paid it now. Whatever it takes baby! Keep grinding
Good for you because you'll learn in life that hard work is its own reward.
Bro get in and out asap. Amazon is a scam
Lolol
Try to get a second job. Keep Amazon as a additional income type of thing, maybe 2 days a week.
I drove for amazon about 2017-18 and i loved it. its a bag. from what i can see now a lot of comments ppl dont really want the money. 20+ a hour, weekly pay and the hours there... if you managing your money correctly you will legit make a bag. and you work alone. i understand the repititive part andthe rescuing part but if you have goals outside of work it makes the job easy..
I appreciate all the hard work all the drivers do to bring us our packages, thanks so much!
Thanks for sharing this video. This is all what we need to know about Amazon delivery position
My back started hurting as soon as you showed the inside of the van. I quit 🎉
Bahahahahahahaha 😂
AMAZON is a slave driving plantation that hires slaves directly and thru third party delivery services. Amazon doesn't give a damn about you or providing decent, nonhazardous working conditions for their slave employees. The ONLY thing that matters to the slave driver is REVENUE and KEEPING LABOR COSTS AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE TO ZEROOOOO !!! Paying you a fair wage for a fair amount of working hours is not of any concern to anyone in management at AMAZON PLANTATION !!
Gen Z ??
Dude worked so long, he didn't even have the energy to take off his uniform after work for the video 😄
I just got hired n have my 3 days of training start next week. Very informative vid.
It’s not as bad as these ppl on RUclips make it out to be. Fold up a bag n put it on your passenger seat, organize your packages by number, get a sharpie n write the driver assist number on your overflow. Makes it easy to find later. Takes a lil time when loading but it’s worth it. It’s demanding, but the money isn’t bad. Very repetitive. Bring a cooler with water n ice. It’s really easy. Just have to be a self motivating worker. Just drive good, pay attention to stop signs. Just be alert. You’ll do fine. Don’t let the bad parts ruin it for you. If you need a job this is a decent paying entry level job.
The wear and tear it does to your body is NOT worth the pay trust me you will find out AFTER your first month once you are done with your nurser routes. You will CONSTANTLY see new drivers being hired every single day cause people are quitting all the time. You will see for yourself. This is why they hire ANYBODY and EVERYBODY.
Well if it's like it was for me a few years ago then if you actually come in and do a decent job you will become a workhorse and expected to bail out lazy drivers on the daily by picking up a portion of their route after you are done with yours with no incentive. That gets old REAL quick.
It is the hardest job in America, the stops and packages they give one person, should be given to 2 or 3 people, it is not a job for one person. They are just maximizing profit off people, and enslaving people.
Prestin. Thank you for telling us what the job is like. My brother works for Amazon in Virginia. I never get to speak to him but I have no doubt that he is kept very busy. Keep working hard until you get into something that pays better and is more interesting and fulfilling to you. See you in the next video. George/NY.
Awesome video! It was really nice to see what your day consists of. 😃👍
Thank you for what you do.
Very nicely done video and so much respect for you guys. What you do every day.
Was an Amazon delivery driver for a year in AZ. Honestly I liked the job. But all the rescues I had to do from my incompetent fellow employees burnt me out fast. Did that on top of 190 stops which are more because lots of them are grouped. Should be 150 stops maximum per day. Good luck brotha
Yeah the rescues are bullshit. That's why I quit. You work hard, they make you deliver another lazy employees stops.
💯
Brain dead take. I literally said I liked the job… just didn’t like the rescues. Can you read?
What exactly is a "rescue"? Thanks in advance
Basically it’s when you’re finished with the route that’s assigned to you. Then you call dispatch and they usually always give you the bad new that you have to rescue a fellow co worker that’s behind. Taking some of their stops and adding it onto yours.
Simplest Video I’ve ran Across while searching for vids relating to this job !! ‼️✊🏿
Thank you for sharing this. It has opened a lot on my mind. I was going to work there and get my training but i had a gut feeling something was off. I wish you well in your journey.
I'm in Arizona, so inside the van can be 115 to 120. Sometimes, days can feel frustrating. I got in trouble because I went to the restroom, they told me you could've that time to deliver. I'm not pissing in a bottle lmao
That is so UNdignify!!
U don’t have ac in your van?
I did this job during the peak of Covid all the way until the beginning of that Autumn. If you take this job, get ready to be busy all day. Also, if another driver is about to finish their shift, the company will ask you to "rescue" them. This means you and that driver will meet somewhere and they will unload some/most of their packages onto yours. It's not really optional either.
Taking a break is NOT recommended if you're trying to deliver everything. If you return to the base with undelivered packages, they will bother you give you shit about it and ask you all types of questions about it. You also get rated on your delivery abilites. It's all very stupid. If you're doing it, make sure it's temporary. I left before the winter. Imagine walking through driveways and uphill residences during snow, with packages... hell no. There are mostly cons. Also, while true that no one micromanages you, there are staff members that are a level above drivers, but they usually have horrible attitudes and they will snitch on you and provoke you.

I did delivery for Amazon too for less than 6 months, in the van side door i open it just a little bit cracked open enough just to take a piss. No cap. There is so many DSP (delivery service partners) anyone can sign-up and start their own DSP with Amazon.
I always delivered all my packages around 180-240 packages each day. I don't give a f, i put my next tote packages in the front seat and leave my belt buckle plugged in and just wrapped the strap over me.
I was one of the best drivers. I would get gifts, amazon swag, and gift cards. Not to brag but.
It is frowned upon on if you don't deliver all your packages. If you don't, they send a rescue. Someone who will meet up with you and take some packages from you and deliver them.
DSP Amazon delivery isn't a real long-term career imo. I learned that quickly that we were just 3rd party contractors. Amazon did this on purpose so that no one can blame them if any drivers get into any trouble. Amazon; They will just respond and say "the driver is a 3rd party contractor and isn't a Amazon employee"
DSP's sucks. Benefits from the DSP isn't great either. 👎
I've always wondered this, when I get a package delivered it always asks "how did it go". There is a little thumbs up or thumbs down. I know 99% of the time. I always do thumbs up, then I will select things like on time, friendly, followed directions stuff like that. Does that help the driver get bonuses or do they not care?
It's like FedEx ground...3rd party.
Amazon swag
Ha
That’s really interesting! I’ve always wanted to see a video like this
I’m a delivery driver myself but for a beer distributor in Arizona. We have an Amazon facility near our warehouse and I have always wondered why all the Amazon trucks start rolling out to begin their deliveries around 11:00. Why not start early in the morning? Especially here in AZ.
Its tough for sure, it is also easy at same time. The app does make everything harder than it should in my opinion but it is what it is very straightforward and challenging all at once lol.
Very interesting video. Thank You for showing us. Please stay cool.
Thank you for sharing your experience. This was extremely helpful.
Thank you. Great video. You covered pretty everything that i was curious about.
I don’t miss it at all. It def put money in my pocket when I needed it but man it sucks. Not worse than FedEx delivering tho! Been w usps for almost two years I love it 🇺🇸
I drive for FedEx in Northern Michigan. So I feel your pain lol. We don’t have quite as many stops or packages as you. But we get all the big heavy shit. It also takes 1 hour and 30 minutes to get to my first delivery everyday. We also get paid by the day, not the hour.
I quit FedEx due to not being transparent and I didn’t want to deal with big stuff due to my herniated disc. About to start my day driving alone tomorrow
@@gringa23How’s it been?
@@gringa23following
@nalsra0 I'm on day 2 solo, day 5 overall. Not bad. It's physical as hell, and the absurd level of detail in driving is tricky at first but overall I love it. I'm outta toledo and they have my route up in Grosse Isle, Gibraltar and whatever that little Island is called
Those Chewy boxes SUCK.😬
I got 315 packages my first day ride along.
Thats crazy! I remember everything over 100 stops for fed ex home delivery was insane 22 years ago, I can't imagine doing 315. Only difference is I got 5 zip codes back then and now with everyone ordering online you get a small area to deliver.
@@Light23K that dsp sucks bad.

Stops.
@@jaystechroom today, day 2 solo, 148 stops, over 200 packages... I'm liking it tho
Nice video bro, I’m a Amazon driver as well. There are a few misconceptions about the job. The higher the stop count doesn’t really mean you will be there all day. Amazon is a very work at your pace to get the job done type of gig. I was on nursery routes for about two days until I started getting 180+ stops. Highest I’ve had is 200 stops but that happened in peak season. Other than that it doesn’t matter if I have 170 or 190 stops. I get done at the same time everyday and I’ve been employed with my team for about 7 months now. It is a tough gig but worth it considering the benefits they provide in different Dispatxh groups. It’s more a mental than anything else, I hear people complain on the job everyday. But to me, it’s barely hard work, overall it’s just tedious which would make sense why people find it difficult cause nobody likes to feel like a robot. But as a job, I think it’s the best one I’ve had and I’ve worked some hard jobs.
I had no idea that Amazon delivery drivers made hundreds of stops and delivered hundreds of packages a day. I live in an apartment and get a lot of packages delivered by Amazon. Thank You Amazon delivery drivers for your service. I try to get packages delivered on Saturdays and Sundays so I can be home to receive them. When I am home, I always buzz the drivers into the building or come outside right away to get my packages.
Stop being lazy and go to the store.
@@chillmfwill19 You do not know anything about my situation or about what items I have delivered by Amazon. Therefore, you should not judge me and tell me to "Stop being lazy and go to the store." If I choose to use the Amazon delivery service that is my business and my right.
yes people LOVE working weekends
Excellent review!!!
Worked for FedEx before. UPS is the only company worth working for when doing residential deliveries
@@jovanivelazquez5453 you mean apartments? Cus I assure you the group stops of apartments is horrible with Amazon.
Dude i got a part time job, just flip stuff on the side and I’m doing okay, I have higher goals and aspirations but it just is what it is right now, can’t rush the process at all, working sucks bro but u gotta find something that’ll give u a balance as well as take care of you

Hey Prestin! I work on the other spectrum. I'm in the warehouse as the diverter when I take a shift. I am fortunate to work in a smaller warehouse in a smaller county but we are still pushing out between 15k - 22k packages into the totes from our fullfillment center for the drivers. Thank you for what you did or do for our customers🤙 You nailed it when saying "It's a simple job but it's not easy"

wow, man, that's a lot of work. I order a lot from Amazon so I want to say thank you for doing this job and getting our packages to us on time. a big thank you.,
You can thank them by leaving a positive delivery feedback rating on each delivery 👍
Covid peak season here in nj. We had well over 200 stops with over 600 packages. 😂😂😂 it was prison work.
Fuck that 600 is insane
@@haydenw.9809I’m sayinggg. I barely do 200 🤦🏼♂️
For comparison, I'm a home health nurse (visiting RN at home) and our productivity is visiting 5 patients a day in their home including driving and charting. I make about base 130000 to 140000K a year. My son had to see his pediatrician at Kaiser clinic for emergency (last call appointment). When I saw the MD computer screen, my son was the 18th patient seen by MD (at 4:45 PM and they close at 5 PM). The Kaiser pediatrician resigned in 1.5 to 2 years but when I looked up their base salary it was about 225000 to 250000 which is double to triple RN income. But they have to see 15 to 20 patients. And amazon drivers need to drop 210 to 230 packages at >200 houses for minimum wage. Go to school and learn some trade.
And people wonder why healthcare is so much
Well it must be pointed out that until america gets back to the gold standard, the System we are currently under does NOT have our best interests at heart, and so round, and round we go!!
America must abolish the FEDERAL RESERVE, the I.R.S, and the CENTRAL BANK.
@@bossmodl3thalpoppa484Doctor and Nurse salaries are a fraction of healthcare costs.
So many people don't have the financials or the time to not work crazy hours and go to school. Calm down with your passive aggressive judgements.
@tminusnyc2915 Ty, u summed up what I was going to say.
Awesome video. Thanks for your hard work!
Thanks. I live in a huge apartment complex so we see your drivers often. I always feel for them as i know how hard they work and how fast they race around delivering things. We see them dragging those huge totes around and wonder why in the world they dont put wheels on them! Ridiculous. And insane that they have no AC. And you are right... we have easr and west sides of building (183 apartments) and you cannot get to oppose sides without going to first floor. Very difficult to find your way around. We do have elevators but 4 floors. I am on 4th and get several deliveries a week. Amazed at how they do it.
You should work for Pizza Hut or dominos as a delivery driver. You get to keep tips and the work is heck of a lot easier than Amazon plus you make around 20 an hour plus tips . Thanks for sharing!
And, when you kill your car, you suddenly have no job to get another one.

Did you know I can pee almost anytime I want?
i do 170-190 stops 4 days out the week it’s brutal i don’t take any other breaks except my lunch
Mad respect for you man. I could never get there
You definitely peeing in bottles lolol
@@glue6865I got used to it
How much you make?
For me everything is good only one bad thing is the heat in summer its like hell lol
This job definitely isn't for everyone. I used to work for them and I would get anywhere from 165- 200 stops but if you know what you're doing you learn little tricks that make the job easier after a while. The biggest key for me is when I deliver in residentitial areas at the beginning of the day I try to at least average 28-30 stops an hour before it gets too hot and the rest of the day I am basically on cruise control. 70% of the packages you deliver are not very heavy when compared to companies to like FedEx and UPS. A big bulk of your packages are small that are literally like the size of a piece of paper. The turnover rate is pretty high though and I fully understand why. You definitely have to be mentally tough also to stay at a job like this. But when you need to keep your bills paid it is better than not working at all...
Yes. I say the same thing . Respect this guys they really work hard.
In my mid 20's back in 1980's I trained to go to Hawaii for the Ironman Competition.🚴🏻🏊🏻🏋🏻
Your an Ironman working for Amazon as a Delivery Driver. 100 degree heat in that extremely hot delivery van in extreme hot temps 200 stops till sundown Your amazing !!
This is why I can't with any delivery job. I wanted to work for USPS back in the day, but I already sweat like a faucet just moving around in 80F weather. Then there's the stories about drivers passing out from heat exhaustion and dog attacks.
I get early finish and rescue bonus . avg $27/hr
I have a friend whose son is working at Amazon while going to college part time. He is working like 55-60 hours a week since they are short staffed in the Orlando area, and he told me that his son said that 90% of the workforce there refuse to work past 40 hours. Once they hit that, they stop and leave, ditching routes and all, leaving his son and a few others to finish them. But they won’t terminate the other drivers because they’re tenured, and they are already short staffed…..
Much respect to you. Peak for us was 200+ stops and 300+ packages. Started during Christmas. Yes, apartments sucked. I always changed my route and did those first and neighborhoods with schools 2nd so I didn’t hit that school traffic when it let out. Agree with you about the dogs. Good luck to you!
Thank you so much for sharing! This was more helpful than the actual Amazon “what to expect” video Amazon sends you. lol
We starting in Hawaii soon and I’m excited. I hope I maintain that same

I tried working as an Amazon warehouse associate. I quit after the second day. It's a lot more physically demanding than being a driver. Perhaps a decent job for young people but not for older people. Definitely a job that should be done by robots.
I've been with Amazon for 3 years at a Delivery Station and I've outlasted over 1k people at this point, and they always quit for the exhaustion, Pick 2 Buffer wears you out insanely.
Have you been promoted yet?@@edman813
At my station the older workers work the hardest.
All the younger kids just talk and flirt with each other all day, I swear we have had at least 7-8 relationships start between associates in the 3yrs I've been there. And that's just the ones showing it.
@edman813 P2B was chill at my station, we have since went to automated P2B machines and it seems way worse.
I miss the old P2B.
Have you been a driver? For you to say something like that makes me believe you have not because being a driver is way more physically demanding than working in the warehouse. Do y'all have to deal with the constant heat/cold/weather? Do y'all have to climb numerous flights of stairs in apartment complexes? Maybe even getting cooked inside one of these vans like a microwave? Y'all have restrooms inside the warehouse right? And even a little snack store with cold drinks? Damn must be tough working in the warehouse
I always thought they worked for Amazon learned something new today 😮
Amazing! Always wondered how they were doing this everyday! I'm leaving a mini frig. out from now on!
I can’t tell you how bad I feel for you and all delivery drivers and what your jobs entail. I appreciate all of you so much and I think it is unfair how you are being treated. I thank you for making this video explaining in detail what your job experience is. This makes me stop and think, before I purchase and who I purchase from. Bless you all.
I did amazon delivery for about 1 year, I climbed up to be one of the top drivers. everyday I would come in a have 180-200 stops a day. I enjoyed the job. However, the pay was just not worth it. 18.25 for me and the other driver who only has 100 stops that day gets paid the same. It just didn’t make sense that the other drivers who are slower and with less stops and packages are getting paid the same or more then me. 😂 I was offered to drive in the big trucks for a whopping extra 1$. To me that was not a good deal. If I got offered at least 24-25$ then I would’ve done it, but for 19.25$, it just didn’t add up. But I do thank all the drivers who do this type of work. I’m driving allowed me to understand their struggles on a daily bases, and their hard work does not go unnoticed.
Pay should start at $25
Then don't work so hard that's your fault
@@d14flare that’s exactly what I did, I was still one of the top drivers working at a slower pace and taking my lunch. However, a lot of DSP incentivize on you working fast and getting back fast. It’s all about numbers with this job, the more packages your can deliver, the more money the dsp makes. I noticed at my dsp that since I slowed down and my numbers dropped a slight bit. My dsp would get on my assss and other drivers assss for going slow. They pick and choose their favors and majority of the time their favors are the slow drivers who slack and they don’t care about the good workers. That’s one of the main reason the turnover rate for this job is so high. It just like I said the pay was not worth it. You have to know your worth and you don’t want to be breaking your back for a company that doesn’t realize your worth.
@@d14flareu sound like an EBT employee. 😅
If you’re fast I would definitely recommend FedEx… they pay by the day and you can negotiate your rate 180-220 a day working 4-10 hrs depending on your route. If you live in a condensed area where you’re doing 30-40 per stop you’ll finish easily by noon to 3pm. The better routes are condensed cause you’re grabbing and going, it’s a better organizing system than Amazon and you basically in charge of how you do your route. But there are shitty routes where that’s not the case, it just takes longer and sometimes they fuck you with a high stop count 180-220. Also depends if you have bulky stops and if businesses that can slow you down. 2-3 days a week I’m working 4-6 hrs Thursday and fridays are heavy and sometimes I’m doing as much as 10 hrs. But the downside is the weather, no AC, having too many big heavy items. Personally it’s not for me cause I rather work with my brain, but I’m still there until I find something better in terms of pay and comfortability
What I don't like is Amazon will put 3 stop in 1 stop and count as one stop
Multi stops sucks
