Honestly for whoever is struggling to label parcels, what I usually do is sort them by what they are so boxes in the boot, miscellaneous on the back right seat, envelopes next to me on the passenger seat, and so on and so forth. I never rlly lose much time. I just read on the app what it is (Envelope), I know where it is and then I just find the correct number. Usually works for me
Hi great to see these Amazon Blocks always very informative, even when you’re going down horrid back lanes and massive pot holes 😧😧 I’ve been there believe me !! Great Vlog
You have such a positive outset delivering in these empty, uncertain roads. Me personally, I would be confused & worried, even if the weather is sunny, so I would rather work in a busy area where things are exciting & get paid less!!
Just did my first Flex Logistics block today as was inspired by you. Loading/organising the packages while at the DC was a bit stressful - I ended up pulling over before the first drop to number each parcel with a sharpie. Bar that it was pretty smooth! Love the videos man, hope to see you at Exeter or around at some point. 👍
If it’s a same-day delivery block (usually the evening blocks) they’re numbered like 001-040 which is helpful. If it’s a DSP block (which the daytime blocks usually are) then you get weird shit like U51 and 561 on the stickers which isn’t helpful at all, so I feel you
That’s not a bad strategy for the daytime blocks to be fair, the yellow stickers aren’t helpful unless you’re doing an evening block for same-day deliveries where they’re numbered properly. Say hi if you see me at Exeter! 🙌🏻
I had a boosted 4 hour block for £89 but was 120 mile round trip. Still finished early but still. Lot of mileage to put on the car. I love the 3.5 hr blocks that scan as 1.5 or 2 😍
Nice video, I have delivered to some of these houses for a DSP. It's cool seeing some of the places I've been to on video and the lanes and unpaved roads are always good fun.
I’ve been doing Amazon flex full time now just eat delivery has gone so quiet it’s not worth going out. You inspired me to get flex and it’s really enjoyable 😊 Really like your videos
Quick question mate, I start with Amazon flex in a few days probably Monday coming but mines 9hr shifts, has the bathroom situation been sorted or is it still the same crap drivers have been dealing with for years now? If you don’t mind me asking? Much appreciated if you could reply and give me a tip on starting as I’m new xD
Maximum hours I get are 4.5hrs and I use any McDonalds for toilet breaks. I am in Barnsley and my main station is Sheffield next to Meadowhall. I manage quite well and enjoy the delivering.
When you are loading the vechile use the yellow stickers on the packages. They have a driver aid number and if you are delivering same day delivery you can organise your stops in cronoligical order will save you a lot of time when you are out on the road
I have just submitted all my details to amazon after being on the waiting list for just a few months, i just open the app now and then and it normally says we are not taking on any new drivers at the moment, but this time it said there are and advising to apply fast before recruiting ends, so just waiting for the backgrounds checks to clear, and i will be giving it a go, as a way to top up my private pension, only seven years to retirement.
Nice video man, just a quick question. Did your main insurance include the business side of it or you have just made an insurance for the time you are working ( like hourly insurance or something in this sort) ?
It’s fascinating watching how it is in the UK versus here in the US. Seems identical. Do they have Instant Offers where you are? With Flex I enjoy doing the Instant Offers from Whole Foods here in the Philly Suburbs. They show the route info, drop off locations, stops, etc. It’s been slow here too all year with all the apps. Doordash, Uber Eats, Instacart, Shipt, Spark, Flex, etc
Don’t think we get Instant Offers, we just get those reserved “Just For You” blocks that come up every so often, nothing special about them just you get to reserve them in advance. Seems like food and grocery delivery is struggling in lots of areas right now, would like to see it pick up to the same levels as a couple years ago. Thanks for watching from across the pond 🙌🏻
Why when you select: question mark at top right of screen > then customer unavailable > call or text customer does it not register first time and send you back to station? This afternoon I had to repeat this process about 6 times before it would register and give me the option to “return to station now” or “return by 10am” the next day. The customer did not answer but why does the app keep making you phone the customer multiple times?
I don’t know but there is something I find annoying when a driver can’t be bothered to put their hand up to say thanks and just points a finger. Maybe it’s just me and my weird quirks.
Yea it wasn’t the nicest bit of road I’ve driven on, thankfully that’s pretty rare even for Devon and if it got too bad I could have reversed back and gone through the town instead. Safe to say you need to get your car serviced at least twice a year doing Flex down here 😂😂
There is no way your fuel is that cheap plus you drive a really old banger so how are you getting 45+ MPG? That car does 35 mpg at best. Show us your mpg guage I really don't believe your fuel is that cheap
I have my fuel tracker note imgur.com/a/6vo6zcp that’s my last few fills tracked, do the maths if you want, my expenses are accurate. Averages around 14-15p per mile depending on fuel prices. I drive sensibly because this car is for work, 60-70mph on motorways, easy 40-45mpg even in a 13 year old Micra. The thing barely moves faster than a snail it’s not hard to get decent mileage from it.
@@autohustles yes but real life mpg and £ is not what you see on your dashboard. You have to calculate it? Did you do that? If you see 40mpg in reality you are getting 30-35mpg give or take.

Use the yellow driver aid sticker bud don’t need to use a sharpie then good luck to you in your deliveries
@@JamesCresswell-s3mHow do you read them? I had a quick look but couldn’t work out how it relayed to my route?
They’re useless for these blocks (DSP reject blocks) the yellow stickers are only helpful on same-day delivery blocks.
If it’s a same-day delivery block (usually the evening blocks) they’re numbered like 001-040 which is helpful. If it’s a DSP block (which the daytime blocks usually are) then you get weird shit like U51 and 561 on the stickers which isn’t helpful at all, so I feel you

@@barnsleyviking67 I was thinking that, can just go to a maccies as I’m half 10 till half 7 so it’s pretty long. Thank you for your reply
Nice video bro... I need to give logistics a go again
Great video sir very informative
Thank you 🙌🏻 thanks for watching!

I know, this isn’t a same-day block though so it has the useless stickers with things like U58 that don’t seem to mean anything to Flex drivers 🤣
@@autohustles yeah I drive for dsp get like 150-160 stops per day haha

Nice meeting you outside co op the other day I was the tall guy behind love your content 😂
Hahaha yes you legend good to meet you man 🙌🏻 cheers for watching, appreciate it!
Jeeeeees, that road. Its worse when you're a mile or more in and then cant keep going and have to reverse

That Micra must be built like a tank !
It serves me well, can basically handle anything 😂😂
Hi, are there any jobs I can do apart from food with a 5 door vauxhall corsa?

Work for Amazon how much leave did you get or take when son was born
Who do you use for insurance? 🤔
According to 99% of people that's an envelope lol, envelopes have nothing to do with size no mater how much you wish it did
They would have run out of 3.5 hour routes so you are lucky and they are dragging you out a 2.5 hour
Yea, it’s remarkable how often that happens though, this route was one of the only ones I’ve ever done where the route matched the block duration.
I don’t know but there is something I find annoying when a driver can’t be bothered to put their hand up to say thanks and just points a finger. Maybe it’s just me and my weird quirks.
I wouldn't mind someone pointing a finger, I feel like it conveys the same message. I'd much prefer it to somebody not doing anything.
13.10 thats what puts me off 😅

With insurance can cover Amazon and uber ?
With the policy I’m on (Zego 30-day) yes it covers parcels and food.
It’s really annoying me so had to comment 😂. SilverStone not Silvertonne
Wrong, its Silverton.
