I don't really show it but this was the worst Prime Week I've worked🥲 It's good to be back though!
Nice welcome back!
welcome back we missed you
You're not alone m8, but it'll be over before we know it, August. I always say to my dsp owner, "I'm happy to be here, even though it don't look like it, that's why the smile's on the box".
@@legogaara But then four months later holiday season comes up... 💀I just wish DSP's offered holiday pay during those times.
WHOLLY COW!! HES ALIVE!!! HAHAHAHAHA 😂😂😂😂😂
“Safety first safety first” really means “don’t get hurt and make us pay workers comp”
Both mind and body cringe when I hear the word “safety” uttered by them (or any company)
Ikr no mention of working at a steady pace or taking breaks either. My DSP would have us eat while working so we didn't have to take breaks 😂
@@thatguy_2650The horror of eating while on your break! Slave conditions! Did you file for emotional distress and unfair working conditions? Do you have ptsd from all the trauma you endured? 😂😂😂
I know right?
Safety first... LOL yet want you to deliver a whole city of packages in just 8 hour shift and expecting the truck to comeback empty, bunch of hypocrites, no wonder they want no Union for their workers.
I worked as a driver for a month before quitting. The number of deliveries they expected me to make in a day were unbelievable and I just couldnt maintain their grueling standards without feeling broken 24/7. I refuse to live a life like that. Props to you for hanging in there
If amazon partner you with another man that would be a humane thing to do
It's utter trash
Jobs like that you've only gotta make yourself more productive and a little more pleasant to be around than the person next to you. Even if you're nowhere near what's "expected", if they won't let go of the other guy, you won't be going anywhere.
Corporates don’t care about individual narratives. If you don’t want to do it, someone else is hungry enough to do it. The more competition among the workers, the better it is for corporates.
How much were they paying you?
Thank you to all the Amazon drivers EVERYDAY!!! You’re the best, and do appreciate your hard work.
Don't thank them encourage them to unionize. Being able to hear support from the public can be the motivation these workers need to get fair wages and a voice at the table.
If u really want to Thank them, & u have it, cancel Prime. Do u really need everything that fast? Just pay for faster delivery when u actually need it
....
Do you know Jesus Christ can set you free from sins and save you from hell today
Jesus Christ is the only hope in this world no other gods will lead you to heaven
There is no security or hope with out Jesus Christ in this world come and repent of all sins today
Today is the day of salvation come to the loving savior Today repent and do not go to hell
Come to Jesus Christ today
Jesus Christ is only way to heaven
Repent and follow him today seek his heart Jesus Christ can fill the emptiness he can fill the void
Heaven and hell is real cone to the loving savior today
Today is the day of salvation tomorrow might be to late come to the loving savior today
Romans 6.23
For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
John 3:16-21
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
Mark 1.15
15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.
2 Peter 3:9
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
Hebrews 11:6
6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
Jesus
It's like they pull in desperate foreigners and minorities to slave away for no money. No wonder the company is so woke, the 3rd world is their entire labor force and they need to exploit the hell outta that labor!
Good thing I'll never be a delivery boy in this lifetime!! Lol
I worked as a driver for a week, then quit. The amount of packages they give a newbie is insane. I was on the road with a trainer 1 day, 1 shift. 2nd day and forward, on my own. Did I get all my stuff delivered, of course not. Did I catch hell for it? Of course I did. Constantly being told to go quicker. I went as fast as I could, as safe as I could. Still was getting reprimanded. My last day, halfway through, I called dispatch and told them I quit. I had enough. I got rescued, drove the van back, and left. Best I felt in a week. I never took a break cause I knew I was behind, yet by law we should be taking breaks. I must have sweat off at least 20-25 lbs of water, and when I was done working I had no energy to drive home more less eat. All I did was drink water for a week. Being honest. I get there are many packages, and I'm one that does like a fast paced job, but this was ridiculous. How they treat a newbie to the job sucks. The demands are way more then a newbie can handle. And they wonder why their turnover rate as astronomical.
Amazon contracts third party companies. That one really seems to suck. For my company, they gave my trainer a lighter load so he can better teach me and on the second day I was on my own but they gave me reduced stops which increased to pace me in over a month. Tho a coworker told me that another company (which is literally one desk away from my company) doesn’t do all that, much like the one you worked for.
It’s pretty bs, no way would anyone fair well being thrown straight in without any proper preparation.
They don’t give a shit
You should have told them, isn't safety first? Or is it just a saying...
@@lcfflc3887 lol they don't care about safety
@@lcfflc3887 They only care about targets being met. If the DSP's fail to deliver then they can have routes taken from them by Amazon. So they will just tell you to go faster ,deliver more.
I feel for you guys. I work for a UPS Store and mostly what we do now is Amazon returns.
We broke our record for returns after Prime Day not to mention our returns are growing fast in general.
I've been there for 16 years and it's pushing me hard to throw in the towel and move on.
Two other co-workers said they would quit if I left because they're getting worn down.
The good thing with going through this return insanity over the years is that I cancelled my Amazon account(use to spend thousands a year) and it made me rethink what I really needed and how I could get it locally or buy it straight from the manufacturer if I couldn't find it here.
I told Corporate back in 2022 that all the stores will turn into return stores and they laughed at me. Now it's 2024 and we barely print or actually ship anything and corporate is bending over for this return dystopia that society is feeding.
Bro has ultimate respect cuz bro was able to do all these orders
you worked for, and don't own the franchise? you worked 16 years at a dead end retail job. that should have been a problem on your 3rd or 4th year. the store associate/certified operator position is not a career.
Trust me man, you'll never, ever see me working like that in my life time.
Did you at least make a managerial position? What do you do at the UPS Store for 16 years?
Yeah, you're right. A lot of people in the comment section express their gratitude towards the delivery drivers which in general is great but kinda missing the entire point.
People who care and have the ability to should try to do the mild inconveniences you mentioned like ordering directly from the manufacturer or your local stores (e.g. groceries, books etc.) to the best of our ability and generally scale back the heavy cosumer mindset Amazon and other corporations condition you to do with their sales like Prime Day, Black Friday and general marketing. You thankfully really don't need much in our day and age to live very comfortably.
Only people who don't want you to think like that are the big corporations and how they design their business strategy and even products (think of Apple and other electric manufacturers with their planned obsolescence) but thankfully there are a lot of alternatives still around.
If I catch the driver, I give him a drink and a tip. You folks are hard workers.
ur a good man
God bless
Thank you!
where is this like Africa ???
This feels like Shawshank redemption 😮
I remember a couple years back-I had a my pickup’s windshield replaced by Safelite, my dude was literally outside in 25 degree weather replacing my shit while I sat up in my warm condo working in my home office…when he was done I had a $25 dollar Tim Hortons gift card waiting for him, I shook his hand, said Merry Christmas and told em to go get lunch: we’re only human
Cash is king.
Great effort of appreciation,
But TH might be the opposite of his route, or maybe his family needs something else.
Cash is always king.
@@ALCRAN2010 I’ll agree with it, you may be right
@@ALCRAN2010Are you serious? He didn't have to give anything extra, do you know how many hard working people there are out there in bad conditions? The Safelite guy signed up for that, no one is forcing him to do that job. This guy gives him extra and you complain? People like you are the reason, hard working people don't get tips anymore..
He's right. If you're going to give someone something, be sure they can actually make use of it. Don't give a tip in a Toys R Us gift card.
@@alastor8091 I get the whole cash is king idea but-Tim Hortons is everywhere, there was one right at the end of my street…pull your f-king service van in the drive-thru and go get a meal!
This gives me ptsd. I’m so glad I left and become a school bus driver instead. Seeing that 26 bags and 47 overflow would have had me crying lmao.
That's what I wanted to do but it's hard to get here in the DMV unless you apply in the ghetto. School bus drivers, do they give you GPS or do you have to remember the stops?
In my company we get route sheets and we just map it out on our personal phones.
After the second or third day you already know the route
The floor of the truck is wet from my sweat and tears.
damn school bus driver sounds so much more chill compared to this or what my current job is (retail, so its automatically hell)
Stepping on an IED in Iraq gives you PTSD, watching a RUclips video does not! Next!!!!
Amazon and other delivery workers, I appreciate all of you! Becareful out there.
This is the reason why when I order stuff on Amazon, I always put prefer everything bundle up together to make it easier so the driver don't have to make multiple trips to my house everyday.
But a familiar house on a familiar route is better than some odd new place all the time, especially in an apartment. The amount of trips to a particular house in a week doesn't really matter. What matters are careless pet owners with dangerous pets and warning signs all over who think it's a joke and people without house numbers up.
@@DjKDM7000Are you a driver? Are you saying this from experience?
I just don't use Amazon anymore
Sometimes it doesnt let you tho
And bezos pockets the money saved on not paying drivers, they don’t benefit at all most likely. Amazon would have any benefit whatsoever for workers engineered out of existence
I'm glad I quit, it was 2 years of hell and a $10,000 lawsuit at least... I legitimately get stressed seeing Amazon vans and packages. Either become an engineer or go to trade school don't waste your time working for these corporations.
Good advice. It's changed since Jeffery. B sold out to share holders . Corporate is killing America
A lawsuit from what?
@@Love-ng3kn Dog bite
A dog almost got me but luckily it had the cone around its neck. I just left the packages on the ground and walked away and said f' it and just sign without taking the pictures. Got 3 closed call. One time the notes said the dog is inside so I open the cate as soon as i put package down and about to take pictures the dog came out and I booked it.
@@Matthew-dd6kp My brother is scared of dogs.
I can't imagine delivering during this heatwave. Respect to all delivery drivers
arizona and texas drivers do it everyday. Respect
It sucks lol
I used to wear navy blue buttoned shirt and trousers.....after seeing other delivery guys and construction workers wear those neon safety shirts, I gave it a try after telling my boss of my new wardrobe change.......it was great wearing this UNTIL about a week later, the big boss called a meeting to tell us guys that the shop is closing down :((((
They literally have AC in their vans.
@@Mokotarish it's like the worst AC
I miss my delivery job sometimes. It was fun and i enjoyed seeing the customers faces light up or smile when i arrived with there package. It felt good seeing someone's day be made. I worked for a sub contracting delivery company and let me tell you the management was horrible. They did not care if you were out super late. They would only send help to the people they liked or were cool with. I couldn't take it anymore so i quit. I hate how most drivers decide to skip breaks because of the amount of work they have. I always took my break no matter how heavy my route was. Don't kill yourself working for companies like these, they do not care about you. They will replace you in a heartbeat. Always do your job well though, don't be lazy but also don't work too hard. I'm excited for what's next for this channel.
The job has it's pros and cons. I think the cons are finally outweigh the pros
@@LaosHouseagreed! It finally has!
Reminds me of my UPS days as a package car driver, peak season over the holidays was a nightmare, one of the older guys told me "dont make this a career" I listened, switched over to IT and now im making more with doing less. My body thanking me too.
IT is nice if theres not a lot of bad stuff happening. but you can burn out on that like any other job lol.
@@phgamer4393you wouldn’t possibly burn out faster than one of these amazon drivers
IT is a saturated career
500 packages! Lmao😂 I’d clock tf out and go home
100% I would quit on the spot
Most i could do is 300.
I have seen someone get 800 packages once and they accepted it lol
I'm reading these stories that make me back to my Forklift position.😂
id go home not even bothering to clock out at tht point
I love how they gas light you with, "Hey everyone. It's gonna be a heavy day but that's ok because we expected it" No, it's not ok. Figure out a system to deal with the volume THEY Choose to get by design of offering Prime Day. I don't work for them but in this industry, they're all the same. "Hey, it's Christmas. It's all good. We know to expect it'll be heavy. Therefore...there's no problems. Cause we know about it. Now, YOU go do it."
That's not gas lighting, and is actually correct. I work for a shopping TV channel, and we have the same. Our Christmas launch is always extra busy, and we know it. We have more work to do over that week than normal. We know it's coming, it's not a surprise.
@@alloneword7427 yeah but it doesn't make it any easier at least in this case with Amazon. It's just down playing the situation imo. But there is one thing that they'll do when they have high volumes. That is, they'll drop it off at the USPS and UPS lol.
@@Novaximus No you are right in that it doesn't make it easier. Higher work load with the same amount of staff will always be harder for those working there. That is essentially what it's about, trying to make it look like it's fine and it's doable. The fact that 'we' know these times are coming is true, does it make it easier, no, not at all.
In the old days, kids had newspaper delivery routes.
Would be cool if these van drivers could drop at a neighborhood location, and teenagers on bikes do the last 100 yards.
@@ALCRAN2010 lol. Yeah if they want to treat it like a kid job then make it one. I love that.
I’m a dispatcher at a DSP in Florida, if you had that much on our watch, we would have you split your stuff up with extra staffers we employ just to help get routes finished. We operate a little differently, and our retention rate is above 80% because our people love us!
See that was my thought, they really need to set hard cap on the number of packages. Because clearly they are going with the motto "If the packages are getting delivered I don't care how"
Most DSP dont care they want to make as much $ as they can
My DSP used to do that, until they found out that some people are capable of doing so. To the few people that are capable, they ever receive any rescue, but those that aren’t, will always do. This is why there should be a pay raise differential, sadly there isn’t.
@@high4lfye243 the difference is that people who receive rescues more often don’t get scheduled as much, that’s how it balances out
Dont believe a word coming out of an owner or their ass sucking dispatchers mouth. Special place in hell for all Amazon and shady DSP management.
I respect every single person who works at jobs like these. I would never do this, my brother used to work at a fulfillment center and quit.
True. I have been working in Amz FC for 6 months now, and the managers dont even know my name. They treat people like disposable tools. They only act nice to you when they need more VET. The only reason i am still there is because Im currently looking for new jobs and work as flex hours only.
Trust me, you'll never see me work sl8ve w8ge, and work like one.
Pro tip from a fellow drive, ,use a sharpie to mark your overflow with the driver aid number. It makes it sooo much easier. I would quit on the spot if I got 26 bags and 50 overflow lol
Bro you should put your over flow in order when loading your van, It makes it so much easier to grab the boxes, From the phone grab the first over flow by the order sticker and go down the list when loading your van, This trick has saved me so much time delivering the packages rather then digging through the van for 1 package
Very true. I never allow a member on the floor to help load my van. They only worry about getting you out the station. I have to worry about finding my packages quickly while on route.
Unfortunately you get 20 minutes to load everything in the van, sometimes your packages aren’t ready, and by the time you hit the road you don’t really have time to resort everything as it would require removing a good deal of them. It’s actually faster to just dig through it. I put my first few overflow boxes in the front which helps make room
I was so starved for content that I went back and started watching your old FedEx vlogs. Nice to have you back brother!
I gotchu this summer/fall.
Strait up abuse, and these last 10 days have been horrible. 171 stops/331 locations/516 packages and nearly 100 grouped stops that one guy received, is insanity. The fact that Amazon thinks this is ok, let alone doable, is absolutely hilarious.
I’ve been bringing back full totes and overflow most days during the last week or so. The loads are impossible for most, yet they think the majority of people can get them done, with all breaks taken, and 100% safety metrics. And they wonder why the turnover rate is sky high 😂🤣
I will always take my breaks . Especially the heat breaks . I have a goal set for the day . Work 4 hrs of my shift , then pace myself the rest of the day . Like if I have 100 stops , I'm doing 55 . And finding a restroom ! Man ! The struggle is real .... Don't yall be holding it 😂
That ain’t shi quit complaining
Y'ALL SHOULD BE MAKING A LEAST A 100.000 A YEAR THEY ARE TRIPPING GIVING Y'ALL THAT MUCH WORK ALL Y'ALL SHOULD QUIT IF THEY DON'T PAY Y'ALL A HIGH SALARY AMAZON IS TRIPPING Y'ALL WORKERS ARE TO GOOD FOR THEM.
Way too much even for me. 11-12 hour shifts the whole week

I feel you man the burn out is real. That’s how i felt for FedEx ground but I’m glad I pulled through and finished with CDL school back in May and finally left FedEx and started a new trucking job. Keep pushing and start looking for better opportunities
Hey bro are you in Chicago
Respect man. Sometimes I do deliveries where I work and it can take a few hours just to drive the route around the city for ~20 deliveries. Construction, road closures, one-way streets, and nearly zero parking doesn't help. I basically park illegally for probably 75% of them.
Incredibly well shot and edited. This is clearly your calling, even if this isn't your preferred subject matter! Glad to see you back at it and looking forward to whatever's to come!
Shoutout to casey neistat for the inspiration
Thinking about quitting soon too. Hardest part of this job is realizing it's not a career and you have to still think about what career you want. At least at USPS or UPS you can retire off it. This jobs just too much work for not enough pay
USPS its one of the worst my brother
💯
Usps is bad and its getting worse now imagine carrying 6 long cases of mail along with prime weeks packages sounds good still? And you have to wait for a very long time to become a career employee meaning for the first few years your a substitute
@atzuldo3010 I've worked for USPS for 19yrs.
I started off as a carrier for USPS. Did that for 7 years and transferred into the maintenance department and never looked back. I make $42/hr being a maintenance supervisor at a mail sorting facility. Easiest and most chill job ever. It’s crazy how much better it is than carrying mail.
Love your positivity! Keep it up bro your positive outlook on stuff rubs off on other people!
I made it as an Amazon driver in the SF Bay Area for only about 8 months before I had to quit. I gave it my all, and honestly had incredible coworkers and supervisors, but the turnover rate was insane, and switching our routes and service areas completely took me out of it. Still, I got to be Santa to so many people that Christmas, and I'm glad I tried. You guys are the best. To any current Amazon drivers out there, y'all have some serious heart.
Bro its been a month for me and I don't think I will last another week haha delivering in santa cruz
Glad to see you back. If you’re serious about quitting, if I were you I’d quit before Christmas rolls around. Holiday season sucks.
Yeah. Aiming for the end of fall/start of winter. maybe peak finale
@@LaosHousedo they still have the buy out? Id at least wait till the next one man

I quit I few weeks. Now I'm rescue every day . Easy, but still, I find it boring, so more than this I cannot do, there is no other role exept dispacer. Every day in many different places, saving people with different problems but is always the same . I just find a waste of my time, and I don't like that amazon depends so much on people sacrificing for garbage objects
@@robertobonani4631i’ve thought this so much lately. Like you guys have me doing all this work to deliver a t shirt to someone? I wish people would grow a backbone and just quit their dsp’s at the same time. Amazon would be F’D!

yup, had about that last thursday, saturday and sunday. its been terrible

I'm surprised you haven't gotten in trouble for this channel bro. Keep it up and stay strong 💪🏽.
Because nobody gives AF 😂 Firing him will only take him out of his misery and means one less slave they can overwork. They have a very high employee turnover.
all corporations, we are going 3rd world DEI lfg
Everyone knows it's slave labor. And you dont kill slaves for being unhappy. You don't care.
That’s what I was thinking as well
Yeah, recording himself with a selfie stick while driving on the street in a company vehicle. Surprised he still has the job.
Even tho yall knew what yall got yourselves into working at Amazon knowing they don’t have a Union….we still appreciate yall for all the hard work yall put in. I hope everyone working at Amazon uses it as a way to stack up a bit of money to be able to move on to better things because I really don’t see their business model changing anytime soon.
They better not be shocked when drivers can’t finish their routes by the end of the day! Also, all these packages yet you still have to follow the rules because the netradyne camera is wild, Amazon is too much!
I run a DSP for Amazon and anytime a driver doesn’t finish the route or brings back more than 2 packages I get a email wanting to me explain why the route wasn’t completed and then proceed to tell me it’s unacceptable
Running a DSP is unnaceptable. Shame on Amazon. 😂😂😂@@raquanwebb8472
bro im not following no rules. i'll beat my meat in front of the camera idgaf
💯
Yeah ever since they added those cameras in fall 2021, some of us can’t get our stuff done cause Amazon is one of those companies that breaks the “If it ain’t broke don’t fix it” one too many times and it’s so annoying
Yesterday I got 370 packages with 33 stops. 28 bags, 14 overflows. Seeing your van today reminds me when they gave me 555 packages. 35 bags and I believe 40 overflows but only 13 stops. Took me the whole dam day to finish. I don't see myself staying long either. Gotta spend them PTO ASAP!
So exciting to have you back posting and really glad to see you healthy and finding positivity in everything.
Great video brother. I never realized what you guys are tasked with day in day out. High stress job. I was a cop for 30 years mostly working the road. Call to call, always eating on the go, grouchy people, no time to write your reports and always staying late. Hope your next gig works out for you.
0:42 "Remember! Safety first! But still make sure you deliver an unrealistic amount of packages as fast as humanly possible!" - Actual subhuman spouting fake words of encouragement to underpaid workers, 2024
As a FedEx driver of 6 years I'm so glad to be currently working on a career change too something complete opposite what I do now. It has it's fun and enjoyable days but in our huge box trucks they're just ovens. We've been getting 100+ days for 2 weeks now no AC and half my huge truck is 120-150lb boxes. I'm trying too save my body and I know it'll be thanking me for it lol
I joined and quit amazon in the last 6 months. It's strait up abuse. They would do everything in their power to suggest not to take your breaks and consistently talk down to you when your route is incomplete. Respect for sticking it out. Someone needs to sue them!
We all need to sue them, big class action lawsuit, labor violations
You have a choice of quitting and finding another job. If noone works for them, conditions will change. I'm certain some kid in Bangladesh sew their tshirt for a penny a day. These Amazon jobs here aren't meant for guys like this who can speak sound English, young and full of potential. These jobs are meant for new migrants like those Indians that Trudeau invited in Canada.
They process a ton of orders an hour. It's no mystery what to expect before working there
>doesnt realize the irony in his statement @@keithsim2914
Unless you work directly for Amazon, and not mom and pop express llc. Then you will not succeed because your working for a third party contractrd to Amazon, it's the subcontractor that is the issue, they get a lumpsum from Amazon but also have deadlines and a quota to meet. So when they say shit rolls down hill thats what they mean.
I left Amazon last month and I do not miss it at all. 190 stops 400+ packages 70 group stops on an apartment route sending me to 9-12 apt complexes and multiple businesses. The dsp owner and Amazon can kiss my ass. The only thing I miss are my coworkers they were the only thing good about the job.
Same that’s all I miss is the bros.
I get that many stops but they send me in wealthy areas where the stops are spaced out, long driveways, long drive to get to the route to begin with. I’m about to quit if they don’t give me like a $4 raise
Ha! I love how you made sure to get the dog banging on the door in the delivery photo. Also I'm glad there's still some Boston Markets that exist.
I only lasted a month working as an Amazon driver the sheer volume of work they drop on you is insane, I’m lucky I didn’t stick around for the prime day though I’d probably drive the van into the river by the end of it
Prime Week is what ultimately broke me last year. The first day of the following week was particularly annoying (and still at Prime volume) and I was just like "yeah this ain't it anymore".
peak and prime week are the worst time to start.
I missed prime by a week..thankfully..you right..the delivery sequence is crazy..on cul-de-sac..2-4 times and was going in circles
Now imagine delivering in germany... Can't put boxes in front of the door and leave them but ring each door and wait for the people to answer ;D
same here in The Netherlands. yes they ring the bell, but if you don't open your front door in 10 seconds they are in their car lol
stop lying bro amazon always delivers its not PostNL or Colis Prive, plus they leave it at pick up point closeby when u not home
I do know what you are going through. I used to work for Amazon myself. You have my deepest sympathies.
Well sympathy ain't enough. Step into their shoes, and see for yourself?

Are you slow? Did you read his comment at all?@@analyticalhabitrails9857
Thank you Amazon Drivers for delivering to us seniors that can’t always get out to shop.
Did this for a month before quitting. Im a pilot now. As crap as a job as this was, you Amazon drivers have my utmost respect putting up with this job.
I have a lot do respect for you men and woman that do this. Thank you! ❤
WELCOME BACK OMG. just made my whole day 😭
let's go!
Being from NJ I can sympathize with your work day. This is the most densely populated state in the nation and a simple trip to the store is no longer a quick 5 min drive.
THANK YOU Chris and THANK YOU all Amazon drivers for working SOOO hard for us .. May god bless all of you with tonns of wealth one day !!!!
Much respect to delivery drivers. Yes, it's not an easy job. A huge appreciation!
Pro tips for people who want to drive for Amazon:
-Do not obey stop signs
-Do not obey speed limits
-Do not follow delivery instructions (scan it, drop it, and GO!GO!GO!)
-Disable GPS it takes too long to calibrate
-Do not take breaks
-Need to pee? You will not recive travel time allotment to find restrooms. Grab that water bottle you got from the distribution center, go in the cargo hold and press that skjt up to your junk and let it rip. No exceptions for girls.
-Remember it will be ~10° hotter in the cargo area than ambient temperature so if you live in an area with 90-100° weather......good luck not getting heat stroke.
-plan your own routes, bc the meth addict Ai route planner will screw you with frequent tight U-turns, and doubling back on places you already went to.
-Leave your van doors open even if you must jam them, they take too long to open and close hundreds of times
-Spoof the seat belt safety device so you needn't waste time taking it on and off every stop.
-Realize that by following these tips your delivery speed will be...just barely satisfactory...and the algorithm will push you harder the very next day.
If you get 1 violation at my Amazon you getting cut for 4 days let alone run a stop sighn u might be fired we have netrodyne cameras and it's no cheating that system unless cam is off
Hey Chris, I want you to know, I have never once even considered working at Amazon and I don't think I ever will, but when you upload or share apart of your daily experiences I always will watch. It's a bitter sweet feeling to know these amazing videos will be coming to an end soon, but I really appreciate the time and effort you put into doing this. I know it's not easy running a channel while working full time. Thank you a million man.
Yeah man never work for a big corporation they will suck the living soul out of you! I been working for a bit corporation in Canada for about 4 years and it’s not the same since I first join, when I joined it was before Covid so they used to gift us 30$ Tim Hortons card, give us 2k check to spend on stores the company owns, give us free merch, would let us get 3 extra pay vacation for 50$ and give us free carry on bags for groceries and was a decent place now it’s 2024 my last year I’m gunna work there and they don’t give us all the things I mention and now there’s hardly any work going around to the point we barely even work like last week I only worked 30 hrs and week before that was 37 hrs and this week was 33 hrs cuz they been giving us a lot of cut shift due to things breaking down due to being too old, no one is buying product from the stores and not enough work to go around for everyone so I ain’t getting full paid check every time always loosing 250$ each paycheck cuz of cut shift stupid!
Now next year I am thinking of doing trade school we will see
Appreciate the comment. I will always be around to upload whichever/wherever direction this channel goes. You guys are a part of my life 💯
Dude that is crazy!! I am an Amazon driver in the UK & we love prime week . We start earlier, get paid more and our routes are around 10 Bags, 20 Overflow with around 140 Stops/200 Locations.
Prime week & Christmas are the best for us.
Sounds like you've been doing country/rural routes
That prime route is smaller than my first nursery route working for Amazon!
Ex warehouse worker here. It's awful loading that shit. Graveyard shift was the standard, everything was rushed 24/7 and we had an ai deciding how everything is supposed to be stacked on the carts before being loaded into the vans. Deadass had to put a fridge on top of a bunch of small boxes because of it. Would have happily put the fridge on the bottom but the manager intervened before i could undo it due to the "time constraint". Whoever that driver was, I'm sorry you had a whole ass fridge barely balanced at the top of a bunch of mini boxes/bags.
AS A OVER THE ROAD TRUCK DRIVER .. THANK YOU.. STAY HYDRATED OUT THERE..🙏🙏 NEVER APOLOGIES FOR TAKING CHARGE OF YOUR OWN LIFE AND PIVOTING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.. GOOD ON YA MATE KEEP IT UP 😊
Seeing these videos makes me feel bad for buying off from Amazon.
Ikr! But i do order small.
@@mikem2055 The worst kind of customer... Drivers would rather deliver 20 large boxes to three addresses than 20 small envelopes to 20 seperate addresses. It is soul-destroying going to the same address 4 or 5 times a week with small packets, when the customer could choose to have all parcels arrive on one day, only making one trip.
It shouldn’t, but honestly all amazon drivers should quit. They just want suckers they can underpay and overwork. It COULD be a reasonable job, but it just isn’t.
I’m a packer in the fulfillment center. We been doing 5/12 for almost 2 months now. I said fuck this and took a leave this week
What does 5/12 mean? Thanks
It was definitely worse in the warehouse than a driver for prime day. That's saying something
@@javierdelao8115 I think 5 days/ 12 hours a week
Just use your PTO or UPT to leave an hour early like its a regular day you Pillock.
@@LaosHouseI'm pretty sure he means 5 12 hour days. Don't see why you would take a leave working 2.5 hours a day 😂
I worked for a DSP from September of last year through Januaray. Prime Day, Black Friday and Peak. I stuck it out for the overtime but can comfortably say this it was far and away the worst job I've ever had and I'm happy that I had a fall back that allowed me to quit the second I got scheduled a 30 hour week. From ant infested vans to vans with shit smeared on the walls to even finding a used tampon. Then they started making us follow engine off compliance and it was a complete gamble weather or not that van would turn back on because they just refused to change the batteries in them. I knew Amazon was dog shit from the years I worked in the warehouse but I thought it'd be different considering it was a DSP. But no, Amazon still has a stranglehold on every aspect of the job to where you're just an Amazon employee that they don't have to take responsibility for it something happens to you. Dog shit company, dog shit job. Get as far away as you can.
imagine you guys BUSTING A$$ while the COO is somewhere probably in France (Olympics) being entertained, while you guys did the best you could...
@@Waynes-xt9gr 😅😂
I have a newfound respect for you guys who deliverer, plus many who'd go out of your way to do your best to satisfy. Looks very stressful too. God bless all you people doing this.
main reason I quit Amazon was bc of the insane amount of packages they expect you to deliver. I can find a better job for about the same pay
Yes. Bc every company out there is Amazon 😂
At least you guys got the fancy new electric vans, and have a nice and clean warehouse to be in during morning briefings and loading. My DSP had old dirty vans, half of em the side door didn't work properly, the driver seat cushions damaged or missing the cushionings, food crumbs and small trash all over the dashboard, and some of the vans' AC doesn't work, or work well. Not that it mattered since with the gas vans you are also technically suppose to turn off the van at every stop and take the keys with you, giving the AC no chance to actually cool the front seats before you reach the next stop anyway during summer heat. We also did our morning gathering and prep talks out in an open parking lot with no shades, and loaded our vans out in the open sun instead of in the warehouse, real fun during the summer.
I feel the pain man, I’m going on year 3 of this and honestly this might be my last year at Amazon as well cause this isn’t the life
yep life is long and sometimes we need change
I work with a contractor for FedEx and we have designated routes if youre good enough to have them. In my honest opinion, the worst culprit of these really heavy days is NOT the corporations, rather the customers. I deliver A LOT of Walmart, Target, Home Depot, etc. when there is literally a store within 10 minutes of their house. People have become so consumed with pressing order on their app that they dont understand how those packages are getting there. This summer has been one of the most brutal times ever, even during Christmas peak from last year. The amount of furniture and all around goods is staggering. Last year summer averaged around 135-145 stops (200pkgs). I have not had a day below 165 (250 pkgs) in the past month, it is exhausting. If this reaches anybody, please take that extra minute to ask yourself, " do I NEED to order this, or can I go to a nearby store to pick it up?" It will save everyone in the long term. Also if you order heavy furniture, please be ok with it being at the edge of your driveway, we did not order it and we are not going to risk a hernia just so you dont have to carry it. Thank you Chris for showing not what just an Amazon driver goes through, but a pkg delivery driver in general.
Since it’s less likely that customers will start ordering less, the real solution is for these jobs to compensate workers fairly. They should be paying double
I was like you. I worked for a medical supply company. I was there for 3 years and got burnt out after my 3rd. At the beginning it was very rewarding delivering medical supplies to doctors offices, but it started to take a toll on me. Luckily we didn't get worked to death like Amazon, but I had my fair share of late nights. Perks of it were weekends off and holidays too. I got into Real Estate full time. you'll find something.
I'm from Houston TX.My biggest was 452 packages total. Because of Hurricane Beryl and prime together it's insane. My heaviest day was 29 totes an 42 overflow. 452 packages. First stop drop at 10:45 finished at 6:34. Then did a rescue an rts'ed at 8:32.
Youre as fast as my boy Chrisner
How much did dps pay in Texas? I might move there soon
Bro yall the reason why they think everybody can do these big ass loads
He’s back!
we back!
@@LaosHouse you never replied to my youtube comment why?
@@LaosHousegood to see
As a FedEx driver going in 4 years Im also a foot out the door. Heat wave and volume is high. Only thing that would keep me longer here is a higher pay.
Is FedEx better than Amazon? I've been told it is
@@jasonnothingatall53i’ve worked for both i can tell u the pros and cons of each. amazon smaller/lighter packages. fedex paid by the day usually more $ but very possible to lift very heavy boxes
@@jasonnothingatall53probably slightly less shitty, which means still shitty. If you like delivery then do USPS or CDL.
I never really saw a change in that week, little increase in the week after, like over flow....😅
I feel you 100% on the Amazon life Chris.
We where just taking about you the other day... Miss you over at DJZ2.
Enjoy every sun set!
I quit the day my baby was born.Gave em the van,went home,and stayed the night in the hospital.
Hey Chris!.Great to see another upload from you!.🤗😎
Good to see you guys
Bro they wild out on ya over there...I'm in the Bronx delivering on prime week and the most I got was 212 packages and 61 stops.
Jeff bozos needs to go undercover boss to see how hard this job is. I feel ya man. ❤from California
Lol that bald headed freak does not give a single care. He would make us work for free if he could
The addresses next to each other to be different stops is that so you don't have the truck stuck in one point for too long, avoiding eventual tickets and from blocking traffic for too long.
I appreciate all the Amazon drivers!
Customers usually pay Prime membership and people who don't have prime pay for shipping, Amazon themselves don't really care about the drivers they want the packages get delivered on time.
Likewise drivers don't give a toss about cuntomers or their relationship with Amazon. They want to get all parcels delivered and get home safely without the daily threats of losing their job.
@@jamesjrovira I agree but you got know how to play game right, also have a back up plan in case you lose your job
Listening to passion fruit while cruising never fails.
I seems fun before you work there cuz you don’t realize most overflow are a heavy 42 pound and really wide boxes and you gotta take all of them out one by one to get some little ass box then put it all back in one by one, dripping sweat in the summer heat for hours (idk why like day is in the summer) just so your dispatcher can tell you you’re an hour or two behind like no shit I’m behind😂 I have so much to say about this job. This is my last week working here
I feel you bro. People need to band together to demand more. Amazon is more than capable of paying people what they’re worth. Disgusting honestly
I honestly think that most people don't appreciate how easy it is to get their products nowadays with online retailers like Amazon. Its because of the people like the drivers that deserve more appreciation for the hard work they put in.
I know at 61 with mobility issues, I do appreciate being able to do online orders & save my pains for grocery shopping & quick, small stores. Especially ordering heavier items, delivery is much appreciated.
@@pinkfreud62yeah well very few people actually show appreciation for drivers. Certainly not the employers
Thanks for showing what it’s like from your angle. I was really anxious and stressed over a package coming on time. This helped me chill out a lot!
Dude I could've told you this years ago. I quit Amazon back in either 2020/21 (its been so long that I can't remember anymore). However I used to work in my local warehouse and it got so bad that the higher ups said that if you don't get the vaccine, then you're required to keep the mask on (I'm sure that policy was rescinded at some point then because almost no one wears masks anymore). Anyways Amazon just goes for straight profit and has NEVER once cared for any of their employees. However it took me years to realize this and the recent employee strike is just another evidence of it.
No surprise to me that amazon was fully complicit with tyrannical covid measures. Horrible company, I’m honestly disappointed in myself that I even took this job. I’m leaving VERY soon
I know that look bro, it’s your time 😂 I’m on my way out too
Aren’t Amazon’s fireing delivery drivers who makes RUclips videos about their work? It’s against their rules or code of conduct.
Since he’s technically working for a DSP, it really depends on THAT company’s rules.
@@GrimTravelsreal. I used to be with a chill dsp. The owner thought it was cool asf that is made videos. Get to detail a brand new edv. I put a really good ceramic coating it. Shit looks spankin
This is absolutely insane. Been working for two years and never seen more than 400 yet.
imagine how much easier the job would be if there was two people per van, one driving and one getting out to deliver the packages. and they rotate halfway through the shift. Amazon totally has the money to afford it. Would reduce so much stress and delays
fuq that lower the amount of stops and packages and take away multi stops and we wont even complain about the pay anymore 😂
@@vibewithliyahatb8309 that too. Yes. either or would be a start
I quit weeks ago, fuck Amazon shit be slavery fr
I’m about to quit too. I’ll give them an opportunity to give me a healthy raise first, since they constantly talk about how I’m at a good pace. And they give me BS routes and 170 stops on average. I would not miss this job and will never recommend it to anyone. When I do quit, I will encourage others to do so.
Yay!!! My fellow Lao dude is back!
sabaidee bro
You just tossing them packages in that van dayummm
Zero regard
I used to work at an amazon distribution center (where drivers pick up their packages for those who don't know) and for the most part it was a really good experience. I made a lot of friends and got to learn a lot while I was there. The holiday season was the best because we had more than enough people to sort all the packages, and you had the option to go home if you wanted to basically every day (which I rarely did). It was still a lot of hard work and things didn't always go so smoothy, but it was fulfilling work. After the new year a lot of the seasonal empoloyees got laid off and they started giving us mandatory overtime because they didn't have enough people. I was ok with it at first and I thought that working 50 hour weeks would be temporary, but after so many weeks I couldn't take it anymore and had to quit. That was the turning point for me and it seems like this Prime week was a turning point for you. Ten hours shifts are not easy and with how hard they work you at Amazon it's not a sustainable amount of work. It catches up to everyone. How long you were able to last in that environment shows how hard of a worker you are, and I wish you the best for whatever you decide to do in the future!
The Deleon Family appreciates all of you!!! Howdy from Texas ❤❤❤ Bless you all. You guys bring us our medications!!!
I literally quit a few days ago because of prime week. #fuckamazon
You gotta load your van way better than that, in a way that makes sense to you. I delivered before the blue vans existed 😭🤣
Hes Back!
Bless you man! Wishing you all the best and good luck with the channel I know being a small youtuber can be though to get off!
I'm still an amazon driver and i can tell you it can be rough at times but never push yourself hard to work...because when i told myself to work harder on one day, I ended up tripping over a tote bag (i know it was dumb of me to making it easier) and fracturing my left knee patella. I've been in recovery after surgery for about 4 months now since April and even my work comp doctor was telling me I should start looking for another job instead of going back to Amazon. Part of me wants to quit but I'm loving the benefits that i'm receiving and worker's comp is paying my bills.
my man seems so done with that job
time is running out
@@LaosHouseyou clearly work there still, take the jump dude, you deserve more. The reason they get away with paying people shit and overworking us is because people PUT UP with it. I’m a driver currently and I will be making a wage increase demand next week or I’m done. Too many jobs out there that are easier on your body and mind, and pay better. Good luck. Don’t be afraid to take risks.
