    Some nice editing and music mixed-in. Really revealing of your strategies and how Amazon and the DSP have set-up your tote bag and overflow packages. I don't think I could ever do a job like this, so much organizing and physical activity all day every day. Loved your hyper-speed van packing and on the deliveries you edited toward the end of your video. Thanks for taking me along on your day.

Last week I did Elsberry, MO all week and Saturday like you did in this video I also did a 17 stop rescue in Troy, MO but thankfully those were in a couple of subdivisions and wasn’t spread out as much

    Lemme ask you a question. Does your DSP demand that your do the first sort zone, or first bag of stops first? (#1-#20) I hate the country at night, so my strategy is to do the later country stops *first* so I don't get stuck out there at night. I've been told splitting your route can actually cost you more time, *but* if your route has a circular shape, then it really doesn't matter where you start, as you'll end in the same area.

    • @KPNation2
      @KPNation2  Год назад +2

      Haha I know what you mean!! And I would do the same thing. At one point, they did have everyone go exactly in order of how they were routed, but I’m not sure what they do now as I don’t work for them anymore. :) But I totally agree with you! 😁 thanks for watching, I appreciate the support.

      My dsp says to follow the routing but Amazon is so bad at putting stops together I don’t follow it when it doesn’t make sense especially if business are later than stop 100 and I know I won’t get there before close I go to those when I’m closest and if they send me to the country at night and city during the day if it’s winter I reverse the order because you can’t see shit at night on the windy dirt roads

Having no drinks and packages not in an open bag is your friend. We also would drop and pic take , the customer would follow on an app , seeing us on our way to their door .

    I don’t know if you’re still driving, but to prevent any hits on Ementor, I shut the Ementor phone off completely, after I sign in. That’s the only way I keep a perfect 850 score. I’d check with your DSP or Leads before doing this though.

      @KPNation2  2 года назад

      Thanks. I’m not driving anymore. But we used tablets for the ementor to track our driving and I also did this before there were cameras in the vans. I don’t know if you’re actually supposed to turn your phone off when using ementor cause I don’t know if that will actually track it the way it’s supposed to. So I would ask your DSP if your supposed to do that. Maybe you already did. Haha but anyways, thanks for the view and comment :)

    i used to work at amazon. hated the country just cause the dogs. got attacked by a bull mastiff my leg healed quite well but damn i’ll never forget that when he locked into my calf and i was screaming bloody murder. dude got him off with his shock collar. i love dogs too
    imma be honest i don’t follow any of the training amazon does and i worked there for 2 years and would be first to get back to the lot often. honestly
    take all that training from amazon and throw it out the window.
    obviously if it works for you keep doing it.
    in terms of the totes it’ll go by order on the phone so it’ll have the last digits for the totes and that’s how you’ll go in order. they could be disorganized on the. cart but go by the device and the orders of the codes. then take i like to do what i call a train method and i take each tote and push it to the back and keep doing that until i have a train out of my van and then i just take ‘em up one by one inside the van and load it all up together.
    in terms of boxes i didn’t even bother organizing those except by size. that’s all you really need. and what i make sure too is all the labels are facing up so that way i can just turn around and look without having to move anything i put the boxes on top of eachother to where all the labels are still visible not upside down or facing a wall so i can just look and only move and grab what i need to. i put small boxes towards the front and big boxes towards the back.
    also take all that stuff in your tote…and dump it all into the front passenger seat.
    envelopes go in the middle. large boxes on floor. small boxes on seat. so that way you can just stay in your seat turn and look for a name and get out. no getting up and searching through a tote cause it’ll tell you what to look for. small box. big box. envelope. idk why amazon teaches us to organize a certain way. i’ve always just tossed it in and it’s way faster that way. you waste so much time organizing by numbers or whatever their method is now. and with peak just put all the totes up against the door make sure the tote you’re gonna do first is the one stacked on top and in the middle so you can just turn around and grab what you need. then you can collapse the tote and walk through to get a small box or go to the back where the big boxes are and then you can go from there so you’re not having to climb over stuff.

    What do you do if the box is too heavy to carry to someone’s door? Does that happen? Do u have a dolly? I’m a breast cancer survivor and can have trouble lifting very heavy things.. would they still let me drive? How heavy are the bags you have to lift into your van? Have you ever not been able to get one in or do you just unpack it and put bag in van then throw packages back in?.. I’m afraid I won’t be able to life the filled bags in the vans.. any suggestions? Also do your vans have the cameras in them now that record everything?

    • @KPNation2
      @KPNation2  3 года назад

      The heaviest package is no more than 50 lbs. So it’s never been a problem for me. Some people have multiple heavy packages they ordered, and I’d have to take a few trips. Most of the vans have a dolly but not all of them. You could definitely request to be in a van that has a dolly though. :) the bags you have to lift into the van can be pretty heavy! But you wouldn’t be able to unpack it and then repack it, because we only have 15 minutes to load our van.

    Question, how early can you start your route ? And also are you allowed to use AirPods while driving for example have one airpod in playing a podcast while delivering to make time go by faster ?

    • @KPNation2
      @KPNation2  2 года назад

      All dsp’s start at different times. So, it just depends on your stations start times and stuff. My DSP loads around 10:45am, so you’re starting your first delivery between 11-11:30am most likely, since all of our routes aren’t too far away. But that also could depend on how far you have to drive to get to the area you will be delivering because some DSP’s have to drive farther. As far as airpods, yes you should be able to do that. I did that with some Bluetooth headphones I have, just one piece in. As long as it’s not slowing you down, you should be good (which if you were like me, it would actually help me get in the groove and move faster. Haha).

    hi karissa, i also started working with amazon DSP about couple months ago. My routes have mostly been countryside and some suburban, and once i got to standard routes, it was a bit of struggle to finish them before it got dark. For the countryside houses with open gates, do you often drive into their driveways to deliver to front? and how do you squeeze in a break time to eat and such? I haven't really taken a break during my shifts and only did so for short time to stop at a gas station on the way to use restroom and such.

    • @KPNation2
      @KPNation2  2 года назад

      Oh nice! Yeah, depending on when it gets dark and how big the route is it can be hard to finish before then. But you can get a nice head lamp that will really help you out when you do have to deliver in the dark :)
      It depends on how the driveway is. If it is really long, yes I will definitely pull into it! Even if it isn’t that long, as long as their is space enough to turn around, I will pull into it to deliver to the front door unless the customer notes says otherwise. :)
      In regards to taking a lunch, that’s kind of up to you. Everyone is different. I like waiting until the end of my route to take my lunch anyways (besides a couple of pit stops through out like you mentioned). I’ll usually snack as I’m delivering or even eat food I brought with me as I continue on my route. But if you feel like you need to take a break, you should definitely do so! :) You should be able to finish your route even with a lunch break in there. Speed and efficiency will come with time-keep at it!

    • @hision97

      @@KPNation2 thanks for your tip! yes my dispatch told me to use the driveway for the countryside houses unless customer says to leave it at the gate, if the gate is closed, or if it's muddy. Tbh i think that using the driveways for those types of houses are often faster than just running to and back. I often just ate on the way to my first route since it's often about good 20-30 min drive to there from the warehouse. Yes i always make sure to bring plenty of snacks and waters. I'll consider taking lunch break again once i get more hang out getting faster with standard routes.To get faster, i put packages in the center aisle and passenger seat, so i can just grab and go instead of going to the back and getting out through sliding on a lot of stops. Another thing, my DSP does not want us out when it gets dark, and I'm not fan of delivering in the nighttime either bc of lack of lighting on country routes. I'll want to use one of those flashlight that goes on my head next time i have to deliver in the dark for sure. :)

      Yeah, not all routes are spread out like the old one I had in the video. We also get big routes with those numbers. But I don’t mind them as long as they are just neighborhood stops. :) thanks for the comment!

      I know… some people just don’t care no matter how hard we try. 🥺 I go to a gas station or grocery store nearby and use the restroom. lol

    Im assuming the app tells you what totes/bags to take from the other driver, also do they get notified your arriving?

    • @KPNation2
      @KPNation2  3 года назад +3

      No, the app doesn't tell you which bags to take. My dsp dispatch will usually tell me how many bags to take or just say to take what I feel comfortable with. So I'll usually check with the driver and see how much they have left, and then decide. But you usually will take their last bags (end of the route) which yes, the app will tell you. Also, no they are not notified that you are arriving. :) Thanks for the questions!

    How do you handle the outside of delivery area issue? That's been a pain in my first 2 shifts

    • @KPNation2
      @KPNation2  2 года назад +3

      If you put the phone into airplane mode and then turn Bluetooth back on, it should allow you to make the delivery even if the pin is in the wrong location. Only do this though if you know for sure you are at the right delivery location, and make sure to turn airplane mode back off once you are done! :) I hope this helps, let me know if it works. ☺️
