Why does everyone need credit now a days? I'm a volunteer EMT who does not get paid and I don't look for credit/thank you's yet I work in all sorts of weather and in all sorts of emergencies. He's getting paid to do a job he chose to do. Credit is only due when you go above and beyond your job because going above and beyond is not part of your job title.
@@CookieSlinger that’s my opinion. I know he wasn’t looking for it. Just based on what he was talking about , I can’t imagine doing that line of work in a daily basis. Why you hating that I’m giving him and Amazon drivers credit?
no one gets enough credit lol i work for my local town doing sewer water and roads everyone just bitches yet i work 100s of hours of overtime a year plowing roads and maintaining sewer lift stations and fixing water main breaks all this can happen during crazy storms cold weather super hot i get called at 2 in the morning to go pull a lift station pump covered in shit and have to fix it... yet local people to my town just complain on the village page over the tiny little thing lol not really complaining i mean i do get paid but its just funny that those same people will talk about how hard the bigby girls work yet in the same week complain about the village workers....
What a difference to deliveries in Germany! It's very rare for an Amazon parcel to be left on our doorstep. It is either left with the recipient or a neighbor or dropped in the letterbox.
I always have a massive amount of respect for all deliveries workers. Amazon, Post Office, Truckers, Food, you name it. Lots of people rely on them for their daily meals, meds, and wants.
As a mail guy, I recommend nitrile gloves/latex gloves as a base, they work better then anything and still being able to go through mail so will be good for packages too, and fly fishing gloves if its really cold, check em out!
Just got hired at Amazon a month ago and your videos inspire me to go hard ! Keep up the good work bro ! My dsp is chill and pays me 22 an hour so my checks come out awesome lol
I only recently started doordashing for couple hours per day as an upcoming high school graduate and now I kinda realize how much respect people like you deserve. Delivering so much for so long is pretty stressful to say the least
your videos are a breath of fresh air. I hope most people would kindly leave snacks by the doors for the wonderful people who delivers what we order. you deserve a HELLL YEAHHH!!!!!!
One big drawback to the EDV is that driving faster on the highway drains the battery faster, and the heating also takes away range. My DSP is pretty good about switching my route in the country for a route in the city so that I can stay in the EDV, and the step van driver can have an easy day. Even though I get put in the city, I still have a bit of a commute to make on the highway. I just stay on the service road or a boulevard heading the same direction. Saves me about 50 miles
I was a delivery driver for office depot back in the day. we had to use thomas guides and sticky notes on the corners of the pages to where our route was going and where we need to go.
Super Rural zone for me - Amazon Flex. During a recent storm 4 hour blocks were going for $180, and *nobody* took them. That should say enough about how Super Rural zones are handled here! The station never closes even when multiple roads are closed, but the Flex drivers here have learned the hard way that it's not worth wrecking one's car or getting stuck for hours for any money! Especially since we still get punished for returned packages!
As a van driver you flex guys don’t get enough credit, it’s super sketchy driving personal cars since everyone nowadays are so quick to violence on anyone trespassing and lots of people don’t even know what flex is yet. Stay safe if your still doin it bro
@@saxo7667 True, but if a DSP ever took over, I honestly don't see how any of the step vans could make it on these roads. UPS out here has a special rigged up 4x4 truck with a tall container on the back of it - very funky [recently got a pic of one], and their step vans only deliver to places they've already "blessed" as safe. There's a lot of places where residents have to go into town to the UPS Store to pick up their packages because their vehicles simply can't make it. That said, Southern Hostility is definitely reserved for us Flex drivers. Our station recently gave out giant magnets that say Amazon Flex on them. I use 6 magnets that say Deliver Driver on them as nobody here has a clue what Flex means and having our "unmarked" cars drive the 1/4 mile up their driveway w/o cell service and off leash dogs and owners coming out with side arms, is always an interesting experience. I even bought - on eBay! - an Amazon DSP ball cap that matches the DSP/Flex vests we wear. I have my blinkers on when I'm coming up onto their property...everyone just assumes the worst. :(
As an Amazon customer. I really appreciate your video. I always wanted to say that i thank you each and everyone of you for the hard work that you do and to all of those around the world no matter where you are i hope your customers also appriciate your hard work along with Amazon.
I know you probably hear this a lot but because of this channel, im going for this job. Need a job where I can be independent and rely on myself. I know it wont be easy but these vids really motivate me. Interview is next week, hopefully I get the job. Cheers brotha.
I know I'm from the northern tip of Illinois but our district policy only if there another hazard other than the snow and the roads are not clears, we can have a foot of snow and still have school, but a state of emergency is wild.
yeah I'm a rural driver and its pretty brutal, having to back down a dirt road for like half a mile for every stop is pretty annoying but it gets insane at night trying to back up and having no visibility, the countryside is another kind of dark. plus were in rental vans they most don't even have working break lights or reverse lights so there isnt any light coming from the back and is next to imposable to see
dang i cant believe u stuck it out this long. My dispatcher said the avg driver lasts 6months. Great content, man. I could never eat on my route just fluids so i'm always amazed how much u can put away and still be fit😄safe travels Chris
I'm going on 2.5 years now. It definitely sucks sometimes but it beats standing in a warehouse for 12 hours, which is pretty much the other options in my area.
@@CookieSlinger This isn't at all easy work either....? Just because its not straight up manual labor it doesn't mean its not hard work lmao you sound so stupid. If I had to guess you must have a minimum wage paying blue collar job and this is how you take your frustration out. Be a better person and maybe you'll enjoy your life a little more.
Watching this after having to end my route early today (2nd day in the Rivian) for 5 inches of snow while 8 degrees in Ohio. Winter is NO joke. Great video.
I dunno why this came up on my front page, but this was relaxing to watch. Of course, be safe out there! If the snow seems too thick or im just not sure if theres ice, i crouch down like an old person, really helps with my balance!
Used to work at two Amazon locations in Logan Township, NJ, was promoted as a Quality Assurance accociate and yes it was during the holidays, awesome pay but its brutal naturally we were understaffed and the influx of new employees makinf mistakes, I remember one customer got like a 50 inch TV which they didny buy but hey unless they gave it back Happy Holidays to them hahahaha , mad respect for what you do ^^😄😄😄😄
watched a couple of your videos tonight and HAD to subscribe. Love the content, love the work you do and I'm sure I speak for many when I say your work is appreciated and thank you! Keep up the good work and amazing content!
Cool video, it's still funny to see how others cope in these weather conditions. For us it's not just 1 inch of snow but 40 and its a normal day for us. The slippery stairs are not a problem for us because the owner of the house has to ensure that the paths in his house are de-iced. The city has to do everything else like sidewalks. If you are injured, you can sue for damages.
Dang, I used to live in New Jersey most of my life and its sad to hear them declare a state of emergency for such little snow. Back in the day it would take at least 6-8 inches before the schools were like "meh, maybe a 2 hour delay I guess" and for businesses to be like "maybe dont come in today or at least be careful on the way here"
Its because of Murphy and his incompetence on Nov. 15, 2018. One cannot overstate just how ridiculous that was. We had warnings for a snowstorm, Murphy wanted to save on the budget and was gambling the snow storm wouldn't come. He told all salts and plows to stay off the road over night. Come morning it was clear by the snow in NY/CT/MA north NJ was going to get hit hard. Murphy still had stand down order and did not authorize emergency vehicles to treat the roads. He did not give them the authorization until close to 12 pm. By that time it was way too late and was one of the worst storms for accidents we had ever seen. Peak snowfall wasn't even 6 inches. Why did Murphy not give an order until nearly 12 pm? He was out partying like it was NYE on November 14th, 2018 in AC and hung over. Now he is as quick as can be to declare state of emergencies.
New upload from the 🐐 lets go. Could feel your disappointment at the lack of snow lol. It's snowy here too. At least it wasn't raining! 6:43 - Funny you mention that. All drivers are different and I love being out in the middle of nowhere in tough conditions. I get the AWD van and basically drive through the forest 30+ mins from the station. Those are the fun days 🤙
Great working experience, your working environment is much more relaxed than most developing countries, comfortable working environment, work vehicle, clear house number. No stairs, no phone calls. It's important to be born in a free and relaxed country. It will make your life a lot easier and happier. Born in China, you will suffer a lot.
You should add a pair of YakTrax to your gear. They really help in the snow and ice. As security, we have to wear them around our sites and they really help a bunch.
Very different delivery method to Europe - here the delivery men always ring the doorbell and hand it over in person. Signatures are not always required, but very rarely is the parcel left on the doorsteps. If noone is home, then usually the package is dropped off at the nearest postal office and a note is left to the owner to go and pick it up.
I would prefer this. I hate having signature required package delivery attempts when I'm at work. Then they try again the next day...at the exact same time of day.
The biggest reason why delivery drivers in the US struggle in snowy conditions is because of the lack of Winter tires on their vehicles. I live in Norway and right now we have gotten 1.5m of snow to even 2m in some places of the country. I delivered mail and packages for about 2 years and the winter definitely had its beat on me. Luckily for me we had to use our personal cars which meant I had good tires for the conditions so it didn’t really suck to drive and have gotten through everything. ( I use studded winter tires on my 4wd Audi ) Sooo when I heard you say 3 inches and state of emergency, I thought it was a joke in the start 😅 maybe that is something the US could improve on and take from us European countries. Either way, this was definitely an interesting video. Keep up the good work!
It is inspiring to see people who truly love what they do, since finding a job that you love and that fulfills your passion can be a lengthy process, and sometimes you don't find it. The more passionate you are about what you do, the more likely you are to succeed.
Ay Chris I try to watch when I can! I work for the Cleveland station and man I'm surprised they still had us deliver, I'm just glad I wasn't stuck on a rural route!
Is so nice the Rivian delivery trucks are so quiet....we get a lot of deliveries at our condos. And its noticable how nice the lack of noise is with the EV's coming into our neightborhood.
Watching from the UK as a delivery driver, I can't believe you can just dump the packages on someone's porch/front door take a pic and that's it "delivered", without knocking on the customers door and hand them the parcel. No wonder so many porch pirates steal packages, you are literally leaving it for ANYONE to take, HOW is this a secure delivery????
So that snowstorm today made me think of this.. I'm excited for the new video testing the Rivian if you were planning to make one. Great content as always 😀
I used to work as a delivery driver in the city. Black fridays and christmas time was the worst. Wasn't always enojyable running 10 flights of stairs hauling anywhere from 1 to 200 pounds 8 hours a day with my socks wet. 10 inches of snow outside. It was mad. Delivering to suburbs was chill though. At least I didn't have to go to the gym afterwards.
Thanks for answering the signature on the video. I am working in KC Kansas and Missouri area and the EDVs won’t last longer than 4 hours so we are back to using the Cargo vans. Country routes are terrible right now.
A lot of snow came down on Friday the 12th here in MI and we were all called back to the station at 5. Much of that snow is still on the ground, people are just not bothering with their walkways.
What's great about deliveries in the US is, you don't wait for anyone to "receive" the package. You just drop and go. And you can even double park? Holy cow. If it were me, I'd be done with the truckload in half a day.
@LaosHouse We ended the cheesy tots the Sunday before last man. So sad because they were my favorite item. They might be back around next year, you'll see. I would also like to say that the customer service looked like it went well, it would've been how I was trained but I would have made friendlier conversation. Have a great time man, glad the snow's gone!
Whats up Chris, haven't seen any new videos from you in a while. Are we going to see any new content from you soon? Thank you for all of the content that you have provided!!! Been a sub for almost a year!!!!
I don't know if it's just me, but I've been noticing that working conditions at Amazon have been on an incline since late last year. I have several friends that started to work there in the never-ending job-hopping adventure, and they're genuinely happy. One of them is taking it so seriously that he's trying to work his way up the robotics division out in Nevada. He was changed over from being a chutes guy to an engineer and even got to name one of the lil pallet bots. He called it "Tiny Cat"
Warehouse workers are direct employees. DSPs - driver associates are subcontractor jobs But, I'm glad your peeps are taking advantage of the internal benefits
I have an idea for your company, they should add like 2 people one is the driver and the other is the delivery guy so it would be much more faster besides being solo
It's been freezing out lately ❄ Stay warm out there everyone 🔥

Your lying Amazon deliveries ONLY leave the package without even trying to ring the bell!
In Sweden they often leave you to collect it at nearby shops and grocery stores
Usually they get thrown or kicked at the front door and then they get praised for doing so
Also hier bei uns werden die Pakete mittlerweile auch einfach vor der Tür abgelegt. Es wird zwar geklingelt, aber der Bote geht dann auch direkt 🤷♂

Watching from the UK as a delivery driver, I can't believe you can just dump the packages on someone's porch/front door take a pic and that's it "delivered", without knocking on the customers door and hand them the parcel.
No wonder so many porch pirates steal packages, you are literally leaving it for ANYONE to take, HOW is this a secure delivery????
ameridumbs living up to the name!
Porch delivery is an option if your neighborhood is safe, otherwise get it delivered at an Amazon drop off point.
7:02 wow i love that POV shot
i miss ur vids man wya!!!
the songs give it that christmas vibe! this my fav ep already and im in the beginning lol
I feel bad for people who work at Amazon in the snow
So that snowstorm today made me think of this.. I'm excited for the new video testing the Rivian if you were planning to make one. Great content as always 😀
Hope you Will be back soon
dude this vid was honestly so good and i wish you the best man. thanks for the entertainment
Did amazon put the kibosh on the videos and silence you? They can be nasty
You're the man 🔥
Hope you're doing okay its been awhile since you posted 🙏🏻
The way he checked that toilet like he unlocked a new point of interest 😂
Where did bro go? 😢
Here for the same reason… favorite RUclipsr to pass the time.
yup no idea was wondering same question
hope he is ok
I used to work as a delivery driver in the city. Black fridays and christmas time was the worst. Wasn't always enojyable running 10 flights of stairs hauling anywhere from 1 to 200 pounds 8 hours a day with my socks wet. 10 inches of snow outside. It was mad. Delivering to suburbs was chill though. At least I didn't have to go to the gym afterwards.
We missed you bro 🙁 comeback pls ❤️🙂
Lol 1-3 inches of snow being an emergency. That makes me chuckle as a Minnesotan. That's a typical winter day for us.
You still workin' for a DSP or nah?
Thanks for answering the signature on the video. I am working in KC Kansas and Missouri area and the EDVs won’t last longer than 4 hours so we are back to using the Cargo vans. Country routes are terrible right now.
that's unfortunate. The EDV's are a treat to drive
Laughs in Canadian. Good video. They say if you love your job you'll never work a day.
A lot of snow came down on Friday the 12th here in MI and we were all called back to the station at 5. Much of that snow is still on the ground, people are just not bothering with their walkways.
It's been a while since we had a lot of snow fall down.
whos watching in august 2024 👇😂
ME
Wooow its very nice, thats it an electric delivery car ! this is awesome, greetings from Hungary / Europe :) cool video
Where have you been been three months?😢
What's great about deliveries in the US is, you don't wait for anyone to "receive" the package. You just drop and go. And you can even double park? Holy cow. If it were me, I'd be done with the truckload in half a day.
Where are you bro? Miss the vids
I don't know why I'm watching someone work while I sit in front my my PC working lol
"teslas are dying and the tesla chargers dont work" lmao bit of an exaggeration, cool video!
yeah they aren't dying at all. It was just a subset of low quality chargers. Nothing to do with electric itself, just the quality
@LaosHouse We ended the cheesy tots the Sunday before last man. So sad because they were my favorite item. They might be back around next year, you'll see. I would also like to say that the customer service looked like it went well, it would've been how I was trained but I would have made friendlier conversation. Have a great time man, glad the snow's gone!
hey man miss your video are you allright
6:54 they're front wheel drive, so I would back up the driveway if you are slipping going up
yo bro where are you ?
I love this electric because it shows you the direction what house first to deliver and nice content btw from Toronto
14:36 do it
I was an Amazon driver for a few. If you’re in the same shoes.. find a real career don’t get stuck in that comfortable life fellas!
You’ve abandoned us 😢
Whats up Chris, haven't seen any new videos from you in a while. Are we going to see any new content from you soon? Thank you for all of the content that you have provided!!! Been a sub for almost a year!!!!
There could be an F-5 tornado going on outside and Amazon would make y’all deliver still 😂
They had people delivering during Hurricane Nicole here in Florida. It might have been Flex drivers only, but unsafe regardless.
@@botld92z and they’re all about safety 🤣🤣
At FedEx, I delivered thru 2 major hurricanes in NJ... State Trooper said go home when he saw me😅
I don't know if it's just me, but I've been noticing that working conditions at Amazon have been on an incline since late last year. I have several friends that started to work there in the never-ending job-hopping adventure, and they're genuinely happy. One of them is taking it so seriously that he's trying to work his way up the robotics division out in Nevada. He was changed over from being a chutes guy to an engineer and even got to name one of the lil pallet bots. He called it "Tiny Cat"
Warehouse workers are direct employees.
DSPs - driver associates are subcontractor jobs
But, I'm glad your peeps are taking advantage of the internal benefits
@@ricebikeThanks for clarifying that! :D
I didn't know. Now I do!
@@FurryWrecker911 np, I told my nephew to get into the computer side of Amazon when he was a warehouse worker as well👍
Why i deliver in Florida.Fuck all that lol.
Was kinda cold in Greece too this winter. So glad this poped into my recommended. That phone drop was so scary lol.
2 months without video, how sad...
Hi Anna I missed you 😅
This was super fun to watch man!
3 months hopefully they didn’t get you 😔
Nope 😪 still waiting. Please
@@supremecarnage5071❤
Hey been 3 months. Where you at what you doing?
I can’t wait for more vlogs from you man 😁
Aint no amazon truck if it aint got no piss bottles in it
Never related to a comment so much before 😂
How do these drivers go about 💩?
I use to carry an empty gallon with me at all times. Quick piss and back to delivering lol good times
I have an idea for your company, they should add like 2 people one is the driver and the other is the delivery guy so it would be much more faster besides being solo
what happened to this channel?
He said "Hey guys Chris here" instead of "hey guys ChrisFix here" so RUclips had to take him down
