Amazon pays terrible for drivers. Good place for beginners but if you want money. Don’t work there. It’s $50k a year. I made more as armed security ($70k)
I’d definitely do this after I’m done with Otr. Time is the most important thing we have and there’s a lot one can do with 4 days off. School, another job, etc.
I'm OTR for C.R. England. "Backing isn't a issue." Is a statement I wish I could say but sometimes as a OTR driver you deliver to places that were simply not designed for a combination vehicle and more for a box truck, so many times I had to back into the entrance of the distribution center all the way up to my assigned dock and once your hooked to the dock your cab is taking up half the road.
Ok, I work for TOM team at Amazon and you actually work 4 days of 10 hour shifts , they train you to get your CDL for automatic only. The pay depends on your area. And Amazon hires a 3rd party to train you for CDL school.
idk how carrier choice work. but with tom. there isnt a commitment issue. just know if you fail via carrier choice. then nothing will happened but with tom. you get demoted/get placed back inside the Wearhouse @@Oo-Shiesty
I was with Walmart for 20+ years. We were paid to sleep on OTR, and was also 32 yrs as a local SoCal driver so I had seniority. I medically retired a few years ago. Walmart was a good outfit, but there was only 2 others in that time that I loved working for. Gordon Trans in SoCal, and RLT when I lived in Redding Ca.
Remember to keep grease on your fifth wheel and check your pin on the trailer making sure it isn’t crooked or damaged. You should be all good for the most part
I would definitely give it a try but idk if they accept no experience. Right now I’m doing a class b job. I’m hoping I can start uploading videos. I got one out and can use the support lol
The pay is straight trash . You local drivers not even making 1k a week and driving a truck fuck that I was getting 650 per trip to Sacramento to LA did that 3 times a week and 3 times a month illegally Amazon relay app is the move
How do i get started on this? And do they offer CDL training, or do i have to go to a school, ive been looking online for amazon CDL jobs but nothing pops up:/
And when their safety people see her not turning the jack handle properly, she's in trouble too. lol That one handed method will put her in surgery eventually.
Sux. Back in the day it was ok. But now forget about it. When you apply for a job ie talk with a recruiter or anyone with the perspective company realize that the majority of the stuff they are speaking is a lie.
In the Bay area that is not enough at all, but that's what I make and I'm able to live on my own and pay all my bills. It just depends on what part of the state you live in.
@@briatrucking thank you 🙏 yes I’m currently working for FedEx ground as delivery driver I try to get into the trailers but don’t take pp with out experience it’s getting a bit harder
I did that Amazon day cab pay is ok if you just got your CDL. But the cameras are so damn sensitive you will get anxiety by just showing up to Drive. I left that Amazon for LTL
@@Blick405 they have outside and inside facing cameras, plus they have a lot of rules about no eating or drinking while the truck is in motion you have to pull over to do those things
It’s lies drivers not allowed to back onto docking doors at Amazon they have TOM team to do that and the wait time is horrible 4-6 hours for truckers to wait for a load to ship out. I work at Amazon and have witnessed many angry drivers who get frustrated on waiting for hours.
I just left amazon as a Tom in NC and we let 3P drivers dock on doors actually we prefer it if its possible but the wait is a lot for 3P drivers n ive heard pay is bad and reducing
Yea she is. She’s in a amazon truck. The companies who move amazon freight under contract don’t have amazon trucks they have their own fleet they just move amazon trailers.
Theyre a longggggg way away. A couple of years ago they were really acting like it was almost here. Now its all quiet. Why? Because when testing those trcks, there were numerous wrecks. The autonomous companies are starting to lose investors. Our infrastructure is not cut out for autonomous trucks at this time. Maybe in a hundred years after trillions of taxpayer dollars to make the roads pristine for it. Teslas were having lots of wrecks and I heard they disabled the auto drive feature because of so many wrecks with them, too. Not sure. But there's a lot more to trucking than steering the wheel. You have to inspect the truck, check all fluids, lights, reflectors, hardware, tires, suspension... there's literally at least 100 things to check every day. Then you gotta open and close trailer doors, secure the load, stop and check the load every 2 hours if you're flatbed. You've got a refrigerator to monitor if its a teefer truck hauling foods or meds that must remsin cold. The trucks use radar so the radar plate has to be maintained. If its snowing, then an autonomous truck is done because the radar plate is quickly abstructed, and the road treatment will quickly block any cameras. Must have a driver. And good luck trying to find enough part time drivers just for the worst time of year to be a trucker. 😂 Then the truck will beed to back into a tight spot. Cameras are easily confused by the angles involved so facilies would probably need camera drones to fly over the trucks for an aerial view. A trucker has to go into the facility to check in the go back in to check out and get paperwork after he is loaded/unloaded. Thats the easiest part to automate, but that means every single customer, thousands per state, will need to upgrade everthing at their facilies and hire more people.

I think the comment section is confusing Tractor trailer drivers with Amazon package delivery.
I could see people confusing that because speddy edds in the trucking community
How do you think the packages get around
1k Is definitely gross pay. I just left that shit in NJ. $750 checks foh..

Weak ass checks lmao
$1k/week isnt enough to sustain yourself in the bay area either

It’s insane they would offer a truck driving that low of pay. Truck drivers should be making $30 hr plus… sad
