- come to work with me at Amazon in their new electric delivery vehicles. I'll be showing you my full day as an amazon driver and what exactly they do on the job. The amazon rivians are one of the coolest experiences I had as a driver.

The camera work commitment is impressive
i know right i would feel self conscious putting a camera on someones doorstep, faking walking away and coming back to pick up the camera lol
The effort he puts is very respectable
Bruh the fact that you set up these shoots just to have to stop and grab the camera again is insane. Dedicating time on your route to your youtube shows how much you care fr
You are a great energy my man love the vibe you spread, and the effort you put into these videos!
I love the moment when you bought ice cream, that was wholesome.
It brought back a lot of memories as a kid
Running into an ice cream truck on your route on a hot day feels like winning the lottery 😂 I'm a FedEx driver and a couple years ago I ran into one that was doing buy 1 get 1 free because it was the end of the season. Made my day much better! The Rivian truck seems really nice. We're supposed to be getting some electric trucks soon at my station but who knows how long that will take.
they need to install charging stations
6 month update? any electric trucks?
@@hurtcobain3282 Nope, none yet 🙃 Don't even have the charging stations yet.
@@xTheCommodore They've been installing stations at dfl7 in Lakeland Florida for a couple months, today I saw 6 or 7 evs there already
@@xTheCommodorestill nothing?
I’m starting in a couple weeks so watching this is cool!
Best of luck 🍀
This is pretty cool to see the other departments that work alongside amazon like ABM and DSP. As of currently I work in the warehouse.
(im probably forgetting more and no, you cant record inside the facility)
That's smart keeping mentor on a separate phone so you don't get any distracted driving hits, I'll have to suggest this to my DSP
Your puppy is absolutely adorable!!!
Loved this new format. Cool shots bro
Appreciate it. Wanted to try something different
Biggest difference between US and where i live is the hour you starting to work at , we are usually at the depo by 5 am, on the road around 8 am and done with delivering around 2-4 pm
It’s so enjoyable to see ur videos of filming you driving evs and delivering packages, plz do more❤
The Netradyne camera doesn't record unless you cause a event, and then it records for a set period of time after. It doesn't record audio either. It's always on but isn't recording 24/7
I fully enjoyed watching this. Thank you!
I gotchu
I love this vid i don't know why, you're such a cool dude and showing off what you do is really nice, I really love the summer feel too, when you film the outside sometimes and stuff, i really enjoy these videos, hope you'll do more while i watch the older ones :)
Great video Man!! So here In Connecticut there is now wayyyy I have time to get a drink like you did or ice cream I wish!!! You should see how many totes and overflow we have to jam in those vans and not the electrical ones either!! And this isn’t peak season either lol. Tomorrow I’m starting the electrical thank GOD! I hope it helps with ending the day earlier!!!
Thanks for showing us what it’s like to do this gig!
Anytime
Driver hack: if you wear sun glasses the camera can’t tell your on the phone 😂
Is that thing on the left A pillar part of that system too?
@@Shade_Tree_Mechanic no that’s not a camera I was told it was a sensor.
Love it you ran to the ice cream truck like you were a kid again 👍
Love the new camera man!! By the way, 30k subscribers is awesome to see my man!
The shots at 4:35 are always so funny to me. yeah they look cool but then I imagine the person running and getting the camera. its always funny
i drive for a dsp amazon and i can only imagen how much time he wastes haha
@@grubbly8414 not a waste since we get to enjoy the outcome!
@@user-vn1hv5el8d well I’m sure the owner of the dsp would love to here the reason 4 hours of work is taking 11
Hahaha. Most of my shots are POV. Thought I spice it up a little
@@grubbly8414 when you're paid hourly, sometimes you gotta stretch it a bit. You're only hurting yourself if you constantly rush to get done faster on an hourly pay.
Interesting. Thank you!
I was a part of the team that launched that AI camera for driver safety. One challenging aspect of working on that project was getting the DSP to buy in because they worried about the driver's privacy.
And is it invasive?
You know what’s funny I watched ur vids before I started working for FedEx ( that’s lasted 3 days) and now I start at Amazon next week lol hopefully this one goes better.
U took a lateral move if you left FedEx ground for Amazon DSPs... Similar contractor model
I kept trying to figgure out how you were doing some shots! At first I was like.. OK, he's just setting the camera down then going back to get it. But then it was following you so I thought.. Oh, he has someone else with him. But then it was outside the van as you were driving, and I was.. uh.. huh? lol!
I'm entertained one way or another.
It's a combination of all 🙂
Keep up that energy bro, as a fellow driver, I know what you mean, the EV is so nice too
How does your day looks so relaxed when having 150 stops😭😂
Bro i had a 186 the other day but the step van makes it easier to get in and out fast
@Manny Savage i don't like em step vans. They ride a lil harsh. No A/C too
3:53 - I'll explain the reason for this since I've driven for Amazon in the past. Newer drivers don't get to pick a specific van they'd like to drive on a daily basis, often times that's set aside for veteran drivers. If this isn't the case for his DSP, drivers nonetheless are assigned what van they'll use for their specific route, no one can choose their own van.
not true,
the favorite chooses . late
get the crap ones
@@Matthewxie5505 I was always on time, yet I almost always got a trashed and crapped van.
@@brokenvesselscothe
@@brokenvesselsco they want to you to be in kidnappers van so people can call 911 on you 😂jk jk
Thx for video, my first day is nxt week.
Let’s goooo! Good stuff man! 🚐
Thanks Stuart!
150 stops would be godly. Got me running 180 on the regular
My DSP I’m averaging like 170-180 stops a day country routes at that out here in Oklahoma sometimes 190 it seems like peak never ended
Fascinating and hard….plus I appreciate your effort to make a video, also❤
6:38 them houses and area looks nice asf
Very nice area
Thanks for your videos brother I enjoy them. I’m thinking of switching to become a driver instead of the Amazon warehouse. You make it seem ok but I’m sure it’s not that great lol
Bro how are you just chilling like that with 150+ stops
I can't even take breaks with 140 stops
I'm always chilling haha
My DSP gives us Zebras and we always use the laser scanner to scan packages, carts, and totes. but for some reason, for in garage deliveries, it uses the camera to scan the packages
Amazon really does need to track you for us customers to track where I packages are by how many stops there are before their packages are delivered.
You're right about the app that you use. Even in Florida a package for one house across the street from me I don't come after it will have the driver deliver 5 stops around multiple blocks again and then drive back on my street. It's ridiculous and stupid but then Amazon claims it wants to be a sustainability company. It will waste fuel drivers going down the same street twice instead of once.
I saw that just the other day in my neighborhood. I was watching an Amazon Driver with an unmarked van drive down one street, come back around, go up the hill to deliver a package, and then come back again and go down my street after he had already passed it the first time. It makes no sense.
love the content as a fedexer shout out to all the love you give to everyone in our profession, stay safe out there! also are those fedex shorts lol?
Gotta represent haha. Stay safe out there
I had a colostomy bag and a catheter installed so I can go with impunity lol. No rest stops for me!
My question as a fellow driver is with over 300 packages how do you find the time to record this content? Most days I have over 250 packages and I don’t get done till 6pm or so
I deliver like the flash. Wouldn't recommend
Them camera angles! Good work on this one bro. And are those fedex shorts?????
👀
More delivery videos! Idk them videos be mad Interesting
I wish I have an EV. I worked courier driving a 2002 Camry, spend like $7K on gas last year.
I was just offered this job, it looks fun in a lot of ways but I’m also scared shitless
I think this AI Camera is the best thing. They cant rush you to do more stops, forcing you to speeding etc. It keeps your work time balanced. Btw. Great videos, great car (private and Rivian 😊).
Greetings from Poland.
It does have its drawbacks though. So many crazy drivers always pass me up and cut me off. It does promote being an extra cautious driver. But getting a hard braking or following too close infraction just because someone else cut you off aggressively
Agreed. They're definitely flaws to AI
Greetings from America
150 stops i would’ve been haul assing to get out my friday of the week 😩 me & my guys used to be otp competing
I have a couple of questions for you. The first one is why don’t you organize your packages at the warehouse and the second one is do you use your own phone or does Amazon provide one
Do you get in trouble for losing totes? I’m a mail carrier.. I’ve seen totes left behind by Amazon drivers at complexes
They started to keep track of lost totes. The warehouse was losing to many
production and camera work of this video > average hollywood movie
How do you organise your overflows? I am curious to see if it's the same as the UK
Makes me miss delivering for my DSP but now I’m with Ground but both have negatives and positives
Agreed but now I heard your merging with express
@@LaosHouse yup! We been getting a lot of express packages 🙃
Where can i get one of those pouches you wear on the side of your hip?
Damn those EVs are sweet i cant wait till they roll out ours. Looks to be very roomy. Bro you gotta get that mentor score up 😂 great video
In most EU countries it is illegal for amazon and other delivery companies to track and record drivers
I need to move to the EU
Why Amazon and not FedEx or UPS? Thanks
Hey what are those you wearing on leg to protect from sun heat ?
I did 171 stops today & it was not fun . I was so tired I couldn’t even take my 30 min break because my company is so strict about finishing early . Should I switch to different company ?
Is each bag and location automatically set up in order together? How do you know the order in which you deliver each bag. Not sure if this makes sense so I’ll put it another way. Does the gps tell you which box goes to that location? Not sure why I’m asking lol I’m starting this job soon. Newly hired.
I think first person camera angel is better then 360 camera
Gotta get all the angles
You work until 9 at night? What time do you start? Also who cleans these vehicles inside and out?
Why in America they wear seatbelt every stop 🤣🤣UK not lol is there no exempt law in USA
What kind of bag on the belt do you use for delivery
Ayyo Chris, how do your knees hold up while driving the EV, compared to the other type of vans
how do you put them in order or how you know which package go first
Quick question do amazon drivers get memorial day off
what's brand phone belt bag?
What time u start ur day
I worked there for 4 months. Alston Transportation LLC in Houston Tx and let me tell you that I only did this job because it happened in Pre Covid. Worst job ever. You had to pee in bottles most of the times. I never remember even using a toilet. I was on the top 5 best/fastest delivering board for every single week. I remember delivering 300+ packages or having 300 stops and still finishing my route in 5-7 hours but this job sucks if you want to make a living of it. Go for Part Time instead.
Why were you killing yourself running all day? It's an hourly job vs some of FedEx ground drivers who gets payed salary
@@ricebike Let me state something. Houston has shitty traffic no matter what time it is and that puts your schedule way back and our routes consisted more of apartments than houses and to top it off most of the apartments did not have lockers so I would choose to do that first and then focus on the residential houses. Second, they would get on your ass for doing overtime when it wasnt even your fault and I dont depend nor need overtime.
And then they would tell you to go rescue some one that means that you have to go to another driver that is near your route or maybe not that near and take X amount of packages and the funny thing is that when you did that the driver that you helped then hauled ass to finish first and there is a lot of other stuff but like I sais its better to go PT than FT as a Delivery Driver.
Difference between stop and location?
not that it affects you since it isn't yours but a few EV channels say you do not want the battery to charge to full all the time
Hmmm they all get fully charged everyday
For these Rivians? I know the LR Tesla’s should charge to 80% regularly and only 100% for road trips but I figured these Rivian’s were running LFPs or something that would be fine to charge to 100% every night.
Our DSP got a fleet of rivians but havnt gotten the green light to go yet😢
They make the delivery experience so much better
Damm love these shots on 360 cam
Thanks. I'm really liking them too
What kind of bag do you have on your belt?
Question, does the company wash the vans for you or are the washed by yourself or is it a per month somthing?
Such a beautiful day out delivering huh Lao?
These days are the best days
I’m watching this while sitting in my ev 😂
👀
How many hours do you make a day?
3rd person view is awesome!!
Getting fancy with your camera work! It looks great, but I did get nervous for you and you getting done in time, especially when you said you had more stops than usual. It does look awesome though
I had to put in work that day. Haha always on the grind
bro where is this i wanna work with those vans
What steering wheel cover do you have? Love the vids btw keep it up!
Hi Chris! New in the channel. Can you give us a look of how the app works? Greetings from Costa Rica 🙌
what 360 camera are you using?
It’s the insta 360 x3
You got them fedex shorts i see !!!
Always representing
I need your route you have time to get ice cream😂
Hey man! How long until everybody uses the amazon rivians nationwide?
He's just a driver for a subcontractor. Only rivian and Amazon will know that
So today was my first day by myself on a route I did horrible 2023 9/13 smh received help 3 times I have a question if u have u on a package that means urgent delivery I did so bad hope I get a chance to fix my mistakes if not I can't say I never tried u get me they gave me the budget van no hand truck
Do you get more than enough time to do the drops?
1:58 why everyone has their hazzards on?
It's a requirement
They have to keep hazards on inside
Where do you deliver to? And does your company pay your full 10 hours even though you only work 5-6?
What station is this ?
$4 for that ice cream cone 😂Man, I'll just go buy me a 1 gallon cookies and cream for about $5 lol.
The EV is the best to work in, had it pretty much everyday for months
Next time you get in the EV and it still has those windshield wrappers on, I'd like to see you peel them off. I'd appreciate that anyway.
It's harder than it looks. It's like taking off a decal that's been on your car for months
Where'd you get the hat I love it
Columbia branded bucket hat. Keeps me in the shade. Highly recommend
Why do you need to take photos of the packcages?
They're supposed to take a picture of the package as a confirmation to the customer that it's delivered , the picture is viewable to prime members so they know that it has arrived at their home.
It's also for theft protection purposes, if the package is stolen after the driver drops it off then the customer and Amazon would have visible proof that it has been delivered and the police can attempt to locate the individual that stole it.
Real talk how do I get this job?
it feels weird that you guys go down to the number on your packages and can actually fix your overflow meanwhile over here in hawthorne cali theres literally no point to organizing as it could be random as fuck and a waste of time
Honda review pls
