Hey guys, I hope this video helped you answer some questions about what it takes to be an Amazon DSP owner! If you’re interested or need more info about dsps check out the website. Logistics.amazon.com
Hey Juan, I have a question. Do you personally believe it’s a profitable business? The cost of labor, vans, maintenance and insurance. Also, do you think amazon will start using drones for delivery and will DSPs have access to drone delivery too?
If you can keep your company afloat and start doing good. Yea. You’ll start making great money! You might struggle a bit in the beginning, but if you get past the hard part which is always the starting point you’ll start making great money. And yeah drones should be starting pretty soon! I want to be a pilot for one and not sure amazon might just do it themselves. But if they do allow daps I want in!
IAmTheJuanAndOnly Yes that would be cool. We could park the vans, and deliver with drones to the houses. It would be handy in rural delivery with long driveway.
I just joined Amazon being a delivery associate with a new facility. And my DSP owners are excellent people. They are very understanding and support all of their drivers. Plus they moved me up to a lead driver and let me work the dispatch desk more often. They just stress a little because they can't get dependable workers. And a lot of people apply. But can't get past the background check. Hats off to all DSP owners who stick with it and provide great employee service.
@@hotandsour100 i haven't applied yet. I am trying to get my credit up a few points.. its a little average... but I gotta get it done soon. I'm in the NYC/NJ area and they have a warehouses popping up everywhere
You have to have 30,000 verified in your bank to get the process rolling. There are a lot of hoops and hurdles that you have to go through before amazon lets you come on board. They say 10,000 to start but if you don't have the 30,000 in your bank your application isn't gonna go anywhere. Also, even though you pay money to start the dsp amazon still charges you a daily rental fee for the blue amazon vans. You don't really have full control of your dsp, because at the end of the day amazon decides the fate of the dsp. They can offboard any driver at anytime if they choose to. They can also ground any van at any time for any reason that see feel fit to do so.
A dsp owner or a dsp can’t be let go until the contract is over. But you can get your routes reduced if you’re doing team is doing a bad job. Meaning less money for you .
@@IAmTheJuanAndOnly That is almost entirely true. A DSP can have their contract cancelled if a major violation has occurred from the dsp. Amazon can also keep dropping the DSP’s routes causing them to eventually step out. I did see that happen at one of the stations where i originally loaded up from.
My husband Jason Nixon really wants to own his own dsp Amazon warehouse. He wants a fleet of 10 vans, he needs 10 employees, hr person, operations manager. Hes not going to do it until 3 yrs from now. He has a name in mind: Van Dorn logistics LLC. He wants my mom & me to help run the company. We also have a lil boy he's 2yrs old.
Great unique video. Question: what are some of the places drivers look to find a driving job? In other words, where do DSP owners post ads or openings to solicit applications?....besides Indeed
I applied for the DSP application and interview screen twice but I get twice rejected in straight few years. Even I have build experience work in OTR leadership partner with DSP owners. I don't get it and what something am I missing? Help me!
4th day of ride along . It went good , lead guy showed me another way to sort my packages by id number just put them in numerical order makes thing easy . He just told me I need to get used to the finding the exact address . I think I had 170 deliveries . Everyone on nursery routes they hiring way more people for the holidays
I work for purolator, max wage is $35 with 90% benefits covered. and we dont over-work like amazon. 170 stops if its peaking season is okay xmas boxing day or other events, but regular days 80-100 is the max. reconsider applying for other companies. not saying amazon is terrible, its alright to work for them.
@@ddennis2430 no if I can do it you can . I come from a construction background where we get dirty and lift heavy stuff and working with tools , it’s a piece of cake . Got to come in with a set plan GET HER DONE
The dsp is the person who provides you with health insurance. As for the vehicle insurance the dsp also pays for that. If the package is missing and not with you at alll while delivering then amazon is.
Depends on the dsp you work for. Lol my dsp has a maintenance manager and he takes care of the vans. But some people just trash vans all day. We keep drivers accountable for leaving trash in the van. So depending on the dsp you work for and if they take care of their vans.
The dsp i work for, doesnt even bother cleaning them... every day I get on a different van, and its always dirty with what the previous driver left.. now that I passed my DOT test.. I drive the big step vans and those are always clean cause its only like 5 of us that are qualified to driver them, and I usually get the same van per week.
As for your other question I’m not sure what a good amount would be. And for this one after a while if you don’t want to stay and work you can go home and let your managers run it. It just has to be people you trust. That’s what our owner does. He used to be there and now he’s never there.
Can DSP driver be fired? And can you tell me more about been a DSP owner, cause I am trying to get into it, I was thinking to own my own delivery business, but I am also thinking to switch to Amazon, cause it’s a well known business and it gonna take a while for my own food delivery business to be recognized, what do you advice?
A dsp driver can be fired. Well being a dsp owner even though you are your own company Amazon still runs the show. You have to do a lot of what Amazon says or things can get hard lol if your dsp starts doing good though you can make a lot of profits. Just working with Amazon can be a headache a lot of the time. I’d say just make sure you have a good reliable team I’d you decide to start one, because it won’t be easy.
@@IAmTheJuanAndOnly thank you so much for replying, is better I do something that I will be in charge and control of, do you happen to know anything about food delivery business?
@@Buckminsterfully hello brother, i also have applied for dsp. I guess i am on same page as you . Bai ji can you leave your email or number so that we can get in touch and take our applications to next step .
I’ve worked for both fedex and Amazon as a delivery driver , Amazon is like a walk in the park for me though less pay. I wanna know how much Amazon pays the Dsp is it like per package or per stop , am guessing they get paid per stop cos that would be way cheaper for them . If somebody knows please share
I mean kinda yeah. You’ll need your dispatch team out there to help get everyone get ready for their route and maybe a driver manager just to make sure things are running smooth. A dsp owner can assign who does those tasks. But once you’re established you can pretty much run remotely as an owner or manager.
Depending on what insurance your dsp gets. Can range from 150-200 or so every two weeks. If a package is missing then and it’s not your fault then Amazon of course. :)
I think last time I talked to the owner was well over 100k depending on how many routes you get and how big your business can get. Sorry I didn’t ask! Maybe if I ever get the chance to I’ll ask him.
@@IAmTheJuanAndOnly thanks for answering. Im currently a driver, but i feel like its not for me (i got sciatica pains and other body pain and conditions) so im looking into this since i got a little money saved up.
Yeah at first you might start out a little rough but if you build up your route count and then become a pretty good dsp you can make great money! The owner isn’t even in our dsp anymore he’s off doing other things. He lets the guy named Caleb take care of everything. It’s hard to build up, but once you do and if you can keep it up then you’ll make good money
Im interested in being an owner, but i wouldn't even know where to start to get ppl to run the business and do it right. Thats what happens when u dnt go to school, kids.
Interesting, someone I know was kinda interested so I sent him this video , mentor did me wrong today it gave me a phone manipulation and I didn’t even touch it , it was in the docking station, I was just driving down the road , I sent feedback cus that’s not fair although I doubt nothing will happen!
Appreciate you sharing! And I believe it. The mentor app is wack! Like I’ve said before they really need to work on a different scoring or fix the app. It’s way too sensitive.
Of course. Sorry for your point reduction. Not really much one can do. You can ask your dsp maybe they can help? But other than that. The app is trash lol

I just applied for DSP delivery driver and wondering how they drug test?
What can’t you have on your background and does age of record matter
This is an amazing video!!! Thanks for the info… thinking of getting into the DSP system..
Thanks so much for making this video and for doing all that you do. I truly appreciate you taking the time to do this...
You are very welcome! 😁 thank you so much for watching! It helps me a ton!
Bruh, good interviews helps out a lot. There isn't much out there about starting a DPS than what Amazon says. Ignore the hater comments.. they salty🧂
Lmao facts. Thank you! 😁
Also looking into this myself. If you have any suggested videos or online resources, do share.
Hey Patrick, where are you in the process? I was accepted and now I'm waiting to be assigned a station
@@hotandsour100 i haven't applied yet. I am trying to get my credit up a few points.. its a little average... but I gotta get it done soon. I'm in the NYC/NJ area and they have a warehouses popping up everywhere

Thanks for this Juan. Appreciate the information.
You’re welcome !
The banana microphone made me instantly subscribe lol
It’s all I had 😂 all worth it now!
So i dont need a property. We can do it from semi to vans ? Is on airplane or buss

possibility to partner?
So why do you have to work 7 days a week? Can you choose to take weekends off?
It's the banana for me 😂😂 you guys are awesome
Is it necessary to have a lawyer on hold for you while you're into this parntership
I’d say yes. People will try to sue you for almost anything
I am seeing it is two people can attend the interview while their catalogue says only one person can attend it?
It's the fact they spoke into the banana for me🤣🤣🤣
🍌
where do your employees drive to get their vans filled with packages? is it an amazon warehouse or do the DSP owners have their own warehouse
Amazon warehouse :)
Great unique video. Question: what are some of the places drivers look to find a driving job? In other words, where do DSP owners post ads or openings to solicit applications?....besides Indeed
Amazon uses something called fountain. You can post on Facebook, zip recruiter, indeed. Almost any platform. But it does cost
Question. Do you drive the same van every day ?
No! Almost everyday is a different one. Sometimes you get the same one.
Is there a way to find out how many DSP’s are in a particular region?
Definitely loved u man ,funny und useful
Haha thank you!
Good insider information 💪 keep it up bro!
😁😁😁 always homie! You too!!
They seem like they would be good people to work with.
Yeah they are great! I enjoy their management skills and they allow cool things like this to happen! I appreciate them a lot
So which is better a dsp or fedex ground contractor?
Juan growing faster than my receding hairline
Lmao that’s a good thing 😂
@@IAmTheJuanAndOnly 😆
So how much do they make per driver? How do they pay their drivers? How much money they make per driver

Do u have what it takes to put up with the idiocy of Amazon?
Lmao 😂 probably yes 🙌
They seem like they are a really chill DSP, my DSP is a Russian man who’s strict as hell and made me take 170 packages for my first day :/
Some people are like, “no fun allowed” sucks. Did you feel overwhelmed?
@@IAmTheJuanAndOnly oh yeah! I will probably stay here for another month and then quit 😔
Hope it gets better. Don’t let make your day worse with their attitude. Keep that head up and keep looking forward. :) just know you’re getting paid
@@philossity5337 Did you quit
@@namskramskram6009 yeah and now I’m in the army lmao
Heeey guys!!!!! Miss you both😍💋
Hope all is going well ! 😁😁😁😁
Do you have to find a base
The interview is with 2 people both there just over a year and neither one of them are staying. What more do you need to say?
Haha yeah. The CEO wants to open up his own business and the manager wants to go to nursing school.
the owner is gonna be screwed
@@RichGarciaTv why, he can just hire new managers
Who pays for insurance and is Amazon liable for anything such as missing packages etc?
The dsp is the person who provides you with health insurance. As for the vehicle insurance the dsp also pays for that. If the package is missing and not with you at alll while delivering then amazon is.
@@IAmTheJuanAndOnly thank fk i dont live in the US.....health insurance is no issue for me in the UK to provide to my future drivers.
How much did this DSP make their first year?
Not 100 percent sure, but it was a very good amount.
@@IAmTheJuanAndOnly how much is a very good amount?? Is it as much at they say you can make or was it more/less
Are the Van's well maintained or do you just have to drive some POS every day?
Depends on the dsp you work for. Lol my dsp has a maintenance manager and he takes care of the vans. But some people just trash vans all day. We keep drivers accountable for leaving trash in the van. So depending on the dsp you work for and if they take care of their vans.

Do DSP owners need to work in the business or can they hire managers to handle the day to day operations?
As for your other question I’m not sure what a good amount would be. And for this one after a while if you don’t want to stay and work you can go home and let your managers run it. It just has to be people you trust. That’s what our owner does. He used to be there and now he’s never there.

Can you start with one van or is it like 10,000 or 30 for each van
I applied to Amazon but haven’t heard back? How can I move things along? It’s for a new hub in Ontario Canada 🇨🇦
It could be because of the Christmas time stuff, but usually it doesn’t take that long. Have you tried contacting your dsp?
Hi T, i have applied as well from Ontario, did u hear back from them?
@@Buckminsterfully hello brother, i also have applied for dsp. I guess i am on same page as you . Bai ji can you leave your email or number so that we can get in touch and take our applications to next step .

Per package
8¢ per package for fantastic and 15¢ for fantastic plus. This is why DSP push for a fantastic plus scorecard.
Not even funny - "What's going on", is stuck in my head & find myself saying it. Informative video.
Lmao 😂 now you’ll never forget me! 😂😁😁😁😁 thanks for the support!!
Is he been honest or he cant be honest because the paper si sign to not talk bad about the amazon

You’re welcome :)
Attending a DSP webinar on 9 Feb 21
That should be fun. Opening your dsp? Or thinking about it?
Thinking about it! Retiring from the military this year (20 plus years) and looking for something to do now that I’m all grown up. Lol
Lol it’s going to be tough if you get in it, but you can make pretty good money if you succeed. 👍🏼
Who's paying delivers? The DSP owners or Amazon?
Dsp
What is the difference between a concession and a defect??
You should order a fresh banana 🍌 from Amazon fresh 😂
I can’t hear y’all through your masks.
1. Average cost of insurance?
2. Who is liable for missing packages?
Depending on what insurance your dsp gets. Can range from 150-200 or so every two weeks.
If a package is missing then and it’s not your fault then Amazon of course. :)
What is the overall cost for a branded Amazon Van.
Not too sure on that one, but if you’re with amazon as a dsp they help you rent them. You can buy some l, but most dsps rent them.
Can human resources be the owners too? In my job there are 2 human resources girls but i feel in the Lowkey they are the owners.
lol yeah if they own the company
How much money they make?
My dsp takes advantage of its employees! Help
Good work
thanks!
No one cared to ask how much can you make as an owner. Or at least how fast can u double your investment.
I think last time I talked to the owner was well over 100k depending on how many routes you get and how big your business can get. Sorry I didn’t ask! Maybe if I ever get the chance to I’ll ask him.

Doesn’t hurt to try. You never know until you ask. :)
You work in garland texas ?
What does DSP drivers make a week?
depending on the dsp. some pay you for 40 hours a week and some only pay you what you work. so it can range. it can range from 450-600 a week.
Thanks!!!!
You’re very welcome !
Im interested in being an owner, but i wouldn't even know where to start to get ppl to run the business and do it right. Thats what happens when u dnt go to school, kids.
Don’t do it….if you try to shut down the business Amazon will hit you with big fees for all the damage done to the vans
Lease your own vans not from them ... Problem solved
Even if you lease a vehicle and it's time to turn it in your are responsible for that vehicle regardless.... Little logic goes a long way homie
