3 TIPS TO DELIVER FASTER (Amazon Delivery Driver)

- A couple tips to deliver quicker! Comment your tips down below!
TIP 1: Organize your totes! If I have tote with 15+ packages I'll start by just separating boxes, envelopes, and plastic bags rather than organizing by driver assist number right away. If I have multiple stops on a street, I'll organize by stop so I can grab as quick as possible.
TIP 2: Know your route! I always try to look 2-3 stops ahead so I know which direction to go at intersections, if there are multiple stops within walking distance, etc. Nothing worse then walking down a long driveway, getting back to the van, and realizing the next stop is down that way again. Plus you can avoid making U-Turns.
TIP 3: Stretch, drink water, eat snacks, and do what you need to do to feel good and get that boost to power through a long shift. If you're at a good DSP they should value your well-being over your pace.

Slow is smooth, smooth is fast. Basically means if you are in a rush you are more likely to make mistakes, plus you don't really flow well in a rush. However when you slow down you flow better and make less mistakes, which is smooth, and smooth efficiency is faster than chatoic rushing.

Never judge by stops, judge by package amount. you might have 160 stop but you actually probably have over 200 because grouped stops are counted as 1.
never judge package count. also judge your route. ill take 350 packages at 180 stops over 200 packages at 130 stops. 1 is all neigborhoods the other is all country roads. i can countrol how fast i move in neihborhood not how fast i can drive on a country road
Sometimes stops is easier to judge. You can have 120 stops, 300+ packages and mostly have apartments and half of those packages go to lockers. Which I've had happen plenty. I've also had a DSP that was more predictable when it came to routes, idk how they did it. I rotated between the same 3-4 routes every week, always had 300 to 400 packages per route and Anytime I had 120-130 stops I knew I had businesses, apartments, country houses, and suburb houses last, all in that order too. And they never over did it with how many stops you had per area. 10-15 business stops tops, 30 apartment stops, the rest was houses. If I had 140 to 200 stops I knew I was getting almost all houses, with the exception of a few apartments, or businesses. And it was based on performance. If you were slow they gave you less the next day, if you were fast, they gave you more. I wish more DSPs could be like this. It would make delivering so much easier for EVERYONE.
Group stops suck when it’s like 3 addresses
I go by stop amount
@@julianowen6670 for realz I'll be much faster in big neighborhoods than in country cuz driving kills me
I never took breaks or lunches then I said screw it once I got to sit and let my body relax for a bit it was more of a boost instead of just wasting time
I feel it! It’s a mini recharge!
I never understood why guys and gals just give the company their breaks trying to rush and get done to short themselves of their hours i just dont get it
@@carltonstephen75 I had some kind of false belief that if I didn't stop for the 30 minutes I would in turn get done earlier lol
@@carltonstephen75 because some companies pay you for 10 hours regardless of the time you finish, so doing 180 in like 5 hours is worth it to some
@@user-zd8vg1nl5g bingo my dsp pays for the full shift regardless if you come back earlier. The 30 min also makes me sluggish for the rest of the shift, its gets me cold rather than rested.
Sorting them by stops works GREAT but you can only do it after you've cleared some space in your van
True!
when too many bags to open a shelf i open first tote flatten it on passenger seat put boxes there abnd put envelopes in between seats untill i ihave enough space to drop a shelf
Yeah after finishing one tote bag... You only have three minutes tops to organize the next tote bag. On your next route. Or else you can get written up for taking too long...
@@wolverineforce2068 our DSP doesn't do that. They also don't do rescues, unless your truck broke down, really bad traffic, route issues, you're new etc...
@@jona5517 damn, our first rescue is mandatory every day. But we get paid $1 for every package you deliver during your rescues. You can take as many rescues as you want. I usually do 2 a day and it helps even out my check when I don't hit a full 40hrs for the week.
Things that kill good time.
- GPS not working
- missing packages from the AW
- houses without numbers
- aggressive homeowners
- night
- weather
- off road anything
Facts I just started maybe four weeks ago and it’s exactly those things that hold me up. And I’m told I’m moving to slow
@@heathermeachum6084 just last the busy season and you will have it made.
Apartment buildings are the biggest killer
And cracked phones
@@Slevencolevra yes yes and yes
145 stops. That’s mind boggling, And then a rescue. You do good work, Stuart. 👍
Should see a 200 stop day, only hit that high twice but some people get it all week during peak😅😅
It’s the end of your route and it’s still daylight?!? I’m jealous
I wish we could organize by box, envelope, and plastic bag, but the warehouse guys in my area will make it so a box is a envelope or a plastic bag is a customized box
Nothing worse than spending 2 mins looking for a box when it’s in an envelope the whole time🙄
Same
Agreed..
That part!
Facts! Or when they put the boxes face down with the sticker on the bottom
So crazy to see what was considered a lot ~3yrs ago. Or maybe they fired way too many people after Christmas and our routes doubled in volume after peak. I got 460 package route and I don't think I'm going back, at least not to the same DSP
I’m bout to just start throwing packages at this point 🤣
Make sure you can throw 100 an hour🤓
😆😆😆
Here's a tip keep your route efficient and choose the stops that are the closest to each other don't go by the next sequence numbers.
sometimes it's not efficient to do this just for the fact you have to dig around for the correct tote and dig around some more to find the package in that said tote and by the time you find it you could have already done 2 or 3 stops, now if you had a smaller route and the van or whatever isn't jammed packed then i could see this being efficient but during peak you can forget about it.
Especially for apartments. The system thay generated my route for an apartment complex had me going from building 1 to 38 to 6 to 19 to 24 etc. Completely out of order. I decided that I wouldn't go by the order it wanted me to and went from 1 to 36 in order and got done quicker.
@@foster88888 I can see that working for apartments, but not suburban homes. I skip around on apartments because I like to work floor by floor, and some stops have multiple floors in each one.
@@redpillmale6518 Apartment always kill my time! I just skip them on my itinerary and save them for dead last. Usually that works out because the tenant is home after 6 PM and can buzz me in.
Definitely. If you get the same area every shift. It becomes easy to learn street names and can start sorting by street names/house numbers and then plan which streets you want to finish next as you go. Especially helps if the premade route is disorganized. You'll start to learn which areas take longer and can finish those first in your route so after lunch is a breeze.
Always keep the tote your working on in front of you, sort by number. Higher number boxes on the floor in front of seat, lower street number boxes on the seat, all envelopes in between seats. And before you start next stop, prepare package your doing next so you don't have to even think about where it is at stop. I do 199 stops per rout, I start at 12 and finish always before 6
Having next stop within reach has been a game changer in the step van. Usually takes a minute or less for an easy stop now where when I was back in the unbrandeds it would take so long😂
Against policy. No packages in the front seat. It creates a lazy mindset as well. Every stop you get out your vehicle, so why not grab your packages then instead of going against company policy and putting them in the front? It doesn't save you time because as you're turning your torso to grab your packages from the seat or the floor, I'm already outside the van going for my packages through the side door, which, by book, is the correct way of delivering packages for Amazon. Stop being lazy people.
Same with Step vans, except I go through the cargo door opening inside the van to grab my packages. Still, it's incorrect procedure placing packages in the front.
@@tonycanizales4989 that’s true and all, but when it comes to knocking the route in a timely manner, one must bend the rules in order to finish properly.
@@dmr__1126 Thank you for the respectable reply
yes it does work. i’ve been doing the same thing for 6 yrs on the step van or the small vans i do the same thing. i lay out one bag with boxes together and envelopes together on the shelves closest to the door that i’m using to get in and out of the van. the order doesn’t matter to me because i look at the shipping label for the address. drivers spend more time organizing by the drivers aid. me it’s lay the package out so i can see the label and i’m good to go. i don’t put packages anywhere in the cab. the way you load will also slow you down. i load bags one side and oversized on one side of the van. never mix them up and my bags i don’t stack them on top of each other so i can easily access every bag that i need. on top of that having the right pace, rhythm, muscle memory, and then eventually getting to know the areas will greatly improve how fast you deliver. in my area i deliver a package every minute. the only time you’ll see a big break is if i’m emptying a bag or a really long driveway that i can’t fit in. never run, never make a uturn in the middle of the street, never speed. the system is based on your drive time and service time. drive time is obviously the time your driving. service time would be the time your out the van making a delivery. see how the things o said don’t do will come to play here. speeding lowers your drive time and adds more time for service time meaning more stops/packages. doing a uturn also does the same thing i personally drive around the whole block every time. running to make deliveries lowers your services time which also equals more stops/packages.the system learns from what your doing and will adopt to it if it’s quicker. the faster you go the more it throws at you. find a pace and maintain it.
Legendary tips my friend. Had no idea about this idea of service time. Makes total sense though. I think it may have been your comment on another video that gave me the idea to try your separation method!
i was gonna say the same thing but I'm too lazy to type all that lol I try to teach all my trainee all thayonly half of then can do that lol
But if you really trying to get money then you would work fast right?
@@OliverNierva Depends if you get 10 hours guaranteed. Don’t want to work too fast that you’re getting less hours… usually finishing quick means you’ll be helping someone else with their route until everybody is done.
@@FridayAdventureClub that's how it is at my DSP. I learned the first week that at times I need to stretch out the end of my day because the only reward for finishing your route early is being short hours or getting more work.
I like to empty one tote bag a time and sort out envelopes by street name , place all boxes together, plastic bags etc. also i write the street number on overload packages . And always take my breaks cuz when you finish early witthout taking those breaks amazon will add stops until they realize what you cant finish. Health is wealth
Health is wealth dude. I like that! It’s true!
Well said 👍🏃💪
Bruh I don’t takes any breaks and I’m on my nursery routes and it still takes me the full 10 hour day
How many stops do you have and in what types of areas? Are you trying to speed up or are you cool with the 10 hours?
@@FridayAdventureClub I’m in neighborhoods, just park in front of the home and run out the package. I mean now I like taking the full day because I finished early once and they had me go rescue someone which I thought was bs… I get about 110 stops for my nursery routes
@@jaykay3071 Yeahhh good ole rescues. I mean as long as you’re getting your route done within the 10 hours I think you’re good as far as Amazon is concerned!
Ten hours. I wish. Company I work for want you done by five and gassing up and 5 30. Plus you leave at ten every day.
lol so glad I’m not doing this job anymore what a traumatic experience…. DSP’s are the worst thing Amazon could have done.
Todays my very first day at amazon delivery, this helped a lot
Are you still with them? How is/was it?
They way I did mine was set up first toat bag with boxes and bags in the front (keep in mind i was not in a CDV) then write the driver ID on my overflow and set my bags from big bags to small or small to big and as I’m getting to the house I alrdy have front door clocked so I can snap the pic and go, thankyou for your advice I’ll put it into play when I goto work
Organization becomes natural once you find your own technique. In my opinion being able to keep unnecessary time off each stop is going to be the game changer. Yes organization is included in that but that’s easy stuff, quick decision making in situations like finding the best closet place to park if there’s no parking at your delivery location, being able to quickly find alternative safe delivery spots if the original location can’t be accessed, knowing the layout of complexes/apartments and be aware of your itinerary, Amazon loves to ping pong you to the same apartment building after you already been there, Being able to problem solve these road blocks on the dime can drastically improve your speed.
Totally! Finding the patterns! Starting a brand new route always adds time. And learning how to problem solve, you nailed it. All very important.
Amazon Definitely have a Routing Problem! Navigation Issues and In my DSP Station A MAJOR Sortation Problem Had me All Messed 🆙 on my Route Packages that was Supposed to be in my 1st 2 Totes were Found in My Final Tote of Delivery 😭😒🤦🏾WHY I WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR IT WHEN IT WAS RETURNED TO THE STATION?
one more thing take your breaks and keep it in mind it’s just packages so do t stress it. i personally take a 30 mins lunch my two 15s i spread it out thru out the day. usually 5 mins after every 30 stops or 1 hr whichever comes first.
As you should!
@@skepticthegreat979 who’s telling you to work thru your breaks or to run?
Shit I don’t take my breaks lol
@@ThahitmanTyrielol
Thank you for those tips . I want to quick when delivering come back at a decent time.
If how much cherry pie I eat represented the percentage of stops for which you cannot park legally but get away with it anyway- should I eat half of the pie? 2/3 of the pie? One quarter? 😀😘
Got respect for you bro but I work for Amazon too and they be hitting me 200 STOPS every damn day 🤦🏼♂️ Bro said 145… I wishhhhhh
Yeah y’all don’t run, unless it’s on a smooth sidewalk. I was trying to go fast and run the other day…a lot of uphills and downhills. Ended up spraining my knee. Luckily I was towards the end of the route and had a few stops left, but it hurt like crazy trying to deliver after that. Thankfully dispatch understood and didn’t make me go rescue. But be safe out there ya! Like your videos man.
Yeahhh dude, luckily only fell once in the rain, definitely way better to take it slow when necessary! Appreciate you watching man!
I number the boxes by street numbers using a marker, that way after every stop I just look at the street numbers. Envelopes, I just lay them down like a newspaper.
I had 179 today. Got to my first stop at 11:02 AM/ Finished @ 3:15 PM. Didn’t run at all. Just kept a steady pace and organize bags and oversized so you know where everything is before you leave the warehouse.
You must of walked really fast or have some sort of organization that helped you.
Bs
How long is your load up time at the warehouse?
Damn bro wtf lol did you have all houses cause damn that’s stupid fast 💯💯
That’s bullshit… you are averaging over 35 stops an hour. No way lol
I've delivered for UPS as a seasonal driver and I can tell you first hand they will ruthlessly beat you if you leave packages on the dash or leave the bulkhead door open while driving, both of which you should never do. It's very important to keep that bulkhead door closed when your driving and when you exit the step van, even it's for a moment. If you organize your stops in order you'll run through your route like water on rocks.
Interesting! Lots of people have commented about leaving stuff on the dash😂 why keep the door closed? Theft?
@@FridayAdventureClub if you're driving a step van you never put anything on the dash or leave the bulkhead door open while driving end of story. Theft is a reason to absolutely close that door while you're away from the van, it also prevents packages from falling down the steps and onto the street. When I was at UPS we were absolutely not allowed to leave the bulkhead door open while driving EVER, you also were strictly prohibited from parking on the left side of a street.
@@zachwachs7913 Yeah UPS sounds more strict. I’ve never had any issues!
@@FridayAdventureClub you just stay safe out there and always drive defensively.
@@zachwachs7913 thanks man!
I start at 8:50 am and sign in, check what staging. Then on my personal phone look up the next address and by the time I get my boxes inside tbe truck and getting to next location my 30 min break is over
Hate when I go in office building and can’t find anyone to sign off on a package
Dude I have been organizing everything, grab-and-go, scan it or put down and walked fast back to the van but yet I am still getting rescues. Granted I've been getting a 180 plus stops And over 220 packages.
Dang! Yeah at some point I guess you can’t really go much faster!
sort by box envelope or bag, but when flex tells you the package is a box but it's actually an envelope and you spend forever trying to find the damn thing...
True🙃
Slow is smooth smooth is fast..
210 stops(110 multi locations) 460 parcel 32 overflows arround every days, 6h finish my route (flats, apartaments) only 1 tip for delivery faster is run without any breaks without any take a rest, your load is nursery route mate 4h maximun.
I had 100 stops once but my package amount was 275 lol I was like wtf. I got lucky though, the route was actually laid out well and I was able to finish. What I struggle with now is dealing with bad routing such as the itinerary wanting me to turn around all the time. If you have tips I would appreciate it :)
Geez! Yeah dense routes either mean a bunch of apartments or a bunch of multi-address stops. I think the best way to figure out routing is to plan ahead as much as you can. I always plan my next few stops in map view on my rabbit so I can plan ahead a little further!
Ik I’m late as a fedex we get paid per day not hourly so I rather just get it like half way done then I’ll take my break around 1:30 be done around 3 pm
bro said he dont think hes ever done 300 in a step van meanwhile ive had 330 in a sprinter van with 37 overflow pain
Awesome tutorial bro 👍👍
Thanks man!
Sprint Gang 🏃♂️💨
YEE
Nope
Deliver FASTER, just so they pile more and more packages on you lol!
Exactly.
i just take a 5 hour energy shot on my 15, keeps my ass going xD
That's facts! The more efficient you are the harder they work you
Looks good on video, until your envelope is actually a bag and your bag is actually a box or your envelope is actually a bag and so forth. Stickers are the only way to survive 300 packages.
If your running to drop off a package you deserve a trophy 🤣
Lmao they wilding
This was a great video, but unfortunately looking through the itinerary and anticipating each package - labeling each of them as 1, 2, 3, etc... takes an insane amount of time. Granted all you do is drive and drop off, but trying to be ahead in this sense just took too much time. So, this method did not work for me and will have to seek other methods. I'll just have to use address or driver aid number!
Fair enough!
Thank you, I learn a lot of tips here. They are helping me so good. I have a question, drink a lot of water, how and where I can stop to go to the restroom? Thnsks
Gotta get that water! Depends where you are, but here in the city we usually have enough porta potties to make it through the day. Sometimes I’ll stop at restaurants or markets, and sometimes public parks.
Lol this pass week I’ve been doing 315 packages every day
Dude it’s been getting crazy.
I’ve gotten over 400 on the cdv few times during peak. 51 oversize. All houses tho
It's a no brainer I have a like two parcels an the front dash two in the passenger foot area and two and the seat
When you have 5 stops left and the sun is still up
I only sprint if path to the door is really long.
Next month the title of ur channel nwould be why I quit amazon
Yes the port a potty struggle lol
I have learned to use the first gas station in the first off-ramp or in the town after arriving. Whether I have to go or not, I make it a point to walk in, relax and try. Most of the time it really helps.
yes i always make sure to empty out my totes one by one, put the boxes in the shelf, and all the envelopes in the passenger seat. However, because my route has been mix of country and suburban, they have been time consuming. Delivering to countryside houses does end up adding to the time because of driving in and out of driveways, farther distances between the stops, dealing with dogs, and sometimes spotty cell phone reception. Any tips on completing standard country routes faster?
I’ve never done a country route personally! Definitely sounds like a whole different beast than the city routes!
@@FridayAdventureClub oh gotcha. yeah they are a lot more different.
Yo I deliver rural routes constantly! The key is to turn the rabbit on airplane mode and then once you get back into the flex app you’re gonna need to turn Bluetooth on! Then you won’t have to worry about being in the “proximity zone” to deliver so you can put small envelopes and stuff into peoples mailboxes. It will save you a ton of time and energy, especially during the winter!
@@prisonmike8214 I’m sure you rural routers have all sorts of tips! Probably wayyy different than the city.
@@prisonmike8214 yes i know about that method but now we're not allowed to put people's packages in the mailboxes. Sometimes i just leave the package behind or in front of the gate if it's closed
I hate how your dispatchers make you rescue man! You shouldn’t rescue if you’re on a step up van. It’s unfair for you since some drivers take their “Time”. I’m glad our company pays for our full 10 hour day without any rescues.
Can make for some long days man! But I don’t mind, I only do Amazon once a week and we don’t get 10 hours guaranteed so I’m cool with a couple more hours. And I’ve been there long enough that I’m usually cool with whoever I’m picking up so I’m down to help them out. But I could see how a rescue every day of the week would get old🥲
Conversely, I hate being rescued, because that means I couldn't cut it that day. It hurts your pride.
Package selection is the only to be fast, competition requires Package selection and delivery be done and on the way in basically 20 or less.
Unfortunately ive ran into so many problems when i organize more than one tote. Ill be looking for a small box i need, and its really a plastic bag. That happens more often then not.
Yeahhh that’s always the worst😬 happens kind of a lot too!
Well i organized by street snd put them in my dash or passenger seat o and run like hell
Here's my question. Do you know why the Rabbit sometimes puts you on the opposite side of a stop? Meaning your address is on the driver's side, which means you have to run across the street or if you're *ballsy* you park on the opposite side of the road!
Seriously, and the worst is when you have multiple stop on a busy street with deliveries on different sides of the street🤯
I noticed it likes to keep you on the right side of the street and making lots of right turns it often has me doing one side of the street and then coming back and doing the other side unless previous da's have grouped those stops
so you can stop on the wrong side of the road and make everyone look at the amazon branding of course. Screw the road rules we gotta be efficient here.
@@carltonstephen75 my routes never keep me on the right side. It's always, next stop on the left, next stop on the left, in 212 feet next stop on the right.
@@jona5517 mine too
Wow. What I would give for 140+ stops! Lol 😂 send help!!!
Feels good to be back I was with 2 contractors. 1st one lost their contract switch to another company boss was very rude n disrespectful to women. So I went to fed ex ground little different at least u don't have to call driver support to moves pins or call dispatch when ur done or line up when you head out. But I love amazon more don't know why
Nice! So you’re at Ground now? From what I’ve heard Amazon is a little more organized, is that what you’ve experienced?
No I'm not with ground I used to be with them I'm back with Amazon I love it there
@@Momof2gurlz79 Awesome. Drive safe out there!
I’m with ground now. I used to be at amazon. If you know what your doing at ground it’s a million times better. I’m off by 2-3 pm every day. Better pay than amazon too. In my experience.
Been delivering for a month now. Thats what I do also. I'm also very organized. But my ceiling is 250-275 packages. And I'm literally running. I drank 3 bottles of water yesterday and didn't even pee. That means I just sweated it all out. My fitbit recorded 23,000 steps and 4,000 calories burned. I don't how you guys deliver 300-400 packages. You gotta be cutting corners somehow. Other drivers have told me the truth. They leave their sliding door open all the time in nice neighborhoods. In apartments, they buckle their seatbelt and then just sit on top it. Our supervisor brought us in a group huddle and said that some people have been leaving their engines running the entire day. Bunch of cheaters.
It’s crazy man, so much of that depends on your environment too. I’ve had 300 packages once in my 1.5 years. It all just depends on your DSP and area, and I just happen to work for a decent DSP in an urban area that requires more walking/problem solving. There are definitely some dudes on suburban routes or with sketchy DSP’s that’ll chew you out if you DON’T cut corners and those both skew the numbers way up. Just keep drinking that water and doing what you’re doing and you’ll be good!
If your van has cameras and it catches you sitting on the seatbelt, Amazon will offboard you with the quickness.. DO NOT DO THIS! There is a way around engine off compliance though, turn vehicle off, remove key, hit I've parked, then restart the vehicle.. Mentor only looks for the initial key removal after you've hit I've parked. When its 98 with high humidity Amazon can kiss my ass on the engine off compliance.
Yea I figured they leave their engines on, because I'm looking at it like there's no way you could deliver that many packages, if you have to put your seatbelt on every single time you get in the van and have to open a door every single time, cut the engine off every single time, and run to the door,
I hate having to pee with no porta potty around 😂😂
No good 🙅♂️
The saying is Slow is smooth and smooth is fast lol
I’d rather go slow because I’m paid by the hour…
Yea but wat if ur company wants u to be finished at 6 wen we started at 12 especially wen I got like 200 packages
@@erickestrada2930 yeah that’s their problem
Like how many stops per hr?
@@dantazboxing however many it takes
@Royalewithcheesee what if you don't finish?
I had my few fist days and was so bad for me the hills and stairs on every home and the parking , tell me how you parking on stops , I don’t have space and the street are so small I delivery on Seattle north
Hills and stairs you can’t really do much about😬 As for parking sometimes I just end up parking close enough and walking it. Sometimes you can block the middle for a short period of time but that’s never fun being rushed. Sometimes the ends of streets will have spots, or I’ll block a driveway if I’m delivering at or near that house. Basically I just try not to block traffic, and if I do have to block a driveway I’ll make sure I’m within shouting distance if someone needs to get my attention.
216 stops? Ouch 🤕
Insane.
I do 25 to 35 stops an hour depending on my route your wasting your time sorting them in order I stack the boxeses up right the my packages in front and I get my next delivery ready after first stop and continue through out the day
forgot to mention that we have preinstalled bathroom after emptying the first tote bag! :3
Yikes😬
I'm sorry, what? Just piss in a cup. Don't use the tote bag. That's gross 🤮
And DON’T simp on the nice dogs. That’s my biggest problem. Hell I’ll spend 10 minutes with one damn dog 😂
Very true😅 Goats too if you’re lucky 🐐
@@FridayAdventureClub I love the damn goats and sheep, they’re always behind fence though.
I agree on all ur tips but one.. leaving envelopes on ur dashboard is a hazard....
Where are you in Washington that it's that light out at that hour? My first day delivering was yesterday & I was so overwhelmed then it got dark which made matters worse. I couldn't find addresses in the dark with all the Christmas lights.
This one’s old! I’m in Seattle! Yeah dude darkness + Christmas decorations covering addresses is never fun. Usually I just guess based on the map and any addresses I can read from the street!
I deliver to rural areas so here's a great tip. Go to your map and look for stops that are clustered together. Those are usually residential areas which means there will be street lights and house lights on. Save the residentials for last, and do your country stops first so when night falls, you'll be outta there and then do your residentials. This will cost you about 15 minutes on your rabbit, but it's worth it. It gets very creepy out there at night in the countryside.
What about the dogs man? I have not been doing this for a long time but I have encountered at least 7 dogs in my deliveries that just freak me out i don't want to get bitten. I'm not a dog person so that kinda influences a lot. I basically spend like 20 secs scanning the area for dogs on some spots.
Don’t mess with em! And now on flex you can report an address as having a dog!
Only worry about breeds that have actual capacity to kill you (pitbulls, rottweilers, boerboel, mastiff). Learn about difference between regular vs fighting breeds. Most dogs won't be able to badly hurt you. Report loose dogs to police, on property report to Amazon. Conceal carry if neccessary. Honk in the area so you may notice barking and their presence. Leave at door and knock so you have time to get safe to your car.
Basically don't take breaks either.. But then again if you don't take breaks.. Your hard working time will be converted into break time.. Time we're not paid for.. I've been getting 4 hours of converted unpaid time every check..
Really? I thought 15’s were paid, only unpaid break was if you clock out for lunch. Maybe different in your state?
@@FridayAdventureClub maybe. I talked to my HR manager because I had 82 hours at beginning of last week. Then on Tuesday it changed to 78 hours. Looked at my time sheet and saw 30 minutes have been added for every day I worked in between 12:30 and 1:00. I don't take breaks so I talked to HR about it and found out that if I don't.. Break times will automatically be inserted for at least 30 mins everyday. So now when I'm done with my route.. I take a 30 minute break before I drive back to base. You should try it.. Don't take a break if u can.. Just eat your food on the go and see what happens. I'm in michigan. You can look into it if you want.
@@AnimeIntrospective No way, that’s crazy bro. I think here we sign a paper to opt-out, maybe that’s not a thing in MI! At least you’re taking your break now!
Wow we get paid full 10hr shift even if we finish route early
@@FridayAdventureClub hey just wondering can you just work thru your whole shift then take your lunch break at the end?
When would you find out what your next stop is and if it should go on the dash?
Usually when I’m walking back from my previous stop I’ll look to see what’s next. If I have to drive a little bit I’ll put it within arms reach so I can hop right out!
@@FridayAdventureClub Ok, but would that also mean that that package is already in front with you?
@@keegancan I set it up there so I don’t have to hold it while I’m driving!
I don’t want to learn how to go faster cuz then I’ll be getting 200+ stop I rather do 100 stops or less take my time have my lunch no rush and that’s how it shout be
Fair point if your DSP doesn’t guarantee 9 hours!
That’s how they get you ! I still taking my lunch and take my time .
@@jorgecirino1976 Nothing wrong with that man! I’d just rather work 5 hours and get paid 9🤑
I get 500+ packages daily 300 stops minimum and I start at 10am I'm done by 630 to 7 usually. I dump my totes on the ground place all boxes on my shelve and leave envelopes and bags on ground labels up. That way when I stop I hover over the numbers scan the correct package and go
Amazon in the US?
Crazy thing is my dsp is a minimum of 200+ stops a day we never get no 130 stop or anything the lowest I’ve gotten was 200.
Geeeez. What type of area are you in?
@@FridayAdventureClub I work at the Lakeland Florida logistics, my dsp is T&T logistics,yeah it’s a lot no lie bro,we get it done tho,are shift is from 10 am to 8 pm but we usally get done around 6:30 pm it’s fast paced asf just last week a guy called out and my buddy had to pick up his packages that called out and ran a 360+ route in 8 hours it’s hectic asf man
@@Pronto9mm That is insane. Is it like straight neighborhoods? I’m in Seattle and it would take a legend to do those numbers up here😬
@@FridayAdventureClub man we do everything from businesses to apts and houses! The hubs and lockers eveything they exspect so much from us at this dsp it’s crazy,like people will come in do the training and work 3 days of just running nursery routes and quit,like I’m not gonna lie, when I got put on a 298 package route with 280 stops I almost quit it took me all day… the rescue had to help me plus it went from a thunderstorm all day to hot asf later on in the evening so idk lmaooo I like the job but mannnnn I wish they went easy on us
@@Pronto9mm your dsp is trash then
Sort ur packages by street
I hate this job I been here 3 weeks and currently searching for another job. Amazon just have to do better as a whole
Hello guys can I get any help how to start work with Amazon with own van
Hi! In US your best bet is Amazon Flex!
Also why do you have to go quicker does management make you?
More time to shoot my videos🤫😂 No, nobody’s ever asked me to go quicker! My DSP is pretty chill!
Yes some DSP’s require you to be at 20 stops per hour
@@jofig15 Yeah I didn’t realize but dispatch can see a little bar that tells if your ahead/behind on your route!
@@FridayAdventureClub yea you have to be above the grey line
I45 for a busy day???my Dsp stay over 180
All depends on your location!
what if you don’t have time organize your bags
It’s worth it in my opinion! Time spent organizing up front makes it easier later on!
@@FridayAdventureClub you only have 15 minutes at the station so to organize everything would take time which could be 10-20 packages you could of delivered lol
@@yahmyawilson2530 Ooooh at load out you mean?
Im not liking apartments 😓😓😓😓
Most packages I've done 363
Most stops 197
Insane.
why do we have to rescue others and not get paid for extra that ?
imagine rushing to finish all your packages and then waiting on dispatch to send you rescue a teammate.. Am starting this coming Monday and those are my biggest questions
I get that! Yeah it can be frustrating if you’re constantly rescuing the same person. At the end of the day it’s a group effort, and if routes are consistently not being finished eventually that’s going to hurt the DSP scorecard, which eventually could lead to a contract cancelation. I try to think like okay, we have 7,000 packages to deliver today as a team, how are we going to get that done?
We get paid 50 cents a package on rescues
what kinda music are u into bro?
Top 3 right now:
Crumb
Willis
Smino
Putting envelopes on the floor will make them slide around, I put my envelopes address facing forward in a plastic bin buckled into my passenger seat, I place the boxes (if they're small enough) on the floor in front of the passenger seat. Never ever put your envelopes in the windshield, this can cause an obstruction to your view and it's just not safe. Don't not leave van doors open. Amazon does not care how fast you deriver, if your not doing it safely.
Good tips. But drink of lot of water is wrong.
More of a milk man yourself? 🥛🤔
@@FridayAdventureClub milk is the most harmful thing you can drink
@@FridayAdventureClub the best drink is fruit juice but homemade not from shops
@@Blake36 interesting! You make your own?
@@FridayAdventureClub of course everyday i make fruit juice
Bro I be getting 185 stops 500 pkgs it be crazy for 1 Person
500?😱 Step van? Commercial stops or apartments or what? That’s a lot.
2:40 u def pee in a bottle we all do it hehe
145 stops is NOT busy lmao
I would also add the level of apathy from management and other drivers about training a newcomer, I mean there must be a huge turnover because nobody gives a f*** about me.
Forget port-o-potties, keep an empty jug on you
Ummm there no time to do that an definitely no space
We’re you be peeing at ? Lmao

Is it mandatory to wear the baseball cap?
Nope! Just keeps the sun out of my face!
Lol makes sense, I’m about to start but I’m nervous not sure if it’s worth it or not.. Do they give you full uniforms like shirts shorts and everything?
@@freddyfreddy42 Yep they should have everything for you! Polo or long sleeve, pants or shorts, and hat or beanie depending on the weather, and you can usually ask and they’ll get you what you need!
@@freddyfreddy42 So are you still working there or did you quit?
Never started seems too sketchy..
Teach us to use maps for speed
Like Google maps? Or the rabbit map?
@@FridayAdventureClub the rabbit
@@andrewcastillo6785 Will see if I can add that into the next one!
Why add all that extra stuff?
How much harder is it driving the step van?
Visibility is probably about the same but they have a 360 camera that helps a lot for changing lanes/pulling back into traffic, turning radius is quite a bit worse, and obviously a little harder to park. But I don’t really worry much about finding a spot anymore I just try to be quick. But in my opinion WAY easier to organize everything and to be able to get in and out of the truck.
@@FridayAdventureClub Agreed, I just started step and the turn radius isn’t the best, but most big vehicles are like that. But that extra shelf for organizing and being able to fully stand while getting in/out makes all the difference. Way easier on the back and knees, I could never go back to a regular van now.
@@Wins_And_Losses that’s what I’m saying! Once you get comfortable driving the big truck it’s hard to imagine it any other way.
300 ? jesus... Do you ever get lost?
And not all packages can be organized by # Minneapolis is very very horrible with that
Yeahhhh. Usually it’s pretty good up here but there have definitely been moments.
Wtf we do 150-230 stops a day, yall are talking about 100 stops like its hard, wth? 😂😅
Wow
