Glad to see some insight into this, I’m in the hiring process with a afp, been hesitant about it, I’ve been doing local deliveries for a beverage company touching drinks all day 😂
This is perfect 😂😂 I just got a job with Amazon for a freight partner driver and I’m switching from hauling trash in walking floor trailers! It was a great first job with a lot of good people but it was a little too risky with having to climb up and tarp trailers in the wind and rain, plus load pay can get kinda iffy at times. Glad to see you enjoying and I hope I can enjoy it too!
Just came across your videos bro.....just applied for a Afp out here in Modesto CA. excited . And ur video is getting me super excited looks hella chill. I've been pulling doubles for the last 4 years so hopefully I pick it up quick and not have trouble backing up.
Glad you're enjoying the tractor trailer. I've driven class B dump trucks but definitely prefer the class A side of the industry. Keep the videos coming and stay safe out there bro!
@Don Ramón that all depends on location and the company you work for. A lot of places have bad winters which aren't good for dump trucking, but in the south we run year round and work is plentiful in my area.
I was an Amazon Delivery Associate for 2 years, I just got my CDL and I'm moving to an AFP. Thank You for the videos! I have been searching everywhere for information.
are the hours still flexed for all drivers, or more so for the new drivers? You know, "paying your dues" because you aren't a veteran behind the wheel with this company? You know how they do newbies. Glad to see a new video!
Uhm far ass I kno it’s the same for everyone, I talked to a guy that’s been there for 2 yrs he comes in same time of morning as me and deals with the same scheduling
@@kathifidalgo0 I have the part 3 to this day dat I just never got around to uploading I’ll do that tonight and tomorrow I’ll record some more, any specific questions you have let me know and I’ll answer them in the next video
Well just talk to them, tell them you was looking more for some steady work and see if they know any companies that’s running local, or see if y’all could work something out dnt hurt to ask.
Can an individual earn an cdl license and just go work for a DIFFERENT company like Amazon for example, instead of signing an contract within the academy your training in?.
The best way to get your cdl is through a driving school even if it’s a cheap one you just gotta search for them… If you get your cdl through a company they’re going want you to do atleast a year with them or you’ll have to pay the cost of them training you if you break the contract.
FYI if you go with Schneider's training program and get your cdl through them.. if you beeak their contract you only pay 2080 and you can pay it back monthly.
I'm trying to get in. I'm in bolivar mo. Closest one is springfield no openings. Where did you go to apply. I've had my class a for 8 years no experience on tracker trailers. Only worked with class b trucks
I’ve been doing this 7 months and I can say it’s been a nightmare, maybe it’s just my management but the 14 hour shift 4-5 days a week catch up to you and ruin your home life completely. My management tends to put things out of my control on me. I’m quitting as of today. A load was canceled and the yard told me to leave because they have nothing and since I didn’t answer my phone while driving I got days cut from my week and they also lie about shift changes. I was told I would get the morning shift and they put me over night then said they’d give me a different one but gave me one that they knew I was incapable of doing. Also the days they work you can change at any time.
Looking for the same thing.. im also trying to see what’s the average pay like.. im with Werner making 1100 net a week regional but this seems interesting
hello, i got a question. I've got my CDL A and applied for swift and did the orientation and the training. went out on the road and got a really bad mentor. the woman i got was yelling and screaming at everything for no reason. i'm really good at driving trucks. used to drive back in my country a mercedes Semi-truck. and i got experience, but no way to prove it because i was really young. so i left swift after a week of working there. so i was wondering if i can work with amazon like you driving a day cap truck hauling a 53' trailer? and if I can where can i apply? swear to god after having that experience with that mentor like that, i was fucking afraid of doing trucking again. but i love it and want a local trucking job but can't find anything.
Love that this is here to learn a little more of the transportation side of Amazon's operation.

Hey my dad is a truck driver and he works Amazon
How much you get paid a week bro? If you dont mind me asking, also do you a lot of overtime? or is it just 40 hours per week
@@23s8 I do about 48 to 50 hours per week, my position is Solo 2 which are Amazon branded sleeper cabs, my gross weekly is about $1600
3 weeks in doing the same thing. I love it!

Do dump trucks pay good?

Just came across your video can you give me some insight on how this works kuz I haul trash now 😆 but I do roll off boxes
Why don't you check your brake lights for your trailer? (you can use the light check to see your brake lights if you didn't know)
Hi, I am an Amazon driver, I run 250 mile radius of Jacksonville FL. I was born and raised in Baltimore.
Such Amazing video !! Im currently working for Amazon with normal C License but i really wanna do AFP hopefully i do
It’s fun and easy man go get that cdl it’s life changing ! Also please be sure to subscribe to the channel plenty of great content always dropping.
Finally somebody did a video on this
Seems like there’s a marker for this so I’ll make some more
@@rollingwithdre you are legit the only one who makes these videos and im thinking of switching since im at fed ex right now
@@kathifidalgo0 I have the part 3 to this day dat I just never got around to uploading I’ll do that tonight and tomorrow I’ll record some more, any specific questions you have let me know and I’ll answer them in the next video
What’s going Dre. What’s the requirements for getting hired with Amazon freight? I been driving class B vehicles and have a class A license.
Isn’t there like a look Quetion down in South Wilmington, Delaware near a yard of a garbage company called Trash Tech
Amazon location I mean sorry about that
How's the weekly pay ?
Nice video, 2 questions do you work 3 days in a row or spread out in the week? And do they hire students?
They usually put all your days in a row and honestly haven’t worked 3 day’s only 4 or 5
Do you know how I can get on with just being local. Every time I look they have some 4 days on 4 days off thing
Well just talk to them, tell them you was looking more for some steady work and see if they know any companies that’s running local, or see if y’all could work something out dnt hurt to ask.
Are they aways hiring or in need of drivers
@Rolling with Dre i just got my cdl a month ago do you need experience?
Nope you good
Nawwwll Dre u left republic lol 😂 I feel u I left republic also
Do you need cdl experience or will they train new grads
It depends some take no experience some want 1yr experience
How does the whole transfer process work? Moving from one state to another if you already work for afp?
Sorry I dnt really know. My guess is even tho they’re all Amazon each different afp is ran by its own bosses so probably gotta reapply.
That makes sense. Thanks. Anywhere I can message you personally about some other questions?
How much training did you get with Amazon before you started?
As much as you need until you and them are comfortable releasing you.
Can an individual earn an cdl license and just go work for a DIFFERENT company like Amazon for example, instead of signing an contract within the academy your training in?.
The best way to get your cdl is through a driving school even if it’s a cheap one you just gotta search for them… If you get your cdl through a company they’re going want you to do atleast a year with them or you’ll have to pay the cost of them training you if you break the contract.

I'm trying to get in. I'm in bolivar mo. Closest one is springfield no openings. Where did you go to apply. I've had my class a for 8 years no experience on tracker trailers. Only worked with class b trucks
Bro go on drive4freightpartner.com/ and see if it might be another one in your area
@Rolling With Dre closest one is kansas city 120 miles away. And when I do apply for it. It takes me to a not meet requirements
I like your camara 💪🏻💪🏻 what model and name ? Please
Go pro hero 8 black
Do all afp outfit newer rigs ??
Yes from what I’ve seen
Do u need experience for Amazon??
Is this company called "bear pack logistics" out of northern kentucky?
No but there are many different Amazon freight partners
Do they give ya'll qualcomms, or u just have to depend on your gps?
Amazon has its own GPS within its app, so similar to a Qualcomm.
@@rollingwithdre9983 oh ok.

Where can I apply if I currently don’t work for Amazon
Looking for the same thing.. im also trying to see what’s the average pay like.. im with Werner making 1100 net a week regional but this seems interesting
do you guys scale your loads?
Nah the average Amazon load is like 9,000 pounds
Do they give a lot of overtime?
Yeah plenty of it
hello, i got a question.

Just try applying for all of the Amazon freight partners that’s in your area afpjobs.amazon.com
@@rollingwithdre Thanks 🙏🏽
No snow ever
How's the camera policy there
Point system…you can still have a head set just no hand held anything, and if you have a good safety score you get like $350 bonus every month
Do you need any experience or do they hire new CDL drivers
They hire new drivers
How long do you ride with a trainer?…
Depends on how much time you need
Where can I find a dsp that offers this position
Well its not a DSP position it’s a AFP, and just go on drive4freightpartner.com/
@@rollingwithdre is there a AFP that will help you pay for your classes to get your CDL?
@@Th3GaMb3r I’m actually not sure
are amazon trucks manual or automatic
Automatic
Can you use a Bluetooth while you drive?
Yes
where is the place for apply ?
Drive4freightpartner.com
What is the pay??
Facts WHAT IS THE PAY. These videos be cool but people really wanna know what the pay like
Do you work Sundays?
Unfortunately yeah
Where did you apply?
Drive4freightpartner.com
you from memphis?
maryland, you hear that accent
Did they train you?
Driving training no, but you get trained on how to do the job yes, if that makes sense.
What do you mean by you at work through your 30 minute break?
That he was working during his 30 min break probably talking to dispatcher or getting an extra route writing stuff down etc.
@@masterroshi3994 oh
Did your freight partner do hair follicle drug test or only urine?
Just urine
You should mount the GoPro. Camera in your house and film your garbage guys
For realizes
Hi Dre
Wassup man
I’m guessing the drug tests are pretty lacks.
Yeah they just send you to your local testing clinic
If you smoke weed you won’t get hired right?
Idk with the way the laws are now but last time I checked smoking weed was a No No !!!
Are all loads light???
I would say 90 percent of the loads are not even 15k pounds
You don’t get paid what your worth .. this Amazon cdl drivers get paid 22 bucks an hour shame to this slave companies
Why do y'all amazon drivers drive so slow.
Trucks are governed at 65 mph, also have cameras inside and out and we have a performance score to maintain.
Is this guy Mike Tyson?
Did you have a hard time backing up? Did ur AFP train you or just sent you out.
Practice makes perfect, and they send you out with a trainer at first.
