I'm only glad that I didn't start off using the sticker method my first four days so that I could suffer through reading the same envelope addresses over and over and over again and in turn truly appreciate the sticker method. Sticker method is the only way. People who argue otherwise have never been given 300 packages.
This video just helped me out a lot thanks for making it, haven’t been doing so well on my routes since I started last week, I watched this video and now I’m able to just go right to the correct packages when I pull up to the customers address and scan it and deliver.
@@dogbsas you don't lose time though you make up for that time lost by grabbing your next package immediately rather than go through your entire tote at each stop wasting more time than actually organizing everything
How many packages per stop? I do 10 stops and/or 35 packages per hour average. I have more apartments, vut sometimes it's 1 package to one building anyway. 35 stops an hour it's impossible. Some routes I do are 35 stops, and it takes all day.
@@robertotrno it’s not 😂 if you are organized and can run you can do even more than 35 stops an hour, my first hour I’ve hit 52 stops even with apartments. If you have a certain route you do everyday you can bounce around to get them done. I did 408 packages and finished within 5 hours
I used to do that when I first started sometimes the people in the warehouse put the sticker on the wrong package. What I always do is just unload the whole bag envelopes up front and boxes by the slide door works much better like that
that’s how it’s done when you see the house number your getting the right package and keeps that house number in mind so you don’t go to a wrong house like other people do.
You have to check all the informations before placing the package at someone's door. The sticker method is to find the package. After that you have to check the address. No mistake.
Works real great until you get a white ram 1500 with no shelves and with 350-450 packages and your first tote is all envelopes and your van is cubed out 🤣🤣🤣
Usually if I finish like two totes, I’ll go to my next tote/stop and put same addresses in one tote, get the overflow that are associated with the address and put them together then deliver. Saves time cause all the packages you need are already in the empty tote
That sounds like it wastes an ungodly amount of time. In an entire day of delivering (150-200 stops) I'll average MAYBE 10 minutes of idle time. You take all the envelopes out of the tote. Or visa versa. Now you have 2 places to look for any package. Envelope? It's in the shelf. Box? It's in the tote. Even during peak this is the fastest method to keep your pace high. Sorting individual packages is simply for slow people. it feels fast not thinking about what package to grab. You stop and grab the package and immediately spring out of the truck. Except you spent 10 minutes sorting all of the packages perfectly. Had a 205 stop 393 package day yesterday and I finished in 7 hours... With the first half of my afternoon being all high rise office buildings.
@demeterr6042 I have never had anything but an 850 mentor score and out of the 1900 packages I dispatched last week Ive gotten 2 bad responses. You're one of those people who think this job is hard, aren't you? 99% of stops are front door drops. Takes less than 10 seconds most of the time. My average stop time is :44 because I mainly do city neighborhood routes. I've never had a customer give unreasonable instructions or instructions that take more time than usual. What are you customers requesting of you? Does it take you that long to read and acknowledge " put packages in tote on porch " here's a free pro tip: read the instructions before you arrive at the address.
I take one tote and unload it into the front of the van. I use the second number to help organize the packages. All packages with 4 as the second number go on the floor, all packages with 3 go on the seat and all packages with 2 go on the dash. Basically divide the cab of the van into 3 sections.
Ah yes, the yellow "Sequence Number." You also use the larger numbers above to figure out which totes your "Overflow" corresponds to. Yeah, I've been rescued a few times! Thanks for the video. 😋
Here’s a tip stack the boxes with the drivers aid #s facing the back doors when u load em that way u can open the back and accurately grab what box u need
The stops for sure do not always follow the numbers. My first day I had a really light day with about 120 stops and I followed this plan and finished much later than what I should have. Now that I have been doing this for a few weeks now I realized that doing this is just wasting a lot of time, best thing is to just divide the boxes and envelopes/plastic bags. Keep the envelopes/plastic bags in the tote and take all your boxes out. Sometimes the app will also tell you it is a box when it really is just an envelope, so I believe this method will just be wasting your time considering once you get halfway through your tote it is easier to just find what you need quickly.
You're totally right - sometimes they don't always go in order but if you've got them organized in numerical order, it makes it easy to find the next package anyhow =)
These companies could have your truck loaded in order. Ready to go. With your manifest/handheld ready. Nah. They got you sheep 🐑 loading your own trucks. Which in turn takes up time away from you being in/out of warehouse. Got you’ll thinking and trying to be like FedX and UPS
Thank God you helped - the Amazon videos in app are just not specific enough and I've been on duty 1 1/2 weeks.....got demoted from terrific driver to great driver just because the app doesn't explain to find the yellow sticker. We don't even go up to shelves we have a huge cart of 40 items shoved at us each block.
I do this too. But I leave all the smaller boxes in the tote. I have long arms so I can just reach back and grab what I need. The weakness of this is the inconsistency of the proper labeling of the packages. 10% to 25% of every tote has packages labeled as a (s)box when it's actually a plastic bag. Or (I get this one alot) a plastic bag that's actually one of those brown envelopes. Ok rant over.. My tip is to mame this strategy even better. Organize you first tote this way as soon as your done with loading your van. If you're rushing. At least take out the first stop or 2. And finally.... I know we all just want the day to be over.. But why not just pace yourself? I don't mind being the last one back anymore.. Because Amazon converts my time into 30mins break time every work day. UNLESS I take a break for that day. It has to be at least 30 mins.. But we're being robbed at least 4 hours of our hard work after 80 hours.. Just slow down. Chill.. But get the work finished ✔
Yeah it’s just a big race I hate that shit I mean not everybody can do that and be safe I mean drivers be speeding in them rentals for what just to have your picture on the board and a bonus that ain’t really no money
TBH organizing by the yellow sticker isn't always proficient. I'll give you at the end you know how you placed them, but most of the time the route shift the numbers. Meaning you get some that will go low to high or vice versa. Then others it will spilt off the numbers. Starts one way then goes in reverse.
You're absolutely right but if you're looking for 4901, it's 100x easier to find if it your stuff is in order weather it's in the front, back, or middle of the pile. A quick flip through and you'll find it right between 4900 and 4902 =)
@@amazinghomedelivery3080 I mainly just separated by street and I memorize the layout. I just confirm what type of package it is then I'm out. It's quicker than the driver aid number method. I actually use to use the DA way. Plus is you have to jump around one your route to be quicker and spend less time back tracking. You can also combine other totes with the same street. As well as the two three packages that they dump in a different bag.
Not sure what van you’re in but I drive a Mercedes long blue. This past peak season was a challenge when getting 20+ totes & 20+ oversize. Idk if I can explain this (pics would be best) but I’ve discovered a system that works. The only shelf I leave down is the one behind the drivers seat. Bags 1-3 I put on top of that shelf. Bags 4-6 underneath the shelf. Bags 7 & 8 stacked horizontally equal to the end of the shelf & beside the slide door. Bags 9 & 10 staked also horizontally behind bags 7 & 8 & bags 11 & 12 horizontally beside 9 & 10. Now, your next row can be stacked vertically. I like to go from left to right while working from the front so bags 13 & 14 on the right yellow fender thing, 15 & 16 in the middle & bags 17 & 18 on the left yellow fender thing. Anything over 18 bags will need to be triple stacked but this will leave you plenty of room for all your oversize. I organize my bags & envelopes by DA# order in a 55L plastic container from Walmart. Yes, sometimes they don’t go in order but 95% of the time, they do. As for my boxes, In most cases, they DA# sticker is barely stuck on the box so I’ll either pull the sticker off or write the last two digits on the end of the box then stack them on end in between the seats so I can see all of the DA#’s. I ALWAYS go out the driver side door & NEVER use the side door unless I’m going in to organize my next bag. I organize my oversize by stop/DA# & get those from the back of the van. Also, I’ve posted pics of my loading procedure on the FB group page Amazon Delivery Driver Venting & Troubleshooting group. Join the group then search my name Darrell Hicks to find my posts. Hope this helps!
I feel like I need to make a video for how to really do this 😂 I’m constantly running and finish early. I finish 3 hours earlier than we are supposed to
The driver helper numbers are hardly ever in order. I organize all evnoples as you did in the video but the boxes I just put up on the shelf and use a marker to write the last two numbers of the driver helper number on boxes. But when you have 30+ evnoples in a tote is the real aggravating shit
Ha ha ha...yea right.....never that smooth...something always lags at loading....and most of the time u need that space u loaded up to put a tote. What was that a 5 tote route...
that’s still time consuming just look at the shipping label for the house number and street. it will feel slow but after a 2 weeks or a month you will get used to it. it takes me a second to find 1 package out of 30 packages. the key is elimination. when you stop you see the house number and street on the rabbit click scan you see what package is it envelope, box, plastic or the whatever they call the random box. when if you need a envelope you get in the back of the van only look at the envelopes for the address you need.
I've been doing house numbers and a sharpie; envelopes go in a big stack (ordered by street name if I have time), and boxes get pulled out one by one and stacked after I write the house number on the side where I can see them.
lol what shelves am i suppose to use? i have no room to even get in the van. sure sorting 10 packages or less like that is great but what you going to do when there’s no space or you have more packages in tote? the biggest thing i see that slows drivers is they seat there playing with the packages trying to get them in order. by the time you organize your first tote i’m already done with 1 or almost done with it. that’s a lot of numbers going on in the drivers mind. in my mind it’s house address and street. this process is gotta think of address, driver aid.
You stick them to one furthest side and you know all of your unknowns are together. You rarely have more than a few at once. Just go through them until you have the correct one.
I have week too learn move fast and I'm fire is me 2nd day they already took one of my work days if n done worse earlier always finish 9 almost close to 10 can seem to figure out
Every tote has its won sequence. The stickers are independent between the totes. Tote 1 may have stickers from 000 to 015. Tote 2 can have 345 to 356, tote 3 134 to 152. So you have to organize the stickers bag by bag, not globally.
Im currently in training. Hope all goes well, really need this job. Thanks for the videos. Ill def subscribe for more tips. Im gonna need em. Btw do they expect u to dominate the app and eeevvverything u need to do in the hundreds of different scenarios? The app looks simple but it seems like u gotta go a whole bunch of stuff for different situations.

Ive always been a sluggish person, very low energy. (No, i dnt weigh 400 lbs. 210 thanks to the pandemic) imma try to survive at least 2 weeks.
Lol. Well, you can go to the map and click on the number/address you want to go first. For routes that I know better, I do that for every stop to make it worth it and avoid making u turns.
I put all my plastic bags & evelopes on the dasboard & boxes on the passenger side but first check youre map first to me thats way easier do the nearest stop first even if it says 5 is next to 120 pin i think that works for me o and i ran like a deer 😂😂😂 too
Probably. Some of the drivers at my DSP came from other DSPs. So it's not a problem itself. But if Amazon cut you off, it's because you were not compliant or did cause too much issues with customers.
Nope! We don't care how you organize, but get those boxes & envelopes OUT of the tote! There could be anywhere from 5-30 stops in each tote, it's a gigantic waste of time to dig through it!
@@amazinghomedelivery3080 I guess I would have to see what you mean. I would get confused if I didn’t know which packages came from which colored/numbered tote.
i organized when i first started, now i just dump bag & separate boxes from envelopes… takes the same amount of time if not more organizing than just looking for the nunber
This is what I'm feeling. Especially in the passenger seat. Tgde problem comes with the overflow when they aren't labeled well. Have to waste minutes looking for a box because the sation didn't put it in order.
If I can I just put all my boxes from whatever bag the app wants me to work out of on the right side of the shelf behind the drivers seat then I spread the bags envelopes out to the left on the same shelf and I pick from them easy to see the numbers and grab and go oversize I just find it grab and go
I usually throw packages for the same building in one tote and drag it to the business…if I have time I will write down the suite number with a sharpie on the package in big writing to see it better!!!
Yeah taking that much time to sort through and order every single package for all 14-20 bags is gonna add up. Too much extra time wasted on that method. Honestly I just put the packages on a shelf and look through them its not that hard or time consuming
How come there are no videos on people organizing vans with 14 totes and 30 plus overflow????? I see people talk about how they do it all the time but never any footage of such thing
This was a TRAINING video - it took about an hour to film because we wanted to be able talk through each step. I can't take a full route driver off the road that long to do a TH-cam video. We're already talking about doing a full-day ride along so stay tuned!
You should be organizing each tote on the floor of the side door of your van. Organize them In bundles of street names. There is absolutely no reason why you should be stepping in and out of that truck more than 10 times in a day. You should only be stepping in and out that van once per tote. Come on people work smart not hard.
Try that in upstate New york where many stops are 1/4 mile away from each other or have 1/4mi long driveways. You'll be walking hours to deliver 10 packages from 1 tote!
The reason each driver works differently is because Amazon and its “smart” engineers are incapable to find an efficient way to sort the packages. Vans should be pre-loaded with all the packages without stupid totes.
I start about 4 days ago and I've been getting faster. The route doesn't follow the aid number but i still organize to that way when i get the stop i can know where the package would be depending what the number is. example. 1112 1113 1114 1115. phone says 1115 and then i know that the package is at the end of the pile instead of looking at all the numbers
@@drama2u that’s their problem and don’t feel bad that they are unless your getting paid by route. your getting paid to work 10 hrs so if it takes that long to complete the route then so be it. i get paid hourly but if i finish early i still get paid for the full 10hrs so all i think of is deliver in a good pace without killing myself. marathon and not a sprint is what my manager says.
The driver helper numbers are hardly ever in order. I organize all evnoples as you did in the video but the boxes I just put up on the shelf and use a marker to write the last two numbers of the driver helper number on boxes. But when you have 30+ evnoples in a tote is the real aggravating shit

You stick them to one furthest side and you know all of your unknowns are together. You rarely have more than a few at once. Just go through them until you have the correct one.
I have week too learn move fast and I'm fire is me 2nd day they already took one of my work days if n done worse earlier always finish 9 almost close to 10 can seem to figure out
The itinerary is one tote at a time??
I found the yellow stickers didn’t match my route. So often I still had ti search for the packages:/
Every tote has its won sequence.
The stickers are independent between the totes.
Tote 1 may have stickers from 000 to 015. Tote 2 can have 345 to 356, tote 3 134 to 152.
So you have to organize the stickers bag by bag, not globally.
Is that because they have a lower stop number?
Im currently in training. Hope all goes well, really need this job. Thanks for the videos. Ill def subscribe for more tips. Im gonna need em. Btw do they expect u to dominate the app and eeevvverything u need to do in the hundreds of different scenarios? The app looks simple but it seems like u gotta go a whole bunch of stuff for different situations.
You're in for a wake up call lol. Good luck.

@@FiinalFlaash BRUH LOL my first day was Monday bro.
So...what about when Flex starts you out in the dead middle of your route, everything is in order except the route itself. Hate it!
Lol.
Well, you can go to the map and click on the number/address you want to go first.
For routes that I know better, I do that for every stop to make it worth it and avoid making u turns.
@@robertotr Thankfully, I no longer work with Amazon.
🤩 this was very helpful
Thanks! =)
Why do you guys put the envelopes in front of the boxes?
I put all my plastic bags & evelopes on the dasboard & boxes on the passenger side but first check youre map first to me thats way easier do the nearest stop first even if it says 5 is next to 120 pin i think that works for me o and i ran like a deer 😂😂😂 too
Lmao 🤣 my van be packed asf ain’t got no space for all that until like 80 stops deep into my route lol
Question do you sort more then one bag at the first stop or do bag by bag sorting
Nope just do one tote at a time if not you’ll get confuse that one tote has at least 10 to maybe 14 stops in it
Is it true that if Amazon themselves off board you that you become black balled and can never again work for any other DSP ever? Thank you.
Probably. Some of the drivers at my DSP came from other DSPs. So it's not a problem itself.
But if Amazon cut you off, it's because you were not compliant or did cause too much issues with customers.
The device tells you what color/number to look for, so isn’t it just better to keep the items in the package?
Nope! We don't care how you organize, but get those boxes & envelopes OUT of the tote! There could be anywhere from 5-30 stops in each tote, it's a gigantic waste of time to dig through it!
@@amazinghomedelivery3080 I guess I would have to see what you mean. I would get confused if I didn’t know which packages came from which colored/numbered tote.
@@keegancan you don't organize all the bags at once. One at a time. Organize the tote, deliver it, organize the next tote
i organized when i first started, now i just dump bag & separate boxes from envelopes… takes the same amount of time if not more organizing than just looking for the nunber
This is what I'm feeling. Especially in the passenger seat. Tgde problem comes with the overflow when they aren't labeled well. Have to waste minutes looking for a box because the sation didn't put it in order.
If I can I just put all my boxes from whatever bag the app wants me to work out of on the right side of the shelf behind the drivers seat then I spread the bags envelopes out to the left on the same shelf and I pick from them easy to see the numbers and grab and go oversize I just find it grab and go
Do you sort your overflow the same way?
You can. I have two videos on my channel if you wanna check it out.
What about the over size?
You can put them in order by the yellow sticker as well
So I’m from New York but now I move to PA can I work with ny driver license from ny.
Except that they should start closer to the wall. And maybe don’t stack the boxes.
Thank you
it'll be so much easier if all of the numbers were the same for each address.
That sounds good indeed. 🤔
Instead looking for 23 different numbers for the same budding, we would look for same numbers on 23 packages. Way better.
But the thing is that the system recognizes any apartment as a different address/location.
Even same apartment packages have different stick numbers.
This is hard when u have 27 totes and 30 over flow
Can ya'll show how to group packages like at a multi suite buisness building or apartments?
If you have totes full of apts just sort them out by apartment #s and put em together by apt number i.e. apt 1005, 2007, 3004 etc. that helps me out
I usually throw packages for the same building in one tote and drag it to the business…if I have time I will write down the suite number with a sharpie on the package in big writing to see it better!!!
How to pack a full load at Amazon. Any techniques?
I really envy how empty this van looks 😂
It's a training video 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
@@amazinghomedelivery3080 my thought still applies. Take a breath yo 😬😂
Please make more videos
Alot of the packages be damaged so you can't even see the numbers
Amazon sucks no matter what you will be over work with the amount of unrealistic stops
Nah ! Dude I spread 2 bags in the front seat and I’m able to finish my 188 stops routes in 5 hrs
Are you still using this? People faster than me say they just organize by streets.
Yeah taking that much time to sort through and order every single package for all 14-20 bags is gonna add up. Too much extra time wasted on that method. Honestly I just put the packages on a shelf and look through them its not that hard or time consuming
Hi,
Katherine?!? That is my name!!
Nobody got time to do all that with 320 plus packages
It'll save you time at every stop - we do 200 stops / 400 packages and a lot of our drivers use this method to organize =)
How come there are no videos on people organizing vans with 14 totes and 30 plus overflow????? I see people talk about how they do it all the time but never any footage of such thing
This was a TRAINING video - it took about an hour to film because we wanted to be able talk through each step. I can't take a full route driver off the road that long to do a TH-cam video. We're already talking about doing a full-day ride along so stay tuned!
👍👍👍👍👍
What is the salary for drivers
20.23/hr in Denver plus bonuses and overtime
You should be organizing each tote on the floor of the side door of your van. Organize them In bundles of street names. There is absolutely no reason why you should be stepping in and out of that truck more than 10 times in a day. You should only be stepping in and out that van once per tote. Come on people work smart not hard.
Shut up
Do you get out from the driver’s door for each delivery?
Try that in upstate New york where many stops are 1/4 mile away from each other or have 1/4mi long driveways. You'll be walking hours to deliver 10 packages from 1 tote!
Just scramble through and find the address lol
Lol yea until you have a tote with 50 packages
The reason each driver works differently is because Amazon and its “smart” engineers are incapable to find an efficient way to sort the packages.
Vans should be pre-loaded with all the packages without stupid totes.
If I could only exchange my legs for a drone
brosky trust me u wont have the time to do all of that
Not so easy when you have 16 totes and 25 overflow boxes all crammed into the back of your van..lol..
Oh man that’s so slow
All lies lmao you have to move so fast you really don’t have time to organize just in my opinion
Facts!!!!!
If you do you have to do it early or you just straight up fall behind in the first hour.
@@stoiccrane4259 how many stops you think you have to move quick on
@@stoiccrane4259 its the rental vans that I don't like
@@BLACKMAN4815 They put me in a u-haul and made sent me to deliver in a city comparable to New York. know the feeling.
When you have like 15 to 19 bags you can't afford to do that all day time is everything throw it in the front keep it moving lol
Let me see - take 60 seconds to organize my tote one time or spend 60 seconds at each stop looking for each package...hmmm.........🤷🏻♀️
That takes too long lol
We think it takes longer to dig through the whole tote at every stop =)
Amazing Home Delivery i don’t i put each pkg on the floor
@@matiuhs do your thing! Everyone has their own way, this works for us =)
@@amazinghomedelivery3080 do you sort one bag at a time or do you do 2 bags or 3 bags at once then deliver???? Thanks
I start about 4 days ago and I've been getting faster. The route doesn't follow the aid number but i still organize to that way when i get the stop i can know where the package would be depending what the number is. example. 1112 1113 1114 1115. phone says 1115 and then i know that the package is at the end of the pile instead of looking at all the numbers
Try to write down the apartment or house number in big writing on the package for organization. I find that helpful. Always carry 2 sharpies with you.
why is everyone trying to be faster? the only speed you need to have is done no later than 10hrs .
@@russ1376 I’m just trying to not be last…most of my coworkers are so fast and they have time to come rescue me
@@drama2u that’s their problem and don’t feel bad that they are unless your getting paid by route. your getting paid to work 10 hrs so if it takes that long to complete the route then so be it. i get paid hourly but if i finish early i still get paid for the full 10hrs so all i think of is deliver in a good pace without killing myself. marathon and not a sprint is what my manager says.
The driver helper numbers are hardly ever in order. I organize all evnoples as you did in the video but the boxes I just put up on the shelf and use a marker to write the last two numbers of the driver helper number on boxes.
But when you have 30+ evnoples in a tote is the real aggravating shit
I write down the house or apartment number with a sharpie on the package to easily find it …
