Working in Rivian's Electric Delivery Van During A Snowstorm
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 20 พ.ค. 2024
- Another day working at Amazon. Today we'll be testing how well the rivian electric van does in the snow. When it snows in New Jersey, it's usually all or nothing. And with the state calling a state of emergency, we'll see how much snow we'll get and how well these electric vans do.

It's been freezing out lately ❄ Stay warm out there everyone 🔥
nice video
Hey Chris I really like your videos tomorrow is my third training day at the Bronx
@@gwa887 best of luck!
hey Chris. what to expect on day 2 training? thanks
W bodyarmor I love that drink
When you walked Into that 1 guy’s office, I thought this was an episode of Hoarders. 😲😂
😅
Same, lol...I was like: bro, clean up a little bit.
Very interesting space lol..
I bet he's a genius though
Did he say "big box of whipetts"?
You guys don’t get enough credit and that when you do it’s still not enough. Kudos to you guys delivering for Amazon to make ppl happy
Why does everyone need credit now a days? I'm a volunteer EMT who does not get paid and I don't look for credit/thank you's yet I work in all sorts of weather and in all sorts of emergencies. He's getting paid to do a job he chose to do. Credit is only due when you go above and beyond your job because going above and beyond is not part of your job title.
@@hayitsj21 that’s my opinion. I know he wasn’t looking for it. Just based on what he was talking about , I can’t imagine doing that line of work in a daily basis. Why you hating that I’m giving him and Amazon drivers credit?
no one gets enough credit lol i work for my local town doing sewer water and roads everyone just bitches yet i work 100s of hours of overtime a year plowing roads and maintaining sewer lift stations and fixing water main breaks all this can happen during crazy storms cold weather super hot i get called at 2 in the morning to go pull a lift station pump covered in shit and have to fix it... yet local people to my town just complain on the village page over the tiny little thing lol not really complaining i mean i do get paid but its just funny that those same people will talk about how hard the bigby girls work yet in the same week complain about the village workers....
@@hayitsj21 thank you for what you do
@@hayitsj21 Poor guy, you deserve credit too
What a difference to deliveries in Germany! It's very rare for an Amazon parcel to be left on our doorstep. It is either left with the recipient or a neighbor or dropped in the letterbox.
Your lying Amazon deliveries ONLY leave the package without even trying to ring the bell!
In Sweden they often leave you to collect it at nearby shops and grocery stores
Usually they get thrown or kicked at the front door and then they get praised for doing so
Also hier bei uns werden die Pakete mittlerweile auch einfach vor der Tür abgelegt. Es wird zwar geklingelt, aber der Bote geht dann auch direkt 🤷♂
@@Wubbadubbadubdubur American so u know how American Amazon works it’s prob not the same thing in other countries
State of emergency for 3 inches of snow lmfao growing up in Wisconsin we walked/drove to school in that daily during the winter 😂
Being from Wisconsin i can confirm that school doesn't cancel for a little bit of snow or cold
This!
Dang the 9:38 mark . I could never work in that condition let alone ever step 1 foot in there .
I thought the same thing, I could never do it
Shouldn't he blur out the faces?
@@ad3mn kind of weird to film in someones apartment too
This guy is working out of that place, its just paperwork everywhere not filthy and rotten food
As a mail guy, I recommend nitrile gloves/latex gloves as a base, they work better then anything and still being able to go through mail so will be good for packages too, and fly fishing gloves if its really cold, check em out!
7:05 that third person GTA view, nice xD
Was that a drone
@@christopherjameswright9614 No probably a camera on a stick
@@christopherjameswright9614that type of camera has a “invisible” stick so it kinda looks like a drone
Actually pretty weird for your delivery driver to have
You guys work so incredibly hard. Salute to you and many thanks.
watched a couple of your videos tonight and HAD to subscribe. Love the content, love the work you do and I'm sure I speak for many when I say your work is appreciated and thank you! Keep up the good work and amazing content!
That VACUUM CLEANING store reminds me of Breaking Bad 😂 8:19
probably is lool...
Hello, I need a dust filter for my Hoover Max Extract Pressure Pro Model 60, can you help me with that?
your videos are a breath of fresh air. I hope most people would kindly leave snacks by the doors for the wonderful people who delivers what we order.
you deserve a HELLL YEAHHH!!!!!!
You seem like a very nice guy and it was a total treat to watch your workday :) Keep on trucking and keep safe. xoxo from Zagreb, Croatia
Super Rural zone for me - Amazon Flex. During a recent storm 4 hour blocks were going for $180, and *nobody* took them. That should say enough about how Super Rural zones are handled here! The station never closes even when multiple roads are closed, but the Flex drivers here have learned the hard way that it's not worth wrecking one's car or getting stuck for hours for any money! Especially since we still get punished for returned packages!
yeah. these packages can wait!
Excited for your next vid. Your positivity is contagious.
dude this vid was honestly so good and i wish you the best man. thanks for the entertainment
Just got hired at Amazon a month ago and your videos inspire me to go hard ! Keep up the good work bro ! My dsp is chill and pays me 22 an hour so my checks come out awesome lol
One big drawback to the EDV is that driving faster on the highway drains the battery faster, and the heating also takes away range. My DSP is pretty good about switching my route in the country for a route in the city so that I can stay in the EDV, and the step van driver can have an easy day.
Even though I get put in the city, I still have a bit of a commute to make on the highway. I just stay on the service road or a boulevard heading the same direction. Saves me about 50 miles
yep. came back with 53% at the end of thhe day
Do you have heating and if so did u use it ? @@LaosHouse
I only recently started doordashing for couple hours per day as an upcoming high school graduate and now I kinda realize how much respect people like you deserve. Delivering so much for so long is pretty stressful to say the least
I just saw one an Electric Van in Minnesota today, and was wondering these questions. Damn AI! Thanks for the upload
😅
Addicted to your videos since I began to work as an amazon delivery driver 😂
appreciate it gabriel
How you like it so far?
I love this electric because it shows you the direction what house first to deliver and nice content btw from Toronto
i miss ur vids man wya!!!
So that snowstorm today made me think of this.. I'm excited for the new video testing the Rivian if you were planning to make one. Great content as always 😀
I like your video you’re very friendly and humble keep up the great work! Greetings from Miami Florida stay warm and drive safely
Yay new video! Always love your content Chris!
np google slide guy
always happy to see another upload! stay warm bro!
stay warm squid
Ay Chris I try to watch when I can! I work for the Cleveland station and man I'm surprised they still had us deliver, I'm just glad I wasn't stuck on a rural route!
Love the videos you make working at Amazon fun and sowmtimes I take time to record myself delivering
It is inspiring to see people who truly love what they do, since finding a job that you love and that fulfills your passion can be a lengthy process, and sometimes you don't find it. The more passionate you are about what you do, the more likely you are to succeed.
This was super fun to watch man!
Start driving on Thursday. Enjoy your videos a lot. They really are some of the better videos on this platform👍
this comment means a lot. thank you for noticing 🥺
New upload from the 🐐 lets go. Could feel your disappointment at the lack of snow lol. It's snowy here too. At least it wasn't raining!
6:43 - Funny you mention that. All drivers are different and I love being out in the middle of nowhere in tough conditions. I get the AWD van and basically drive through the forest 30+ mins from the station. Those are the fun days 🤙
I don't think I've ever done a route in the middle of nowhere. seems like a vibe
Excellent job dude 👏
Where are u dude? I miss your videos! I started working for a dsp and I love it! I enjoy watching your vids!! U still working for Amazon delivery?
I think he was fired shortly after the collision.
@@360handle why u say that?
Checked the community tab: posted that he’s taking a little break.
First time watching ur video bruh! You cool and chill dude!!
Congrats on 300K views, you deserve it
I love your videos… wish you would post weekly! Been binge watching all of your videos
I dunno why this came up on my front page, but this was relaxing to watch. Of course, be safe out there! If the snow seems too thick or im just not sure if theres ice, i crouch down like an old person, really helps with my balance!
This video kept on going on my fyp for the past week, so you know I had to watch it
Hello. I'm a new subscriber the day I subscribed (which was today) i literally watched 5 videos of yours. I support your channel. Keep it up😀🤪
Hey been 3 months. Where you at what you doing?
Thanks man, nice video.
3 months hopefully they didn’t get you 😔
You're the man 🔥
You should add a pair of YakTrax to your gear. They really help in the snow and ice. As security, we have to wear them around our sites and they really help a bunch.
I was pretty worried about becoming an Amazon driver but you make it seem manageable! I hope the 20 hours of training isn’t to boring.
No it’s hard hard work.
@@vandshome good thing I’m the hardest working person I know with a Can Do Attitude!
@@vandshome it's really not. Labor intensive sure. But not hard. This work is what slaves would be doing.
@@vandshome you think that's "hard hard" work? lmao that's pretty pathetic.
@@hayitsj21 This isn't at all easy work either....? Just because its not straight up manual labor it doesn't mean its not hard work lmao you sound so stupid. If I had to guess you must have a minimum wage paying blue collar job and this is how you take your frustration out. Be a better person and maybe you'll enjoy your life a little more.
dang i cant believe u stuck it out this long. My dispatcher said the avg driver lasts 6months. Great content, man. I could never eat on my route just fluids so i'm always amazed how much u can put away and still be fit😄safe travels Chris
i lasted 1 😅
I'm going on 2.5 years now. It definitely sucks sometimes but it beats standing in a warehouse for 12 hours, which is pretty much the other options in my area.
He did go through 2-3 DSPs though to find one that's bearable to work with 😅
My european mind cant comprehend that US ppl actually go to Burgerking for like lunch on a workday
A lot of us in the USA think the same.
Nice POV I'ma sub! Keep up the great work!👍
This is a great atmosphere
Cool video, it's still funny to see how others cope in these weather conditions. For us it's not just 1 inch of snow but 40 and its a normal day for us. The slippery stairs are not a problem for us because the owner of the house has to ensure that the paths in his house are de-iced. The city has to do everything else like sidewalks. If you are injured, you can sue for damages.
Just subscribed love the content bro. Always keep safe especially when it snows :)
thanks jdog!
Great video well done!
Great working experience, your working environment is much more relaxed than most developing countries, comfortable working environment, work vehicle, clear house number. No stairs, no phone calls. It's important to be born in a free and relaxed country. It will make your life a lot easier and happier. Born in China, you will suffer a lot.
Awesome! More please 😍
Out of all the delivery companies you guys are the most respectful, thank you.
What about trucker that get you your fucking food
@@tysonpost9406 they mean people that deliver to your doorstep. chill lol
New subscriber! Great video pal!
cool dude, I had the same job as amazon delivery driver I loved it but I did it actually in Europe in Austria, interesting seeing the similarities and the differences. I also made a few videos about it. But this new EV Van is fantastic, I wish I could try them out, looks like a fun experience
These are really interesting videos to watch. And nice Sugar Hill Gang reference at 9:55
ive been to work all day... and now im watching you work for some reason
Was kinda cold in Greece too this winter. So glad this poped into my recommended. That phone drop was so scary lol.
Hey buddy been missing your content. Hope to see more of ya 🙂
Awesome video😊 thanks a lot
О, и вы здесь, неожиданно
Whats up Chris, haven't seen any new videos from you in a while. Are we going to see any new content from you soon? Thank you for all of the content that you have provided!!! Been a sub for almost a year!!!!
Used to work at two Amazon locations in Logan Township, NJ, was promoted as a Quality Assurance accociate and yes it was during the holidays, awesome pay but its brutal naturally we were understaffed and the influx of new employees makinf mistakes, I remember one customer got like a 50 inch TV which they didny buy but hey unless they gave it back Happy Holidays to them hahahaha , mad respect for what you do ^^😄😄😄😄
Don't they have XL delivery stations for something that big?
The new trucks look dope.
Wooow its very nice, thats it an electric delivery car ! this is awesome, greetings from Hungary / Europe :) cool video
Very different delivery method to Europe - here the delivery men always ring the doorbell and hand it over in person. Signatures are not always required, but very rarely is the parcel left on the doorsteps. If noone is home, then usually the package is dropped off at the nearest postal office and a note is left to the owner to go and pick it up.
Yeah, that seems like a big pain. Here you can have anything delivered to your door. In some cities they have problems with theives, though.
Haha love these videos also i was wondering what song you were singing😂❤
really cool to find a fellow JerZ Boi channel that's an amazon driver! gotta keep an eye peeled if you deliver to me haha, in the linden area
A lot of snow came down on Friday the 12th here in MI and we were all called back to the station at 5. Much of that snow is still on the ground, people are just not bothering with their walkways.
It's been a while since we had a lot of snow fall down.
Thanks for answering the signature on the video. I am working in KC Kansas and Missouri area and the EDVs won’t last longer than 4 hours so we are back to using the Cargo vans. Country routes are terrible right now.
that's unfortunate. The EDV's are a treat to drive
The heavy Amazon jacket is a god send. Love it.
I used to work as a delivery driver in the city. Black fridays and christmas time was the worst. Wasn't always enojyable running 10 flights of stairs hauling anywhere from 1 to 200 pounds 8 hours a day with my socks wet. 10 inches of snow outside. It was mad. Delivering to suburbs was chill though. At least I didn't have to go to the gym afterwards.
Awesome video bro
You guys are heroes :)
Chris Sing the cool Amazon man great video
Aye bro stay safe out there and drive safe in them vans to
this is why i love england snow like that happens once every 5 years
Is so nice the Rivian delivery trucks are so quiet....we get a lot of deliveries at our condos. And its noticable how nice the lack of noise is with the EV's coming into our neightborhood.
yeah I'm a rural driver and its pretty brutal, having to back down a dirt road for like half a mile for every stop is pretty annoying but it gets insane at night trying to back up and having no visibility, the countryside is another kind of dark. plus were in rental vans they most don't even have working break lights or reverse lights so there isnt any light coming from the back and is next to imposable to see
i pray everyday that i get a normal house route but it doesn't happen
Bro the worst part is worrying about loose dogs them MFS be ruthless
what happened to this channel?
He said "Hey guys Chris here" instead of "hey guys ChrisFix here" so TH-cam had to take him down
Norway and Sweden have really cold winters and their EV sales are a majority of all cars sold there so cold isn't the issue with the car. Issue was with the infrastructure, those chargers that were dying weren't equipped with heaters so they needed a long time to even heat up and start charging at a decent rate and if at all, and the situation with rented EVs for rideshare exacerbated the issue.
LOL in Spain always ring the bell and give the box to the proprietary or to the neighbor
Keep hustling fam, big money moves!
See you at work my boy🙏🏽 stay warm out there - My cousin works in NYC
How does he or she work in NYC? When it comes to delivering around Times Square?
See you Juan
We had a pretty snowy day here in Ohio recently, and I spent 15 minutes trying everything I could think of to get out of a driveway lol. Eventually I figured out how to abuse the van’s traction control system to get out. And then like 5 hours later I accidentally figured out how to turn that off, which would have saved me like 13 minutes if I had known it earlier in the day, but oh well. Definitely a little scary, I thought for sure I was gonna have to call dispatch and have them get me a tow lol
Love it when people ask what's inside the package, man I didn't opened it and watched 😁
This job seems fun, cool delivery fan too.
i live in finland and that is a normal winter day here😁😁
Tip for ya..I know these carriers tell you to back as least as possible but back into every driveway you can it will save you some headaches
Dang, I used to live in New Jersey most of my life and its sad to hear them declare a state of emergency for such little snow. Back in the day it would take at least 6-8 inches before the schools were like "meh, maybe a 2 hour delay I guess" and for businesses to be like "maybe dont come in today or at least be careful on the way here"
It didn’t affect anything whatsoever. I learned to just ignore those warnings here lol.
It was confusing for me as well.
Its because of Murphy and his incompetence on Nov. 15, 2018.
One cannot overstate just how ridiculous that was. We had warnings for a snowstorm, Murphy wanted to save on the budget and was gambling the snow storm wouldn't come. He told all salts and plows to stay off the road over night. Come morning it was clear by the snow in NY/CT/MA north NJ was going to get hit hard. Murphy still had stand down order and did not authorize emergency vehicles to treat the roads. He did not give them the authorization until close to 12 pm. By that time it was way too late and was one of the worst storms for accidents we had ever seen.
Peak snowfall wasn't even 6 inches.
Why did Murphy not give an order until nearly 12 pm? He was out partying like it was NYE on November 14th, 2018 in AC and hung over. Now he is as quick as can be to declare state of emergencies.
My mom and I were forced to move back to Japan from nyc on 11/30. We depended on Amazon too. Even in Japan, Amazon deliveries are great.
Watching from the UK as a delivery driver, I can't believe you can just dump the packages on someone's porch/front door take a pic and that's it "delivered", without knocking on the customers door and hand them the parcel.
No wonder so many porch pirates steal packages, you are literally leaving it for ANYONE to take, HOW is this a secure delivery????
ameridumbs living up to the name!
Porch delivery is an option if your neighborhood is safe, otherwise get it delivered at an Amazon drop off point.
I was an Amazon driver for a few. If you’re in the same shoes.. find a real career don’t get stuck in that comfortable life fellas!
I got my chance to drive the EV back in mid December 2023. Bro the space is just... 😍😍 until 1 day my dispatcher decided to give me over 400 packages with 50 overflows but only 23 stops (you can guess how that goes) 😭😭. I was like it was fun while it last.
As a FedEx driver in Los Angeles I can say we’re blessed to not have snow storms 😅
I love this kind of jobs
Dope video. Sheesh that's the one thing i don't miss about NJ. Lol working in the snow 😅
yeah. considering moving to somewhere warmer in the future
