    I started a month ago, love the job. I quit my job sitting on a computer and phone all day for this, love the energy, the push, the outdoors, not being stuck on a computer beaming blue light at you all day, , the money is less but enough for now.

      I've been doing this job at the DBI2 depot now for nearly 6 years and I can honestly say I love it even the days when I sign in and see I've got 176 stops and about 40 of them are multi stops plus our routes are around 40 minutes away from the depot so I'm usually on the 10am wave load get to my area for around just after 11am start bang it out n most days as long as nothing goes terribly wrong I'm done for around 5 half 5 n on my favourite route I can get it done by 4pm also a tip don't just follow the route how amazon have arranged it you will end up on the same road 2 or 3 times I do the route in the order I want

      it's a set day rate regardless of number or parcels/stops/time taken. They try to balance it out between how spread your stops are and how many you get, but most often the Amazon app will generate the worst heaviest impossible routes and you just have to double down and deal with it. A good manager will delegate people who are quicker or had better routes to help the people who are falling behind, but then you feel like a bell because someone else has to take on extra work because of you

      @tristansayers6494 hmm, that's interesting. I work for a delivery company too, as a side hustle, not an amazon dsp just a startup delivery company in London. The company does something similar in that they calculate a route, but its not a fixed payment. What happens is they calculate the miles you'll drive for that route and the average time it should take you to deliver, and they pay you based on that. They also have a system where you can raise delays for things that were outside of your control. Like in london, you might need to park a few streets away at times to avoid getting a PCN. (Drivers are completely liable for their own parking tickets). These delays are then paid for, too.
      Problem is that they advertise the role online as 13 pounds per hour but really when you calculate the number of hours you worked versus the pay, it rarely comes out to that much, especially if you don't raise the delays properly.
      We also have "rescue" missions the way you mentioned. But we get paid for these separately so you don't feel guilty if a driver has to come and rescue you
