I drive for an amazon contractor. I was having a rough day today and then an old man gave me a 20 dollar bill and told me to have a merry Christmas. Really turned my mood around
My parents always leave out packages with sweets and a tip around Christmas and Easter. They're also great with dogs! Ours is kinda skittish around strangers but loves them ever since we started leaving them dog treats too. :)
@@ddennis2430 I’ve worked there about seven months and someone gave me $5. I’ve never been given money before and I was like “What the heck? Thank you!”
bruh as an amazon driver this is so accurate. Youll be walking around pissed off and it just takes one customer to seem very genuine and it can change your whole mood right there.
Do you often wish someone would give you a water (or monster)? Whenever any movers come to deliver/remove large items from my home I always kept a fresh batch of water bottles/gatorade for them. Maybe I'll start doing the same when I expect to receive a large order.
@@badmanmcanderson4819 oh man of course i wouldnt mind. I get a lot of gifts especially water bottles in the summer and a lot of people leave a smorgasbord of snacks and drinks on their front porch and it feels like stumbling upon an oasis in the desert.
except where i used to work i can even say the company s name idgaf. I was very polite and friendly at first and everyone was kind of mocking me for that...fuck these ppl man
Yeah man I load trucks full time and we had this customer come in and I had to lift a bunch of heavy stuff for him the dude didn’t help me out at all but when I was finished with him he just gave me a 20 dollar tip out of no where I’m not supposed to except cash tips like that but I took it I was very thankful for that guy. Part of it for me is the money but the other part is that he was just being thoughtful and it made my day.
TO ALL YOU DELIVERY DRIVERS OUT THERE A lot of us really do appreciate everything you guys do. It really does put millions of smiles on people's faces. I always leave out free cold waters and chips for you guys during the Summer!!
Woo-hoo! As a delivery driver, I was excited and scared to watch this. I laughed up until the end when I smiled. Whenever something like that happens, it makes my day.
Being a delivery driver has its perks. Some days are bad, while others are good. In the end it's a rewarding career that brings a smile to most of the people you deliver to!
@@samuelclark5491it depends . When I worked for FedEx Ground I made day pay and barely scraped by, now I work for Express I make $22 an hour currently ….. UPS pays way better but it’s 10’times harder to get in . Still not a bad gig
I can't even comprehend being a delivery driver like this. I'd spend way too much time looking in the back of the truck for the right package, or triple checking if this is the right address for this house ect. I'd definitely mess up quite a bit and take waaaay more time than I should. Props to all the delivery drivers out there, you literally make my online purchases a reallity. Without you guys, I'd have nothing cool in my house lol. I bet the job difficulty itself multiplies by 10 during the holidays.
Thats pretty much the reason i stopped. Was supermarket delivery in a congested and old city so was also anxious finding the right address and appropriate parking. Just not suited to me but if you can are good with those you can make a decent living off it.
It's like that in the beginning. But after a month or two, you realize you deliver to a lot of the same addresses and can knock out your whole truck without even checking a map, and learn all the streets well.
first 5-6 months are awful and will make you want to kill yourself, eventually you learn how to compartmentalize stuff and it gets easier. I dont work for amazon or fedex but I do work for another logistics company making like $26/hr and have daily bonuses on top of it that pushes it closer to 27.50 for just driving around in a climate controlled van listening to music all day. Im doing way less work than amazon/fedex/ups and I make way more money than them, plus the stories about drivers making 50-80k a year is pretty accurate as long as you have experience, if you know how to plot and run your route efficiently you can actually end up making more than that. You wouldn't believe the types of cars my coworkers drive to work, not in a million years.
@@InfiniteRhombusDHL? Sounds alot better than Amazon they give you tons of stops for not a lot of money. And the cameras are super sensitive have to drive slow. FedEx contractors pay daily so get no overtime.
You get used to it and your scanner or phone lets you know it's the right package. My only 2 biggest pet peeves as a driver for Amazon are the terrible grouping of stops especially at apartment complexes and being forced to do rural areas at night in the pitch black dark, as you're less likely to see loose dogs and many people think you are a burglar.
@@503punxoioioi9 It depends. We get tips even though our contract explicitly says not to accept them (probably due to some legal stuff) but in general it's known that we receive tips. In my country, it's usual that tips are around 40-50% on top of your wage each month. Even the upper management knows but they don't care as long as the packages are getting delivered.
I work in a restaurant and we always make coffees for those guys. It’s great to see how extatic they are when they come with deliveries. I guess the moral is we all should be more humane to each other in those dark times
I'm a postal worker of nearly 20 years and this is exactly how it feels. So many bad packages/deliveries and then the last customer can just absolutely uplift your day.
It is crazy how simple things like getting a drink from a customer or a short interaction with a friendly person can turn around even the most stressful day.
This was super dope. The ending totally reminds me of the time where I was in a piss-poor mood at the end of the day because another customer was a massive Karen, and my boss sided with them and chewed me out. I got to my last delivery, and it was this nice lady who gave me a cinnamon rice crispy treat and asked if my jacket was warm enough because it was cold out 😭 kind people make such a difference sometimes
I did delivery for both Amazon and UPS before and can confirm this video is painfully accurate. One shitty customer can ruin your day but one kind customer can make a huge difference too.
I will say there are a lot more positive people I visit than bad ones. Only time I ever had a bad experience was a couple weeks ago I was entering a neighborhood that starts off flat but to get deeper into it you had to drive up a hill. So my truck is a bit older and you really gotta put your foot on the pedal when going up a hill, so I had to hit 28 mph to even get up it. I am finished at the top and then I drove down the hill, riding brakes which I generally do and this asshole dude pulls out in front of me while I'm going down the hill and he is going 5 mph. I'm thinking to myself that it's an older person or whatever. So I stop at one of the final houses and he stalls about 2 cars lengths in front of me. I deliver the final package, get in then he keeps going 5 mph til he gets to the end and pulls into the middle of the road, gets out and starts yelling at me. I ask him what's going on and he points at the speed limit sign. I ask him what about it and he said I'm going too fast. ??? Was going 28 tops and he wasn't having any of it. He threatened me that I was their 3rd delivery driver and to not end up like the other 2. I was like "dude, I've been on this route for like 8 weeks, i don't care who your other 2 drivers were, I was going 28 mph up a fucking hill with no one on the street or sidewalks. I have to go 28 to at least get up the hill. No please move so I can keep working." Dude just got back in his car and let me pass him. Unsure what compels people to lecture a delivery driver. We get and keep our jobs because we know how to drive efficiently. 28 in a 25 isn't gonna do anything. See loads of people on the daily drive thru subs at 35 mph.
Dude....This hits so hard because I've literally lived this. I once left a package in a shed as requested...And in a clear bag was a chocolate bar and an energy drink. It's the small things.
@@Kid_Charlemagne huh, never thought about that. always worried itd spook the driver or something. usually they just wanna sign and go. (i usually assume they too busy to accept
Try working for FedEx in the country during Christmas season. In a box truck with no snow tires. I’d be walking up hills all day and night, and then someone would always be calling saying they didn’t get their package. Plow your fu€king driveway!
I used to work for UPS. The job is no joke. They are crazy strict about safety standards, and will sneakily follow you around to make sure you follow every single protocol in the damn book. I’ve seen someone written up because they pulled just a little ahead of the white line at stoplights. During Christmas season, you can expect to have several hundred packages on your truck, with sometimes hundreds of individual stops. The pay is good for sure, but that job really is no joke.
Yo im a delivery driver and this is really relatable. There are definitely good and bad days. Depending on what company you drive for, this isn't the worst job in the world.
The UPS drivers really are the special forces of delivery guys. They make good money too but god do they work them like dogs for it. The one that delivers to my store moves like buttered lightning every single day and is always professional. I've been outside when he pulls up and I swear to god if I ever got in his way he'd probably run me over to keep on schedule.
FedEx is decent money until you're out there for 12 hours and you're basically losing money after that... Ever work for the company directly and you're working for a contractor with no benefits or PTO
It’s true. The people we work with or encounter can make the difference between liking or hating our job. Having a manager who understands us and customers who appreciate us is a huge blessing.
@@InfiniteTony its like where something in the foreground is sharp, but the background is blurry, cause you are focussed on something with your camera.
@@NAT-turners-Revenge What sort of credentials would you even need to have to get into an industry like that? Serious question, sounds very intriguing.
@@MMAJOEY69 My dad left his corporate job to be a delivery driver has been doing it for 30 years and made over 100k last year. He works really hard, but he enjoys it for the reasons above.
And make sure the pallet is so fucked up the pallet jack can't fit underneath it, then get it to the back of the truck using straps and, then the warehouse it's going to doesn't have a hyster so it has to go back to the front using straps again so there is room for more dispatches.
These guys are the real goats. I make deliveries in a bigger truck but luckily I only have 14 stops a day. Everything is a 1000 pounds or so. But it’s easy because we have pallet jacks. So I mostly just chill. These small van drivers have it rough.
Im a FedEx driver and ive been doing it for 5 years now. I love this job so much youre alone and have nobody looking over your shoulder. I found my calling and the people make it so much fun you have your good and bad days. Fun fact when we deliver to a house that has snacks and water for us sometimes with a thank you note it really brightness our day and we appreciate it so much something as small as that is a game changer thank you to all the people who do that for your delivery drivers! 😀
As a former UPS package handler. I can tell you it’s harder for the Wojacks working within the processing centers. Our boy Wojack here had skipped over 5 years of loading big rig trailers like a rigged game of Tetris. Then he can get promoted to driver.
I did courier job for some time and the problem was that the better you were, the more jobs you got and never got any praise or more break time for it. I actually took the heavy packages as exercise so that was fine. In the end it started going to a point where you got so many places to deliver that it was hard to get even one break. Just that tiny 15mins for eating. One time a boss went with one driver and was like "this is not tolerable!" when they had only that 15min per day, but ofc they did nothing about it :D It's pain in the end. Great video as always!
That's why you should become a quit quiter. I did it 20 years ago, long before it was a trend. Back then I realised I got nothing out of working harder than expected. As a matter of fact, I just took a bite out of my own salary, because when the job was done, there were no more hours for me to work, thus I did not get paid these hours. Instead of praising my behaviour, it was pure self punishment. Never in a corporate job work harder than expected, unless there is some sort of guarantee you will be rewarded. So I was quicly done with "the hourly wage jobs", where I was always a quit quiter. I became an account executive (basically a salesman for highly speculative trading at a firm I can not mention) and working on provision basis. Did it 7 years, made a nice bit of money, and the last 6 months of that job I became a quit quiter again, only to get paid my normal salary. I used that extra time for myself to start my own business. Now exactly 10 years ago and if I could do it all over again I'd do exactly the same. Just wished I had bought bitcoin back than, the only thing I'd change.
I know know your pain man. I can tell you stories all day. But, after being "taken advantage of" while never getting praise, I decided to freelance. The ability to freely turn down jobs is a gift itself. That way, you can take time whenever you need to.
A long time ago, I took a job delivering ads to every home in large sections of towns on foot. After performing well... too well... they started giving me worse and worse routes. One day they gave me a route that was just houses that were far apart, all with long driveways. After about an hour of deliveries and looking at the rest of the map it was apparent that finishing the route for that day would take more than FORTY HOURS if I walked fast and took no breaks. I just took a bus back to my car and left.
Missed the part where he spends some time between 6 months to several years working part-time inside the warehouse until he has the seniority to get a driving position
I honestly didn't expect that ending. That hit me really hard in the feels! I was a FedEx driver for 5 years until I was banished forever for having a pocket knife. Although thankfully I'm in a better place now, this reminded me of the joy I would get from kids being totally stoked to see you every time. Especially during Christmas. They would freak out with joy when they see you roll up. Even if your whole day was shitty, that one stop would make the world of a difference. A little appreciation and kindness goes a long way.
I'm an delivery driver myself and I can confirm that this video is pretty damn accurate. Blasting music, smoking in the van and ofcourse not wearing a seatbelt to safe time. Makes my day to see the joy on people's faces when their package finally gets delivered. Sometimes I get offered a drink or some money too
I'm at fedex as a driver and everything I see an Amazon truck I always smell pot lmao. I definitely blast music sometimes and I for sure 100% never wear a seat belt unless I'm leaving the terminal or returning to it just in case of cameras. Ain't got no time to keep putting the belt on and off. Driving about 3 to 5 mph slower than usual will actually save so much more time than putting on the seatbelt.
Drove part time for FedEx during high season once. This is exactly how it goes. NICE work painting this very clear picture. Hard work is in any job, and just because somebody makes it look easy doesn’t mean it is. Just means they’ve done it for a while.
OH NO IT DOESNT END THERE!!! When you get back after your route is done and they have a second route for whatever reason. When your coworker calls off from work and you have to finish there route and yours with the same time. When dispatch activity messes up your route by not adding the right details. Scheduling the pickup or drop off time at a bad time ie. Business doesn’t open for another 2 hours. You stayed on route long enough to catch the major traffic for the day. In Houston it’s 2:30-7:30 PM everything takes an extra 20 minutes. When someone purposely tries to make you hit them for insurance money. When you get pulled over for something dumb and the company doesn’t pay the ticket. When a coworker messed up a part of your delivery. Doesn’t give you the right stuff, forgot something, needs to add 1 more thing, etc. The location you deliver to is a corporate building and there rent a cops take their job to serious and actively block you from doing your job by telling you to move your vehicle, sign in, oh you need a badge, I need to call ahead for you, I need to walk with you to the client, how long you gonna be here??? And you can’t forget the abysmal pay for literally risking your life every day with no benefits or really crappy ones. I could seriously continue but you get the point…
Any Service based work where you're dealing with People is tough, especially when you have to interact with rude jerks and assholes who can ruin your day no matter what. Always be nice to People who work in these Service based industry, it can make their day.
That last interaction is just like my kid and I. Mostly on hot days, I ask if they want a soda or bottle of cold water. To me it is important to teach kids respect for everyone, including those who deliver packages, collect garbage, deliver pizza etc.
I've been doing a a similar job for 4 years now, i just deliver mail & smaller packages though. That ending was extremely wholesome & relatable for me, always happy when i experience something along these lines. :)
As an Amazon delivery driver, I agree with this video. There are days when the route is too heavy, there are 5-story apartments without an elevator ordering super heavy things, we usually go up more than 100 stairs a day, there is no shortage of rude and ungrateful customers, the weather is super hot (specifically the van) and when we can't take it anymore, we have to deliver to a child who makes our day. My favorite part of this job is the children, I really enjoy making them happy.
Been a mail carrier for 6 years it has had its ups and downs but at least I don't feel trapped in an office building with managers watching over you all the time.

@@Masterblaster30007 no it is great. I made career that means i have job security and i have my own route and i will just get yearly raises as well as having plenty of overtime opportunities. I am very thankful.
@@duhgreat8449 I agree. They're union definitely takes care of them BUT if you're a route owner and have 3 or 4 driver's working for you you'll love more comfortably than any position at UPS. Nothing beats self employment. Trust me. 👌
I was a milkman for 18 yrs. It was a great job with it downfalls, but the Michigan winters finally got to me. Now I’m a custodian and it’s a pretty peaceful job. I love to learn, so now I spend my days with my headphones on learning and cleaning lol
@@UniUnknown every restaurant uses/sells milk. Just because the current generation of 110lbs men don't believe in drinking milk doesn't mean the rest of us don't drink milk.
Having worked as a preloader for UPS for 4 years and having done seasonal helper jobs a couple times, its clear that Low Budget Stories has worked there as well
Broo! This is crazy accurate! I joined Amazon thinking that it would be the best job since I love driving and love being by myself….I ended up quitting on my first day after an 11 hour shift, not being able to eat AT ALL and not being able to finish my deliveries because I was new and my van was PACKED!
this is basically what happened to me. i used to work at an SEO agency, I got laid off and I was and kinda still am happy to be a delivery driver now for Amazon. i make about the same amount plus the benefits he mentioned. no more douche canoes at the office.
I used to deliver for Amazon. It’s so true that such a small gesture of kindness from the customer can completely change your mood. Delivering in Florida during the raining season could get a lil rough tho haha
I worked an Ad-hoc courier job after buying my own van, so working as a sub-contractor for a big company and you start closer to home and they give you a work phone to accept new pick-up orders as you go. I liked it at first, plenty of pallet on pallet off, but they'd overload you and it was a case of too many chefs spoil the broth. The work phone was obnoxiously loud, and you'd get emails from work saying "Don't be using your phone while driving" but if you didn't press accept after a certain time, they'd ring you 😖 I live in W Aus and the baggage claim on Saturday is staffed by the Melbourne branch, bunch of passive aggressive arseholes asking why you can't drive 100km in 30min over numerous highways 😆 I live north of Perth and requested the northern suburbs, then they'd send me over an hour one way down south, then wonder what was taking so long. When i quit, they took my 2 way radio, which I'D FUCKIN PAID FOR!!! My hubby and I run our own thing now and we've been helping local companies grow, going to get my Dangerous Goods/ ammo and have a fat time 😎
fuck that, its easy when you grew up not gaf about what people think anyway, id rather not destroy my body any more than i'd have too and get payed more doing the easier white collar shit If I had the option.
Very accurate. I delivered for the 'Zon for a couple years. A few things were left out, though, like finding a bathroom, trying to follow confusing directions and getting lost, avoiding being mauled by country dogs, pausing/unpausing the podcast you're attempting to listen to several thousand times, and being punished for being fast and efficient by having to help sh!ttier drivers after you finished your route. That last one is definitely a crying red-faced Wojak moment.
well it depends, I never had trouble finding a bathroom since in europe you have lots of cafe's around the corner, same for the dogs. These from wojak are just the general things, everyone has, the rest depends on the circumstance of the individual
Don’t forget people’s treacherous ass front yards, especially at night. For whatever reason, people never leave their goddam lights on at night and neighborhoods no longer have street lights that work. No wonder crime is up: they all have a place to hide!
I work for amazon & I never complain about having to rescue other drivers. We’re in this as a team & I would appreciate if I get the same in return so I help back. Some of us drivers do struggle in some of our routes.
1:00 I worked at UPS in my early twenties and this is the type of thing that all the drivers told me. It took more than four years but I finally listened to them, went to school, got a job in IT, and have been working from home for the past nine years. I no longer break my back and I earn good money in the comfort of my own home. Wojak is in for a terrible surprise .... 💀
@@tmc3178 I just got a socialized associate's degree in Information Technology, and four certifications (CompTIA A+, Network+, Security+, and Microsoft's Windows 7 Configuration and Management). You can of course get higher degrees and much more difficult certifications, but if you're going for entry-level this will put you way above the other guys who are starting and will give you a better chance at a higher wage. A lot of employers don't actually care about the education or the certifications as long as you can prove you know your stuff. When you don't, you go to school and get those papers lol It worked out great for me. I went to a two-year college (trade/tech school) that teaches you all the stuff you need to know and leaves out most of the fluff that you would get from a regular junior college or university. I highly recommend it if you want to get into IT and want something more than a Best Buy computer repair job lol
I was an Amazon driver half of 2022 and all of 2023. I swear I felt like people were trying to make my job impossible at times. Three cases of water to the third floor of an apartment, German Shepard left out to try and eat me, flash floods out of no where, the list goes on. To any people who tip their delivery drivers in any way, y’all are saints. Like literal saints. Would always make my day if someone left cold water bottles out or a treat during peak. Y’all are what give us the motivation to keep going.
I drive for Ups. So this was awesome. You should make a part 2 about rural drivers. Long bumpy dirt driveways with a signature required only to find out they’re not home. Also vicious dogs and the owner says “He’s never bit anyone before.” Meanwhile he’s barking and growling 😂
During the Halloween and Christmas season, I always leave some candy, snacks, and drinks for the delivery drivers. You guys work miracles and your employers don’t give you guys enough credit.
Having worked for UPS for nine years after starting at Christmas, this is pretty accurate. However, that heavy box would have been "driver released"; if not a prohibited package, in a heartbeat.😊
I used to work package delivery for a vegetable delivery place. Loved that job, would still be there if the pay wasn't abysmal. Its such a breath of fresh air if you've been working a job where you have to deal with people all day long. It sparked my love of driving, and inspired me to get a class B CDL, and then a class A. Now I'm an OTR trucker. No job is perfect, but package delivery is pretty great as far as lower wage jobs go, would highly recommend it if you're about to go insane working retail. Get a class B if you want something similar but with higher pay.
Very accurate. I work as a driver assistant with UPS just for the holiday season, which means I don't get a truck but a dolly I have to push around the city with packages up to my chin. About 95% of interactions with people are good but there are definitely some things that irritate you, like when they don't put the number for the apartment suite or having to wait for the elevator which most are always under maintenance. I don't know why but a pet peeve for me is when I hand them a package and they look at it like they have no idea what it is, and ask: "Where is it from?" Or "Who is it for?" Like, you're the one who ordered it. What do you think, genius?
I'm an Amazon driver and that shit always cracks me up too, I'll hand someone a package and they'll ask "what is it?" Like how tf should I know you're the one who ordered it 😂😂😂
@@christopherpape4823 Not necessarily. I had a housemate who ordered heaps of crap from those late night infomercials. I was unemployed at the time, and also home signing for crap he ordered. I didn't know what it was, and didn't care.
As part of training at Canpar, I took a ride with a delivery guy for the whole day. He was an exec and got divorced and lost most of his estate, and decided to live the simpler life. Coloured his hair blue and drove a delivery truck around. Said it was the best thing he did. He really did enjoy his job.
As someone whose been doing this for over a decade now, people that truly appreciate what you're doing is one of the few things that keep my sanity in check. I've met some really great folks over the years. I have developed connections and relationships that I wouldn't want to be without. I get the occasional token of appreciation, i.e. coffee, pastry or other insignificant things, but a 'thank you' goes a long way too. It's been a mixed experience, but it's certainly been an experience.
When I ran lemonade stands with my friends as a kid, we used to get hyped whenever the delivery drivers would stop for us (not many did. It was exciting because it was a guy with a truck and it was unique) At the time we didn't know how much that excitement probably made their day. In my area especially they have difficult routes that probably create some long, tight scheduling for them.
A town I delivered in for UPS, I would do the same and stop for a drink from these young girls on their property and the mum would be outside and I would always give them like 5 times as much money then they would charge for it. Just to see them get all happy. It was adorable eh.
just started as a delivery driver now is my second week, very nice video, i know the feeling at the start when you have a lot of packages and some are heavy.
I am actually on a "friends" term with my delivery driver. I ordered enough packages for him to know me personally and I am always kind and pleasant to him. On several occasions, when I was not at home, we actually met half way somewhere, just for him not to do a useless second trip. He is a Good, Hardworking guy and deserves Respect.
As a delivery driver i always ring the doorbell first to know if the client is home and only after i would carry such a heavy package only to the building entrance, not his door. Carrying it to the clients door is roocky mistake, other than that really accurate, made my day 😄
Yeah I agree. I only have 1 location that is a retirement home for the elderly and they have loads of assistance there. I always leave the package at the front desk mainly to save on time for me but also because the packages ordered are incredibly small little boxes so it's not a big deal.
That ending was uplifting. He shouldn't have expected it to be all sunshine and roses, so I feel like in the end he got a more mature outlook on the job and now he enjoys it despite of knowing the bad parts. Growth!
Been there and done that, I remember working for Amazon at the beginning of COVID until half way to the end. Year and a half of pain with plenty of suffering. Glad I got out when I did!
That f****** thumbnail is spot on. Except usually the FedEx driver isn't in a FedEx shirt probably smoking weed. It's so wild the difference between companies
I was a mailman in Germany. We also delivered packages. I was doing it from October until March so it was pretty cold and rainy. The worst thing is when you have a multi story building with families that order daily but are never home. The only one home was a grandma that almost never ordered something so i didn't want to bother her every day. The most bothersome thing about the job in Germany is the parking. You always have to risk a fine. A colleague got two fines in one month. It's already hard enough to find parking with a normal car but as a delivery driver you have a longer car and also have to park not too far away
Oh my gawd, you lived my life! I moved to Berlin in January a couple years ago and worked as a Postbote from Feb-September. It got hot as the Hölle that summer and we had no AC in the minivan. I drove from 6 in the morning until 6 in the evening, with a nice pause for lunch. My favorite part was going to the military barracks, the soldiers were the coolest people, and invited me to take my lunch break with them on the military base on my last day. The work was so exhausting but I loved my time there
Wow the beginning especially was so accurate. I was thinking I finally found a job (Amazon) that suited me and then the boss or dispatch claimed I had taken a 45 minute break, which never happened. This led to me not backing down, arguing with the boss and quitting. Talk about an emotional roller coaster.
I used to always hang out at my mom’s office after school when I was young because of our situation I had to stay there till she was done. One of the highlights was seeing this UPS man I think William was his name, but he was one of the nicest and friendliest person around and the coworkers would offer him food and drinks if there was any extra for whatever reason and he would always stop and chat for a bit. It’s hard work but being grateful to those hard working delivery drivers really makes their day and lives easier.
Being a delivery driver really is awesome. It’s not a lifelong gig, but you’re just alone, doing your thing, in pizza delivery I got high all the time, and everybody, including dogs, are happy to see you.
For those looking to getting out of the wage cage, I recommend this path 100%. If you like delivering also consider getting a CDL for bigger wage plus benefits. It definitely changed my life for the better if you're willing to work
@@David-lt6lt I deliver milk to schools. It's very chill and the lunch ladies are usually very nice when you get to know them, and they'll give me food and random gifts sometimes. All local class B work, but it's definitely the best job I've ever had. Usually I found that the union based local truck jobs have been great so far but this place I'm sure I'll stay for a very long time
Delivery driver here, the thing with my company is we are not allowed to carry heavy packages. We have bonus money if we deliver fast. Some people are nice some don't. The thing with this job is to be careful don't lose any package. ( Some are super small) and driving in my country is pain.
We delivery drivers have been busting ass for the last 2 weeks for Christmas. We do get some 100 lb packages on the 3rd+ floor of apartments that suck, but usually zero in a shift, and 2 or 3 max. Great video.
I used to work for Amazon to deliver packages and what I can say I learned from the job is that … literally it’s not that simple and easy . Some packages were not able to scan so sometimes we would get in trouble for bringing back packages .. even tho it was no ones fault . 2 management was crap . 3 drivers weren’t appreciated . One thing that has engraved for ever in my heart is to have total respect for those who actually love the Job and do it with kindness . Tough and ugly world treat these drivers bad . The power of a thank you can definitely change ones attitude .
I drive for an amazon contractor. I was having a rough day today and then an old man gave me a 20 dollar bill and told me to have a merry Christmas. Really turned my mood around
My parents always leave out packages with sweets and a tip around Christmas and Easter. They're also great with dogs! Ours is kinda skittish around strangers but loves them ever since we started leaving them dog treats too. :)

bruh as an amazon driver this is so accurate. Youll be walking around pissed off and it just takes one customer to seem very genuine and it can change your whole mood right there.
Do you often wish someone would give you a water (or monster)?

except where i used to work i can even say the company s name idgaf. I was very polite and friendly at first and everyone was kind of mocking me for that...fuck these ppl man
That's why I always try to be nice but not in a condescending/pandering way.
Yeah man I load trucks full time and we had this customer come in and I had to lift a bunch of heavy stuff for him the dude didn’t help me out at all but when I was finished with him he just gave me a 20 dollar tip out of no where I’m not supposed to except cash tips like that but I took it I was very thankful for that guy. Part of it for me is the money but the other part is that he was just being thoughtful and it made my day.

It's better than working on Walmart
@@samuelclark5491I heard it was over 30
I can't even comprehend being a delivery driver like this. I'd spend way too much time looking in the back of the truck for the right package, or triple checking if this is the right address for this house ect. I'd definitely mess up quite a bit and take waaaay more time than I should.
Props to all the delivery drivers out there, you literally make my online purchases a reallity. Without you guys, I'd have nothing cool in my house lol. I bet the job difficulty itself multiplies by 10 during the holidays.
Thats pretty much the reason i stopped. Was supermarket delivery in a congested and old city so was also anxious finding the right address and appropriate parking.
Just not suited to me but if you can are good with those you can make a decent living off it.
It's like that in the beginning. But after a month or two, you realize you deliver to a lot of the same addresses and can knock out your whole truck without even checking a map, and learn all the streets well.
first 5-6 months are awful and will make you want to kill yourself, eventually you learn how to compartmentalize stuff and it gets easier. I dont work for amazon or fedex but I do work for another logistics company making like $26/hr and have daily bonuses on top of it that pushes it closer to 27.50 for just driving around in a climate controlled van listening to music all day. Im doing way less work than amazon/fedex/ups and I make way more money than them, plus the stories about drivers making 50-80k a year is pretty accurate as long as you have experience, if you know how to plot and run your route efficiently you can actually end up making more than that. You wouldn't believe the types of cars my coworkers drive to work, not in a million years.
@@InfiniteRhombusDHL? Sounds alot better than Amazon they give you tons of stops for not a lot of money. And the cameras are super sensitive have to drive slow. FedEx contractors pay daily so get no overtime.
You get used to it and your scanner or phone lets you know it's the right package. My only 2 biggest pet peeves as a driver for Amazon are the terrible grouping of stops especially at apartment complexes and being forced to do rural areas at night in the pitch black dark, as you're less likely to see loose dogs and many people think you are a burglar.
Some lady tipped me a $100 bill yesterday on my delivery route. Made my entire day and then some. Such a kind gesture after the crazy holiday season.
Are delivery drivers able to accept tips? I never knew this if they are.

I got to my last delivery, and it was this nice lady who gave me a cinnamon rice crispy treat and asked if my jacket was warm enough because it was cold out 😭 kind people make such a difference sometimes

I did delivery for both Amazon and UPS before and can confirm this video is painfully accurate. One shitty customer can ruin your day but one kind customer can make a huge difference too.
I will say there are a lot more positive people I visit than bad ones. Only time I ever had a bad experience was a couple weeks ago I was entering a neighborhood that starts off flat but to get deeper into it you had to drive up a hill. So my truck is a bit older and you really gotta put your foot on the pedal when going up a hill, so I had to hit 28 mph to even get up it. I am finished at the top and then I drove down the hill, riding brakes which I generally do and this asshole dude pulls out in front of me while I'm going down the hill and he is going 5 mph. I'm thinking to myself that it's an older person or whatever. So I stop at one of the final houses and he stalls about 2 cars lengths in front of me. I deliver the final package, get in then he keeps going 5 mph til he gets to the end and pulls into the middle of the road, gets out and starts yelling at me. I ask him what's going on and he points at the speed limit sign. I ask him what about it and he said I'm going too fast. ??? Was going 28 tops and he wasn't having any of it. He threatened me that I was their 3rd delivery driver and to not end up like the other 2. I was like "dude, I've been on this route for like 8 weeks, i don't care who your other 2 drivers were, I was going 28 mph up a fucking hill with no one on the street or sidewalks. I have to go 28 to at least get up the hill. No please move so I can keep working." Dude just got back in his car and let me pass him.
Unsure what compels people to lecture a delivery driver. We get and keep our jobs because we know how to drive efficiently.
28 in a 25 isn't gonna do anything. See loads of people on the daily drive thru subs at 35 mph.
Which one did you like more? I was thinking about applying for Amazon delivery myself. I heard horror stories though so I’m kinda hesitant

Try working for FedEx in the country during Christmas season. In a box truck with no snow tires. I’d be walking up hills all day and night, and then someone would always be calling saying they didn’t get their package. Plow your fu€king driveway!
and getting paid 170k by the UPS is a big thing right?
I used to work for UPS. The job is no joke. They are crazy strict about safety standards, and will sneakily follow you around to make sure you follow every single protocol in the damn book. I’ve seen someone written up because they pulled just a little ahead of the white line at stoplights. During Christmas season, you can expect to have several hundred packages on your truck, with sometimes hundreds of individual stops. The pay is good for sure, but that job really is no joke.
You should’ve expected the unexpected 😊
Yo im a delivery driver and this is really relatable. There are definitely good and bad days. Depending on what company you drive for, this isn't the worst job in the world.
The UPS drivers really are the special forces of delivery guys. They make good money too but god do they work them like dogs for it. The one that delivers to my store moves like buttered lightning every single day and is always professional. I've been outside when he pulls up and I swear to god if I ever got in his way he'd probably run me over to keep on schedule.
As a current UPS driver, I can confirm I have ran over people that got in my way. Got delivery commit times and business pickups that’ll close. 😂
They literally have 1 day to rest and spend their "good money"
When I drove I never was off when the sun was out. Don't even miss those days.
Yeah if they stop leaving my packages by my front door to get stolen ffs. Half the time they don't even knock.
@racist guy Only option.

And make sure the pallet is so fucked up the pallet jack can't fit underneath it, then get it to the back of the truck using straps and, then the warehouse it's going to doesn't have a hyster so it has to go back to the front using straps again so there is room for more dispatches.
These guys are the real goats. I make deliveries in a bigger truck but luckily I only have 14 stops a day. Everything is a 1000 pounds or so. But it’s easy because we have pallet jacks. So I mostly just chill. These small van drivers have it rough.

First thing I thought. 12am-9am, six days a week, peak season. Shit is a monster. I wish you could just sign up to drive ups. They male you earn it.
Seasonal drivers do exist too
I did courier job for some time and the problem was that the better you were, the more jobs you got and never got any praise or more break time for it. I actually took the heavy packages as exercise so that was fine. In the end it started going to a point where you got so many places to deliver that it was hard to get even one break. Just that tiny 15mins for eating. One time a boss went with one driver and was like "this is not tolerable!" when they had only that 15min per day, but ofc they did nothing about it :D It's pain in the end. Great video as always!
That's why you should become a quit quiter. I did it 20 years ago, long before it was a trend. Back then I realised I got nothing out of working harder than expected. As a matter of fact, I just took a bite out of my own salary, because when the job was done, there were no more hours for me to work, thus I did not get paid these hours. Instead of praising my behaviour, it was pure self punishment. Never in a corporate job work harder than expected, unless there is some sort of guarantee you will be rewarded.
So I was quicly done with "the hourly wage jobs", where I was always a quit quiter. I became an account executive (basically a salesman for highly speculative trading at a firm I can not mention) and working on provision basis. Did it 7 years, made a nice bit of money, and the last 6 months of that job I became a quit quiter again, only to get paid my normal salary. I used that extra time for myself to start my own business. Now exactly 10 years ago and if I could do it all over again I'd do exactly the same. Just wished I had bought bitcoin back than, the only thing I'd change.
I know know your pain man. I can tell you stories all day. But, after being "taken advantage of" while never getting praise, I decided to freelance. The ability to freely turn down jobs is a gift itself. That way, you can take time whenever you need to.
Shitty job and boss but atleast they acknowledged it was shit thats better then most already
A long time ago, I took a job delivering ads to every home in large sections of towns on foot. After performing well... too well... they started giving me worse and worse routes. One day they gave me a route that was just houses that were far apart, all with long driveways. After about an hour of deliveries and looking at the rest of the map it was apparent that finishing the route for that day would take more than FORTY HOURS if I walked fast and took no breaks. I just took a bus back to my car and left.
Wise decission
Missed the part where he spends some time between 6 months to several years working part-time inside the warehouse until he has the seniority to get a driving position
Come to UK they hire fuckin anyone to drive
Apply at the stations, skip the warehouse. My cousin was driving for FedEx 3 weeks after he got hired.

4:32 “I’m dying…help me” 😂
I honestly didn't expect that ending. That hit me really hard in the feels! I was a FedEx driver for 5 years until I was banished forever for having a pocket knife. Although thankfully I'm in a better place now, this reminded me of the joy I would get from kids being totally stoked to see you every time. Especially during Christmas. They would freak out with joy when they see you roll up. Even if your whole day was shitty, that one stop would make the world of a difference. A little appreciation and kindness goes a long way.
As someone who worked for FedEx for a short time, I'm genuinely not even surprised about the pocketknife story

Frickn ridiculous reason
Corporate America 🇺🇸 has gone insane.
I'm an delivery driver myself and I can confirm that this video is pretty damn accurate. Blasting music, smoking in the van and ofcourse not wearing a seatbelt to safe time. Makes my day to see the joy on people's faces when their package finally gets delivered. Sometimes I get offered a drink or some money too
I'm at fedex as a driver and everything I see an Amazon truck I always smell pot lmao. I definitely blast music sometimes and I for sure 100% never wear a seat belt unless I'm leaving the terminal or returning to it just in case of cameras. Ain't got no time to keep putting the belt on and off. Driving about 3 to 5 mph slower than usual will actually save so much more time than putting on the seatbelt.
Drove part time for FedEx during high season once. This is exactly how it goes. NICE work painting this very clear picture. Hard work is in any job, and just because somebody makes it look easy doesn’t mean it is. Just means they’ve done it for a while.
OH NO IT DOESNT END THERE!!!
When you get back after your route is done and they have a second route for whatever reason.
When your coworker calls off from work and you have to finish there route and yours with the same time.
When dispatch activity messes up your route by not adding the right details. Scheduling the pickup or drop off time at a bad time ie. Business doesn’t open for another 2 hours.
You stayed on route long enough to catch the major traffic for the day. In Houston it’s 2:30-7:30 PM everything takes an extra 20 minutes.
When someone purposely tries to make you hit them for insurance money.
When you get pulled over for something dumb and the company doesn’t pay the ticket.
When a coworker messed up a part of your delivery. Doesn’t give you the right stuff, forgot something, needs to add 1 more thing, etc.
The location you deliver to is a corporate building and there rent a cops take their job to serious and actively block you from doing your job by telling you to move your vehicle, sign in, oh you need a badge, I need to call ahead for you, I need to walk with you to the client, how long you gonna be here???

4:30 Make it rain, lol
I'll take a physically demanding job any day over an emotionally draining one. Great vid!
Amazon warehouse is your dream job then.
@@OfficerPapi isnt that both tho?
Lucky You that You still can take on a physically demanding job.
fuck that, its easy when you grew up not gaf about what people think anyway, id rather not destroy my body any more than i'd have too and get payed more doing the easier white collar shit If I had the option.
I do stuff like this after leaving nursing
Very accurate. I delivered for the 'Zon for a couple years. A few things were left out, though, like finding a bathroom, trying to follow confusing directions and getting lost, avoiding being mauled by country dogs, pausing/unpausing the podcast you're attempting to listen to several thousand times, and being punished for being fast and efficient by having to help sh!ttier drivers after you finished your route. That last one is definitely a crying red-faced Wojak moment.
well it depends, I never had trouble finding a bathroom since in europe you have lots of cafe's around the corner, same for the dogs.
These from wojak are just the general things, everyone has, the rest depends on the circumstance of the individual
Don’t forget people’s treacherous ass front yards, especially at night. For whatever reason, people never leave their goddam lights on at night and neighborhoods no longer have street lights that work. No wonder crime is up: they all have a place to hide!
I work for amazon & I never complain about having to rescue other drivers. We’re in this as a team & I would appreciate if I get the same in return so I help back. Some of us drivers do struggle in some of our routes.
Problem is that there is no time at all to take a break in the holiday season, not even time for the bathroom
@@CallebravoSo you finished your route and you have to go to the terminal, load more stuff and deliver it?
1:00 I worked at UPS in my early twenties and this is the type of thing that all the drivers told me. It took more than four years but I finally listened to them, went to school, got a job in IT, and have been working from home for the past nine years. I no longer break my back and I earn good money in the comfort of my own home.
Wojak is in for a terrible surprise .... 💀
You get a cert or degree? I'm currently a corporate phone center slave and have been thinking about getting into IT.
@@tmc3178 I just got a socialized associate's degree in Information Technology, and four certifications (CompTIA A+, Network+, Security+, and Microsoft's Windows 7 Configuration and Management).
You can of course get higher degrees and much more difficult certifications, but if you're going for entry-level this will put you way above the other guys who are starting and will give you a better chance at a higher wage.
A lot of employers don't actually care about the education or the certifications as long as you can prove you know your stuff. When you don't, you go to school and get those papers lol
It worked out great for me. I went to a two-year college (trade/tech school) that teaches you all the stuff you need to know and leaves out most of the fluff that you would get from a regular junior college or university.
I highly recommend it if you want to get into IT and want something more than a Best Buy computer repair job lol
@@tmc3178it depends which country and who lets you in, some let you in trough internship others you need a degree.
@tmc3178 the certification route is also valid. Especially if you go through a well known program, I'd recommend Flat Iron school!
Sounds boring sorry u can keep the extra money, no joke ill think about suicide if i stayed home too much
I was an Amazon driver half of 2022 and all of 2023. I swear I felt like people were trying to make my job impossible at times. Three cases of water to the third floor of an apartment, German Shepard left out to try and eat me, flash floods out of no where, the list goes on. To any people who tip their delivery drivers in any way, y’all are saints. Like literal saints. Would always make my day if someone left cold water bottles out or a treat during peak. Y’all are what give us the motivation to keep going.
I drive for Ups. So this was awesome. You should make a part 2 about rural drivers. Long bumpy dirt driveways with a signature required only to find out they’re not home. Also vicious dogs and the owner says “He’s never bit anyone before.” Meanwhile he’s barking and growling 😂
4:14 This moment is fucking masterpiece, this truly illustrates how powerful and cold-blooded Bogdanoff is.
Clinton style. :D
I died of laughter
"Make sure no one eez ome"
But he killed Chad? 😭
@@StanwoodSpartans That was my favorite part
During the Halloween and Christmas season, I always leave some candy, snacks, and drinks for the delivery drivers. You guys work miracles and your employers don’t give you guys enough credit.
-How are you doing Wojak?
-I'm doing fine 😊
-Fine? Only lazy people feel fine! you should be feeling tired !🤣😂🤣
🎭
😆 He really played 😆
Call center jobs be like
Having worked for UPS for nine years after starting at Christmas, this is pretty accurate. However, that heavy box would have been "driver released"; if not a prohibited package, in a heartbeat.😊
I used to work package delivery for a vegetable delivery place. Loved that job, would still be there if the pay wasn't abysmal. Its such a breath of fresh air if you've been working a job where you have to deal with people all day long.
It sparked my love of driving, and inspired me to get a class B CDL, and then a class A.
Now I'm an OTR trucker.
No job is perfect, but package delivery is pretty great as far as lower wage jobs go, would highly recommend it if you're about to go insane working retail. Get a class B if you want something similar but with higher pay.
Very accurate. I work as a driver assistant with UPS just for the holiday season, which means I don't get a truck but a dolly I have to push around the city with packages up to my chin. About 95% of interactions with people are good but there are definitely some things that irritate you, like when they don't put the number for the apartment suite or having to wait for the elevator which most are always under maintenance.
I don't know why but a pet peeve for me is when I hand them a package and they look at it like they have no idea what it is, and ask: "Where is it from?" Or "Who is it for?" Like, you're the one who ordered it. What do you think, genius?
😂 inspecting the package like crazy! this happened a couple times last week..i’m like, this for you right?💀
I'm an Amazon driver and that shit always cracks me up too, I'll hand someone a package and they'll ask "what is it?" Like how tf should I know you're the one who ordered it 😂😂😂
Bruh, last week someone asked who is for and when told them they replied he died yesterday 💀
@@matouskolator40 💀💀💀
@@christopherpape4823 Not necessarily.
I had a housemate who ordered heaps of crap from those late night infomercials.
I was unemployed at the time, and also home signing for crap he ordered. I didn't know what it was, and didn't care.
As part of training at Canpar, I took a ride with a delivery guy for the whole day. He was an exec and got divorced and lost most of his estate, and decided to live the simpler life. Coloured his hair blue and drove a delivery truck around. Said it was the best thing he did. He really did enjoy his job.
As someone whose been doing this for over a decade now, people that truly appreciate what you're doing is one of the few things that keep my sanity in check. I've met some really great folks over the years. I have developed connections and relationships that I wouldn't want to be without. I get the occasional token of appreciation, i.e. coffee, pastry or other insignificant things, but a 'thank you' goes a long way too. It's been a mixed experience, but it's certainly been an experience.
4:37 I don't understand how is that weirdo controling the rain
The progress among the earlier work and the vids nowadays is outstanding. Top quality, thanks a lot! ♥
Thank you Tajak! :)
Fui cartero 15 años (a pie), cuando alguien te regala una botella fría en verano realmente el día queda guardado en tu mente para siempre.
mi abuelo fué cartero de correos de mexico por 30 años, gracias a ese trabajo conoció muchas ciudades. Ser mensajero es un trabajo noble y muy pesado.
Je suis d’accord
When I ran lemonade stands with my friends as a kid, we used to get hyped whenever the delivery drivers would stop for us (not many did. It was exciting because it was a guy with a truck and it was unique) At the time we didn't know how much that excitement probably made their day. In my area especially they have difficult routes that probably create some long, tight scheduling for them.
A town I delivered in for UPS, I would do the same and stop for a drink from these young girls on their property and the mum would be outside and I would always give them like 5 times as much money then they would charge for it. Just to see them get all happy. It was adorable eh.
“what are you doing your fired” too accurate 😭
just started as a delivery driver now is my second week, very nice video, i know the feeling at the start when you have a lot of packages and some are heavy.
4:17 Damn Bogdanoff straight had them whacked.
I don't think a lot of people got that
😂😂
👀
yea when he said make sure no one is home his agent took it to heart, the peoples hearts, with lead....
Small price for the bigger picture, they do whatever it take make Wojack life hell
Shows how important it is to just be nice to people. You can make someones day by being thankful and acknowledging their efforts.
I am actually on a "friends" term with my delivery driver. I ordered enough packages for him to know me personally and I am always kind and pleasant to him. On several occasions, when I was not at home, we actually met half way somewhere, just for him not to do a useless second trip. He is a Good, Hardworking guy and deserves Respect.
@@gsesquire3441 what?
I always give delivery drivers the gratitude and respect they deserve. I know they have a difficult job.
As a delivery driver i always ring the doorbell first to know if the client is home and only after i would carry such a heavy package only to the building entrance, not his door. Carrying it to the clients door is roocky mistake, other than that really accurate, made my day 😄
Yeah I agree. I only have 1 location that is a retirement home for the elderly and they have loads of assistance there. I always leave the package at the front desk mainly to save on time for me but also because the packages ordered are incredibly small little boxes so it's not a big deal.
This episode was really well made, good job man!
That ending was uplifting. He shouldn't have expected it to be all sunshine and roses, so I feel like in the end he got a more mature outlook on the job and now he enjoys it despite of knowing the bad parts. Growth!
Been there and done that, I remember working for Amazon at the beginning of COVID until half way to the end. Year and a half of pain with plenty of suffering. Glad I got out when I did!
That f****** thumbnail is spot on. Except usually the FedEx driver isn't in a FedEx shirt probably smoking weed. It's so wild the difference between companies
I was a mailman in Germany. We also delivered packages. I was doing it from October until March so it was pretty cold and rainy. The worst thing is when you have a multi story building with families that order daily but are never home. The only one home was a grandma that almost never ordered something so i didn't want to bother her every day. The most bothersome thing about the job in Germany is the parking. You always have to risk a fine. A colleague got two fines in one month. It's already hard enough to find parking with a normal car but as a delivery driver you have a longer car and also have to park not too far away
Oh my gawd, you lived my life! I moved to Berlin in January a couple years ago and worked as a Postbote from Feb-September. It got hot as the Hölle that summer and we had no AC in the minivan. I drove from 6 in the morning until 6 in the evening, with a nice pause for lunch. My favorite part was going to the military barracks, the soldiers were the coolest people, and invited me to take my lunch break with them on the military base on my last day. The work was so exhausting but I loved my time there
Bogdanoff is a god at this point, manipulating even weather 😂
To anyone who might ever have a delivery job: NEVER START YOUR DAY WITHOUT A HAND-TRUCK
In England we call them a sack barrow.
It's called a trolley
@@brubrulani NO. A hand truck is one thing, a trolley is another.
Wow the beginning especially was so accurate. I was thinking I finally found a job (Amazon) that suited me and then the boss or dispatch claimed I had taken a 45 minute break, which never happened. This led to me not backing down, arguing with the boss and quitting. Talk about an emotional roller coaster.
I used to always hang out at my mom’s office after school when I was young because of our situation I had to stay there till she was done. One of the highlights was seeing this UPS man I think William was his name, but he was one of the nicest and friendliest person around and the coworkers would offer him food and drinks if there was any extra for whatever reason and he would always stop and chat for a bit. It’s hard work but being grateful to those hard working delivery drivers really makes their day and lives easier.
5:24 - Heck Yeah!!! 🌈 📦 😊
Being a delivery driver really is awesome. It’s not a lifelong gig, but you’re just alone, doing your thing, in pizza delivery I got high all the time, and everybody, including dogs, are happy to see you.
You’ve never worked for Fed ex. It’s not awesome.
@@Psilocybin77 pizza delivery is tho
@@Psilocybin77 I worked for Amazon before it was fine for a bit of money really busy though and wouldn't do it long term but was happy enough
I love delivering pizza the money isn’t what it used to be but the freedom is priceless
For those looking to getting out of the wage cage, I recommend this path 100%. If you like delivering also consider getting a CDL for bigger wage plus benefits. It definitely changed my life for the better if you're willing to work
Thank you for your service
Same here dude! Truck driving is the best! Literally just drive around all day doing whatever you want. What kind of CDL work you doing?
@@David-lt6lt I deliver milk to schools. It's very chill and the lunch ladies are usually very nice when you get to know them, and they'll give me food and random gifts sometimes. All local class B work, but it's definitely the best job I've ever had. Usually I found that the union based local truck jobs have been great so far but this place I'm sure I'll stay for a very long time
Become a lifeguard. Trust me. 99% of the time is spend just looking at a pool and getting paid for it.
@@lorancehack3303 Glad you found something you like! A good job makes a world of difference.
Delivery driver here, the thing with my company is we are not allowed to carry heavy packages. We have bonus money if we deliver fast.
Some people are nice some don't.
The thing with this job is to be careful don't lose any package. ( Some are super small) and driving in my country is pain.
We delivery drivers have been busting ass for the last 2 weeks for Christmas. We do get some 100 lb packages on the 3rd+ floor of apartments that suck, but usually zero in a shift, and 2 or 3 max. Great video.
Godspeed. Thanks for your service, especially in this arctic weather.
I used to work for Amazon to deliver packages and what I can say I learned from the job is that … literally it’s not that simple and easy . Some packages were not able to scan so sometimes we would get in trouble for bringing back packages .. even tho it was no ones fault . 2 management was crap . 3 drivers weren’t appreciated . One thing that has engraved for ever in my heart is to have total respect for those who actually love the Job and do it with kindness . Tough and ugly world treat these drivers bad . The power of a thank you can definitely change ones attitude .
You just inspired me to be mindful of my demeanor towards delivery drivers and show gratitude. Thanks.
