If anyone’s wondering why it is so hard to deliver packages at night. It’s harder to see the addresses on mailboxes and houses. Edit: also the benefit of suburb deliveries is that house deliveries can be fast and right next to each other. The downside is the roads can be busy sometimes so doing that work can mean less maneuverability. Residential neighborhoods usually are the same but I deliver to these huge houses in a rich neighborhood with driveways that can be up to a mile long. So either get good at driving or get good at cardio.

I start working as Courier here in Australia later this week, got inspired to start delivery driving just by watching your video. I might also start filming so yous can see the difference between two worlds! love your work

Love your videos. I was wondering if i made a wrong choice about driving for amazon but I am going to give it a try. I really hope they give me time to break in the job.

Lol the other day I was delivering in a neighborhood that acquired me to press the call button to notify them that I’m delivering their package so they can open their gate to locking everything up and rolling up my windows in another neighborhood ☠️ quite the scenery change honestly

Love and support from a station in France 💪

Crazy when that guy mentioned New Road, I knew you had to be in NJ, idk how but I knew.

Very nice behind the scenes look , the AEV are nice though.

not a driver myself. but damn i love these vids lol

At night is harder to see the numbers on the doors. So what I do, I study the map of the particular housing estates that I’m going to just to get an idea of the layout. So instead of having to click on the map all the time you can just look at the address on your scanner and go straight to it. And it’s a lot less stress as well if you know where they are

Roads are crazy asf in jersey man’s is literally stopped in the intersection

They do that too me lol I just do the standard unless its a okay this route is okay, i dont mind this route. If I do standard it'll put me back to the last route i did really good. xD

Man I deliver in the middle of nowhere on some sketchy cliffs and if you get stuck more than once you get terminated!! I’m in socal Los Angeles county

I love your videos and just started working for Amazon as a drivea week ago and I’m confused how to go about a situation and would like some advice. So Amazon sees our location as a small town therefore we don’t get a lot of resources. Our vans are shot to crap and most of them all have bold tires and flats but there’s nothing we can do. I drove on two flats that were bold for my 13 hour shift. Adding that snow is coming soon I’m not sure what to do. Also there isn’t enough vans to get a new one. I’ve tried to replace tired but they are dead too. Yesterday I replaced three tires for other drivers. What should I do?

@fjoseph25

that is not your issue that's something your dsp needs to take care of when doing your pre trip report the issue in the app even if your dsp says not too it will ground the vehicle until they take care of the issue dsps are cheap and try to do the bare minimum to these vans your safety should come first

Has anyone else been getting 35-40 totes in the Rivian lately? Also 30-40+ overflow? This is my fifth peak season delivering for Amazon and definitely my last.

I haven't ordered from Amazon in 9 months!

My dsp had their area changed from north jersey to nyc in November. It was so bad it made me quit before peak started. I was bringing back almost half of my SV route everyday, something I never did delivering in nj. Going up and down apartment stairs with full totes + overflow sucked. Not to mention the terrible grouping and no parking at all. All in all 0/10 don't ever deliver in nyc.

I would totally be using their driveways lol

I hate delivering to an apartment that has a garage and their front door is in the back.

Holy shit bro I wish they would do this on our vans! Our vans are over 5 years old most over 200k miles and every single light is on, most of the buttons don't work and some have non working backup cameras. I have had the powersteering go out on me on steep hills, doors failing to close, had the steps just fall off, one of the vans I drove had a horrible sulfur smell. We drive the diesel mercedes sprinters. When we got a bunch of rentals I was lucky enough to be the first to put miles on it after they were dropped off. It was nice not having to drive a pile of shit lol

Those vans are really fiats with a ram badge on it whe have them also here in europe but here they are fiat docatos or Peugeots vans

Not the dmv

That thumbnail is wild💀

I work as an Amazon driver as well. One thing that is weird to me, is that while FedEx and UPS park their vans and trucks inside over night and they have a whole staff that numerically packs your truck for you and all you gotta do is pick up your vehicle in the morning. They also have set routes everyday. Amazon is the only one that makes the drivers pack their own vehicles and is known to change routes completely, almost every day.

Yo chris it would be cool if you make a video showing us more parts of the amazon building, how it looks in the inside and how big it is.

Yo, how often are you able to deliver all your packages? Do they expect the impossible

For some odd reason I expected that Amazon would let you drive a van with problems to get inspected at a DMV. I just dont understand why some companies neglect such things

Also i just realised that your bags seem to be like half the height of ours in england, might just be me tho

How do you make videos doing Amazon deliveries because I watched another KZread called walterrific and he got fired because Amazon does not allow workers to make KZread videos?

From personal experience, the only time a DSP's RGU's change is when another DSP is added to whatever warehouse/facility you operate out of! When I started driving 3 years ago, my original DSP had routes that were about an 1 hour drive way. After a few months, when another DSP came along and started operating, we lost those routes and took those areas that were closer to our facility and kept those routes till the day we closed LAST Thanksgiving! (2022)

That dmv in newark sucksssssss

Hi bro i am comming to spain next weak i want to know how can i get amazon job here as a driver i am working in germany as a driver and how much money can we make?

Hey Chris how late do you stay out

I dont deal with attitude i would of had to put dude in his place lol im glad i stay in south carolina where we dont have to do inspections on out vehicles

Update after update sometimes it seems like the app just gets worse and worse.

Tell your dsp you have a "preferred area" and they'll mostly keep you there (if you metrics are good in that area).

Did you change your KZread name?
