I can only imagine how hard this job can be, but you make it seem real easy, the videos are great!!!

I feel you on the noisy van just hitting bumps, we used to have a old box van for the tools in the city i work for and I had to drive that sucker a lot, no ac in the summer, no radio, everything basically was broken on it besides the basics of it being able to drive. that thing was loud with the tools bouncing around in the back. going down rough roads at the speed limit sounded like we were entering orbit with everything shaking. but all in all it got the job done until the city retired it and sent to to auction and replaced it with a pick up.

Loving your videos! I deliver in Northern California and really enjoy it. Also I love your upbeat positive energy.

Thank you for your service

Here in DFW, it''s regular to see between 400-500 packages for our step drivers. I'm in a rented Budget van and had 110 stops yesterday. Big routes lol

I work inside the stations getting the packages to those bags so good to see other POV

Great Video! I delivered Sunday after Black Friday. 234 Stops(I don’t remember the locations number) and 348 Packages. It was a small compacted area over 3 neighboring neighborhoods. I was not on my normal route. Which normally can be frustrating, But it wasn’t bad at all. I still completed by 6pm. The highest package count to a single home was 12 boxes. I had 2 or 3 homes that had 11 packages. All in all, I expected to have a terrible day. But it wasn’t bad at all. I normally drive the CDV. And that what I drove that day, one of the cargo vans would’ve been terrible.

Amazon van driver here in Pennsylvania. I signed up to take cycle zero shift which is 7am so I can get done before it get dark. On Mon and tue after Black Friday and cyber Monday I had 20 bags and 120 stops but every stop was more than one package. The highest I had was 30 bags but 2 stops was nearly 100 packages those where to college mail rooms

Yeah scanning packages in the dark is a bit of a pain, luckily my dsp has the zebra phones with built in barcode scanner so I can just use the laser to scan instead of relying on the camera.

I use a headlamp tool as I work in the dark every night. I started with that Duracell one, the 4 clicks to shut off drove me nuts. I got a diff one, one click on and off

I used to do 120 stops but each stop was always 10 mins away. I had what we called the country routes!

I’m in the ARG (Army Reserves) and I drive a step van. They had to measure the decibels on every step van on how loud it is inside. Apparently 115+ decibels will cause hearing loss. I’ve driven a step van for 2 years finish my full 190+ stops in 5-6 hours. I’m a closer dispatcher too so that’s sums up my life as an Amazon driver. I’m monday thru Thursday since 2 weekend of the month training in ARG

Man, I’m glad it’s slowing down. I was consistently doing 27+ bags, 40+ overflow for WEEKS. My biggest route was 33 bags 38 overflow and it was HELL.

I regularly have 180 stops with 400 or more packages. Thankfully I'm usually done in 5 hours. Peak season is crazy.

I hate when people ask where your going like dude I’m going to deliver packages

Any food place be hitting after work tbh 😂 even if it’s not the best.

Very interesting to see the POV of an amazon driver

In Delaware, we have routes with 700 packages per route with only 1/4 of it commercial. 50+ bags. 199 stops with half of them group stops. There is not one inch of the truck not full. No walkway no nothing. Crazy shit

glad i dipped before peak

Unfortunately our dsp we only use the Mercedes cargo vans and when peak season started it was a mess in the back having to organize 20+ bags and sometimes getting 30 over flow and getting rushed to load up was stressful

They should limit what the vans can carry...like 10-15 totes.20-30 oversized at most. I had routes it took me forever to find packages because I could move in the back of the van. Literally had to pull boxes and totes out on a busy street to find 1 or 2 oversize or get to a tote I needed. Amazon also does not allow enough time to load a van or truck that's for sure. Im starting at a DSP tomorrow doing XL deliveries.

This many stops is like a 6 hour day for me and 3 rescue runs adding in another 60 stops before I complete my day.

YOU ARE ONE CRAZY DELIVERY DRIVER MAN I USED TO DO 140-160 STOPS AND THAT WAS MORE THAN ENOUGH FOR ME AND THAT WAS WITH A NORMAL SIZED MERCEDES SPRINTER YOU DO 200+ STOPS WITH A FREAKING TRUCK NOW I CHANGED TO DHL EXPRESS AND ONLY DO 15-40 STOPS A DAY WITH THE SAME PAY!

Just saying but the bigger overflow...least for in the small/bigger van not the step van, if several of them arent far from one another...knocking those out first then going to the first stop gave me actual room in the van to work/separate. Unsure if the dsp I worked for noticed or if yours would be upset by it but no one called so hopefully whoever did dispatch that day could put 2+2 together and realize in real time. Feel like doing so actually saved time because of having the ability to move around in the back...even though...

After watching it gave me ptsd. I don't miss this at all

Haha Never ever going back to this not even if I'm dying of hungry I'm never going to deliver for Amazon.

guy at guard shack "where are you going?" really bro lol

I drive Class B (non-commercial) box trucks, and deliver pallets of cardboard boxes to local deliveries (not houses, but local customers to where I live that manufacture products, and such) I drove Class A combination and we have some Class A trucks, but I moved down to the Class B Non-CDL because to be honest I like getting up and moving around more, and handling the freight, with the lift-gate and such. Beats sitting 24/7. But it's summer time that for us is the longest when I am working all 12-14hr days. It's rough man. But in any job as you get any negativity aside, you like your job more.

Seeing how this is a lot to other dispatches, the dispatch I use to work for would over work tf outta us, this would’ve been a normal day, (was delivering on the south side of Chicago)

Still hard to believe you're delivering for Amazon! Having worked at both Amz and FedEx Ground, I would pick Amz over Ground. It's been a light peak for me so it hasn't been busy at all!

@LaosHouse

Жыл бұрын

Lol. If you think a cargo van is crappy, try being a sub, using your own vehicle, had to do 4 loads from depot/day during peak.

Thats a normal day in san diego all year. We average 380 to 450 per DA , bulk routes do 600 to 1000 packages

I load for ups and I was driver helping for 4 hours a day. I was loading 450+ packages per day into the truck. we were running 250+ stops a day and while I was helping for those 4 hours we were running 40+ stops an hour. I think our fastest hour was 65 stops. We did have the top 5 most packages, and top 2 most stops in the store for a week straight. This is also a downtown area, so just drive a block and hit 3ish stops and keep rollin. Now we're back down to 300 packages. I no longer driver help but I am loading his truck. Since I'm not out there with him I'm not sure how many stops but I'd guess around 180+ stops. Our largest day was 295 stops with 556 packages. I couldn't physically fit all of them inside the truck because of large packages like the 8 3ft cubes of coats for a local charity and the 135 lb pool which was taller than me. Heckin rough time. Thank god the numbers are getting smaller. last week, Thursday we had 250 packages on the truck, but Friday we had 400. It's been rough. being a preloader and a driver helper gave me a 65+ hour week. First time I've worked that much a week, especially since I just graduated high school. I kept slipping on ice. Worst fall was down 5 steps.
