Jobs at UPS + Fedex require it. I had to get it done so I was like why not vlog it.

Shout out to that lady

[@Liebe-Futurel]

I always found the hearing test kind of amusing just because, at my office at least, the Dr. whispered like 6 inches from my ears with the number

Gotta make sure your ears work

I had my third route on the stepvan today and men coming from cargo van to stepvan i dont wanna go back to cargo van neverr!!!

My first ride along this coming Tuesday then I'll be officially solo. Thanks for all the great content, I've been watching since you started at Amazon and just switched from working in the FC to now being free on the roads.

[@patricioblanco941]

Hi there! Like seeing your vids I just wanted to share a tip on petting dogs most feel a bit scared if you try to pet them first over their head. Instead, start with trying pet/scratch under their chin they just feel less scared of course when you get their attention and they know you good you can pet them all over. Hope this helps!

[@NVS3992]

That's pretty cool to see that process!

[@LaosHouse]

[@zane757]

I just got hired at USPS and find these videos very entertaining.

[@daveinthelife91]

To be clear these certificates are NOT needed for any of the work you usually see him do. All of the normal amazon trucks and vans do not require this. Only if you work at an XL facility which has a completely pay system setup and everything. Good luck out there!

[@PTRRanger951]

That what he said, the big trucks. He has a CDL, which needs the medical cert to stay valid. CDLs are not needed to drive regular trucks. But it’s harder to get a CDL that it is to lose it, so if you have it you want to keep it valid and not let the medical expire. It keeps his options open if he wants to drive semi or go to a different company or OTR.

[@daveinthelife91]

​@@PTRRanger951 it definitely came across as you need a CDL to drive the CDV vans amazon has which you do not even though they are box trucks. maybe i missed something at the end

[@PTRRanger951]

@@daveinthelife91 it’s literally the title of the video. “Big trucks”. And it’s also in the description.

Chris I’ve been a package handler at FedEx for 3 years, i started at 18 and I’ve stuck around cuz it’s been convenient and I’m pretty good, job sucks tho. I got an offer to become a driver since I just turned 21 and I’ve really been considering. Only thing really stopping me is the idea of driving a big truck and the driving in general since I already don’t like to drive much. But I believe I can get used to it, I’m thinking I should take it but peak season is also coming up soon and winter so I would start off rough but I’m thinking if I can handle the worse during peak, I should be able to handle the rest. Idk if you have a take or advice for me? Btw ur videos are satisfying, especially your mentality towards the job.

[@Asce69]

If I were you I’d do it and this will help you with driving a lot more, shi you’ll be driving a lot more by urself to help u get use driving box trucks you got this jus take it easy 🫡

[@LaosHouse]

I honestly think you'll enjoy being a driver than a warehouse worker. you've experienced peak in the warehouse why not as a driver. I would do it if I were you. Else, see if any contractors have a driver helper position. That would be my next choice. best of luck 💯

[@dwolters_the_zombieman]

for Michigan you don't need DOT physical unless you're driving out of state if you drive in state you don't need it.

[@LaosHouse]

yeah I was reading a lot about it and I guess it varies state by state

In reference to the part about creators making Amazon Driver content, I think it's so niche because Amazon has fired people for recording. A motovlogger I watch that posted 1 video about him delivering got him fired shortly after for breaking Amazon policies on recording.

[@daveinthelife91]

So wait they told you to drive a step van you have to have a DOT? That must be different per state. The only ones that need it here are the XL warehouse drivers that drive a completely different truck than the step vans. They're kind of a smaller semi truck.

wow in uk we dont have to do all this until you reach 45 on the heavy lorry's then every 5 years

[@i_i8924]

I really wish u would try UPS again (even blacklisted, they allow u back after few yrs). The no filming in warehouse might be a problem but as long as u aren't doing it on company time (stoppping/setting up) u probably could get vids from loading/unloading trailers. I do like the more relaxed feel of being a Amazon DSP driver but the pay is so low ($19 in my area).

[@SmokeyDeadGames]

It's crazy to me that one of the largest company in the world Amazon... pays so poorly and offers virtually nothing to thier employees. I have been watching you since your original Amazon warehouse videos. I hope every video you upload that one day you wise up and get a cdl and start making some real money for delivery. Amazon is a dead end job. FedEx dead end job. If anything you should do ups. But I know you are banned for life. Also there are many cdl jobs that people vlog here on youtube with large amounts of followers. You can do better and should always strive for better. Never settle .

Best advice for all you new medical card takers, lie about everything. Any health issues or any medical issues you’ve had in life, do not write them down. A standard medical card lasts two years and if they think you may be worrisome driving a vehicle commercially, they can give a card that only last months or a year. Or worst case scenario you may not be given a card at all.
