Learn more about Amazon TOM (Transportation Operations Management)

[@gamerspad4902]

I recommend talking to any TOM members you see. They'll give you more in sight of what to expect. Also keep in mind each yard/TOM team is different. you'll also get labor shared to different sites. basically when one site doesn't have enough people for the shift the leads work out who's able to send someone to help. I recommend having a car just in case.

[@marcuswelby9601]

They have ride share service on Amazons dime.

How’d u apply?? I have my cdl

[@anthonygordon7428]

I began as a pack associate at SMF6, and then became a Pack Ambassador. I just got my official acceptance into the TOM Team today!!! I am so ready for this!! I applied as soon as I got hired back in 2021, but it took this long for an opening in my area SMF1. Sacramento, CA

[@nomercyforthewicked1852]

If you already work for Amazon as an regular associate,Apply first for transportation Associate and All you have to do is talk to your L6 manager and he will help you.

[@ju5tthatg00d62]

Been picking on a clamp for 2 years now at an amxl just applied for Transportation associate! Excited and hopeful!

[@ju5tthatg00d62]

@danielbarraza6684 never got the job. But I did do the career choice schooling and got my CDL-A. Last week was my last with Amazon. I got a new job making 30 an hour 🙃 it definitely looked worth trying TOM. But I never got the chance I've applied over 15 times twice while I had a CDL, but they still didn't even interview.

hello, I'm working in Tom team and in my warehouse now they are doing cross-training and we getting inside for 20 h of our 40h . I saw the video and I know that Tom team needs to be a solid team for safety and good work conditions. My question is if this happens to anyone or they are allowed to change the team and send the yard associates inside?

[@piggypops78]

Im on Tom and never heard of such thing. Tom team works in the yard only. Whether we are working the guard shacks or driving the hostler.

[@phamily-tv]

At my warehouse, if you’re on “labor share” it means you haven’t officially joined TOM team on their payroll so those associates could be called inside if they’re short on people or if TOM is over headcount.

I just dealt with this currently in NOA training. The answer is no, you will have limitations on drive hrs and hours worked prior to you next shift at Amazon. While DSP isn’t CDL necessarily they still adhere to limits set by fmcsa or dot guidelines.
