PINS Amazon Van Loading - DSP Training Video

Featured in this video is Pinnacle Delivery Service's lead driver Paul Tomlinson explaining and demonstrating his self-taught method of loading. The total tote count for this route was 19 and the overflow was around 20.
He loads from the slider door first and unstacked the cart to access the last tote first and loads the van in rows of along the far driver side wall. He then loads from the rear door and sorts them out by the yellow sticker label in alphabetical sequence; A - F. In order to store all 19 totes, he did not use the foldable shelves.
The totes were loaded in sequence based on the Rabbit. And the overflow was organized in the rear of the van.

This dude actually did a phenomenal job, it’s why Amazon needs to give them a raise and stop letting them leave.

good video Amazon have got parcel delivery sorted but if you start off working for Amazon but at some point you decide to work at a different parcel carrier etc it will be different eg you'll be shown a pile of 100-150 parcels in a pile which you'll be expected to put in drop order before loading your own van etc which can take 60-90 mins etc but better to spend extra time in depot loading 100+ parcels in drop order as this will save you time on the road etc -/ the best high volume parcel drivers dawdle or drive sjowly because they are always thinking 10 drops in front of their current drop etc - most people don't realise that you don't need to rush when delivering parcels etc - a parcel delivery driver just needs a consistent pace and the ability to think through your whole route before leaving the depot eg if you have a hairdressers or chippy on your route most hairdressers and chippy's are closed on Mondays so no need to take those parcels out as you'll have to take them out only to bring them back etc so better leaving them in the depot and write closed Monday s on parcel etc and make a work space on back floor of van that you can sort parcels in to order etc and of you don't know any parcel routes etc it gets easier once you get to know a route which will give you confidence in your ability which will help you relax and take your time and don't get stressed out because then you'll keep telling yourself you'll never be able to deliver all the parcels and the more you tell you yourself you won't be able to deliver all the parcels you'll run out of time etc but parcel delivery is as easy or as difficult as the driver makes it for themselves etc but parcel delivery will get you to some lovely houses and beautiful scenery and keep you fit etc - hope this helps someone from someone who spent many years as a multidrop parcel delivery driver that could float across 12 routes etc

space out paragraphs, not just 1 giant paragraph!!!!! annoying to read

[@tommy1646]

That’s great and all when you have time but when you have some stations screaming to hurry up that’s not the case and you just have to throw all those suckers in without organizing it smh.

[@westnoble1020]

Bro tell me about it 🙄

[@borg1313]

It would be nice. We have to throw and go, hope it don't topple before first stop, then we can organize.

[@coleton2144]

Your stations need to chill, it's required by Amazon that they give you at least 20 minutes to load you vans. If you have trouble with it I would just load up as fast as you can and organize at your first stop for 20 mins or so.

[@tommy1646]

@@coleton2144there’s no fixing time if you trying to finish fast cause dispatch as well rushes you if you behind and does not send help most of the time.

[@JohnDoe-gh8sk]

@@coleton2144we’re only allowed 15 minutes

[@DREADEDuub]

Man the things I could do if my load time was this long

[@SW-px6yy]

This dude made more work for himself than was needed and took way too long.

[@tommyapocalypse6096]

How would you have done it differently, or better? 🙂

[@Owlfluence]

@@tommyapocalypse6096no reply to how they’d do it 😂

[@juliobello4561]

That’s very few overflow I use the bench to throw all the totes and overflow to avoid bending over on the road and you go easy on your back.

[@anthonytcg2407]

Non of that will stay turning a corner lmao

[@hareshbsingh]

😂😂😂😂

[@manuelmatosgonzalez132]

its what I thought. the first left turn is gonna make all the packages to fall to the right side of the van. it happened to me. on my 1st fcking turn, everything fell. lol

[@keegancan]

Also, if any of those top totes are heavy they may need to go on the bottom as they may crush totes underneathe if light.

[@bloodymirgoku]

You have to scan all the over flows individually

[@keegancan]

Why do you organize by overflow letters? Does it show it on the phone?

[@cbrue1896]

Nice job, Paul.

[@ih8you176]

Ive learned over flow correlates with the bag order

[@MeYou-xh9od]

It wastes same time if you fix them by order as finding them when u r at the address

[@chazieo]

I’ll say this....everyone loads completely different. But he had way to much time. Lol. Good load though.

[@mrbillyb1966]

So where do u open up bag 1

[@gillopez818]

At 1:45 He said 908 is 1st then 132 is 2nd. So everything starts from the side door. I had to double check since I'm always a little nervous about starting a new job.

[@sc0ttyt90]

There's no way you could load like that in the UK as our bags/totes are completely different sizes.

[@letstrythis3295]

This is just a fake video. You never have time to do what he did. Also theres more ways to organize better.

[@TimothyRogersRailfanning]

Not in 15 minutes you don't, 10 minutes and they are pushing you to get your van loaded.

[@MukeshSharma-ey5gp]

I like your videos iam a new driver how can we know which totes is our first drop second in every Wherehouse they relies picking slip also can u guide me pl

[@clavenbostic8212]

If that works for you cool. Me I use my tables and call it a wrap and still able to get 22 totes plus 18 to 25 overs in

[@crustybunz-01]

bro just scan the cart and load front to back. this was so much more trouble than needed

[@onelove2150]

[@seanbrick2886]

[@anonymousreviewer5580]

Nice job but we only get 13 minutes to load before they are yelling

[@joshman5379]

you get 13min wow I get 20min

[@SW-px6yy]

You get 13? Lucky. We get 10 before the yelling starts.

[@IparanoiaZ]

@@SW-px6yy 10mins to load? Tf are we forklifts?! Lol

[@moopmoop345]

Turns first corner and it's all ruined 😂

[@krisrousseau4200]

I’m trying to figure out how to know the order

[@itzanopinion]

depends on how your warehouse stacks their carts... At my warehouse, the order is as follows: TOP ROW > LEFT TO RIGHT Tote 1 > Tote 2 > Tote 3 Middle Row > Left To Right Tote 4 > Tote 5 > Tote 6 Bottom Row > Left To Right Tote 7 > Tote 8 > Tote 9 We use the "First In ~ First Out" Method.... We also do NOT have to scan each tote/over-size...we just scan the QR code on the cart itself! :-)

[@ghstbird3338]

Less than helpful. No explanation as to why the last goes in first, is he going to take packages from the front or back, no arrangement of the first bag package according to yellow tags or address….👎🏼

[@spovlock51]

Not gonna lie this has to be the worst way of loading I've ever seen. Most drivers at my company do not have a good way of loading their vans and it definitely hurts them. What I do is load all of my totes in the front half of the van, usually I never have more than 17 totes. I put a couple behind the wall where the seat is, then make two rows back to back, the first row has two bags on top of one another, so 6 in total. The second row is where I would stack three high if needed. Then I have the whole back half of the van for oversize. Going in ascending order, I load my last oversize first, it makes it easier to stack and cram 40+ oversize in a small space. The first oversize packages to be offloaded will be right up against the back door, easily able to take them out.

[@timothyrodriguez881]

this way is trash trust

[@justinkase9483]

If only WE had all the time in the world to load...This is not realistic.
