POV: Amazon Gives You A Heavy Business Route And You Struggle

[@LaosHouse]

Does anyone here like delivering to businesses... 🥺

[@ErinAlisse_]

Nope

[@Peace7904]

I'm still doing my nursery routes and on my 4th route I had about 60 Commercial Packages. We don't start our loading until ~1pm and I usually hit my first stop by 2pm. The route planner showed all of my business stops in the last half so I had 28 RTS packages that needed redeliver the next day. I was a little annoyed at how many CTC I had to do that day.

[@LaosHouse]

@@Peace7904 yeah that can be annoying. Amazon wants you to go in order but when all the commercials are at then end and closed it's like damn

[@Andrew-dj2vn]

Hell no

[@2009westsiderz]

Nah I'm good 😂

[@bt42_howitzer]

This stuff is super enjoyable to watch and relax, keep doing what you enjoy Chris

[@LaosHouse]

I appreciate your comment. It keeps me going

[@wilhufftarkin8543]

I don't understand why Amazon changes areas for DSPs all the time. It makes no sense and only hurts efficiency. If you know an area, it takes so much faster to get it done than when you have to learn a new area all over again. I'm so glad I don't work for Amazon anymore.

[@DesiredKingOfEnder]

I know, whenever I get a package from them, its always somebody different delivering it, every, single, time

[@albarqak]

From the top of my head if I wanted to learn which DSP is doing good, slacking, or missing packages, this what I would do; change DSPs so I can determine who is who. We do this with employees between locations of any business. Amazon’s AI must have have other reasons, too 😅

[@LaosHouse]

In 2024, My dsp switched areas like 4 times. 😐

[@coffee8814]

@@LaosHouse my question stands, why not go back to fedex? you make more for your time and can enjoy life after work

[@Johnnykham_]

They should keep it like other delivery couriers. I’m a FedEx express driver and been doing my same business route for almost 2 1/2 years now and I know where to go and all my customers know me well. When I worked at a DSP they kept changing my routes and cities which was super annoying

[@pekkaboss2243]

Please continue making content! I love watching your Amazon videos!!

[@LaosHouse]

I gotchu bro

[@Truechildofgod]

I’ll never understand people that are expecting a delivery to come letting their old yeller roam the garden delivery drivers have to leave packages at smh. Those places should be put on a pickup list where they are forced to pick up their own packages from an Amazon locker

[@LaosHouse]

happens more especially in the rural area. You have to be more careful out there

[@goldenalbatross9462]

The area I deliver have many dogs that are let loose. While most are nice, I’d really like the recipients to keep them secured. Many delivery drivers have gotten bit (especially by the lil fluffy ones). There’s only one house I’ve seen where the dog is always let out *except* when there’s a package incoming. Every other house with dogs are more of a gamble.

[@royliber3824]

Well i'd say it's the owner's 100% complete fault if the package gets stolen or if something else happens to it. They can't expect delivery guys to fight off their dogs in their own property. You either keep that dog inside or let the package wait for you outside in a place it can be stolen.

[@IM1EYE]

id take businesses over large apartment complexes any day. i literally do the same thing you do, i dont have time to wait for people to come and sign. i just dont know where you find time to fit in a meal.

[@LaosHouse]

Yeah gotta try to save time in any way.

[@thebrownguydude2758]

You’re definitely going to cross 100k subs in no time

Everyday I'm looking forward to it!

[@jessieslyfe9516]

As a PA who works in the amazon FC I always say drivers are the underdogs as they dont get enough credit for driving in any weather conditions and making sure the customer gets their package. Keep up the good work and stay safe on the roads my man!

[@edman813]

I'm a L1 at a DS, I used to do RTS (Return to Warehouse) and whether I was helping with Flex drivers or Commercial ones I can say they have it worse than us inside the DS, much much more hurdles and annoyances especially needing to interact far more with strangers, for less pay more often than not. Truly wouldn't see myself ever voluntarily quitting for a DSP job in my lifetime

[@SNohokai]

Enjoyed this very much as someone in a similar craft. I am a USPS city carrier. Love your hustle keep it up man!

[@LaosHouse]

I see you guys everyday on my route! You gotta keep up the hustle as well!

[@nnanarey1572]

Lmao 🤣 I missed your yapping

[@LaosHouse]

we back baby

[@ShredaSpud]

UPS here and I'd take business over apartments. Im doing a seasonal route and its probably 1/3 business stops and pickups and 2/3 houses with a few apartments. The businesses take up the bulk of the day for sure with a few stops consisting of 15-35 packages each with weights up to 70 lbs. But at least most of them are to docks instead of figuring out apartments. Apartments suck worse than businesses. Except my final pickup which is 300-400 smaller packages from a pharmacy. And I have to scan each one. Side note, I hate those type of gear shifters in the trucks. The column shifters are better I think. Don't kill your wrists over time.

[@filiuseuropae12]

I do 75% business on my UPS route. Unfortunately, my area is mostly industrial, so my dolly is my best friend. I have to deliver 250+ packages before I can touch any residential. The money is what keeps me going. This is the first year I've hit 6 figures, and I've been driving for 5 years now.

[@egyphon]

Melida was a great lady! I didn't really understand why you brought packages to the Flex place though. Seeing the businesses is a lot more fun than watching house delivers to be honest.

[@earldasquirrel9176]

It is what it is... Sometimes I also deliver to a nearby Amazon Fulfillment center or to a satellite warehouse

[@andrewblancheiii4464]

18:05 Dicipline Dog H20 bottle Please keep us posted. I definitely would like to purchase one please.

[@tonelow5]

I work for usps and honestly I hate businesses also they absolutely suck . I’m lucky because I’ve had a hold down on a route that is all residential and it’s a jump route and it’s a 9 hour route . My other staff members hate my route they would rather do businesses and being inside buildings I can’t do suite to suite and huge corporate office buildings it makes me want to blow my head off . I’m thankful for my hold on my route right now but when my bid goes back up I’m gonna be kicked off it and unassigned again which means my supervisor then will put me on a random route until I bid on another route that I like again in our office !!!! Sorry to hear about what your going through Chris with the businesses . They really do suck . Your videos are awesome by the way

[@LaosHouse]

learning businesses always suck but once you know, you know for next time.

[@Tanjirgamenggod]

[@desibahi379]

I love watching your videos from India. I love it. God bless you, Chris.. be safe.😊

[@puertoricanstyl5570]

That's wild that you don’t have to have people sign on your phone. I have to do it every time I hand it directly to someone. If they caught us doing that, we'd get in a lot of trouble. My trainer said it's ok to sign yourself if it's a residence, but any businesses, schools, etc. needs a signature. But we'd still technically get in trouble if they found out we were signing for a resident.

[@elcocaino8728]

Got my route cut today and here I am watching Chris Sing🙌🏽made my day better

[@LaosHouse]

They dropped mine last Saturday. Don't worry peak is around the corner

[@donofchron4204]

Thanks for making this video... Now I know WHY AND HOW my neighbor is able to steal my signature packages so easily. Signature is for a reason... I have been screwed out of soooo much money because Amazon drivers forge my signature. I call amazon to tell them my package didn't arrive amd they always say "well you did sign for it"... When I didn't sign ANYTHING... PURE LAZINESS.😢

appreciate your comment eddie

[@TooGreedywubz]

The DSP I currently work at has a heavy business route that I have a hate/love relationship! Since we are the last wave that leaves the station around 11:30-40AM means I need to be rushing because most of them close around 3-5 pm! The cherry on top is when I get to the drop offs is around lunch time. No one at the front desk, and no safe location to leave packages!! But when all goes well on the route I’m usually done by 5pm!(Los Angeles/Culver City area)

[@imjustaguy1234]

Yeah it really makes no sense why people at the warehouse are not putting business routes to early mornings when they open. Unless they're expecting DSP last to have rescuers to split a heavy business route

[@TheOnlyEnzo]

it feels illegal to be this early

[@LaosHouse]

It should be illegal

[@Zacksproductions1]

So happy to see another video! Thanks for posting dude.

[@LaosHouse]

Thanks for commenting. you guys keep me going

[@JGman32]

First-time delivery to new business/industrial areas will always suck , I don't know where to leave the packages, front,back, side door, trap door, that one manager that can be the only one to accept packages. Nonethess, it gets better after your first time, but damn...does it suck in the beginning.

[@LaosHouse]

100% I feel so lost sometimes and don't know the procedures in some places

[@earldasquirrel9176]

If the previous driver went to the correct points, the future delivery will be easier to follow to the geo fence 👍

[@liamgeorge7317]

Congrats on 100k, well deserved!

[@Deja117]

I wish Amazon gave more space to write delivery notes. So far, I am able to leave a note telling them where to go to find my block of apartments (since it is a little confusing to be honest), and to press the call button on the intercom, that way they can at least chuck the parcel safely in if they're in a rush. I just wish I could write "I will meet you at the door for heavy packages" too. 😅

[@LaosHouse]

if your intercom has pin for drivers, that it the best for us

[@shadowless86445]

I just do not have patience for signatures. At businesses I switch it to residential and take a picture of the ground. 8/10 times there’s no one available to sign at residentials and I can get fired for signing however if I call and god willing they ANSWER!!!! they agree to let me sign and leave it somewhere safe. I get paid per stop after all so I wanna deliver everything.

maybe unpopular opinion, but I could cope with apartments way better than businesses even a few business deliveries at the beginning of the route could severely screw me up as I waste time figuring out where to enter and where to go

You never leave packages outside , making contact with someone in a company is always important , you’re leaving things for it to be stolen

Usually on weekdays when I deliver to businesses for example if I had 90 or 100 stops it takes me 10 stops per hour then in the evening I hustle to deliver to residentials

Have you noticed yet that when you scan packages, it immediately opens the camera? As the camera is open, you can still switch where you left it. New amazon flex update it weird but I kinda like it 😂

25+ stops per hour is what most DSPs usually wants Maybe 20 stops per hour minimum

Dispatch can watch every driver on the laptop, phone, and desktop PC Some wants 20 stops minimum per hour. 25-30 stops is more ideal
