For those wondering, mandatory rescues usually only happen with DSPs that offer guaranteed hours every week. Meaning if you get done early you still get your full days pay. At least from my experience. Found one that offered both guaranteed pay and paid rescues, those are the unicorns.

[@JankyJack]

Same with mine. Some are part-time, some full-time. So if someone who's full time is running super late, they'll send a rescue, usually from someone who is part-time, or vise-versa if you're full time and finish early, they'll send you to rescue. It's all mandatory. But if you have to rescue a certain amount of times/week, they pay per stop. So it kind of evens out the pros/cons. One DSP in my warehouse pays auto OT pay for rescues.

My DSP has mandatory rescues. What I do is, once I hit around 40-50 stops, I take my time so that I don’t have to do rescues. Usually I can get 25-30 stops done a hours, so I turned that 25 to 12, because I don’t feel like getting done by 6:30 and then having to pick up 30 stops.

I’ve only been rescued once because I had a bunch of deliveries to a psychiatric center and I had a hard time finding all the buildings because I wasn’t familiar with the campus. After a couple weeks I got much better at it. Sometimes my dispatchers send me a sweeper to take some packages from me and sometimes they don’t. I’m always appreciative when they do send me help.

Just some advice. At night I use a head flash light that I converter to go around my wrist like a watch so I can still hold packages with both hands and still shine my light. I also got a thin 5000mah battery with its own built in type c cable that slips into a phone dry case. So I can work in the rain while still charging so no need for wires and power bricks. I also stick on a metal magnet plate on 1 side of the case so it works with magnet mounts too. Ive been a driver for 3 years and 2 months and it works good for me.

I saw something like this not long ago. At the time I thought the first truck had broken down. But after the rescue truck left there was a few minutes pause before the first truck left.

I no longer do this job but I always hated getting done and sent to rescue then having the driver that I rescued getting finished and heading in before me. Most of the time it was the same person and they were sandbagging just to get help so I would start sandbagging on my own route and get done just about an hour and a half or two hours before I was supposed to be in. Most of the time there would be drivers that got done earlier and they would get sent to rescue and I would get to go in. I didnt mind helping someone out that had a big route and actually needed it (believe me, I needed it from time to time) but when someone just sandbags because they want someone else to do their job then I play their games too.

[@BobRoss-kt4yu]

@@jesterfrx1682 surprised people actually wanna know, so I’ll say The job is interesting to say the least. I’m on my 3rd week delivering now, and it’s weird. I enjoy the job, but it can be tough going into work sometimes. The start of the day can be a bit overwhelming with a van filled with totes and oversized packages, but by the end of the day when you’re done and driving back to RTS (return to station), it’s a great feeling. Right now I drive a Mercedes sprinter van and deliver from 100-160 stops, 150-250 packages a day. The best route I got was in a gated community, the second best was a residential neighborhood but in a low-income neighborhood (it’s a bit harder than gated communities), and the worst route I got was in a rural country area with long distances between stops and run-down roads. As for the job incentives, my DSP doesn’t really incentivize that much to work faster, which sucks. You do get paid $1 per stop if you rescue someone, but there’s been days I worked as hard and fast as I could to finish early so I could get rescued and got sent home early. I realize I could’ve just took my 2 optional 15 minute breaks instead of skipping them and worked a bit slower to make more $ that day. So now I just work at an average pace because you don’t really make more $ by working faster, even with rescue incentives. I don’t plan on doing this long-term, otherwise I’d try to get hired by UPS/Fed Ex, just doing this to make some $ to pay for another semester. Not sure how/why anyone would do this job long-term. It’s long hours, physical days in hot weather and rain, dealing with traffic and dogs. I make $18.50 an hour in SW Florida, but even though I complain, I’d rather do this job than work indoors all day for $13-15 an hour. It’s nice to constantly be on the move and work by yourself. Sorry for the long comment but yeah, that’s my rant. If you have any questions or anything I’d be happy to answer.

Interesting insight into your work, as I too work as a delivery driver with heavy loads that would most likely break your delivery trucks due to their weight. The most delivery-stops I had so far was 30 and that is more than enough for one day The heaviest load I have ever dealt with was on an industrial pallet (EPAL classification) and weighed around 1 tonne (metric) and I didn't have an electric pallet truck at the time... So far I have only had one day where I had to take a pallet from a colleague, more specifically a driver working for our subcontractor, because he was way too early for the customer, opened at 10:30 (I think) and my colleague would have been at the customer promptly at 9 or so, that was a few years ago now so my memory of the actual times is a bit hazy. And since the company I work for is one of the largest providers of temperature-controlled transport in Europe, if the vehicle breaks down completely, it is best if this happens at a store where I can coordinate with the staff and my superiors to store the goods that need to be cooled in the cold storage facility there until a replacement truck comes to pick them up and take them back to the depot.

Really enjoyed this vide you make delivering so easy man .

[@cf7450]

props to you man, i couldnt make it past the first day, 290 packages in arizona heat on my "daycare" intro route. they said it gets to 500-700 packages during prime and holidays. Fortunately i finished in 8 hrs with no breaks or lunch, so didnt need a rescue, but was in too bad of shape to continue the next day.

[@sweatter8213]

Its tough to just jump right into that if your not used to it, they should have some sort of ramp up system to get people acclimated better imo

[@thingserik7269]

How do you deliver basically a package a minute for 10 hrs? Just say no

[@SeniorBillzy]

@@thingserik7269 yeah… 25-35 stops/hr in residentials and then “slowing down” to 15-20 stops/hr in the country. If you keep that pace its more like 8 hours

[@SeniorBillzy]

@@sweatter8213 They do, honestly I never once heard of 500-600 packages even during peak. I get 2-300 a day and I’m a lvl 3 driver, definitely depends on your route or jf you drive cdv. But usually nursery intro routes are like 80-150 stops

[@TheMightyCookieShow]

I landed a seasonal job a few years ago at UPS. initially, you have the thought of eventually taking over one of the routes and making "real money" but what i discovered were guys who started at say 7 in the morning but was not dont till like 8 or 9 that same evening. It was at this point, i abandoned and thoughts of taking a route.

[@TheDafyddDuck]

So is there punishment or less pay if someone's rescues you cause they're taking your packages?

[@Nothing-io7il]

Nope

[@broderp]

I'm my area if Amazon is running late, they just stop delivery. I had a few pagages now where I was literally within 3 stops, and the truck stopped about a mile from my house at an address for over 20 minutes before Amazon said my package was delayed. It was around uh d 7pm when this occurred as well. Not a happy custo er those days..

[@totoroutes5389]

Have you ever thought of getting the A-class truck license? Being a general labour worker for that company is slave work.

[@totoroutes5389]

@@anthonymercado8126 Choose companies with local day schedule (set schedule, health insurance, go home everyday). example: walmart, usps, grocery warehouse

[@dakota9821]

the reason there is a "shortage" of truckers is because no one wants to pay a fair wage, not because no one has the CDL

[@fasthighwaydriver59732]

​@dakota9821 if you want to get paid good as semi driver apply for small trucking companies not the large companies

[@BurnttBurrito]

You should get a flashlight helmet or headband thats super bright and just stick it up in the truck somewhere just for the times youre out at night.

[@baddowg961]

Not sure how often you deliver in the dark, but I would say (even though it may look a little sketchy) get a good flashlight, definitely been a good investment for me (I work at FedEx). One of my coworkers just switched to amazon and I've been thinking about doing the same.

[@OfficialEj1]

Which one you suggest?

[@mikeyg6631]

Been there and done that for two years and i don't miss it one bit na im lying it was pretty cool to be out and about on the road all day and getting a great cardio workout and some heavy lifting. Only part that sucked is i worked there during COVID times. So in having that said we would have between 140 to 200 stops and within that time you gotta eat and that puts you back and also finding a washroom because no gas station would let you in (because of COVID) made good money tho!! Hated buildings with multiple stops in it. However The customer's really appreciated our work and what we were doing. Also bought some Amazon stocks during that time too!!

[@itscalinx4425]

I was not a Delivery driver, but I was a Comcast Resi-TECH and most of the time I would call around to other techs to see if they needed help. I know the feeling of falling behind and feeling the pressure to finish your job 😢

[@tommygames7489]

Hey man! Love the content. Saw they have been updating the decals on the van. Do you have any idea why they are doing it?

[@melodytheyeen]

My DSP just does it on a who’s behind after 6:30 or 7:00 basis. I remember one time management had me drive 45 minutes all the way out to the country after my urban route. Then by the time I got there, the rescue was called off. I won’t complain about that tho. That’s an extra hour and a half on the clock for me.

[@LaosHouse]

ayy just driving and enjoying the view

[@Phelan-M]

I work for FedEx express if I parked in someone’s driveway like that they would write me up. We can back into them and turn around but parking nope.

[@fasthighwaydriver59732]

If an person that lives in a house is snitch then they will snitch. Amazon driver and UPS drivers always park at my driveway, one UPS driver parked for 10 minutes 😂I don't care if they park if it's some civilian on their private car then no I will kick them out, if it's delivery drivers parking at my driveway I don't care

[@drewonion83]

Get you a light up vest and a led spot light that mounts on your head. Make night delivery alot easier. I use it for semi deliveries at night. Good luck

[@EmergencyGuy]

Where I live, you can hear the sounds of nature with the occasional aircraft flyover, which is a helicopter, fixed wing private prop plane, or regional jet airliner. Regional airline service recently came back to my local airport, which I’m happy about because the Little Leaguers and their families use my local airport to come into town from all over the world.

[@chrisvong9845]

The latest update for flex is you can't mark select all even if it's all the same house you have to take a picture twice, dang it !

[@LaosHouse]

It's been like that for a while. It sucks when you do apartments

[@mrmcgee7629]

Sounds like a good dsp you work for i got my cdl for this stuff but dont know if i want to go back to a DSP around northeast 😮‍💨

[@CrohnsieGaming]

I use to drive for FedEx and I would have to meet two other drivers every morning to take some of their stops, ontop of my average of 120 stops. After doing that, I would usually add 30-40 more stops to my route. Left for a long day, especially when it normally would take 1 hour and 45 minutes to get to my first stop. Stopping and grabbing what they had left me getting to my stop usually around 2 1/2 hours after leaving the terminal.

[@VERONICALIGONCRAVIN]

Your DSP is different - with my DSP, it’s part of your shift if you finish your route early - I did two rescues yesterday!

[@thomasdinh2753]

I like your videos. Shows what to expect

I knew it was jersey immediately the minute you made your first turn after picking up the packages 😂 Common “hurry and turn”.
