What Your First Day Delivering For Amazon Will Look Like

Congratulations! You are going to be a DSP Amazon Driver. Have you ever wonder what your first day driving for Amazon looks like? This is everything you need to know as I recreate a nursery route. a nursery route is kind of like a beginner route where its only between 20-80 stops. It's pretty easy and you'll gradually get more each and everyday.

[@asapcap]

Let me help some of yall out. Sorting packages by number is a waste of time. Once you know what bag you're working out of, empty it out and put the boxes on the passenger seat and envelopes/bags on the floor in between the seats.

[@gringa23]

Yep that is what I had to do with FedEx and their system is horrible!! But without bags lol

[@JessNW0lfG4NG]

I'm two weeks in and it's been the most physically demanding jobs if you're looking to get out on time or early. What I've learned, avoid those breaks if you can, eat on the go, minimize your fluid intake but keep a Gatorade or water with you always, organize your stops which will make your job easier & pay attention to the driver aid numbers on your packages cause they help cut down time. Power walk or jog at all stops, don't take your sweet time cause you'll be there longer and more than likely will have unhappy customers due to them getting their packages late. Organization will always make your job so much easier. Get a marker for your overflow boxes, make sure all driver aid stickers are easily visible to you. If you get out through the side door, be sure that before you sit down to driver to your next stop, grab the next packages. Anything that helps you cut down time while not getting any infractions, will help you a ton. Ask coworkers and leaders for tips too. I work for an awesome DSP so the whole team is super friendly and always be willing to help you out. Also avoid the bi-weekly and sloppy DSP's I've seen so many employees from other DSP's just be plain reckless and careless. Follow customer instructions to the T, don't waste time if there is no access to your drop opp, just call the customer and if you get no answer, you bring those back to the station or return at a later time. Your movement speed has to be swift or at a decent pace, start scanning as you walk towards their house, have the phone ready for the picture and you'll be in and out. I usually work the 9:30 AM shift, sometimes the 12:30 PM shift and my goal is always to be done with my route by 6, the latest 7:00 PM.

[@jimjr9143]

While i really like videos like these and this type of job, amazon pushes to many deliveries on one person way too much . No wonder they are constantly hiring . Appears to be slave labor . The quoted text . “Avoid breaks” “power walk or jog” are unacceptable . Report cards . Aggressive DSP’s ….. no way

Just go in the order they tell you. For most stations lanes don't matter unless loadout is inside.

[@sooperburrito]

I remember my dsp and a bunch of other dsps moved to a brand new station so obviously it had size and operational differences than the previous station and of course, on opening day, as my boss was calling out our names to go into the station, my name was called first. I was kinda panicky because I wasn't even sure where the drive-in entrance was lol but someone else went ahead of me and I followed, much relieved

Thanks for another great vid Chris! Could you possibly go over how to deal with parking every time you stop for the next delivery? Like situations in narrow streets, no curb space to pull over, blocking traffic, all of the above when you have to make many trips to drop off packages to the same house, etc? Also, whats the deal with cases of beverages? I ordered like 6 cases of drinks that were coming in 3 separate shipments (don’t ask me why), but all 3 deliveries got cancelled due to damage. How do you damage a case of drinks? Seems like it would crush all the other packages first 😄 Are the drivers possibly rejecting them because of the weight? Not sure if drinks are delivered by DSP or Flex drivers.

[@LaosHouse]

for parking you just need to double park everywhere if there's no other way. You'll have to block traffic but you get used to it. Anything liquid gets damage easily since it's being thrown around the warehouse. I have a video coming up about packages that get delayed.

I drive for Amazon Flex Logistics for 2+ years now. I think I got this. My biggest problem with flex is sometimes they give us oversized packages that won't fit into my vehicle on the 1st place. Most I've done was a 44 stops with 48 packages (all cramped into my 04 Honda Accord) for a 4 1/2 hours shift. Got those done in a little over 3 hours.

[@colecovington8133]

So how much do they pay you for that? Cause I actually deliver for a dsp and I’m just wondering what it’s like

[@HelloThereUniverse]

@@colecovington8133 It depends on pay. I'm in NYC so typically they pay $19 an hour & I usually work for a 3 or 4 hour blocks. I decided to join DSP mainly because of my personal vehicle. I drive an 04 Honda Accord with 209K miles and quite frankly I do not want to add any more miles to it. Plus it doesn't help when I drive for flex, you gotta pay for pretty much everything (gas, insurance, maintenance and so on). Flex routes cab be challenging sometimes. A week ago I had a round with 60 packages (managed to fit everything into my car somehow) with 60 stops (1 package per stop). Sometimes I'll get 50+ packages but only 15 stops or so but most of them goes to the projects.

[@ronaldraygun3591]

@@colecovington8133 the pay varies on flex he could have got $80 for that block or $150 it just depends on the day/weather. And I’ve done Flex and DSP and I can confidently say DSP is the way to go, better routes, they provide and pay for fixing vans and gas, paid by the hour so no need to rush, and you never have to call driver support because dispatch can help and they actually know wtf they are talking about not reading a script

[@LaosHouse]

Sometimes the aid numbers go highest to lowest and other days, lowest to high. I will never understand 😭

[@robertcherman]

This is how the driver aids number work. As people buy products from Amazon, the algorithm puts the packages in order. When the route is complete, the algorithm tries to fix the route. And this is when they get out of order, and it still happens today. What I have found is that the original order is usually routed better, then the 2nd attempt from the ai algorithm.

Quick question… with the constant starting and stopping of the engine, it must affect gas mileage on the vans with so many deliveries. Does Amazon let you take time to fill the tank during your route, or do they just fill at at the distribution center?

[@BaphoMedia]

End of route you go fill it up. Amazon pays for it it won’t come out of your check or anything. Almost like a “gas card” deal. Basically the previous driver the day before at the end of their shift SHOULD HAVE filled the truck up with fuel so when the next guy comes in the next day that van is filled to the top with fuel. If not then it’s either grounded and they get you another van that’s filled up OR they’ll have you load up then go fuel up

[@annache8095]

Hey Chris Thanks for the video Question 1) let’s say your route is 8 hours, but you finish in 6 hr. Do you receive payment for 8hrs? 2) is hours and days of work flexible?

[@ianlong9403]

Depends on the 3rd party company you apply for. For my company they do that. But the four other companies inside my amazon station don’t.

[@unfltrdpassion]

Get the name of the dsps and call each to see what they offer. If they offer more perks just switch. Super easy. If you've been driving for another dsp they don't have to pay for driving and you're in the system as far BG check, etc. If they're hiring and they always are they will gladly take you. Becareful though bc alot are bait and switch. The one I was with said they had insurance/health benefits then when I was about to start im asking when do I sign up for benefits as this job can be taxing on your body. They said of you have to wait 2 months and be full time. So what is full time? Youre on for 40 hours a week but it's not guaranteed. Such a pain dealing with little things like that. Also my dsp talked about the fico score every meet up but we never got any incentive for good scores. Amazon gives dsps bonuses for good scores, which is why they keep talking about it and some dsps owners like mine were keeping the money. There are other who share it or give out tvs, tablets etc. My dsp was crap and I honestly knowing this cared less about the fico. The job simple but every DA is under paid, imo

[@cyanide5081]

Man I wanna know who in Cooperate IT is implementing these micro managing bullshit on Drivers. The job is to drive and deliver, that's literally it. Tracking your vehicle use and scoring and quality of photos that can hurt YOU or the DSP is beyond stupid. I bet meanwhile people in Cooperate are getting paid like way way more, as in they can afford a fancy condo.

[@samanthav8728]

Hey, as a fit 52yo, 125lb female how would it be for me to have an average delivery route? I love to work and like being busy consistently. Is the job set up for success or is it something that you either get or don't? I hope I asked that right.

[@jasonrussell5521]

I recently applied for Amazon in Dublin and managed to get into the training, just my iPhone 11Pro max is causing issues with uploading my license etc which is very frustrating. My training is supposed to be tomorrow but my license still can’t be uploaded through the website link.

[@EC4U2C_Studioz]

What gas station do you use to fill up the Amazon delivery vans?

[@robertcherman]

Usually, we have a couple of different places where you can go.

[@Ben10105]

You just leave parcels at front door? What if someone steals them

[@Eric-mh3kf]

does every van come with a phone mount or would i need to bring my own everyday to mount to the van ill be using for the day?

[@robertcherman]

Everything is provided.

[@xing2809]

thanks

[@Prec1sionHD]

what benefits do they give? like company gas cards and food money or no? Love the content keep it up!

[@bikegoon]

none

[@LaosHouse]

benefits only apply if you hit a certain amt of hours. we have company gas cards

[@miguely1106]

Bro my dsp did me dirty. My first nursery route I had 16 bags and 60 overflow packages. It wasn’t right my man. And they put me in the country smh 😑

[@chrisvong9845]

People need to be aware of the meaning of "cubed out". Like if your van is overstuffed to the brim your gonna have a bad day.

[@chrisvong9845]

Also the flex app change how the picture are supposed to be like if you have any house number in the photo it gets cut out which really suck if customers instructions say they want to include their apt # 😤

[@bikegoon]

I'm sure he will learn what 20 bag and 40 overflow looks like haha!

[@LaosHouse]

that's why everyone needs drive the step van. The rivians look like they have a lot of space too

[@majicweather4890]

These "DSP" companies sure can do things differently. For example, I heard that one didn't want the driver putting any packages in the front passenger seat. Something's dont make much sense

[@robertcherman]

That is an Amazon policy. So, my guess is that the DSP is following what Amazon wants.

[@zeeksreal]

This definitely is chris fix

[@peterscalise3101]

do you have to turn off the engine of the van when arriving at a stop every single time?

[@M4K9G22]

I think thats law here on CA

[@LaosHouse]

As a driver, you're supposed to secure your vehicle perhaps not everyone follows that rule

[@peterscalise3101]

@@LaosHouse yeah I was thinking about how many times a day the van/truck would be turned on/off and if it would be affected by it, but it makes sense to turn it off and take the key so that the van and packages don’t get stolen! I grew up in Bergen County but moved well before I started to drive. I drive there once in a while to visit family and driving around there is not fun in a car let alone a van or truck stay safe out there!

[@christiangarcia0528]

I prefer ground more then Amazon, always end up doing never more then 130 stops, when I was at amazon I was doing 180-230 stops a day and it was really exhausting, plus all the rules u have to follow like mentor and the camera thing, just dumb

[@copeboy25]

I remember these days lol

[@austingray6885]

I’m just over a week in and I got over 170 stops today. I got rescued three times. And the last one was 150 stops and I got rescued once even though I’m still hauling ass.

[@juliopravia3387]

Hey Austin Remember you have to make 25 stops per hour if you can do that you’ll be good. Make sure you skips your breaks and your lunch and try no to use the bathroom or you will be behind. That’s the only way I can make 180 stops and be done by 8:15 and be back at the station by 8:45-9:00. I’m looking for another job. Good luck.

Has the gps system gotten any better? When I drove for them 2 years ago, the gps system was god awful

[@robertcherman]

It will only continue to get worse. The more rules they add to the algorithm, the more chances it has to mess up.
