As someone that drove for Amazon for about 2.5 years, my advice would be to first of all try to consider Amazon a last option unless you're sure you want to drive for a job, then I'd suggest to drive for Amazon for about 6 months to a year, once you have that time in start looking for a better job. There's alot of driving jobs out there that may require a little experience, but will pay better and appreciate your work ethic, Amazon won't. I've found the longer you stay at Amazon the more mental and physical stress it will put on you with increased workloads, more harsh rules and demands amongst other things. It's just a stepping stone job like fast food but pays a little more.

[@philstone5195]

I'm 63 and have almost worked for two years at the same DSP. I didn't have a delivery job before either. It is very physical (have lost almost 30 pounds since I started) and stressful. For me, the stress comes from not knowing your route on a day-to-day basis, and if you deliver in a hilly area with narrow roads or lots of apartments, it takes a toll. Given all this, my attitude is to just do the damn job and don't complain, and it's worked for me. I usually have an 850 FICO score and get regular bonuses.

I live in Texas and delivering in the heat was no joke, but luckily, we too had a reduced route as well so I was always finishing my route at like 5 or 6 ish most of the time during hot days!

If you like to stay active and have a good working mindset and can think quick on your feet than it's the job for you. If you don't like physical labor, being hot, working in the rain, etc than it's not the job for you. The key is to use the job to your benefit. I see it as a challenge at times to get better and I pride myself in not being rescued so I work as safe as I can while also trying to be efficient as possible to get my route done. I only work 3 days a week, I don't have a manager breathing down my neck and I mostly deliver in nice areas and I see something new everyday so I actually enjoy the job. Their are times where it may seem like it's a lot of work but than I just think to myself where else am I going to work 3 days a week, enjoy nice scenery daily and not have to work with co workers all day?

I have no problem working hell I’ll work 80 hours a week as long as the conditions are reasonable. I too have held a full time job since I was 17. With all due respect this guy is glossing over a key fact that Amazon farms this work out to independent companies called DSPs and the quality and overall employer integrity varies depending on your DSP. There are really good ones who show their employees basic respect and there are bad ones who want you to skip breaks and either hold it or piss in bottles and yes some of these managers are not shy about announcing that at a morning meeting before load up. Not to mention the dogs and the piss poor hands off approach the DSPs and Amazon take. These are some of the main things that jack the turnover up. Anyone who’s got any experience with delivering for a DSP knows this “company man” most likely has it fairly easy with a decent drivable delivery area. Come talk to me when your delivering in a project like apartment complex getting chased by pit bulls and your DSPs only concern is getting the packages delivered even if you are bitten. It’s not always worth the hassle.

[@jonesaundre3]

What the real problem is is that there is no set amount t of stops and package count if the stop count was 125 with a package amount of 240 that is at least 8.5 to 9.5 hour day with a 30min break that's a set amount that allows for a proper 30min lunch break that is mandated by law as well as two 15 min breaks. However what people fell to realize is that it depends on your area that your dsp delivers to

He in California Amazon DSP drivers make 19.75 hr where fast food workers by law start at $20 hr.. so you can run to all your stops for Amazon or you can make someone a sandwich and make more

[@lukedavenport8576]

That’s depending on the dsp though some will pay more like $24 as a FedEx driver it’s the same thing. Plenty will pay you $18hr or $150 a day or so me personally I do FedEx and did my research to get the highest paying one here which is $24hr in a state like ks that’s pretty solid. They also don’t have as much bs rules like Amazon where you gotta call dispatch when you’re done or take the keys out every stop. High turnover with physical labor but I think the job is easy if you know what you’re doing and are fit. 8 to 5 haven’t been out past 5 in the span of about 8 months now and 4 days a week mon-Thursday.

There’s so many things that go wrong in this job. Every day something goes wrong. The contractors are run by kids in their 20’s and it’s trial and error. Stupid things like software errors and bad reception, along with crummy phones slow employees down to a halt. If it was unionized things would be much better. Amazon doesn’t want that and I guarantee that the deliveries will be self automated before that happens. Amazon is obsessed with their customers (to harvest your data) yet doesn’t give a crap about their employees. Or in the drivers state, not their employees.
