I’m quitting tomorrow. My DSP thinks we’re robots and that we should do 200 stops in a timely manner

Facts. 1. 10:20-8:20....in the ghetto.. sometimes I don't get back home until 10pm and I'm gone from 9:30am-10pm 2. The 30min commute both ways to the job and home 3. The loose pitbulls trying to bite you (irresponsible dog owners / neighbors - making it impossible to deliver to the house) - I got bit once..(didn't break skin) 4. The ammount of expectations to work safely, yet rushed + cameras + ai tracking = stressful as fuck 5. Dealing with terrible drivers that speed, run red lights, don't stop for stop signs, parked in the middle of the 4 way intersecion to have a conversation with someone they know 6. The commute to the delivery area 30-50min drives... (hoping there ain't not major pileup) - usually don't get there until 12-12:20... 7. Customers that want extra steps 8. Apartments that are impossible to access & can't mark it unable to deliver due to the orange circle being out of reach. 9. Dispatchers expecting you to finish 160-200 stops within 8hrs... including driving back to the hub + gas + park + not getting your break 10. The wheather (still expected to finish the route in a timely manner ) 11. The non-existant benefits 12. Never getting 40hrs a week despite being full time 13. Possibility to lose a days of work due to customer feedback / low fico score 14. Having to drive unsafe vans... even if the brakes need to be replaced & backup camera's don't work, 15. no where to use the bathroom (I feel bad for my female coworkers) 16. Business routes / college campus's 17. The pay being under $20...

Brother I just quit today, mid route too. The first thing you mentioned about the temperature was one of my reasons. It's hot as hell like 90+, your sweating bullets looking for the mf packages, getting in and out of the van walking up to the houses over and over, while the suns beating down on you, your holding up traffic with your hazards, karens are getting mad at where you parked. Sometimes ya can't even find a good spot for the house so you gotta walk a bit. I was like f this im out. I will say I tip my hat to those who deal with it cause its NOT easy!

I've been working at a DSP here in Florida for one month and I love it. It's not that hard. Granted, I worked in construction for 5 years and I'm a natural athlete, so that helped me a lot.

[@thomasgamba9252]

Agreed it’s not difficult just super annoying at times

Same here Been working in construction since 2012 in Las Vegas 💀 Been considering to work for DSP since there's a lot of work in Vegas

It looks like your DSP sucked. The contractor can make or break the job for sure, and this gig isn't forever.

It's a horrible business and Amazon has DSP owners on a leash. That is why it sucks for drivers. We get blamed 100% of the time.

My first day was June 4. They gave me 315 packages and said it was a level 1 nursery route

[@thomasgamba9252]

Holy crap man!! I’m so sorry this happened 😩

Run dude. They bogus for that.
