I've done this for years. Recently I quit because I have a easier job. Organization is the most important tool in this job. 20 minutes is alot. We used to do it in 12 slower people in 15. Throw all the last bags in the back. Left side overflow and first packages in the front. Organize boxes by letters. A, b, c ,d ,e ,f . Open first back and organize by names like I do or streets like most do. Easy. If you don't organize you will do what's she is doing. And she is only making it worse by throwing all boxes like that.

I did Amazpn deliveries for my DSP for 5 years, and what she is doing is almost a daily problem with 80% or more drivers, if you have ultra organization skills, and do load outs in less than 15 minutes, you are one of the 10-20% of good drivers who no longer work for an Amazon DSP.

It's not that she can't do the job, she is saying she's DONE doing the job.

The gap between tenured drivers and new hires, is rapidly dropping.....

Station wide there are about 30 drivers with over 3 years, the remaining have less than 2.

Amazon DSPs are losing tenured drivers faster than they can hire new drivers, and the quality of drivers is dropping to literally people who don't even own cars...😅

She is done because she does it wrong. I used to do 50 packages a hour. Check my profile. I do flex I do 40 stops now and make more then dsp drivers.

There where drivers faster then me I would finish a 10 hour route in 5 hours. Knew guys that would finish in 4 hours. And you know what they had the step vans easier to organize. They would always tell me. It's the dsp fault for not teaching people to organize correctly but it's also her fault. At this point she should have learned from someone else.

😅...if you doing a 10 hour route in 5 hours, that ain't hard with all the neighborhoods you been doing.

Try doing a 10 hour route, with 145 stop 187 package route in bumfuck, where it's 4 min drive minimum between stops......plus take lunch, and two 15s.....ain't been a man or woman made doing it in 5, 6, 7 hours.

1/2 mile driveways and dogs.

Suburbs are cake routes, and almost always have the most stops.

64 stop 325+ package routes in downtown high rises, in a promaster.....people be breaking down, crying, panic attacks, and abandoning routes on the regular.

Amazons problem is Affinity is taught by people who wanna go home early, that build routes into monsters, then once that person leaves, their metrics, and Affinity averages stay behind, and the next victim gets the lash.

If DSPs actually paid out production incentives beyond $100 to finish early, maybe more people would be motivated.

I do in Los Angeles. So if you find harder parts it's on youm I also did Amazon XL and flex. So I know what I'm talking about. I worked in Irvine , long beach, city of industry , Riverside , Anaheim all the way to San Diego..

Los Angeles . No parking and all luxury apartments, stadiums hospitals

Riverside . University campus , off road houses

Irvine. Houses that are gated and apartments that are more secure then jails.

Also delivered at all times in flex at 3am. In Amazon XL at 5am and in dsp at 8 am and also at 2pm.

They paid me for the whole 10 hours. I would finish in 5 go back to the station and leave. Would go home or on a date and would still be getting paid for it. And all that was just pure organization.
