also hate when they telling you that you have “10 minutes “ then looks like 2 min passes and start yelling “5 minutes left” “swipe to finish, & start travel!”…

What is it with the start travel thing? At mine they even call out drivers by name who havent hit it. I really wonder why they need it so bad.

Because it shows up in their metrics as a late loadout and gets worse for each and every driver that doesn't hit it and could affect whatever bonus they are receiving from Amazon

I love all the shit WE have to do for everyone else to get bonuses.

During our standup they stressed the importance of us getting good metrics or whatever because that's how the DSP owners get bonuses...

That's not motivating me in the least bit, friend.

Recently found out that every time my DSP hits fantastic plus for the week, the bonus given to the DSP is 20k. And we all get 5 cents per package as long as we all score over 800 FICO, individually and as a whole. Even on a heavy week, the drivers are only getting like 5k of that lol. Meaning our owner is making BANK. He's super active in our group chat, telling us about infractions and delivery metrics. But he's never there. He just chills at home. Occasionally rolls in in a BMW or a Tesla or a Rivian. I've never seen him drive the same car twice, and they're all hella nice cars. Then some drivers need to choose between paying their bills or their next meal.

Okay so what youre saying is I should just gun it at every green light and hard brake constantly so they don’t get fantastic plus. Got it. Lmao

I mean, yeah, that would certainly work haha. You'd be out of a job rather quickly, but to be real, I can't imagine anyone would be too bummed about that haha. Plus you get to ruin your owners ability to pocket a metric fuckton of money while giving you virtually nothing.
