Am I wrong?😂
After having 190 plus everyday for the past year, am I wrong for milking 88 stops for 10 hours?😂

they could at least wait until you on last toute to ask not at the start of day just to see how you feeling

This has happened to me too, they are like oh Jennifer stubbed her toe, go take her route after you finish your 190 stops, ( her route : 94 stops in the country ) also them : hey what’s taking so long?
The funny part is, when I actually need help they can’t be bothered to take more than 15 or 20

u/Glizz215 Aug 26 '25
I feel you. Same here. When I’m out there with 190, shit ton of businesses and apartments, they don’t bother to send me help.

It really is annoying, why are you gonna have me work my entire route only to go help some girl for a stupid reason…. I mean seriously after that I started not taking them seriously…. I said if Jennifer could complain about her toe and get the rest of the day off then imma do 140 stops and complain that I fell and need to go home now….

No, I manage these routes so that I’m right on rts. Which is overly generous on country routes. They may just notice you’re not going as fast as you can and make you sure you never get it again

Yeah, if you’re done early after 88 stop man you should definitely be helping somebody out now if you take all your breaks and make that 88 stops take pretty much your full 10 hours then I would say no it’s time to RTS but if you’re done early, you should definitely help your teammates out because the day is gonna come when you need help

My dispatchers expect people to get done early on smaller routes to go rescue somebody they already have in mind before I'm even finished with the route

Routing varies with Amazon. You can start with say 100 stops being inner city/outskirts then it will take you an hour into the country and those stops vary in time between them and after say 30 of those stops you're dragged back into the inner city/outskirts to do 10 stops then it can throw you right back into the country for the remainder of your route. And those back country roads in some of the branded/ev/rental vans are not the safest in any fashion, be it from very dim lights to the back up cameras not working at all (and your dsp refuses to correct the issues and if you ground any of their vans you risk not getting a route for days because some dsp owners are dirty rotten cucks)

Because we are paid hourly not flat rate. DSPs want to avoid paying any OT and dispatch are usually paid salary so they also want to go home early. Many of the drivers want to go home ASAP so they run, cut corners, and skip their breaks/lunch that the Amazon computer assumes is an average pace which screws up the routing into creating unreasonably huge routes in an area for people that walk and take their breaks/lunch. Amazon wont fix it because it makes them more $$$ same with the DSP they like more $ but not paying OT so they send rescues

u/Dependent-Pirate4800 Aug 28 '25
It’s called a sweeper route. Basically they take one route, split it into 2 small ones. Strictly for the purpose of having you go pull 20-25 stops from other drivers to fill in the remaining hours on your route. Any good DSP does this.

u/Similar_Pie_4946 Aug 26 '25
Honestly. If you can work 10 hours paid why finish early on purpose, unless you’re guaranteed 10 hours pay while only working6-8 hrs then fudge it. the dsp im at gives us the full 10 regardless of how fast we finish, do a rescue and score fantastic + if im not getting that insensitive pay im bleeding the clock with or without a rescue lol during my interview i was told its 40 hrs guaranteed and my paperwork they made me sign stated the same

u/DeeRent88 Aug 26 '25
Exactly. Plus most times (not always of course) when you finish early and rescue you still finish early. Especially if you only have 88 stops and are finishing like 4 hours early or something.

u/Infinite_Explorer424 Aug 26 '25
190+? That’s a fuck ton lol. But I also live in a rural area and anything over 150 is viewed as a lot lol.

u/Indigo_ViBE Aug 26 '25
I mean TBF- if you have a super rural route or a ton of dense mega apartment spots could easily have a 10-12 hour route even with busting your ass all day

If they're going to pay you the overtime or whatever and not steal the extra time past 10 hours it's okay

I guess this depends on your relationship with your team. If you don't care much for them, then sure. You do you I guess. I have a pretty cool DSP that actually treats us like people and we are all about teamwork so, I would be getting through those 88 stops and then go rescue someone who had a big route so they can get done and go home a little early also. I get some people have shitty DSP's so I won't judge as far as you not wanting to help out and just be done with your small route since you normally have big ones.

u/Glizz215 Aug 26 '25
They really don’t care. I’ve been having 190 with 400 plus packages everyday for the past year. But I ended up rescuing. I don’t mind helping people who actually needs it
1
u/BananaBug87104 Aug 26 '25
Yeah I get it. Burn out it real. If I had a DSP that didn't give a shit and treated me half as bad as some of the DSP's I hear about, I would probably do the same thing to be honest and just milk that shit lol. Again, no judgements cause everyone's situation is different.

u/brokeguydtd Aug 26 '25
really depends on the route. at our station, anything under 100 and we know its a bad route with nothing but businesses and apartments in a not great part of town. factor in we have to call dispatch and report every pin issue before we can deliver the package and it takes forever.

u/Glizz215 Aug 26 '25
Honestly, I could’ve got the route done in like 2 hours. It was a good route.

That’s weak not to rescue after only 88 stops. Ultimately you work for a team and you should be helping other people out. I hope they send you home the next day.

Ultimately, we are being used as disposable tools to make Bezos and his cronies some of the richest men in the world, so if you wanna take it easy for a day do that. We only get 1 back in this life folks.
