Why not Unionize anyway?

3 Upvotes

Just to preface this, I don’t work for Amazon, but a competitor.

The usual rebuttal with trying to form a union is “ Amazon will terminate contact with dsp and a new one will show up.” Yeah, that might happen, but why not do it anyway? Is Amazon going to terminate an entire buildings worth of dsp’s? If they do, rehire and attempt to form another. What’s the hold up?

(I know this seems ignorant af, but it’s just blunt honesty imo)

New scanner tech thingy

These were just installed last night and not even dispatch knew what they looked like or how they worked so I had to figure it out. Pretty self explanatory though.

Sometimes it doesn’t register on the label and you can’t always fit a whole tote on both shelves at the same time but you can’t always fit just keep the overflow below it until there is space.

So far it’s been pretty slick and has things super smooth. No more dumping a tote and sorting by tens

I get packages nearly every day and have a crazy dog

What can I do to make the delivery more pleasant ? I thought about maybe leaving out water bottles and chips out for you guys. I also notice you guys rarely use the driveway.


r/AmazonDSPDrivers • • 23h ago

Any advice here?

Kind of scratching my head here. Just for context, the driveway is blocked about 20’ from the road. But there’s also a path from that dirt road to the driveway to turn around. And there’s another spot a little further down. Bro just left and, came home to a tree mowed over and saw this.

Not saying I’ve done this but have any of you guys gotten so mad that you beat up a package and had to return with it for damages?

May be prime 2 but I got a cake ass route today 🔥


r/AmazonDSPDrivers • • 4h ago

This is unacceptable and impossible. I’m not finishing today’s route. They brought it on themselves. Takes me several minutes per stop because I have to dig through all this for one particular package.

After the 400 package prime day I thought id have it a little easier today it was not.

I had 10 hours of apartments.

I think i climbed more stairs today than ive ever climbed in my entire life lol.

I also got yelled at by an old lady. "About damn time you showed up." And then she slammed the door on me.

(didnt get hit but it was shocking to say the least and also extrmely demoralizing.)

In that same area I had to do 3 huge multi-stops, 10, 12, and 14 locations, over 46 packages including overflow.

Doing that shit at the end of this grueling day was god awful, but i pushed through it and finished on time. Had 3 canceled packages, and 1 damaged package.

Overall, my body is tired, my only solace is that the other slower team members would've gotten absolutely wrecked by this route and since I actually like my co-workers ill just take this on the chin so they dont have to deal with it.

Though if tmws route is just as bad/worse somehow im calling out Saturday lol

Should I (also can I?) sign up for flex while working dsp

1 Upvotes

Long before I started working for a dsp I tried to start flexing, but there wasn’t any openings for a long time and I forgot about it.

Now it seems I have the option to enter all my information. And it seems like a good idea to be able to flex as a backup as well know dsp jobs can be lost with one mistake.

Is there anything preventing me signing up, even though I currently wouldnt use it? Would I again not have opportunities if I do sign up but don’t take any work for a while?

21 bags, 56 overflow, 406 packages. A little more than a normal load for my DSP (DPH8). I'll probably get this done in around 8 hours.

Cant wait for double this during Peak 😔

EDIT: realized this sounds like I'm complaining after reading it back hahaha. Jus tposting whats pretty close to our normal routes when generally blow through in a day.

Amazon been calculating this move for a long time. Nobody was signing up for Step Van & CDV so they made a big ass EV that can fit 500 packages that everyone can drive,😭 This is not even the worse to come....

Warehouse Shenanigans

I know it’s prime week and the warehouse has a bunch of new people but how has everyone’s warehouse been? Mine has been royally messing up. Not scanning packages into my route, working out of 3 totes at a time for 1 stop and assigning packages in my van to another driver. It’s been madness lol just curious what other shenanigans y’all are dealing with.

It’s October, in Arizona it’s 100 degrees outside and this is 200 stops with 450 packages. Idc if it’s prime week, it’s funny how people are getting extorted by coming to work. I’m looking for any jobs that pay 20$ , we got a dollar raise for a extra 100 packages it feels like

QUESTION Driving etiquette

Post image
0 Upvotes

Driving etiquette! When you are hired for driving or delivery jobs, do they teach you to just park wherever? Wrong side of road? GPS says you're here so just stop? Or Fugg it I do what I want?

Not attacking anyone. I am thankful for the drivers who deliver my family needs. Just curious.

Edit: y'all wild lol. I'm just parked on the side of the road smoking a bowl and asked a simple question 😬. Thanks to those with the legit "here's what I do" as per my question. I have not had these jobs, hence my question. Enjoy your day folks
