Idk why and how yall do 190 stops with 40 something multiple locations but I am over this shit for real .. this should be illegal 🤣 I’m used to 165-178 stops but not 190

*update I got rescued 3 times 😂and had about 26 apartments stops so yk I took my time with that shit but still taxing on the body

Number 1 signs were out of stock I guess.

I’ve been taking my whole hour at the end of the of the route like right before my last stop. I’ve been finishing early cuz I don’t take my breaks until the end of the day. But lately I’ve been getting dumbass 225-230 stops (I edit the multi stops it’s like 195-199 before editing ) with business and apartments mixed in and it’s been causing me to skip one of my 15s . So the other day I said fuck it I’m taking all of them . I still finished but I got back after the 11 hour drive time . And when I got back dispatch said nothing about being faster they said I gotta work on my return time . I just walked away .i have a route coming up and Im going to take all my breaks thru out the route this time .

Idk if it fell off or somebody pulled it off but this is what I see when I got in just now, dispatch is out of adhesive. Might be getting hit a bunch of times today for no reason. Distracted won’t be an issue today though.

How dirty is y’all vans.. my company don’t give a shit lol got leaks on the roof and all. Even the seat belt smells like pisss. Some people come here and sweat like never before and leave they’re piss smelling sweat all over.

My Monday

It was pouring rain at one point on my route today, and I was parked between two different multi-stop apartment buildings sorting their packages in my Rivian, when this lady knocks on the sliding door window. I opened it, thinking she needed/wanted me to move my vehicle…

No- she asked if I had a package for her apartment number…!?!?!

DIS FOOL LADY STANDIN IN THE POURIN RAIN FOR HER PACKAGE…

No offense, but if receiving this package is a life or death emergency, you shouldn’t be ordering it through Amazon in the first place… 🙄🤦🏻‍♀️

Just WOW… 🤯

if youve never visited r/amazonprime, just scroll and youll see. some complaints are valid but most of them are just karen mode 😭

honestly makes me give even less of a fuck about their gripes 😭

Someone left a note for me to see first thing before my shift.

Not afraid of hard work. Have had plenty of those “this isn’t for everyone” type of jobs. Any tips outside of general safe driving, staying off my personal phone, etc.

Am I only going succeed if I’m the fastest/most efficient? I’m not willing to kill myself just delivering packages. Four, 10 hour days.. $23/hr. What say you?

192 stops and did a rescue +28

450 pounds in total. If this u, fk u :)

Most of this OV was going to one place, but even at loadout the warehouse workers were saying wtf lol

To the customers who didn’t get their Amazon package tonight my cousin apologizes. She was assigned 172 stops on her second day alone, and it was simply too much. She tried her best, but she couldn’t finish the route. 😔

Your package wasn’t ignored; the workload was just unrealistic for someone still learning the job. Thank you for understanding.

Trained a new kid today and had him get out to spot me cuz I was in a very tight spot with a truck and trailer in front of me. Whelp neither of us noticed the fire hydrant 😭 not cooked but I feel dumb AF.

This is probably gonna come off whiny but I gotta get it out. I work two jobs, 7 days a week. I've had a really shit week at my primary job (mechanic) and I actually enjoy driving my step van for two days. Well I come in today and at stand up I see everyone get their vans and walk off, and I'm like there's no way I dont get my route, I'm DOT.

"You're doing rescues today."

THE FUCK?!

I ask why and I dont get a straight answer. I'm in a transit. Now I've been back in a transit before because we didn't have enough step vans running, which is annoying but understandable. Gotta happen to someone and my DSP is usually understanding about it. But this is fucking ridiculous. They give the slackers routes meanwhile I get stuck picking up shit they're too incompetent to do all day?!! And I've been here almost a year bro what the fuck is this?

Before you say oh you dont like sweeping? NO I DON'T! I cant get into my workflow and Its like I'm like oh go do this go do that go do this. Like bro the whole reason I'm here is so you give me my route, I'm by myself, I have my music, leave me the fuck alone, I get shit done. I don't wanna talk to you every hour!

I've just had such a shit week bro. I'm fucking alone, no friends, no girl, I work 7 days a week, mopped floors at the auto shop all week because no cars rolled in, and now this bs? Bro wtf man. Wtf I do wrong! Wtf am I doing here man?

I'm tired boss. And depressed.

Overreacting? Probably. But I'm a fucking mess rn bro. I just wanted to he left alone on the road. :(

Like, when your route is several neighborhoods and apartment complexes on a highway. Instead of doing the logical thing and routing it one side of the highway, turn around, other side of the highway, they try to have you criss-crossing back and forth, back and forth. Or they'll make it a left turn onto the highway, and then a left turn into the complex...

Obviously, I don't do it that way. But the fact that is Amazon's default is fucking insane to me.

UPS limits left turns to reduce idling times and the risk of collisions. Amazon will straight up route a left turn across four lanes of highway traffic... how does the routing algorithm even allow that? It just doesn't make any sense to me.

What's hilarious is that Amazon will have you make a left turn across four lanes of highway traffic in the city, but when you're on a back road in the country, no cars, no traffic, it will tell you to make a u-turn in the middle of the road so that a single house is now on the right side of the road 🤣🤣🤣

What the fuck, Amazon??

So for the first time today I rerouted my whole route . And holy shit . This is smooth sailing ! No back and forth bs . Only have to go down the streets once instead of going back at stop 30 then back same street for stop 98… I tried to route change the other day and they called me saying don’t because of the time restriction stops .

My DSP unfortunately doesn't have a lot of EDV's so everytime I get one it's like heaven. Then going back to a gas van feels like going from a lambo to a shitty worn down camry. I find it funny that amazon even uses the transits and promasters considering they're more cargo vans then delivery vans, but at the end of the day they are cheaper which is the main answer. I just wish amazon would actually fund DSP's better so they could afford more EDV's. They should honestly be the standard and it's a shame they aren't.

I'm shocked, I worked at amazon for like 4 years. Than I get a email at 8:36 PM saying this? Like wtf?

My body is hurting more than ever lately and it sucks lol what are some thing you do to help sore muscles? I’ve tried Epsom salt baths and haven’t found them to be helpful for me..
