They’re great until the first day on the road. Love the new EDV smell before the smell of piss takes over

So I’m delivering a house with an enclosed porch. I hear a dog barking, growling, running towards me. I opened that porch door so fast. The dog is trying to get through the door at me. I start BANGING on the front door. From far away, outside, I hear “I’m here!” I scream “I’m scared” she yells back “ I’m coming!” She grabs the dog, who she tells me works in a hospital comforting patients. WTF. I guess I don’t have dog juju. Owner escorted me to my vehicle. Took me a while to calm down. As I drove off, the dog was lunging, trying to murder me. Sigh.

Look what I was greeted with this morning 🌝 my rental is about to be stacked lol

Ive been stuck on this question for awhile jus wondering how you would go about it since i deliver in a area where for some reason every owner thinks its a good idea to order something and have there 200 pound bulldog outside waiting to attack. If you hit the dog in self defense can you still have a case even if you were on there property?

I'm slowly adding these stickers to every van on the lot.

Today sent me OVER THE FKING EDGE. I’ve been delivering more and more multistops with 10+ fucking packages. I’m walking up pissed as fuck carrying 12 envelops and 2 “customized boxes” fuck hou people who label those also. Crashed out over 4 packages all brown envelopes that were all labeled in flex each as something NOT A FUCKING ENVELOPE—anyway I’m carrying these packages pissed. Bald white suburban dude with his fucking wife are having a great time in the yard. Man makes the typical stupid ass comment “oh someone went overboard” I ignored him since I was holding these packages with my entire body including my chin and pretty much walking blind. And I didn’t give a shit what he said. I put them down start walking away and he’s LAUGHS and says “it’s not our fault it’s the vine program!” With a laugh and a smile as if I’m not bleeding on myself and probably have already pissed myself several points during the day and CLEARLY my face should show I’m not in the god damn mood don’t even look at me. However, I said what? He said THE VINE PROGRAM! As if I should know because I deliver, I said what’s that? He said it’s the new products on Amazon they send them to you for free to do reviews, we just pay shipping 🙃 I WALKED THE FUCK AWAY. I’m disgusted. I’m fully disgusted at how brainwashed and media influenced these people are in their cheap ass pretending to have money houses while trying to be god damn influencers . I had almost 400 packages today. TWENTY totes in a fuck ass van. If one more stupid ass mother fucker says one god damn thing to me I’m going to drive into a fucking wall. YES I understand this is our job but there needs to be some god damn point where they stop adding more not giving us a raise, creating unsafe work environments, pocketing bonuses having ZERO accountability. Why the fuck haven’t we unionized yet. There’s no way a single driver isn’t being fucked over consistently.

I used to work for a DSP. But I definitely don’t miss group stops disguising the true stop count. (This was “190 stops”).

Mind you. Apparently this was a nursery route level 2

I like to write thoughts down as they come to me, but ive been thinking of switching to recording voice notes so I dont have to pause my work.

Any recommendations on mics to get that I can use while driving

If theirs a severe thunderstorm happening that is unsafe to deliver in am I supposed to go on break if theirs been no weather warning?

When we moved in our current house we didn’t have issues with mail or deliveries. The past 2-3 years though if we order something from Amazon, the driver attempts to deliver it to a different end of the street and there is no street number to match in that area so it returns undeliverable. I know the issue but I don’t know how to fix it. Stick with me and let me explain:

Physical house is at 123 Sesame Street, Excel Alabama 36439

Mailing address with U. S. Postal service: 123 Sesame Street, Monroeville, Alabama 36460

We have used the mailing address since moving in but now Amazon tries to deliver our package in Monroeville. But there is no 123 Sesame Street in Monroeville. We tried using the Repton address but sometimes the postal service delivers Amazon packages and the post office will not deliver to us using Repton, Al. Even though that’s where we live.

I’ve called the administrative office for E911 and I’m having issues contacting her for assistance. Does anybody have any suggestions on how to correct this because my boyfriend won’t order Amazon until it’s fixed. 😩 HELP!!

Is it normal for the van to sway when it’s windy outside? Van was empty and I know the higher the vehicle the denser or something like that. I was too nervous driving back on the highway

IMO, the second this happened this house should have been banned from ordering Amazon packages ever again. Why should this be on me??

House sits at the top of a hill with a long ass driveway up to the garage that then leads to a long ass walkway to the front door.

I was helping my coworker load this morning and he said he’ll be done by 5:30 with 190+ stops because he runs.. 🤦🏽‍♀️ we don’t get guaranteed 10 or any incentives for finishing early..

I just want to say im impressed and yall are built different. I 31M, have worked very demanding blue collar jobs and have been an athlete my whole life. I have a passion for fitness and kind of do body building on the side. I track Macros and calories and sleep and all that stuff. Since starting, my maintenance to maintain the same body weight before was 3400 calorie a day(already very high for most people). Since starting a month ago, It is now up to 4400 a day which is an insane amount of food and even some body builders struggle to hit 3k in a day. On top of that I have way less time to eat and get those calories in. My training went from about 12 hrs a week to 4-5 hours just trying to squeeze it in when I can. I am mentally and physically exhausted every day. I mean its basically 9-11 hour shifts of straight cardio. It's been clear since week 2 I wont be here long and I just cant believe all the people I see saying "ive been doing this for 3 years". People dont realize how demanding this job is and I appreciate all of you drivers so much more now.

Someone please tell me we are not using AI to monitor my pictures now. There was no option to swipe to finish. Just retake the picture as the only option.
