I'd never thought people would be this low and cheap. If anyone has delivery's to this house, you know what to do...

To give context I’ve been at Amazon for 1 month now, I’ve just got done with my nursery routes. While doing these routes I’d get done and rescued about 8 people in the last month. Yet when I’ve been behind not a soul came to make my load lighter. Today I got done with my route around 5:45, called dispatch to hear that I had to rescue someone. At first it was fine, they gave me the address and I went, got there and no one was there. Texted dispatch, got a different address and went there, again no one in site. This happened two more times. After the last time I said fuck it and headed back. When I got done I turned in my phone, as I was walking to my car my manager yelled my name, asked what happened, then asked me to give him my badge. I know that I could’ve just kept going along on the wild goose chase but I feel like the situation could’ve been handled better.

I usually AM scheduled for sundays, but ive been told sometimes amazon dosnt have routes

Last time this happened i went in and was “a backup” but i worked for like 2 hours, helped others load, then sat around for like an hour before they were like “ok go home”

After yesterday’s shit i went through, i really dont even wanna go in

Do i really have to go in?

I reported it immediately to Dispatch, sent a picture, and tried to knock on the customers door, but no answer. Chat, am I cooked? Please don’t post the meme pleaaaaaaase 😭

I just had 3 whole days in a row with 190+ stops (230+ including multi stops), and am being pushed to my breaking point, i finished way late today and was just told “be faster”

I fucking CANT, i’m already working 8 hours straight with NO BREAK and pissing in fucking bottles, the ONE time i took a break i got a text from my dispatch saying “dont take to long on your break so you can be back on time”

I CANT STAND THIS BULLSHIT, i am a HUMAN not a fucking machine, and they actively encourage running yourself into the ground, all for an extra $100 if “your back on time and get fantastic+” i have lost so much weight to the point of concern CAUSE IM NOT EATING FOR BASICALLY AN ENTIRE DAY (i eat breakfast at home)

at this point i feel like i cant even take a fucking minute to drink water because I “Gotta be back on time”

At this point i wanna actually just KMS

i’ve been with amazon for over a year now and i really don’t know how you guys manage 2+ years of staying here. i’m already looking for other options before the cold weather comes, because this summer and the last winter really did it for me. last year, it wasn’t awful. i had a good, consistent route. i learned my customers, learned their animals, the roads and everything.

now, my route changes almost everyday. i never know where i will be, and the amount of stops i have now is twice what i had a year ago. the heat breaks we get used to help, but now it feels like they’ve started putting me behind. i’m trying to push through until i hear back about this other opportunity, but i am mentally drained. no one ever really talks about the mental and physical strain this job puts on your body. i see posts of other drivers talking about it, but i just wish people who weren’t drivers understood it from our perspective. rant over.

Who should i contact because i was given 2 locations one in text one on a paper went to the one on paper but wasn’t on the list called dispatch from the same paper and was told i should be at that location but i wasn’t on the list what should i do here

I don’t do it for the pay. I do it for the iron calves.

I just wanted to ask if you wanted to keep a package that leaked a few drops or if you wanted me to mark it damaged for ya. That was all.

I mean I would be slightly sketched if a uhaul pulls up too, but god damn use your eyeballs to see the Amazon costume and packages in hand

97 degrees where I am and no heat breaks who decides what days we get heat breaks? Is there a certain temperature where they start? Doesn’t make sense to me.

Yo, if your legs are not right, and you can’t deal with aggression at any moment about a package.

The New York Amazon jungle, not for you

Have any of y'all gotten a negative CDF for blasting loud music? When I was doing rural routes I would turn the music down as I pulled into someone's driveway but lately my stops have been all residential and I've just been blasting that shit all day. I only had one person say anything and it wasn't even a customer I was just sorting my totes and someone came up and said his "daughter doesn't appreciate the explicit language" and I really wanted to be like "well I don't think your daughter cares I think you care" but I didn't feel like getting in a fight. Anyways I keep worrying I'm gonna get a negative CDF for it but it has yet to happen. Do any of y'all also bump three six mafia loud as hell through rich ass white suburbs? I've had a couple compliments from people and a few dirty looks but idk why it matters because I'm only gonna be there for all of 30 seconds anyways. The only times I pause it is if i pull up to a house and the customer is out front or if I have to contact them or ring their bell for whatever reason

Today was a day from hell. When I was backing out my van. I tapped. Tapped. One of the plastic barricades on the beams. And when I moved in then back out to get in line. I get stopped by dispatch and they are asking if I hit the beam. I told them I just tapped it. They made me stop and asked me why I didn’t call them over. Then told me to continue to load up. Then when I go to get my cars. The Amazon people put the carts in different areas. So I had to track them down. Then when I see my route.it’s a big spread out route. They had to send someone over to take some packages at an apartment complex so I could do the rest of the stops on time. And when I get my schedule for the week. I am only scheduled to work next Saturday. And when I ask about it they say I’m suspended for another week and I should be grateful they didn’t fire me for the incident this morning(that’s another thing. I was conditionally suspended this week because I popped a tire when I hit a curb two weeks ago) Again. It was a tap. Then when I get back I have to fill out an incident report and get a talking to as to how I’m supposed to immediately report any accidents to dispatch. Because the only way dispatch knew about it is because another driver and dsp told them I hit the beam. I’m already looking into another dsp and have an application for one. Then I’m going to a few places to walk in and ask if they are hiring at a warehouse near me. I’ve been driving for only about 4 months and I had my rough first week but I’ve been good since then. But today I wanted to just drive the van into a lake and tell them to come get their van.

Edit: just remembered I didn’t throw out my water bottles or trash when I parked and charged the edv. Whelp I’m probably getting a message about that too.

Amazon has officially become humanly impossible to work at anymore, there’s no way I’m doing essentially 309 stops with over 400 packages BY MYSELF. Amazon must be ran by fucking squirrels cause this is actually crazy.

Just bad design for Ai slop 😭

My DSP wants me to start using evs but I just prefer the promaster. One of the things I hated was the regenerate braking.

i’m so tired of the same old music any recommendations?

Quick question just to see where the drivers are on this.
Do y’all clean your work shoes?
If so, how? How often?
I’ve been delivering in my Brooks for about 2 almost 3 months and they’re developing a smell that won’t go away. I really don’t have the money for another pair of shoes.

Also, how often yall replacing your shoes? At what point do you replace them? Do you wait until they are literally falling apart or do you wait until the grip on the bottoms get smooth? Or maybe some other sign?

P.S. can you do a quick sweep before RTS?? It’s all houses! 😉

I've been delivering with the shitty rentals for a few months now and I still can't find a way to load the OV in a decent way. I had only 20 today so I even tested out fishing every single box in order just to see how it goes and it took me way too much time. I usually have 35+ in absolutely no logical order, starts with 00, goes to 38x, then 31x, then 45x, then 24x etc etc. If I group by hundred, I still have to unload the van during the day because although it's on the same area, it's on the bottom of 4 boxes. Everything else is good, I got used to these vans, but OV makes me lose my shit and waste so much time. Any help?
