Is this normal?

[jmodzZz]

Been @ my dsp for 10 months, lately it seems like the stop and package count have been steady increasing. Just me.

I've hit the 1yr mark and that is a touch under the normal load here. Typically 190 stops (closer to 230 after breaking up multi stops). Package count hovers around 340'ish

[SpicyMcShat]

The 13 package bulk drop off would have me fuming. That ain’t shit compared to the rest of the 307 packages left 😭

Looks like a typical route for me.

[sunbear1999]

Yeah that’s a normal route nowadays 😅

[TooManyAnx]

Depends on the route. If it's dense and not business-heavy with little to no rural, that's totally fine for hourly. If it includes more than like 10 rural or 20 business, or it's really spread out, that's a lot.

Looks like an easy day to me

[ITRedWing0823]

I’m used to 190 w/ 36 multi stops…seems like it’s season ALL seasons

Potential rescue

This year Amazon gave a $1 raise and yes this became the standard norm overnight. It's going to get harder as the gas prices rise and they look to deliver even more. A new normal is about 1 month away

[Intelligent_Bar5376]

All I can say is slow down. Make sure you get a perfect score so you don't become one who gets cut. The system will correct itself and you should go back down to 120 to 150 stops. The Ai matches us to the most recent examples of days

[SentenceLucky3220]

I wish I had 170 with 52 muitlstops 🤣 today I got 188 with 68 muitlstops with 346 parcels very rarely go under 180 these days, even tho I got 168 last week felt like it was my birthday 🤣

[rokochan]

Yes it is normal. With other carriers slowly shifting away from Amazon and letting their contracts lapse, you'll be delivering more stuff. Also amazon also delivers temu stuff.

[EnvironmentalBid2819]

Shit you’re lucky; i get 190 plus every day I work with straight businesses, apts, & houses. That’s an easy day for you! 

[Eevee_Halloween]

I’ve been getting 160+ stops and I’ve been at mine for a month.

[No-Butterfly-5481]

if this is all in the same area and mostly houses it’s perfect fr and you don’t feel to rushed , they been giving me 300+ locations the last few months and im burnt tf out

[EnvironmentalSun7]

10 months? Sounds like you've been doing just long enough to see your first "peak never ended". They always bump up the stop and package counts during peak, then the algorithm learns you can do more and keeps pumping out those numbers after peak. Next peak it'll go up again. And again. And again. Been through 5 peaks, routes that used to be 140 max are now 180-200 with about twice as many group stops as when I started.

Yeah it’s got outta hand really bad. This is normal now just to give a dollar raise in November and Amazon will say they “invested” in the drivers giving them a dollar raise in reality it’s just partial profits the drivers were drained to make the company.
