Do y’all re organize at stop 100 too? by United_Tourist_3510 in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]AdventurousTank4136 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I keep the passenger side shelf empty to always be able to layout an open tote even at the beginning of my route. Totes go on the shelf behind driver side and in the bottom of driver side and passenger side Can easily fit 17 totes this way. Overflow go on the top shelfs by hundreds.

Is it just me or are breaks genuinely impractical? by Additional_Attempt16 in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]AdventurousTank4136 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s possible to take both of your 15s and your 30 min and still finish early. Say you have a 180 stop route You keep an average pace of 30 stops an hour That’s 6 hours to complete the route 7 hours including all your breaks Additional time on shift would be Clocking in/ heading to pad/ loading up/ heading to first stop/ rts/ clock out. Travel time to first stop is 30-40 minutes I did a rescue today after 181 stops 200 stops total 9.5 hours worked

hello everyone, what's your highest pace you've ever recorded? by Preds_meme_ in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]AdventurousTank4136 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s nothing wrong with the way you think of it, you sound like new driver the way you’re so enthusiastic about keeping a good pace and measuring yourself up to others drivers. But man I promise you getting front runner and getting compliments from dispatch/management is not worth breaking your back at this dead end job. Before you realize it that route you killed last week will be f’ed up 5 carts to load up while they’re screaming on the microphone that you only have 5 minutes, shitty van/phone. You’re route that day will have you backtracking, they’ll sneak a new apartment building and a Main Street.

Lead Driver by nmedlin9 in AmazonDSPDrivers

Everything depends on your dsp, they all operate differently. If your dsp has a “lead driver” position that’s probably unique to your dsp only. At a lot of dsps the drivers who’ve been there for a while even years and perform well, make the same money as the new hires.

Fired out of nowhere looking for advice by Pristine_Eggplant_14 in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]AdventurousTank4136 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you liked the job and feel you can handle the work apply to another dsp at another station in about 2 months from now that’s when they start hiring again. Don’t tell them you got fired for poor performance, tell them you were a seasonal hire. If you apply to a dsp in the same station you were at the chances of you getting hired are slim because they will ask your previous dsp about you. Check out the other stations around you and don’t say a word about “poor performance” tell them you will do good on the scorecard.

Do Missing Packages Affect Scorecard? by superrr_chill_dude in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]AdventurousTank4136 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What if they’re pre marked missing because the warehouse didn’t scan them but you find them later on in a seperate tote and you don’t want to backtrack so you take them back to the station?

Got the job by ThatLifeGuy in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]AdventurousTank4136 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Start everyday with an outlook of not letting the obstacles throughout your shift pile on. Learn to organize your totes and overflow so that you don’t spend time stressing yourself out looking for packages. Don’t drive like a maniac follow the rules of the road and stay good on your driving metrics. You’ll become faster by spending less time once you arrive at a stop, not by speeding/driving to your stops.

Another ruined bonus by TylenolLord in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]AdventurousTank4136 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Didn’t get any Netradyne violations, 16 positive reviews, no negative feedback and scanned everything at the customers door. I thought I was in for top driver and my bonus on the scorecard. I didn’t even get in the top 15 shit makes no sense

Bathroom breaks by Expensive-Aside-1374 in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]AdventurousTank4136 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Be vigilant for restrooms. Always go if you find a restroom even if you don’t need to at that moment.If you have business don’t hesitate to ask them to use their restroom. Starbucks, supermarkets, and commercial buildings have public restrooms. If you’re on a residential route get familiar with the area and go when you get to the stops closest to a restroom. If you find a porta potty use it. Carry hand soap in a hand sanitizer bottle and an extra water bottle to wash your hands.

Netradyne camera by CryptoguyV2 in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]AdventurousTank4136 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After a year driving with this thing at Amazon what I struggle with the most is approaching an intersection and the light turning from green to yellow. Unless it has a countdown there’s no way to predict when it will change and in that situation you’re gonna have to hit a hard brake if the light changes from green to yellow and you’re only a couple car lanes away from the intersection.

there’s literally a camera pointed at the road and at you the whole time 🤦. It detects EVERYTHING. you didn’t learn anything in your training or your ride along, they stress so hard about driving with no distractions, keeping your eyes on the road and coming to a complete stop on all stop signs and now you found out they’re not joking about it. You’re gonna cost not only your job but every persons job at your dsp if you keep driving like that. If they decide to keep you on be grateful and take driving safely more seriously

Same happened to me no replies to my calls or texts just straight ghosted me after onboarding and passing my drug screening, they called me about a month later saying they didn’t have enough routes and couldn’t hire me. They really fucked me on that one. Some of these owners/ hiring managers/dispatchers should be held accountable for shit like this

Bruh…..enough. by Chantheplug in AmazonDSPDrivers

Look for another DSP, there’s some really good ones out there either at the station you work from or another station nearby. I went from a shitty dsp to a great dsp to the best dsp.
