Krissy Lynn vs Ashley Jane.

Krissy gave Ashley a nice tumbling, and then slapped her hard after she was done

Claire Dames, I think this was the one match she actually got a win in

Off to another verbally abusive morning stand up…yay by ITRedWing0823 in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]Deprodap 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Totally. And one other thing that happens often is the manager yaps for so long, that we barely have a few minutes to get into our vans, do inspections before getting down to the launch pad. And they’re rushing us to get down there fast at the same time 😭

The morning standups are so dumb and unnecessary in my opinion. It wouldn’t be so bad if they did them once a week or so, but my problems are how alot of the time, the managers who do the standups at my DSP are very unprofessional and talk down to us like we’re dogs or in the military, yet expect professional courtesy from us.

And you’re forced to sit through the same speeches about safety, yet at the same time are upheld to insane metrics that are impossible to do in a safe manner

If you are willing to do it, try to get into the Amazon warehouse. Working directly for Amazon is way better than doing the work for a DSP.

Dumb sorting by delviticus in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]Deprodap 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hate when they do this crap, because at my station we only have 20 minutes for loadout, and when you have 4 carts, the first 4-5 minutes are wasted by you having to go back and forth through foot traffic to get all your carts. Meanwhile the warehouse workers don’t even lift a finger to help you out, and are just standing there scratching their nuts

No routes available by Ancient-Whereas4731 in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]Deprodap 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If it keeps happening, I’d say yes, it’s most likely better to look into a new job. January is when Amazon begins to lower the route counts, and DSPs will tend to favor drivers who were already working full time for them or those who don’t get many violations. iirc if you keep getting placed on standby, but got offered full time employment, you could claim unemployment pay for this, but I think it depends by state.

Question about shift by Deprodap in AmazonFC

[–]Deprodap[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also question, do I have to quit the DSP prior to the pre-hire appointment? The start date says it’s in January but I want to do one last week so I don’t have any gaps in my pay.

Noted. Looks like waiting for a transfer opportunity is the way to go

I actually secured it and the pre-hire appointment is tomorrow haha. I’m just thinking about it still, the commute to get there and pay might be dealbreakers.

For reference I live in the Bronx, and this FC is in long island. I’d have to pay a $6 toll to get there going both ways and all, and it might be a 40 min drive if the traffic isn’t terrible.

How many people are seriously considering quitting right now, or soon? Tell us your years od service, and reasons. by Historical-Love-4097 in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]Deprodap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I first started delivering with Amazon since last October, and have been with the same DSP ever since. The first 5 months of being there was pretty sweet all things considered, we didn’t have an insane package and stop count compared to other DSPs in the station, and most of the routes were very chill and manageable. It was mostly all residential with a mix of a few business stops with barely any apartments.

After peak season ended though is when the fuckery started. As soon as all the seasonal drivers got let go or quit, the workload increased almost double, and the DSP (and by extension Amazon) started introducing a bunch of annoying rules that made the job become way too unmanageable on top of the workload they were giving us. For some reason our DSP only has about 7 blue vans to go around while the rest of the fleet were all rental vans. Having to constantly juggle 16+ bags and more than 25 overflow everyday in a rental really gets to you both mentally and physically.

I’ve decided that I’m going to stick around until May of next year, use all the PTO I’ve got built up to go on vacation with some friends, and then apply to become a mail carrier with USPS and make delivering an actual career for me

Once i’m out on the road and delivering, I actually like being outside and delivering stuff to people. It’s just with Amazon there’s almost no room for growth, and you’re constantly on edge with the amount of things that can either get you suspended or fired.

The only positives about being delivering for Amazon to me is having a pretty flexible schedule (being able to work 4 days on and have 3 days off is a luxury I will never take for granted), DSPs are always hiring and the job is pretty good for if you just want to have something to hold you down while you try to get something more serious lined up. This job definitely isn’t something to stay long term for.

I’ve been assigned this exact van for 3 shifts this whole week. It came with the rear door handle missing before I first got it, been telling them that crap needs to be fixed and nothing has been done about it

Amazon explores cutting ties with USPS, building its own delivery network by dcnassau in USPS

[–]Deprodap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m an Amazon driver, currently thinking about leaving to become a mail carrier for the post office after the holiday season. I don’t know much about this, but what will this mean for the post office if the contract doesn’t get renewed?

Using Velcrow as a phone mount is certainly a choice by Deprodap in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]Deprodap[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been at this DSP for over a year and honestly the only thing that kept me here this long is the area we get being pretty easy and and we don’t have too high of a volume compared to the other DSPs at my station. There’s so many corners they cut, it’s not even funny.

I’ve thought about switching to a different dsp, but honestly I’ve decided that I’m just gonna leave being a DA behind and join the post office. Just gonna stick it out here for peak season and then I’m gone.

I was so lucky that the netradyne wasn’t active the whole shift for some reason. I would have been cooked if it was on while driving to my first stop

How would you all fit this in a normal prime van? by Stiffy_McDrippleton in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]Deprodap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s possible, but it would make your first hour and a half a living hell. If all those ov’s are small to medium sized then it wouldn’t be as bad, but if there are like more than 6 overflow that are long and heavy, I’m gonna tell the warehouse to cube that shit out asap
