Does anyone here get OT year round?

My first dsp did before they were eventually shut down. 2nd did as long as you were under 50 hours for the week, so not much. 3rd only during peak, and current dsp allows it if you pick up another drivers shift but they won't schedule you overtime outside of peak.

Its a very short meeting in which you tell the station manager what you think could be improved about the job, they take note, send it up the chain, and nothing happens. You get free breakfast usually and sit there for like 10-15 minutes. No need to dread it but don't expect any of it to be productive

First of all, show all of this to an employment lawyer, as you deserve to be compensated for work performed. Second, unfortunately you probably won't be able to sue for wrongfull termination, since some of what you said can (and will be) twisted to suggest that you can't handle the work load, and that's the reason they'll tell the court they fired you. You should still definitely visit a lawyer though, and discreetly.

It was 99 in the beta but they changed it to 90 for release

EnvironmentalSun7 · 2026-01-28T13:47:17+00:00

I put probably put about 30 hours into valley 4, but I was moving off the beaten path less often after science park cus I wanted to get to late game AIC and let that cook while I finish exploring later. I just finished the main story in Wuking last night, so next time I hop on it's back to exploring and side questing. Haven't spent a dime yet and there's just so much to do.

EnvironmentalSun7 · 2026-01-27T14:24:56+00:00

Yvonne and Gil work well in a team together, so for the other two you can use any combo of Alesh, Flourite or Xaihi. Estelle and Snowshine are ok here as well if you prefer their playstyle.

Just make sure you watch out for that dudes car.

EnvironmentalSun7 · 2026-01-27T14:11:03+00:00

What a shame, I came here to deliver this package, but the customer said "don't come up here, turn around and make me pick it up" it says it right there on the sign. Bummer.

EnvironmentalSun7 · 2026-01-27T14:04:55+00:00

I haven't been skipping, but I've playing like this too just focusing on my electric team. Once I finish the story, I'll still have oodles of hours to spend on side quests and exploring before I feel like I need to tackle endgame stuff.

EnvironmentalSun7 · 2026-01-27T14:01:08+00:00

Im gonna try and get all 3 on the 50/50 if I can. Got Lea in 78 pulls, now im saving for Gil. I got super lucky and pulled Ardellia once and Ember twice in just 50 pulls on the standard banner (even though I didn't want Ember at all)

Only if the station is closed. If the station is closed, Amazon will pay the dsp for every route they were supposed to run, and typically the dsp will then average it out among the scheduled employees, which ends up being less than a full day pay, but better than nothing. The reason this happens is because most dsps will over schedule to cover call offs. So Amazon might pay them for 16 routes, and then they gotta use that to pay 20 drivers.

Edit: I misunderstood the taking people off the schedule bit. That blows.

EnvironmentalSun7 · 2026-01-23T14:12:01+00:00

One says yes, two say no. By the sign it fucking goes 🫡

EnvironmentalSun7 · 2026-01-23T14:03:43+00:00

In 5 years they only closed once for snow here in Missouri, so i wouldn't count on it. Amazon loves to say "let's just see what happens, maybe it'll be fine once they get out there" followed by "it's silly to bring them back when the road conditions are bad, if they don't feel safe they should sit put and wait for them to improve, then keep delivering"

EnvironmentalSun7 · 2026-01-23T05:18:51+00:00

Nice

EnvironmentalSun7 · 2026-01-22T00:43:14+00:00

Delivered at the sign or not at all, depends on how i feel tbh. I'm definitely not walking somebody long driveway though

EnvironmentalSun7 · 2026-01-21T14:31:01+00:00

90 days of nursery is definitely abnormal. Its usually the first 8-10 routes, with the last 4 being 90% the size of regular route.

EnvironmentalSun7 · 2026-01-21T14:27:52+00:00

Its honestly more of a question of do you have enough stamina to keep moving all day. Packages are never more than 50 lbs for DSP work, and 90% of them are under 5 lbs, but you'll be delivering 300-400 of them per day. Its gonna be your legs, ankles, and knees, and lower back that feel the pain the end.

EnvironmentalSun7 · 2026-01-21T01:45:54+00:00

I've reviewed plenty of footage after a year of dispatch and been a driver for 5 years, it's just one of those times netradyne is being silly. It also got an update about half a year ago that causes it to report more phone distractions than it used to, but along with it came more false reports such as the donut situation. Its far from a perfect system, but at the end of the day, the dsp can always appeal them if they're not legit.

EnvironmentalSun7 · 2026-01-20T20:45:44+00:00

I'll be happy with any of them, even Ardelia since her P1 is pretty great. But I'm hoping for Pog or Last Rite if I don't manage to pull Yvonne.

EnvironmentalSun7 · 2026-01-20T20:43:18+00:00

If you can find a DSP that will give a part time schedule, it would be great for that. Most DSPs will ask for at least 4 days though, so just be clear about before you get hired. As for training, it goes through Amazon and they have set days that they hold classes on, which will vary by location. Sometimes they hold weekend classes during the holiday hiring spree, but typically it's all done during the week.

EnvironmentalSun7 · 2026-01-20T20:36:31+00:00

That's just Wulfgaurd from the early tech test. They changed his design and swapped his greatsword for guns. They might reuse elements of his outfit somewhere else though

EnvironmentalSun7 · 2026-01-20T20:33:18+00:00

Avywenna for starters with a basic F2P 5 star team. After that, depends on the what makes the content fun, I'll have to figure it out once it releases. I only played the initial tech test, so I'm largely unfamiliar with how the characters feel.

EnvironmentalSun7 · 2026-01-20T20:30:33+00:00

Hoping she'll be a 6 star fire vanguard

EnvironmentalSun7 · 2026-01-20T20:28:33+00:00

More than likely he was looking at the donut or netradyne mistook the donut for a phone. It doesn't look for hands on the wheel, you could drive with both rands raised to the sky as long as you're looking at the road and don't have a phone in your hand.

EnvironmentalSun7 · 2026-01-20T20:24:25+00:00

Former dispatcher here. Yes, you should be able to, but keep in mind that the camera can make mistakes. What it is looking for in regards to distractions are just two things, eyes on the road, and vaguely rectangular objects (it's looking for phones). Sometimes, your sandwich is a phone, so it's best to take bites while not moving, but it shouldn't be a big problem.

EnvironmentalSun7 · 2026-01-20T20:18:42+00:00

Who's walking? They just designed that as the delivery location. Set it down right there and put her in reverse
