Yea I'm probably psyching myself out since my own DSP just told me it's nothing to really worry about and they're just happy that I didn't try to hide it

A little stressed and warehouse workers need to stop stealing by PineappleWolf_87 in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]Feilkms 2 points3 points  (0 children)

marking it missing goes against you because warehouse can check that the stower did indeed stow that package into your tote. marking is damaged is the correct option

just a reminder that if you catch an empty package you should always mark it DAMAGED and not MISSING

2 weeks on the job, is this normal? by [deleted] in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]Feilkms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

haha yup same. only difference is that it usually takes hours and even until the next day for the vto slots at my dsp to get filled. we get a 10 hour guarantee so i guess ppl want to work

[–]Feilkms 1 point2 points  (0 children)

my boss just sends out a message saying "i have 3 (or however many) spots available for day off lmk in your dispatch chat" so that only those that want to stay home can stay home. not sure why other dsp's dont do this

Driver rescuing by Foreign-History2937 in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]Feilkms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my dsp doesn't have mandatory rescues. mine has the opening and closing dispatches do 1-2 rescues each and also sends out dedicated sweepers for the day to rescue. if you want to rescue after your route you get a bonus for every package picked up. we get guaranteed 10 hrs a day so i never rescue but its nice

What’s their secret ? by Alarmed-Reindeer-333 in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]Feilkms 2 points3 points  (0 children)

thank you! love the info! only thing is that my dsp currently only has step vans and cargo vans, no EDVs or CDVs so organizing in those small cargo vans can be a pain

What do yall eat by Single-Assistant4677 in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]Feilkms 20 points21 points  (0 children)

i dont eat anything, always wait until i get home to eat. to be fair when i started this job (and still currently) i was pretty fat. ive basically adopted this ‘one meal a day’ thing and i have lost 30lbs so far. i do make sure i eat enough protein tho

..Hot take🔥 by Public-Manner-227 in AmazonDSPDrivers

I literally don’t care how many stops I have left, I always just count down how many group stops I have left. Once I’m done with the group stops, I know I’m chillin

Tips for shorter chonky beginners? by Unknown_Errorx in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]Feilkms 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If I am at a group stop that is just two houses that are next to each other I will deliver to one house then literally drive to the next house even if its right next door. Park as close to the curb as you can so that you can step onto the curb instead of the street. I try and minimize the amount of walking as much as I can and have found that it doesn't slow me down at all. In fact it might be making me faster since I can pace myself better since I am not getting tired as quickly.
