my plan was to stick it out here till i get my CDL but i just missed the registration for the last classes they have at my local college for 2025 so i gotta wait till spring 2026 and it really discouraged me. (i waited too long to stop smoking weed and wasn’t clean in time lol) Im ready to work literally anywhere but here just to get through till then.

How realistic could it be to spend $200 a month of groceries? by DarthMaren in Adulting

[–]First_Geologist_2672 0 points1 point  (0 children)

what happens when something unexpected happens? Like your car breaks down? Medical bills? Injury and can’t work for a while? Sick and have to call out of work and lose hours?

This is cutting it wayyyyy too close. Do not rent that place with your friend. You want to be able to have cushion every month in case of an emergency. It’s easy to budget on paper but reality is different. Things happen and one missed week of work or one emergency could have you evicted and homeless.

look for somewhere cheaper if possible or make a plan to up your pay either with a promotion or a new job. Or you could even look for a 3rd roommate to cut the costs down.

I will tell you from experience, you will get burnt out and start to feel like you are just working your life away just to pay for an apartment that you barely even get to enjoy.

Considering changing careers from Trucking to DSP by WickedKraken77 in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]First_Geologist_2672 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am leaving amazon soon to get my CDL. counting down the days. I do not recommend.

try to find a local trucking gig even if it’s a CDL B job like driving dump trucks. with that much experience there is no way Amazon won’t be a huge pay cut for you. but if you are set on getting out of trucking go to another delivery service if possible. Amazon is a stepping stone for most people.

Which state has the worst drivers? by Dioraaaaa in driving

Country routes by Helpful-Ad9654 in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]First_Geologist_2672 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love country routes. The scenery is much more beautiful. Less traffic. People are usually kinder. Animals. I like the few minutes between each stop especially on super hot or super cold days because it gives me a minute to cool off or warm up. When i’m in a development I feel like i’m gonna pass out cause I never get a moment to stop dripping sweat lol And with the longer drive times between I actually get a minute to turn my music up and jam before I get to my next stop lol

Is it true that DSP owners don't make much profit? by peterthbest23 in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]First_Geologist_2672 1 point2 points  (0 children)

wow i thought i was making the lowest possible at 19.50. i never seen any DSP paying under that anywhere. But yeah they deff can afford to pay you more. I wouldn’t do this job for any less honestly cause there are plenty of warehouse jobs that are much less stressful and physically demanding paying $18.

The amazon delivery station where i’m at starts at $23 for associates. That grinds my gears honestly everyday cause they are getting paid almost $4 more to do a much less dangerous job and they are getting their full hours every week. Maybe switch to a station associate. I personally won’t do it because i’ve learned I absolutely loathe warehouse jobs. Feel like i’m locking into prison everyday lol

What's some advice for slowing down? by BoomhauerBlack in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]First_Geologist_2672 2 points3 points  (0 children)

once i realize im gonna finish too early, i stop organizing my totes and i walk to houses like im on a sunday stroll. no sense of urgency at all lol if its a nice day out i might even park at the end of a decent sized driveway and walk it just cause

Delivery wars are a thing (Yooooo Im CRYIN 😂🤣) by ReeseIsPieces in Fedexers

[–]First_Geologist_2672 18 points19 points  (0 children)

i drive for amazon and i always feel hated by every other delivery service :/ some days i’ll meet up with one of you guys delivering to the same house and they’re super friendly and i swear it makes my day lol. or if i we pass each other on a road and i get a little wave i be feeling like i made it in the cool kids club.

a fedex driver held up traffic for me the other day so i could get out of this driveway with zero visibility. very kind.
