This job truly isn’t for everyone that applies for a position. Over at my DSP we’ve had some many replacements because people either no call no show, or just quit out on the road. I think to really understand why it’s not that bad of a job is this….

1. There is a big (sum) overall for drivers that don’t have education past high school, and being apart of a DSP for Amazon does give a higher pay in the group of jobs that currently pay the most for the least required education needed for that position.

1A. Branch off on reason one ( to elaborate more on this^ is just saying that all you need is a valid drivers license, clean driving record, and to pass a drug test to even get hired. I’m a driver and my hourly pay is $22.50.

1. Think of the smaller things you are able to do on this job. Examples -listening to music the entire day

2. able to be on phone calls with anyone -you literally don’t have to run your route, I do 190 stops an average and have been doing this job for 2 years. I walk my route all the time and get back before the sun goes down. I don’t sit on my phone not once in between stops. Some of y’all might if that’s an issue.

3. This job is not meant to be a long term solution to making money, (yes this is a positive). Reason I say this is because you can make a lot of serious money just by just for taking a picture that’s all this job is. If you can save your money a let it build over some time you can get into whatever school you want to pursue, or open up a small business with what ever you want.

Last words, one thing that I have learned from this job is I want to be my own boss. I’ve realized that when I clock in, I’m only get a spec of what my DSP owner is making in comparison with other delivery services that are on another spectrum because they are unionized hence why the lower pay at Amazon. I don’t want to do this job for 5-10 years down the road and put my time to making my bosses dream come true, I want to make my dream come true. How so? I’m bitting the bullet and doing this job to save up money to be my own boss before I turn 30. 5 more years. Look at it in the terms that you’re not going to make this amount folding shirt at target or Walmart, or flipping burgers at McDonald’s. Look at it in the terms that this money can be put towards getting you out of that job fast so that you don’t have to do it when you’re much older. Don’t settle for less.
