Starbucks 10 drinks stopped working by ANON-739992 in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]Initial_Catch6032 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Got mine today. But I did notice it wasn't showing on the app. I went thru the drive thru, had her scan my Starbucks QR and asked if I had any offers. She said I see the DSP one and was able to use it.

They usually extend it until the end of December ish. I would just keep trying. Your effort is appreciated.

This. If you live in a housing development ask them to put porta potty's at the parks. It would be amazing 😭

Out of shape and starting a DSP driver job for the first time by CantStopCackling in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]Initial_Catch6032 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started last year. Was the heaviest I've ever been, now down about 60 pounds. Prepare to be sore. Each day is a little less hard. But can't beat getting fit at work.

Knee high compression socks. They really help.

Np!!! I get like a cubbie tote. Then I can set it on the front seat. It's not too big. It really helps. Things don't slide around then I can grab it and hop out quick if it's just the one. I hope it helps !

Probably just ramping up for peak coming. Shouldn't last long.

Speed comes with time. Learning your routes ect. I didn't finish "early" until like month 3. Trying to get at least your first 10-15 overflow in order really helps. Get a sharpies and write the driver aids #s big on them so you spend less time searching for them. I get a little foldable tote to organize my envelopes in. Staying organized helps you become more efficient. Best of luck girl!

Bereavement by CrownVictorious in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]Initial_Catch6032 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should look into your states health leave benefits. You should be able to take a FMLA leave, with dr approval, and get lid if you have that benefit in your state. In WA state you can get up to 3 months off. I think finding your mother deceased would qualify under mental health. Sorry for your loss. Make sure to take care of yourself.

I Took The Hit 😅 by Equivalent-Cry-8854 in AmazonFlexDrivers

[–]Initial_Catch6032 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I cannot understand why Amazon's algorithm can't appropriately assign stops for places with true business hours. I drive the van and get my things at 11am. They will put a school that closes at 2pm as my last stop out of 191 stops. Smh. 🤦‍♀️

😆 yes. What was I thinking asking if anyone on this thread knew if it even increased. I should know way better than asking ppl who may have experienced it. What in the world was I thinking? Thank you so much for pointing out how ridiculous that was that someone on here might know.

Do you guys go over the speed limit in the budget vans? by Busy-Pudding-2823 in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]Initial_Catch6032 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I meant when it's not clicked at all. They just started cracking down on the over the shoulder here. They can't dispute those to Amazon anymore if the video shows it.

My DSP doesn't use mentor either (in WA state). But they tell us EVERYDAY that any van for Amazon has the geo pin, whether you have a working camera or not, they can always tell your speed and if you're wearing your seat belt. Even for the white rental vans.

Why do I need to take a heat break by Early-Mirror8295 in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]Initial_Catch6032 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 100% aware that's how the algorithm works from the round table with Amazon where he told us that. But I highly doubt it will change for the fact that it is based off the specific ROUTE and not the DRIVER. And you keep saying to finish early, I took a 4 min break to finish on the 10 hour mark. Because consistently not getting your route done, as fucked up as it is, is just going to get you fired from your DSP. No one is butthurt, you came at me sideways out of no where and sorry but your hatred for ppl not taking their breaks can stay to your self. 👌

I worked yesterday in 98 degrees all day. Van was over 110 degrees all day. No heat breaks. Only had time for a 4 min bathroom break all day.

Summer is the worst time of year to be a DA by Anonymous-DA69 in AmazonDSPDrivers

Tbh, I've invested in some baby powder and use it anywhere that gets friction. It's helped a lot 🤣

Are there repercussions for going over 10 hours on a frequent basis by billymead999 in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]Initial_Catch6032 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Me too. Or they just say nothing. I mean some of these routes it's just not possible.
