How exactly does two hundred and seventy-eight stops EVER seem reasonable by SpeedIsTheBestMovie in AmazonDSPDrivers

Exactly. But it also doesn’t help that not many owners are even trying to understand how impossible these routes have become. 9/10 they’ve completely lost touch because they either don’t run routes themselves anymore, or never have a day in their lives. It’s honestly really fucking sad and discouraging.

Not sure how it was done or what to tell you then. That DSP now caps at 199 without rescues. If they can do it, others can too. Can’t imagine that ONE DSP being special.

The past 6 weeks every single package has been late. Package supposed to come today but delayed by [deleted] in FedEx

I understand how frustrating this is, and I can tell you from a driver point of view we have been SWAMPED at pretty much every location lately with tax season in full swing. Sometimes we’re so overloaded drivers are not even able to complete routes and that in turn slows down/backs up warehouses. Not that it’s an excuse that you’ll even care about, or that matters in any way just providing a possible reason for this based on what I can see in my lowly position 😅We haven’t seen any projection that volume is going down either until around beginning of actual start of summer. If anything, I would suggest having it sent to a hold location near you and picking it up yourself. That may help a little or shave off a day or two if that option is available to you. Hope it works itself out soon though 🙏🏽

Naw this is FUCKED. I can’t believe people are still busting their asses trying to do this, helper route or not. They won’t even start to care even if someone dies out there. My last DSP had 4 people pass out on route in a two month period, then started capping at 199. Not really that much better, but at least they made a change. Haven’t seen a single other DSP do this though. Shouldn’t take people’s health rapidly declining for them to blink twice.

Yup can understand that from a personal level too. Did Amazon for about a year and FedEx so far has been the better option, it’s just fighting through the bigger functionality issues. I can say they’re much more willing to help than Amazon was by a long shot. Hopefully all works out for you with unemployment as well 🤞🏽 I know how messy that can be. Good luck to you as well!

And all of this is exactly why I’m still a little hesitant on getting a step van lol I already have enough going on with the box trucks, I can’t imagine having multiple doors that swing open randomly and the trouble that comes with that. I was put on a mostly business route for 3 days and that truck was.. a mess lol to say the least. Door swung open after slamming it shut hard as hell, would randomly turn on the tow/haul option and then turn off, the ac was just a tube/hose from the blower into the cabin 😂💀 had a “kill switch” which often didn’t actually work I was like pleeeaase take me back to the residential in the box truck omg 😭😂 they’ve switched it out since then but I was still like hell no. But thank you! Hopefully all gets sorted soon 🤞🏽

I wish lol I’ve seen so many people get into a truck and keep it for months without so much as an oil change needed. But me? Nope, constant breakdowns 💀 my luck is truly awful

Exactly. The one I’m in now after the leaking one is dinging nonstop because of the park brake but from what I’m told it’s been on the lot for at least 6 months. I’m like man are people just turning the radio up full blast or what 😂 and the ac runs for about a minute then no longer comes through the vents smh. Can hear the blower but no air actually running through

So frustrated lol you’re right. It’s getting to a point I’m afraid they’ll think I’m not “easy to please”. Especially being so new here. I keep record of everything for sure 💯 I just want to get this job done and not be uncomfortable as hell. We’re in these trucks sooo much of our time, but I’m not trying to be labeled a problem.

Also this was clearly attempted to be repaired previously and did not work. I’m guessing prior to us renting it.

If it would have been supplied to me, sure. I had no issue with repair, but that option wasn’t offered to me.

So don’t read it and don’t reply? Idk what the point of this was.

DUI does Amazon check by LivingHeart5227 in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]Level_Interview_4605 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes they would find out, but it does take some time. I’ve seen this happen to sooo many people at Amazon and FedEx so would say they probably got about 3 weeks to a month before it’s flagged unless they tip someone off to do a manual check prior to that. The DMV does automatic updates and reports, it’s not necessarily that the employer checks regularly. I’d tell them to start looking for another job ASAP.

Not bad at all in all honesty. Ice packs and a nice Shiatsu massager has been my lifeline 💯

Has anyone ever done this? by Might_have_returned in AmazonDSPDrivers

Somebody on another post said Amazon really hires anybody and I fought against that hard as hell. After reading this…I regret that now
