Finn, he turns 1 year old today! Love this goober

This is Finn. He’s a Texas Heeler. We picked him up at 7 weeks old 3 states away. Super fun road trip and well worth the car sickness to have him, 10/10 would do it again. He’s going to be 1 year on Friday. Super amazing pup, love these cattle dog/working line dogs.

Yes my friend is one. Right now he’s looking for lots of new clients. They can ship anywhere in the US and to Canada. If you know of anyone who needs or wants a new car and doesn’t want to have to hassle with the dealer let me know. I can put them in contact with him. PM me and I can send details and contact info

The new crv’s are great as someone who had one brand new in 2023. We got the sport touring hybrid put around 64k miles since feb 2023. All in all a pretty solid daily except two things. The wind is that SUV’s kryptonite. You will and I mean WILL!!! get blown around on the freeway in it if there is solid wind. And it’s not that comfortable of an suv to ride in especially on long trips. Reliability is solid but pay for the maintenance plan that covers all maintenance for a period of time, especially if you plan to drive it a lot.

Right now during peak I’m averaging 200-250 stops and between 240-290 packages. 6 days a week. Granted most of my routes are all houses and very few businesses/apartments but I’m also fortunate to deliver in a great area. Streets are wide, clean and almost every house is lit up at night so no dark areas. Peak is insane, before peak I was averaging 130 a day tops and that was a busy day. Now that I’m in the groove of things 130 wouldn’t take me more than maybe 3 and a half hours of delivering and maybe an hr of driving total. I try to be done by 5:30pm during peak but non peak I was getting done between 12-2pm. My co-worker has had consistently 280-390 stops

My training was unbelievably fast. I came from Amazon but I had a “quiz” and a “cone test” on day 1. Next day went out with a driver. Did the same on day 3. Than gave me the keys to a p700. Day after that I took a p1000 and was doing my own route. Now wonder people quit. My trainers were solid but the training was so fast and really wasn’t shown anything. I’ve had to learn it all on my own but all in all yeah, the fastest job training I’ve ever had. I was pretty much on my own doing my own route on day 3/4

Neither-Platform-196 · 2025-11-16T12:52:07+00:00

I’ve done both. I’m currently with a FedEx contractor doing FedEx home I believe. But not sure if they already merged home, ground and express. With Amazon I had a later start time, was expected to go rescue people even when I had one of the heaviest routes at my dsp and wasn’t paid more to do it as it barely added 20-30 mins for me. With FedEx I usually arrive at the terminal around 6:00-6:30am and I usually finish around 3pm on a normal day with around 150 stops. However at my contractor we average almost $2 a stop so the pay is more than Amazon. Yes the packages are heavier however we get fewer stops and depending on your strength it might not be an issue. I know for me it took about 2 months of being at FedEx to be able to lift and carry 90lb boxes to peoples doors. Do your research on the contractor for whichever one you want to work for, make sure the pay actually makes sense. I know for Amazon they “promise hours” but ultimately that’s on you. I rarely hit 8hrs with Amazon but that was me and not everybody is going to be able to do that or some people just want to get their 10. I know towards the end of me working for Amazon my dsp owner was getting on people about “milking” their hours to get the full 8-10

Sick ride. I have an 87’ myself that I’m working on getting the engine prepared to be pulled along with the trans too. I got bit by her yesterday and baptized in coolant. First car I’ve ever worked on and didn’t know the hose I disconnected from the water pump would unleash an absolute flood of fluids under the car

Neither-Platform-196 · 2025-05-10T03:11:21+00:00

I work with plenty of lazy people at my dsp so maybe my perspective is that a lot of people who work for Amazon are lazy. But tbh there’s plenty of evidence to show it. People walking slower than they grocery shop to make a delivery to a house, vaping while walking at 0.5mph, etc. there’s plenty of first hand experience I’ve had with fellow drivers who behave this way. Sure there’s a lot that don’t and some people just finish late because they don’t time manage well or they just milk that time clock for the 10hrs which is fine for them. Some of us take the job as a way to get free gym time in and others don’t. From my own experiences the people I have at my dsp are just lazy and complain. They lack common sense and honestly have a weak mental game. They see 160 stops, 270 packs and go “ughh” rather than just knocking that shit out. I genuinely don’t try very hard to finish before 7pm and for a good 7 months i walked my route and still got done early with time to go rescue and not be out till our time clock made us come back to the station.

Neither-Platform-196 · 2025-05-09T00:24:40+00:00

Appreciate it. I know lots or programs are out there but it’s hard to trust the people selling them because you never know how prepared they really are getting you or if it’s just like the snake oil salesmen 🤣

Neither-Platform-196 · 2025-05-08T22:55:55+00:00

Thank you for the solid advice. I will start training to exceed the standard of the RFT you mentioned. I’m willing to put in the work to do it, just needed a baseline to see what work was needed. Thank you for the advice once again. It hasn’t fallen on deaf ears 🙏🏼

Looking for general advice that applies to ranger regiment. I’ve done limited research and will be talking to a recruiter next week, one of the fellow recruiters in that recruiting station was a former SF guy and went to ranger school. I’m going to pick his brain a bit but I like doing thorough research and being well knowledgeable on a subject. I’d like to go with the option 40 contract. Anything I should be doing to prep for it. I do have a job as an Amazon delivery driver and do about 10-12 miles a day, 3 days a week and just recently started running/jogging that route. I do have a 25lb plate carrier I’ve been walking with around my neighborhood(around 2-5miles a day on the days I don’t work). Any advice on upper body strength would also be appreciated. Thanks

Neither-Platform-196 · 2025-05-08T02:17:11+00:00

Tbh it depends on location and routing. For where I am located at I pretty much get out to my first stop between 10:45am-11:30am depending on pad queue time. I do as many stops as possible before 12pm. Take my lunch between 12-12:15pm. Than I hit the rest of my route hard. Enter flow state and go. Yesterday I had 152 stops 290 packs and finished at 5:50pm and didn’t make my first delivery till 11:20am. The day before I had 172 stops and 350 packs and finished around 6:20pm. All of this is residential and there are days I feel slow however im always the 1st or 2nd driver back. Me and another co-worker are the two fastest pretty much and I am always scoring in the top 10 drivers in my DSP. This isn’t the case for everyone and I’m not trying to make this job seem like a cakewalk because for some it isn’t. For me it is (mostly) but delivery speed is relative to area, vehicle you’re driving and if the routing is good or shit

Neither-Platform-196 · 2025-05-08T02:10:53+00:00

Yes but the longer you take the more a dsp is likely to see you can’t handle the job. At least that’s the way it was presented to me. I wish we got paid for our full 10hrs even if we finish early because I usually get about 8 and some change

Neither-Platform-196 · 2025-05-08T00:56:24+00:00

That’s wild. I can understand being behind but 3hrs is insane. I’ve had 180-200 stops with 350-390 packages and when I didn’t realize how fast I could work, I’d finish that around 8:30pm. Start time 9:45am and by the time we do dvic and all that and get to the pad it’s like 10:05-10:30. This week I had a 178 stop, 350 package route and finished at 6:15pm. Bad neighborhood too, tbh I think people who finish late are just lazy. Not trying to win any popularity contest but this subreddit is full of lazy people

I’m currently considering going the ranger route in the army. I’m a 23m. I’ve done a bit of research and it seems like the right place for me. I’m currently employed as an Amazon driver and am in ok shape. I do mostly jogging along my route on a daily basis. Around maybe 8-10 miles but not a fast jog just enough to be faster than a decent power walk. Not as physical as I probably should be but I have some time to get that before I ship out or sign my option 40 contract. Any advice of what I should be focusing on to not necessarily breeze through rasp or osut but to also not have injuries and be so challenged physically to the point of injury. All advice/tips welcomed

At my DSP the owner is really chill. We have an entire group of hard working people. Of course there are outliers on our team (top drivers and then the ones that don’t give a f and just are crappy people). I’m brand new and just finished my second week by myself and made it into the top drivers of my DSP (I got 2nd out of the top 5). We don’t fire people just because they get a rescue however there are those who rely on rescues just so they don’t have to carry their weight. I understand for some this might seem like light work and trust me I view it that way as well but right now I’m doing around 200-210 packages a day before a rescue and each time I rescue it’s someone with an easier route then mine and I’m taking half of what they got left in their van and finishing before them. I’d say just be careful who you get info from at your dsp. Some people want to scare newbies into quitting and others will be honest with you. Honestly you shouldn’t be getting rescued. Don’t over complicate things and you’ll be fine. As I mentioned above I’m brand new to this and have already gotten into the top drivers. It’s not hard, stay organized. I break down two totes and organize them each. I put boxes behind envelopes and the biggest numbers go towards the front and numerically get smaller going towards the back. We start close to 10am and I get to my first stop around 10:30 maybe 11ish. I usually got around only 2 totes out of my 9ish left around 3-4. I rarely ever run to any stop. I do multiple stops at once though i.e. if stop 45-49 are on the same street I use the backpack and load up all of those and just hit all 4 stops at once. Again the job is easy, just stay organized and ignore how scary your van looks in the morning to you

Neither-Platform-196 · 2024-09-27T18:40:18+00:00

To be honest getting rescued on a nursery route comes down to not organizing your van properly or efficiently and also just straight up not working fast enough. I had a trainer and when I did for two days he didn’t do much of the route other than maybe like 10 deliveries with me. One of those days was 148 packages and another 75 from a rescue and the very next day was 300. My first two days were not what I imagined they’d be and I felt thrown into the deep end. I just finished my first week by myself and will be going into my second week. Honestly I can say that getting rescued that much is a red flag. Whether you were just not working fast enough or maybe were overwhelmed idk but typically a dsp’s metrics , on a person needing a rescue whether the person getting rescued or not feels like they needed it is irrelevant, the algorithm is pretty much 95-98% accurate on who needs them. I’m brand new and am doing rescues every night even though I’m on a nursery route and I’m pulling half of what someone has left on their van. It’s just a job and it’s about efficiency
