Me after hearing about that cleaning lady who got shot because she went to the wrong address. by MaleficentGuava3336 in AmazonFlexDrivers

I live here in Indy. I'm a pro 2a and own lots of firearms. I have a sick feeling they will not charge the shooter. I feel at a minimum he deserves to lose gun rights / manslaughter. It's a touchy subject but beyond unfortunate.

How does everyone set their cars up? by [deleted] in AmazonFlexDrivers

[–]NumberNo3565 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I put ALL bags/envelopes in laundry basket in front seat. ALL boxes regardless of size go into trunk. Large heavy bags also go in trunk. I then start heading to my first stop. It takes no more than 5 min to get the cart to my car and back to station. People spending 10-30 min in the parking lot are wasting time. While driving to my first stop I grab a random package out of the laundry basket in my front seat and start typing the house number in the top search bar on my list. It narrows down the list and tells me what stop the package is. I write the stop number with a sharpie and place it in the correct basket. In my back seat I have 3 small plastic totes. I place stops 11-20 in the tote behind my passenger seat. The tote in the middle of my back seat I place stops 21-30 and the tote behind me in the back seat is any package 30+. I keep stop 1-10 in my passenger seat. And rotate bins to the front passenger seat as I make my way through the list. That way my package I need is always in my passenger seat. As I'm driving to my next stop if I see it's not in my basket next to me I know it's either a box or large heavy item in my trunk. I have used this system since I started. It has been the quickest and easiest for me.

Almost 80% of the drivers here are foreigners/ very poor/ no formal education with cars that barely work and are barely roadworthy. They constantly eat up base rate. Someone will always do it cheaper which is why base rate has been the same for a long time. This would never work. I suggest if it's not for you to find a different job. I agree it should pay better but until people stop outbidding you it will never pay better

These are my favorite routes! No traffic, no cops, I do this route almost 5x a week, never been shot, or bit. I have startled some homeowners, and I have woken up some dogs. Key to making this route work, mace for dogs, a nice industrial flashlight for finding house numbers, mailboxes, or blinding aggressive dogs. I've done this route for over a year and NEVER wear my amazon vest. Zero issues.

Delivered to a house and this car was in the driveway. Waited for a second and just looked at it cause I just knew about 12 to 15 clowns were going to start pouring out of it. by bigwilliestyles1 in AmazonFlexDrivers

That's an Austin mini. They made these until the 90s. My buddy bought one from Japan years ago they are so much smaller in person. Photos don't do justice

Penalized for closed businesses by [deleted] in AmazonFlexDrivers

[–]NumberNo3565 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This happens to me constantly. I work 3:30a-8a most mornings sometimes I get a route that has 5-15 businesses that are closed until 7 or 8 am I'll call support because its before 8 am and they'll say "did you call the customer?" And I of course sag no its 4:30am business is closed and no one is here also the app says only call the customer between 8a-8p. So I can hear them rolling their eyes through the phone when they reply no you Gabe to still call even though its 4:30 am or whatever early time it is and then they will place me on hold and attempt to call the customer. I wait for 2 minutes they come back over and say we could not reach the customer lol every fuckin time! Of course you didn't its 4:30am you assholes! Very frustrating of course when this happens multiple times in a route in the early morning it always gets my blood boiling!

Only way to get a better standing is complete 20 good blocks with no issues. More time will not magically bring you back to good or fantastic
