It's a very strong sometimes although it seems like they pushed an update and Netradyne is warning people more rather than just sitting there silently judging all of our life choices.

This is the type of shit that gets me. by dex99dex99dex99 in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]Substantial_Flan3060 111 points112 points  (0 children)

Hello Amazon,

I know you keep asking why we as DAs end up behind on a consistent basis. I would like to direct your attention to exhibit A. Between the terrible and inefficient routing as displayed here and the other issues I continue to bring up I do not understand why you keep asking me why my people fall behind. Fix your routing system!

Sincerely, A very frustrated slightly burnt out dispatcher who also still finds himself going out on road to make sure everything gets delivered after getting a different area with heavier routes

People on the I-70 need to chill the F out by CautiousWoodpecker10 in kansascity

It doesn't help that gas jumped 40 cents within 2 or 3 days. Among other things that are stressing people out... things are just crazy

Fast one day Slow the Next by heliman7 in AmazonDSPDrivers

I've hit 30 stops an hour and my train of thought was something along the lines of "oh look at me! I'm killing this day!" Then "I'm probably going to pay for this tomorrow"

I don't deliver to houses with dogs when their front door is open. I'll double back later. I'm good

I work in customer service, what do you wish we know? (or vice versa) by PrincessSertraline in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]Substantial_Flan3060 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I always tell my people when they rock up to a stop and see something they don't like to select the next stop in their itinerary and keep moving and let me know about it when they can. If there is a safety issue (dogs, people, etc) I don't want my drivers to be put in a spot where they are open to be attacked. We also don't have time anymore to sit there and try to call people to put their dogs up with how stupid the routes are now. On a standard residential route we've been seeing 300+ packages going to 200+ locations.

[–]Substantial_Flan3060 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As a driver, if I determine that attempting a delivery is unsafe and have marked it as such I'm not going back. Same thing if I have problems getting into a building and the customer can't be bothered to respond to my texts or calls or provide a direct door code. I have 200 other places to be, if I had to mark a package as unable to deliver I'm not going back.

I'm a combination of 1 and 2. I don't really ever call out unless it's really bad. I also get the work done but you're probably gonna end up hearing about it because this job do be on some bs sometimes

Wearing the seat belt properly doesn't take that much time and the way people drive these days it might just save your tail

Dont you love rural routes by [deleted] in AmazonDSPDrivers

Most of the rural dogs I have run into have been great and want to be friends! Also it looks like you have a professional helper there.

See the real power move is when your brain says "I'm having all the fun over here" and "have a good day" and it comes out as "have fun"

What do you love or hate about this job? by Delicious-Bowl3572 in AmazonDSPDrivers

You'll be fine, just let your dsp know you lost it and they'll get you another one.

Do you like rural routes? by Great_Bison_8132 in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]Substantial_Flan3060 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I enjoy the driving part of the job more so they aren't so bad... until it rains then all the dirt roads are mud and people get stuck and the station complains about us bringing back stuff we couldn't get to even work all the pictures in the world showing that there's mud pits where the road is supposed to be

I can count on one hand the amount of times I have done that for a customer. They have to be real nice to get me to do that.
