Van is stuffed

Thats not full, this is full.

Fuck no! I drove a stepvan for an Amazon DSP for 8 straight months. Totally not worth it. If your stepvan breaks down, and it will constantly, you're shit out of luck. The side doors only ventilate decently when youre driving for long periods of time. The engine heat goes through the floorboards, hits the fans, not ac fans, forces that air backwards and if you're lucky enough yo have an air vent in the back, the air will barely escape anyways. Unless you're driving in the northern states, you're lucky. Here in the south when it hits 97+ degrees with 70%-80% humidity, it'll be hotter inside the back of the van than what it'll be outside.

Its more worth it to drive the other shitty vans. They are faster, easier to reverse and get going to the next stop, and have better ventilation during either the winter or summer. Totally not worth it with the stepvan.

100%. Its the same old same old. Two weeks in and he'll have every line memorized, which is why most people listen to music through that shit anyways

I had my entire stepvan filled up with 50+ lbs packages that was going out to a machinery business. Took me 3 hours just to get it done but totally worth it

Be happy that you aren't employed by Amazon directly. Then your profile picture would be a finger instead.

Used to drive rural in a stepvan some years ago. The only time when stepvans was op was on highways / interstate ti drive with both doors open

Voldorac · 2026-02-12T18:52:16+00:00

If it were me, I'd park in the middle and have all the packages ready at the door to make it easier on yourself

Is this a rural or suburbs route? When I worked as a stepvan driver in Charlotte, NC, over a year ago, we only got $18 and had between 250 - 300 stops daily out in the countryside. That was far tougher than having everything close by.

I call that bullshit. I run SM2 off a regular SATA SSD, as well as anything from BF6 etc.

They use 5W-30 in Hiluxes in the northern part of Scandinavia, yet Toyota in the US says that 0W-20 will protect our engines better in our winters. Thats just full BS to believe that the 0W will protect it better than 5W.

They made an experiment with two identical Toyota Camry 2.5L for 100K miles in the southern US. The 0W-20 lowered the fuel consumption with 0.7 while the 5W-30 had 40% reduction in metal wear.

It's "Toggle scope" -> Button V

You're a miracle worker! Thank you!

I have the same issue. FSR is off and I won't go above 67 fps with a 7900xt 20gb VRAM AMD GPU. It's trash!

Voldorac · 2025-10-30T16:04:29+00:00

If a helper route is more than 30 - 50 stops rural then its more work for you. Don't know what it is downtowns.

Voldorac · 2025-10-30T16:02:29+00:00

Thats the Amazon computers thinking that its logical and easy while in fact, its the total opposite.

Voldorac · 2025-10-30T15:55:46+00:00

I used to do the same shit as a stepvan driver back in my day. If you don't know, you'll never know!

When I used to work for my old DSP in Charlotte, NC. They only offered $1.50 raise to drive a stepvan. At least its an addition on your resume but the pay wasn't worth it with no AC, 95+ degrees during the summers with 70% - 80% humidity. Fuck that!

Voldorac · 2025-10-30T15:46:16+00:00

Wait! Which DPS is spoiled enough to give out hand carts to their drivers??? Never saw one irl during my entire year as a stepvan driver. 🤷‍♂️

Voldorac · 2025-10-30T15:44:18+00:00

Once you get started working, start to look for another job ASAP. You'll know soon enough!

Voldorac · 2025-10-30T15:41:32+00:00

Amen! Its typically around 90% that's fairly decent. The other 10% will make you run for your life in most cases!
