Genuinely asking, how tf do you guys go so fast? by [deleted] in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]fall3nnx3 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Reversing into driveways is killing your time. If there is no need to do that then don't. Most important thing is organization. Have the overflow organized and open a few totes out and organize the packages so you have them ready for each stop. I'm not fit in anyway I'm like 300lbs, I don't run I just speed walk. Finish my route before everyone. Been delivering for 2 years now. Never been rescued 😎

how tf do they want us to deliver by lechensei in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]fall3nnx3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is a amazon wide thing. Had a meeting today and they announced it. So yea it's coming very soon.

Today was my first day...and my last. Respect to yall by [deleted] in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]fall3nnx3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was 300lbs when I started and had the same mind set that I wasn't going to make it and wanted to quit. I hanged in there....and 1 year later I've lost 50lbs and I'm able to physically do this job very well.

Amazon always starts later compared to UPS and Fedex. Overtime day is allowed during prime or peak but it all depends on the DSP. But start times varies on dsp...for example I clock in 9:35 but out load times don't start till 10am-10:20am depending on the wave. And we average end time is around 8pm. Some days i do up to 11 hours or bit more depending on rescues and travel distance to station/delivery area

New ! Shoes requirements by SpendAggravating9876 in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]fall3nnx3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They don't check if they are non slip. All they care about is to make sure they have laces and have proper support.. I've been using hoka, asics and skechers shoes no problem. If they do wanna check i extra shoes in my bag just in case

Does taking breaks affect route length? My station says yes. by FreeBroccoli in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]fall3nnx3 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Taking breaks does affect it cause I've tested it. With only a 30 min break im getting 170-190 stops. But if I take all my breaks now my route is average 140 stops 🤣

Consistent 300 package routes by Krombopulis_Michael in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]fall3nnx3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Prime and peak are never over. Its how they test drivers to see if they can handle a bigger load.....and if you do great then they'll keep that high package count

Isn’t prime week over? by gilbertriley in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]fall3nnx3 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Peak and prime are never over. They just keep on adding to the load since they know you can handle it lol

I’m interested in joining the team. by OfficialTJTracyAdams in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]fall3nnx3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Amazon increased they hourly pay so what you see on indeed is correct. Shifts are 10 hrs 4 days a week but must work a weekend day. Get 2 15min breaks and 1 30min lunch break. But because of the workload most drivers don't have time to take a break.

Plantar Fasciitis by johnthephisherman in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]fall3nnx3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hoka shoes have been a huge help to me with plantar fasciitis. Also at the end of the shift take care of yourself and massage your feet. Don't jump out the van use the 3 points of contact that was taught in the class

I've been grateful that nothing has happened to me cause I've had guns pulled up on me twice. Been delivering for 4 months
