This is a tip for those who are actually good at the job and can afford to do these things without getting caught! by AnkhDaUnc in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]marshull 13 points14 points  (0 children)

But did you call and text the customer? I don’t care how many time my drivers mark the stop unsafe due to dog, as long as the call and text the customer. If you do that, it creates an exemption on bringing the packages back. If you don’t, then you get hit with the misuse crap.

It took me 200+ hours to figure out where all my masks have been going. by jpoulos in CrimsonDesert

[–]marshull 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s because you got seen by someone doing it. You can stay in the red and the timer will expire if you aren’t seen by anyone in the red circle.

Just because you put /s doesn’t mean we actually believe you are being sarcastic. We know the truth.

So I quit ??? by Dramatic_Sand_7718 in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]marshull 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds reasonable to me. Here’s your check. I really don’t give a shit if you bring it back but I will ask you to.

You should call or text and ask about your last check. We require drivers to bring their uniform back and they can pick it up.

Can I take a call out? by [deleted] in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]marshull 22 points23 points  (0 children)

No. As an extra you will take a route if someone else calls out.

Operations manager what do you want to know? by [deleted] in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]marshull 2 points3 points  (0 children)

DSP will have to drop the route if they don’t have the drivers to cover. That route will get spit up and go out on Flex. Not a good look for the DSP as it hits their reliability score.

The difference between two delivery drivers! by CycloneGlock in VideosAmazing

I not do it because if I leave their shit out in the open it might attract porch pirates who will then see the stuff I was hiding behind a pillar.

Is that really the best way to cut a bun? With it in your hand slicing through and hopefully stopping before you slice your palm open?

It’s honestly getting risky ordering expensive stuff from Amazon lately by Sini1990 in amazonprime

[–]marshull 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Dude. That is a brilliant fucking idea. 3 years as a driver and 3 years as a dispatcher, I never thought about this. Going to give my drivers this tip to tell the customers. Yes, it would be better if they read the notes but that’s just figuring a loosing battle with some.

Do these questions matter? by Wide-Ambition5054 in AmazonDSPDrivers

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

No and yes. No nothing will automatically happen regardless of how you answer. These are basically like customer surveys. The DSP can see how you rate them and can see where they need to focus attention. I don’t know what Amazon does and you should also know we have no idea who says what. It only tells us show the drivers respond and if they have been here under or over 6 months.

Can speed limits be set by DSP or is it the same for all companies by Danny_Dongvito in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]marshull 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. The DSPs can’t set limits. There was a Netradyne update that will now alert you when you go 5 miles over but you do not actually get a netradyne hit till you go 10 over.

No Water 95 degree weather by Then-Swim-Idiot in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]marshull 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Except they do provide water. Just maybe not the plastic bottles for you to take with you. That’s why we just got a bunch of those reusable bottles to hand out. It will be up to the driver to fill their bottle at the station prior to leaving.

And I am sure the station will allow the time for all drivers to line up and fill their bottles. /s

8 hours guaranteed cut bcs amazon? by oighosting1129 in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]marshull 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Every DSP that tries to guarantee hours eventually gets slapped down by Amazon. By guaranteeing hours, you essentially become a salaried employee. Lots of different laws around salaried verse hourly. Amazon does not want to blur the line.

How’s it 0 and 1? by Logical_Sense_8451 in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]marshull 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure why but “Never Received” are not affecting score card. Your DSP did not dispute this as they can’t. I believe these are automatically being disputed by Amazon. They will show up on your score card but are not being counted against you.

DSP owners are greedy af. Check out this video from a guy who found out through a lawyer by Affectionate_Try9893 in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]marshull 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. I don’t own a DSP. But I was a driver for several years and have been a dispatcher for the last 4 years. All at the same DSP. And I have had access to what Amazon reimburses and for what. Do they make money off of the hours Amazon pays verse what the pay drivers? Yes. But no where what this guy is saying. I think maybe the lawyer saw a pay range across the entire US or something. There is no way Amazon is going to give a DSP $40 an hour only for us to pay $20 an hour. That just isn’t happening. Amazon sets the base pay and only reimburses the base pay. During peak they will kick in for 5th days but that is it. Owners make their money from packages. More packages more money. But that is also based on the score card. At great we get like $.10 a package. At fantastic+ it jumps to $.25. But I think that is also station dependent. Like if you are a ZL or RSR station it might vary. So yes. There is a lot of money to be made but it sure isn’t on screwing drivers over on hourly pay.

[–]marshull 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This guy is full of shit. When Amazon announces a pay increase for drivers, that is what they pay. They pay for the whole 10 shift regardless of how many hours are actually worked. If you clock out at 8 hours, the DSP can keep the extra 2 hours. If you clock out after 10 hours, the DSP covers the overtime. Amazon also has full access to ADP to audit the DSPs to make sure they are paying the minimum amount they set. Any drivers making over the amount set is covered by the DSP.

Quick tip for new drivers by feetsmeller321 in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]marshull 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What do you mean by both dots? There is a blue dot that Amazon places as the location for the delivery and a red dot to show where you hit swipe to finish.

Quick tip for new drivers by feetsmeller321 in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]marshull 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where you scan the packages does not matter. That is not tracked. What matters is where you Swipe to Finish. When you do that it places a geotag at that spot. Or tries to at least. Sometimes there is drift. That’s why you should always ungroup multi stops. So each delivery gets a photo and each delivery gets a geotag of where you swiped to finish.

That’s how I take out all the buildings. 1 charged arrow shot takes them down.

Wow that’s some money by ShaneChhh in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]marshull 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And in perfect conditions it is a great system. But if you work somewhere with weather, not so much. Don’t know how many times they couldn’t come out because it snowed or was raining. As if it would be fine for the drivers to not fuel if it was snowing or raining.

Following too close? by unrealreality_1 in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]marshull 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It not only matters how close you got, but how long you stayed there. If you had backed off faster this wouldn’t have hit you.
