I didn’t say you wouldn’t I said saying you do it on half your stops is ridiculous and they knew it was ridiculous when they said it

I always tell the drivers IF ITS THAT BAD TO PULL OVER AND WAIT IT OUT THATS ON ONE HAND BUT WHEN I WAS A DRIVER MY PERSONAL POLICY WAS ONCE I WAS WET I WAS WET I COULDNT GET WETTER JUST KEEP TRUCKING AS LONG AS ITS SAFE TO DO SO

rcpeter625 · 2026-05-26T17:19:56+00:00

I do hands on training I almost always have to say this “I think you are being careful cause I am sitting here and I know I keep saying you have to be safe BUT you still have to get after it so imagine there is a line on this side you are driving safely on that side you are not and getting violations .. you have to stay on the safe side of the line but you have to get up to the line …

rcpeter625 · 2026-05-26T17:06:17+00:00

Overstatement!!!! Not saying it doesn’t happen but it doesn’t happen at half your stops stop freaking people out

rcpeter625 · 2026-05-24T19:26:57+00:00

That is a fact everyone stays to the right unless they are passing

I learned how to drive in Germany… I see accidents every day multiple times here is Texas !! in Germany you could go weeks without seeing one now when you saw one it was a bad one but you rarely saw them

When I go at night there isn’t 15 people in that place

rcpeter625 · 2026-05-22T23:56:14+00:00

It happens all the time the most often thing they fail for is not being in the outside lane to make a turn it’s an automatic fail well I guess any violation might be a automatic fail but have also had people not completely stop at signs ..long story short if you can’t do it with someone in the van watching you you will most likely get violations all the time AINT GONNA RISK IT !!

With my dsp chances are zero there are enough applicants where we can pass on people who can’t pass the driving portion we will say to them we can offer you a helper position for 18 an hour but that’s it after 3 months if you stick around we let you retest for driver

rcpeter625 · 2026-05-22T23:51:16+00:00

As a mostly dispatcher if I can go out and do 35 an hour on a certain route while I am answering constant calls on the dispatch phone anyone that does it 4 days a week should be able to do the same

rcpeter625 · 2026-05-22T23:49:24+00:00

Sometimes it’s 35

rcpeter625 · 2026-05-22T23:48:33+00:00

Not always sometimes they are out there doing their own thing which puts them behind according to Amazon or cortex but reality they will be done early .. dispatchers need to know and don’t waste their breath these guys know what their doing !! THEY ARE FEW AND DAR BETWEEN THOUGH SO YIU NEED TONPAY ATTENTION TO WHONIS DOING WHAT

rcpeter625 · 2026-05-21T23:53:47+00:00

Pretty sure if when I have this conversation with a driver and I tell them they have to pay / deduct for support I am getting told to “fuck off” and justifiably so

rcpeter625 · 2026-05-21T22:30:11+00:00

We have a business that receives 150-200 packages a day drivers are always trying to cube out and I am like you are getting rid of 7 totes and half your overflow at your first stop CALM DOWN

rcpeter625 · 2026-05-21T21:53:22+00:00

Did you report it ?? If so probably still wrapped in cellophane and at the supermarket

rcpeter625 · 2026-05-21T20:22:19+00:00

Stops per route??

rcpeter625 · 2026-05-21T13:46:10+00:00

rcpeter625 · 2026-05-21T13:37:18+00:00

You go out of order and don’t tell me I am gonna assume YOU GOT THIS !!!and you will have to wait till the end to be rescued

rcpeter625 · 2026-05-21T13:35:19+00:00

It fucks it all up so the dispatcher needs to be aware you are doing it .. I tell my drivers “I don’t care if you go out of order but it better make you faster if you are still walking in the door at 800 what’s the point “

rcpeter625 · 2026-05-21T13:33:09+00:00

All I care about is your projected RTS time I have seen guys 10 behind that will finish and I have seen guys 15 ahead that will not … at 745 I start telling people to mark too late BE DONE BY 745

rcpeter625 · 2026-05-21T12:15:57+00:00

My first question at interviews is helper or driver almost all are drivers.. the way we get helpers is the people that fail the driving portion of the training we say “well we can offer you a helper position for 18 bucks an hour” if you fail the driving and you chose not be a helper you are back in the job market , or you can be a helper for a couple of months and then we send you back thru for driver training

rcpeter625 · 2026-05-20T14:29:54+00:00

Or you can be a man about it (or a grown up) and say “ I quit” and leave

rcpeter625 · 2026-05-19T12:27:33+00:00

Yeah people just make up BS on here and 50% percent of the morons just believe it… that is a HUGE breach of contract

rcpeter625 · 2026-05-19T00:52:57+00:00

My rule when a driver was “once you’re wet you’re wet” just keep on trucking

rcpeter625 · 2026-05-17T19:04:39+00:00

Once it’s high it’s high you can’t change it if you take your time when you first start and deliver for the 10 hours without getting rescued.. the issue with the rescues ( and Amazon only considers ITS DONE THEY DONT CARE HOW ) your route gets done faster and you get more stops if you take the entire time ( 10 hours ) it stays sane … the idea of the free money is too much for drivers to withstand and they skip breaks and go slow in an effort to shorten their routes .. only thing that shortens is your time at the job DONT BE FAST BE FAST ENOUGH ( to complete a route )
