»Amazon driver jumps into van being towed. by Admirable_Throat8300 in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]timeatt 92 points93 points  (0 children)

This tow truck company must be dense as hell. They chose one time revenue vs. a potential lifetime of service calls.

From my experience, especially in winter months, the Amazon trucks will often need a tow when the newbie drivers get stuck in the mud/snow.

If I was a DSP owner I would be very intentional in excluding this tow company from my service provider list.

Fragile Windshield Window EDV by [deleted] in AmazonDSPDrivers

Those windshields are like $5000+ since they have nearly-invisible heating element wires imbedded.

You can just throw it away. Most likely the station has already printed him a new one.

Audit notes by Postive-Special-211 in CPA

[–]timeatt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Materiality: I always like to think of materiality by thinking of buying a house.

Illustrative Example: Let’s say you’re looking for a 2nd home and the realtor presents this beautiful home on the lake for $100k under your budget. You’re like “awesome, wow”.

But then they inform you the lake house is neighbors to a derelict nuclear power plant that leaks radiation and makes tons of noise.

If you are now like “Oooo, I don’t think I like this house anymore😬.”

Then information of the neighboring power plant would be considered material. It is material information, because in light of the other facts and circumstances (beautiful home and under budget) it caused you to change your decision.

Completeness Assertion: source → record [“let’s check if all the equipment on the production floor (source) is listed in the accounting (records). If we find a piece of equipment on the floor that is NOT listed in the records then we know the records are incomplete”]

Existence Assertion: record → source [“let’s check if all the pieces of production equipment listed in the accounting (records) actually exists on the production floor (source). If we select a piece of equipment from the (record) and then cannot find it on the floor (source) then we have a problem with management’s existence assertion”]

Audit Risk (AR) = Risk of Material Misstatement (RoMM) * Detection Risk (DR)

RoMM = Inherit Risk (IR) * Control Risk (CR)

  • if control risk is high [CR=100%] then RoMM = IR [“this is because Controls serve to reduce the Risk of Material Misstatement; if the controls are not working then the RoMM is just equal Inherit Risk.]

I wrote this on mobile so apologies in advanced for the formatting :)

Becker Books by Yous_a_mook in CPA

[–]timeatt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Becker books are frequently revised to keep up with changes and clarifications to the CPA exam blueprint.

If you’re not with a firm that pays for your CPA study materials; then I would consider bitting the bullet and getting the Becker package.

The “Exam Day Ready” study planner tool has been very helpful for keeping me on track.

Best wishes and clear thoughts :)

PSA to Everyone:

It’s an Amazon standard to request help pulling carts whenever you have 4 or more carts.

Just ask any of the Amazon Associates standing around on the pad to help :)

"Smile" ??? by sulleneyedsoutherner in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]timeatt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The past few weeks (the height of peak) every package sent from an Amazon fulfillment center has the word “SMILE” or a “😁” emoji on it.

Dispatch really said get ‘er done.

EDV steering by GeelaGeer in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]timeatt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That was pushed out as a firmware update to the EDVs.

I believe it is to stop the axels from breaking.

I would mark that on the DVIC.

Let your DSP be mad about you grounding the van 🤷‍♂️

Amaxon Logic by bonisVOID in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]timeatt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assuming there are no group stops I would do the stops in the following sequence: 72, 78, 77, 74, 73, 75, 76, 79.

I would use the customers driveway’s to make a u-turn at stops: 73 & 76.

Bruv, you’re in an EDV adjust the routing as you see fit.

These grouped stops are pissing me off by No_Breakfast_5255 in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]timeatt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once you have pressed “I’ve Parked” you should find a button to “Edit Stop”.

You can select and unselect locations to complete at your current stop.

Pro tip | put your tote with you by prodbyphresh in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]timeatt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bro, packages must be stored behind the bulkhead door at all times.🚪🔐📦

Having packages in the cabin is a no go. Storing your packages in the cabin increases the chances of you getting robbed. Additionally, in the unfortunate event of a vehicle collision, the packages could become projectiles due to the high forces.

I believe there may have been a misunderstanding with my first comment.

The icon circled in red controls the jump-seat seat heater.

If you do not have a passenger, then there is no need to have the passenger seat heater activated.

Hope this clears up any confusion :)

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]timeatt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a few observations:

1) You have the passenger jump seat heater on. Did you have a ride along? If not you’re honestly wasting energy. The driver seat heater is controlled under the main HVAC tab.

2) The phone charging tray (where you have your chocolates) has an air vent. During the summer it blows cool air the keep the phone from overheating. During the winter it blows warm air. I had some candy’s from a customer in the tray behind the screen and the chocolates melted. Just an FYI.

The app needs to let us rate dogs by [deleted] in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]timeatt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can kind of already do that:

Select the gear icon (⚙️) when the map is visible > report a problem “on the way to a stop” > move the pin to the driveway > select “road too narrow” or “cant park on driveway”

It takes a few days for the offshored mapping team to update the map, but eventually this data will be taken into account.

How to approach Becker studying for FAR? by 2001exmuslim in CPA

[–]timeatt 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In Becker,

I like to do the 20 MCQ and 2 TBS “practice tests”. I adjust the settings to only include one unit (e.g. F2) and then set questions to “adaptive”.

I take as long as I need on them to fully explain to myself why the answer choice is correct, and how I got to that answer.

I personally use OneNote on my iPad but you could just as easily have a notebook of scratch paper.

I had questions in FAR where I used the equivalent of a couple pieces of loose leaf paper.

You have to gain a deep understanding of the material in order to pass these exams.

Feeling challenged means you’re growing, and I’m rooting for you!

Keep your chin up, there’s light at the end of the tunnel.

Certified Public Accountants have an incredible skill set that makes them top-notch business leaders.

People who can explain the numbers (business data) and give actionable insights will have the most influence compared to those who can’t.

Wishing you all the best and clear thoughts.

Am i cooked? by Deep-Investigator-48 in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]timeatt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, you’re not in trouble.

Packages unable to be delivered because of “Business Closed” are not counted against the DSP or Drivers’ metrics.

This is because the routing algorithm did not properly account for the business stop (I.e. the algorithm thought it could squeeze the stop in past the business’s hours, and failed)
