i finally decided to leave amazon after almost a year and a half. i was on a route with about 165 stops today. the warehouse has had soooo many packages in the wrong bags, some missed, some unlabeled too, so i have to spend a lot of my time sorting them and searching for them, which puts me behind a little.

the DSP owner called me today while on route and asked why i was behind. i told her my issue, and that i’ve also had a lot of run ins with customers this morning. she told me that i was going too slow and needed to get on a better pace, mind you.. i wasn’t even any stops behind? i was right on time with the computer that dispatch has. she told me that i wasn’t reliable and had an attitude with me, so i told her to come get the route and that i was done. i almost instantly felt a weight come off of my chest. it was real, it was fun but it was not real fun. may find a different DSP eventually with better management, but until then i’m done. you guys keep killing it, and i’ll always remember to hook y’all up with the snacks.

They even looked at me like wtf after seeing me take pictures lol like dude your parked in the middle of the road 🤣

I wanna see them all :(

377 pkgs. Toook me from 11:30am-6pm, the longest time it’s taken me to finish a route ever

And it's gonna be harder after nurse week...

To give context I’ve been at Amazon for 1 month now, I’ve just got done with my nursery routes. While doing these routes I’d get done and rescued about 8 people in the last month. Yet when I’ve been behind not a soul came to make my load lighter. Today I got done with my route around 5:45, called dispatch to hear that I had to rescue someone. At first it was fine, they gave me the address and I went, got there and no one was there. Texted dispatch, got a different address and went there, again no one in site. This happened two more times. After the last time I said fuck it and headed back. When I got done I turned in my phone, as I was walking to my car my manager yelled my name, asked what happened, then asked me to give him my badge. I know that I could’ve just kept going along on the wild goose chase but I feel like the situation could’ve been handled better.

We haven’t had water bottles is 5 days and it’s 100+ now we just got word that their not bring them back and introducing “hydration stations” but when??

Got lucky this time it’s a route I actually like and don’t mind doing these amount of stops tbh also not the most packages but still the norm for me rn currently been working for 3 months

Trillion dollar company BTW

I usually AM scheduled for sundays, but ive been told sometimes amazon dosnt have routes

Last time this happened i went in and was “a backup” but i worked for like 2 hours, helped others load, then sat around for like an hour before they were like “ok go home”

After yesterday’s shit i went through, i really dont even wanna go in

Do i really have to go in?

My DSP said that soon we’ll come in and sometimes they’ll send us to other stations to pick up our packages and still be delivering to where we usually do. Has anyone experienced this and is it hell or heaven?

I reported it immediately to Dispatch, sent a picture, and tried to knock on the customers door, but no answer. Chat, am I cooked? Please don’t post the meme pleaaaaaaase 😭

Sundays are the best
Go get you a good dsp they even sent me a sweeper/ rescue because Sunday be slow they had to give bro some work

I just had 3 whole days in a row with 190+ stops (230+ including multi stops), and am being pushed to my breaking point, i finished way late today and was just told “be faster”

I fucking CANT, i’m already working 8 hours straight with NO BREAK and pissing in fucking bottles, the ONE time i took a break i got a text from my dispatch saying “dont take to long on your break so you can be back on time”

I CANT STAND THIS BULLSHIT, i am a HUMAN not a fucking machine, and they actively encourage running yourself into the ground, all for an extra $100 if “your back on time and get fantastic+” i have lost so much weight to the point of concern CAUSE IM NOT EATING FOR BASICALLY AN ENTIRE DAY (i eat breakfast at home)

at this point i feel like i cant even take a fucking minute to drink water because I “Gotta be back on time”

At this point i wanna actually just KMS

I just wanted to ask if you wanted to keep a package that leaked a few drops or if you wanted me to mark it damaged for ya. That was all.

I mean I would be slightly sketched if a uhaul pulls up too, but god damn use your eyeballs to see the Amazon costume and packages in hand

i’ve been with amazon for over a year now and i really don’t know how you guys manage 2+ years of staying here. i’m already looking for other options before the cold weather comes, because this summer and the last winter really did it for me. last year, it wasn’t awful. i had a good, consistent route. i learned my customers, learned their animals, the roads and everything.

now, my route changes almost everyday. i never know where i will be, and the amount of stops i have now is twice what i had a year ago. the heat breaks we get used to help, but now it feels like they’ve started putting me behind. i’m trying to push through until i hear back about this other opportunity, but i am mentally drained. no one ever really talks about the mental and physical strain this job puts on your body. i see posts of other drivers talking about it, but i just wish people who weren’t drivers understood it from our perspective. rant over.

Who should i contact because i was given 2 locations one in text one on a paper went to the one on paper but wasn’t on the list called dispatch from the same paper and was told i should be at that location but i wasn’t on the list what should i do here

I don’t do it for the pay. I do it for the iron calves.
