Hi just moved to Virginia recently, and desperately need a car. Trying to work really hard to achieve that to get something reliable and cheap. I found and now and working for a DSP while also just being hired at a warehouse permanently as pick and stow for their flex schedule minimum of 4 hours a week. If anyone has any info it would be greatly appreciated.
I had to cross a red light today because vehicles were racing behind me; by the time I reached it, I was already halfway through in the middle of traffic. I pushed forward and completed my initial deliveries. Afterward, my route paused and I was called back to the station.
My dispatch instructed me to park and charge the van, and I must take a drug test immediately or face termination—apparently Amazon flagged the issue rather than the DSP. Now I am home today. Am I fired?
I had to do one of the garage deliveries and they were already home and asked if I wanted it. I said shx yea!!
I’m already on the journey of trying to build my own Pc I’m tired of the Mac Studio for editing. Plus I already got a pS5 and a Xbox
Been there two weeks now. Think I had 130-148. Got rescued they took like 25 then later my phone died because of a faulty charging cord. I don’t think that’s my fault sounded like I was being blamed. Normally I use my own cord but it was too long and would get in the way. Had my last 25 before was done . Had got rescued and told to return to station. Am I cooked ?
"Amazon confirmed the woman was a driver, but her identity and the cause of death have not been shared."
I'm curious if this will actually result in a meaningful reduction of stops during the summer months. Because a reduction from 190 to 180 is 100% bullshit. Two 10 minutes breaks absolutely isn't enough. To be fair, I am only speculating that it is was a heat related death, but come on.
Do they pay the DSP a set amount of money based on the size of the route, or the total number of packages, or just that each route has a base level value?
I’m asking because it’s the height of summer right now, and our hub has been slamming us with much earlier return times, on a bigger parcel count (for the same routes I was doing back in June).
I’ve also been getting return times that are 3-4 hours earlier than usual, even when I have a full cargo load (in a CDV). Of course these are impossible to realize, but I just want to know the logic behind this new “policy” over the last 4 weeks
I don’t like that I have to travel a hour plus away for my first stop and have to leave out that area that’s a hour away just to be back in time. Just to be told at the end of my shift I had 10hrs to complete my shift. If I’m clocking in at 9:40 pad 10 10 or something like that. Don’t make it to my first stop til 11:45. Then I have to make sure I’m done by 6 so I can be back in time . That’s not 10hrs that’s more like 6/7hrs to do my shift
Sometimes this job feels like a giant gamble because you don’t know what you’ll get until you get in your truck after the inspection. Like this week was hell!
Was wondering if anyone know how to get my cdl through Amazon or its best to do so elsewhere
I just left Amazon delivery and I am starting a channel that tells funny stories about the jobs and problems. Feel free to ask anything
Some people be asking for the most outrageous location sometimes .
I was told that we don’t have enough vans by my dispatch and ima just have to deal with this.. there are blind spots the mirrors don’t catch!
I also got 259 stops today. Am I cooked?
I was eating and texting allday but with my head up so the camera didn’t flag me. As soon as I get back on the pad to return my totes I grabbed my device to put arrived, but my head was down(I had forgot😭) thought I was safe on the pad. Am I cooked ?? She said distracted driving
I’m not sure what is up with my DSP. For some reason when I get a ride alongs I’m being told things as if I’m incompetent with my job from the ride along person. They’ve all been with the company for years. It unfortunate because hear nothing from my operations or my DSP about work ethic other than my first day solo falling behind. It seems things that are communicated to the dispatcher on second shift before returning to station don’t seem to be getting communicated back to the team. Should I change my DSP? This is annoying to deal with . I only drove there about a week and have had 2-3 ride alongs. My first ride alone was my first day. The second was because i requested it because didn’t do too well with timing on my first day( got the training days later didn’t need it anymore), and the third time I think it was a ride along because the person told me it was because of my timing in general, but the DSP told me something different when I addressed it.
My conviction for a DUI was back in 2019 is been 7 years and 8 months since i got the conviction, will i be able to get the job as a driver, My interview is tomorrow.
