I'm happy for you then. As a delivery driver you do get to see different places of whatever state your dsp operates in. It's hard work but I'd rather do this then work retail anyday

Hey brotha!! I noticed the same, lots of discouraging videos like “why I quit”, “I quit Amazon in one day”, etc etc. and it discouraged me when I first was going for the job. But at the end of the day, it’s like anything else, you can’t knock it until you try it. Stoked you found my video and it’s encouraged you to at least give it a shot! It’s not as bad as people make it out to be, I just think people thought less of it and it turned out to be way harder than they thought lol. But like I said, simple job, but not easy! You got this bro!!

lol thanks brotha! Just figured it’s best to warm these puppies up before the heaviness comes through. My knees aren’t in the best shape and with this job, it’s forced me to work on those weaknesses! Proud to report that I can handle the stairs much better now a days and the stairmaster, tho I HATE IT!, has been one of the best things!

For real!!

They could easily do that too,one drive,the other make deliveries,then switch after half hour or so

@@kickboxerforever00 exactly. So that both drivers are well rested too. But some dsps are just too cheap

​@@eamparbeng Maybe you and me should make one just like that? Lol

@@kickboxerforever00 yeah I know right?

update??

How hard you work? So why aren't the Amazon drivers HERE following basic fking instructions? HOW hard is it to READ? KNOCK ON THE DAMN DOOR, HAND THE PACKAGE TO A RESIDENT.

@@BeckyBlanton personally me I'm professional. I consistently get good reviews from customers on my route. But many drivers are lazy though. I can tell from how they leave the packages

@@eamparbeng I'm glad to hear it. My driver is a loss. NEVER follows directions. LAZY LAZY LAZY

@@BeckyBlanton I know the days can be long and hard, but just follow directions. Some customers might even tip you like I've been several times

Lies!

I like it bro. I had about that much the other day and tried my best to push through the first 100 and then had 40 packages left but they sent out a rescue lol

lol hey man I feel you! The route distribution is confusing and I feel the same. Some routes are easier and some routes will be crazy and then on top of that some times, you’ll get a van that just does not fit the load well. It would be easier if they could give a van that was more made for the load we have that day. I still don’t know how the routes are split up between everyone but this seems to be the biggest thing I have a problem with as well. Thanks for the comment bro! Good to hear your story and how your experience is so far!

Omg what a rollercoaster it’s been for you working there!! Sorry your DSP got shut down and you’re having to go through all this but at the least, you have another dsp, it’s just a question of when it’s going to start up! I’m glad you landed on your feet! Thanks you so much for sharing your experience with your DSP, this video was during the first week of my employment there and now that I’m a month in, I have opinions about it lol! In the next video, thank you again for stopping by and checking out the video and commenting! I really appreciate it!!

Aww 😊 thank you I appreciate that!! I’m happy to know that you can find comfort in my voice! Thanks for stopping by the channel!!

I’m so sorry to hear that! And so far I’ve averaged 6-8 miles everytime I work so you’ll def get your steps in lol and I was nervous too but they are very safe vans and they do cover you if anything happens! And I drive in the mountains so very sketchy roads and already got into a situation where I got stuck due to the rain and mud up there. But I got towed out luckily by a neighbor lol. But even with that, I still feel comfortable in them, I just can’t drive em like they have 4 wheel drive lol. Dispatch will tel you, if it’s unsafe terrain, don’t risk it, we’ll have to find another way for them to get their package. Look out for my next video coming soon brothA and maybe it’ll help you a little more to decide whether or not to hop onto this position! I appreciate your comment and stopping by to watch the video!! You’re a rockstar!

I was a landscaper and I used to do 40k steps a day lol

Omg agreed! I can’t stress that enough too which is why working out and form and technique are very important! I have pretty bad knees, so paying attention to how I turn and get up are crucial..which is why I like the EDV’s cuz it’s more of a get down then it is getting up from that seat! Lol

Thank you! For some houses I’m starting to do that cuz my gahd lol!

@@amytaylor8182 lol thank you!! And don’t freak it’s all good! You’ll be starting with a nursery route so you won’t have a lot and it will give you time to figure out how things work! If you have any questions let me know! And have fun!

Deng bro! You got thrown into the thick of it and that’s awesome you soared through!! Lol I did not! I already got some demerits but I just had to calm myself down a bit and the route I’m on is mountain side so very sketchy areas! But every day I’m getting used to how to drive up there and which packages will actually be deliverable instead of wasting my time trying to get to real sketchy areas. Thanks for sharing your experience my friend and thanks for stopping in and watching the video! I really appreciate it!! More to come!

Don't burn yourself out man it's a lot of repetitive movement. I know you're young and feel invincible but you don't want to be falling or straining yourself.

sorry to say but that's how it is with peaks, they'll hire a bunch during peak and probably wont get you guys the training and time to get adjusted to a certain amount of pkgs/stops/route. They just want you to help them through peak and after peak they expect you to quit so in turn they do not have to waste their time and money. It's a smart way of what they are doing but it's a pretty a-hole move

and also you can knock 198 stops in about 5h30mins if it's only a house route. But you knocked it out the water doing them for the first time in 6 hours 👏

If you get faster they will give you more packages 📦

Deng man that sucks!! I know the feeling of having to get it done in a certain amount of time with how much you got paired with bad weather! Sometimes seems impossible. Our dsp will send rescues if you fall behind schedule so that way we don’t pass that 10 hr mark. I mostly get done within 8-9 hours. That’s also with the help of some rescues on some days tho lol

Awesome brotha! Thanks for stopping by the channel! And I’m stoked to hear you starting your journey! I’m always excited to hear people finding insight through my experience and glad you found some inspiration behind it! Like I said, it’s a simple job but not easy! Keep that in the back of your mind my friend! Other than that, the jobs been good for me! I deliver in the Bay Area! How bout you bro?

@@martinmanaoat989 thank you for the reply brother. Oh nice, I have always wanted to visit the Bay Area. I would be delivering in the Redlands CA area, within the inland empire.

Good luck my friend! And I appreciate you for stopping in and watching the video! 🙏🏽

@@martinmanaoat989 Subbed too, hope all goes well for you!

I got the job! Thank you so much for all your videos!

@@SemadOfficial is it worth it?

@@SemadOfficialupdate?

Fill me in on what that is bro? Lol! After my 3 months, the plan is to look into other DSP’s

​@@martinmanaoat989 well it's FAANG : Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Netflix, Google. These companies are a dream job to many and VERY selective. Even if you left FAANG, having them in your resume is considered a golden ticket to get hired into another job. Amazon only hires 2 of 100 applications.

Amazon easy as hell to get into bub they are desperate for people nothing spectacular about working there

@@martinmanaoat989 FAANG is Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Netflix, Google.

At my DSP I haven’t experienced it. Everyone doesn’t get the same amount of bags I’ve noticed so some people will get done fast because of that. I’ve had a day where I got 13 bags and my coworker got 18. As far as being fired, if you make “big mistakes” for sure, you’ll be on the chopping block. But minor mistakes like missing a stop or forgetting a package, etc. those are small mistakes they won’t necessarily care about. Thanks for the comment!

It can be my guy, but I see people on the road UPS and FEDEX, that are older than me and I’m 40!

What in the world is that? And can you teach it to me?! 😆

@@martinmanaoat989 Hold the parcel in your hands and drop it as you kick it over the delivery address fence - Job Done!

Hey bud thank you for the comment and all the way from the UK?! Awesome! My first official route on my own I had about 65 stops!

@@martinmanaoat989that’s crazy low, I’m 4 weeks in to the job in the uk also, my nursery route lvl 1 had 120 stops, my full routes now are between 150-175 stops

Thats a good idea bro, 20k steps per day😅

Definitely will get your steps in and burn some calories brotha!!

I work with a few plus guy drivers and they are already seeing the weight drop.

i been doing amazon for 1 year now and started to do DoorDash in the side

@@frocity how you liking it? I see people complain on the Amazon Reddit all the time but it seems like most of the time you’d just be listening to music and driving around. What say you

They’re actually really good although mine are starting to wear down lol

They were different but after a while wearing them and changing them u get used to them

It varies from day to day but averaging around 350 packages. You probably won’t be able to move the whole tote up there but if you got room for sure! You can always empty the tote out and organize all the packages up front. That’s what I do now with the white vans or EDV’s. Hope this helped you brotha

@@martinmanaoat989 thank you bud. I just want a chill job. Music. Driving. Being outside. But I don’t want managers breathing down my neck

@@jaystechroom I can say that the job can be chill but take that with a grain of salt because it is hard work like I’ve said. Don’t expect it to be too chill, but on the side of being able to listen to your own music, you’re on your own, no manager constantly hounding you or eagle eyeing you and you’re out and about and driving, it’s definitely chill in that way n exactly why I took. Great pay, for what I consider to be a pretty chill job. It’s a win still in my book lol

@@martinmanaoat989 thanks man. How is it working in heat?

​@jaystechroom not so bad when it's dry, but it's brutal on a hot summer day after it rains

Nope! They just give me an extra phone! I may take that advice and actively search for another DSP!

Is there an overtime?

@@genkleman6819 I haven’t experienced overtime yet. In my experience at my DSP, they usually will get us back by 7p which marks the 9 hour mark. I very rarely make 10 hours

We don’t get paid per day but if you’re asking my hourly rate, it’s $23.00/hr so in that case, if I work 10 hours = $230.00 a day for 4 days a week.

🤣 KZfaq trynna force videos on others! I been there! Thanks for watching if you did, if not, thanks for commenting and passing by! I didn’t think I would be one either but here I am lol

@@martinmanaoat989 I did watch! Would love to see you rocking the Santa outfit hahaha

@@samconroyy lol! Deng I realllllly thought about it but it’s a little too late now cuz I’m going on vacay this weekend! But I’m glad you thought it was a good idea! I’ll come up with something in the new year for sure lol!!

That I am not sure. But we have rescue routes which technically are back ups. Is that what you were asking?

It goes against us on netradyne camera. It hardly effects score but if you get enough of them it does slightly effect your score.

@@geodude6244or they want you get your ass up again and walk around as if the invisible man is gonna appear behind you so you can back up 3 feet at 3 mph 😂 starting my dsp and hearing amazons policies with it are incredible they’re more careful with driving then any of us EMTs or paramedics driving an ambulance with someone’s life on the line god forbid you backup a van btw that has backup cameras and no obstruction to vision 😂

Thank you for the comment but, I’ve had boxing jobs since 2014. It wasn’t cuz of the skill, I got offered the jobs, it just didn’t work out for me because of distance. Plus those don’t offer benefits like the Amazon job. I should’ve dove deeper into it in the video but I hope that helps n I appreciate your comment as well!

I'm not sure who you think you are bro but that is so out of pocket, why would anyone want or value your opinion? I hope you find some happiness in your life, little one.

@@burkles4456 You don't have to value my opinion and my comment comes from a perspective on constructive criticism. As an example, if you only apply jobs that require a PhD in biology but you have no prior knowledge in biology, then complain that you aren't getting opportunities, would be idiotic at best. My point is to perhaps pursue something he is more skilled at or if he is adamant on having a career in boxing (very different than as a hobby), then realize how much more training and practice and hardwork he has to put in before he will see any real results. Having a bunch of people (friends assuming you are one of them) to inflate your ego and saying you are a good boxer and should look for boxing jobs will just hurt your own development and create delusional goals. Too bad people nowadays take everything up their butt and get offended by anything and everything, and you are even getting offended by something that's not affecting you or directed at you.

@@carsostudio8618 it’s ok bro, everyone has their opinions, you’ve only seen a little bit of what I do. Like I said I’ve been doing this for years. You may think my skills are “beginner at best” which is fine cuz as a martial artist teacher, coach and so forth, it’s important we stay students and learn from who we can learn from. I do appreciate your opinions and thank you @burkles4456 for backing me up, but he may be only basing it off this one little snippet of me hitting a bag. So if he’s ok making judgement off of one video, that’s alright, as long as I’ve been doing this, I know there’s always room for improvement. Do you box as well? I’d love to see your stuff! Also I’ve taken what you said and already replied with what actually happened. You replied, hopefully with good intent. Either way I appreciate you for stopping by and checking out the video and commenting on it!

n- that’s my coach!!!

Deng that’s a bummer to hear my friend. Just know tho, I appreciate your hard work, without us, they don’t get their packages lol! Keep up the hard work bud!

Americans tend to be more friendly than other countries

Hey brotha! Yes I am, I am currently making a video about my 6 months being there! Are you starting work there?

@@martinmanaoat989 I got hired. Haven’t started training yet. Training to be a bus driver but no summer work yet so I had to find something else in meantime. My background is still going through.

Thank you so much for your comment my friend! Just got back from vacay so I’ll be posting a lot more! And thank you for that catch! I’ll make sure to watch out for those and blur or just cut them out! Appreciate you for taking time to watch my video my friend!!

Thank you so much! Lol! She’s my baby and gotta take care of her! I appreciate you!

What?! Really?! Next time ya see me, say wassup!!

@@martinmanaoat989 nah I was jp lmao and I work for fed ex.🤣

In my area in California it’s $23/hr

All depends each dsp can be different as well and different benefits mine has tuition reimbursement in full amounts up to so much while others don’t so always look around on indeed is one of the best places as some of the dsps are hard to find by simply googling Amazon delivery drivers you may get the same results popping up but in south jersey here at almost all of the dsps they start at 20.75 some pay weekly some pay biweekly though understand you can switch dsps as well so at least you’re not stuck like if you worked at a business with only one set of bosses that you don’t get along with at least at a dsp each one has their own company own employees and own management so much easier to shop around I’ve even seen some willingly pay overtime and others who restrict it unless there is no other driver available but at the end of the day you only deal with “coworkers”/ bosses usually over the phone or brief times in the morning and end of the day but again shop around read honest reviews form employees and not lazy people who say it’s too hard cause it’s really not the hardest part is just learning the loading procedures and end of day returning but other than that it’s practically like DoorDash or even Amazon flex contractors on steroids and more secure and guaranteed hours compared to those services.

I was wondering how’s my man driving with his phone but it looked like he had a rental can maybe Amazon couldn’t get their “AI” camera inside 😂 shit I’ve seen my local station roll up in a damn budget company van and they couldn’t even opt for the all white people probably were sketched out some budget van is suddenly delivering packages 😂

Maybe they’re fine cause he didn’t “use his phone in motion” but honestly can’t imagine Amazon or dsp finding out about the customer info cause the vans stopped so unlikely the cameras going to send any of the footage of him recording to the folks who work in that department unless they see his YT

True, if you’re looking for job security. If not and you’re just using it to pass through and make some money, it’s worth it. All dependent on each one’s situation! Appreciate the comment my friend!

@@bigguccisouljamike191 thanks but it was just a quick drill

I’ve got a few trades under my sleeve brotha. But again, this is just another way to make some extra cash and to show some of those who don’t have a trade that this job isn’t so bad! Thank you for the piece of advice my friend!

Ups gets 140k a year

@@whocares1631correct gotta start out low which is fine and normal of course but much more competitive and at least here in south jersey fedex and ups are so scarce to find openings even in the warehouses whereas at least with a dsp especially if it’s a well recognized one in the area with plenty of years with Amazon or other companies that give some sort of good rep to at least give some job security while also being able to work elsewhere or go back to school as well

@@whocares1631that’s what I did I’m an EMT but want to go into computers instead now and no way I can do ems and accelerated courses with the continued education required by the EMT certs and such so it’s a decently paying job with minimal real stress and minimal interactions with your probably crappy doesn’t want to be there dsp leader 😂
