Who else hates delivering at night!!!

As a customer, I can confirm that after-dark deliveries can be stressful both ways simply due to darkness. I recently moved to a new house in a rural area, and one night around 8pm I saw a Penske truck park on the road near my 100' driveway. A guy in plain clothes started walking up the driveway, shining a flashlight everywhere. Honestly I was pretty apprehensive about the situation, since my FedEx tracking said it would be delivered the next day and I wasn't expecting any visitors. I met him near the door and my first words were "can I help you?" with an assertive tone. Turns out it was just the FedEx guy delivering a package. For some reason he didn't have a uniform and he told me they sometimes have Penske trucks fill in the fleet when needed. I'm sure that situation could have gone 100 different ways than if it were daytime.

I've only been a driver for a week now and what I've learned is that it seems like being slow enough to not have to rescue and being fast enough to not need a rescue is the sweet spot to be in. Seems to be no reward for working super fast other than telling yourself you're getting paid extra hours if your DSP has guaranteed hours but we're all getting paid the same for the same amount of work.

I don't work in anything related to logistics or have any desire to do so. But I LOVE to watch your videos! Your personality is so up beat and awesome. Keep up the great work!

This is becoming one of my favorite channels man keep it up love to see the grind and the new rivian van

I have been delivering for Amazon for 2 months now. You were my go to videos in the beginning process when I did the application cause I wanted to know what I was getting myself into. You were a great help. Thanks!!! I’m in central North Carolina, so it’s really rural with all my routes. It’s fine during the day with all the back roads and dirt roads but man, it’s difficult here at night in the winter. There are no street light, people don’t have marked driveways or marked mailboxes. They also don’t keep the driveways clean so I don’t know if I’m in the yard or on the drive way. It’s really frustrating at night. Don’t get me wrong, I’m LOVING this job but I can’t wait till summer to get here so it’s still light out at my last delivery. PS. I get to pet a lot of pups and that makes my day.

This style of vlogs just perfect and hella entertaining to watch

I worked in the sortation warehouse for 1yr and injured my back 😢 I used to scan 400-500 packages/hr for 10+hrs and my managers kept taking advantage of me and sending slower people home so I could improve their Warehouse Scan rate/ Efficiency. I wish you the best bro but take care of your body.

DNR also stands for do not resuscitate. Love your channel!

It would help immensely, especially for night deliveries, if every residence or business had their street number conspicuously posted and well lighted. Imagine if you had a medical emergency or someone was breaking into your house, wouldn't you want first responders to be able to find your house without wasting time searching for your street number?

You should def get a couple headlamps! Great for finding house numbers and avoiding wait time for camera flash

I just subscribed I am an Amazon delivery person in the south of France 🇨🇵🇨🇵👌 Good luck.😉👍

I live near the Rivian plant, not sure they will make it much longer so enjoy your EV........ Great video, glad I watched. We live near Rivian and never have seen an Amazon/Rivian delivery truck. Your attitude seems so much better than our drivers. And they BLAST their music, you can hear them come from a mile away, you know they are in the neighborhood.....:) And the beeping of the vans drives you nuts....(those vehicles seem to be going away here though) Unfortunately we are at the end of a route and get our packages between 7 and 9 pm most times, route originating 45 min away. But we appreciate Amazon since locally we can't get much of what we need anymore, it's crazy. The 2 day shipping has turned into 3 days, but I have recently had a couple next day deliveries...weird. So it's getting better now it seems and no complaints. The economy has shifted so much that I bet sales are way down. Good luck and be safe.

Idk why but I like watching you're videos even tho I deliver HVAC supplies. Just interesting to watch! Keep it up!

As much as i hated my time at fedex, night deliveries were kind of relaxing. Spent a lot of time in medford nj during peak, never got stuck delivering in the ghetto though, thankfully.

I like the Rivians there super cool glad Amazon added them to there fleet of vehicles

My DSP covers a vast majority of Omaha, Nebraska, I am often in the ghetto myself. I have only delivered at night in the winter because of the early sunsets. Usually due to my speed, I am done between 4 and 6 most days unless I get a crap route. Also in the ghetto, I never deliver to the back door even if they ask. Ghetto homes typically have untrained dogs, at least in my experience, and I have almost been attacked several times by dogs in the back yard.

Imma be starting training tomorrow as delivery cargo driver for amazon and your videos have been helping me a lot thanks🙏🙏🙏🙏

I'd have to say that the EDV is the BEST in town delivery vehicle for a regular route by far. My only complaint, quit nerfing the stereo volume. The volume on my phone speakers is louder. I bring a BT speaker with me on those routes. Great content, fellow Amazon DA.

U should do more night time ones if possible.love ur videos they are pretty interesting keep it up my guy

You should invest in a Head Lamp for night time deliveries. Comes in Clutch when I do doordash

I love delivering near the night time, it's kind of cozy with lesser traffic, just need to make sure you always have a light xD cause spotting placards is a pain.

To day it my DSP I had a small route of 165 stop and did a rescue of 17 stop for a total of 182 I delivered my first package at about 11:30 AM and I completed my 182 stop at 6:45 PM

Yes I just started with a DSP a month ago for amazon, I didn't know a thing about the business. Our rescues are mandatory and we don't get paid extra for them :(. Besides that it's a pretty decent setup, I have been getting 5 days a week since the start plus some OT.

I deliver for USPS and was scared something would happen after dark. Such as a customer not realizing that I’m delivering mail and draws a weapon on me.. or I can’t see a dog because it’s dark

❤ your Vlogs.... About to start next week in Houston, Pasadena, Laporte, TX area. What brand gloves are you wearing, need a good pair.

Love the videos. 🎉 I myself work for A DSP love my job most days I have 130 stops take me about 7 hours get paid for 10 hours only good part about the job lol

The sounds that van makes. I swear its like your in BladeRunner2049

Dope videos bro

Man, I stopped Delivery in January. I was doing it for seasonal around Peak. I just needed a new job. we had only white vans, Ford and Ram, and the very small cargo van. Just got tired of it, but if they bring these van to manteca, I will join again, but they don't have them here yet seem better and more spacious.

I started laughing when you talked about unknowndispatch 😂 nice video, sent it to my girl who just started working for my dsp with me to learn some tips.

6:30 nice type r, well hidden behind the old merc 🤣

Man i don’t miss this crap. I used to run a downtown route and it was always 180-220 stops from 400-600 packages. That was daily. I’m glad I quit during load out. Did that for two years. Fuck that. Respect to all of y’all who still do it tho

bruh not you saying the ghetto x100000000000000 times lmao

This job is terrible at night. All I can say is, after years of doing this job, headlamps are an absolute must. Rechargeable, and 1200 lumens are pretty good. Also, probably best to avoid rear door delivery, since people love leaving their dogs out, loose and unchained. Drop at the front door and dip.

Hey bro would really appreciate if you’d dedicate a video on how you organize your packages including overflows. Thanks bro!

Chris happy Easter to you and your family

I hated delivering at night as a pvd for UPS . Especially in the rural areas

Idk why but I watch your videos when I’m waiting on my packages😭😭

I deliver 180 stops by 6:00pm and I get to my first stop by 12:15pm to 12:45pm so I’m used to the dark

I work for FedEx as a package handler and I’m going to try to become a driver next year but for Amazon as I see the quality of vehicles is way better. I think warehouse environment FedEx beats ups and Amazon but not for deliveries.

Hi Laos, I'm starting a job as a driver soon. I heard you mention you're in NJ, may I ask what warehouse you're based out of?

yay I love your videos so this is day One of me trying to get your attention !

Hey, when you going to talk about FICO scores? Do they still have that? Also, do they still, "call, text, call"?

my local dsp delivers in the hood too (over 10 projects) and it doesnt require you to deliver straight to apartment doors. the ones here just drop off right downstairs. in the apartment lobby

I’m always impressed a how different things are in other countries over here no matter who’s making the delivery it would be unthinkable to leave the package on the steps like that, either in your mailbox or they knock and deliver the package directly

this looks like alot of fun, what do you get paid for this work?

I always do 189 stops and I finish around 6pm but unfortunately the DSP I work for is mandatory to rescue which sucks because I always finish my route all by myself and now I have to help this person because they’re lazy and slow after doing 189 stops :(

I figure something important; u guys has better phone too; we use those suck Motorola which run slow, stuck all the time, bugs all the time and poor battery life. Hope one day Columbus can have the same stuff as u guys

As a ups driver I’ll will say night time deliveries suck especially if you don’t know the area luckily everyone pretty much has a 9am start time so no late night deliveries for the guys in brown only during peak and winter. Be careful in those hood areas idc what customers or managers say I’m not risking my safety going to back door in the dark not having a single clue what’s back there same for apts not walking around sketchy apartments looking for units you can come get them at the front door of the building. Even as a top scale ups driver making almost $40hr i don’t get paid enough for that.

4:00 That guy you cut off will forever hate Amazon now. 😆 (Oh, until he gets $10 off on Prime Day or something. 😆)

Yesterday kicked My entire ass 😒 I had 244 stops with 19 bags and 34 overflow residential and apartments all day SMH first stop was at 10am and I got back to my station at 825 longest day ever 😅

9pm?! Geeeez man! Stay safe out there in the dark!

Is there a reason you dont knock or ring the bell at least once? Or people get a notification its on their doorstep?

Just wondering why you never knock on the door to deliver? in the UK they have to knock the door or ring bell

Hey sorry weird question but what area do you deliver at? Do you do it in st.Paul ?

I’ve seen the amazon drivers here in Vegas delivering up until 11pm respect!

I deliver out in the sticks most of the time and as soon as night hit it sucks lol

night time delivery in the ghetto you are a brave man. Most of them are oaky to be in during the day, At about 7-8 it is time to get out

Do you recommend getting some gloves? If so, where's a good spot to get some?

i hope some day we get the Rivian Vans here in Germany!

The batteries last a whole route without charging (assuming you left with a full charge?)

I never deliver to back doors after dark, to risky most people aren't expecting a 9pm backdoor Amazon delivery especially with the country routes

6:37 thats a nice type r there

Of course Amazon would start the DSP delivering to the hood at 12 PM, they don't do that shit in Seattle, the latest they dispatch 6-9 AM.

10:30 Wait, if I say to deliver in the back and you deliver to the front, you'll probably get fewer packages, right? 😀

I was just watch all your other videos then I see this!?! 😮😮😮

9pm…Jesus Christ, the latest I think I ever did was 750pm and I still have to drive 45 minutes back to the station

Bro that truck is so lit up at night 😅 but damn being out late this time of the year? That’s bad broski you’re DSP need some new drivers to creat some routes if they can so they don’t kill you

you blocked their door. put to the left of it. when they open the door it pushes the package.

Great video! Wondering what gloves you are using?

I am so looking forward to the EDV's my DSP is getting soon. Really wanting to compare it to my CDV. My only question is how the EDV works with iPhones. My DSP has started to switch to iPhones over the slower androids.

What part of Jersey is that?

I hate delivering at night. You waste so much extra time trying to locate the dam house. What is your strategy to find the correct house number when you can’t find the house number anywhere in the entire complex? What is the best place is put the number front and back of those mailbox. Some have mailbox but no fn numbers. Door don’t have number they put the number in some weird location. Please share how you figure it out so I can deliver quickly. Thanks

Wow I really enjoyed the video Two things At night - u don't have sun so it's cooler to work but u will have more traffic till 9pm Tho after 10pm the roads are free so easier to travel etc But day time it's very hot but safer and easier to navigate So I kinda like day time / very late 🤔 And in general is it safe for u to deliver at night ? I understand ppl are down on their luck/ have real bad times - it's hard life :(

Where can you buy those color boxes to put you packets in and what the name of it.

Why do they want to get rid of the cargo vans?

It's not just your DSP we deliver to luxury apartments gates everywhere a mailroom where you need to open 2 sets of doors to get in but we are forced to deliver door to door because Amazon be trash like that

So it's seems like you have some pros and cons to your new DSP and the one before. Driving the Rivan most make it a whole lot better? It sounds like you miss the quite neighborhoods of Montclair, Little Falls, Cedar Grove?....😜

That white car with the fin was niice

I work for Amazon and I worked for fedex before I wonder if fedex is going to get a new truck lol

that don’t look like the “ghetto” to me. i would deliver there and not feel uncomfortable. looks nice actually & like you said it’s not as bad as some people think! the ones who say it’s bad never even been there or just driving through 😮‍💨

as someone who uses amazon australia i wish they would read delivery notes leaving a box of drinks infront of a door that swings out isnt ok especially for someone in a wheelchair but amazon here just hires anyone with a car unlike the US the oddest thing i found is they use imperial measurements on there AU site we are a metric country

Hate when you can’t see the address numbers on the houses at night lol

so do you like the Rivian? Any complaints?

What is your average daily mileage?

had no idea late deliveries were a thing, don't think i ever gotten a package past like 6

2:53 a driver did this to me in the middle of the night, Why do delivery drivers try to open up are doors. If there trying to be nice and put the package inside at least give a heads up

what's the milage on this thing ?

what city is this, it looks chill af

Unbelievable how clean these truck look.

POV: you got the chrisfix like intro (not saying you copy him btw)

Tôi rất yêu thích công việc này...chúc bạn có những chuyến đi vui vẻ 😊😊😊😊

technology is finally here 😂

How does the flex app sync with that screen that’s pretty cool i wonder what software they use on the electric van 🚐

Looks like elizabeth NJ

Why don't amazon drivers have the same route everyday? I won't for a UK parcel carrier and route knowledge is key to making the job easy. Love the videos.

unknown dispatcher made me question how he does this job eating that much junk food. but when he got fired i got sad cause we wouldn’t get to see his food haul anymore

Halo, Saya juga seorang kurir di Indonesia, dan saya juga benci mengantar paket di malam hari, saya tidak memakai truk/van, saya mengantar paket menggunakan sepeda motor, selain malam hari, hujan badai juga sangat menyulitkan, karena saya menggunakan sepeda motor, sangat menyenangkan melihat kamu bekerja walau saya tidak mengerti apa yang kamu ucapkan, salam hangat dari Indonesia, mohon maaf saya tidak bisa berbahasa inggris, saya harap youtube dapat menterjemahkannya.😊

Expensive van yet the pwm of the cargo dome lamps are horrendous.
