Ive found organising parcels by street rather than Assist number has really sped me up. That way I am more likely to notice when I can grab an extra parcel or envelope without looking at the map or list so often. It makes it easy to stick a smaller number of parcels on a short street “in the basket”. The parcels often dont come out the van in DA order, so DA ordering is a waste of time for me. The other day, one stop I had 8 parcels to five houses… amount of stops are meaning less and less when multis are high, as far as times concerned.

I've done it six years and have always said if you see 145 stops but 185 locations your doing 185 stops and I stopped doing the route in amazon's order a long time ago I do it in my own order sometimes the stops what meant to be first I do last lol

Hi m8 just checking,doing my 2 ride along shifts b4 out on my own,1 guy if no one was home says if a customer isn’t home and we’ve tried texting/calling them they’ve not replied,no designated spot to leave parcel so he said we had to return ltr to deliver.none of the packages req signature/password so could we not have just left it somewhere safe/out of sight and put a we missed you note thru the letterbox stating where it was? Seemed to me the obvious thing to do but he says no ‘door stepping’💁

It's all done ready for you all you have to do at the depot is grab your cages and load even the route is mapped out for you and I'd say if your a new driver follow the route I'm experienced so I don't follow amazon's order I do the route how I want to lol

@darrennorgrove8734 7 ай бұрын
One last piece of advice if you're quite far from the depot try and finish before the debrief closes so you can give any returns you got to them otherwise if you miss them you will have to go back to the depot yourself I don't know what time the debrief will finish at your depot but at mine it's about 6:30pm or if there vans full before that they will go earlier
