Thank you for all the amazing comments. After this video, the most stops I’ve ever had got up to 172 with over 325 packages and I wasn’t getting home till about 9pm.

My son is an Amazon driver so I have tremendous amount of respect for them. One thing he left out in the video is my son has had people be so mean to him yelling even saying racial remarks just because they are stuck behind his van on a narrow road and he has no.place to go but forward. He has told me about the nice people that have feasts waiting for them because they understand so now I have cold water bottles waiting as well in this heat. Please be nice to the delivery drivers they mean something to someone out there. ❤

Amazon doesn't directly hire its drivers not only to cut down on operating costs but to prevent the drivers from unionizing like UPS

Respect. This is a great way to lose weight. I went from 255lbs to 198lbs in 6 months. Those apartments sucked.

I ordered an electric bike which was close to 150 pounds and i waited outside my house to help the Amazon driver. I thanked him and gave him water because it was over 100 degrees. I couldn't believe he told me that he had to deliver more of these e bikes to people's apartments upstairs that same day

I buy a lot through amazon. We appreciate your hard work and professionalism. You guys always drop off my packages at my door, unlike fedex throwing packages out on street and walking away. You are appreciated

[MrCardinalzboy]

It starts to suck when you have to make above 160 stops.
Keep in mind of the weather, most Drivers don’t even take their breaks.
Organizing your packages greatly helps you.
Business stops and apartment stops slow you down drastically.

[wrath]

Respect these guys work their asses off

[Jsimms]

Appreciate this video. I wouldn’t recommend this job to anyone. 190 stops a day is brutal. Mad respect to the people that can do this on a daily basis. It’s just not for me.

After leaving this job and starting a different job, It makes the new Job look really good

That's why I always leave an "Above and beyond" thank you for all my Amazon delivery drivers. Even when I have to take the elevator to the lobby to retrieve my package/s. Even when delivery is late. It's hard work and I appreciate ordering something while laying in bed and have it delivered to me, especially when you are elderly. Thank you all very, very much. And may God guide you and protect you always especially while delivering your packages.

I used to do that and let me tell you. It sucks so bad. They don’t pay the Amazon delivery drivers enough to handle all the package BS.

Used to be a janitor at amazon warehouse and about 70% of the drivers piss in bottles! We just started double bagging driver trash cans to avoid any spills!

[SteveDolen]

Just hired in. The two day teaining was done with an actual trainer going thru the vids. Two weeks in and im still on nursery routes but im handling 130 stops a day. I figured out amazon will pay your full tuition for a CDL class, so 90 days in and im immediately going to apply for that.

[Prizalius]

I am currently unemployed and seeking for a job, i will gladly take your job wholeheartedly because i like to work alone and i love to drive..

[Cat_Appa]

There are no Pros even at 21.00 an hour😂.
I don't know how I did it for almost 4 years but dropped my last route. Never looked back😅.

Hey man old delivery driver here I would recommend putting a folded tote in the passenger seat to put the envelopes and smaller packages on top. just makes it a little faster

[johnnie]

Amazon customer here, we really appreciated you and your crew.

[Jimmyrig]

I admire you and your work ethic, my friend. I couldn't do your job.
Please don't stay too long. You're still young, but you don't want to look back and regret staying at this or any other job that you don't like. You're a much more valuable young man. I'm 70yrs old and I wish I had moved on sooner from jobs I hated. Treat yourself and your time as the most precious things in the world. Trust me, you will never regret following that advice. Excellent video. Good luck to you!

'Prestin' you Sir are the heartbeat of America, and even though you'll be moving on to other opportunities, you did your job and toughed it out! Respect. AND informative video!
