Amazon should pay DSP drivers at $25 an hour with full health insurance to deal with that job.

I work for a DSP in Chicago & I'll just say this. With this kind of job, you have to understand that it's not long term, if anything it should be used as a stepping stone until you find a better opportunity. You have to take the good with the bad. It also depends on the DSP you work for. Mine is pretty chill, and yes I do rescues every day but I'm only there four days a week. So in my opinion, what is there to complain about? I worked for a terrible company for almost two years in a warehouses where I was racially profiled constantly, and I had a bunch of supervisors watching my every move. I was also working 60+ hours a week Mon-Sat nonstop. I would take this job any day over that. Is the job ideal? No, of course not. Some days are absolutely terrible depending on what route you get. But at the end of the day you gotta do what's best for you and your mental stability. If a job is making you unhappy, then leave. But I can wholeheartedly say that Amazon isn't the worst job in the world either.

I liked it at first. Nursery routes were awesome but on week two I was getting 300+ stops. One day I had 320 and after I loaded my van that was so packed I couldn't even move I turned around went back to my dsp, left the keys in the truck sent the boss a text that I'm done blocked his number and never looked back

Forget this job. Anybody thinking of taking it: DONT. Unless it’s your only choice, but even then be on the look for something else. This job is not worth it, it is by far the absolute WORST job I’ve ever taken. The drivers deserve at least double whatever they currently get

I left my day 1 of on road training. They expect you to follow the laws of the road while the trainer showed me he drives wrecklessly and does illegal stuff to deliver. I hate the fact they expect us to deliver fast and dont tell us, im over here taking my time because im cautious and checking again on addresses and packages, i was told that i had a bigger load than other day 1 trainees with more overflow. Oh hell no i aint staying with that job. Lifting 50 lbs of big and small product on my own and expecting to deliver fast each stop. They can kiss my rear end. I also hate the flex app kept circling me around just to deliver another package for the same customers 😭

Brother I’m going to give you some advice: you ready? Run from a job like this!!! I did the mistake of working for companies with no future like this when i was young. You don’t actually work for Amazon! You work for another company that has a contract with them. That means no benefits, lousy pay & no work/life balance! GET YOUR CDL! whether it’s an A or B. You’re gonna have a lot more opportunities. I get my weekends off everytime & you should to. You should not work more than 8 hours unless you want to. You should be making 30 an hour or more! Don’t get comfortable in a job like this!!!! Good luck guys..

Like most people who’ve said in their comments: DO NOT TAKE THIS JOB. The pay and the workload they spring on you isn’t worth your mental health or health in general. Amazon wants you to move at a certain pace, usually at 25 stops an hour. If you move quicker than that but you have only house deliveries on your route, Amazon will then expect you to move at that quick pace every time you work even if you’re delivering to apartments or running back and forth across the street from house to house. Also, DO NOT take your 15 minute breaks along with your 30 minute lunch. If you take your 15 minute breaks, even though Amazon offers them to you, Amazon will then accuse you of moving too slow. In a nutshell, Amazon is always looking to make any delivery driver their scapegoat.

Lol..I quit my second day! Oh, don't forget to get your free shoes from zappos. I ordered them on my first day of training.

I’m a FedEx ground driver and there’s a lot of similarities with my job and this one, having to rescue people was my biggest complaint about the job but it really only happened around Christmas. Now that that’s over, I’m doing my own route and not having to help other people ever, I dispatch around 9:30 and get done usually between 1:30-3:30. It’s not a perfect job but I’d rather do it than be stuck in a warehouse working 60 hours a week

I was considered doing an Amazon DSP driver job, but glad I watched this, I have changed my mind!

[fatalframer]

Once I started taking that silly 2 day virtual course, my conscience was sort of telling me “this job ain’t worth it man” and I ended up failing the obstacle truck course on purpose. The driver trainer gave me another chance to pass, but I politely declined and I quit. After watching several of these videos including yours, I did the right thing.

[roberts.]

To put this in perspective: I'm a 12 year garbage man and there are a LOT of similarities between this and a garbage route. Too much to do, not enough time, watched constantly by camera, always having to help others, etc.
Our drivers make $24-$32 an hour and we have a hard time keeping drivers.
Good luck!

Edit and update: As of March 2023, garbage drivers in my area making $28-$35 per hour. Still can't keep drivers, pay still too low for responsibility given and soaring inflation.

I've worked in a dsp for over a year. I rescued a lot in my first month because of nursery routes (sometimes the same people on the same day) and eventually two or three times a month once I got my full route. It's not lazy drivers needing rescues, it's poor coordinated routes given to drivers who take their given breaks. DSPs rely on people to skip breaks to finish routes and avoid returned packages (which lose dsp owners incentives). 90% of the time, It's not the driver's fault they needed a rescue. Something to understand for those watching someone who quit the first day.

But you're right with most other things. Like for example, NOT getting incentives for getting done early. That shit pisses me OFF. I get paid more for being lazy and getting done later.. lmao

Lasted 8 months, and Sunday was my last day. This job is completely inhumane, and any logical person knows it’s not worth their time whatsoever. I ended up finding a new job with great promotions, but I will be making a little less. Now I won’t be physically exhausted all the time, this just takes a major toll on your body is well. They only function because people come and go all the time.

People in these comments taking up for Amazon underpaying is the reason they will always underpay! Some people don’t mind being taking advantage of🤦🏽‍♂️

I just quit as a Amazon Delivery Driver yesterday. I started October 6th, 2020. I lasted 1 year and 4 months. I got my CDL Class A license late November. I start my first trucking job on January 10th of this year.

I'm a newish Amazon DSP driver. But I have a totally different experience. For one we get paid $1 per rescue package we deliver or if I don't take a rescue route I still get paid for 10hr's even if it only took me 7-8hrs. With that said I work for a DSP with just under 100 drivers. Rescues are optional and we get bonuses on top of overtime for working extra days over our normal 40hr 4 day shifts. I love this job, it's easy, pays decent for the state I live in and has all the benefits of working for a big company (insurance, PTO, holiday pay, bonuses, etc...)..

I’m from the UK. I have also just left an Amazon DSP job after only a fortnight.

The job would be ideal, absolutely perfect, if not for the sheer quantity of stops per route. You think a 9 hour slot is plenty of time? Think again.

Starting off with a 65% route, this still entailed 115 stops. Now I’m unsure if this is an issue in the US, but over here we have things called “B roads” - these are tiny narrow roads which can amount to nothing more than a narrow lane through the arsed end of the countryside - and we have to take a 3.5 tonne van miles up them. At pace.

The final straw for me was just about finishing my second 85% route on time (143 stops) having spent half the shift driving up and down roads a small car would have struggled to fit up. Got back to the van yard and realised I’d badly scratched & dented a side panel of the vehicle.

If anyone here is for whatever reason still thinking of becoming a van driver for an Amazon DSP having seen this. Don’t. It’s genuinely, at times, dangerous.

Today Was My First Day . Let Me Tell You Don’t Do It. Experienced my First 10 Hr With No Break & My First Rescue. Not Worth It !!

[imhungry]

I did it for 5 years. I only quit because I'm doing programming now. I loved it. I worked by myself. Had no one constantly overlooking everything I did. I have no complaints at all. I made $27 an hour
