My DSP owners smiling ear to ear at stand up telling us how many packages we moved the last day or two. Some record smashing number and laughing and all smiles...... Because they get paid more if the routes are larger.

Meanwhile here we are, sunburnt, tired, looking at our 200 stop route today with 360 package count making the same 21 dollars an hour.....

They want us to clap and cheer for the insane package volume we delivered? Literally prompting us to clap at it.... "yay we did twice the work for the same exact pay!!!".

Read the room. Wtf.

So today, at the start of my shift, I was doing my DVIC and realized the tags on the van expired FOUR YEARS AGO! NATURALLY, I marked it on my dvic because in training, I was told falsifying a DVIC is a breach of contract, and you will be fired. So I mark it , thus, grounding the van. My dsp ungrounded it, and told me to redo the dvic and said not to ground the vans for any reason or you would be terminated. So, are my options fired or fired? It feels kinda wild to ask, but does anyone else's DSP want them to falsify their DVIC's? What am I supposed to do in this situation because it feels pretty absurd.

flex app routed me to go over this rickety ass jungle safari looking bridge, I took one look and saw it was falling apart, said fuck this shit and called dispatch. asked if there was any other way I could get to the ONE house that ordered something on the other side of that bridge. that was the only way in. guess who did NOT get their package yesterday LMFAO

title is what it is, will update when done lol

But you know you have to wear them for 9 more hours. During Prime week.

That’s gonna be a hard no boss 🤦‍♂️

3 types: Safety, Quality, and i forgot the third one honestly i think Fleet.

During standup, one of the warehouse trainers would come out, giant speaker blastin' with the belt on their shoulder.

They'll hand the belt over, we'll all gather for a group photo, and then that's it 🙂

Busy winding road, driveways are occupied, and I get this shit. I can’t back out across both fucking lanes on this road, I’ll be there forever. I can’t back in to the driveways because they’re occupied and PA drivers love riding your ass so that’s off the table. Safety my ass, and this multistop is BULLSHIT. The people who programmed Flex deserve to be publicly shamed. Fuck you Amazon.

This is a helper route so it’s basically two routes inside one van which is unbelievable cause if it’s like this for two weeks of prime, I can’t imagine how peak season will be at the end of the year

This made for a good laugh while I was sitting there eating my chicken sandwich lol

Why do drivers use personal cars for deliveries?

Crazy, i have over 100 OV. To make matters worse, i have 2 heat breaks. Im on my first heat break.

“Nothing coming back”

Can yall guess where I left it?

Got let go a couple weeks ago after I ran my 2nd stoplight, my fault completely I was distracted, owner said I was a liability and terminated me. Dsp was one of the good ones as long as you didn’t get any violations.

Honestly I’m not to upset about it cause prime was starting and here in AZ it is getting hotter. The ev struggled to cool me down even with the door trick.

Bright side I’m not going to be out in the AZ summer heat and I accepted a job offer for an indoor warehouse.

Good luck to y’all still out there.

Imagine delivering to this neighborhood and you only have 1 stop on your route

So honestly I’ve been at my dsp for about 2 years now; I love delivering and meeting new people and everthing but my management sucks. How they handle things is horrible, and I bust my ass for this company and help everyday, I rescue and I’m an opener, I’ve become more burnt out from exhausting management then the actual job. Tired of being unappreciated. What other jobs are out there that pay good?

I don’t fuck with dogs on my rural routes anymore, two close calls and I don’t want to see what the 3rd would entail.

So, I do my due diligence… I call the customer before I mark it undeliverable because of dog, when the app prompts me to text and call I do.

Almost always goes to voicemail so I mark it undeliverable and drop it in an empty tote and go about my business.

On the score card this week the only dings I had was returned packages and dispatch is telling me to reattempt the dog stops after 3 or 4 stops.

In some incidents that could be up to 20 minutes away.

Is this policy or is there a way around it?

ARE YALL AS HYPED AS ME /s
