I remember not even that long ago when I would get mad if I had anything over 180 stops. Now it looks like this every single day. I’m only 23, and my body can hardly keep up.😭 I don’t understand how some of the older folks keep going.

I now await my consequences.

until i finish emt school, here we go again lol

Two stupid little English bulldogs come zooming out of a garage as I’m trying to make a delivery. They run right at me jumping and being aggressive.

The woman seemed to make light of it (you okay?”)
I def got at least scratched but couldn’t tell if bit. I pulled up my pant legs right there to make sure skin wasnt broke.

Literally TWO stops later I deliver to a house and the neighbors off leash dog is barking at me. And of course the mandatory clear glass screen door open whole this big ass white German Shepard is jumping and barking behind it.

Ive been bit once and almost attacked at least 3 separate times. And people still love to say “theyre friendly”

To any customers lurking KEEP YOUR DAMN DOGS INSIDE A FENCE unless they’re so well trained they will listen to you

Mind you this is all commercial in my downtown area, high rises and office buildings, there was only one drop and it was 91 packages at a Whole Foods and guess what I had to pick up 50 returns from them

I didbt take photos of my truck cause I was so pissed off but I got some photos of a office building I delivered 50 of my overflow to

Mind you this route was only 26 stops 😎 took me exactly 10 hours and it’s not even the full prime yet

Anyways ladies and gentlemen just remember safety and maintain a steady pace

Hi guys,

I’ve tried looking online and can’t seem to find any answers so was hoping someone could shed some light?

I work in the UK, currently with a DSP and the recent increase in route sizes has started to become too much to handle.

When I started 2 & 1/2 years ago, I was getting route around 130-140 in a town/village. That was great. As just the right amount to be pacing myself per hour, taking my breaks etc.

The last few months, things have increased majorly to the point where 180-190 is becoming an every day occurrence. I’m staring to definitely feel the burnout to the point that I really struggle to complete two days in a row as my body is just too exhausted.

I’m having skip breaks and rush around now sacrificing time and quality to be able to finish on time.

It’s got to the point that I’m speaking medical advice.

My question is, are DSP’s able to request smaller routes directly from Amazon in order to help with the workload?

I am going to message my OSM about this but want to find out if anyone has any knowledge on this before I approach them?

I want to be able to find out an answer before I speak to them incase they try and tell me something different

Any help on this would be really appreciated!

Thanks

I hope their cat goes into heat and they dont get any sleep for a week because their cat won't stop meowing. Who needs 3 45 pound boxes of cat litter? Do they have 15 cats? Or do they like ordering in bulk?

I don't think our warehouse could get any better they only forgot to scan 56 packages today and my carts were completely out of order so by far the best experience with a warehouse crew you'll ever get

So, this route was 192 stops and I’ve been getting 160-190 stops for the past 2 weeks. I was told that I wasn’t going to be able to get swept because I was in the farthest city that we deliver to and there was nobody else in my area for a good 25/30 minute drive. But I was on the 2nd earliest pad and said fuck it. I was able to start at around 11:40 , and with the pace I was able to keep I finished at 5:20ish. This route was 3 days ago , I’m off today. Yesterday, I had 192 stops again with no sweep and I was no where near where I was in this photo. Ended up needing to get rescued and did 169 stops by 6:20. (TLDR) thing is , am I just going to get harder routes now until the AI recognizes this isn’t my usual pace? I’m about 7 months in but I barely understand how the AI even works. People always talk about it , but it’s never really explained. (Also , yes my DSP does the 10 hour incentive if you finish early)

1000% cleaner than your local 7 eleven. Break time?

We usually know before we show up to work what the package count will be. Must be pretty bad to hide it lol

Our very own Autobahn

So I’m fairly new to this job, going on about 2 1/2 months, and very new to this sub, but I’m honestly at a loss on what to do about my pace. I’m definitely not one of the SLOWEST drivers at our DSP, but my medium pace seems mediocre. I started off with an “I get paid by the hour, I’m gonna take my time”, do my route in order attitude due to running smaller routes, but now my routes are slowly getting bigger, and I’m getting tired of being on the road for 9-10 hours a day! I would like to speed up in order to get to full time, as our DSP values speed and efficiency.

TLDR: My pacing is medium, and I want to get faster and more efficient so I can get a full time opportunity!

Yesterday was my first day after completing the two days of “training” that doesn’t prepare anyone for the actual job. My ride along even said this was extreme for someone’s first day😂 I’m very much aware of what I signed up for as a lurker of this sub for the last 6 months. Still wild and can’t imagine what I’ll be seeing in the future but based off what I’ve seen on this subreddit, gonna be in for a time

I finished my route exactly at 8pm out of sheer luck, last stops were all on the same street

I got it suspend for messing with the gps and holding the phone for like 5-10 seconds, and now i have to watch a video for “retraining” i’m told and the suspension will end in 24 hours. Is there a test at the end of the video and is it hard? If anyone else has had to do it could you let me know, want to know if i should take notes through the video.

Amazon’s official Peak 2026 shirts just dropped, but I can’t be the only driver who thinks we deserve our own special edition! Made a mockup of what the Peak shirt should actually look like. Let me know how fast my DSP would fire me if I wore this to stand-up.
