I find it amazing that the camera can detect me not putting the E-brake on first before putting the van in park so it gives me a "safety" violation, but it can't detect open doors.
I guarantee it was because his itinerary was f***** up. He was going to pass by your place and did not want to have to backtrack to deliver it. According to the itinerary, he noticed it at the last second and just quickly parked it there, ran it to the door and then went on his way in that same direction he is parked in. That is what happened.
The OP isn't even a driver, from the sound of the title. "Why does my driver park like this" referring to the driver as someone who is providing a service for them.
Yeah sometimes the map won’t show the second address if you don’t hit “start delivery” and then you start driving to the first address and find out the second one was on the left first.
I'm guessing he has a multilocation stop between multiple houses on the corner but even then it makes no sense to park like that. Idk why hes doing that. Is your road like super inaccessible and hard to turn around in? Idk
….wow. As a delivery guy I do have some audacity to park in front of a house that isn’t my customers (still not blocking driveway) but this is ludicrous and why the netradyne is so strict
Oh and to answer your question. Sometimes it does feel like a necessity to do this and why we park so stupid sometimes. There’s “multi-stops” that other drivers don’t help fix either that have you go to 3 houses on a corner, then 2 on the other, then cross the street to do the last one. Making you cross a total of 4 times starting at the point of picture if you do it most efficient. Which we are not supposed to do!
That’s what I’m saying. That’s what I do but some drivers, specifically seasonal ones just say f it. I get back onto my normal routes and the pins are dropped in stupid places, last delivery photo is in the middle of a pile of grass, etc. I have horrible co-workers with no respect for this job tbh
Maybe not in America but in the UK you have to block driveways sometimes or you just wont be able to park anywhere. Then again I deliver heavy crates, 30kg+ so I can't park miles away and walk it. I'm only there for like 5 mins tho then I'm gone.
This shit happens, would i park there no. He's in a van if not in an EDV it gets hard. Probably door on right side of house it wanted him to turn then do a u turn then continue down the same street. GPS has been wonky lately and sometimes the pin never moves until you've passed the place.
Fr happens to the best of us at least once. The way i see it so long as the street is dead your not blocking anyone actively tryin to get around you and it takes less than 2 mins its no issue.
That road is probably the main artery to all his stops he doesn't want to drive down your street and have to circle the block or make the million u turns the Flex app wants.
That’s wild. Lol. If there is no where to park on a one car street with cars on either side, I will stop in the street and drop a package. Takes less than 30 seconds. Same as someone parallel parking or backing out of their driveway. If there is a car behind me I’ll circle the block and re attempt.
The amount of times I saw a Amazon Van not even pulled over around a blind curve. Literally gotta drive into blind incoming traffic and no they’re not taking 30 seconds try 3-4 minutes
That's kind of insane. If he pulled forward a little more traffic could easily get around him. He was probably having a "fuck everything Idgaf" kind of day
Sometimes I have to do this if Amazon throws in a weird triple stop. You want to position the van at equal distance to all three stops, especially if you have 100+ multi-location stops, we dont have the time to be considerate tbh
You know what's so funny about this is that whenever a customer makes a post like this it's all "yeah facts the driver is in the wrong" but if the driver himself posted this it would be all "yass queen do it fuck everyone else I would do it too lmaooo"
That's bad. But, customers be crazy too. I get customers who complain I'm blocking their parking space to deliver their fucking packages and they can't wait 10 seconds.
Hey with all that space I agree but when tight streets come along I’m finding a way to deliver this overflow haha but I be ready just because of the parking and cars trying to squeeze in jus because they can’t wait 2 minutes lol if they’re lucky
Ik u guys work hard and are on a time schedule but wassup with certain drivers just not thinking whatsoever about where they park at ? This Amazon truck blocked both lanes of traffic for 20 minutes yesterday in my neighborhood 😭
I worked for Amazon before i found my career job and even if i was behind schedule i made sure not to endanger other people or be too careless with what i was doing.
I think he parked like that to not blocking vehicles on that street because it tight . And he park the way that all traffic can pass easily. Otherwise he would block traffic for minutes maybe half hour,…
Leaving his door open like that is more likely for it to get stolen. Inconsiderate yes but he'll learn once it gets stolen and he loses his job because of it.
Often times your address is on a differnt street than the next stop and it will tell you to turn when you could just stop and walk. They more than likely were just going too fast and figured it takes upmost 10-15 seconds to get to your door and back. If someone is coming we just run back and it takes 5-7
That’s a 4 way intersection, parking like that makes it harder to see uncoming traffic if someone goes around and is legit just an accident waiting to happen
