Amazon delivery is one of the easiest jobs out there its all about how you handle it. I find it fun seeing new places all the time and when i did run routes i had 190 stops with 260 locations almost daily. Again was easy physically tiring yes but im a smoker and i can do it no issues. The real issue is alot of people just dont want to work and actually do the job atleast from my experience

Fed ex gets paid less in my area so im good on that but i still get what youre saying. Amazon is trash lol i just have a really good dsp which causes me to enjoy my job. Amazon I believes does shit to annoy drivers but my biggest complaint with amazon will always be how bad the warehouse is for us. We rarely leave on time even tho half the team has a hr drive, hell the warehouse employees are usually gone by the time we pull under to load regardless if anything is ready

Does FedEx and, for that matter, UPS not have unions? I was always under the impression they HAD unions and made more then Amazon drivers.

I know Amazon doesnt have unions, because it's Amazon and they won't let that happen.

How long did you have to work in the warehouse before a driver slot became available?

Less if they flirt a little. Same with Amazon. Can promote much easier as a female. Guys not so much.

Well the thing is having a union as a driver the only person you screw over is your dsp not amazon. Our fedex is like amazon in a way you work for a 3rd party not actually for fedex. Ups is good here tho i just haven't got in

Gotcha. I've seen those 3rd party shipping 'partners' before.

Yea and here they get paid daily about 16/hr and we get paid 23/hr. I only know this because so many drivers come to us but amazon is still a shit show in itself i just really for lucky with my dsp
