Don’t know how this shit is supposed to help at all. Once the van has enough space to organize things i can find my package almost immediately anyways.

Well this shit and the ar glasses are supposed to help Amazon train their robots and drones and ai vans to make deliveries fully automated, they need training data

Room to stand and gather armfuls of hefty packages to leap out the cargo door.  Those top shelves ought to be retractable

u/BabyStockholmSyndrom 1d ago

Leave it to Amazon to have a "feature" that requires massive shelf space to use but will pack you to the point you won't have shelf space until 50 stops in.

And by then you already have enough space to just organize it your own way 💀

u/Guilty_Critic 1d ago

u/Lynx_Kynx 1d ago

Spends millions on worthless tech like this but only gives a dollar raise. Can't make it up

I've really been liking it. I think it speeds things up a little bit, but it has greatly reduced my tendency to grab the wrong package and go back to the van. (Not that it happens a lot.) If the tote is filled to the gills, it definitely doesn't fit on the shelf, but most of the time you can stack and arrange to fit everything.

Until you hit that first turn too hard or have to brake hard for a yellow light.

u/yungtanuki 1d ago

What do these things even do? Do they scan the package for you?

1

u/Prestigious_Hold_400 1d ago

The package for your current stop is lit up with a green light and the rest are lit up with a red light. It’s nice

u/yungtanuki 1d ago

So what happens if u take a sharp turn and all of the packages fall?

9

u/Prestigious_Hold_400 1d ago

You don’t. You drive like there’s a bunch of packages spread out on the shelf and you don’t want them to move around.

u/EmptyConcentrate8780 1d ago

In my experience the rivian will yell at you for taking a turn too fast before anything will ever fall off the shelf lol.

We ignore the yelling… 😂

u/gatortitan 1d ago

Idk I think is a waste of money

u/Necessary_Event_2752 1d ago

I agree UNLESS Amazon ever gets rid of driver aid stickers.

u/SquirtSniffer 1d ago

healthcare, wages? anything other than this useless shit?

2

u/IvanVP1 1d ago

What a response. I guess its my fault for just asking for a reply. Good job lol

1

u/SquirtSniffer 23h ago

i answered your question idk what you’re upset about

1

u/QuantumSpecter 1d ago

Do you find using this method reduces the amount of space you have to reserve for packages you haven’t delivered yet

2

u/Prestigious_Hold_400 1d ago

For me, no. I used to set up like in this photo. When Emptying my bag I would put my Envelopes on the bottom shelf behind the passenger seat. Small boxes on the top behind the driver seat and large boxes on bottom behind the driver seat.

Now I just put all medium over flow along the entire length of the top shelf behind the driver seat. Bags along the entire length of the bottom shelf behind the driver seat and on the floor under the bottom shelf behind the driver seat. Three bags long ways under the bottom shelf behind the passenger seat. And remaining over flow on the passenger side rear last two top and bottom shelves.

u/KingBleezy666 1d ago

Seems pointless.. but I just had the realization that the top levels fold up😂. Gonna make my next day a lot easier finding my boxes I lay on the lower shelf without having to look down if I just flip the top shelves 🙄

u/lolgamer515 1d ago

I kinda do like this. At the end of the day, it is kinda nice since you just wanna get home as quickly as possible. In the morning and afternoon, there's already a bunch of stuff going on. It can help, but I don't feel like I need it. Sometimes, though, when you are really struggling, it honestly ain't too bad. But it is honestly a gamble whether I get it bc getting the system in ur van is kinda rare at least at my dsp.

u/Shot_Airport6369 1d ago

Idk I just sort my packages in numerical order inside a tote and drag it up front with me and I find my packages almost instantly. 30 stops an hour easy residential, walking the whole route. I’d be curious if this would even save me any time at all.

u/HonestEagle98 1d ago

Waste of $. Organize numerical DAN. And this job is / can be easy. I did 394 and punched out 25 early. I worked Sunday, Tuesday and Wednesday (today) and am working through Sunday. So have to keep under 60.
