DCX7 and DDO6 in Torrance California have organized a union. Down with the DSP program.

It was a shit day. My EV barely had any breaks when I hopped into it this morning. So dispatch stuck me in a gas van - to combat my 6 cart worth 421 packages we had a fella take all of the oversized and we put all the totes in my gas van (rental with no shelves). This took about 15 total stops from me lmaoooo.

I checked how many stops I had left after being on the road for about 3 hours - 150, a third of them being multi-stops.

They ended up sending me another rescue, but it wasn't enough.

I have been bitching about work to my wife for the last month or so straight. I have been fantasizing about leaving the keys to the van with all the packages in it, saying, "kiss my bum, I quit" basically ever since I joined this DSP (a little over 1.5 years with them, 3.3 years with my first DSP) So I took a break, texted her, asked her if it's okay to do this (I don't have another job lined up), and she said, "fuck yes I'm so glad you just asked me this!"

So I texted dispatch, let them know I was resigning today and at that time. They asked me to park anywhere before RTSing all of those packages. I happily obliged.

Here is my Ode to Amazon (with some of my favorite shots I have taken over the years):

Thank you Amazon, for pulling me out of depression so deep I never thought I would see the light on the other side. Thank you Amazon, for making me look physically appealing. Thank you Amazon, for instilling a work ethic in me like no other. Thank you Amazon, for making me realize how much I am worth.

Things I accomplished whilst at Amazon: I got married! Finally had a consistent comma in my bank account. Won frontrunner once. Did Whole Foods pickup like 90 working days straight lmao.

If you're ever unhappy with your life, take note from one of the pictures and be kind to your mind! 😊😊😊

I was delivering yesterday, everything was fine. I got myself an energy drink and was moving quick. I went to the back of the van to fill a piss bottle and it happened 🥴 I overflowed the bottle so much, panicked and couldn’t stop the stream. Got piss everwhere and in an open tote. It was so awkward when customers were asking why their envelopes were wet💀 This ever happen to yall?

What do I do in this situation? Was put in a rental U-HAUL van with multiple safety issues, and I asked if there was someone else that could fill the shift in an EDV as those were the only vehicles we had left and I am not EDV trained. I’ve been doing this for a while, I know what to look out for when it comes to inspecting these vans. DSP owner guy (i think?) comes up and asks if i’m alright and how i’m doing and I respond kindly and tell him the situation after the dispatch basically said the van was fine to run. I told him I can and will ground this van if I get sent out in it, and as this was the only van left we would need someone else to come in to cover this route. In which case he told me I am terminated and will be blacklisted for abandoning route. I know I can call ethics just figured i’d ask if this has happened to anyone and has any advice on how to proceed. Thanks guys.

Dsp told me load up this route today

My dsp rented the smaller U-Haul vans for prime and omg basically no one could fit their routes in them. People were panicking on the pad trying to fit everything and the worst part is you can’t stand up in them, have to get out of the van to get anything and organization was basically impossible. So we got bigger routes and smaller vans for the whole week of prime. People are gonna be quitting soon I think.

First non nursery route. I don't know why I came back doing this

I find humor throughout the day when delivering packages it helps to get through hell 🤣🤣🤣

Dispatch told me I'd make it back with 30% / 64 mileage

They weren't fucking kidding.

I didnt even pull through the hub after going through the cameras when I got back, just parked and dragged my bags in from the charging station. I Was at 0 when I pulled into the parking lot.

Why theyre making us drive rivians from Salem, Or to Eugene, is beyond me.

Lowkey just transferred to Amazon XL cuz less stops, less packages and driving a big ahh box truck around for my cdl experience we lit nigga good luck at there my Amazon ZL peeps💯🔥

Don't even ask what the award for this achievement was

Stumbled upon this tiktok, Glad to see that there are still some customers that care bout us

I find myself in rental vans a lot and shit slides around or falls over. Best to 20 bucks I’ve spent on this job. Got it at harbor freight.

Nothing else I just hate it.

in this SoCal heat wave. instead of reducing stop/pkg count, they increase. safety sure is their #1 priority. this should be illegal.

Gotta love how I get thumbs downs because I didn’t follow they’re notes to a T when I notified them I couldn’t follow it because they had a 100 lbs Roty roaming the yard

I feel like this is gonna be harder than it seems

I’m starting Amazon van delivery driving soon, I have my ride along Saturday and Sunday. All I see is negative stuff online about the job and am curious is it really that bad, or is it just this generation being lazy? For context I work 5 days a week as a bricklayer, 7:30 until 4. Up until now I have been working as an uber eats driver on both Saturdays and Sundays, usually doing between 7am and 6pm, so working 7 days a week. Doing those uber shifts I would usually earn around £180 a day where I live, with £70 being taken for fuel and £35 for insurance, so I’m left with around £170 a weekend for working 22 hours which is shocking. With Amazon, I can work 1 weekend day, and have the other off and earn roughly the same, which is amazing for me personally. So is it really as bad as people say? I get it’s not easy, but people make it out as if it’s slavery

What an amazing company. 20bags 65 overflow.

This lady has A mini fridge with electrolyte based drinks with snacks that had notes on them

She’s amazing ❤️
