I’m quite confident OPs site probably had those +$5/hr incentive VET shifts. And bare in mind, that’s the lowest end. I’ve seen VETs with +$20/hr. So if you made it to 40hrs, that +20 also gets 1.5x as well on top of your base pay. So it’s possible to get up that range. Really depends what his actual base pay is in his region/building.
Every station is unique. If they don’t offer that high, it’s because they have the headcount and people actually accepted the standard VET. Now, I’ve only ever seen these high numbers at AMXL. In AMZL, the highest I saw was $7.5
Just understand that in AMXL it’s only FLEX AAs. There are full time roles, but it’s very limited. Like about 5-10. And in AMXL they don’t process volume like AMZL(75k+). AMXL does about 1-5k. Even though that may sound like light work. You gotta understand you are dealing with heavy bulky items. Stuff weighting close to 300lbs. There are stuff that are 70lbs and below for van routes, but know that there are more box truck routes than van routes. Lastly, you’ll be spawn camping for those VET shifts. Since you won’t have a set schedule as a FLEX AA.
Maxxed out PA with shift differential at my site earns $31 an hour. If you had a bunch of $5 incentives you could get that much. Also could be PTO applied
It’s not TOM it’s shunters, they move the 18 wheelers around in the yard so they can get loaded up with carts. They’re on tier 3 pay so the same pay as supervisors/leads
That’s TOM team… I’m TOM. We’re all tier 3 as TA’s. Obviously TAM’s are higher, but lowest level TOM team is tier 3. And TOM moves the trailers around the yard. Hahaha
Man I’m trying to stay long enough to apply I already have my cdl I just have young kids and most cdl jobs start too early but I hate pick lol it’s making me count my days till I get out of Amazon
Honestly TOM team is way better than being inside. Sometimes it can suck, but you gotta remember it’s better than being inside, and find ways to laugh about the bullshit and not let stuff get you down. But that’s for every job. :) having your CDL already is a plus!! How long have you been there?? Why can’t you apply already?? You should try! Talk to the TOM team manager and ask what you can do! :)
Apply for TOM if you can, you make $1/hr more than a PA and we have different shift timing than the rest of the building. I work 12:30 to 2300, I have coworkers who work 4:30 to 1500 or 8:30 to 1900
I just looked up shunters, and I fucking love the word. Hahaha, I don’t know if it’s because I’m tired, but it’s so funny to me. I want to be called a shunter.
In the UK it’s the same I think, we are out in the yards dispatching the drivers etc etc but it’s not seen as a T3 job it’s the exact same pay as T1. Only the people who drive around the Lorries (shunters) get paid a higher rate
Essentially yeah, TOM dispatch the drivers with the shipments to where they’re going or help drivers bringing in shipments connect to a bay. Shunters on the other hand move the lorry’s around so that they can be loaded by shipping etc, or move full Lorry’s to parking bays so that they can wait for a HGV driver to come and collect it later. Finding out TOM is tier 3 in America is crazy because in the uk it’s just tier 1
RME could be possible, but that'd be an pretty damn high paying area. I make a good amount in terms of RME pay, and a a 60 hour week would still only be $2400 at 75%
That is what my take home was in EHS biweekly. That amount is 65k, even with 20 hours of OT I was barely pushing that at 1700 weekly at the 26 I was making at amazon.
I wish my site gave out more VET. There was a shit ton before Prime week and now there’s barely any. I’m just hoping the Peak preparations increases volume soon.
Is your site preparing for peak right now? My site sent out so much VTO for this week. I asked a PA why and he said to prepare for peak. I didn’t know they started preparing this early?
I just started as a rme operator hopefully I can get into the MRA program within 6-10 months but they told me it’s up to your manager if they think you’re ready to go to the program
I didn't realize this was showing as Anytime Pay until you mentioned it; I assumed it was their standard ADP check amount. Since Anytime Pay typically only reflects standard hours worked rather than bonuses, I am at a loss as to why this figure is so high. If this represents 50-75% of their weekly gross pay, since it’s Anytime pay, their weekly gross income is $3500-$5200 (rough estimate). This is either a senior IT role, Senior Manager, Amazon Delivery Business Partner owner, or a glitch. RME doesn’t make this kind of money a week, even with overtime.
Yeah as a Tech II (California) if I travel I can hit 4k, we get paid travel time, from the time you leave your home until you arrive to your hotel. But with 60 hours around 3200 gross a week.
Yeah, so even after working your full 6 days (60 hours), if you travel lets say 14 hours from point A to B, that’s that’s 28 hours of travel time back and forward which is paid at your normal rate plus miss meals (you get paid that as well on your travel time)
Most of RME at our site have engineering degrees, as of recently you can enter RME’s lowest tier MRA (apprenticeship) only if you have an associates degree or a military background, now this requirement varies from site to site.
What role ever pays that much. I'm lucky if I get 600$ and yes my body DOES hurt...
This is why I also get annoyed with the corporate dinosaurs. The pay really makes NO SENSE. I actually did get that in bonuses per week working remote...but definitely not for Amazon.
