Peak Season Loadout at Amazon

Publicado 2021-12-24
It's the Monday before Christmas and Amazon delivery drivers are loading their vans with packages. Most of the loads are heavier during peak season than any other time of year. Drivers must organize their vans so packages are easy to find. Each driver organizes their delivery vans differently, and this video shows how many do it during the busiest time of year.

At our station the drivers have only about 14 minutes to load their van after pulling in. This adds an extra element to organizing their van while under time pressure to finish quickly. You will see dispatchers and drivers help each other to load, which makes it possible to get everyone out on time.

  • It's crazy how the delivery drivers have to load their own van before they go out on their route, the vans should be already loaded by time the drivers clock in for their shift , having an already loaded van would make the deliveries go much quicker , the drivers shouldn't be made to load their own vehicle cause they need to save the energy for when they're going to and from the houses.

    As someone who orders with Amazon Prime, I just want to say I appreciate and thank you to all the hardwork you guys do. It does seems like a really hectic difficult job. Thanks for what you do.

    Fascinating to see how this is done. My son started out as a peak season sorter but has now gone full-time. He's tried to explain this process to me, but it's cool to actually see it being done. Definitely a team effort.
  • I love how realistic your videos are they show everything to the tee.

    I see this and im glad I work for myself. Good job for all the people doing this labor❤🙏💪
  • 400 packages 298 stops.. did Amazon for about 2 years in LA (temple city Amazon facility) and let me tell you.. crazy. Amazon is like bootcamp, if you can handle Amazon and maybe have a little panic attack a few times within 2 years, u can do FEDEX UPS USPS etc etc. FedEx and UPS, only thing is you got HEAVY FUCKING SHIT. Amazon not so much, neither usps. So just a heads up if anyone wants to do this. I would say personally for anyone who’s jumping in the delivery industry, do Amazon first. It truly teaches you how to handle BS and shit that doesn’t make sense for ONE person to do in a matter of 6-7 hours. If you work through your lunches, trust me, I did the same thing for 2 years. And piss in a bottle inside ur van? Did that too. Now I’m at a FedEx and damn. No wonder they walk, I’ve never seen stops more than 150 but packages WEIGH A SHIT TON. Anyways, hopefully this helps anyone. Finally leaving the delivery industry and going into marketing but.. it was the best experience I’ve had to make you deal with hectic situations at all times. Peace and love y’all ❤️

    Man my fifth days as Amazon driver they already gave me 175 stops residential plus apartment. Without rescue. I never get my nursery route it sucks. I lost almost 10lbs just from that days 😂😂. It’s fun though. Now it’s not that much I kinda missed it.

    Our warehouse doesn't give us pick sheets anymore. We have to go to our itinerary on our Rabbit and write down the sorting zones on our own pieces of paper. It slows us down!
  • @bigshot5433
    23 totes and 6 small overflow. 352 total, 182 stops
  • @neola9701
    I also order with Amazon Prime, I used to not like Amazon drivers with my packages. Now I see what goes on behind the scenes. Lot of hard work. Thank you for all you all do
  • @fyrerayne8882
    Do bottom row vertical, top row on the shelf horizontal stacked 2 high. Put your first 2 totes on the floor in front of the sliding door. This way you can have more space for the overflow and the bags won’t be falling over when you take turns in the van.

    Must be nice having all that help. They make us pretty much do everything. Also our carts aren’t prepared outside like that we have to waste more time grabbing them from inside. And the drivers grab the carts themselves no one else helps. And drivers helping other drivers is basically optional. I’ve learned to stop helping others and focus on myself because no one has ever helped me. I use that extra time to break down my first bag for my first stop

    5:02 everyone really does this different. The team calling zone numbers for oversized clearly has a system, I like it.
