Working As An Amazon Delivery Driver

It starts to suck when you have to make above 160 stops. Keep in mind of the weather, most Drivers don’t even take their breaks. Organizing your packages greatly helps you. Business stops and apartment stops slow you down drastically.

Amazon doesn't directly hire its drivers not only to cut down on operating costs but to prevent the drivers from unionizing like UPS

Appreciate this video. I wouldn’t recommend this job to anyone. 190 stops a day is brutal. Mad respect to the people that can do this on a daily basis. It’s just not for me.

I used to do that and let me tell you. It sucks so bad. They don’t pay the Amazon delivery drivers enough to handle all the package BS.

Just hired in. The two day teaining was done with an actual trainer going thru the vids. Two weeks in and im still on nursery routes but im handling 130 stops a day. I figured out amazon will pay your full tuition for a CDL class, so 90 days in and im immediately going to apply for that.

Used to be a janitor at amazon warehouse and about 70% of the drivers piss in bottles! We just started double bagging driver trash cans to avoid any spills!

Hey man old delivery driver here I would recommend putting a folded tote in the passenger seat to put the envelopes and smaller packages on top. just makes it a little faster

For those complaining, you don’t need to worry about those jobs in the near future. Ai and robots will do them for you. You’ll have self driving cars with robots in them to deliver the packages 24hrs a day with no complaints. I like that, no job to complain about.

There are no Pros even at 21.00 an hour😂. I don't know how I did it for almost 4 years but dropped my last route. Never looked back😅.

I just got hired n have my 3 days of training start next week. Very informative vid.

God bless our hard working youth. I know the work sucks but men and women like you keep the world moving. Good luck on your next endeavor.

You should work for Pizza Hut or dominos as a delivery driver. You get to keep tips and the work is heck of a lot easier than Amazon plus you make around 20 an hour plus tips . Thanks for sharing!

I’m a broke 21 year old college student. I got offered an interview for this job and I’m kinda desperate for a job. It’s $21 an hour. My family is buying a new house and when we move there, I have to help out with bills which I don’t mind. I also have to get my dad’s minivan fixed up after getting it dented and scratched. I also need money for whenever I’m at my college campus. I live in nyc and right now the weather is humid since it’s summer. But I’m really desperate and barely have any options so I guess I’ll give this a shot until I figure something out.

Very nicely done video and so much respect for you guys. What you do every day.

I have a friend whose son is working at Amazon while going to college part time. He is working like 55-60 hours a week since they are short staffed in the Orlando area, and he told me that his son said that 90% of the workforce there refuse to work past 40 hours. Once they hit that, they stop and leave, ditching routes and all, leaving his son and a few others to finish them. But they won’t terminate the other drivers because they’re tenured, and they are already short staffed…..

I don’t order stuff from Amazon for this reason. I feel like I’m contributing to human suffering when I do.

For comparison, I'm a home health nurse (visiting RN at home) and our productivity is visiting 5 patients a day in their home including driving and charting. I make about base 130000 to 140000K a year. My son had to see his pediatrician at Kaiser clinic for emergency (last call appointment). When I saw the MD computer screen, my son was that 18th patient seen by MD (at 4:45 PM and they close at 5 PM). The Kaiser pediatrician resigned with 1.5 to 2 years but when I looked up their base salary it was about 225000 to 250000 which is double to triple RN income. But they have to see 15 to 20 patients. And amazon drivers need to drop 210 to 230 packages at >200 houses for minimum wage. Go to school and learn some trade.

😂😂 good luck bro i know the feeling. Stay hydrated and look out for yourself

Not enough pay for the work! You work as hard as UPS if not harder and faster and don’t even get half the pay.! We did rescues on top of that 200 + stops! This job is only met to be a summer job. No room to move up it’s a dead end job. This job is for people that have a mindset that this is the best I can do.

i use to work for kroger and we would have about 12-18 stops very spread out and driving for 8-10 hours plus was so mentally exhausting when i got home. And the repetitve daily part of the job drove me crazy
