I’m not even mad….
Did my route out of order to get a better flow and ended up finishing rather early. Disbatch mentioned I could go home but I volunteered to rescue two fellow drivers for the extra cash and sI learnedl managed to get done at a decent time. All people I talk to hates to rescue but I truthfully enjoy it because I get extra funds in my pocket. What about you guys?

Unfortunately rescuing is mandatory at my company and don't get paid extra.
Run your route smarter and make it so you dont have time in the allotted 10 hours to rescue anybody
Gross
Mine too
recently my dispatch has been using me as a floater/sweeper so I just do rescues all day and sometimes I finish a few hours early and still get a full shift of pay
See I wouldn’t mind this but if I’m rescuing all day and do more than like 180 stops or something I’m definitely gonna want extra pay.
I only every get asked to rescue if I’m only at like 6 to 7 hours so I always accept it because i want my full 10
How much extra? Im guaranteed 10 no mater what time I finish and dont get extra for rescue so I try to get the fuck out ASAP
My Disbatch does $15 for every 15 stops you take. But if you take less than 15 you don’t get the extra pay. So if I take 20 stops I get $15 but if I take 30 I get $30. And I get the guaranteed 10 hours but I tend to work more than 10 hours a day because of rescues or just hel...
But they are taxed more bc its considered a bonus
I wouldn’t want to rescue without extra pay though that sucks
Well when you have to do it everyday with no choice or extra pay it’s pretty fucking dogshit
This I get, but at my station everyone hates to rescue even though there’s bonus pay.
I rescued everyday the first three months. Now I haven't really rescued much. Also don't get rescued much.
Don't work for a dsp without guaranteed 10 hours
We get guaranteed 10 hours
F that
no guaranteed 10 hours here but a min 7 to 9 depending on pay scale and an extra $1 per stop beyond your route.
I wish we did an extra $1 per stop. I don’t know how many times I pickup a tote that ends up being over 20 stops but under 30 and I either have to take more or take the L 🫠
luckily my dsp said they don't make it mandatory, it's volunteer only i start proper training this week
So you’re brand new? Because if you are, just a heads up - they may say that now but there might be a time when they actually need it and don’t really give you a choice… But I could be wrong.
I don't care at all about doing rescues. I'm scheduled for 10 hours, so I plan on being at work for about that long. Sometimes I get to go home early, and it's nice, but I don't expect it or feel entitled to it. This is with a 40 hour guarantee at my DSP. My current route has...
Rescuing is optional at my DSP but we’re lucky because the whole team is made up of really awesome ppl who are happy to help. I personally like rescuing especially now that the days are longer
Too bad for u fcked up the algorithm and so now in the future Amazon will give u more stops n packages or increase distance between stops because AI/algorithm program thinks that they had given u too easy of a route.
I always have close to 200 stops. Sometimes I get rescued sometimes I am rescuing. It is what it is I guess.
I get to barley finish my route 15-20 minutes early and get a call 30 seconds later that I need to take only 10 stops from someone who is a 15 minute drive from me , and I don't get extra money for helping no no I get less money iff I don't help 🙃
228 stops god damn
Pretty standard. Some of our top players had close to 300 in a day. But houses are faster. Then again. I watched four dsps dissolve in less then 9 months.. so there was other work afoot during those times. Where I was at

Good soldier :)
We have mandatory rescues at my DSP (not paid per rescue) and tbh I don't mind it. It's nice to do when I finish early (also no 10 hour guarantee pay), but I also like to feel like I'm helping my coworkers get home earlier if they're struggling and I can rely on them to help m...
I feel that.
Have you ever thought that coworkers are trying to actually get their 10 hours and that you are just taking that away from them by finishing early and rescuing?
I don't mind doing rescues to be honest but some days I just take it slow and co okete my ten hours other days like yesterday I did 4 rescues, for some reason I do rescues faster than my route
I feel that. It’s less overwhelming with only a couple bags and few overflow. Makes it easier to process in my mind.
My dsp says rescues are mandatory so I started taking all my breaks lmao, it’s like the opposite of a reward for doing a good job and finishing your work early
Sometimes we have to at my DSP but if you volunteer they tend to always give you the option versus make you (at my DSP at least).
I’ve just started at the beginning of last month. Rescues aren’t mandatory so I haven’t picked one up yet. I just haven’t had the energy for the extra work tbh lolll
I don’t blame you. When you first start it is definitely an exhausting job, and even still can be on bad days.
No clue since i never had that job bob
Rescues are mandatory no extra pay. I have a route in the middle of nowhere so if I get done early I don't have rescues but i typically don't mind. First paid hourly so there's that and I get along with 99.999% of the other drivers I work with. I'll give dispatch a hard time j...
Uk DSP driver , we get £1 per parcel on rescues, (gets subtracted from person getting rescued's day rate), i have been cleaning up for months, but im burnt out now.. doing 4 days a week for 2 months 2 recharge.
You should be. If everybody spoke out maybe shit would change.
I refuse to rescue. I get the full 10 hr pay if I work 4 or 10 hours so I hustle but never rescue.
Shut up
