Only my 4th day working here… mind you, I’ve not once done a role resembling this before

I honestly feel like they be setting people up for failure because how do you anticipate me to do ALLLL of this with the approach the routes are set up, all the moment having to BACKTRACK (Don’t even get me started on the slow GPS either) in x Amount of time? Had so much it was insane 😭😭

It's a problem with the way Amazon does training. The classes don't prepare you at all for the app issues, and your one day of ORE, the driver trainer they assign might not show you how to organize properly. Two recommendations, take it or leave it. 1. Organize your overfl...

Nah I agree but disagree at the same time. When I’m opening a new tote, I only organize the packages until I find the one need for the current stop. During load out try to open 2 totes and organize them if you have space that day. That way you’re starting off strong with you...

Almost every amazon driver has never had a job like this before. It's overwhelming at first and not everyone is cut out to do it. That's ok, It takes a special kind of sicko to make it past training. It does get better and you learn the ropes or you will find out it isn't for ...

Dude don't worry about the clock what matters is your analytics. Do not speed, do not pass stop signs. It's critical your packages get delivered not that you do it in less than 10 hours. If you have great analytics and you work 12 hours they dsp will be happy.
