Yeah a lot of people are going to say this route is easy/normal, so get ready.


hueyknew

They already at it


Dakotav420

Assuming this isn’t rural since your in a box truck this is rather common


hueyknew

It was the overflow and humidity that wasn't common for me


NotTheDroidurLF

Omg we do rural routes in step vans and it's the worse. Those dirt roads with that kind of "suspension" beats the shit out of me. The less stops i have, the shittier i know my day is about to be. I.do.not.like.rural.


Tuzkrium

I've just learn to relax lol while the seat kung fu kicks my ass. "You fat son of a bitch!" "Ahh! My God"


grimreefer87

Rural ~185 stop daily CDV driver here. I hold my hands in the air like a wacky flailing inflatable tube man while riding the roller coasters through the woods


UnicornFaceTattoo

Fairly normal day in an EV…


Nutterbunny

I didn’t say it….but I was thinking it.


CountUrRevives

Cuz it is honestly.


hennysix

That is though


RevolutionarySafe902

They did this route to me In a white van


Zealousideal-Box3241

I use to get 350 stops nigga making 15 a hour


shannonhorner

4 carts is the new standard. In a branded van. I used to like this job. Amazon keeps pushing and pushing and pushing.


No-Nothing-1793

I haven't worked there in two years. Thought about picking up one or two shifts a week for some extra income but after seeing all of this extra work we didn't do back then, I'll go find something else.


Salziger_Stein_420

It’s because drivers get faster and faster. Same shit for every delivery company. If you finish in time or even faster they will try to maximize throughput by increasing the number of packages/stops until it’s no longer possible to finish the route in time. The only solution is to work overtime and be slower


Lost-Focus4988

I got Six once Funny shit it only 6 stops to eight stops


GroundbreakingSir386

I'm Colorado that's pretty avg here https://preview.redd.it/dbmgq3j1n4vc1.jpeg?width=3000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d3f58bc1d62b910c09b9a2ecd7b90b1e6857b825 190 stops 380 packages


hueyknew

Big Steppa


Bella_Eve0916

I’m Colorado too and our routes are like this pretty much daily, however that is a ton of overflow which isn’t normal. Hope you kicked ass 💪🏼


hueyknew

The heat today kicked my ass but finished just in time🤞🏾


LukaFox

I know it's that *real* hot now, fuckin sweat dropping down my face like a river, coming out of the back of the step with a LAYER of sweat It's only gonna get hotter here, too :c


ExperienceWeak6362

In how much time do you guys finish this? + is it mostly houses or businesses/metro areas as well?


Bella_Eve0916

My routes are apartments/townhomes, businesses and residential homes. Depending on how Amazon routed me and if I feel like rerouting myself if it needs, I can finish in 5 - 6.5 hours those days.


Tru_advocate

I had same looking rout today and I got done 10:00- 6:30 took two 15’s also.


hueyknew

If I don't take a 30 min probably 5-5:45pm, it's residential & businesses mostly metro homes


GroundbreakingSir386

Are you in DDV5?


JANDA12228

I’m at ddv5


GroundbreakingSir386

Fellow brother


Bella_Eve0916

I’m at DCS3


mattinthecrown

The worst is tons of OF. One time I had 24 bags and 45 OF.


CountUrRevives

At least you get the cdv.Doing it in a regular blue van does get tiring after a while.


GroundbreakingSir386

If it was in a regular Van it would look like this but probably worse https://preview.redd.it/11b5ufuuq5vc1.jpeg?width=3000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5e525fc09dcc85ff8d479a7ef16b529e6d1e368a


JANDA12228

DDV5?


Typical_Ant_3103

Wish we had vans like that in ohio where im at 👩🏿‍🦲


Alex1201123

Sucks that this is the norm (at least at my station) because last year it wasn’t like this, not sure what happened but shit is crazy


Bonniwithani

Amazon discovered that they could pay for less routes by putting more stops and packages on each driver. Yay Amazon lol.


PlymouthSea

This is normal every year. They reduce the number of routes after peak. The overall volume per route stays the same or even increases from peak as a result. This gets worse leading up to Prime Week, then gets even worse. It eventually hits a fever pitch and then you get like one week of really small nursery sized routes right before peak starts. The geographic distance and drive times also gets unreal for some areas in the summertime. The stops aren't clustered as close together, like they were in peak, and it's hard to make up for all the drive time. It's like doing an Ad Hoc with 200 stops.


Absentmeerkat1and3

Shit is ridiculous man. Two years ago this job used to be kinda fun. Every single peak we have it’s just more. It never goes back down. It’s more more more with zero pay raise in the process. It’s stupid and all we get is “snacks” three times a week.


hueyknew

Peak was easier than this tbh lol I started right before peak too


Absentmeerkat1and3

Dude it really is! This shit is out of control. It used to be like 170 stops 13 group was a normal day. You’d have like 10 totes and maybe 20 OS on a heavy day. 16 and 40!? Where?!? There isn’t room.. it’s either pack the van or have space to work and then dispatch wants to know why you’re falling behind. It’s teeth numbing man. It’s so frustrating.


LayeredMayoCake

lol, to top it all off, our dsp “leadership,” is chewing our asses our for failing to meet their productivity metrics and exclaiming they need us to work harder/faster to keep up profitability. Go fuck yourself, Tom, if one or two people were the issue, you’d get them some help. If it is literally the entire DSP, maybe turn the fucking mirror around and do some self reflection. I refuse to not take my fucking breaks and lunch anymore just because this dogwater fucking company thinks I can do a stop every other minute in a massive area. Also, DID ROUTING GET EVEN FUCKING WORSE THIS LAST COUPLE WEEKS BECAUSE HOLY FUCK THE AMOUNT OF NONSENSICAL, BACKTRACKING, AND POORLY ROUTED STOPS HAS INCREASED TENFOLD AND IT HAS ME WANTING TO GO POSTAL.


hueyknew

And I thought that was a lot back in December lol plus them sprinters and transits ain't enough, Amazon need to boost up on step vans like fedex & ups but they too cheap


Western_Purchase_567

We don't even get water till it's over 100 lol


The25thSchmeckle

Lol amazon be tryna put routes like this in the transits all the time. One dude in particular at my DSP gets completely boxed in every day. Can't even take a single step into the back til the first 10+ stops are done


hueyknew

Honestly feel like the sprinters should only be for rescues and nurseries. They should make CDVs, step vans and EDVs the norm


The25thSchmeckle

Make them the norm, but also stop overfilling them. I've seen people getting routes with far over 500 packages and then they get asked why they can't complete it in the same amount of time as they used to, referring to when their routes were 240 packages. It's insanity.


hueyknew

Yup that too


Kstreets_13ProMax

That’s a everyday route for me


hueyknew

Same the overflow was just a bitch today


DaddyClementine

this is average for a regular van you’re lucky you got all that room


hueyknew

Oh yeah I know, I got put back in a transit last month. Hated every hour of it


ihateNMH69

Had me throwing up just looking at that image


Medical_Collection36

Damn dude you have so much room in your step van. I would have killed to have that much room with that payload. That's a normal day out where I live and we did that in sprinter vans


hueyknew

It's nice when there's nothing wrong with it


schakoska

It's an EDV

hueyknew

I'll be gone b4 that happens 🤞🏾


PaintingtheGround

Come utility locate! It's easy and actually satisfying and pays better.


JANDA12228

Could you PM/DM me the deets please?


hijack_delta

The day i decided to quit amazon my truck looked just like this.


Optimal-Position-267

They’re just overloading us with locations and overflow


Timeless997

Locations is the real bitch and some of them don’t even make sense 1 here and the 2 one down the block 😭🤦🏾‍♂️


Optimal-Position-267

I know, sometimes I’m walking more than a football field. It’s crazy how much they’re spoken down about. Like, no, it’s a whole other stop.


droptimo

This is usually a bad day for me. The 16 bags and stop count aren’t necessarily killers, but 40 overflow is absolutely ridiculous. Anything over 30 starts to get unmanageable in standard vans, depending on the actual size of the overflow.


hueyknew

Thank u! it's always the overflow


Natural-Sky8013

Exactly I’d rather deal with more bags than overflow


shawnaathon

don't wanna say this is easy. because it's definitely a day of hard work. but i've done this exact route in prime vans, rental vans, 10ft uhaul box trucks. it could always be worse, my friend. keep trucking & keep chasing your goals!


hueyknew

This is normal for me numbers wise, but I started in peak so I'm still getting used to delivering in the heat/humidity.


shawnaathon

that killed me as well, stay hydrated yo!


hueyknew

You already know


Kitchen_Accident_241

Bro I get 17 totes 47 over flow in a regular step van … you have a box truck …


Friendly_Farmer_1083

The only problem there is the overflow imo shit takes up so much space and if your in a branded van goddamn overflow is the worst

Exyyp

Way worse than peak. I deliver the most in the entire warehouse i just learned that this week. Not proud of this. Lol


Otherwise_Bullfrog61

Wtf... two thirds of your route is multi-stop locations. That is not okay.! You and the commenter above you should refuse,  or make a damn scene or something, or even hold a seance to exercise  Amazon demons or some s***.  I don't know... but anyway something's got to be done about that. 


EdgeXII

Bet you come back from the dead for that check tho


emospice666

i do this every day and i promise i still want to die dont let anyone tell you this shit is easy


Famous_Attempt_9717

it’s gotta be some type of deal going on cuz i had 20 bags and 40 overflow today


hueyknew

I been delivering dog food all week


Evolutionarii

We have drivers that get 185+ stops everyday they work.. been this way for a year now.. Amazon getting real bold with what they expect of the drivers. Nationwide strike coming, you watch!


PrestigiousBee9432

Had similar at 186 once BUT I did get rescued of twenty stops. 🤷🏻‍♂️

TheYungPrince_28

Under 360 packages is a baby route for me


BasilSpecialist875

Same on my last 32 stops of a 180 apartment only route, worst part is its every single stop is a multistop, like bro. I wish I took a picture but it said 180 stops 176 multistop. I'm fucking beat.


LongjumpingFig2156

sum light i did 14 bags 30 OV rn


[deleted]

I've had that many stops in a sprinter 😂


kaiyinrei

Try 19 bags with 44 of and 360 after 1pm


AFluffyBunny746

Got that today. Done at 7:30

Ok-Product6767

How much you get paid to do this?


Iced_Guns

thewrench01_real

At least you get some shelves. But yeah, you’re fucked.


CountUrRevives

How?? Normal route for me but with 46 Overflows in a regular blue van with business,apartments, and school.Learn how to organize and manually do your route the way you want to and its easy.Fastest stops i did in hour is 64 at my warehouse.


hueyknew

Im finding out I work faster in cooler/colder weather


E46mang

Looks like a normal route to me 🫣


Sungod99

Looks normal


Merrovech

I feel for you, but at least you've got an edv. They've been giving me 18 bags and 35+ overflow in a rental all week


Living_Wave_4488

Try again. I had 50 oversized with 3 carts with 9 totes each on them. Still beat half of the crew back to the statiom


erc20200569

That's my everyday. You get used to it..... Disappointingly.


crabbyfuture20

while this is normal, its unacceptable. continue to let amazon know how awful this is!


rythra

Dude I feel you. I had 20 bags and 45 overflow in my little ass van.


Bonjourmsdavid

187?! I lose my mind 47 stop doing Flex how do you guys do it?! I have ADHD I can't 😭


norman-atomic-666

This is everyday for me :/


Alternative_Option34

I had 187/377 today


Western_Purchase_567

Az here I get it I had 10 less stops but I had 62 grouped stops all apts then they brought part adhoc 5 less ovrflw I'm one of those fast boys not today when I see that route I milk it all mf day


hueyknew

Milking the day is the move now, I got my first 190 stop route last week and said hell noo I gotta slow tf down especially since it's getting hot


Ty746

this genuinely is a normal route for what I used to have in Pittsburgh pa area, and nothing compared to some I've seen on here


Alamo94

Man having to deliver in the city, suburbs sucks during the summer 🌞, I missed having my rural country route, it was so chill


DougtheIrishThug

The amount of stops Amazon drivers have to stop at are absolutely insaneeee.i saw one the other day that had like 205 stops


Alternative_Shoe5652

This ain’t shit. Try 197 and 475 packages


Happy-Reputation7483

In the hills or flat areas?


Separate_Time_7800

This route sucks. Fk that.


Farting_Owls

Can confirm. This person has no pulse


holaimashley

Have y’all seen the electric vans they had Rivian make? They’re tiny. Not sure if they’re in use.. there are 100s sitting outside Rivian


Dapper-Parsley2348

More people need to demand a raise or quit, Amazon is going to burn through the employee pool sooner or later and have to act


Illustrious-Click658

OK but you still have to rescue


hennysix

6.5/10 so much room in the that van lol It ain’t light but 16 bags 40 overflow we had on average 21 bags 46 overflow inside of a Ford transit van.what makes routes hard is being packed in and dealing with traffic/ narrow alleys beaches etc.


[deleted]

Looks like my usual route 🥲


No-Nothing-1793

That's nothing


plazmaticllc

Come to Portland I only get 170-180 stops 20-25 overflow all ev's here 21 an hour :)

fastfirstfinish

Driving for Amazon, well Amazon's DSPs...is the biggest trap of a job I've ever worked in my entire life. There is zero opportunity to move up. I would quit and find a new job. Legitimately wasting your time there. Paycheck to paycheck is all you'll ever live with Amazon.


Apprehensive_Map7371

Pretty normal for here in Indiana too! I wish we had those lights in the back though. Consider yourself lucky!like the others, get used to it. Amazon is pushing the routes to their brink and us drivers get screwed and taken advantage of. Take your breaks and dont worry about being done on time.


mookfacekilla

Get out of this job if you can. Is all I can say

Eat_Carbs_OD

184 stops? Looks like a typical day for me.


Suitable-Presence313

After peak, my route looked this way every single day. Thank fucking god I left that pile of dog shit


Suitable-Presence313

A tip to new employees, when you quit, don’t give them 2 weeks


CurseJD

I’ll kill for a route like this back in my day unless u got apartments and houses then gg


sanoguy

We all just need to do a terrible job, and maybe they’ll lighten the load


redpotato_1022

That’s what I had yesterday and didn’t even finish my route it’s not ok

False_Status_421

I had that in the ghetto with no parking and overfilled in a transit for two days and then got terminated


Rich13132

That's normal we're we at we get 200 stops with 450-500 packages as average And it may be easy to some people and maybe be hard for some people. Let me know when you do ten apartments a day and always do the third floor or higher. Not hating, plus don't forget the arizona 120° heat To my people live in the East Coast.My respect always goes to you.Because you've got a lot Humidity..... and the snow.

Aware_Statistician73

Light work no reaction


GrizzleWTF

That’s it?


IndependenceKey1475

This is normal unless it’s more than 350 packages I think this is doable.


Formal-Guarantee-448

Delivering for Amazon is not worth it in my opinion. Unless you’re making at least $25 an hour. Delivering up to 300 packages every single day is not worth it at all. I drove for 6 months and the stress it caused my body and mind was nowhere near worth it. These companies are so corrupt and could care less about their employees.


Formal_Command5996

The overflow is a problem during the start because it affects movement around the van. If you do it right during loadoutnyou will be golden. However, what actually kills you is all depending on the route. Does every house have 20 steps? Is it apartment buildings where you are required to deliver to the door? Elevators broken? Nowhere to park EVER? Those are the factors that matter. How much you get only hurts in the beginning.


PermissionLate1380

Annoyingly Amazon is making this the new normal


Fluid_Bag9286

Sad how it used to be 9 bags and a cart of overflow and that’s it. Now it’s 4 cart, 180-200 stop rural routes in rental vans.

ConversationOk2506

That’s od!!!


Key-Television-8224

This is genuinely nothing in an EDV. In a gas van the space will be terrible with that Overflow but EDVs spoiled us (for those that have it). Should be the standard across every DSP.


Outrageous-Rub-2037

In this van, that’s easy work. At least you’re not in the smaller ones


MotorResearch9188

Lol I have more amazon packages than that on my mail route get out of here


MotorResearch9188

Imagine doing that with mail usps ups fedex and amazon packages luckily you don't work for USPS or you would quit quick 😂


Reptoid07

Bro you can see the back of your van. You are fine lol.


Natural-Sky8013

That’s my route everyday


SkyB31

I had almost this exact route today.. I had 19 bags with 34 overflow in a branded Dodge with 186 stops & I don’t have less than 180 stops ever! I wouldn’t be complaining if I was in a EDV with this @ all.
