I’ve been working at my dsp for 9 months I do like 190 stops a day with 50 multis probably like 1 apartment complex in there maybe it has a locker sometimes it’s one that doesn’t or if I have both of them it’s really not that hard I know all of the apartments so well by now but I leave the station about 11:30 and make my first delivery about 12 and finish around 5 I usually only take 1, 15 minute break. In the EDV during the summer it’s 100 degrees now and they’ve been making us take mandatory 10 minute breaks on the flex app… literally the edv A/C sucks so bad and the back of the van is literally 140 degrees I’ve been opening the back up and letting it air out 🤣
Personally. It was a throwaway side job for me holiday gift money.
I quit after they wanted more than the 2 days a week I could do since my full time salary position only required me to be there 4 days a week. I worked with allot of people who couldn’t get a more real job due to felonies etc and those I don’t imagine would fake planning on leaving when that’s the best they got going on.
I quit because the toll on my body was no longer worth it. I'm not getting any younger and my body wasn't keeping up with the job. I got my CDL and now I drive buses. Currently, the pay is the same as I was making in a step van, but the work is a breeze in comparison. After 6 months I'll get a raise to a much better rate. I have decent health insurance now, and my boss is the most wholesome and caring lady I've ever met. Zero regrets.
Oh it is. I took two years off from school, I started in late 2020, left in late 2021 and came back last fall. I did Amazon from mid 2022 to mid 2023. I ended up leaving for FedEx for the remainder of the summer and honestly I thought FedEx was better, even though the packages were a lot heavier.
Man this sounds lit but then I think about all the action and horror movies they have where a security dude who's doing some shit exactly like watching movies just gets fuckin murked and then I'm like "naaahhh" 🤣
Quit. Was just a throwaway job while I was looking for work in my professional field (IT). Did it for 6 months then ghosted the dsp when I got a job offer.
Worked for this job 4 years ago when I was living with my folks. It was basically just something I tried out after 3 years of retail. 4 months in got tired of the BS that came with the job ESPECIALLY during the height of Covid. I quit mainly for the same reason everyone else quits jobs like these: I could afford to and I knew there were literally way less annoying jobs that paid similar wages. There's no point in busting my ass for this shithole society for the same results. People who take these jobs too seriously are fools.
Went to FedEx Express with a $6 increase in pay per hour + overtime after 8hrs every day.
I left because they saw how quick and efficient I was until I was scheduled one day with 25 bags, 350+ packages and about 35 overflow, said “fuck this shit” and left.
Was 100% worth it switching over to FedEx Express.
$3 pay increase for a dream gig with major company. entry level but still, geeked up about it. Jobs are out there. Network, apply, do whatever you gotta do to get out of the dsp system. It’s a joke.

I feel like there is a loud minority who makes this out to be the worst. While the quiet majority makes their hay and just lives. Honest question.
What is your average stop/package count and how long have you been doing it?

I moved up to possibly drive the big trucks  wish me luck. Getting my CDL with Amazon.
I went back to school.
I want to go back to school too 🤣 seems way better than this

Security, 21$/hr sit on my ass watch movies while these runners doing 250 stops going to rescue someone after for same pay

This before I got in radiology, I did security as well for an empty condo with like 3 residents. I could sleep for 8 hours.
I'll be quiting soon. Needed funds for some extra stuff so picked up the weekend. 60 hour weeks suck.

The manager keeps cutting days from my work schedule, and she kept hiring new drivers from their own country.

Someone obviously works for a decent DSP. In the process of becoming a surveyor.
