What's it like to be a delivery driver for Amazon? I get that question a lot and I always tend to sugarcoat the answer, but not anymore. This is what it's like to deliver for Amazon.... you start the day by loading 250 to around 350 packages which is any where between 150 to more than 200 stop. A stop can be anywhere from 1 to 5 different houses. Packages can weigh up to 50 pounds and majority of the time packages are not labeled heavy so there goes your back when your day starts. Packages a majority of the time come to us drivers already damages. You have no time for a lunch break (but you have to write down that you took one) and if your lucky you might get 1 of your 15 minute breaks. You have to choose whether or not you want to stay hydrated and choose between going and finding the closest bathroom and being called by dispatch to see why you are leaving your area or do what the guys do and pee in a bottle in the van. When an area is not accessible due to remodeling or anything and you let Amazon know and they forget they blame you for their mistakes instead of owning up to it. You get in trouble if the business is closed when you get there, or if the customer needs to sign for the packages but they arent home. You get in trouble for every package you have to bring back even if it's not your fault. Amazon asks you to give your feed back on everything to how they handle things, the routes, and the navigation system. Beware of giving feed back, they don't fix anything, they take routes anyway, maKe the navigation worse, and will some how find something to blame you for to give you a tier 1 infraction which will cost you your job. So next time you want to blame the driver for an issue with your package not being on time or damages. Or that we are pissed off or cranky, please remember that we try our hardest to get it to you, we are hungry, have to pee, and out of the 200 plus people we deliver to no more then 5 have told us "Thank you".
