If it’s not the Amazon employees pressuring us to get the hell out of the warehouse to start our delivery’s or my boss constantly reminding us that we are all replaceable it’s the SHITTY GPS. Now I don’t mind helping my follow drivers but no I absolutely don’t want to rescue Gurpreet 45 mins away from me after working for 9 hours without any help. And was rarely even given a rescue when I needed it. Once I started getting the hang of my usual routes I started finishing within 6-7 hours and for at least 2 months I was sent to rescue someone after EVERY route. Now rescues are a great idea but my dsp used them in a way that I wasn’t fond of.

Imagine finding a small overflow box in a van full to the top of random boxes all over the place.

That was the worst think I could ever do. My first couple months I wouldn’t sort anything and would just randomly throw everything in my van. I was given 300+ packages with 200+ stops and was expected to sort and load my van in 20 minutes! 20 minutes to sort 40 overflow that was just randomly thrown on a rack? Impossible. I was extremely nervous but around the third or so hour into my first shift I started getting a hang of it.Īfter my first couple shifts I noticed that my package count almost doubled and sometimes tripled from when I first started. Now don’t get me wrong, the job isn’t hard but there was absolutely no training given to me on day one. I would say this is where things get real. I would listen to podcast all day or listen to music and just enjoy the peace of dropping off packages. When I’m not given the shittiest route on the worst weather conditions. This would have to be my favourite part of the job. I have countless videos saved of me chilling with stray cats or customers big friendly dogs playing with me. It shocked me how some people lived outside of the city.Īs someone who loves dogs and cats, this job has blessed me with being able to meet dozens of super friendly dogs and cats. I got to see things from beautiful farm lands to incredibly large estates. My DSP was starting us at $18 an hour which I had never made before so I was ecstatic for the pay bump from $14.25 to $18.00īeing a city boy, I don’t get to see the country side a lot and this job has brought me to some amazing places and beautiful views that I would have never thought were in my province. I’ll start with the pros offer job as I feel like they aren’t always brought up. I had absolutely no clue what I was getting myself into. So I got hired last year August as I had lost my previous job to Covid.
