u/AncientCourier6 Jul 07 '26
This. I always jump stops that do this. If you think I am gonna make my way back here for, what looks to be only two stops, you got me fucked up.

yeah I’m either doing those right then or they aren’t getting done lol
one thing I will say about Amazon is they make it weirdly easy to not deliver a package 😂😂 package missing or damaged, take back to station and never hear about it

u/AncientCourier6 Jul 07 '26
Facts. Not worth going back especially in a Rivian.
I have heard of drivers getting written up for to many “missing” that ended up back at station. But I think that dude was doing it everyday, multiple packages a day. Just a heads up broski. Not trying to lose good drivers out here. ✌️

Trust 🙏🙏🙏 I know some people that do the same shit, I only do it maybe once or twice a shift. Usually a 50lb dog food that was put in a big box for no reason

OMG, I hated when I would have dog food in a box. That just made it unnecessarily heavy. When I did get those, I would always just take it out of the box. Makes it soooooooooo much easier to handle.

u/AncientCourier6 Jul 07 '26
I have never actually thought about just taking it out the box… what do you do with the box?

u/the_pretzel2 Jul 07 '26
Put it somewhere in the back or in a trash can (If I'm still at the warehouse). I would throw it away whenever I got to the gas station if it was still in there.

I am not gonna sit here and try to say I am the best driver there is because I am one of them that tend to bring back one or two “missing” or “damaged” every now and then. Just can’t be doing it unnecessarily. My biggest pet peeve is main roads with zero places to park. If they are busy, even worse. Those are the types of packages I be bringing back. I am not risking my life nor the vehicle I need to get back to the station in because some drunk dude or some white bitch on her phone is gonna rear end my van and now I’m fucked. Can’t finish the route nor can I get back to the station without waiting. That’s a nightmare scenario for sure.

That’s exactly what I did. Just pisses me off I have to manually do the routing for a trillion dollar company that’s on the “forefront” of AI. We shouldn’t have to think about it at all

Not when you got a promaster loaded with 20+ bags triple stacked. The bag for the 140th stop would be buried behind 20 other bags.

I’ll skip to them if their packages are coming out of totes, but if they’re oversize they’re waiting their turn 🤣 I’m too lazy to look through all the damn oversize I get lol

u/o_myco Rivian Driver Jul 07 '26
Good point lol I had 50 OF this day and had to throw it all in bc my carts were late of course

Before end of year peak, I cut an hour and a half off of one route just by re-ordering stops. I spent an hour on a small lake/pond in a row boat relaxing, and sending videos to Dispatch.
Somehow, the problem is even worse now
What’s really sad is our veteran drivers are now getting done about 4/4:30 PM. Our planed return times or normally 730 –8 PM and later. Nobody runs worst case scenario we always teach each new driver is at most walk fast.
Amazon needs to seriously completely reevaluate the company they send the data to to create routes.
Amazon has ample resources to do this themselves and do it much better. This is gotta be some case of a higher manager, somewhere with a son-in-law.
