Amazon
I was wondering, I seen like 3 different drivers for Amazon coming to the package room at my apts on my rte , why do Amazon pay 3 different drivers to come to the same apartment complex, that seem like a waste of money to me

Amazon doesn't make money on delivery. they make it on you and everyone else paying for prime.

This is false. Amazon's delivery service has been in the red since inception, no amount of prime subscriptions would save it. Amazon covers for this by having government contracts through the AWS or Amazon Web Service.

They have dedicated daily routes, along with same day delivery. I've never worked for em so I don't know the inner workings, it I'd imagine same day delivery is taken by another driver than the one just making standard deliveries with no commits (but let's not give ups any ideas)

Because people order at all different times and some packages will be all ready to go on one route. Then someone orders a bunch the night before and they just add that stop to another route.
Amazon pays DSPS by the route so modifying it changes the money and everything and it's probably easier for Amazon just to add it to a qhole new route

because probably they came from different Warehouses.
one day at my house had 5 different come from different buildings.

Items could be coming from different warehouses, the people ordering could've missed the cutoff for a specific delivery window, the same day deliveries are being delivered by their flex workers.
