the van is equipped with GPS and monitors so you can’t go over 70mph, can’t leave the car on while on delivery, makes an unbearable beeping sound if you don’t wear your seatbelt, automatically shuts off if you put it in parking, etc. In flex, you can just bail your car almost anywhere & drive into people’s driveways and not worry about clearances, with the van you have to be more careful and slow. driving the van in the city sucks sometimes. after 5 months i was still only a “seasonal” employee so i never got the rest of the benefits and there was no clear path to being a full employee for anyone. not driving your own car, they pay gas + tolls. steady work (sometimes in flex i can’t grab a block for the life of me, although my city is overrun by hackers and I don’t so that could be it). As far as I know, there’s only a handful of warehouses that offer in house delivery with actual amazon full time employees so probably only major cities. I’ve never worked for a DSP, so I can’t comment on that, but I worked as an Amazon Delivery Associate driving the Prime Mercedes vans for actual Amazon, not a third party company, so I can answer your questions. Would anyone here recommend it? Do they lend you their own company vehicle and how different is it to drive a van from only driving a car or SUV before? At least with Amazon, as long as it takes to finish my block or whatever I'm good to go, right? Honestly, I'd rather do that and actually be doing something than to be waiting around in a hot spot and get no ping. I know it might be a bit tedious but I've went through hours of just sitting there during Postmates. Now, this is full time and it's something I haven't really ever gotten around doing for a very long time (the full-time morning schedule), but compared to what I originally had (part-time and whenever I felt like it), I'll definitely be making more off this.īut yeah, I was wondering how was the experience of becoming an Amazon driver like.
I've looked into Amazon Flex but unfortunately there's no opening in the LA area.īut then I also did look around and notice that there's opening for an Amazon delivery driver near me. I guess it also depends on your location and how good/lucky you are with getting pings, but overall it makes me wish I had a real delivery job. I figured the amount of time I've spend doing it along with driving around with my car just wasn't worth it.
Anyways, I've did Postmates a while ago, hit the incentive/beginner quest and kinda got out of there not too long after. I've looked around and figured this was the most appropriate. Sorry if this isn't the right place to ask.
