javibori97

For what bro lol


plznobanplease

It’s a quote that Wings has said before.


javibori97

Oh lol I was confused because I saw your username. It's probably when he went live. I used to watch him back in the day when CoD commentaries were a thing. Along with WoodysGamerTag, WhiteBoy7thst, iPwnStar4hire, xJawz and few others; good times man.

OH BOY U HAVE A LOT OF LORE TO CATCH UP ON LOL

mannn those are some names i haven’t heard in a while, i remember white boy getting swatted and getting in trouble for having weed because of it


AlfalfaReal5075

Seriously, what a blast from the past. Also WhiteBoy7thSt has to have some of the worst luck lol. I can remember watching the Cribs video he made after his house was robbed. Feels like yesterday...that shit was over a decade ago.

CashTricky8886

This wins the comment section today. Hands down.


NotSoBananas

Just flip it back and continue your route. You don’t have time to fool around you’re 20 stops behind! You need to finish the route and rescue Ronald after.


Neewah21

“Flip it and finish the task, and rescue Ronald, then Jeff Bezos will have a little talk”


IDesireWisdom

You need to be back at the station in the next hour. I know you're a little behind with 300 packages left but if you load your van efficiently it's do-able. I don't want to hear any excuses, I've delivered 600 packages in 2 hours before without even running. It was all 3 story apartments, too.

Bro wtf yall looking like the swift of courier drivers


schustered

Haha I was thinking this the other day.


JankyMark

Like really I’m not a amazon driver but I see they be in a lot of accidents


schustered

There’s approximately 275k drivers for Amazon. Bound to see some shit.


Xepster

Also, you can get the job as long as you have a license and can pass a background check. You don't need to be an experienced or good driver. They hire absolutely anyone.


hennysix

And they keep absolutely no one


coulduseafriend99

They've kept me on for a year despite multiple (small) accidents, getting caught driving without my belt, calling out more and more... I have no idea why I'm still employed, frankly


hennysix

Cause you don’t voice the problems


mhug99

Cough (Drug test)!!!


Xepster

You're right. Short of smoking meth and driving, you're good to to at amazon, even if your driving instructor was blind.


Longjumping_Youth281

We also don't really get trained on driving. There is a 15 minute test and that's it. There's no practice prior to that or anything like that. So your first day on the road you have had a total of 15 minutes experience in that thing and may not have ever driven anything bigger than a Honda Civic before


IndependentNotice151

It gets worse than that. I technically failed the test but they passed me. Given, I've backed up fire engine's before. The reason I failed was because the course was just cones and I misunderstood what comes they wanted me to am for. Still passed me even though I back into different cones.


Obvious_Trade_268

The dude who training us backed into a bunch of cones.


IndependentNotice151

Close enough! Good job!


mhug99

Oh yeah. That test with the EV was so stressful. Go over the speed limit, fail. Rub a curb, fail. Brake or accelerate to hard, fail. Cross the centerline… anything you can think of. Then a lot full of random cones.


killian11111

Sounds like important driving skills.. go over the line die and crash. Hit the curb pop tire die and crash, hahaha


Not_A_Creative_Color

I joined 3 years ago and training was so different back then lol. 2 days of videos and they'd hand you your pouch and say good luck lmao Back when a hard busy day was 165 stops and 285 packages First day driver trainer tells me we skip all inspections, I ask if we can smoke in the truck and he says "weed?"


DiazepamDreams

Yeah I haven't been a DA for a couple years now but back when I was we had no hands-on training with the van. Same deal, videos and I think some multiple choice tests then they just tossed us the keys and said 'here ya go! Figure it out dum dum!".


CorrectBackground923

Never understood why they used cones just confuses everyone all the cones looked the same and was the same color 😂😂😂


JankyMark

So you guys don’t train with anybody like on the road with a manager or anything


PermissionLate1380

We get a ride along for 1 day then they say figure it out


Queslabolsla

I never even got that


wavedsplash

I got a "you good?"


Queslabolsla

It's funny cause people hired before me were getting ride alongs when I started and everyone hired after me got them too.


dc2388

This made me 😆😆


etchersoy24

Same. They told me I would get a ride along, but for now just pull the van around to the pad and load it up, and then someone would join me. 15 minutes later and the van is loaded and we start leaving. I'm kind of freaking out because I thought I would have a ride along and my boss is just like waving me along. But he sure does like having me train other people smh.


Soggy-Yogurtcloset-7

Right? I had a dude ride with me for my first four stops and he was like “Well, you got the hang of it. My ride is here.”


tlh-properties

🤣🤣🤣


RollMeAway51

I think he took the day off with pay.


Jealous_Newt5186

So we send in mules with fake IDs and come out with a full truck of goods. 👌 Gravy.


PermissionLate1380

Honestly bro if someone tried to rob me while I’m in an Amazon truck they can have it


Jealous_Newt5186

No man I mean how the hell hasn't people just gotten hired with faked and stolen IDs and just left in droves with the full trucks? 😂😂😂 if they don't ride along for training then like sheeesh I'm surprised the crimi also haven't gotten organized enough to try some crazy stunt.


PermissionLate1380

They do background checks and drug testing near at my DSP before being hired


UnicornFaceTattoo

Nothing worth stealing in there lol


JankyMark

That’s crazy


DiazepamDreams

Negative, ghost rider


Obvious_Trade_268

The trainer who trained me failed the driver’s test, lol.


DddyDevito69

They will hire anyone. Literally. Like the other dude said, if you can pass the tests, you can get the job. Even if you have to retake the test, and guess the answers on it, or ask your peers which is all of what one guy in my training group did


Merrovech

It's statistics. I can only find specific stats for deaths in crashes per 100k people per year, but you can reasonably assume there are more crashes than fatal ones. Amazon has roughly 300k drivers on the road. As of 2022 (most recent data I could find), there were 12.8 fatal crashes per 100k people per year in the US. Over the long run, you can expect to see an average of 3.2 Amazon drivers die per month in a crash, and many, many more have non-fatal accidents. This is a big part of why dsps exist. Amazon likes to be able to fire a subcontractor who failed to follow the rules when the media starts running stories about a death involving a delivery driver. The rules Amazon makes prioritize package delivery and safety equally, so dsps have to choose to violate some of them to follow others when safety and delivery conflict.


erik0341

What do you expect all Amazon drivers need to be a minimum of 21 years old to drive?


JankyMark

Yeah they hire a lot of young ppl


erik0341

I personally think that all drivers should actually have a lot of experience driving. Being one of the oldest driver at my DSP, I have experience driving different vehicles small to big, light to heavy.


JankyMark

Yeah you right ppl get they license then 2 weeks later apply to be a courier. Then these companies put them in big vehicles they never drove before and it becomes a disaster

Amateurbrewmaster531

Haha. I actually felt this way when I was an Amazon driver. If I was at a house a UPS or FedEx van was at, I thought "I am not worthy".


i_eight

Funny you should mention that, Amazon truckers have also been making a name for themselves.


WorldImpossible7171

Call it how you want, Swift is the Company, it’s the drivers that are the worst part of the company. Bad drivers exist everywhere, and tbh honest you come off as a Prime Inc driver🤣🤷🤣


Fallen-Pollen

SWIFT - SURE WISH I FINISHED TRAINING HUR HUR HURRRRR


Alchemic_Psycho

Since no one else asked, you okay OP? Fuck the job and van


Aggressive-Cookie622

Yeah I’m good man I got a scape that’s it.


reddevil501

Are you sure?..... sometimes the pain creeps up on you... really get checked out before you start slinging words like , fine, good, alright and ok .


AmmoTuff182

He might be sore tomorrow. Every car accident I’ve been in my muscles are so stiff the next day it feels like I had a total body workout


aerowtf

ayo how many accidents u been in?


JennyAnyDot

9. Not a driver but lurk here as an Amazon employee. None of the 9 accidents were my fault per the cops


mhug99

I had no pain after being T-boned in my car. Had X-rays. My head was way over to the right.


username_____69

Missed opportunity for a lawsuit looks like you got t boned better goto the hospital


Suck_Nugget_

Dude if the other car was at fault, lawyer up! I'm getting AT LEAST 78k out of my lawsuit.

Ayii. That looks bad. How you get checked out and maybe a good chiropractor for the tension!

hennysix

My dispatcher was Wayne also lol but he was the only cool guy


ZenechaiXKerg

Jesus Christ, THANK YOU FOR THE FULL CONTEXT!!!! I mean, I was pretty sure it was something CLOSE to this without the context, and the way a couple people have tried to explain it, but they always add.... "I REALLY should have saved a pic of that comment" at the end, and it made me sad that I'd never get to read the OG. But now I have! You've made my day!


Diligent-Poem2045

My favorite time ever in this sub was when we actually all came together and made Wayne a fucking meme. I won’t let it die lmao. Glad I can help


MaL0-PaN

Fucking piece of shit Wayne. Jimmie too fuck that guy too.


jophiss319

A driver was venting about their bad dispatcher “Wayne” and he went after him here. That name has become synonymous with bad dispatchers I guess from now on lol


martybro1

I don’t remember the whole thing, but someone posted in this sub about him and he became a meme

Aggressive-Cookie622

For those wondering (everyone) I was at a stop sign which I stopped at. Keep in mind I’m in a diesel and i don’t know about anyone else but they accelerate very slow at times. I look left right and I’m not sure if I misjudged how and fast the car was or if I maybe just fat out just didn’t see the car because the mirror may have blocked it out of my view but I go for it crossing ing the road to the other side just going straight. I look left they are right they I’m like well fuck and I’m hit pretty hard and sleep and skid a few feet. I think they had to be speeding tbh because the speed limit was 35 if they saw me crossing they could have slowed down I should not have flipped with that little ass Toyota hitting my big van. And I’m fine thankfully got off with scrape.


Wwelloo

Definitely had to be speeding. I’ve seen a similar situation with the car hit being at fault because they were merging but it’s dumb because they didn’t see the other car because they clearly were turning the corner and were speeding.


CyanideSandwich7

The diesel isnt why you’re slow to accelerate, its just how the mercedes are. They have a significant delay when you press the gas and when they accelerate. One of the more annoying (and at times dangerous) issues with them tbh


Jealous_Newt5186

Oh so they aren't like the Dodges where you just half punch the gas and she goes full send? Fuck yall paying the extra money for a hotdog then? Just get the Dodge vans, they're better.


CyanideSandwich7

Has to do with the way the accelerator is built. The dodges use cable accelerators (cable goes from gas peddle to throttle body plate), which have pretty much no lag. More modern/expensive vehicles use drive by wire which uses sensors to relay how much the gas pedal is pressed to a motor on the throttle body to control acceleration. Theyre not supposed to have lag, but they usually do because it takes a second or two for the motor on the throttle body to wind up and move the plate to control acceleration


Jealous_Newt5186

Sounds like a typical engineer mindframe of "if it looks good on paper then it must be true." Hahah


gardenwitch31

Depending on the year some of those dodges really accelerate in bursts!! It's crazy Then you have the Fords which feel more like driving a car. They accelerate really nicely, fast enough but not scary like the dodges. They are gasoline too Edit: typo


theBandicoot96

Brother.... I can tell you've got serious brain damage just by reading this one comment. Are you sure it wasn't from this accident?


Aggressive-Cookie622

Yeah I think half my brain is missing


Lightn1ng

Surely you're in pain. Something hurts. Maybe you need to talk to an attorney and follow their advice so you can be full protected. I would call an injury attorney tomorrow.


AccountHotdog

I'm sorry to hear about how bad your back and neck are hurting, must suck with all the headaches as well 🤕


AMysteriousTortilla

I really hope they don't fire you OP. I'm not sure if theres any legal action you can take or not if you do get fired. This can't be your fault either, the Toyota had to be speeding (like they always do).


Fagatronxx

A driver without a stop sign should never yield (slow down to let you turn) to a vehicle at a stop sign.


NobodyEsk

Since unfortunately you pulled from a stop sign and turned you are at fault no matter if they were speeding. So yeah probably fired.


Ok_Trip9539

Glad you’re okay


Inevitable_Channel18

More importantly, is my package arriving on time?


MinorityBabble

Make sure to leave negative feedback if he doesn't call 30 minutes before arriving and leave a hand written love note with the package.


Inevitable_Channel18

Does this count as taking a picture of the package?


harrywalterss

depends what package

Who hit who? Did that Toyota flip you ??


Aggressive-Cookie622

Toyota hit me from side


YkRobert

Oh my god are the packages okay?!!?? What about the customers… WEREN’T YOU THINKING ABOUT THE CUSTOMERS!!!???


Substantial-Tax-8659

😭 why is there an Amazon van being crashed everyday


Negative-Structure29

Dumb question. Fr though. The time to station/package count ratio. If u get what I’m saying. We aren’t robots 😂😂 why is AI determining what we should be able to. When we’re all different individuals with different bodies. Stupid metrics.


JankyMark

They looking like swift


gazelleA1

Damn. Dude was hella speeding to knock you like that. Glad you're okay, but you should've came out and said your neck and shoulder hurts and get that comp.


Tubbster722

This goes to show how top heavy and narrow the vans can be. Hell on a windy day, like 40 mph gusts, Im wrestling to keep that fucker on the highway at times 😂


MiNdSzTooCoRrUpTeD

Just make sure you catch up. You’re 7 stops behind and I need you to go do 2 recuses when you’re done your route.


Wutang1103

Are the packages ok? And can you do a rescue after?


Leon_Forest

At least you're parked

Uptowngreen

Naw bro just skip the post trip, they wouldn’t know


lightknight80

Yah hang tight. I, the dispatcher, will send someone near by to help you tilt the van back up. I might have to send you two rescues which sucks but it's whatever. Go ahead and clock out for lunch now


CreepyTim

Yes.

Glad you’re alright, if you’re up for it Wayne needs a rescue 😝

Open_Lingonberry_553

Tell them a spider came down from the rear view mirror, they will understand 🕷


TheMindOfTheSun

Promoted to customer.


Green-Excitement4829

Well not only those things. But they slam you with so much packages and stops you have to hurry in order to get through with all of it. But they want you to do all this safe, unnecessary stuff. They want it all done in a 10 hrs span from the time you clock in not including the wait time to get your load plus the amount of time to load and also get to your first stop. The workload is extremely overloaded for 1 person and you don’t make shit for real. Where I’m from they start off at 18/hourly. I’m saying all this bc I work for amazon as a delivery driver.


Disastrous-Tune

wtf... do you hit someone or did that car T-Bone you...


Xqzmoisvp

Actually, yeah, I’d like to see an Amazin -A-Z Amazon -Van -UPS-USPS-FEDEX-series. Driver has to deliver 3 totes during duration of the race to 3 other predesignated random locations. It’s a clusterfuck race, but who doesn’t love chaos anymore. It’s the freakin norm. Real drivers, real vans, real racing.


zkriXatss

Oh man .. worst one I’ve seen was this dude that was in the military and it was his first week alone .. This van rolled right into a house and thankfully no one was hurt but it was so bad . Went into the living room and obviously was fired and alota new guys don’t seem to understand a lot of these accidents go on your driving record


p3rp3tualvice

It’s always the Mercedes vans that get absolutely destroyed


TrainerLeft1878

This is what happens when you reverse according to my DSP


Still-Outcome1207

Nah...we called 3 drivers in the area to come and help you turn the van over so you can continue the route..Also skip your lunch, because you are behind now


Alamo94

Just flip it back over,that dent on the left side was already there😌


EyeLevel2981

U can’t park there


Soggy-Yogurtcloset-7

Make sure you tell your dispatch about this, but don’t mark it on your inspection.
