Vantaggi
- $20/hr, weekly pay, ADP app for payroll - Interview was trivial, gave me the offer without much effort - Training is decent, lots of good advice from a lot of different people - Coworkers and dispatch are cool people - DY01 is a nice place, cool breakroom - They have scheduled days where they give out a ton of free snacks or even merch sometimes - They pay you for your DOT physical and certification, which can lead to a CDL if you want - As long as you give 2 weeks notice you can call out basically whenever you want** - At its best, you're driving a van and listening to music
Svantaggi
- A lot of vans are abused af, some would barely work well enough to drive and were often filthy and filled w trash (and sometimes bottles of urine) - The owner sends out cringy threatening texts to the whole company pretty much every day, like announcing every time someone was fired (i.e. 3 employees TERMINATED today for safety violations...) - I called out sick one time; they fired me, then back-peddled and basically said 'Don't do that for another 180 days and you'll keep your job' - The 'nursery route' system is kind of cool but it just means the job gets harder the longer you work there and there's no compensation - There are sometimes 'blackout dates' where you can't miss work under any circumstances or you're instantly fired - Amazon flex app is super annoying and the GPS is really delayed and confusing - Schedules are made weekly with a draft system, and it can be any day of the week. You find out your schedule on the Friday beforehand, so basically 2 days notice every week. It made things really hard to plan around - The weather has to be very extreme for the fleet to get called off, be prepared - A lot of vans have a driver tracking camera that's really freaky, but you don't need to drive in those kinds of vans most of the time
