Amazon Delivery Service Partner Program (Any Updates)

I saw a news report with the same speculations this earlier this month. Had actual drivers who had nothing good to say about it.
i'm watching the video now...
1. in regards to employees: there is a greater expense hiring employees vs contracted drivers. But we didn't take in as many office people just 3. and some drivers have additional responsibilities outside of driving. that helps offset the budget employees. biggest plus is that area is hiring everyone as part time and doing split shifts instead of paying overtime and overworking people.
2. the 7500 per route is true especially if problems arise such as recent flooding, gas fluctuations, etc. think of an uber driving needing to hit a certain tier before you actually see money. he's right about the margin being smacked if there is an accident we've already had 2 incidents, one was swept under the rug since there was no damage on no part and my cousin just slid the lady a few bucks to put a smile on her face. the other was a dick we're still in court on that.
also the route managers are STRAIGHT DICKS because they hold the power and they know it. yeah youre greasing palms to keep up strong traffic going especially in Houston
the stories about employees pissing in cans n shit i don't kwow about that. yeah the pressure is to get stuff delivered but not to the point it comes to that. that's more the smaller companies biting off more then they can chew trying to do the same job of a bigger courier setup.
bottom line, this is our first year. it's going to be a loss on this no matter what but that was expected in the first year. guy in the video is on point about figuring the profit, and the issue maintaining employees. a lot of the other stuff he was talking was an over exaggeration.
How much is one truck bringing in.. brah?
monthly about 1800 before u deduct gas, driver, etc... we were seeing more for a time but there's another company in the area now
right now it's kinda a mess. it's steady, but the profit is slowly shrinking when it should be increasing. really everything on this quarter is riding on november/december.
I know u ain't a happy camper about that.. brah
naw not really but we haven't even been in it for a year yet and we haven't been in the negative nor is their concern of being in the negative, just would like to see more business in it especially since they' are doing nothing but complaining about their own drivers not meeting quota.
funny i was looking up to see what y'all knew about lasership and this post came back up.
we switched over to lasership(now ontrac) in 2021
the money is soooooo much better.
breakdown right now we have 14 drivers and 12 routes. i make triple the money then i did with amazon.
the rates are negotiable based upon where you are at but for ex. i make 4-4.50 per package delivered.
each route on avg daily does about 100-135 packages mon -fri and then 170-220 on sunday
i pay my drivers 2.00 per package delivered. not per stop, but per package. so if 4 packages are delivered to one address that's 8 bucks made.
so average that out monthly that's 144k before i deduct for payroll the 4 vans i lease, insurance, etc. majority of my drivers drive their own vehicles. and they are making about 850 to 1100 a week.
reason why majority of the lasership drivers are sub contractors basically weedheads, dudes who cant become a contracted driver themselves so they working up under someone else not really giving a fuck cause they are only make 1-1.50 per package deliveryI agree with IceAlmost got into a fight with one of those Lasership drivers. They usually wear red shirts, dude was wearing black lol.
is it worth investing in?
YES. there's very little you need to invest. you can start in your own vehicle if you want or see if they have one you can use.
the games changed. right now there's bidding wars all over the country. i've won 4 territories worth from 560k-890k yearly. y'all need to jump in on it if you got the funds and stuff needed to get it going.
right now there's bidding currrently in las vegas markets, washington state markets, san fran markets and a whole new market with an avg of 4400 packages a day in chicago.
I can attest to the seller treatment. Biggest fucking headache.
What kind of funds do you need to jump in?
about a 1k-1.5k for starting insurance policy
about 1k to register with the D.O.T and get an MPC number for your company basically youre registering like a trucking company
600 for setting up workers comp
based on your territory you will need some large cargo vans for business deliveries i had 14 routes and 3 large vans and 6 minivans in addition to my drivers driving their own. now i have 6 territories (each averaging 7y-8 routes) and i need to buy or lease some sprinters so factor that in.
so with one territory figure about min 5k if u got drivers with vehicles and as high as 130k buying vans. but it's worth it. each territory is doing between 560k-890k
right now they just announced bidding for chicago. chicago is one big territory with 30 routes avg 4400 pieces a day
worst case scenario youre bringing in weekly 55k i would jump on it but that needs everything. you gotta source your employees, vehicles, all that for that many routes. if i had it and it was closer i'd jump on but out of my comfort zone.
right now i was just alerted arizona territories are up for bidding
Where do you go to see what territories are available to bid on?
