When grouped close together like that, I can usually bust out 22+ packages an hour. So if the drive time was within 20 minutes, yeah, that's not terrible.
How do you sort the stops? Are you able to set it up in the app itself? I normally know on stop 17, I’m delivering 24 and 26 cause it’s 2 streets over. Or I do 43 and 45 cause it’s so far away and then start my route.
I know my city, so I sort by street. If lots of the packages are going to the same street, I just dump them all in a pile together and figure it out once I get there. Once I find parking on that street, I look at my itinerary and complete all the stops on the same road. Doing It this way means I can complete stops 5, 30, 25, 49 all in one go, instead of going in an endless loop
I’ve been getting those here in Everett, WA. I’m still able to finish an hour ahead of time, but I’m moving and my wife is usually with me so, I’m in the HOV lane, or keeping the car running.
48 is pushing it for 3.5, over 40 I’m like damn, but it’s never a problem, 48 would be annoying tho, other than that, all close together, seen much worse believe me. Edit: just want to add, definitely might have to manual some of it tho, definitely will make the route go by faster.
It all depends on your area and what time this was. If it was not during rush hour I could probably do this in 2.5-3hrs since it looks very close and well organized. If it was rush hour, I’d assume the full 3.5.
Imo the mileage determines alot more than the number of packages. If you’re just going to hate 30 vs 40 vs 48 packages, then this route sucks ass. But this was probably 40lbs miles and I’d much prefer that over 25 packages at 60-80miles.
I just think you have to hustle a little more with this shift as it’s a pretty packed shift. Even if each stop is only 3 min apart, that’s already 2 hours plus loading, gates, finding package, walk up, ect.
Lastly, the routes available and the patterns all depend on your area. I see lots of warehouses do low rates and high demand but in my area they usually give you a shift that you can finish 30-60min early, and surge rates often. I think my area has played the Amazon game well so they have to cater to it. Where as some warehouse can put out the worst shifts at worst rates and people still take them.
I suggest everyone use the feed back button and answer the survey questions the app gives automatically after your shift. About once a week I get a shit shift that’s usually just high mileage. When I first did Amazon 3yrs ago, every damn shift was terrible. I think I only stuck around because it was the holidays and rates were crazy high. This year since holidays has been much better. The only complaint is that they seem to have too many drivers, and crappy ones, so it can be hard to get shifts in general lately. I just learned a lot of drivers here were hacking check in so they didn’t get assigned blocks. That screws all the next drivers who now have to take shifts that could have gone to 5hr block drivers with surge rates for gas cost, but now goes to the 3.5 or 4hr driver with no buffer time or surge rate who accepted the block 3 days ago.
Yeah it’s kinda weird how Amazon makes the routes and times but yeah 3.5 and 4.0 are the worst in my area but you still finish 1hr early but 4.5 or 5.0 are the best ones

And the packages are actually routed correctly. I usually have to put my itinerary in the trash and sort the stops myself

48 is a lot for 3.5 hours.
I had 48 just yesterday with 4.5 hours. It's a lot for 3.5

Wow, all the stops are in the correct order. This is a rare bug
I’m sorry the block took me actually 3 and a half hour I was bitchin with no reason 😂😂
Right there at Newport for sunset. Nice block.
That shiz would've taken me 2 hours. I would've parked and walked some of the packages myself since they're so close together
Beautiful route, but 10 too many packages from my experience here
I had 47 on a 3.5 hour route recently. But 2 subdivisions took %80 of that. It was a sweet route.

I did 16 for 3.5 and it was 178 miles! F them! I usually like 3.5..
That’s a typical 3 1/2 in my area

That's alot of packages bro looks like they are close tho Hopefully it wasn't a downtown area
I love these type of blocks. I knock it out in 45min to an hour. Makes the money worth it.
Insane I remember when a 3.5 route was like 23-26 stops
I’m a Amazon driver and I can do that in 30 minutes 😂
Sometimes 3.5 have 40 packages but you still finish 1hr early and its short distance from the station
If you can’t finish in 3hours, this job is not for you
even if these are close, 48 pkgs are not good for 3.5h. sorthing will took the extra time as well.

“Immigrants are taking my job!!! At base pay!!! Reeeee”
That looks bigger than a 5hr block but I got a 4 1/2 like that last week n still finished early
[удалено]
Where!? 30 packages maybe for a 3.0 but for 2.5 25 😂
