At least now, you're being compensated much more than your former DSP subcontractor, eh?

So all was amazon or half? Pick one
Now that you mentioned it, you’re absolutely right. I didn’t see a single one today and I normally see at least 5 different ones daily.

20 NDA stops daily
There were plenty of them out there in my area. Their warehouse is right down the street from our hub and we use the same road to get to the highway. This morning that road was a backup of Amazon vans and brown trucks and I wondered why. Got further up the road and saw that a transit bus had smashed into the back of one of the white vans.
Anyhow I did notice that there were less Amazon delivered packages than usual today. Usually there's plenty of them littered at some of the same houses I have a stop at. Seemed like Amazon gave most of the stuff to us instead today. Looking at my truck this morning, if I removed all the Amazon packages I think there was only a couple hours worth of work in there total.
Wondering how January is gonna be. I imagine Amazon should be able to deliver most of their own stuff since their volume should be much lighter than peak. Which means our trucks will look pretty damn light. Are we gonna see some 2008-2009 type route cuts in the beginning of the new decade?

In our area, FEG will not catch up till after the New Year. They are a week to 10 days behind and have been making the evening news regularly.
We are behind at at least one of our buildings, but for whatever reason, have not made the news.
I went by our building at 1900 and there was still cars out. Volume wise, we were not down that much from Friday.

They do not deliver in any of my building's delivery area. We are too rural and too far from a distribution center.

AND THAT’S THE BOTTOM LINE
I have two apartment complexes on my peak route and the last two days were incredible. Quadruple the volume from last year (I did the same route) and it was 80% Amazon. It literally looked like I was working for Amazon wheeling all those damn brown and blue boxes around

That's still true. 10% of our revenue, but 25% of our volume, and .0000000000001% of our profit, if not a loss.

Didn't see any Amazon vans either. They took a big dump in our hub with most of our routes going out with 12+ hours dispatch, package cars all filled with Amazon. center manager calls me and asks if he should send help I said nah I'm good. I was the last one to put my Diad in the slot at 22:47. I'm taking every crumb that falls off the table.

I saw one Amazon van and he had less than 150 stops. I dont understand why we are kissing the ass of a competitor who is actively trying to steal pickups and pays crap for our services. We saved them this year.
