[QUOTE="amazondriverdude, post: 4120777, member: 77254"] I can only tell you how my DSP works: 1) The classroom training is like 2 or 3 days and it's run by Amazon, not the DSP. The on the road training is about 2 or 3 days and it's pretty basic. My DSP basically has 4 or 5 trainers and they are usually the more outgoing people. My trainer never let me drive, he just taught me the basics and I was off on my own. I had 7 years of driving/delivering exp. so I picked it up pretty quickly. 2) The dispatchers are fine. All we need from them is our route and the keys/gas card. I rarely communicate with them. Our drivers mostly get frustrated at the Amazon workers who load their carts wrong or mislabel :censored:. 3) I've only heard of two people getting fired in my two months at my DSP. One guy got canned for getting into several shouting matches with a dispatcher and the other because he called off 6 days in a row. LOL There's lots of kids in their 20's working at DSP's so I'm assuming there's plenty of nonsense going on behind the scenes. Probably lots of no shows on weekends that gives the dispatcher an anxiety attack. If I was a DSP owner I would try to stick with people over 30 years old who had some delivery background besides the gig app type of jobs. Good luck, I'm sure you'll have lots of fun dealing with irresponsible people. LOL [/QUOTE]
