[QUOTE="4on3off, post: 4623951, member: 82883"] I've been at my DSP for about a year and a half, we deliver from Rockford IL to the Chicago suburbs up to the Wisconsin border. We were are at 16/hr but some people like me just got the class C and started driving step vans/package cars and were thinking we should see a decent raise for that - apparently Amazon only wants to cover a 50cent raise for them - lol. Most routes are 95% residential, busy days are 240 stops/ 350+ packages (most I've seen around peak). We are supposed to "max out" at 200 stops, but last year amazon added a grouping system where if a house is within a certain radius of another its grouped and counted as one stop to circumvent the max. Slow days like around now can be 80-100 stops/150-200 packages or less. Heard someone got 20 the other day. Rural routes are all over the place depending on how many are actually in the sticks vs towns but maybe 130 stops / 150 miles. Benefits are all over the place depending on the DSP and its very rare to find a DSP that pays for the route and not hourly because they get destroyed with accident costs and tows especially in the winter.
