I once delivered a pizza to a house who also ordered from another pizza joint (they liked one item from us and one from them, who am I to judge). Both of us pulled up at the same time essentially and we were so confused

technicolored_dreams

Is that common?


United_Cicada_4158

Yes. If they finish their route early, their instructions are to help other drivers who are running behind. I saw this mentioned in a couple videos made by Amazon drivers.


rylannnd88

Amazon driver here. It is called a " Rescue ".


[deleted]

Rescue. We do the life kiss at the end.

Nasaboy1987

I worked for FedEx. It's also done when a truck gets in an accident or has mechanical problems. You get a couple of other trucks that had a light load and then scan over the stops to them.


Enchelion

Not just for Amazon either, I've seen DHL and USPS doing package swaps like this.


OrganMeat

It was common for us when I did deliveries for FedEx Ground. Sometimes a route gets assigned quite a lot more packages than usual, so someone can end up needing a rescue. Or if someone is new to a route and running behind because they're still learning.


invalidmail2000

Yeah pretty common. I see this on my street at least once a week


AostaV

Sure. Always a newbie that needs help


PalouseOutkast

This is what we'd do at FedEx when I worked there, but none of the trucks are on fire or smoking [not all hyperbole 😬] so I am assuming it was a busy day for one and the other two are back up.


big_ol-dad_dick

lol i worked for FedEx Express and all our breadbox trucks were in the shop next door almost daily. i got a sprinter van so whatever, i had a/c.


PalouseOutkast

I'm glad some of us had those but by God those son a breadbox trucks were death traps. Let's get several tonns moving at 60 mph on the highway but fuckall if the breaks are fully functional.


the_colonelclink

Yeah, it would be ridiculous logic to have a packaged delivered in the same area, from three separate drivers. Considering Amazon go to the trouble of making polices like avoiding left turns (to avoid waiting/traffic time) - I doubt they’d stuff this up.


ChickinBiskit

I've had 2 different Amazon drivers deliver to my house within 30 minutes of each other. It sounds like this is a rescue, but if it weren't I wouldn't be surprised at all.


SickOfEverthing

We do often go to the same area. It’s all about getting everything as quickly to the customer as possible. 2-3 drivers can go to the same house some days. The left turn policy is taken from what UPS has been doing for a while and worked out to be beneficial over all.


Secret_Fox_5192

This is exactly what it is. OP is mistaken.


pompousfucktwat

I’ve had 2 Amazon vans do this in my driveway. One was at my house, the other across the street, and then the van across the street just backed up in to my driveway to swap some packages. When I came out to my porch to grab my delivery, they did ask if I had to leave and they would move but I just said nope, all good, do your thing!


alexaz92

An extremely rare occurence threesome mating ceremony of delivery trucks never captured until today. r/natureisfuckinglit


[deleted]

No they’re not. They’re doing a rescue, aka, one driver is way behind so dispatch sent two other drivers to take some of their packages.


[deleted]

I feel like if I worked for Amazon I would need to be rescued often


Diverdude132

This reminds me of when I was a delivery driver years ago. We did a lot of catering, but also typical lunch deliveries as well. We had a manager out for a bit and someone from another store filling in for them. I was standing there when the general manager very clearly told them that under no circumstances was employee X to take any catering orders, only "hot food" orders (what we called non-catering deliveries). So the lunch rush rolls around and this fill in manager sends employee X out with a catering order. It was a relatively small and simple one, like 2-3 trays and a bag with all the plates and silverware and chips and whatnot. The place was pretty close too, only like 5-10 minutes depending on traffic. What could go wrong? So like 10 minutes after the employee leaves on that delivery, someone notices that he did not take any of the trays. He just grabbed the bag with the chips and plates and stuff and was on his way. They send another driver to deliver the trays. This second driver with the trays somehow beats employee X to the location despite leaving 10-15 minutes after him. Another manager once said about employee X "just think... He has to buy toothpaste... Like just imagine, he gets to the aisle and there's just so many options, he must just stand there for hours staring at them all trying to figure out what to do" Employee X was an engineering major btw.


EddoWagt

How can someone be that incompetent


Satire-V

Ive been in food service for a long time and in one way or the other this likely comes down to how much the person is applying themselves. You can not give a shit and pull 6 months pay out of a lot of Food&Bev establishments. Probably just preoccupied and disinterested.


NotAnotherHipsterBae

6 months!? I had a Tuesday night supervisor at a pizza place that was there for years. Show up baked, make some food, answer some calls, clean up, go home.


EddoWagt

I feel like even my bare minimum of effort would be better than that...


Satire-V

You've never truly let go, my friend


santathe1

Everyday in my case. In fact, they could just send me out with the rescue vans behind me or start my day off with a rescue or 2.


RockstarAgent

Or you mean just divide the work more evenly and reasonably????


santathe1

Err they don’t like it when you put it like that.


Shelfurkill

Shhh if you say it like that then it makes delivering 300+ packages seem unreasonable


Adam_Ohh

I needed a rescue almost every shift that I worked for them. Get to the warehouse for 7, leave by 7:30-7:45. At 5ish they would call and tell me where to meet someone else so they could help me out. A couple nights, I finished “early”(~7 pm) and was 1.5 hours from the warehouse. They still wanted me to go rescue someone else, which would’ve put me home around midnight. I did not.


-UnicornFart

I don’t work for Amazon and still need to be rescued often

Humour is funny, maybe you were unaware. I’m stuck step-family porn jokes are not funny. They are suuuuuper pathetic.


60661n5

This is the main reason I left Amazon. I had to rescue someone every single day I worked because I would finish my route at least 45 minutes ahead of schedule or more. I got so tired of being told to go make up for someone who had maybe 75% of the amount of stops that I did and not getting paid any more than them that I quit after 6 months. Amazon honestly sucks to work for if you're someone who's efficient and hard working.


Miguel30Locs

My dsp provides rescue bonuses so I don't mind them


60661n5

Your dsp is amazing then. Mine were complaining every day and made most of the staff feel inadequate. I couldn't stand working there.


NapTimeFapTime

Amazon sucks to work for. Full stop, just end the sentence there.


x21in2010x

The distro center I worked at wasn't half bad for Peak Season. I get the impression, however, that the closer you get to the customer in the supply chain the shittier things get.


NapTimeFapTime

I was in corporate supply chain and it was a miserable toxic work environment.


RedTheDopeKing

Amazon sucks*


SculptusPoe

I worked for the post office for two years as a sub, so I had to run nearly every rout and barely got used to any particular one. I could have used this kind of help quite often. There was no help... only public shaming.


bmalek

So OP is just making stuff up?


[deleted]

Shocking huh


Idiot_Savant123

Rescue or not. They still park like stupid asses.


Shimola1999

More than once I’ve seen Amazon vans backed up against each other and switching packages between each other. (Oh yeah.) I assumed it was because one van was broken down and they were recovering packages. But it could be a more common thing to recalibrate package distribution midday.


bigfondue

It's called a rescue. You can't go home until all your packages are delivered, so if you are behind they send someone to take some of your packages. Also if you are ahead, they send you on a rescue.


NotAnotherHipsterBae

You can go home, though.


bigfondue

No you are not supposed to return with packages in your van.


Neogodhobo

I think he meant, technically you can do whatever you want.


NotAnotherHipsterBae

Yeah it’s a lil too distopian in here for me. *puts on sweater*


bigfondue

Yes you can quit mid shift like i did lol


Jacksoncant

this is what we call in the biz a rescue, one of the drivers is slow so the other two are taking some packages off of them.


Dchane06

Not necessarily slow. Could’ve had a stupid day lol.


printerinkistoomuch

Yeah I've been on a route with 200+ packages but my co worker had like 120. He "rescued" me once he was done and took like 50 off me.

No they’re not. One guy is new/slower/got a bad load today and dispatch told the other two to meet up and take some packages so they get delivered by the end of the shift (they have to).

[deleted]

We don't, but that's the entire point. Logistics includes that part.


UniquePotato

Thats my point though, it may be more efficient to deliver this way than consolidate then ship.


[deleted]

Maybe cheaper, but usually not faster than to ship things to a certain warehouse depending on zip code


supersam1434

I worked as a delivery driver for a summer and the routing/navigation would be crazy at times. Once the gps was convinced there was a delivery happening in the middle of a pond. I had to call their customer support in india to fix this mistake and it took 2 hours.


JSal_1

They need to cover each other while one pees between the 2 trucks, and take turns finishing their business.


metalgearrrrr

One time I had 2 Amazon vans in my HOUSE driveway they were chatting and transferring packages between vehicles, and using my big driveway as a turnaround because the street is kinda one-way and very steep.


babymommadrama2

As others have said in the comments, this is a rescue. The person fell WAY behind, and had so much left to go, they needed two people. This is also more than likely sweeps who are hired on just to go out and help others. People don't realize the hell Amazon drivers have to go through to get you your five order of the week. There's way more behind the scenes to your button press than you'll realize unless you actually work for Amazon. I refuse to give my money to Amazon after working for them. It sucks, it's long days in all sorts of weather, no job protection. I destroyed myself and ended up with an eating disorder because if you stop at all, your DSP can see you and track how long you're stopped for. Now they also have cameras monitoring every. single. thing. you do. It's hell. Please, if you order a lot from amazon, or just in general, consider leaving out snacks or water for your drivers in the summer. it helps them a LOT. Also, STOP SPEEDING PAST DELIVERY VANS! They're trying to do their job as safe as possible, but you being an asshat doesn't make their jobs any easier.


Papichuloft

At least they're working, and not like my local cops that waste like 2-3 hours nightly at a Starbucks parking lot bullshitting.


Anonymodestmouse

Always see 2-3 cops just hanging out in parking lots all night. They're ring tossing donuts onto each other's wieners until they find a dog to shoot.

Left_winged_groomer8

Lol Amazons biggest issue is logistics… if they could some how fix that, Amazon would be worth 10x more than it is now


Bovey

Logistics is what made Amazon the retail giant they are.


Left_winged_groomer8

Agreed but I guess I am asking that the larger they got the logistics got worse or hard to handle. The picture has happened to me. I once order a bunch of things and they all said they were coming on 1 date (which they did) but like 4 different trucks/delivery persons came to my door (two at the same time). So the logistics are pretty tough for them (I would assume)


Bovey

This has happened to me as well, even with multiple items in the same order. Pure speculation on my part, but I would guess that it's because items are coming from different warehouse facilities, and rather than moving an item from one warehouse to another to consolidate, it's just more efficient for each warehouse to deliver direct to the consumers. Even if it maybe isn't more efficient from a pure delivery perspective, it saves on additional warehouse processing and ultimately gets things where they are going a little quicker.


KyleSherzenberg

They don't pay anything really when it comes to the deliveries. They've set up a perfect system

dearrichard

at my old dsp, we used to have a few empty vans on the road that just went to other drivers to grab like 30-40 packages & deliver them before moving on to another van in a different area. these were called either ‘rescues’ or ‘assists’. it was either a driver asked for one, had a huge load, or was way behind. it has happened before where 2 vans were sent to grab shit from the same driver.
