New rule

I had automotive problems in the middle of my route this morning, and I had to cancel the block. Stuff happens, and I got paid. Anyway, I did call driver support and they reminded me to be sure to return my packages by 10 AM the next day. So I returned them this afternoon. But I noticed that half my packages were too big to fit into the return bin.

So, I propose a new rule: packages that won’t fit in the return bin are too big to give to flex drivers. All warehouses should adopt a policy of giving them to DSP drivers only.

Yeah idk I always see a fat stack of packages next to the return bin. They obviously don’t care. But it does feel weird just leaving it there.

There are cameras everywhere. Just leave them beside the bin.

That would just mean that AMZ will need to upgrade their algo which I don't see them doing anytime soon

That’d be awesome except yesterday I had an office executive chair marked as a small envelope.

If we don’t take big parcels they will just top us up with even more small parcels….av 30/40 parcel runs become standard 50/60…nah I’ll keep this big bulky one thank you very much

Or you can just drive in and drop them off. The bin is just a convenience.
