I had a friend suggest this job, $15/hour 4 days a week 10 hour shift. Here is Grand Rapids MI, Delivering for Amazon since it just started over the winter of  2018-19. Amazon hires CNC to Manage drivers. So you work for CNC who works for Amazon.

At the time everyone drives U-haul vans, that get stuck in the winter, often since its Rear wheel drive and they do not have as of yet enough Amazon vans for everyone.

Amazon training tells you one way of doing things, safely. CNC lead drivers tell you basically don't pay attention to that, go as quick as you can, but of course you can't be caught talking like that around amazon employees because of disciplinary actions.

I was told by Lead Dispatch during my interview shifts are 10 hours. That was a misdirect, its closer to a 12-14 hour shift. Since turn over is extremely HIGH. Typical day, you arrive by 7:45am, get your route and van, 8am have a 5 minute meeting, your new so your in the last "wave" of vans, 9:30-45AM after waiting 2 hours you get to pull in to load your van, takes about 20-30 minutes, others help if needed. You Leave about 10am to FINALLY start your 10 hour shift. That is right, your actual shift does not start until you leave for your first stop! OH JOY!

Basically the entire job is you getting your route done as quick as you can,  you always get a different route, while dealing with the less than accurate GPS Flex APP you use, avoiding dogs since people are trashy and sometimes let them run lose.
Most skip the paid breaks and lunch to just get done faster, and home. Some overtime is permitted. So its basically 7:45am to 8 or 9pm at night depending on how fast you are, oh and weather... Don't forget, safe too!

In the winter sometimes you won't get home til midnight, since your van got stuck and had to wait for a tow...

Qualifications to drive for CNC or Amazon? Being a warm body to fill a seat. If you have a Drivers license, and can pass a urine test and background check, your hired. You get paid weekly.

In all honestly, Amazon is just foaming at the mouth for the driver less automated vans to arrive, and replace drivers.

First of all the management stinks! They lack common sense! No one listens, management doesn’t care for the safely and well being of their employees... walking in for your interview is literally as easy as 123 haha they lack the proper  knowledge needed to insure they’re hiring the right candidate legit when I went in for an interview forget about how long it took for someone to let me in the building! I sat down in front of said person he started of but giving me ideas of what I’d be facing day to day not sure of how to say it so I started interviewing him haha. Got the job immediately they unknowing  whether I was fit or not I was but besides the point! Fast forward to the work environment( dirty environment, vans look like they been in a war zone, the vans inside are filthy no one ones how to clean up after them selves it’s seriously horrible I wish them nothing but the best and hope they get there... together! Maybe?!?! Oh another big problem if you finish your route late you are instantly added to the hated list, they also give me being a new drive one of the biggest loads instead of given it to the more experienced drivers and never sent me help when I truly needed it!!! If you stop moving for 15 minutes to take a break lunch what have you they start blowing up your phone why aren’t you driving why aren’t you doing your job etc... you tell them I’m taking a break eating my lunch whatever they don’t want you to take breaks at all!

CNC is trying their best but no one listens to what you have to say and far as changes go they either come far to slow or not at all. they expect you to work your butt off and think the pay is enough motivation to keep you around after they mess up. the 150 is a lie you get pay like 120 after tax its not 150. amazon has to much control over what goes on and telling everyone how to do there job and screws everything up. this job use to be fun and i use to say HEY come do this job it's great but that has changed. gone from working 7 to 4 to 7-8 long days for no reason then they give a new shift evening shift.... gone from 11 to 4 to 11 to 6-8 then they suddenly say they taking it away the changes are not good changed and CNC is trying but I can't say go here if you want to have a good time anymore if you just need the money by all means come here deal with there bull but if you trying to enjoy yourself a little while at work can forget it this job will get on your bad side after a while but all in all that just might be me i'll be honest. IF you can do this job do it by all means if you can tough it out more power to you but the turn over rate is crazy cause no one wanna do it and at first i didn't get it till i started to see it now it's your turn to make a judgement call

A lot of people crying about the job. But at least in my experience, i knew mostly what i was getting into. 
You are expected to make 150-200 stops per route.
Routes can be good or really bad. Its a draw. 
Most of the dispatchers don't know what they are doing, but it really isn't as bad as some people say. 
Yes, sometimes you get stuck in some nasty weather... so does USPS, FedEx, the pizza delivery driver and even grandma on Sunday morning if she gets caught in the rain on her way to church. 
The vans aren't the greatest, but that isn't the companies fault (mostly). Blame your fellow drivers who can't clean up after themselves and drive like idiots and hit stuff. 
There are also occasionally issues with dogs. I have been attacked by one myself. It's to be expected working in this type of work to have a run in like that now and again. Just have to learn to keep your eyes open and refuse the delivery if it is not safe to do so.
Is this a long term job for most people? Absolutely not. 
But $15/hr is better then minimum wage and you don't have to deal with work drama once you are on the road.

In my experience, the people who complain the loudest about the job are the ones that are taking their time walking to the houses and don't have any sense of urgency in the job. THIS IS A FAST PASSED JOB.

The managers have a serious LACK OF COMMUNICATION. the whole process to get hired was a month and they would not get back to you if you dont constantly nag them. I did my drug test and didn't hear back from them for over a week but they recieved the results within 2-3 days. I kept bothering them to check for my drug test results because I was eager to start this job. They just said " you passed ill move a long with your profile. AGAIN MY DRUG TEST WAS ALREADY SUBMITTED and if i didnt get back to them they would have never contacted me back. Fast forward to first day of training, Out of the group i was training with, I was the only one who did not receive a tour around the station to know exactly where I would go once I start my first day. Keep in mind I did not meet the manager yet. Once I completed training I was still the only one who has not met the manager or do not know when I was suppose to go back in. the trainer told me " they are busy in meetings ". I tried texting and contacting them to learn more about the day i was supposr to start and they never got back to me. again LACK OF COMMUNICATION. then this weekend they had the nerve to tell me " I did a no call, no show " like ???? they never told me what day, time, or where I was suppose to go. Long story short, your better off driving for ups, a different amazon partnered company, or even uber. don't waste your time with this unprofessional company.

I enjoyed my time with CNC. Most of my issues were because of things Amazon made them do, or issues that happened at the station, such as the workers setting things up incorrectly. 
Anyway, the job isn’t easy, but it is simple. Being a driver in Illinois, you’ll be exposed to typical Illinois weather at all times of the year; snowy, icy winters, hot and humid summers, etc. The routes were usually built pretty well, and we were given good enough time to load up our vans. Dispatchers and managers are usually pretty flexible with things like schedules, injuries, and whatever else you may have issues with. As I said earlier in this, most of the issues I had were mostly because Amazon just likes to control everything they can. That aside, communication between dispatchers and drivers can be questionable at times (I always felt like I had to talk to multiple drivers about the same thing to get the answers to questions I had since one dispatcher might have a different answer compared to another, etc). Overall, great people to work with, but the job isn’t for the faint of heart, especially when the weather gets bad.

The day would start with a standup outside with casual moving management. The fleet is below average with doors, lights, and emergency brakes that don't work correctly ( but please keep in mind that the company is safety obsessed). Pay scale is a joke considering you would have to work a full 10 hours to make any money. The incentive pay is a joke please check your time and don't plan on finishing until at least 7pm. Lots of traffic, apartments and barriers in  durham with grouped stops. So 100 stops is really not 100 stops it's always more than shown on device. But in a place where drivers are a dime a dozen they don't care about anything except the bottom line. Basically a rookie starter company that sells you a hope filled dream in reality doing nothing to make the company nor processes better. But welcome to the DSP side of amazon

CNC leadership is a professional group. I get they have a job to do and have high expectations for employees. I'm here to tell you, if you get the work done, you are treated with dignity and respect. CNC is a group of professionals, they do not have favorites and make sure all employees are taken care of. 
It's a difficult job. We work out tails off, but leadership recognizes all the employees that perform. Management is always available and they offer training to co-workers that have issues in the field. This is a job that requires constant movement. I'm impressed with the level of dedication from management, they do want people to do well here, it just takes hard work.

un-realistic expectations, they will give you a route and tell you there's 150 stops,when you actually have 180-190stops.they give you un-safe vans to use,bald tires,broken mirrors,etc.......they want you to do 25 or more stops an hr,the only way to do that is to speed and break traffic laws.and  if you don't they call and ask you what's taking so long?  if you speed and run your rear off , and get speeding tickets and get in accidents your their favorite drivers.  If you follow traffic laws and don't get into accidents and go at a pace and are safe they punish you and are put on the un-favorite list. Urine bottles found in vans because can't take anytime to break. Never seen nothing like it. Definitely not worth 15.00 an hr, for the trouble.

I worked for CNC for a little less than two years. The workload was heavy & seemed to only go up. Management has no control over anything. Any pleasant parts of the job Amazon destroyed. By all ratings, I was one of the better drivers on the roster. I was fired for becoming stuck in the mud in a customer's driveway. I was out in a rural area with the houses way off the road, so I had no choice but to go up the driveway. I was fired by management without so much as a conversation. By the way, it was the first time I had ever been stuck in case you were wondering. I worked really hard for these people & they couldn't care less. I would avoid working here or any other Amazon delivery job.
