delivery driver

Front Door Logistics LLC

What is the best part of working at the company?
Nothing to add. Except break room was good

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Dispatcher was always rude on the phone. Was u sympathetic to drivers ordeals and problems. Managers and dispatcher showed favoritism towards certain drivers. Will schedule people for work only to lay them off in front of entire crew. Especially if your are injured on the job. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Environment is not good. It is very difficult to keep up with tasks. When taking a lunch break you're at risk of falling way behind on deliveries. Dispatchers are in sympathetic especially working in the outside elements. With drivers in danger of exposure to heat exhaustion or heat stroke

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
A typical day is showing up having a team meeting in the parking lot you are giving your work phone and keys to the delivery van. You then have to load your van with heavy totes. When doing deliveries a dispatcher will constantly Hound you on your delivery routes making sure you are keeping up with protocol and your quota. If you are unable to keep up with your deliveries you are sent home early so you never actually do a full shift you are lucky if you only do 4 hours

You drive vans and deliver packages in different neighborhoods. The job is what you make of it. 

Typical day is 8-10 hours and you can expect to put in 7-12 miles walking on your route. Management usually honors their word if you need accommodations for your schedule (provided you let them know ahead of time).

Turnover is high and you'll be a veteran in a few months. I would usually listen to audiobooks or tune into whatever sport is going on to get through the day. Work is physical so expect this demand on your body.

Pros - schedule flexibility and full 10 hour days if you rescue and get done early. (Mostly) Independence on the road and you get to be out & about

Cons - physically demanding. Don't expect and career advancement beyond dispatching. Somedays you have to pickup for your coworkers slack. You will get micromanaged, which is a result of the dispatchers/management getting shat on by owner to follow up with drivers.

Overall enjoyed my time here. There are good days, there are bad days. An ok job for someone in their mid-20's looking to get active.

worked there for a little bit over a year.. The work culture can change drastically since management and employees can change at any time. There were good seasons, and some not that good. If you organize yourself you'll do fine out there. Summer's are brutal, so you want to think of solutions for yourself. Get a cooling backpack and take ice and plenty of drinks. Also, use cooling towels and you'll survive the heat. I would recommend working here if you need experience, but don't recommend it during the summer. If you work here, unless they are applying performance bonuses, get good at what you do, but not too good. You will only get more work. Promotions to other positions are a bit of a mystery; it is not merit based. Use it as a stepping stone to somewhere else, don't get stuck here. The people here are easy to get used to; no complaints about that. Overall, I'm grateful for the time I spent and people I met at this company.

The management team is full of incompetent and unprofessional people that you wouldn't want running an errand for you let alone running a business. This was the least satisfying job I've ever had and the money isn't even that good. You'll only be given three 8 hour shifts a week and if you work yourself to death they might give you a fourth 8 hour shift. You'll constantly be working from behind trying to catch up by the end of the day for reasons that are completely out of your hands. They set you up for failure and expect you to pull rabbits out of your hat for them. Daily overtime is a lie. I honestly can't think of one good thing about this job. I dare you to take a job at this place and see for yourself. Turnover is extremely high at this place and most people don't want to work here for longer than a month.

I can confidently say that while the work can be demanding, the team consistently demonstrates professionalism, productivity, and a genuine commitment to supporting one another. The environment is fast-paced and requires independence, critical thinking, and strong analytical skills. Safety is clearly a top priority, and there is a strong sense that the company is always looking out for its employees.

Additionally, the organization offers valuable benefits and clear opportunities for growth, showing a willingness to invest in employees who are equally committed. This role is best suited for individuals who thrive in independent settings and can effectively apply their knowledge and skills to a variety of delivery-related situations.

This company has got to be the worst company I have ever worked for!
They do not care about you, they lie to you about everything. Management are not decent human people. Dispatch is very rude and demonic. They don’t train you at all! On your first day they don’t give you very much time to get driving training you literally get maybe two hours and think you can do almost 200 stops your first day and get mad at you over the littlest things. You don’t get any breaks because it cuts into your delivery time and say you get full time and cut your hours after 3 months and silently fire you with out a good excuse.. moral of the story is stay away from this company. Worst decision you can make!!

This feels unfair because during my interview, there were 3–5 different people switching in and out on Zoom. I had difficulty keeping up because the interpreter kept changing between my interpreter and the other speakers. It made me very confused, and I struggled to follow the conversation clearly. I also turned on closed captions, but they were not accurate.

I want to express that this experience felt like audism, because I was not provided consistent communication access. I did my best to understand, but the rapid changes made it impossible to fully participate in the interview.

They treat you like trash to see how long you will last kind of hoping you quit. Even if you push past this your hours will be cut. This way they don't loose a route and instead preplan it. No breaks or else you won't finish in time. Even in very hot weather they no one really takes them unless forced by amazon through phone.
If you even comeback past 8pm your screwed. Constant lying about the vans being good to go to amazon. Good luck keeping your protein up with 14 mile work days you might end up a stick. Good luck not getting bit by a dog.

All the managers and staff are so disrespectful; they just yell at you and make you feel like you are useless.
Training is bad, trainers do not know how to train. One day of training and then you are on your own, and they expect you to deliver everything by 6pm, which is nearly impossible if you want to follow the rules they tell you, and if you break the rules but get the job done, you still get yelled at or even suspended for the day, or, worst case, just fired.

Idk if just this company is like this or all of them, but for sure, avoid this one at all costs unless you really need the money.

They rush you through training and then start you by yourself on the first day expecting you to average 20 stops per hour. The gps Amazon yes to navigate your route is absolutely trouble and will have you wasting time trying to find out where you are. 

You have to park before you can touch your phone to zoom in and see where the stops or risk a distracted driver infraction. Lots of little stuff that adds up quickly and wastes time. Mandatory unpaid rescues so doing your job well gets you punished. 

Avoid this DSP like the plague.
