Last Mile Transportation Systems LLC

Management clearly cares about employees and is always open to ideas for improvement and innovation. Fellow employees are friendly and helpful. It's a fairly new company so everyone is still ironing out the best way to do things but it's also exciting to be part of the growth. As far as I know, the starting pay is a dollar more than most, if not all of the other DSPs in the station.

The job itself can be relaxing many days and stressful others. That will be true for any Amazon DSP you work for. It all depends on where your route is. Downtown areas with lots of apartments require a lot more brainpower and adaptation throughout the day than residential suburban-type areas. But even if you get one of the harder routes, the more you do it, the better you get at it and the easier it gets. And if you do get a hard route, management will understand if it takes a little more time than a regular route. Just be sure you're always looking for ways to make it easier on yourself this time or the next time you do an area (for example, if you get jammed up in traffic on a certain street, try to get that street done and out of the way earlier in the day when there is less traffic the next time around).

It's certainly a physical job. There is a lot of walking and climbing stairs. The majority of the packages are small and light, but you do usually get a heavy bag of dog food or some other items on the heavier side each day, but I don't think they ever exceed 50 pounds. There is a dolly in each van which helps a lot. (the last company I worked for made you provide your own.) As physical as it is, you don't have to be an Olympian to do well. Organization and adaptability are the keys to getting done in time.


The more adaptable and problem-solving oriented you are, the better it will be for you.

Overall it's a good company to work for. The bosses are good people and will go above and beyond for you, which should motivate you to avoid sloppy work and go the extra mile to do the job right.

This company is kinda cool.  They're brand new, and are hiring drivers aggressively, so it's a great time to join - if they keep moving on up, they'll eventually need assistant managers etc to manage all the new staff.

When we all meet in the morning (at 7:45am), it's a nice relaxed atmosphere.  We even all do a stretching routine together - I appreciate that, as I'm not 21 years old any more!

Get rid of your gym membership - this is all you need - you need to work hard, fast and smart, but there's a lot of satisfaction to kicking butt all day and finishing all your package deliveries in time, then getting home to collapse on the sofa after a job well done.

I think their interview process could be a bit stricter.  It would weed out potential people who aren't gonna be up to scratch.  If someone acts a little aloof or not fully engaged in the interview, they aren't gonna last in this job, and I think management should pick up on that in people during the interview.  Also, the interview itself was as a group of 5 or 6, and we were only asked one question each "what can you bring to this company".  So, I'd say the interview was too easy - toughen it up, guys!

I think it's a great opportunity for someone coming in to work really hard, get noticed, and then maybe progression could happen from there.

The Pros of working here are they give bonuses during the toughest times of the year (peak season). You also get to pick your schedule that you’re available to work, so that’s always nice. The pay is okay but it should definitely start at $22 considering the work load.

However, The cons are, 

1. If you’re sick and no one can cover your shift, you get written up for it, no matter what, the bottom line is those packages.
I had an accident once, and when I called to inform them about it, the first thing the manager asked me, was “how’s the van?” He didn’t even ask if I was okay. So once again, the bottom line is those packages, not you.

2. If you start working here, be sure to start in the Summer or January so you can catch on quickly and have a few months under your belt to be ready for peak season.

If you start anywhere between October and December, even if you’ve been there for 2 weeks, you will be given 300-400 packages and if you can’t move fast, they will say your performance isn’t good enough to stay (after peak season ends), which is when it’s slower.

They won’t get rid of you during peak season because they need you the most during that time and will tolerate you.

Lastly, HR doesn’t get back to your replies or phone calls until 24-36 hours later. There’s no Union so you’ll always be on the fence when it comes to your job.

I genuinely love working for this company. I love driving, so of course getting paid to be out and about on the road all day is fantastic. Management truly cares about the workforce and does everything in their power to look out for them. They expect you to follow the rules and do your best, but it's a relatively easy job once you get the hang of it. And they'll make sure to notify you if you're doing anything wrong, so you have plenty of opportunities to improve. You get paid per shift as opposed to per hour, so if you finish your 10-hour shift early, you'll still get paid for the whole 10 hours. The workload fluctuates - you can deliver anywhere from under 80 to over 250 packages, depending on the day. The only downside is the dropoff in hours during the less busy seasons. Having a second job lined up during these times might not be a bad idea. But even part-time, this is still a wonderful company to work for!

I worked for another DSP, and this is the most professional, caring, and well run DSP I have ever worked for.  The Owner/Management team are the best.  The Owner passes on his profits in prizes to the DA's that work for him through raffles etc, often giving gift cards away just for naming a sports figure on his wall that we can see through Zoom.  The vans are very well kept, and there is a great working environment with Amazon.  Every single one of the management/non driver crew are very easy to get along with.  And the rest of the drivers are always cheerful.  And we get paid for hours SCHEDULED NOT HOURS WORKED cause we often finish before the scheduled time.

I have only been working here for Last Mile Transportation Systems for the past few months but I have spent the better part of the past two years working for a different Amazon DSP in another city. The job functions were exactly the same at the other contractor that I worked for but my experience couldn’t have been any more different. The owner of the company genuinely cares about his team and makes himself available to talk to us day or night. The company’s management also treats us with a level of respect that I have not experienced at a job ever before. The best part of the company is my co-workers.  Our work can certainly be challenging (It is physically demanding for sure), but the best thing is that we work as a team to get the job done. I have no problem helping one of my teammates because I know that if I ever fall behind someone will be there to help me. 

This company is unlike any I've ever been a part of before.  Everyone from the top down (the owner, the managers, the dispatchers, etc. they all really care).  My safety is their number one priority and the owner and his team go out of their way to make sure that I have everything that I need to be successful at the job.  I've worked places before where I felt like a disposable cog in the machine but this place is just different.  The company goes out of their way to incentivize you to get you job done early by guaranteeing you a 40 hour work week (when you work full time) and when the company has the resources it gives away cash and prizes to the team (I've seen them give away airPods, TV's, $1000.00, someone even won a paid week off and a cruise).   Thank you Last Mile you all are the best!

What can I say? It's a good job to have especially for those looking to stay or be active. The fact that I've already lost some pounds since I started makes me want to keep going! 

The job does require problem solving skills more than just having to deliver to a stop which makes it fun since that means you wouldn't be having a job that is strictly routine (boring). Oh, and before I forget.. the vans have AC!

The Owner and the Manager are always seeking for improvements and are there with open ears to listen for feedbacks or any concern that you may have. They also make sure that their team is well equipped with anything that they need to make their jobs/life easier. You should never have a problem dealing with management, that's for sure!

Overall, I find this to be a fulfilling job and it's hard to complain.

Work-life balance
As long as you request off in advanced (2 weeks) they will give you the time off.

Pay & benefits
Best pay compared to other DSP’s. If you work hard and show up every shift you can get a raise.

Job security and advancement
You can move up in the company and they also offer DOT training if you want to drive the step vans.

Management
The manager and owner are 2 of the nicest people. They reward hard work.

Culture
Very good culture everybody gets along and help out other drivers when they need it.

Overall
This is one of the better company’s I’ve worked for. Management is great and the owner is a very down to earth awesome guy. They reward hard work and do raffles often. The pay is great compared to other DSP’s. As long as you show up everyday and do your job well they will take care of you.

Last Mile is the best company I've ever worked for after many years working. The management? Amazing and caring. The owner? Involved daily and truly dedicated and cares. The job? Fun, a great experience, easy to learn due to amazing training. Great equipment too! They're the first DSP at DAU2 to start the new step-van program, just another way they're ahead and much better than any other DSP at Amazon. They will take care of training you how to drive big trucks if you don't have experience. Come join the company and be a part of this amazing team! The benefits and pay and rewards are beyond phenomenal with great employees from lower level all the way to the top! You will NOT regret working here!
