Amazon doesn’t test for weed in their drug test panel for warehouse workers so maybe they don’t for their drivers either?
I’d think it’s a DOT panel that automatically included it but who knows when you are king. |

Are you looking to be friends with them, or do just need your packages?
I don't even see Amazon guys. I come home from work and there are boxes stacked on my porch. |

Amazon dude face planted on my front deck last week. He didn’t use the handrail going up the steps, he instead came at the stairs from the side. Broke two boards and fell on his face. Camera recorded every bit of it. He finally stood up, cussed the stairs and waddled off. I laughed extra hard.

All of the Amazon drivers I've seen in my neighborhood driving the gray Amazon marked vans have been ok. Mostly younger guys but they've been friendly enough and respectful. There was one guy driving a white box truck that had the music turned to 11 but I assumed he was a contractor.

They are pretty sketchy looking compared to the UPS guys.

They don’t hire for professionalism. Is it a warm body that can drive and will accept the abuse for the pay? Hired!
Be happy they are driving around DELIVERING packages for an honest paycheck and not TAKING them. |

Amazon opened a delivery hub and there's an explosion of blue amazon vans. Used to be when I went to work I saw a big line of UPS trucks coming up the same highway from their hub. Now you can watch the UPS and Amazon trucks go up the same highway at the same time, lots of Amazon trucks.
I guess the drivers are younger and mostly black around here. I didn't smell them or hear their music. Beyond saying Hi or telling them were some address is I haven't talked to them [shrug] seem like nice young guys and girls. |

Why does it matter?
As long as your package arrives who cares who delivers it? Or do you prefer a certain type of person to be handling your packages? |

All of the drivers for Amazon that have come to my house have been pretty white gals in their 20s-30s. Perhaps it’s your location.

Because UPS drivers are employees of a company that have to uphold certain standards.
On the other hand it seems the Amazon drivers are contractors and therefore don't. I'm guessing there is lax enforcement of standards. https://www.detroitnews.com/story/business/2021/05/05/drivers-dont-work-amazon-but-company-has-lots-rules-them/4955413001/ |

Quote HistoryQuoted: At least they are working. I worked with a plumbing crew during the summer in HS for a few years. met at 7am to get going, they smoked 1 J, then on our was back to the shop after quitting time, each smoked another J. They didn't screw around during the day, did their work. I guess the THC let them stay on task I really think capitalism should start to get with the program and looking at every drug as a potential way to enhance the work athsmophere |

They also have a hard time reading delivery instructions, and signs explicitly stating “Dogs are contained by invisible fence, do not enter property”
With a different driver every time, it’s lead to many amusing moments on the security cameras. Those clowns must not receive any instruction on how to deal with dogs. |

Quoted: I love my UPS dude. He is clean cut. Polite. Don’t blast rap music. Doesn’t stink like weed. Been on my route for years. Amazon Prime drivers. Blasting rap music from the vans. Smell like weed. Rude. Different driver everyday. Some look like they just got out of prison. I hate it. Why do you care? Are you going to invite them in for imitation crab meat then suck their dick? They drop off your package and are gone in 10 seconds. Good GOD some of you guys need to get a life and get off GD 24/7. |
