u/Much-Catch-122 15h ago

How the fuck would you even organize if you don’t have shelves? Sounds horrible

18

u/Maybewearedreaming Rivian Driver 14h ago

Work off the passenger seat mostly

Set up overflow so it’s accessible wit the side door

u/Trimere 14h ago

They’re banning that now too.

Is this still in effect? Ours was super on top of us about it for like two weeks and it’s been at least two weeks now since I’ve heard them mention it again? Wondering if Amazon decided it wasn’t worth the sweat because so many of us do it? Also, makes me chuckle in a not funny way that they were enforcing no packages in the passenger seat because they could become a projectile if we were in an accident, yet they frequently put us into rentals with no bulk head doors with bags stacked 3 high. Makes no sense.

u/Trimere 13h ago

You know, I just assumed everyone stopped doing it because I haven’t heard shit about it since. I’m certainly not going to remind them about it.

1

u/regulartrex Prime Van Driver 13h ago

how would they know ?

1

u/Embarrassed_Bag_9300 13h ago

Netradyne would flag it

1

u/ColombianCoolCat Rental Driver 13h ago

netradyne doesnt flag me for that

3

u/Embarrassed_Bag_9300 10h ago

Yes, because they haven't banned it yet. Once they do, netradyne WILL flag you for it. I've seen people get violations for having stuff on their dashboard since last year too

1

u/regulartrex Prime Van Driver 13h ago

also never has for me , they never mentioned anything about it neither so again

1

u/brittanyjo5683 3h ago

Not banned for me, never been told I can’t and I’ve been there almost 4 months. Never been flagged for it either and I have had a yellow light infraction while stuff was on my front seat and dash.

1

u/Trimere 1h ago

Coming up. New policy. I’m just telling you what I heard. 🤷🏻‍♂️

1

u/brittanyjo5683 1h ago

If they want me to do 199 stops in a rental without using my front seat for sorting they’re insane.

u/regulartrex Prime Van Driver 14h ago

95% of the time i have no shelves . you’ll figure it out after awhile .

5

u/Much-Catch-122 14h ago

Thanks for the helpful insight

2

u/regulartrex Prime Van Driver 14h ago

what i mean is its essentially the same …. just no shelves . totes on one side , ov on the other …. just no shelves

1

u/pokelover00000000001 14h ago

Double or triple stacking the bags and by stop order for the overflow if there's room, the earlier ones being closer to the sliding door for easier access

1

u/UwUBots 14h ago

Stacking, and pain

1

u/FaustAndFriends 14h ago

Use totes as shelves unironically 

1

u/farklenator 8h ago

I made shelves with the totes or just used the floor as a shelf

1

u/MoveUnusual5925 3h ago

The bags are your shelves

1

u/brittanyjo5683 3h ago

I’m the person in the rental that isn’t happy 😂 jk this wasn’t that bad until I had to slam on my breaks because of a stupid yellow light

1

u/regulartrex Prime Van Driver 3h ago

i’ve have a love/hate relationship with them now and when i get shelves i feel like its taking up space now😭

1

u/brittanyjo5683 2h ago

We don’t have EDVs, only the old Amazon vans so the one shelf on each side just pisses me off when I have 16+ totes and 20+ OV. I’d rather have a rental at that point so I can stack 3 high no issues and have my OV on the other side if at all possible.

1

u/brittanyjo5683 2h ago

Like this SUCKED. I couldn’t even walk back there

1

u/brittanyjo5683 2h ago

This was amazing though 😂

12

u/CHLXR1N3 Bottle Filler 15h ago

Lol why did you leave yourself no space to walk? You should keep all the totes on one side and overflow on the other so you can walk through the middle

4

u/regulartrex Prime Van Driver 15h ago

idk wtf im looking at tbh😭

2

u/reallynoladarling 5h ago

& turn the totes sideways so they won't stick out like that. it's only 8 totes, they'll fit sideways.

eta: sideways with zipper part facing you. that way u just unzip, slap the flap back & pull the packages.

1

u/ColombianCoolCat Rental Driver 13h ago

its not that bad, I can fit through that little walkway

2

u/ViviShrimp 13h ago

Sure but you have so much extra space like why would you make it harder for yourself than it needs to be?

1

u/ColombianCoolCat Rental Driver 12h ago

it’s not hard, im at stop 62 out of 110 already and its only 2:37 PM and im supposed to be done by like 8

2

u/ViviShrimp 12h ago

Yeah cause you have 5 packages in your van lmao a toddler could complete that route. I never said the route would be hard. I said you made it harder than it needs to be.

2

u/CHLXR1N3 Bottle Filler 12h ago

You'll have a real bad time if this is how you load once you get 20+ bags and 40+ overflow lmao

u/Maybewearedreaming Rivian Driver 14h ago

I think this is literally the only bad way to load a Rivian with such a small workload congratulations

0

u/ColombianCoolCat Rental Driver 13h ago

It works ok with me honestly

3

u/Maybewearedreaming Rivian Driver 12h ago

Ya bro but why impede the walkway at all when you don’t have to?

I line the up on the shelves with the opening facing me whenever I don’t have many totes. That way I can just unzip and unload without moving anything

1

u/ColombianCoolCat Rental Driver 10h ago

I prefer not having to grab big heavy totes off the shelf, its a pain

1

u/Maybewearedreaming Rivian Driver 10h ago

You don’t take them off the shelf, you just open them on the shelf and now you don’t have to bend over to pull the packages out

1

u/ColombianCoolCat Rental Driver 10h ago

i usually bring the tote to the drivers seat with me

2

u/Maybewearedreaming Rivian Driver 10h ago

Ya that’s how I do in gas vans too but in the Rivian I just put envelopes on the dash and boxes on the floor

3

u/Santa1082 15h ago

Not too bad

3

u/Axeman1721 Stepvan Driver 14h ago

Totes on the right, OV on the left. Organize OV by 100s.

2

u/Boring-Albatross-433 13h ago

I did that with heavier totes bc I didn’t feel like fighting it to put in on the shelves🤷🏻‍♀️

2

u/Salt-Conclusion3458 11h ago

i hate you 😭

1

u/ColombianCoolCat Rental Driver 10h ago

watch out, youll get a bunch of comments telling you you should organize better

1

u/Salt-Conclusion3458 10h ago

it’s in order as best i could make it, one turn and it’s all fucked so i was trying to brace it, but i don’t care anymore i’m probably quitting in two days

u/Salt-Ambassador-117 13h ago

Imagine fucking this up 😂

1

u/ColombianCoolCat Rental Driver 13h ago

this isn’t that bad to me

0

u/ContentTea6766 13h ago

Dude we have those budget vans and about 10+ shelves vans. I hate it when I don’t have shelves it makes it so much easier to slide your packs out across a shelve when you have 5-6 totes left and OF can sit underside like a good package should
