Prime Beach Delivers - Morning Update Archive
📆 10/27/21 WEDNESDAY UPDATES/ROLL CALL BY 8:30a❗️
Rob here this morning by the way or as you kids say btw. I also do 😊 instead of 😀 sometimes.
as you know…peak is here and ramping up. don’t think because the netradyne call outs are not posted that there are not any. the coaching team is also the recuiting team and is very busy looking for great drivers. if you know anyone that is a great driver…send them our way.
CLUE read yesterdays post. I’m not going to go into what we do wrong today. Wait I can’t help it…I have to say always be safe, and be careful with all the rules of the road that you all know very well. if you don’t…you just don’t care. also, your vans are BIGGER than your car. need I say anymore.
Let’s start everyday with a positive attitude, and do the best job we can…whatever it is we’re doing. Let’s also appreciate everything we have in life instead of complaining. (Nelsa likes what I say that). On that note, most of you work hard as do we. that’s a good thing. we do our best and feel good about it at the end of the day. People see that and it will help you succeed in life. I promise.
We’re here to support you and Amazon. That’s why there are so many things we have to communicate here in the morning. If you feel you missed some posts….you can go back and review them easily at the link http://www.primebeachdelivers.com/dailyupdates/ Have a great day, and we’ll see you out there. ignore the message about the netradyne posts 😉 let’s go number 1
that was supposed to be a : ) above
📆 10/26/21 TUESDAY UPDATES/ROLL CALL BY 8:30a❗️
So, i’m going to REPOST some TIPS that i recently sent one of our soon-to-be TOP PERFORMING new DAs on safe driving –
Here’s a good tip to follow:
Let’s say the van and netradyne aren’t linked 💯 accurate. You can use the second device and turn on the waze app. That will give you a 2nd speed (typically lower left). *the flex app is adding a feature that will show your speed. Drive 5mph UNDER your speedometer.
This way if you’re on the highway and 70 is the limit - don’t drive 70, drive 65 so you create that cushion. ALSO, stay 2 white-line car lengths behind the car in front of you for SAFE DISTANCING. At STOP 🛑, pause one extra second at a complete stop, don’t roll. You literally do not save even 5m off of your route by rolling stop signs.
NEW DAs - we also have a feature where you can read previous posts and highlights - http://primebeachdelivers.com/dailyupdates/
we’d like to get to the day when MORNING UPDATES are really just important updates, not repetitive information each time we have new teams coming on board.
you should also have completed the NEW HIRE POWERPOINT PRESENTATION, for all things PBD. have you? {clue}
REMEMBER: driving 5mph faster or rolling stop signs WILL NOT get you to complete your route faster. REALLY! we’ve tested it. so why do it. no reason.
drive SAFELY. BUCKLE FIRST. SLOW IT DOWN. GET OFF THE OTHER CAR'S 🍑 STOP 🔴, don’t roll
seriously, these tips take NO EXTRA EFFORT. PLUS, it’s the LAW 🚔 🚨
📆 10/25/21 MONDAY UPDATES/ROLL CALL BY 8:30a❗️
i did mean to call out @Andres Sanchez (c’mon! I know someone who was raised old school knows better!) @Ariannis @Roobin Dacilia @Melinda Odum This is not going to cut it. If you’re not sure, talk to @Pbd Coach.
We will not put drivers who are AT RISK on the road.
There are 25+ other drivers who worked yesterday NOT on this list. Which means SAFE DRIVING is not only EASY to follow, but a choice that a DA makes.
Make the RIGHT CHOICE.
Another reminder: you do not earn the extra $120+ salary if you work 3 days. DON’T PUT YOURSELF AT RISK OF BEING DROPPED. AND THAT INCLUDES DAY 1 / FT EMPLOYEES!
{choices}. Which one should you make? The right ones, or the wrong ones? {clue}
Yesterday we kicked off W43 - Believe it or not, only 8 weeks remain of PEAK SEASON!
It’s going to get crazy soon. Volume is going to keep increasing. Off season PBD delivers 5000-6000 pkgs / DMI7 averages 35-40k. it is currently around 45-50k. By thanksgiving / Black Friday / cyber monday That number will start growing to approx 75k!
maybe 80k!
📆 10/24/21 SUNDAY UPDATES/ROLL CALL BY 8:30a❗️
welcome back front end….here’s the sunday update
-we hope this week, we will be posting van assignments in the primbeachdesk room before we have routes…that will allow you to inspect your vans at your start time (9:15) if routes come in late
-we have created a place to see the morning updates so you can go back easily to catch up or refresh. we all need a refresher at times…true? You can go to
http://primebeachdelivers.com/dailyupdates/
everyone take note or netradyne callouts above each morning. if you don’t understand why you’re getting dinged…we’re hear to help…just ask pbdcoach or any of the leadership team.
–we have a lot of new drivers going into the holiday season….EVERYONE though…please….
BE SAFE, BE CAREFUL (with yourself, the people around you, your vehicle, and follow all the policies we all know)
HAVE A GREAT DAY and take a look at the link above…it’s a great place to catch up on updates…let us know if you have suggestions or thoughts. 3…2…1….go.
📆 10/23/21 SATURDAY UPDATES/ROLL CALL BY 8:30a❗️
NO BUENO 👆🏼 👆🏼 @Wilhemson Jean-Pierre @Joshua lane @Jimmy Raphael @Isderson Sylvain
GOOD MORNING EVERYONE!
SAFE DRIVING IS MANDATORY. so that you don’t have to hear the broken record (do y’all even know what that means 😉 ) ahhhh - today’s {clue} *clue is a question or statement that requires a reply of acknowledgment so i know you are actually reading and understand
there are no ways around it. it’s a job that consists of only a few primary functions: - punctuality - safe driving - delivery packages - following procedures if any of those are too difficult, then being a DA is not the right fit for you. so very simple.
NOW, moving along...
Tamara Flanary: 1 (can’t play a broken record)
today wraps up W42. those of you who worked 4-days/shifts of assigned routes will see a $120 bonus applied to payroll (payroll isn’t processed for two more weeks, so it will not show up on your timecard until 11/3) please be sure your timecards are completed, verified, corrected, not missing any punches, changes or adjustments to accuracy, and response to ivana / payroll manager @HR Manager if she has chimed you.

scoop there it is
if you are driving a STEP VAN or RENTAL that was parked in the front of the building, those vans must return to the SAME ROW: SECOND ROW FROM BELVEDERE, HEADLIGHTS FACING THE ROAD, NOT THE BUILDING spots are limited - you must pull the van out, SWAP your car in that spot, and do the same upon return. DO NOT PARK IN OTHER ROWS - either with a van or your car, or you will be towed! at your expense!
*another {clue}
LET’S GET IT!
HAVE A GREAT DAY!!
📆 10/22/21 FRIDAY UPDATES/ROLL CALL BY 8:30a❗️
Good morning everyone Apologies for the delay… Poor Internet here I need an IT guy
hoping everyone is feeling good today! let’s wrap up W42 on a HIGH NOTE! this PEAK season is going to FLY RIGHT BY US!
check out the BULLETIN BOARD for some TIPS on how to AVOID getting stuck. as a general rule, if you are UNSURE OF THE SURFACE IN FRONT OF YOU, STOP, get out and check it out. driving s l o w l y over a soft spot, will not protect you from sinking.
if you aren’t sure, DON’T DO IT.
THANK YOU to those of you who helped out rescuing yesterday. that’s what it’s all about. we are a TEAM. to those of you who refused, we will address privately. to those of you who are thinking about refusing in the future.., if you ‘refuse work’, then you aren’t doing your job and we will not be obligated to continue employment with you. you accepted a position with our company. those are the policies. you were informed in advance. and that’s that.
Safety reminders
01
Your safety is my top priority – and I mean that! Please be aware of your surroundings, drive at or below the posted speed limit, and maintain appropriate following distance between vehicles (1 car length for every 10 MPH when you are traveling in ideal conditions). If roads are wet in your area, you should at least double that following distance. Take it easy, giving yourself plenty of time to stop in case you need to. *
02 Avoid slips, trips, and falls during the rainy season and beyond, with Zappos at Work! Slips, trips, and falls are one of the most common causes of workplace injuries. When delivering, be sure to check the ground and walkways to be sure that no slick areas, trip hazards, or slip risks are around. Did you know all active DAs receive store credit and discounts if you order your slip-resistant, and even steel-toe, footwear through Zappos? For more info, check out this poster.
03 When delivering, try to avoid reversing or entering driveways if you can. If there isn’t a safe place to park on the street out of the flow of traffic, then use the driveway. Only pull in forward if you know you will have a way to turn around without having to reverse back out. Otherwise, reverse into the driveway only as far as needed at a low speed, then walk the rest of the way. This allows you to pull forward back onto the road, keeping you safe and reducing your chances of bumping into objects like mailboxes, gardens, other parked cars, etc. *
04 Stay safe during wet and winter weather by wearing proper clothing and footwear. Layering up with loose fitting clothing and proper outerwear helps you to adapt to conditions if they change during the day. Bringing an extra pair of socks is recommended if you think your feet may get wet at any point. Let me know if you need additional gear before you head out on road.
05 As the days get shorter and the sun sets earlier, be sure to check the Delivery Notes in your Amazon Delivery App so you can be fully focused on your surroundings after exiting your vehicle. Remember: your well-being is the #1 priority; you can always contact me and the “Emergency Help” button in your App if you need additional support. No delivery is worth compromising your personal safety on road. *
*some tips from AMazon’s weekly communication.
HAVE A GREAT DAY!!
📆 10/21/21 THURSDAY UPDATES/ROLL CALL BY 8:30a❗️
i hope everyone is feeling good! Cloudy, but beautiful and breezy today! open up those windows and breathe in the fresh air. it’s good for the soul.
today we’re going to recap some delivery 101 policies.
Amazon’s promise to PRIME customers (some of them even you!) is on the delivery experience. our commitment to Amazon is 💯. if we don’t deliver on that commitment, then Amazon misses their promise.
that’s it. that’s what we do. yes, some policies make it more annoying, but OVERALL, it’s relatively simple. follow the policies as provided, deliver on the promise, we all get rewarded.
relatively simple. follow that SOP (standard operating procedure) and the rest is easy peasy. try to ignore the policies for whatever reason, that’s where you make it complicated. you pick up your packages at the station, scan 💯, delivery 💯 according to policies (customer contact, scan at geo-fence, keep in communication with dispatch, where needed, refresh, refuel, return), and you’re a TOP PERFORMER.
I am BEYOND HAPPY to say that the bonuses that were paid out on this week’s payroll for W34-35 was our HIGHEST YET! OVER $4000 in bonuses to those TOP PERFORMERS who reconized JUST HOW SIMPLE IT IS TO EARN BONUS REWARD $$$
📆 10/20/21 WEDNESDAY UPDATES/ROLL CALL BY 8:30a❗️
a GORGEOUS day in 🌴aradise!
WEEK 41 DSP SCORECARD JUST COMING IN AT FANTASTIC PLUS! Netradyne looked GREAT for most of you, with the exception of a few😡 Netradyne jackpot still a work in progress, but all of the GREAT DRIVERS are going to have a chance at something FANTASTIC. PLUS! check out the 💯 PERFORMANCE SCORECARD later for postings!
PM Dispatch has been logging some new DAs returning to the lot with vehicle damage that was not reported. no matter how minor, ALL VEHICLE INCIDENTS MUST BE REPORTED AT THE TIME OF OCCURRENCE. DO NOT LEAVE THE LOCATION UNTIL YOU SPEAK WITH DISPATCH / MANAGEMENT
trust us - you will not get away with pretending it must’ve happened the day before. then that would mean you don’t do a thorough vehicle inspection. or you’re lying. so please let’s bypass all the nonsense, and notify dispatch.
can someone drop the PBD FICO average please...
In reply to message:we can only lead you to the water… {the answer is the clue}the answer is …but we can’t make you drink it.
PBD FICO 836 @Renee Kaplowitz
thank you @Frank going in the wrong ⬇️ direction
a follow up to the new/old MISSING PACKAGES policy. if it appears a package is missing, bypass the stop (you can mark it missing if it is a group or multi-pkg stop), move on, reattempt if found. at the end of route, if that package is truly missing, post TBA/TOTE # COLOR or screenshot in the PKG ISSUES chime, and MARK MISSING before heading back to RTS.
THAT’S ALL FOR NOW. thank you and have a FANTASTIC PLUS DAY!!
