Delivering packages for Amazon is a pretty simple gig, but can get stressful depending

on the amount of packages you have to deliver.

Every once in a while you get a single loader which is a phrase we use to say when the

majority of packages that you get in your van are going to a single address.

Of course the company figures out that this is too easy, so they make sure that the drive

to deliver those is extra long, up to half an hour in traffic here in Los Angeles.

I used to get these a lot.

It was on Eastern Avenue which I guess was a warehouse since they had a ton of packages

delivered there very often.

I asked a man that receives the packages and counts them, and for more I understood they

take the orders from other countries and then they ship them for a premium.

So it's like a side business, but for customers outside of the United States to buy things

and for people who are afraid of online shopping and would rather call the center to place

an order for them.

After delivering them, I'd have to go drop off the packages at some of the newer areas,

some of which had addresses listed on my rabbit, that's the name of the scanner device

that we use, but not yet on Google Maps.

On marked roads, mailboxes out by the start of the large fencing, and deliveries to houses

still under construction were some of the places I had to deliver to.

It was wintertime and the days were getting shorter.

By 6 pm the roads that had streetlights would turn on, but the ones by the hills where

I was assigned were to get pitch black.
