Anyone here drive for Amazon?

Either directly or indirectly? It has been alleged on another forum (EU non drivers' but general) that Amazon drivers are pushed so hard that, apart from mental breakdown, they are forced to break the rules regarding drivers’ hours and forced as a result of reduced breaks to urinate and defecate in their trailers/vans.

I doubt anyone will want to admit to the latter but I would like some ammo if I am to reply.

I have asked the same question on a British drivers' forum as well.

 

Thanks for that @LOTSO , I have posted it along with 3 other quotes from the UK drivers' forum, all along the same lines as you. Sadly for some transatlantic reason my quote of you became one long single line scroll. But they got the message anyway.
Some people who know nothing about our industry will believe any nonsense to prove a point.

 

Not specified but I am pretty sure that it is more the delivery vans they were talking about which is why, after some deliberation, I put it in the Local Delivery Trucking Forum.

I live in the countryside where it is a bit of a trek to get to large shops so I am a heavy user of Amazon but there are some city dwellers that think we are killing kids in China and forcing local drivers into mental health issues to keep prices low.

I just wanted some evidence to put against that view.

 

Thank you, exactly what I expected to hear, I have passed it on with others and we haven't heard from the poster whose brain dead mindset made the original accusations.
