This is true. When I worked for a delivery service delivering Amazon, we had to be there at 6 and be on the road by 7. I had to start delivering that early, even though I wasn't allowed to ring the doorbell or call anyone for access until 8 AM. I often had to spend more time going back to redeliver later in the day because of their stupidity. I had a lady call the police on me and start filming me when I went on her porch even though I had a vest on that said Amazon. Everyone had to stop for lunch at the same time everyday. If you finished early you had to go rescue packages from another driver. To make it worse, they wouldn't keep you on the same route everyday, which meant you might have to learn one or more new sets of apartment complex buildings on any given day, etc. I was lucky because I had years of delivery experience as a courier and truck driver. It was also the best job I ever had because I got 30K steps nearly every day and lost 60 pounds. Sadly, the pay tops out at like $15-20 an hour. I went back to truck driving and make far more now.
