In Last Mile Delivery, burnout doesn’t just cause unexpected absences—it leads to costly turnover, forcing Amazon Delivery Service Partners (DSPs) to constantly hire and train new drivers. As a result, DSPs often over-schedule backup drivers to meet route commitments. These additional costs can quickly erode profits, as DSPs are only compensated for drivers who complete routes, while backup driver wages come directly from the DSP’s budget.
To illustrate, scheduling just 2 backup drivers for 2 hours a day at $22/hour for 360 days a year costs $31,680. As burnout drives more call-offs and turnover, DSPs are forced to increase backup staffing even further. Combine this with the ongoing need to recruit, hire, and train new drivers, and the financial strain on your operations rapidly grows.
2on2off tackles this by solving the root cause of call-offs and turnover: burnout.
Unlike traditional schedules, 2on2off’s 2-days-on, 2-days-off work pattern gives drivers the rest they need to avoid burnout. Drivers work for 2 days, followed by 2 days of rest, creating a predictable, balanced schedule that boosts morale, engagement, and job satisfaction.
With 2on2off, drivers can easily request to pick up, trade, or give away shifts, giving them control over their schedules. This flexibility reduces burnout and turnover, helping DSPs minimize costly absences and improve driver retention—all while keeping backup staffing costs under control.
2on2off doesn’t just minimize absences and turnover—it helps DSPs run leaner, more efficient teams. With a stabilized workforce, you can reduce managerial staff to just two key roles per day: a Dispatcher for “under-the-roof” operations and a Fleet/Team Lead for “on-the-road” oversight. Cutting down unnecessary management costs, typically around $45,000 per person annually, delivers even more savings. Plus, DSPs can eliminate the need to finance additional resources like sweepers or rescue rovers, thanks to the improved workforce retention and reliability.
With burnout under control and drivers empowered to manage their schedules, DSPs can unlock substantial cost savings and maximize profitability—starting from the very first payroll cycle.
