Banned from Amazon property? There’s gotta be a story there

[-]

BillieJackFu@reddit (OP)

There is a story, but I cannot discuss the actual story for 11 more weeks.

[-]

BillieJackFu@reddit (OP)

Fair. Thanks for waiting. It's been 90 days.

In October 2022 I bought a rifle, Springfield Armory Saint 15, I took photos of it and probably in November 2022 I showed a photo of the rifle to a couple of friends in the parking lot.

One of the friends said, "we're cool right" and I replied, "yeah we're cool, I have a list". They both laughed.

On January 6, 2026, myself and three other coworkers were discussing a former coworker whom none of us liked. We were laughing and joking and for some reason the joke from 2022 popped into my head.

I had added, "never write your list down" and "the woman who threw me under the bus and her fiance were on the list".

Mind you there is no actual list and it was perceived as humor in the moment.

I was investigated, I was asked "who is Lily" and I said, "I'm afraid I don't know a Lily" and the investigator said, "well sometimes people misremember things".

On January 15, 2026 I was fired, I wasn't told why and I only found out why after I was denied unemployment. "directly threatening other employees" was the reason Amazon gave.

I'm still having trouble understanding how I could threaten anyone without mentioning a name or from a joke.

There you go, that's it.

Holy fucking shit.

Well thanks for the story

[-]

BillieJackFu@reddit (OP)

Yeah it's stupid. I have a hearing on the 22nd to appeal the unemployment decision. Wish me luck.

bassnote1@reddit

Tossed his dispatcher through a window, or something like that.

[-]

I doubt this was it but I got banned for 1 year for arguing with a manager about sitting there for 12 hours to unload 2 pallets. I asked for the ban though and told them to trespass me because I wasn’t moving due to being out of hours. I also blocked 6 of there loading doors. 🤣🤣

jmzstl@reddit

Right? Makes it seem like it wasn’t a vehicular incident. Had to have been something involving theft/dishonesty or violence/threats.

[-]

geneticdeadender@reddit

Probably canceled his Amazon Prime after the free month ended.

[-]

Ornery_Ads@reddit

(I doubt this was it, because he would've said it, but) getting caught pissing in the grass will result in a 1 year ban and possibly a permanent ban from the incident property

[-]

Ok_Application_2292@reddit

Oops. They should’ve put the ports potty closer to the trailers. Glad I make sure I am out of camera and climb under skirted trailers

Environmental-Pear40@reddit

For real usually people are trapped/imprisoned on them. I want to figure out how I can get banned from Amazon properties without copping a charge. That's the tricky part.

[-]

cdubose@reddit

What state or region are you in?

[-]

BillieJackFu@reddit (OP)

Portland, Oregon

edsavage404@reddit

First of all, why or how did you get banned from all Amazon property's?

[-]

BillieJackFu@reddit (OP)

I have to wait 11 more weeks before I can tell you.

[-]

edsavage404@reddit

Damn

Lopsided-Move6309@reddit

How are people going to give you options if they don't have the entire story? Just going to be throwing out names and hoping they stick. I mean, do you want options only in trucking, outside of trucking, just told us you were fired and want options.

[-]

Minimum-Jacket-705@reddit

How absolutely fucking dogschitt do you have to be to be fired from one of the worst companies ever?

[-]

BillieJackFu@reddit (OP)

Could you focus on what I asked, not what I did?

[-]

Minimum-Jacket-705@reddit

DoorDash.

[-]

Minimum-Jacket-705@reddit

DoorDash.

[-]

BillieJackFu@reddit (OP)

I told a joke where the punchline was taken out of context by another person and Amazon went the extreme route of firing me.

[-]

robexib@reddit

How in the fuck did you get banned from Amazon, the queen of not letting go?

[-]

FartyOldeBob@reddit

He said it was an AFP (Amazon Freight Partner, aka 2nd party driver) and from what I hear they're quick to fire drivers. The Amazon ban is probably a side effect of being contractually employed with The Evil Empire

(I'm on TOM team, so I hear a lot of dirt from visiting drivers)

[-]

BillieJackFu@reddit (OP)

I absolutely did not say I was an AFP, I worked for Amazon Logistics, LLC. Look at the DOT number on the Hostlers and Day Cabs.

ie TOM Team

[-]

FartyOldeBob@reddit

My apologies bud. Good luck in your job search

[-]

BillieJackFu@reddit (OP)

I can't work for an AFP though or any other Amazon contractor, no KBS, no RME, no FORCE, nothing. Takes away a lot of opportunites.

[-]

FartyOldeBob@reddit

Yeah I imagine a ban from The 'Zon would include all that. I know in my area (Detroit) a lot of fuel delivery companies are hiring, and most of them say experience is preferred but not required. Also Cement (as many others have suggested), and if you aren't afraid of a lot of manual labor, there's Food service

[-]

No_Salad1394@reddit

Why were you fired?

[-]

BillieJackFu@reddit (OP)

I have to wait 11 more weeks before I can tell you.

[-]

No_Salad1394@reddit

Unfortunately, that impacts what job you get next

[-]

MemeManThomas@reddit

Come on man you can’t just say you were fired and banned from Amazon property and not tell us what you did

[-]

BillieJackFu@reddit (OP)

I absolutely can, I asked what my options were, I never said I would tell you what happened.

[-]

MemeManThomas@reddit

This does not align well with my nosiness

!RemindMe 11 weeks

[-]

BillieJackFu@reddit (OP)

I'm sorry.

[-]

azziptac@reddit

I've known drivers who have literally got into fist fights at Amazon distro centers. And haven't been banned. What the hell did you do dude?

[-]

BillieJackFu@reddit (OP)

I have to wait 11 more weeks before I can tell you.

[-]

Trappin4DaSport@reddit

banned? wth you did 😂

[-]

BillieJackFu@reddit (OP)

I have to wait 11 more weeks before I can tell you.

[-]

greedybanker3@reddit

question is how banned and why. look into doing cement.

[-]

BillieJackFu@reddit (OP)

I have to wait 11 more weeks before I can tell you.

[-]

shadybays@reddit

Why did you get banned and fired though?

[-]

BillieJackFu@reddit (OP)

I have to wait 11 more weeks before I can tell you.

[-]

UOLZEPHYR@reddit

Jesus TOM,

What the fuck did you do? TDR pull on red ?

[-]

BillieJackFu@reddit (OP)

Nothing to do with job performance, nothing physical. If you hang around for the next 11 weeks I can tell you.

[-]

RuneScape420Homie@reddit

You have to try REALLY hard to get banned. Impressive. Did you steal or fight someone ?

[-]

BillieJackFu@reddit (OP)

No.

[-]

RuneScape420Homie@reddit

It’s ok. I got banned from an Amazon as a truck driver too. I swept my trailer out onto the ground.

[-]

BillieJackFu@reddit (OP)

This had nothing to do with performance on the job or off the job. I wish I could tell you, but not for another 11 weeks.

[-]

RuneScape420Homie@reddit

That’s ok. We all fuck up in life. Just hit up indeed and just mass apply to local jobs.

[-]

CreatedbyKey@reddit

I use to be TDR and work with TOM. To get banned from Amazon you did something wild.

[-]

BillieJackFu@reddit (OP)

It's less wild than you think.

[-]

No_Ocelot4019@reddit

Automatic restriction isnt a huge deal most companies are Autos only anymore unless your trying to go like grain bin cattle pot or heavy flatbed. I personally would avoid western express prime swift and Schneider. From experiences of some buddies TMC seems to be pretty chill they love harassing the new guys for a hot minute from what im told like the let's weed out the weak or whatever old school blue collar/veteran mindset of id they run off now they shouldn't be here then they accept you and yall are best friends. Again all experiences from friends ive only been with a mom and pop and Mclane (wont go back dont recommend it or atleast the one i was at)
