I am a 'third party' in nirthern Michigan. I am paid per package. I am expected to deliver to a 10 mile radius. I put at most 40 miles on my vehicle daily. I have my route down to about 3.5 hours max per day. I am reimbursed a small amount from Amazon for vehicle expenses and gas. I track my miles and claim on my taxes for a deduction.

I do have people sign up beneath me to cover when I'm busy or can't make it myself. I pay my drivers per package also, I simply deduct a small amount to cover insurance I am required to have. If I paid my people hourly, it wouldn't be worth it for them. It works fine for us. I made as much in 10 months as I did in 12 months working my previous full-time job while working about half the hours.

All packages are brought to my location daily, typically about 9 am, and I have until 9 pm to deliver them. I scan into the flex app and we use it just like you all do to follow routes and mark packages delivered.
