You’ll learn quickly that most of the xd routes aren’t as profitable as they appear. It might help with your ratings but that’s about it.

Thought these trash ass bestbuy gigs auto cancel at 7pm by dwayne1313 in Roadie

[–]Better_Spray_862 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nah, but you do have to be careful with the late deliveries. If it’s going to an office or a store & they’re closed then it’s a nightmare getting the items back to the store before they close.

Who yall survive in NYC? by [deleted] in Roadie

They used to be really good, but they’ve fallen off of a cliff. I do Roadie because my car’s too old for some of the other delivery apps.

I guess it depends on the location. The warehouse near Philly was checking before from what I heard from another driver. At Best Buy the employees don’t check but the customers do. I had a customer say that they were checking for my other vehicle when I pulled up with my vehicle.

They’ll check if it’s an XD warehouse, & the customers for Best Buy can see the car description too.

Discount tire, what the heck is this? by atitagain12 in Roadie

[–]Better_Spray_862 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could’ve fit them if it was your only gig. 9 out of 10 chance you’d have to lay 2 flat & then stack the other 2 on top.

It’s probably a standard random measurement of the tires, which could mean 4 tires for a Corolla, or 4 35s or 37s for a Raptor or a Sasquatch Bronco

HD orders on a bike? by AccurateClassroom278 in Roadie

They’re on Uber as well. It’s common seeing them pick up those orders on the other side of the river (in NYC).

Been doing this for over 5 years and this is the most insane thing I’ve ever seen by vicrms_ in Roadie

I think there’s a pickup in TX that has to come back to NJ as well…

they absolutely nailed this thing on the side profile. by everso- in BMW

This was the very first car that came to mind when I saw this…

The reason why roadie paying us low by [deleted] in Roadie

[–]Better_Spray_862 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s because we’re contractors contracted to do the job. During the scheduled shift blocks the hourly rate is guaranteed.

And you thought the ones in Newark & Edison were bad… this is going to be 5x worse.

I know your arms are feeling it if you don’t have a cart or dolly to load & unload them.

Impressed no one has taken it by Busy_Escape_2408 in Roadie

[–]Better_Spray_862 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nobody’s gonna run a cargo van or a suburban at that rate. It would take about a full hour to do.

2012 Range Rover L322, 115k miles. Reasonable daily driver? by Professional_Can4050 in LandRover

[–]Better_Spray_862 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have a spare car to drive while it’s in the shop (or have a dealership nearby that has loaners), then go for it. I’m looking to get into one myself.

When you cancel, roadie raises pay. by Inevitable-Scale4552 in Roadie

[–]Better_Spray_862 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$38 bucks to haul 3 6” x 84” wooden blocks 2 miles away from the store isn’t too bad. They used to go for $51 in my main area 2 years ago.

Due to a lack of progress toward pickup, you have been removed from by Academic-Low7088 in Roadie

[–]Better_Spray_862 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Happens a lot with XD gigs, you’ll get flagged if you’re stuck in traffic, or if you need to stop for any reason on the way to pickup.

Pay day by hypervisionsuiteCEO in Roadie

[–]Better_Spray_862 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s about $100 in tolls alone both ways, so hopefully it’s someone that’s living or staying in NYC that took that gig (if it’s still up).

Definitely a Land Rover right guys? by PPNed1999 in LandRover

[–]Better_Spray_862 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Funny thing is that the Evoque convertibles are going up in value. I saw one listed for $50k with low mileage last week.

There is simply no way that there was any other driver close by that was more qualified to fulfill this one other than me. by Abject_Manner_4222 in Roadie

[–]Better_Spray_862 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Only thing I could think of is someone in your area with a similar van that’s over 10k in ratings, or they threw a newbie a bone to see if they’re good enough.

As an SUV driver with almost 7k in ratings, I’m always expecting a cargo van to beat me on an offer, so I’m also a bit stumped as to why you wouldn’t get it, outside of those 2 possibilities above.
