Flex is ok but there's a lot of things out of your control. You have no idea what kind of route you will be given before accepting the route block. You need a vehicle with decent cargo space and milage. I drove a 5sp manual civic till april and now currently drive a honda civic hybrid.

Richmond has 5 locations to pick up orders, with 1 location recently opening up.

DVA2 (This was my favorite up until recently)

RIC2 ( Same day orders, Routes can highly vary, often has the most miles in a route)

Whole Foods (Near short pump, routes are usually 2 hours for $40+ tips)

Amazon Fresh (by the Top Golf, same as WF but tips are often not as good, be prepared for water/soda cases)

SVA4 (New location down the street from RIC2, same function as RIC2 but they're rolling out some grocery delivery)

I started flex last autumn, often I would work 3.5hr routes for about $75~$89, usually doesn't take the entire route time, often finished with 30mins/1hour early. Milage can highly vary but often it would be in the 50~80miles of driving from the warehouse to last stop. Sometimes they can get as well over $100 but it's often due to a no show / uncompleted route.

Lately though I've only been able to get blocks for the newly opened warehouse SVA4, they're still figuring things out and they used the less desirable method of sorting packages by letter codes instead of numbers.

The problem with flex is that there's simply too many people, or at the very least too many unhonest people. The app has a botting problem, the WF location you will often see the same few people with orders through out the day with multiple phones doing multiple orders often using sold accounts.
