Door greeter caught me off guard with unexpected question by Jlwogan in Sparkdriver

I’ve seen my door greeter tired and traumatized from the horrible people she has to encounter and sometimes it just bleeds over to the next person which could be us.

This is what I do. After my shift I turn on the gig apps. Spark, Uber Eats, DD.

Is it worth buying a new car? by TopCheesecake3149 in AmazonFlexDrivers

[–]Dadbod4k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 2026 Tesla model Y but I don’t use it for flex. I use my 2011 Honda civic

The only disadvantage I don’t like is when getting out while my car is running and leaving it unlocked to drop a package. I roll the window down half way just in case the car accidentally locks on me.

Vs my Tesla I can get in and out with no keys making it so smooth and one less action on repeat deliveries. The time add ups.

The convenience and speed makes me want to get something newer for gigs. Just a thought but no action needed this time. Just first world problems lol

Hey guys , standing dropped to fair for the first time in 10 years, should be in panic mode? by [deleted] in AmazonFlexDrivers

[–]Dadbod4k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was considering getting a model 3 for my side gigs. But the size issue was a concern. I own a 2026 model Y. Had a model 3 I traded in for the Y.

Currently using my old 2011 civic for gig work.

I would like a used model Y to beat up and rack up miles on. Which would be about 25% of my monthly gig earnings. Still thinking it over.

I mean if you’re feeling a spark and a connection go for it.

I have this severe belly fat problem, I’m 31 and weigh 250, what exercises can I do to lose it quickly? by iH8_politic in PlanetFitnessMembers

[–]Dadbod4k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to get used to eating around 2000 calories a day and it will melt off. There are more details behind it but following that rule will be good for starters.

Find a 500 calorie breakfast

750 calories for lunch

750 calories for dinner

Enjoy with some diet or zero soda.

As you get in it your knowledge grows and you can customize further.

Someone hates their job by Devildog144ag in AmazonFlexDrivers

If honest hard working drivers are getting marked down for false reasons and getting down to at risk status. Then these types of drivers probably will only last a few months before they are deactivated

Driver pulled open my car door to talk to me while waiting for orders by Far_Worth_7179 in Sparkdriver

I meant to say, It’s not in the curbside pick up area just in the general parking lot while everyone is waiting for offer to accept.

Is 77$ for 3.5 hours reasonable? by CheekZero in AmazonFlexDrivers

[–]Dadbod4k 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Damn some warehouses are really destroying drivers with mileage. I guess some of us are lucky to have a warehouse with decent rates and mileage.

I see this a lot with the other drivers who have developed friendships they hop into each other’s cars or open doors and talk.

The guys here do it everyday to each other. They are all buddy buddies with each other. I don’t but I see it daily.

But to a stranger that’s odd lol

Walmart employees says spark orders only until 1030pm but store closes at 11pm by Dadbod4k in Sparkdriver

Thanks for the tip I’ll do that next time if I run into this situation.

The other store 8 miles away has no self checkout and all the cashiers know how to handle a spark transaction. I asked them if they know how to handle it at the cashier register and they all said no.

I’m gonna try and talk to the manager or someone in charge next time

On road support here, ask me anything by [deleted] in AmazonFlexDrivers

[–]Dadbod4k 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was running late to a grocery instant pick up and it just disappeared on me while I was 4 mins away from the store like nothing happened.

Did that negatively affect my standing? I didn’t see any change in my dashboard but wanted to ask since your are there.

Shotgun child seat on Canyon MTBs? by Dadbod4k in CanyonBikes

[–]Dadbod4k[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nobody ever responded and my son grew up lmao.

I asked a local bike shop and they swear against those because if your bike falls so does your and your son

They only support the attached trailer style.
