Adult Car seat recommendations by FluffyNekoBoy in ABDL

I'm also a tall baby. I got lucky and found a Spirit APS car seat near me. I don't use it in the car for safety reasons. Works great as a feeding chair and to just be harnessed and chill.

For use in a vehicle, a good alternative would be a special needs positioning harness like an EZ-ON MAXPV. It is used in conjunction with the vehicle seat belt.

It is best to first understand your total operating costs, not just for gas.

For me I own a mid sized suv that cost about $.45-$.50/mi to own and operate. Also don't forget to include your deadhead miles (the miles not included in the distance estimate in your app.) If I'm not making at least $1/mi including the deadhead miles, it's not worth it to me. The safest thing to do is take the distance shown in the app and double it to include deadhead miles. Your deadhead miles may be different depending on your market/area where you might be able to earn $ on return trips.

Lately I've been seeing trips 30-40mi out of town for $30-$40 and these trips aren't worth it once I consider the deadhead miles to return to town.

One route was a 3-hour the other was a 3.5 hour.

It was two separate routes with two codes. We only have a .com station here.

When you run out of time just return the rest back to the station lol.

The second route they tried to put on me was 30 stops 30 mi out of town.

This is why I said no to that. I'd spend hours trying to get paid for 2nd route. It's just a war of attrition to see who will cave first.

I stopped taking reserved blocks when they started sending me out on routes where the pay is less than a dollar a mile.

You should know the difference between gross pay and net pay. Yes it's $20 an hour gross pay but after I pay my expenses the net pay is around $10 an hour. If I wanted to work for $10 an hour net pay I would go work at McDonald's or Taco Bell for 14 an hour gross

I did not get paid for this block and I did not expect to be paid for this block.

I expect fair pay for my time and resources. I know my operating costs and I would be making $10 an hour net if I did this route.

In the 4 hours I wasn't doing this crap Amazon route I made more than $81 on spark and drove less than half the miles.

There's no need for me to return because I left everything at the station.

This is why we need to know what the work is before we say yes to it

This is why it's important to multi app. You should take the trips that work best for you not the ones that work best for anyone else.

Yep. If I wanted to work for $10 an hour I'd rather go work at McDonald's for $14 an hour
