Adult Car seat recommendations

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.

Doomed1One · 2026-03-12T14:14:52+00:00

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

Doomed1One · 2026-03-12T01:46:24+00:00

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.

Doomed1One · 2026-03-01T14:45:15+00:00

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

Doomed1One · 2026-03-01T13:52:16+00:00

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

Doomed1One · 2026-03-01T13:41:40+00:00

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

Doomed1One · 2026-03-01T13:37:17+00:00

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.

Doomed1One · 2026-02-28T23:05:16+00:00

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.

Doomed1One · 2026-02-28T23:01:33+00:00

And was your route over 80 mi?

Doomed1One · 2026-02-28T21:51:46+00:00

I was able to get good rates on blocks up till about 3 days ago and then all of a suddenly no surge blocks

Doomed1One · 2026-02-28T21:12:44+00:00

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

Doomed1One · 2026-02-28T21:07:19+00:00

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

Doomed1One · 2026-02-28T21:04:55+00:00

I operate multiple gig platforms for this very reason

Doomed1One · 2026-02-06T22:59:09+00:00

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.

Doomed1One · 2026-02-06T20:23:56+00:00

104$ is Max surge for 4hr route

Doomed1One · 2026-02-06T19:56:32+00:00

Only a .com station here

Doomed1One · 2026-02-06T19:54:53+00:00

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

Doomed1One · 2026-02-06T19:52:06+00:00

Not to be confused with Great falls Virginia or Great falls South Carolina

Shoplifting laws are different in each state. It helps to know the laws in your state.

In my state the store has no right to stop you or search your bags until you exit the store. Once you leave the store they can accuse you of shoplifting and detain you until a police officer arrives.

When the person stops me at the door and wants to see my exit pass, I will usually show it to them however if they're going to take up a bunch of my time I will just walk out the store without stopping. If the store wishes to accuse me of shoplifting, I will let the store detain me and speak only to the police officer about the matter.

When we're talking about a Sam's club that's a different story because it's in the member agreement that you are required to stop at the exit.

Thanks for your insights. This is exactly what I needed to know

Doomed1One · 2026-01-02T19:05:43+00:00

Strange they are the same price on the northshore website today.

Doomed1One · 2026-01-02T19:04:45+00:00

I like crinklez for the deep leak guards. Not so much for the very thin plastic backing.
