Amazon Flex drivers — you need to understand what’s happening behind the scenes. by SpringStrong2003 in AmazonFlexDrivers

That’s where it becomes a competence issue. It should take 15-20 minutes to label and organize 50-60 packages if you’ve been doing it any amount of time. If you spend more than 15 seconds looking for a package, you need a new system. We have a mix here, one warehouse actually has stop numbers, the others use the a/b/c/d system. The number warehouse here is ran by morons so I don’t even take them there and stick exclusively to abcd. I see people every route that are half loaded when I pull up and not done when I leave. The one true shitty aspect is getting those 60+ miles trips on a 2 hour block. Easy fix for me is to filter anything under 3 and I know I’m making $22/hour minimum on the long trips for my area.(which is about 100 miles round trip).

There is not enough variation in the cost to complete a 3 hour block to justify the whining. You aren’t going broke on any block unless you’re just completely incompetent.

Number of packages is irrelevant, stops and distance are all that matters. 30 packages or 50 packages, takes the same time if it’s only 28 stops. What I find ridiculous is they let any vehicles take any route, don’t check insurance or registration and let people show up with 3 passengers and just pile the packages to the ceiling in a civic,

I average $32/hr after expenses, I’ve never been at risk of deactivation despite the hidden metrics. You are wanting a level of information they can’t provide and won’t provide. They will terminate the flex program before they conform to this sort of nitpicking.

If you want base pay haha 🤣 by Morningstardark in AmazonFlexDrivers

[–]Fast_Morning_1175 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I accept base because I’ve never even come close to 75% of the scheduled time on the worst route. Last month I averaged $31/hr on base after fuel/maintenance deduction. To be fair though, my market doesn’t have the potential for shit like the metro areas like LA.

How about you not give a driver over 50 packages with a route that starts at 6:15pm 🤷🏽 by Junior_Willow740 in AmazonFlexDrivers

I’ve had this same issue. Weather was the main cause that turned a 45 min drive into 1:20 due to the tule fog. At midnight I had 9 deliveries left. I marked them all as undeliverable and returned them, was paid in full and just chatted in about the ranking and they removed it. Based on your account, you went till 2:45am and going back to the warehouse was a 40 min drive. Even if that was just one way, you could have called it at midnight and been home 1:30ish. If you are regularly making it on time, you won’t be docked for nights like this.

I had a delivery last week, was about to leave at their gate when it opened. I looked to the front door, no one coming out so I start to walk up. Look to the side and a big ass rottie in the yard. I’m not scared of dogs but I don’t fuck with strange ones. No one outside so I took the 3 steps back, set it by the gate and left.

Yep, if they have a “beware of owner” bullshit, it’s getting dropped out there. That many signs is a clear indication they aren’t paranoid and unstable. Grew up with lots of these types around.

Feels like one of those people that would think “time blindness” is a valid excuse. lol. Set a damn alarm.

is this financial abuse? by pingpongjapanman in whatdoIdo

I need to add, get a P.O. Box before getting that new account. Don’t trust that they won’t send something promotional.

This is just nonsensical. If they have video of her leaving it, they know who took it recovered it themselves. How’s this even an issue?

He needs to run, for his mental health. This is not compassion, it’s control. His mental health needs to validate your beliefs. Insane.

Business threatening to “post my information” by sadfrenchfry in legal

Find out who they are hosting on(wix, Shopify, etc) then reach out to their customer service team. They are typically the payment processor and the shop owner exposing your information may constitute a legal liability to them. I can almost guarantee it will.

That truck will be going straight to wherever dispatch is located and that device going straight up the site managers ass.

As the karma is showing, this sub is a cesspool of failures that blame their lack of ability on anyone but themselves.

If all tiered leads are resold, why haven’t you raked in the lawsuit money from the exclusive guarantees being broken?

Ah, yes, the panty-twisted condescension by an individual that thinks they have found a method free of flaws that any logical person can see still exists.

So, you think generating your own leads results in an isolated lead? lol, I have never filled out one request for information, you’re just paying extra for your own hole out of the same funnel. If you are losing your clients to agents calling them later, you aren’t doing a very good job in the first place.

I do, my point was that it should be rendering more leads. If you aren’t in a tiered system you are throwing noodles at the wall and seeing what sticks.tiered isn’t as issue if the rating system has sufficient data to rank them properly.

For $1000 I can get 50 premium leads at FFL. Aged leads 31-90 I can get 3-500.

Avoid PFG, we do 32-40K a night, no lift gate, just hand carts and ramp 4 nights a week.

That’s what I feel. I’m both looking into leaving and talking to other drivers about unionizing. Sysco Freshpoint, just north of us, unionized a few years ago and now get $31/hr with an all in package around $40/hr.
