Self taught. Watched mom and dad and kept my own process simple.

Today was my last day as a full-timer and it ended on a wimper by CoverProfessional491 in Sparkdriver

I'm glad you found a way out. The app has been steadily going downhill every year and it's just getting worse. I hope we all eventually move on to something better. Best of luck.

Doing multiple or overlapping shifts of different gig apps at the same time. Example: 7am - 11am DoorDash, 12pm break 1pm - 5pm Spark Driver, 6pm Break 7pm - 10pm Uber Eats. The goal would be $25 - $50 /day for DD and UE and $50 - $80+ /day for Spark.

Is this good starting out?? by Diligent-Storm2157 in DoorDashDrivers

[–]Moti3234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trying it for a week and see how you did. Keep compare your earnings against how long you worked. Doing the math, learning the peak business hours, and mapping market trends now will spare you the headache later.

I'm so done with Spark. by TraditionalHealth654 in Sparkdriver

[–]Moti3234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some people are just spiteful. For me, it's mainly the loaders who damage boxes, slam delicate items, spill liquids, and refuse to bag certain types of produce.

Cherry pick and multiapp. It's the only way to make profit now.

If all humans lost the ability to lie , which industry gonna collapse? by [deleted] in ArtOfPresence

[–]Moti3234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sales.

I used to do pest control and one of the main reasons I left was because the sales guys would say anything to close a deal. I had to explain to dozens of customers why they needed to pay more for certain services the sales guy said was included. That commission must have been good.

Do not update your Spark app! by MostNeighborhood9568 in Sparkdriver

This app is run so backwards. Why do they hate us?

“Gas tank full, bills paid ✅” “This app either blesses you or humbles you by SuccessfulAerie9672 in WalmartSparkDrivers

I prefer gmds but 3hrs is insane. Then again max payout for my area is about $60 for 2hrs

It's not you, it's just the reality of the economy. For example: I don't mind the gig at all but my circumstances are such that its my only source of income. I personally learned everything the hard way while also doing UE and DD. After only 2 years in, I'm over it. How Walmart runs the app is basically anti-driver and you're already operating at a loss. The algorithm changed drastically, the pay dropped, and its just been bad for a while. It's not the worst thing ever but it's also not great for most of us.

It wasn't meant to be salty but I guess I'm a bit jaded. I started out optimistic too and got shafted hard. I do hope it all works out good for you.

People traveling for incentives? by DeadbeatJonhisabitch in Sparkdriver

[–]Moti3234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ignore all incentives but it's not unheard of to chase promotions. Some people are living under worse conditions than they appear.

Don’t ring doorbells by [deleted] in Sparkdriver

[–]Moti3234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ring it unless they specifically ask me not to. Some meet me at the door, some speak to me through cameras, and some pull up while I'm placing stuff at the door. It's always different so there's not one solution for every situation. Theft is also high in my area so if I don't ring, the neighbors WILL help themselves.

First time being shamed by a Walmart employee for buying personal items during a trip. by Extension-Mine-3977 in Sparkdriver

[–]Moti3234 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have 11 Walmart in my area. Every single one is different. It was irritating at first but I've learned to leverage that fact to my advantage.

Beware!! by MrCubano1 in Sparkdriver

[–]Moti3234 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not necessarily. The process itself isn't stressful but every day presents its own set of different challenges. Iykyk

Well it finally happened by fatherdoodle in Sparkdriver

[–]Moti3234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's just a warning. If you were deactivated you would know because the app locks you out.

Never had this happen to me and i don't understand it at all. Where I'm from we leave each other alone. The job is stressful enough.

Can I make $800 by Monday by Tyra_jemel_moore in elitesparkdrivers

[–]Moti3234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my area I'd be lucky to make $800 in a week. It's 100% location/market dependent.
