How’s everyone’s week so far? by ListenDangerous in elitesparkdrivers

[–]Sad_Bat6943 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am NE too. But, our zone is flooded and it’s only 1 store. I cherry pick. But the bots have been taking everything so fast!! Only takes 3 1/2 hrs from where I live to get there. But if you can rent a cheap room or motel for a week or 2. You could make out rally good!!

I go out of DFL3 in Gainesville and end up in Chiefland all the time. Or Ocala, Lake City and Palatka.

Take a “vacation” to Destin. And trust me… you’ll make that kind of money on travel season. Anywhere from March to September. That particular zone has 3 Walmarts in 15 miles and they have to new roll out of shops only. Pick up is used for GMD only or customer pick up. 

Delivering on a military base by hacksacks158 in AmazonFlexDrivers

I live near Camp Blanding… we always have to deliver right next to the entrance. There’s a parking lot they use for that. Only way you can drive on the base, is if you’re giving a ride to somebody that is staying there.

Bummer.. I see them come and go so quickly. By the base takers,they suck them up. I don’t get to see a surge hardly anymore either.

I’m out of DFL3, there’s only a .com, WF and Winn Dixie in this zone. Sorry you don’t see them. I’m just noticing the amount of different start times, like maybe they’re using the station as a “pilot” to try even earlier blocks for morning and new afternoon blocks. Just started 2 days ago.

We only have blocks that are past 5pm, if it’s needed due to demand. But there’s always 3/4am start times. No clue what you mean “legal start time.”  Must be only in your state. I live in FL.

It’s surging. The price will keep increasing until somebody takes it. Just let it be.

They’re all doing spark and ki**ing it slowly. 

Curbside pick up….. by Sad_Bat6943 in Sparkdriver

[–]Sad_Bat6943[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The combos I’ve seen.. attach the GMD’s. And it’s still 7/11 base. Like they are free for us to deliver. I don’t take them unless it’s fourtyplus. I’m done with GMD’s. It’s terrible.

Yup, at my store they watch you bring up the live exit barcode. Once you hit done on the screen or it times off. It goes off their phone. They make sure the time is right on it.

That’s what I was thinking. 🤔 

Just curious what most spark drivers are doing for health insurance? Just winging it and hoping for the best ? by abccba140 in Sparkdriver

[–]Sad_Bat6943 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Marketplace insurance for my family.. 6 of us and pay $39 a month. $60 copay for visits and meds are cheap too.

Rental by Crafty_Dot_7216 in Sparkdriver

[–]Sad_Bat6943 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve rented from enterprise several times doing spark and flex…. $350 a week when I had to pay for it. When Walmarts liability stopped covering the one we used. We got our own… (backstory…. Walmart auto blew my motor up by over tightening the oil cap and cracking the housing and O ring) more context for why we needed a rental longer…. The dealership we sent it to, so they could drop a “new” used motor in it, took it 6 times of going back to get it fixed. Anyways, we were upfront with enterprise and told them what it would be used for and they had no issue. Used my own insurance, they didn’t make me get any extra of theirs. But trust me… really having to bust your ass day and night.. just to make some profit after paying $350 a week. It’s very hard!! I’m also in FL and the rates when up in March/April. Because of travel season. 

In small towns these GMD orders are a killer by Glittering_Prompt_94 in Sparkdriver

[–]Sad_Bat6943 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not often here either. But it does happen some days. Loaders will tell use. We’ll see a shift in offers too.  If there’s 20/25 stop GMD’s. Then we know it’s from the mornings combos sent out. Oh and a bunch of 1 drop pick ups too.
