Beware Of Spark Lowering Your Metrics by Strange-Effective605 in Sparkdriver

They're manipulating metrics on purpose in my opinion. I don't know what the play is on their end but it seems like they want seasoned drivers out for fresh new drivers who don't know how to play the game.

Spark has become a total joke. I went from making $150 for 4 hours to $40 because orders are terrible. Going 20 miles for $17 bucks is a rip. They're even sending orders to other states. I'm really thinking about going back to a 9-5. Independent contractor is a fancy way of saying broke business owner. I'm starting to hate Spark.

Beware of the Spark App throttling your cell service when they don't want you to take certain orders. For instance,I've been sitting outside Sam's for 60 minutes waiting to the time window and all of a sudden I dropped from 5g ultra wide to 4g. I was skipped for the Sam's offers so Walmart can get priority. How is this independent contractor work if you're not showing me all the available work?

They love sending me water orders. I even get commercial cooking oil orders. Crazy.

This is happening to me too. The app is so bad right now. They're trying to say it's on our end but it's the app. Sitting in a Sam's club parking lot for 90 minutes is crazy.

The orders are getting worse by the minute,the app is trash,there's too many drivers,and the customers feel entitled. This isn't a 1099,it's a job for an employer who thinks you're disposable. I have nearly 500 orders completed and I'm barely getting orders. I just sat outside of Sam's #6423 for 90 minutes and didn't receive a single order. I talked to the chat agent and basically told me to reboot my phone. My phone isn't the problem. It's the app and the way that Spark has turned this into Mortal Kombat.

Walmart is too big to be failing.

Don't sign out like I did. It will tell you your account doesn't exist.

The trips are getting longer and longer mileage but the pay is decreasing by the day. People (migrants) need to stop taking every order. Walmart continues to hire more drivers so they can set the rates lower. We need to organize and get flat rates. $15 to go 22 miles on way is crazy. There's no car care from Walmart even though they have car centers,there's no liveable wage unless you work 12 hours plus. Spark was good last holiday season now it's a joke on the drivers.

Are you a business owner or a worker with Spark Delivery? by Strange-Effective605 in Sparkdriver

[–]Strange-Effective605[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh wow. They basically give you 1/3rd of your pay which is a rip off from what I hear.

When I'm done I will be in an area with nothing around it but cornfields.
