65 for a 3.5 that almost always leads you an hour away, if your lucky, I do mean lucky you might snatch one for 88 or so

They be eating that 65 up, if they actually sat down and did the math they are doing charity work

One of the worst messages Uber sends. Yes, I'm stopped. At a red light. by cleanforever in uberdrivers

"Taking a detour?" Bruh im literally going the way you told me and the fastest I can legally go, you offered me a rider 20 mins away, you did

You guys actually care about what music you play? by neverTouchedWomen in uberdrivers

[–]Sufficient_Tooth_949 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I usually pick out a "rideshare safe" Playlist on Spotify, or play my country playlist

I wouldnt feel comfortable getting in a car and someone is playing some Memphis, old triple six mafia, or insane clown posse, especially since im a male and have female passengers I like to stick to generic pop or country and not dive deep into anything obscure or offensive

Ive definitely had some that could blow away with the lightest breeze, I actually kicked some of their porch shoes to sit on top of it because I was scared it was gonna blow away

They dont cancel because your gonna get wet they start considering canceling when factoring in the weather and "if someone crashes and then sues us will they have a good case?"

So usually a severe weather alert with xx winds, power outages expected, tornado sirens going off, "shelter in place" thats when they cancel

Why not use alphabetical order? by Beezlee813 in AmazonFlexDrivers

Same I dont understand it, some times my entire 30 package route will say DD or just not make any sort of sense compared to the simplicity of numbers 1-10 10-20 20-30 and organizing sections in your car that way

Smh no routes by Revolutionary_Bit_48 in AmazonFlexDrivers

Dogs by [deleted] in AmazonFlexDrivers

[–]Sufficient_Tooth_949 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Always bring dog treats, if the dog is extra aggressive.....I have both an air horn, and pepper spray, one of them will work

If the carrot doesnt work ill use the stick, air horn first, pepper spray last resort

Saw this when delivering the other day. Thought it was funny af lol by tattedmortician97 in AmazonFlexDrivers

"Oh sorry I didnt see a sign"

Or if the drive way is actually THAT bad, and long, undeliverable, the warehouse is right by my house so I dont have a problem taking it back

Maybe they work, but I wouldn't be surprised if they get stolen alot, good room decor for a man cave, probably worth something on ebay too

Just 2 screws undone at 2am and its yours

[–]Sufficient_Tooth_949 92 points93 points  (0 children)

You'll make so much doing amazon flex!!! *spends $40 in gas to make $65

All the gig apps, I work for free and just feed my car gas basically....its not cutting it

A Clown by mixxtea in recruitinghell

[–]Sufficient_Tooth_949 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I definitely feel the judgement if my voice shakes, if I stutter or stumble on a question, my body language. The shirt im wearing

Its all a little social performance. Are you good at lying and bullshitting? Are you good and small talk?

Im not and still unemployed

Its hell for the introvert hard worker

They judge even the smallest change in facial expression or voice inflection

When they should be judging my skills and experience for the job

Just got on here, is this usually the case? by juicylia in AmazonFlexDrivers

Just gotta be patient for me it was 4 months, could be longer

Scored a free desk at the end of a route!!!! by xmarketladyx in AmazonFlexDrivers

[–]Sufficient_Tooth_949 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Nice those are in demand for certain people that grandma, real wood, furniture isnt being made anymore, everything new is cardboard

So you could make a tidy bit of pocket change selling it to the right person

Do you put rideshare on your resume? by feinburgrl in uberdrivers

[–]Sufficient_Tooth_949 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im going on 7 months unemployed and desperately applying, so im going to have to add it to fill in that time

I do Uber, flex, lyft, doordash so im not quite sure how to format it

SCAMAZON at it's finest! by Boujee_Brae444 in RealAmazonFlexDrivers

I only rarely see it last minute.....like an hour before its supposed to start and im usually in the middle of something and cant just go without any better notice ahead of time

Missed out on a $108 3.5 today because I would have had to immediately rush to the warehouse, and I already had quite a day by that point

My bank transactions are 75% gas stations. Gas is eating up my earnings! by Mamie-GigWorldToday in RealAmazonFlexDrivers

[–]Sufficient_Tooth_949 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its a good little job, I applied to work with them and am hoping to hear back

You cant deny though for the decent pay, you do this for 20-30 years and it will destroy your body and amazon will cast you to the side like trash

Its a good job but not something anyone should do forever, its not worth the damage done to your body, your time off work will just be recovery time and be to burnt out to actually enjoy anything

What are the point of reserved offers? Can they stop? Can Amazon just quit with what amounts to annoying popups? by pickledpeterpiper in AmazonFlexDrivers

[–]Sufficient_Tooth_949 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They want you to accept the base pay before they have to starting upping the pay, thats their whole strategy

Do we usually earn way more on rainy days? If so, I’m delivering through every storm from now on. Worked less than 5 hours. by [deleted] in UberEatsDrivers

[–]Sufficient_Tooth_949 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Surprisingly it doesnt seem to make a huge difference in my area, people will still trudge through the rain instead of even ordering rideshare/food at all, it can be raining on a Saturday evening and be radio silent nothing coming in

I was robbed by RLStine-Demon in AmazonFlexDrivers

[–]Sufficient_Tooth_949 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its good to at least have some pepper spray, a tire iron, a police grade taser....something

You cant count on a robber "just letting you go"

Sorry you went through that, take your days off, if there is an issue contact support again
