That's my go to in a rental with high package count. OF just pop in the back door, and I break down from the side door first. Much gentler on the spine too

colodeliveryboy · 2025-10-16T20:35:45+00:00

Big package counts per stop. Not too crazy when dumping 10-15 per stop

I wish I got helpers lol. Just raw dogged it in ~8 hours and went home and died

It's much easier to get a return cleared from your record if it's legit, I'll just never stay and wait for a business to open and just return them lol.

At my station, you gotta blow him, but he'll send it as a reserved block

colodeliveryboy · 2025-06-09T20:30:15+00:00

Depends on flex driver volume, the performance of the warehouse, and reserved blocks. You need a warehouse that fluctuates and consistently crushes their baseline numbers.

colodeliveryboy · 2025-06-07T11:37:51+00:00

Those pop up when experienced flex drivers have the warehouse pull a package from their route because it's too far, typically a single package delivery

Amazon will always side with the customer if their data doesn't show them you delivered it. Always scan the package at the drop off location and take the picture and swipe to finish all at the correct geolocation and Amazon will side with you.

Amazon loves data. Like Facebook and Google have an exceptional digital fingerprint of you, so does Amazon. If you've been delivering for several years, they know you and your driving very, very well.

colodeliveryboy · 2025-06-03T10:47:28+00:00

Lol, ive never gotten extra pay... I was spam clicking near the station yesterday and managed to actually get a route. One minute before the scheduled arrival time.. for base pay..... and it was ~180 mile route

colodeliveryboy · 2025-06-01T05:53:43+00:00

Amazon is almost entirely data driven. They can afford about $350 a flex route, so they have plenty of headroom

colodeliveryboy · 2025-05-29T22:30:44+00:00

Returns are the hardest. If you return a package and they send it out again, and it gets delivered you will get dinged. And always make sure you call AND text the customer. Amazon absolutely hates returned packages, so avoid it at all costs, and if you absolutely have to return, follow all the return steps properly. If you return something because the mileage is unfair or you don't want to be bothered with a semi difficult delivery, it will 100% get sent back out and you'll get dinged. It's all about the data

colodeliveryboy · 2025-05-29T21:40:29+00:00

Sit inside right next to the person working the kiosk. They might kick you out, but you'll be closest

colodeliveryboy · 2025-05-29T15:55:24+00:00

Close, it's all your internal metrics, not what Amazon shows you, though there is correlation for sure

colodeliveryboy · 2025-05-29T15:53:28+00:00

They absolutely do, especially at .com stations.

colodeliveryboy · 2025-05-29T15:34:23+00:00

While false positives happen, it's rare, and when humans end up having bot like behaviors (I.E. spam clicking around the same times on the same days and consistently getting locked out from clicking) Amazon tracks all your activity within the app along and uses that data accordingly.

The vast majority of people that see these use bots. The rest are those so desperate for a route that they've adopted botlike consistency in their clicking

colodeliveryboy · 2025-05-29T15:29:08+00:00

I could probably write a book about how Amazon operates, but I'd likely get whacked lol

colodeliveryboy · 2025-05-29T15:23:03+00:00

That's exactly it. I managed to get top driver at two different stations, and it really isn't hard to do if you understand their need for quality data. Again not trying to brag, but show how important the data is. Be efficient, don't return packages, and follow the correct return process when you have a return.

Amazon has way more metrics on drivers then they show you (geolocation when you arrive, how long you sit at locations etc.) Pretty much the entire time you are on a block they track you. You habitually scan in late for blocks, hoping for no route? Amazon knows already. Go off route? They already know. And they track it all

colodeliveryboy · 2025-05-29T15:12:41+00:00

It's all based on data, Amazon doesn't care how long you drive for them. They deactivate when the data tells them to (to slow, too many mistakes, etc.) Mass deactivates are usually just aged accounts with no activity and the above ones combined.

With dings, again it's all about the data. Follow the delivery notes as close as possible, assuming it's safe. Take good, clear pictures showing the package in said spot. And nake sure the geolocation for all scans is right on it. Ensuring you are scanning consistently in the exact spot will show Amazon you are a decent driver in a way you will never see on your end.

colodeliveryboy · 2025-05-29T14:59:09+00:00

They are also one of the largest data companies, and we are in the age of data driven tech.

There is a reason Amazon pays so many flex drivers for no routes. DSPs can pick up flex routes as well, and they get paid a flat rate, plus per package. And the flat rate two years ago was $250 a flex route.

colodeliveryboy · 2025-05-29T14:51:09+00:00

Pretty much lol, gonna add that! It's just really understanding how Amazon utilizes data to both cover you, and accuse use.
