100% TRUE 👍, HAPPENS TO ME.AND I COMPLAIN.
I did Uber in 2022 on a Honda Pilot 2017 Touring, and I earned 122k that year. Crazy right?
What kind of car you got bro?
How long does it take to get activated? Thank you
Thanks for the info....
I finally got the opportunity to be a Shipt shopper! In my area, I only see 6 to 9 dollar orders! Many customers don’t tip even with excellent service!!! I make so much money with DoorDash, Uber and GrubHub. Instacart is way more money. Shame on customers being able to stiff you after you did a great job!!! Shame on target To have a system where you easily don’t get tipped!!!
im in selmer tennessee and there is i mean zero app jobs here...im a disabled vet and im very frustrated with the lack of jobs for me as far as driving and taking package to people, stuff like that..tried every app on the internet and nothing
I think Amazon getting out of control. How they closed my account after 3 years because I supposedly have two accounts with same info. I respond to their email and waited 6 days before paying ELVISTECHZS to get me reactivatd

Roadie support takes long time to respond
Seriously, Walmart should do something about illegal immigration! Those immigrants are taking orders/jobs from legitimate/properly vetted Walmart Spark delivery drivers and American workers. It places Walmart customers at risk when these undocumented aliens/strangers are delivering their food and grocery to them or even entering their homes.
I got approved from the waitlist some hours back using the #SPIRATECH service... I’m now a member of the delivery team again.
What's going on? Why is Walmart deactivating so many Spark drivers? It's been a very lucrative side gig for everyone.
Thought I was the only one lmao
Great advice I'm going through this exactly. Jus came off a 1000 week. Deactivated out of nowhere
Spark did that to me last March trying to say my insurance was falsified. Took me 3 months to get reactivated. It was stupid. I keep a daily log of deliveries and proof even down to text messages to customer before a return.

I worked 5 hours and only made 47 bucks, more than half of it was tips… they suck big time
You’re on point. I did Spark 12 hours a day for 1 year and I was deactivated today. For no apparent reason. So I’m hoping I’ll be appealed and accepted. I’ve done 1900 deliveries and I’m a 4.7 rated.
And many other who can find work resort to stealing
Im not racist or nothing cause im hispanic puerto rican i dont need to hide to come to the usa and its sad i see all these people affecting the economy they should send them all back like trump sad but true
Not only door dash and walmart amazon felx as well those people really affect us they take w.e pay as well and theres no work thanks to them it sucks
Spark is terrible. I've delivered thousands of deliveries and do this full time, and i watch new drivers get better paying offers. I can literally be sitting right next to my store for 3 hrs and watch a new driver get 3 triple orders in a row while i received no orders for 3 hours.
The store knows the illegal s very well. Last time i complain to the store manager about it he tall me he was going to deactivate me if i complained again
I can't any money in spark any more port Saint Lucie florida all the Walmarts are supporting all the illegals Venezuelans yesterday the store was 100%venezuelans.
In my market we share tip baiters info. I'll do a no tip order but never repeat someone that pulls a tip thru no fault of my own.
Thanks, thats encouraging. Everything is seasonal
#walmart you going to get sued soon 😂
Let me know when it drops! 💯
Reactivated after 90 days 2 emails 7 days a week 8 appeal denials 1 pre arbitration denial. I just didn't give up and actually requsted Arbitration at my expense, but i didn't have to take it to that. Just got an email saying you're reactivated. I'll have an update on my channel jp@just.luck the whole back story is there. Appreciate Midwest Express for reaching out. Dont give up if you did nothing.
Walmart Spark Driver Account Deactivation: FYI....I went on vacation to Costa Rica and the day before I returned trying to tap Spotify, I accidently tapped, Spark. Since the app opened I wanted to check out my stats for the 1 day I got to work. I did not know or read anywhere in the FAQs that opening the app in another country would be cause for deactivation. My appeal was denied saying I tried to manipulate the app???!!! This was truly not my intention but Spark seems to truly not care about my dilemma!! So, drivers please be careful when traveling out of the country with opening the Spark app.
We must take there shit because idk how else il going to pay my bills
I know it's hard out here lately.
Good information. Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
i have taken roadies order that will take me 30 miles north then do a dozen orders up north tell I found one going south.
It's nice when it works out that way. 🙂
Thank you! I started driving roadie last year. Still learning 😂😂. I picked up a deep freight that stated 28in 28lbs lol. A guy helped me out at home depot.
Yeah, spring time rush for Roadie is over in my area. Really slow now 😒
how does a passenger opt out of future matching with a driver that made them feel uncomfortable WITHOUT leaving them bad reviews that could compromise their job
I don't know 😕
So if you’re only being paid for the time spent behind the wheel and not for waiting for your return-home Uber, any delays or even the return trip home, $35 for 2-3 hours is lousy pay.
Yes, stacked routes are better.... $$$$ wise
Can you please tell me how can I fill an lawsuit I’m dead serious
To file a lawsuit against Walmart related to the Spark program, you'll need to take a few important steps. First, gather all your relevant evidence, including communications, contracts/terms of service, and documentation of the issue. Then, consult with an attorney who specializes in employment or contract law. They can help evaluate your case and guide you on the legal grounds for your lawsuit, as well as the appropriate court to file in. If your claim is valid, your attorney will assist you in filing the complaint and serving Walmart with the legal papers. Make sure to follow their advice and the legal procedures carefully throughout the process.Best of luck
They need to file a lawsuit together. All the "contract" drivers. Walmart and its employees with spark too are using the "1099 contract" to exploit humans trying to make an honest wage servicing the community. They are being paid below minimum wage and even more so considering gas, upkeep, insurance etc for the equipment (vehicles) used to do the chairty work. They are being exploited. This needs to be a full on suit from all spark drivers willing to participate.
35 bucks to drive almost 2 hours, and then uber back to the place you started? So in 4 or even more hours from start to finish of your journey you only got 35 bucks out of it?
I just recently signed on to Wridz in Houston. Ive been telling all my "other rideshare" passengers know about Wridz and how it is both better and safer for the passenger and the driver makes more money even without relying on customer tips. Note: the on boarding fees and the monthly subscription fee are considered a business expenses and thus tax deductible. For Wridz. To be successful, more uber and lyft drivers need to get onboard with Wridz so passengers can have less wait time foor a driver.
Not to be confused by MUVR
Wow.... didn't know what that was. If I was a bit younger... Thanks for sharing
Most of the deactivations are probably valid. Spark does not have contract violations the way doordash does but you best believe they're tracking your mistakes. Just because you do not hear about them does not mean its not happening in the background. Do your best to make as few mistakes as possible and you should be good.
Yes, I think sometimes people go too fast and have forced errors.
I had to verify my identity soon as i did i was deactivated instantly, am i a victim???
Wow, we're you able to get resolved?
In my area those fist come first serve get took by drivers using bots
True that!
Great video, great tips, I'm new to Roadie, Thanks alot!
Glad it helps
Not to mention that Spark Driver services were hot garbage, underpaid, and putting out more restrictions like for example they cannot load their bags when they have a passenger in the car, and telling them to leave and only the driver can take all three deliveries to themselves. BS, unfair, and no wonder DoorDash, GrubHub, and UberEats have better services and pay than the unreliable services made by Walmart.
You got experience with Roadie, Thank for sharing
Your welcome. Best of luck
I hate when they give you wrong address
💯. Happened to me this morning.
Good advice sir
Thanks and welcome
Is this for new York area also
I drove spark for a while. It is tough to fight for a job that doesn't pay a lot. The freedom and flexibility is good but overall pay vs gas and vehicle maintenance is kind of a wash.
