I'm so happy that my station uses smart labels so every package is numbered
When did this start happening
New people to Amazon Flex if you’re gonna get a 4 1/2 hour or even a five hour block please do not pull up with a small car these small cars owners are something else. You don’t know how many packages you are going to get. It’s like rolling dice 🎲 🎲
They have a button for "this package will not fit in my vehicle", I assume you will be penalized but who knows.
Amazon Flex driver here. They suck and are terrible. The worst decision i ever made was putting too much time and stock into this. Even Door dash isnt as bad because its not a commitment, you dont have to drive too far or anything if you dont want.
Flex hires so many drivers that shifts become hard to get, the miles are extreme, surge pay diminishes to nothing. Sorry "new" people but its partially because of you. There are too many drivers now. It is Amazons fault though. They hurt your standings over returns and things you cant control. Even a flat tire. It is impossible to talk to the right person for certain issues. They do not care about flex drivers at all. Horrible gig now
Fact
The less packages you have the farther you will drive
Just a friendly reminder that the ford plant in Detroit started new workers out at $16.
In 1972.
Thanks.
yeah but you were stuck in the plant and couldn't moonlight another job at the same time. they could do Flex and DD or UE at same time and double that payout
Nah these apps are no longer good because how much you have to put on your vehicle, which are just getting more and more expensive. It seems better to do a walmart shift than this.
@GigGrizzly W2
@@MR3DDev Walmart associate here pays 18$ an hour.
@@nocturnus6 yeah but there you dont put wear and tear on your vehicle and spend gas like you do delivering
@GigGrizzly I think car repairs (unless you DIY), insurance and gas prices make all of these delivery apps sub minimum wage
@@MR3DDevyou’d be correct everyone else is delusional lmao
The amount of packages and stops had no bearing on your finish time. I just did a 43 package 42 stop 3 hour route tonight that I was done in 2.5 hrs. Then I’ve had 10 stops with 10 packages take 4. I don’t think you really have a great grasp on how this works.
Yep, because they can give you 15 packages that takes 130 miles to complete. Much better to have a dense route with stops less than a minute apart then stops that are 15 minute plus drives from each other
@@chiefbd I had that today but 150 miles the most I have done in so long. If not for the higher rate I would have turned it down. They sent me out 70 miles yesterday for 1 tiny envelope, at least it was a higher rate to make up for the next day. Seems they have gotten much worse in the last few months, drivers are pissed, crazy times at the warehouses around here so much product loss for some reason.
This is what’s it like in AZ as well. 5hours for $100. We also find the carts. I used to be a flex driver and work at the warehouse helping the drivers.
This is why I stopped taking any blocks over 3 hours. Every time I did it sent me out to the boondocks!! Sure, only 25 packages but drove 165 miles! Yesterday did 3 hours, 48 packages, all in town and with 5 minutes of the warehouse. Drove 20 miles including returning 1 package to the warehouse!
Spark Driver Package Deliveries are anywhere from just under $1/mile to just over $1/mile and they no longer raise it past $1.10/mile. They just keep cycling it through till someone takes it. I do them if there's too many drivers, not enough orders per day, or I just expect a slow day and need to raise my bottom line. But it's 2-3 hours for approximately $15/hr.
Please fix the mic Mike. The sound suppression is very strong and it sounds super choppy and fuzzy.
It sounds fine to me so what parts of the video are you hearing choppy & fuzziness?
@@LiveForChrist.Mostly in the beginning. Listen to this with headphones it’s easier to tell.
Yeah, it’s some kind of noise gate.
Just did my first flex shift in 2 years. Going to be my last. maybe ill try again in 2 more years. I wanted to see if things improved. Accepted a 4 hour job today for $27/hr. Seemed decent up front. I should have just unassigned this when i got to the warehouse and saw the itinerary. Maybe lost cost fallacy, id already driven 30 mins to the warehouse. It was an hour drive out to the route, 44 miles to my first drop. 28 drops total. I ended the shift 30 mins early at 3.5 hours, but was over an hour away from the warehouse and 1:20 from my usual gig work zone. Grand total for 156 miles and ended up taking a total of 5 hours from start to finish. How far are these damn zones for flex. Never again.
I must said, for the lower UberEat delivery, even this is $.90 per mile/1.6km is ok for now, at least it is another selection of jobs you can on & off on your schedule.
Can anyone help me to open the account for Amazon flex like can anybody tell me the zip code where they are hiring because I am in the waiting for more than 7 months I put the zip code of bay area California THank you
😊
I waited 10 months to get off the waitlist 😂 I literally just got off 5 days ago.
I love ❤Amazon 💪🏻
What i don't like, is you don't know where you're going till you get your packages, i would always get the ones where you get 10-12 packages going in rural areas, taking my car down dirt roads for the whole route.. No thanks, they should give you more info before you take the block...i don't do it anymore lol..
Costs have gone up but amazon has not raised it's base rates in years. They make it almost impossible to make any money and not want to throw away all the packages and forget them. The amount of loss they incur during shipping is incredibly high I have no doubt.
Would it be worth it if they were driving an EV?
Turning car on and off 40 times a block. Was getting old. Other that fun. And profitable if organization of packages and duffel bag for envelopes. And get block done in half the time
I’ve noticed with the shopping apps that problems with the app itself can cause an enormous sense of frustration and end up costing you money. I lost 15 dollars after I drove out to a CVS from the middle of nowhere. Took it just to get out of there. The store was almost closing . Should have been a quick in and out sure enough the app glitches out and won’t let me cash out if the store and pissed if all the store employees too cuz u was 👋 ding them up from closing . So after another 25 minutes of wasted time waiting for them to cancel it. Oh yeah they paid me 3 bucks for 15 miles and hour of wasted time.
Bro I had 2 5 hour blocks this past weekend same pay The 1st one took me 2.5 hours & my deliveries were 7 mins from my house
The 2nd one took me a hour & 5 mins & was 20 mins from my house
they make the blocks appear to give you TWICE as much as time for liability issue. so if you kill somebody speeding, they say it wasnt because Amazon forced the action
If you like not knowing where you will be going, if you like driving in multiple states, and if you like to not have the ability get extra pay in case it takes more time then this app is for you.
I once had 11 stops for $125 (5hr)
FlexBots being used... makea video about that please
It's to the point in my market where it is almost a necessity! Unless you settle for few and far between base pay.
What are those? Actually bots doing the job?
I love how these people don’t even drive themselves. You know you’re struggling and lazy when you don’t want to use your own car and own gas. That’s just really sad.
Ewe right off the bat that 5hr for $90? NOPE! Here base is $23, and they go for $115 and that's even tough to take.
biggest mistake is def not marking the packages with a marker and not putting 1-10 on front seat, 11-20 on back seat and 21-35 etc in the trunk... if u dont mark them u will have to look for each one and that takes 2 min x 30 packages = 1 hour wasted and late and u get flagged O.O
I never marked a package and I always finish early.
48 packages for a 5 hour route
Amazon flex is bullshit , $90 for 5 hours . While you use your car, gaz . Energy . Your time. That’s ridiculous
I always found the miles are not worth the pay in my area.
$0.90 isn’t losing money. It isn’t great, but it isn’t losing money.
cost me 10 cents/mile in fuel. dunno exactly about other cost other than insurance
You're talking way too much
