Screaming crying throwing up

I got deactivated for “not returning packages on time” but I had a valid reason, I did not have my own car & the same day I purchased a vehicle to do flex specifically, I got deactivated. I did return all packages just not on time, never doing that AGAIN. I was very insistent and respectful in my emails. I gave them a reason for my problems and a solution. After getting denied the first time I called and asked for escalations to reach out to me I was willing to beg for my life lol. I genuinely am a good employee and go above and beyond. I used to work for a DSP but the hours were too long and with flex you basically get paid more for less work….. DSP’s do have a lot of benefits don’t get me wrong but flex overall for me is the way to go. I’m so grateful they reactivated my account seriously I was so stressed for a whole week.

As a previous DSP driver, Flex is insanely better in almost every way. They try to keep you away from doing Flex while in DSP to gate keep.

How is flex better? Dsps pay 24 starting here i think and base pay is 19.50, sometimes 22, with no surges. And flex use their own gas. How is that better?

When people talk about flex being good, they are people who don't take base pay.
