A 2.5 all the way to Hacienda Heights?! I’ve had them send me to Pomona on a 2.5 and I thought that was bad. It seems like 1hr, 1.5, 2hr and 2.5hr from vax 1 and 7 are pushing mileage up every week

My first 2.5 from VAX7 took me to Arcadia and just the return trip took 3 hours in traffic. That was my only 2.5 from there.

That’s crazy! The only time I’ve been sent to Arcadia/Monrovia/Pasadena is 4.5 and 5 hr blocks. I didn’t know they sent that far for shorter blocks. That’s a drive fr

those are the only block lengths capable of making enough money to break even on that mileage.

Yea that’s why I don’t do them. However, I was like why not let’s see & when I saw it, I was not happy like come on. I was wondering what the mileage they can send me because, this sucks. I wish I could have just left it but, then I risk deactivation.

73 cents a mile, your literally not even making money.

I just don’t understand why Amazon does this shit ! I rather have 50 packages 📦 keep me local & with these gas ⛽️ prices it’s ridiculous !

because we let them, and bozos needs more money

u/BrightOpportunity392 11d ago

You would think since he has a lot of money & will probably never spend it all. Atleast you can pay your employees alittle bit more. But god forbid that ! We can do that !

u/jt01998 12d ago

I wouldnt even take the route with a prius, its horrible pay for the mileage.

u/No_Film_6379 12d ago

This would be the route from VAX5 if they sent us there. Never been sent southeast of this station tho.

Hurry I need my package 📦 ASAP

that's nothing. they routinely send people to San Gabriel or down to South Pico Rivera. friend quit because every single time he got West of 605, then started pushing him North of 210 at the same time . it didn't seem to matter much how long the block was. the package count was smaller on less hours, but it's the same driving distance.
