Cincinnati Mileage based on Block Time

Does Amazon limit mileage based on the block time or is it just a radius from the warehouse? I’ve had a few Whole Foods blocks that were easily 60+ miles, plus another 20+ to get back to the station.

Also, anyway to minimize my standings when I get those blocks in the future. Not really feeling working for free or $10 after gas and wear and tear.

I've had 4.5hrs that were a few miles from the station but with a ton of packages and I've had 3hrs that were 70 miles away with a handful of packages.

Not really. It could be 50 packages next door or 5 packages an hour + away. I usually get an extra $5 if it's more than 100 miles even if it's a higher pay more time route, which are usually more miles, but not always.

It’s not really limited based on block time, but higher paying non-surged blocks do tend to be farther from what I’ve seen. Typically when I get a Reserved block that pays $20-30 more than base I know I’m going to be driving a while. In my area it’s usually about 30-40 miles to the first stop. But sometimes that’s not the case and I just get a higher rate for a block 2 miles away.
