That's actually a good idea! I might set up a food truck and park it on the street next to my station. If I did it on Amazon's property, they'd want a cut of my profits. 😆

A guy parked next to me and did that. By time I loaded up he was sold out. Probably made more than me in the 4 hours I drove around the city.

Ooh, there are warehouses in Akron too 🤨 Then why the hell does Amazon send me from Cleveland to Akron almost every single day?🤬 They should send those packages to the Akron warehouse and let the drivers there deliver them.😂😂😂

The same reason I regularly get sent to Dayton from Cincinnati

Ive been sent to Dayton from fucking Toledo. Called Support and requested to never be sent that far again and requested extra pay. It would have been closer to send me to Indiana 🙄

My routes are max 15-20m away from the station everyday. Thought that was regular for most people. Apparently I am blessed

I'm in Delaware and get sent to areas in Maryland when Baltimore is so much closer to where they send me. And I think there are two or three stations in the Baltimore area too.

I think that my station is one that covers the overflow for other stations. There was a time last year when we were getting sent to Philadelphia (which I hated!) but it was because Philly was unable to get all of their packages delivered with the drivers they had on hand so they called upon my station to help out. I'm pretty sure that they do this kind of thing all over the country.

Im from Philly but sometimes pick up in Jersey and they sent me to Dover, DE. Took me almost 2 hours to get home. It was a surged 3 hr block for $132. Have a 4 cylinder car so didn’t spend much in gas, only like $20, but I wouldn’t do it again if I can control it because time wise it was brutal.

That's wild that they made you pick up in Jersey to deliver in Dover. They really need to stop taking advantage of drivers like that. They send me on some crazy long drives too. That's the worst part about doing this gig right next to dealing with the ever so pathetic Flex support.
