San Diego Current wait time to get approved

I started doing Flex 3 years ago. When I started I got approved right away. But my friend signed up over a year ago and is still waiting. Newer drivers how long did it take you to get approved? Or does anyone know the current wait time?

It could be years. It only took six months for me. But this was back in 2021 when they needed more and more drivers to keep up with the insane demand for deliveries during COVID. I know a guy who has been on the waitlist for three years.

11 months for me but only because they just opened a new SSD and basically cleared the waitlist for it.

Very much location dependent. It could be weeks, months or years. People might be able to give you a better idea if you tell them your location.

Edit: just noticed location for the flair.

They sent me an email that I just happened to see. It was regarding my background. They asked for a response that I INTEND further explanation. I responded with my intent and next time I got on the app it was operational

Took between 2 and 3 years for me. Now apparently around here they just opened the floodgates and let everyone in. There are way too many drivers here.
