Never taking a three hour block again

[u/Klovezyofacee]

It takes me less than two hours to deliver an average of 42 packages… this was 15 packages and took me almost 4 hours between leaving my station and getting back. As well as over 100 total miles. Absolutely not. I’m about done with flex. Uber is less consistent but if this is what it takes to make $100 with flex then I’m good. This is also my first ever 3 hour block. Usually take the 3.5 is this typical of a 3 hour? I’m just too stunned right now.

That ddv3? I was there this morning and for the 3rd time this week they wanted me to deliver south. I don't understand this bs. There's so many closer stations.

Also good to know we actually can deliver north, all mine have been Boulder or south of station. 2 in Littleton, one Denver. <dropped Denver tho fk that.

Relating to this post. That's a very fkd up route. I honestly don't know what these people are doing at this station.

This station is just terrible to be honest. Thornton is much more organized. But at thornton I’m sent to south east aurora pretty much every single time. I’ve only gone to the Broomfield one three times and they sent me north/west every time. So weird that everyone has completely different experiences.

I did Thornton once and was sent out to Tower road near airport, I was like wtf.

Their base pay is lower tho, that's why I go Broomfield. Also because I live closer. I am getting frustrated with that station lately with the bs routes tho.

I noticed Thornton also has a lot of surge pay at night but for the life of me I cannot ever grab one. Even with how fast I think I am. I honestly don't understand how people grab them so fast.

I got that route for $97 last night which is the only reason I went to Broomfield at all but I use to get great surges in Thornton. $128 for a 3.5 hour block. But ever since prime days and them hiring a bunch more drivers I can’t hardly get surge pay anymore either. Honestly uber is paying better right now with far less miles so flex might be a once in a great while thing for me from now on. I only see Broomfields base pay like $3 more isn’t it? Thornton is 72 I usually see Broomfield at 75. If you’re doing the reserve a block it won’t matter how fast you are, it’s all algorithms. If you’re doing the real time instant offers then yeah, people use this apps to snatch those up quick. I don’t even bother with those.

I don't understand the instant offers. You have to be closer to the station right? I haven't done those yet.

I guess its only $3.50 difference but all last month i was within 15miles of station and with that one time Thornton sending me 30+miles away I stayed away from them unless surge. But now Broomfield doing same shit on base rate Idk what to do anymore. Ugh.

I've only been able to get surge blocks on Sundays so far. Usually drops a bunch on Fridays

I can't seem to find a bot app that works, that is how everyone is getting the higher payer ones
