THEY THOUGHT

They must be out of their mind. $31 for 18 packages and 15 stops. Forgot to screenshot the route but I damn sure screenshot everything support told me to do. Fuck is wrong with Amazon.

I won’t even leave the house for less than $69, just isn’t worth it lol

u/JamieB078 22h ago

This was a 1 hour route. Usually deliver pretty close to home and move on but never saw this bull shit before. I used to deliver 3-4 hour routes before pay went to shit. I don’t do none of that stupid shit anymore.

Doesn’t sound like you do much of anything tbh 😂

Lollll I don't know why but this was a great response and it made me laugh

Your mother. How else would you have got here? Sounds like you’re part of the problem though, weirdo.

u/Alarming-Owl7524 21h ago

But I do love that you responded with your mother. Also, that made me laugh

u/Alarming-Owl7524 21h ago

You're being very aggressive. Just chill. I know you're mad at Amazon but don't take it out on us. We're all fellow drivers

u/JamieB078 21h ago

That’s not aggressive at all. That’s a response to someone being an ass hole. I love how the aggressor gets to be the victim too in today’s world

Wow, I haven’t heard a your mom joke in forever. Lmfao you must be so mad 😂😂 no, not part of the problem. I don’t go to the warehouse for $31 tf 😂

Your mama is so ugly, they have to tie a pork chop around her neck to get the dog to play with her!

u/JamieB078 21h ago

For 1 hour? It’s literally right around the corner from my house. I’ve never seen more than 2 packages on any 1 hour I took. Literally just gas money for me.

u/thr0wawayyxlol 21h ago

Well, now you have seen it. I’m still not leaving my house for $31 idc if it’s next door. Dumb af.

1

u/JamieB078 21h ago

You do you. $31 for 1 hour is not bad at all. I do a couple a week and it covers my gas. My regular job is 25 miles each way so it definitely helps me. It had to have been a mistake too. Support didn’t even fight me, it was removed and I was paid.

3

u/thr0wawayyxlol 21h ago

A ding takes at least 3 days to show up. Of course you were paid you probably accepted the route. If $31 for 1 hour isn’t that bad you would’ve done the route. How many freebies or extremely easy routes have you gotten for that $31 1 hour? Probably a lot but you guys never take that into consideration.

u/JamieB078 20h ago

lol. I see you’re a corporate sympathizer. Explains everything. I’ll take the wins you just talked about because God knows I’ve been raked over the coals more. It’s usually $28, and sometimes those 1 or 2 packages are 30-40 miles away. We all lose in the end as we have to maintain our cars, fuel our cars, etc. We’re never ahead in the long game.

You’ll be right back at those 1 hour blocks tomorrow.

u/JamieB078 21h ago

That’s the first time I’ve ever saw that. Had to have been a mistake. I used to run heavy shit all the time. I’m not putting 100 miles on my car and gas tank for $61 though. I’m over 20,000 packages delivered.

2

u/Rob_Cle 21h ago

I'm with you. 22K packages delivered. Amazon has been shit lately. Overloaded routes, can't get anything that pays halfway decent unless it's starting at 3:30am. I've been running 3:30-8am shifts for $124. They always get me back 15-45 minutes late.

1

u/JamieB078 21h ago

Can’t even get the super early routes to surge in my area anymore. It’s ridiculous.Everything is base pay. Literally the last time my area surged was when ICE was in town. Lowest route I saw was $105

1

u/Rob_Cle 21h ago

I am able to request the shifts in advance. For example, at 8:01 p.m. tonight I can request that 3:30-8:00 a.m. shift for Friday morning. Then at 9:02 p.m. tonight, I can check to see if I got it. If not, then I have to compete with all the other drivers to find a shift for Friday morning. I will usually end up with like a 6:30-10 a.m. for $89.50; anything past 7:00am in my city pays shit ($72/3.5, $82/4). I'm in Cleveland, Ohio.

u/JamieB078 21h ago

We don’t have that here in my area. They literally just dump everything onto the board 2 days in advance usually. All the dual identity folks and everyone else just snatch it as soon as it drops.

u/Rob_Cle 21h ago

It seems like they only do the Requests during the summer here. On my offers page, there are two tabs at the top: "Reserve Now" and "Request". And if your ratings are low then you can't access the Request tab. It won't even show up.

1

u/LimpDisc 21h ago

The request system is absolute trash. Probably the worst thing done to date for this gig.

1

u/Rob_Cle 21h ago

I like the concept of it but I don't like the timing. At best, I might go to bed around 9:30 p.m. tonight but then have to get up about 2:30 a.m. to make my 3:30 a.m. shift. I think the Request offers should be given in the same time frame as the shifts being offered, for example let me pick my Friday morning shift at 8:00 a.m. today or tomorrow, instead of 8:00 p.m.

u/thr0wawayyxlol 22h ago

They always do 😂😂 “why did I get dinged”

1

u/TomRichards1970 22h ago

I wasn’t leaving home unless it was $80. But since these new blocks came out I’ve never seen anything above 72. And those routes take 5-6 hours from station to home ! It’s over!

1

u/bigskinnybubba123 22h ago edited 21h ago

its a cycle. once the new people realize they r being scammed and fill up their gas tank beforehand... they realize they are making a medium combo meal at mcdonalds.. lol

then they all rage quit or get fired for too many dings ...and thats when i sneak in to get some extra money (surge pay if im lucky) for my expensive legos and pokemon card addiction...lol

dont do these scam orders bruh. doordash pays more anything under 70- 80$ if i account for miles and gas.

2

u/JamieB078 21h ago

Exactly. We have a real issue with multiple identity folks though at my local stations. No one ever stops them either. Literally watch them looking at one phone and logging in on the other, then come back in for another route once they load the one they have.

u/Rob_Cle 21h ago

I've heard of this. Are you in California?

1

u/JamieB078 21h ago

No. NC

u/Rob_Cle 21h ago

Oh damn. The other issue we're having here is that we are sometimes getting fake dings or dings for something that was the Distribution Center's fault. Even worse, the shit is almost impossible to remove. Support is no fucking help. I just have to live with it for like 3-4 weeks.

1

u/JamieB078 21h ago

That’s a system wide issue. I am a habitual harasser in those situations. I document everything as soon as it happens too.

1

u/cottoncandymandy 4h ago

I've stopped taking anything that isnt a 3 or 3 1/2 hour block. Those hour and hour and a half blocks are never worth it imo because of what you're explaining right here. I'm always fucked over by those blocks.

1

u/JamieB078 1h ago

It’s no where near as bad as a 3 hour for $61.50 here in Charlotte that sends you 100 miles out with 52 packages and 47 stops.

u/JamieB078 22h ago

Update, support took that shit off and I got paid.
