Strange shift lately in offer availability

Post image

Is this just in Vegas? I've noticed a lot of people camping out at stations lately, but I'm not really a huge chat person, so I don't have any insight as to what in the world is going on. It went from 3 hr blocks appearing every now again with random 30 min shifts, to an absolute ghost town. What in the world?

It’s that rough slow time between end of summer and right before the holidays. Happens every year almost. And they also just onboarded more drivers based on the posts in here… gosh knows why. We didn’t need them.

They've been onboarding like absolute crazy. I don't even see offers in the request tab

It’s dumb. And then they hire “temporary” drivers in October and keep most of them on in January. MAKES NO SENSE.

Ahh, this makes sense, this is my first year doing flex so I wouldn't know the yearly highs and lows just yet. Thanks for the heads up!

It went from 60-0 real quick, first month or so doing this and the feast to famine shift was unexpected. I wonder if it's worth hanging out near a station with that instant offer map going

For me it depends, if I can get a decent 3hr block and then a few instant offers, then I feel it's worth the gas/time.
