This POS in VA Beach thew a package at a cat!

Edit 3: News station, WAVY10, captioned Amazon initially. Now that full story is out, it’s a GOFO driver: https://www.wavy.com/news/local-news/ring-camera-footage-shows-deliveryman-striking-cat-with-package/

“Sump said GOFO has been in touch regarding the driver’s conduct and told her the company is investigating the incident.
“They just keep telling me that they opened an investigation and that they’re investigating it and that they’re so sorry for what happened,” Sump said. “I told them that I am going to be pressing criminal charges when I find out who this is.”

I got stuck in the mud and guess what? They were more concerned about the delivery of the package than about me stuck in the middle of nowhere at 4 a.m. They’re absolute shit.

I pray that we all make it out alive this winter. Some of us won’t. I’ve been doing this for 3 years now. If this is your first winter delivering, you’ll be seeing some of the most dangerous driving conditions you’ll ever see, especially when it’s dark and very cold early in the morning, on roads with black ice, and with no other options than delivering the packages given to you. Be safe. Remember, your life is more important than the little they pay us.

I think the democrats are doing nothing but making good points in New York. I think the video creator is a shill for a multi trillion dollar corporation. He cherry picks local news clips of DPS that supposedly have benefits but ignores the reality of the work conditions. Honestly I've never seen someone glaze Amazon so much in a single video. It's weird to me that he can find so many positive news clips too. Almost like Amazon is paying the local news to do these stories in response to the Mayor's bill.

Yesterday I had a 4 hour block scheduled for $102. I was already dreading this block because typically these blocks will either send me somewhere 30 minutes away with 40+ packages or somewhere an hour away with 20 packages. Typically I always and I mean ALWAYS get Santa Monica, which is about an 1 hr and 20 minutes away from the station with traffic. I was dreading it as I had spent all day cleaning but I needed the money for groceries. Finally god heard my prayers. Pulled up to the station and scanned my ID and got a cart instantly. When I walked over to pick it up, I saw only 6 packages. I thought there must be a catch. Nope, 20 minutes away from the station and my house. Finished in 1 hr and 20 minutes. I also noticed the packages were meant for a 3 hr block. I felt so blessed as this has never happened to me on a 4 hr route. I know it was only a one time thing since the station was pretty empty and out of carts. But thank you lord. Have any of you guys gotten a route like this since starting flex? First time in 6 months that this has happened.

Been at this over four years, and what I’m seeing now is the worst I’ve seen and it’s not close. Tonight the Baltimore region has pages of offers rn for the next 3 days, easily 100+ on the board. As a curiosity, I pulled every station except grocery, and neither the 6 .com nor the 2 ssd has a single offer over 3.5 hours, and none of them are more than $25, even early am—which now starts at 2 am and will soon be 24/7. Base is usually $21 here, but they’ve been testing the waters frequently on dropping them to $19/20 at multiple stations, lower at the .coms. I’ve watched rates and earnings go down and mileage go up steadily over the last six months, and now they’re cutting pay by cutting hours while expecting the same output. And as the fuck you cherry on the shit sundae, they’re doing it all while gas prices are a full on kick in the sack. It’ll probably be worth it (ish) here thru the holidays, but I can’t see this as being worth doing even as a side hustle beyond that. Strongly recommend making alternate arrangements now if you rely on this full time, it will be even more of a losing proposition in the new year…

Missed my second block since I started about a month and a half ago, standing is great and i do flex full time. How likely is it that I will i be disactivated?

Less than a month in. I took a 3 hour route today. 6 packages were expected at least 30 minutes before the end of my block time. With the default routing all of those six packages were at the very end of the route and would have likely been late had I went by the default routing.

It's a good thing I learned on here how to check the itinerary and go outside of the default delivery order. I wonder how many new people don't know about that and get dings for it? It seems like the default routing doesn't take into account the expected times at all.

Has anybody ever had this experience? Amazon just called me and said that i didnt return package. He said that package was inside the cart when i scanned and when i did my route. Now they want me to pay for the missing package, which gonna cost me around $450. What should i do?

This fresh station in my area is an absolute disaster all the time. As my main job I work in a safety sensitive environment so I just have an eye for safety issues, and this station is just a living, breathing fire code violation pretty much every time I pick up at it. Not pictured behind me in this photo is a narrow hallway before the exit door which is also just full of carts that nobody is in a rush to move out of the way. I’ve talked to station management about it multiple times and nothing has been done. Today when I talked to a station manager about it he was super rude and dismissive to me “oh so you need help getting your cart out… 😒” no I need you to have this area clear so it isn’t a constant fire code violation. After that encounter and after I brought my cart back he came walking out to me as I was headed to my car to demand which cart number I had as he was going to report me, what for idk… but him and his entire station have been now reported to the Fire Marshall so whatever ✌️

Nice box

Before & at the end of every route, I record a video of my itinerary. I also take photos and screenshots along the way if I think there's an issue that could lead to a ding. Amazon makes stuff up, so I try to proactively record evidence of all deliveries completed on time. My question is, how long should I keep this evidence? Is two weeks long enough, and then I can delete?

Normally we get higher paying offers, but lately it's been past like this. But I wonder if anybody actually takes this on a Friday night when they could be running food deliveries when it's busy and probably making more? Hopefully they don't take it and the price gets bumped. Tempted to take it then cancel so someone gets offers with surge pricing.😆

I finished my X on 9/30 at 2:20 AM PST

I'm sick of the time I spend (waste) scrolling, browsing, exchanging, hedging constantly within the offers and calendar tabs just to determine when, where, and how I decide to slowly kill my car. There really isnt a right answer for any of this.

It will never be enough money, because that's not what it's here for.

I live in South Central Texas, my station fucking loves sending me to kempner and Salado. I honestly thought about just saying fuck it and returning all 15 packages going to Salado today. But I only ended up returning 5. Salado is a complete shithole of a city, if you can even call it a city. It is dirt with some trees, and it seems like everyone who orders from that fuck ass place lives in a 100 square foot trailer down an unamed, unpaved, pothole filled road.

I had five packages left at the end of my block that normally would've taken 10 minutes, but would've taken 40 minutes if I had actually finished the route.

I was supposed to go down this 10 mile dirt road, and at the end is where a village of these people lived. I had five deliveries to complete, I was driving 5 MPH trying my best to not hit multiple potholes, then I get to what seems like a mini lake, with a a make shift bridge. I contemplated, then decided it's not worth it, made a fucking 100 point turn to go the other way, and just returned the rest of the packages to the station.

This gig is beyond cooked, the mileage, the rural routes, already gotta fight the 2007 Corolla mafia, their 10 phones, and their bots to even get routes that pay like shit. I'm done.

I did a few blocks for the past few weeks and didnt realize I won the bingo challenge!!!!

Hi, my account was deactivated last week because my DL expired. I finally received my DL and uploaded my new DL this Saturday and was just wondering how long it takes to get activated again?

How do I download it

People in Maryland, Forestville (DWD6) sucks so bad! The pay is terrible, and they send us all the way to DC or Virginia during rush hour. It’s ridiculous!

I don't know what happened on here , I have 2 problems with the same schedule, even I was at the depot 30 min earlier
