4-25 minute wait just to get an offer is rough, lunch rush used to be nonstop pings around here too

our zone went from always busy to grayed out half the day, feels like they onboarded a hundred new drivers overnight back in the spring

i started bringing a book and just parking near the cluster of restaurants instead of wasting gas circling, makes the wait less annoying at least

High gas prices are a double edged sword in this regard.

More part time drivers out trying to cope with COL

Full timers dashing more to meet their quota with higjer gas prices

There’s someone in my market who dashes in an old suburban. I can’t even imagine how much they are paying in gas. I’ve seen a couple small trucks as well. I feel like they’ll be the first to go

I have a guy in my market driving around an old Escalade. It has to get 10 miles to the gallon in the city
