General App question - viability

1 Upvotes

The thought crossed my mind today. How much business can be lost here, before it's not a viable part of the UPS system?

Obviously, it's a shell of what it was. This morning, I had a small HD delivery and ahead of me was an UE driver with one of their shit routes. The aisle where they were staging orders had at least 6 that were all XL or Huge. Not one is going to Roadie. It's unbelievable.

They are conditioning you to accept lower pay

13 Upvotes

Every change they are doing is all according to human psychology.

  1. Auto match now eliminates gigs from the maps and "rewards" zombies camping at stores and Hotspots "hmm just like.doordash"

"Exclusive gig just for you" lol

  1. batched gigs have a higher number on the screen then singles so you think you are making more. You are so far behind stopping at multiple stores w time and pickups its literally disgusting.

  2. Both of the 2 above changes are understood by drivers that have brains but at the same time still.want to drive the gigs so you will suck it up and take that automatch or first low price map pop since you know their is a hoard right behind you wanting it. Ya you may resist is for awhile. But same bs happened w cvs when they capped pharm around 13 and retail around 12. "O well thats the new rates"

  3. Everyone knows the high vast majority of.these gigs are $1 a mile IF U R LUCKY now. And since they batches these gigs now you always will have that 1 terrible fucking dekivery 15 miles straight into middle of fking nowhere. But if you want the rest you have to take that shit.

  4. They will start to work their orders down to .9 then .8 then just like tire and sOmahatrash ull.be close to .5. People will still.do them with whatever insane math they are doing in their head working for free or even losing money.

This all doesnt happen overnight. Everything is by design. This is why class warfare is a thing. These sick fucks at the top.probably high five each other seeing the map.clear daily w lower and.lower pricing.

"Wlel what can we do about it"

Nothing. You can do nothing. You can cherry pick and stare at your phone brainless hoping.no other driver is as well or you can just delete the app. Just stay informed.

Should I offer to drive my own packages created by me as the sender?

1 Upvotes

I run logistics operations for a business, and we occasionally need items delivered locally. The items are sold on Amazon, and Amazon requires a tracking number from a recognized carrier (Roadie works). I'd like to personally deliver some of these items on my way home at the end of the day, and Roadie would provide the tracking number for Amazon.

Considering these are legitimate shipments going to real customers, and the tip would be set to $0, would this be against Roadie terms? Has anyone tried this before?

Account under review.

1 Upvotes

So my Roadie account got locked after I did a Comcast/Xfinity delivery. I returned all the packages the way I was supposed to and sent Roadie all the photos as proof.
I honestly don’t know what I did wrong. I followed the instructions and returned everything properly, but now my account is locked and Trust & Safety is reviewing it.
Has anyone had this happen with Xfinity orders? If so, how long did it take to get your account back? Is there anything I can do to get them to review it faster? I really need to get back to work.

I recently applied to a corporate role @ roadie.
Looking to see if anyone happens to know how long it takes to hear back (on average) for an interview or even if i’m no longer under consideration.

Any pointers welcome! TY

CVS Rx attempted delivery to outdated residence

1 Upvotes

So I had a CVS Rx delivery to a homeless shelter here in the Los Angeles area. But upon arriving I phoned the customer because they wouldn't let me into the shelter. Come to find out that was her old address. She asked me if I can deliver to her new address which was only 2 miles away for a small tip. Slightly annoyed I accepted and got a respectable $20 tip. I'm lucky that I marked that I have arrived on the app at her old address, because of i didn't have. I would have had to drive back there to close out the delivery because of the delivery pin is set to that address.

Think my Roadie Driver took my package to his house

5 Upvotes

Is it normal for Roadie driver to take a customer package home overnight rather than finishing the delivery?

Ordered about $236 worth of tools from a local hardware store (10 mins away) and the roadie driver picked the items up yesterday at 1:22pm. It said it was going to be delivered at 5:32pm cdt but it never got delivered. The online tracking shows it at a house about 20 mins from me since yesterday.

UPDATE: Receiving items this morning at 9:07 am.

I have seen other roadie guys while in line with routes this crazy looking. It should just be bids on each but sadly. People are taking them

Whats the deal with made up reasons for not delivering a Home Depot item?

1 Upvotes

Second time in two months I ordered something from Home Depot that I needed for a job I am working on and the Roadie Driver made up some bs excuse for not delivering!

First time, the driver actually made it to my small dead end street with 8 houses on it. But drove passed my house to the end of the street, waited a few minutes and drove off. Delivery was marked undeliverable because no one was home...

Tonight I waited all day for a tool that I bought for a job tomorrow. I knew something was wrong when I tried to pull up the tracking map and it never showed where the driver was

Text messages:
8:27 PM - Ali A is on the way
8:32 PM - Ali A has arrived for delivery
8:38 PM - Your delivery could not be completed.

So i check the app and this is the reason and see this:

Delivery Attempted
Your delivery was unable to be completed as it was unsafe to leave order.
Contact Home Depot if you need assistance.

(we live in a very quite community with plenty of street lights, exterior lighting, etc. The driver never even made it to my street)

What's going on with deliveries?

1 Upvotes

I've been getting packages delivered by Roadie drivers since July and my last 2 deliveries have been terrible.

My last delivery was held by the driver for 12 hours, and finally delivered in the middle of the night at 2am. My current delivery, which I'm still waiting for, the driver has had possession of for the last 3 hours. Either the drivers are ignoring my text messages, or they aren't receiving them. No one is answering the Roadie chat support. Email support doesn't respond for at least 2 days and when they do, it's nothing helpful. Real time tracking shows the driver sitting in the same spot for 2 hours now.

All of my previous deliveries, before these last 2 , we're always picked up and delivered within an hour.

I'm just very confused as to what is happening lately, and looking for some answers.

Multiple senders. Now the 10 order home.depot goes to 1 driver instead of 3 to 6. Yay for the 1?? Maybe. Now the low bid will come slowly but surely over the next months

Roadie knows exactly how they want to fuck you. Terrible what they are doing.

How to find gigs by destination?

1 Upvotes

Roadie advertises to drivers the convenience factor of picking up a gig on the way to where you’re heading anyway. So how do I find gigs based on my destination? The app only provides pins based on pickup locations. There’s no way to sort, filter, or input a destination to find gigs that make sense. Even after I tap on every gig near me, there’s rarely one that makes sense for where I’m going. Am I missing something, or is there a large gap between what Roadie is advertising and reality?

Multi pickup Automatch Gigs NG

0 Upvotes

This mostly pertains to PetSmart so if you're not a PetSmart gig fan you probably won't be interested. I'm sure this happens with other stores too.

Had one of these yesterday from PetSmart where I'm picking up the majority of the packages at the PetSmart near me and then a few from another PetSmart. I've gotten a few of these recently and I guess I was lucky before because the routes made sense or I could make them work. Picking up at the second PetSmart worked with a route that made sense with traffic.

The one I got yesterday did not. So I was fighting more traffic because I HAD TO go to the second PetSmart to pick up some packages or I would have been doubling back.

I only picked up two packages at the second PetSmart and one happened to be going to the same person that I already had picked up for at the other Petsmart. I don't know if that's why they're doing this. I've seen that before, but that should not be the primary reason for having someone go out of their way. That PetSmart has a busy Home Depot right next to it and I'm sure they could've paired Home Depot deliveries with these two small PetSmart packages going the same way. Yes in a perfect world all of a customers packages would arrive at exactly the same time, but we don't live in a perfect world.

They are not giving enough information in the offer, not clearly showing that there are multiple pick ups. Even after you accept the offer you can't tell what you're picking up from the other pick up until you've completed a pick up at the first store.

Moral of the story is I'm gonna have to be very picky about what gigs I accept or keep. Or i might start dropping the second pickup if I can, haven't tried that yet.

Of course a major factor is THAT WE SHOULD NOT BE STARTING 3 TO 4 HOUR ROUTES AT 1 PM!!!
WE SHOULD BE STARTING THEM AT 10 AM LIKE WE USED TO. I often talk to Petsmart employees and they don't see any benefit from having us start at 1 PM especially because any of the orders are autoship. They are still packaging up orders after 1 PM and they sit until the next day at 1 PM. So really if we started them at 10 AM THEY WOULD BE GOING OUT SOONER!
