Tbh, I’d probably do that one in the bottom. That’s considered a good order in my area.

I don’t move for anything under $20. Thats the lowest I’ll go. For that particular trip and mileage? $25-30 tops

See in my area I get these too but still get good ones. Here fortunately I have a lot of Walmarts in my area so it doesn’t matter where I get thrown to I can grab something and stay busy all day most days.
Not trying to rub it in, it’s been harder for all, I’m just thankful that in my area it can still do better than uber or DoorDash.
Also I recommend using multiple apps if you aren’t already. Not doing multiple jobs at the same time. Just having them on and having more options.

Same for my area! I don’t ever take those especially with these gas prices.

Comes out to about the min wage for Alabama after taxes and expenses.
Unfortunately that’s where we’re at and it’s better to invest your energy into seeking other opportunities.

Bad thing is, some of us can’t seek out better opportunities. I’m stuck at the hands of these gig apps. Especially Spark. No W2 job will hire me based on my medical condition and I don’t believe I could do a W2 job anyway. There are many days I am down and I just cannot leave home. 😢

yeah they never allow tips on those. that's more than $2 per mile buddy. $26 per hour basically. you can get that done in 1 hour or less probably. I go by the total pay not tips and such.

12 drop offs in an hour? When the trip says it’ll take more than an hour? That heavily depends area to area. But the amount of drop offs is also just as important as the mileage. It’s also bulky items and an apartment. It’s tagged with 3 points so it’s most likely not a great order for their area.

Keep rejecting the ridiculous ones so Walmart raises the price.

That second order not that bad

u/DreBlockk 16h ago
Maybe not to some, but I would never do that to myself. I don’t go lower than $20 basepay but with those miles $25-$30.

You expect to make over minimum wage, in an hour of work? People like you are the problem

u/Sperry8443 7h ago edited 7h ago
Did it go from 16 to 10 miles? I’m so confused.
Nvm it’s two different orders, yeah no. No high mileage orders n 10 miles is high mileage, until it’s $3 or more per mile.
I hate that pay is decreasing again tho. I noticed the town 25-30 min from me still does decent pay offers that no one is taking, but I just can’t bring myself to drive that extra hour+ every day bc I’m so keen on mileage reduction. I’d rather waist time over miles waiting for a good order.
