Amazon just lowered base pay this week here in Minneapolis. Went from $117.50 down to $115 for a 5 hour. It was $120 a year ago. 😢

After Covid everything went up but Amazon pay. I only do surge pay as well anything after that isn’t worth it. Stay going in the farmland area rocks dirt etc. tires get nails in them , construction and road close causing you to have to go the long way around and mileage is too high along with putting gas in the car. Base pay isn’t worth it and yes they have added more package. You might get done 15 to 30 minutes before the route is over, not worth the hassle unless the pay has surged.

Mannnn you hit the nail on the head! I do flex and boy one route they had me in the country country It was scary and it didn’t feel safe. I have so many issues with Amazon flex. Now I’m noticing that there aren’t many route options for me at the specific warehouse I pick up at. But anywho if you decide to do another route could you make a video on how you do the food delivery routes? I’ve never tried that one before but curious. I’ve also downloaded so many apps and I have been sitting on the waiting list for mostly all of them. So my options have been limited I’m looking for more work.

Accepting base rate anytime is exactly what they want you do do. I NEVER accept base rate. My wages with flex has been going down for a year and a half. Base rate has gone down as well. Base rate is a joke. Having no idea where you're going for low wages is for people sending the money to other countries.

The SSD routes are the absolute worst. If I take a five hour block, I am guaranteed a more than 100 mile route, and because the app does not do a good job accounting for traffic, half of those deliveries will be late. I’m getting really tired of fighting dings because they have a terrible app.

@ToyaDrives
Ай бұрын
Depends on the route but here's an example. If I had a 3 hour block that was right next to the warehouse and it had less than 30 packages, I could do that in a little over 2 hours or less if I'm lucky. Assuming the stops are pretty close to each other, I could deliver on average 10-12 packages each hour. Even a scenario with a longer drive to the first delivery. I had a route one time for 9 packages in Indiana. 3 hour block. I think it was a 45 minute drive to the first stop but I did all 9 deliveries in an hour. Yes I still had to drive back but technically the block was complete within 2 hours These numbers obviously wouldn't apply to every route. Some routes are in very rural areas and you may be driving 10 minutes or more in between stops but there should be a good package ratio so you still have enough extra time at the end to spare But so far since I've done a few blocks these last couple months, it's been pretty much impossible to get done that early because we are getting more packages on our blocks at least from what I have seen

@@ToyaDrives wow I’ve Never had that many packages before 9? I always get anywhere between 25 to like 35 packages. And sometimes them joints be super heavy smh. I’m always far out within in my city. It always takes me like 30 or longer mins just to get to my first stop. And on top of that I’m in like 3 different cities delivering packages. It’s actually horrible how the coordinate the routes. I had one route that had me in the country and it took me anywhere from 10 up to 15 mins just to get me to my next stop. It was so scary I had all winding roads and once it got dark it was pitch black. Couldn’t see nothing.

You don't have to follow the route in the app you can rearrange the stops, don't crisscross the road if possible do everything on one side then start on the other. Even if that means stop 10 becomes stop 1. Make it easy for you.
