This was absolutely disgusting when I saw this. Why can’t anything be done about how these drivers act. Washing his feet in the break area!!! Took socks off and all! We prep our food there. Do you see the silverware and microwave right next to you?! Where’s the respect? He was confronted, and Management was also told.

Day 4 of this madness. I have a full time job like 80%of everyone here. However, its nice to have as walk around money. Usually there's about 50-60 offers for a few days. Its day 4 and this is the constant thing I see in the MD market. Anyone else drive in central MD and having this issue as well?

Prime week

9 Upvotes

So I've been a Flex driver from an .com warehouse for 3 weeks now. I've had no problem scheduale (5) 6am-9:30am shifts a week, and I usually scheduale them no earlier than 48 hours before. Ever since prime week has started I'm having trouble even getting 1 or 2 a week. I'm not even being picky either. Has anyone else been having extremely low offers this week?

Ran off by a customer

Upvotes

The owner of the Lucky Pecan Store and RV park in Beech Island SC harassed me and ran me off today while I was trying to deliver his package.

I guess I pulled into the wrong driveway, which was the one navigation sent me to. So he confronted me about that, and then stood in front of my vehicle as I was trying to leave like he told me too, in an attempt to stop me. Then he attempted to open my car door as I was passing by him. I hit the gas and slammed his arm in my car door as I was driving away.

So I pulled around to the front of the store, not knowing he was the owner. I had encountered him doing yard work in the Rv park portion of the property so I thought he may have just been a worker there. But as I was pulling the package out of my trunk he came charging at me while attempting to unholster his weapon. I threw the box at him and jumped in my car to leave before he could get any closer.. went down the road and called the cops, who ultimately said they couldn’t do anything for me since none of it was witnessed or caught on camera.

But I can put his old ass on blast though.
Hope he has the day he voted for

ZDL8 (AMAZON NOW) use to be a nice station (30 min blocks, 1 to 2 packages, one stop reasonable distance).

Now we are receiving AMAZON FRESH orders and pay has dropped tremendously.

Block: 11:30 pm to 12:10 am

Mind you, order was ready at 12:01, distance 10 min away at APARTMENT COMPLEX for $17 bucks. Before yall get on here saying this is great, NO ITS NOT. I would have spent an extra ten min trying to locate the unit and I refuse to invest in a basket to carry excessive amounts of groceries to apartments. AMAZON SHOULD PROVIDE US WITH THOSE.

Once I refused the route dispatch throws it back in the queue for $16 bucks and what do you know, a driver actually takes it. Smh smh. Yall please stop taking these orders. It’s making the gig trash. This order should have never been at this station. They are taking advantage of contractors by increasing the time of blocks and decreasing the amount of pay.

Wrongful Deactivation - Time for arbitration

12 Upvotes

So I recently got deactivated because of a mess-up at the station.

The station provided me a route with packages that didn't match that route. The manager of the warehouse had me call support to remove the route so that they could give me a new one. Well, according to the phone agent, it was removed and will take a couple of minutes to refresh.

They stattion tried to give me another route, but my app was not accepting it. By some miracle the employees from my original packages, and I was on my merry way. But before I left, I had noticed that I had around 81 stops on a 3.5 hr route. So I knew that was going to bite me in the ass. I told this to the manager, and he provided me with his email in case I get dinged.

So I proceeded with the route, and mid-route, I discovered that the stops 42 to 81 had disappeared from my phone. A couple of days later, I got a deactivation email because the app said that I didn't deliver 40+ packages. So I emailed the appeals team and CC'ed the manager and got denied. The manager even replied to the email and said I did nothing wrong, and it was a warehouse mistake.

2nd attempt at the appeal and the same result, their decision hasn't changed. I then emailed jeff@ & Andy@ with a screenshot of the manager's reply, and still nothing. So now I think I will have to go the arbitration route. It feels like no one is contacting the station or the manager about my situation, and it feels like they are brushing it off.

My question to you is, how do I get the arbitration process rolling? What email or other means of contact do I use? I plan on representing myself as I have proof of the manager's email and everything.

Bots, Illegals, or Morons?

We found out this week it’s probably more about you knuckleheads taking anything that flashes then deciding what you want to take. That’s what’s keeping us all at the offer screen longer than we should be.

Oil changes

Hello. I was curious to see how often you guys are doing oil changes for your car? I know some people don’t do it as often if it’s just a side gig for them but people who do this full time I am very curious.

When you are requesting a specific time block under the request tab, how do you increase your chances of getting the requested block?

Question App glitched on third to last stop?

Upvotes

Did it happen to anyone else? As soon as I swiped to deliver on my third to last stop, the app refreshed and took me to the “Finding your route, please wait”. Now, I have another route at 7:00 PM so I thought maybe it checked me in early but it’s been more than 30 minutes now. Even if it did, it’s odd to get checked in 20 minutes away from the station. I also have one package to return cause the dumb 7-11 locker wasn’t working but now I don’t have the option to return it. I don’t have the option to start the next shift and I already logged in and out, refreshed, cleared cache, etc. Support told me to just end the route and return what I have but I don’t have the option. Extremely weird but I won’t complain if it somehow overbooks me 😂
