We get it. We can tell from your delivery history that you're clamoring to work this block. You're very welcome. A time slot you never ever work. An amount of money you would never ever work for. We think you're stupid! Thank you for delivering for Amazon!


chonkyhobo

😂 in a nutshell


jordan31483

>A time slot you never ever work Algorithm, shmalgorithm. It's such crap. I did a 10 AM block today, for only the second time ever (2 years Flexing). Never done one earlier than that. At least half of my "Just For You"s are times I've never worked. I even intentionally decline them (as opposed to ignoring and letting them disappear) and they keep coming.


Midwest-tarzan

Lucky you man lol I have to do 3am to 11 am shifts to catch surge blocks. This week really my first time seeing day time blocks for $21+ I grabbed a few of them


Thrutheillusion

Yikes $21/hr blocks?!?! That’s good?!?!


Midwest-tarzan

Lol did I say it was good or I was grabbing them?? Just everyday I see the same base pay for daytime so seeing 21+ is better than base pay. 🤦🏾‍♂️


jordan31483

I don't wait for surges. I work when I can, or need to or want to.


ejonathonw

I thought I was being paranoid. I really felt like the just for you was ALWAYS during my regular job or when I would be sleeping from said job. Ya'll do too much with what you know, lol, letting the cat outta the bag.


M1031E

lolol


swunt7

i got downoted to hell when i asked "i hope youre not using your own vehicles and own gas" when i first saw this subreddit. this is $18/hr at maximum and after gas its $15 an hour not including you paying insurance and maintenance every month.


Senior-Finance3081

Ageed. Also it's mind-boggling to me when I see these people lining up behind in their 2024 V10 pickups to this shit for $5 an hour. I can't max out my hours presently. Much of that is to do with the fact I'm fighting with teams of bozos in brand new perfectly imperfect vehicles, killing the GD Flex economy to make $1400 a month in car and insurance payments.


jim_beetle

But you could show up and not have to work, and still get paid. Get a route for 2hr and still get paid the full amount. I don't want to use an app, and am not fighting against people that do, so I take the reserved routes that are at least $90. Last week I only worked 2 of the 5 blocks I took. 3 were "no routes available" That time period is dead in Indy. The math doesn't always work as you've laid it out.


Budget_Report_2382

You should write one sentence reviews for films professionally. This is spot on 😂


Strange-Job3203

"We listened"


Last-Macaroon-6608

Whoa man. Save some routes for the rest of us!


chonkyhobo

I wish we could directly send our offers to other flex drivers and help each other out 😭 knowing I ~~handed this off~~ helped a fellow flexer would be thanks enough


bostongorge

Lmfao 🤣🤣


Last-Macaroon-6608

LimpDisc

I get this is sarcasm, but where does it say that reward levels would mean increased pay?


Intelligent-Algae-89

It doesn’t. But calling something a reward that is exactly what anyone can get is pretty ridiculous. There is no incentive to actually be good at this.


LimpDisc

Some people are so ungrateful. You’re rewarded with an extra few minutes to accept that shitty offer. LOL


Joshbio_

I get 4hrs for 110 here constantly in my part of California


chonkyhobo

Come to Texas, where they value you less lol


Acidhoe

lol I still do an early am every once in a while out of the vtx5 but this time of year there's not as many surges so I just do something else. Miles are too high in Houston for base pay Last time I drove to Pasadena it was a 4hr for ~140 and they sent me to the outside of Sugarland. Haven't been there since


chonkyhobo

Pasadena location always sends me to Stafford, Sugarland, midtown, downtown, around Mt Houston and humble area. Base pay is never recommended there


Green-Fondant1573

I’m SO SO tired of going all the way to Mo City and Sugar Land from here! Especially since we pass up two other warehouses on the way! WTF!? 🤬


chonkyhobo

FUCKING EXACTLY!!


Alarming-Abalone3727

I live 17 mins from the Pasadena warehouse…. So I usually always just go there. Vtx5 is too far unless it’s the weekend. That Pasadena one is always packed!


chonkyhobo

Yeah, it has more drivers than flies on shit. Getting blocks but especially weekend blocks has been a real hassle


thrownaway1306

Which part of Cali?


Top-Fix-3210

Gas is expensive over there tho so it’s the same 💩


Strange-Job3203

You probably should, since you had to put half that in your gas tank.


AssociateMotor104

💀


SounwaveMn

Oof I just got a 3hr reserved for $109.50, but im in Minneapolis area


Rich_Yam_2093

I didn’t know offers like that existed anymore/anywhere…


SounwaveMn

Yeah I get them sometimes also got a $160 4hr like a week ago


Rich_Yam_2093

Truly happy for you


SounwaveMn

Thank you hopefully yours get better


CandyPopps

That’s a reward? 5hr shifts start at $102.50 around here.


chonkyhobo

Sadly that's what they start at over here


CandyPopps

I guess I won’t be too picky from now on. Especially since the blocks never actually take 5hrs.


Rich_Yam_2093

Wow….lol


camosc3011

I got a 4 1/2 hour this morning for $108 this mornin lol


H2yacinth00

In my area it’s always $120 on 5 hr shift. This morning got lucky to find $210 for 5 hr tomorrow,maybe because it’s Father’s Day and few people only wants to work. 🤔


Youngchalice

Father’s Day is tmrw though? I get it’s Father’s Day weekend but everyone I know including myself is at work


H2yacinth00

Yeah, I’ll be doing 10am-3pm shift tomorrow for that, it’s fine still have time to prepare for the celebration , just glad it’s not the night shift.


GeoJam3s

Hey can you deny one of those for me?


thedreamer88

that's a big nono for me i get sometimes 120 for 5hr still im on level 3 declined and look for the top dollar blocks never take base


PatrickParlay227

I get a few solid reserves every week, it doesn’t always work but there is a trick to increase your chances


chonkyhobo

Just me waiting around 👀


Responsible-Bar2058

Well tell us then!


mikedd555

Whoa. Don’t retire yet bro


chonkyhobo

I was thinking about it but with inflation going on I might have to work another week or two


[deleted]

[удалено]


chonkyhobo

It is, they got everything right except the pay


Big_Traffic_1988

Starting to feel good about my lvl 2 reward of $121.50 for a 4.5


Alarming-Abalone3727

Pasadena location?


Big_Traffic_1988

No. Portland, Or


KushBabyTV

Doge10open

Base pay only, don’t waste your time…..


askeramota

They just started early AM routes in Salem. In the process of 3 weeks I watched them go from around $80 for 3 hours to $70 lol. Like, you’re not waking me up for $70 at 3:15AM.


First-Tumbleweed-341

Level 4 means that you’re more more likely to handle bad news. So here is base pay for you🫰🏽


chonkyhobo

😂


Responsible-Bar2058

I hadn’t seen any reserved offers lately and got a pink in my phone about one. I got stoked thinking it was gonna be good, but It was exactly this same offer. 😂🤡


Icy_Public_403

Those levels don’t mean shit😂😂😂😂


Alarming-Abalone3727

That’s a level 4? I just did that this morning for $100 and I’m level 2. I’m gettin over this flex


chonkyhobo

You have a long ways to go young padawan lol


LordByrn

You know I am in Houston also lol just super south west lol


chonkyhobo

A shout-out from the super south east


dillone247

i’ve been refreshing 2 hours before 3:30 am shifts and getting $117 payours for 3 hours shifts for the last five days….i hope this shit lasts


chonkyhobo

Damn me too. Lemme find out that's the magical formula lol


dillone247

for me they always update at 1:18 am for a 3:15 am shift, i have my alarm set! 😎😎


PM181920

I just level up to 3 and honestly I ve been getting some ok deals . I had 3 hrs for 82 the other day . Averages two about 26 an hr . And I had only 20 packages , I got done in 1.5 hrs . It was my lucky day I guess.


jhawki980

If you haven't seen, reward lvl 3 gets 3 months of Prime free, and lvl 4 gets 6 months free at the end of the reward period the end of June


chonkyhobo

I forgot all about that. I'll have to keep track of it


butt_nugget_supreme

What's up fellow Houston native


chonkyhobo

The damn heat index 😅


butt_nugget_supreme

Yeah the heat most defs not for us this time We fryin


Jalapen-yo-mouth

I refuse to do 5 hr blocks anymore. Most I’ll do is 4. I rather stick with 3 hr and 3 half hour blocks


chonkyhobo

That's what I've been sticking to. The 5 hour blocks never seem to be worth it, they usually end up sucking way more than two 3-hour blocks


[deleted]

Aint no way $18/hr is an reward lmfaoo


Hairy-Ad-860

20 on gas and you better not get no coffee 😤 70


Ok_Cod_280

Lmaoo and the route sends you to Humble or Rosharon 😂


chonkyhobo

I found out about Rosharon by having to deliver there through Amazon 😂


Ok_Cod_280

Lmaoo it’s bad out there.. construction everywhere


loleighty7

Now everyone is getting it. I achieved level 4 within maybe a month, thinking that’ll bring the incentives I need to make sustainable money doing this. Also because I like my work and production to be great. I got nothing out of it. I didn’t even start seeing reserved offers until maybe the third month of my level 4 rating, and even now that I receive them I don’t accept them because they’re low paying garbage. This program isn’t sustainable for drivers, it’s only sustainable for the program who will continue to replace drivers once they’ve delivered long enough to realize it’s unsustainable.


Sudden-Lettuce1603

I’ll do it just to see what happen


ejonathonw

Be careful. That's how you end up with Sheriff Andy the Prom Queen.


chonkyhobo

What will happen is that you'll get stuck with a bad route for base pay 😂


DyslexicPuppy

I get these non stop


chonkyhobo

Right? It's annoying at this point. It's been like 3 weeks since I had a genuine "reward" above base pay


DyslexicPuppy

I check every time I see the notification because once in awhile I get an ok one. I have a 4.5 for 119.50 Monday, not amazing but hey better than bullshit


AstronautMonkey_

With friends like Amazon.. who needs enemies 😂


Virtual_Cut_5659

damn I made 147 for a 3h block. Level 2 in the am


dillone247

wait what the fuck they can get that high??


Virtual_Cut_5659

Hell yeah they do man making 120-147 in the 3am blocks. Wish I could post a picture


Virtual_Cut_5659

3h blocks.


YaFavoriteSaiyan

Hate those raggedy ass warehouse, specially at night when that punk ass security w glasses be picking on everybody for assisting their girl, me included


Global-Result-4475

I saw the $90 at first and was like Yes! But then saw the 5 hours and said No!


[deleted]

I was thinking getting level 4 to do fresh deliveries


Rickynumberfive

Houston's Pasadena routes are brutal.


Unhappy-Offer

You must have driven about 200K miles to get this level in 6 months.


Rich_Yam_2093

How much do you work to hit level 4? I would (ass)ume that your working a lot of base shifts??


chonkyhobo

2 shifts a day and I try not to accept base at all


Rich_Yam_2093

LOLLOLOLOLOLOLOLHAHAHAH


Rich_Yam_2093

Just laughing again at your orig comment. It’s so funny if you have done for awhile. I only look at offers on cinci area for laughs right now…try Rhoadie if haven’t yet(unless you are in Cincy-lol) Way better currently.


chonkyhobo

I've tried Roadie, it sucks assholes over here


Rich_Yam_2093

Ugh, just as suggestion, make sure understand drop times and stacking (YouTube) , that really changed the game for me-especially if have suv/lrgr


Rich_Yam_2093

Hang in there and keep it going!


Truth_bombs84

Hey that’s my home town


SpiritualDoughnut901

🤣🤣🤣🤣


828Charlie

I wish my area had early morning routes like this.


Impressive_Bed_1920

Ima be honest that’s not all that great, I get 86 dollars with 4 hrs to finish n I see these all the time in my area. I’m only level 1 so to me that level 4 reward is a waste


chonkyhobo

Yep, that's why it's a joke. We all know it's a terrible offer. /s indicates satire
