Tune in to hear my thoughts on navigating this slow period and staying hopeful for better times ahead.

No vehicle would be over 13.6 feet that would be oversized load
Dont deliver to apartment complexes always chaep i only deliver to houses
I am also one of the person that’s been deactivated with no reason it’s been two years. I have email multiple people no answer yet. It’s been two years. Anybody have any suggestion what I could do
Walmart needs a hub for Spark drivers To go and get help in person . The 5 day wait for a response is non sense. I got deactivated for discrepancy in my Onboarding documents (or) like they told me (or) personal documents. I re-uploaded my license and insurance. Still deactivated. I can't see my Onboarding documents for some reason. I'm going back and forward right now . They told me my proof is not a good reason to get reactivated. Like proof ?? My license and DL is up to date . And both not expired. I can't see my Onboarding documents so I wouldn't know which part has a discrepancy. Plus they said your Onboarding or personal information. Why can't they just say an exact and correct document. Not like IDK personal info or maybe Onboarding documents. It's annoying.
Hi Mr. Midwest. Where in Wisconsin are you based from? I grew up in the Madison are. Go Pack!
new sub here, I have a small SUV would it be worth it to grab a commercial van or box truck?
Just got deactivated today and they didn't give me a reason
Make sure the delivery payment itself and the miles make sense. Ignore the tips, you aren’t entitled to tips. If you’re relying on tips you’re in the wrong business.
I love mine xse red
Do they have team driving non CDL?
After doing Spark. Shipt is very disapointing 😢
Its so many factors I've sat in the parking lot of home Depot and wild fork and was not selected at times
Best buy sucks . I do single deliveries...... 12 deliveries for $30 idiots still take them
I do Walmart Spark, but only a few hours a day. Plus I am retired, have SS and 2 pension plans and a good savings account. Spark Driver is not full time for me. I enjoy moving, getting up and out my apartment, helping others and don't make it my full time work. Young people should know Gig work should not be your full time work. Corporate are greedy and the pay for gig work has gotten lower and lower,
Watching from Philippines ❤🎉
Okay. What’s your point. There are maybe few guys that know how to shop.. most of them, they don’t
I do 99% shopping orders just because I can get in and out faster then waiting for them to bring the order out but I absolutely hate when it comes to substitutions text the customer and they never get back to you so u move on with what the app says to get just got my first customer rating I’m 4.5 like to know what they are saying I did wrong
If you seriously think Walmart cares about anything at all, you're sadly mistaken.
even uber too .. any job using your own car is not good ,,,, waste gas and your car millage go high ,,, wear and tear your own car ..fuuck up your car ,,, say no ...
groups of people taking pictures of them before they get deported.
I just signed up with Gopuff a couple of weeks ago. I live in a college town in Illinois. The warehouse says that they have no hours available for the entire week and going into next week. I'm not that hopeful about this job!
Sounds like a crap job
I follow all the steps. Try to contact customer n calling them due to gps malfunction. Sometime gps cant pin point customer address. Or no internet access to contact them. Basically they ignore your text n call. When we return the store, customer get upset n complaint on app. That will put spark driver risk of deactivated. I am tired of all these loser customers.
Appreciate this overview. I'll be transitioning to gig life soon and roadie is a target app. Very helpful
In Omaha, Nebraska Gopuff is a complete and utter joke. I can't believe they get anyone to do it. It's a barely legal scam. But you don't have to believe me! Go ahead, sign up. Gopuff will make money, but you won't!
Do they make you drive using personal conveyance?
I can't speak from personal experience. However, "I was told" that you are allowed slight detours from routes for accomodations and rest. Sorry, wish I had more info. Thanks for asking the question!
You need a professional publicist . Your comercials are terrible
Yes, sadly I don't get to choose the advertisements attatched to the videos. 😆 I recommend a TH-cam subscription, that way you don't have to watch ads.
@@themidwestexpress tf is he on about lol. Commercials?
Any advice on how to get reactivated? I was on spark for 3 years until February when i got randomly deactivated. Did my statement on the pre arbitration phone call and the decision was upheld.
After arbitration.... IDK? Sorry brother!
how much mile was on it when you got your sienna?
8 miles.... It was new.
Thank you
You're welcome! 👍
That is the problem with Roadie, not enough gigs.
Yes, it's a fill in gig. I usually do Roadie when I am slow in other gigs or far away from my normal area and looking for something back, Hopefully getting something other than dead heading back.
You sound honest, so we'll split the referral
I am sure the TH-camr "Ride along with Bri" will have a referral code for yah! 😆
Amazing video! Shout-out from Louisiana 🦞 i enjoyed your video. I felt like a student in a class watching your video 😂, because i am about to start and i feel i already have better insight about it because of watching your video. I just subscribed because i definitely will be watching your content. I really think this is for me, well as of now. Thanks again 👍
Thanks so much!!
Was going to do this, but that $109 background check is a joke.
Really? I never had to pay for the background check? I just renewed my annual for free as well?
I was activated and deactivated the same day for no reason no change to even deliver. Like approved deactivated instantly wtf
Did you get this resolved?
I am USA citizen and my spark driver account been deactivated just because I was complaining about illegal Venezuelans who using 2,3,4 fake accounts,instead of kicking them out spark kicked me out…priceless
Hopefully you were reactivated? Yes, speaking ill of Walmart Spark can get a driver smoked.
Where I live, the street numbers are not anywhere near the front doors. Just include the front door into the shot.
Contacting Roadie takes awhile is an understatement
Yes, since including all this AI chatbot stuff.... Customer service is non existant
I signed up all the information for a driver!!! Only to say I’m on hold because they have enough people!! Ugh Any suggestions please??
Sorry to hear that. All the gig apps are getting hard to work now days. 😞
I will never, ever do a comforter. It's basically a cheap black bear and on top of that. There's 17 different ways to get deactivated and including 3 per minute. There's a whole video on TH-cam about it. And not to mention a lot of the customers. That used to pick up on Uber. Select years ago, just straight up. Start paying for limos because they don't want to be in. For example, I Toyota Corolla that qualifies.
I am also from the Midwest Michigan here great videos!!! ❤
I love your videos! I signed up with pars. But now thinking driver is the way to go.. pars doesn’t pay ride back and only first tank of gas!!! Your thoughts??
I haven't tried PARS! I will need to reasearch and try to give you a good comparison
a glitch lol
hell no not gonna waste my time contacting those tards
I was wondering is the final Pay the number you accept or do most orders have tips added? I know you can’t predict tips but I didn’t know if people from any type of order add a tip after the drop off? Maybe the tip was already included? Are there any stores or pick ups that 100% don’t allow tips?
From my market ad experiences. I rarely recieve actual tips. Most are said to be tips.... but it's really a increase offered to expidite a order after nobody had accepted after a missed deliver window,
Great tips thank you! I have an SUV, a Prius and an older (1998) long bed pick-up truck that has a lift gate. I would assme the lift-gate could come in handy for larger orders. Do you know if Roadie would allow the 1998 pick-up truck due to its older year?
It has always been against spark policy to check IDs they are starting to do it for illegal accounts or why seem illegal, you don't know if it's an illegal bought account or rented or a husband or wife and friends and family tag teaming it's legit accounts swapping phones shopping while one delivers
When you pick up from the airport- where do we go to get the bag? Baggage claim?? Help!
Really helpful I will try it tomorrow thx in advance
2:36 That hasn't happened with me. I live down the street from Home Depot. I've requested the order and drove over there and just waited. Someone else got it.
