Today was my first day 🎉I had a 3hour block but I finished it in one hour and 45 min🎉 it was pretty simple
That’s awesome. There will be the occasional “punishment route” but I found that I finished early more often. And prime day thy always had light blocks.
When you start your miles when you at the warehouse or when you leave home?
How did you like it ? And were the deliveries near the warehouse ?
Do you still get paid for the full 4 hours if you get done early ?
I'm sure you get paid regardless how long you take. You have example 4 hours to complete @@essencemorgan3946
Today is my first day this morning 😊Thanks for the info because I hate telling people it’s my first day and looking lost 😂 but with your vid at least I won’t look clueless 😅
Good luck. Where will you be delivering? I hope you get an easy route. That is one thing Amazon should do. Your first few routes should be easy, but unfortunately, it is luck of the draw. The other Amazon flex people will usually help a new person because they have been there. Don’t be worried about asking them. 😀. Good luck, let me know how it goes!!
That's an ego problem. Nobody wants to work with a new person that acts like they know what they're doing. They'll know you are new because they haven't seen you before so you are only fooling yourself.
@Unknown_Ooh but isn't this job relatively independent? I'm not sure but I assume she wouldn't really have much interaction with co-workers.
Thanks for the info!
you shouldn't hate telling people you're new or its your first time at something. Most people love to help others learn. Never pretend you know something that you don't. Everyone was new at some time. I haven't started yet, but my first time I will make it very clear, that its my first time.
I watched so many videos looking for a complete tutorial and let me just say that yours was the best ..!
I just signed up for Amazon and I was afraid to start because I wasn't completely sure how to begin ....!
After watching your video I feel ready to begin..!
Thanks so much ..!
I just subscribed to your chamber for future handy videos
Thank you so much. There will be surprises and things that you didn’t expect. But just roll with it. It’s a good gig! Thank you very much for your junk words!!!
Yes I've been approved for almost 3 weeks and I am nervous.
@@unqiue90 you got this. First time out is always the hardest.. but you can do it. And if you screw up, it’s big deal. No new stories!!
Same haha I’m used to delivering but I’m nervous about picking them up cuz I just know I’m gonna be lost and looking dumb in there and everyone else is prob gonna know exactly what to do 😂 but nothing to it except to do it, I guess
Even on DoorDash I’ve had to get into the habit of double checking the house number in the app against the gps as I turn onto the street. Learned the hard way lol
Yup! Always double check, you are right!!
defenitely the best video I ever seen about how amazon flex works, thanks for your video sir.
Thank you!! I’m glad that it helped.
I got the App last week, Im going to do shifts on my off days or after my current job to try and get a bit more cash. This video was BEYOND helpful and clear ! :D Im kinda nervous so im trying to get as much insight as i can.
I was nervous too. I walked in my first day and literally said..”I’m new!! I don’t know what to do!!” And a few laughs and others helped.
How did u do the app, I did not see it in Google play
@@joegarcia4690 search Amazon Flex. Should be there
@@joegarcia4690 Amazon Flex is the app name
Appreciate it
I’m about to binge your last few episodes. Really considering doing Amazon flex on the weekends. Thanks for the content
You are welcome, and thanks for watching, and commenting. Your first flex block could either be good or bad. But most stations you’ll find only about 10% of the routes are bad. All the rest are pretty easy and you can finish early. So don’t be discouraged. If your first route is bad, give it another try.
Hey I watched this video last night, thanks for the tips. I’ve actually been doing Flex since May/June of 2022. I knew the part about scanning the packages so I could know which stop number they are but the part you mention about covering up the squares below the barcode helped so much! I did that today and it saved so much time (I had 46 packages). I was able to complete my 4 hour shift in just over 3 hours and was walking into my house by the 4th lol 👍🏾
Nice. I picked up that tip from a warehouse attendant. I was trying to scan the first package to accept my block, and it kept saying “not your route”. They showed me that method, so I thought I would share it. Thank you so much for the comment.
Does app tell you be 4 pick a block how far warehouse is BC might be too far
@@lynnramsey7594 When you are in the app and there are available shifts then you can see the station the shift is available at listed at the very top (it’s usually 4 digits long “ex: VCA5”)
The app doesn’t specifically say how far the station is without selecting the shift but it’s easy to look up the station name and get the address. Once you become familiar with the stations in your area then you can make quicker decisions.
@@lynnramsey7594 Nope! It will let you pick a block one minute before start time. (Which is dumb) It should filter based on travel time.
Do you still get the same amount of pay from finishing early
Thank you for making this video. It was more thorough than the ones with people out driving on their routes. I'm saving it in case I need to come back to it. My first one eill be this weekend. Wish me luck🎉
Good luck! This video is a few months, old and things change in the gig economy all the time. Hopefully, you have a good experience, good luck!
By the way, Amazon is like a box of chocolates, there are some bad routes, and there’s some real easy routes, so don’t judge it by only your first run, in case it is a bad route
The tip 🎉worked like a charm also
Thanks so much for this video! I have my first block in 1 hour, 😊
Good luck. And remember, while most blocks are pretty easy, sometimes you will get a punishment route. I hope that doesn’t happen first time out. But if it does, don’t write this gig off. Be sure to give it another chance!! Take care, let me know how it goes.
@@SideGigGuy It went awesome! I did a 4 hour block with 32 packages and ran into only 2 minor’s issues. But it was awesome. Can’t wait to do another route. 😁 I loved your idea about the sharpie to write the route stop numbers down. Thanks again for the video!
This is a really informative video. Thanks for all the info!
Glad it was helpful! My Amazon videos seem a lot more popular than my DoorDash videos. Do you think there’s anything more about Amazon that I could answer? Or DoorDash for that matter? Thanks for commenting. Glad you liked it.
Thanks for this! Your instructions are the best on YT!
Thank you. I’m glad it helped
Well explained Video thank you for your time.. you earned a sub 👍 i just got approved for flex hopefully it goes well 💪
Thanks for the sub! Best of luck flexing!!
Very informative video. Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you this was very helpful
Glad it was helpful!
Good man. Can’t wait to get started. It’s been hard trying to make money and find a job while helping my family at home. Thank you for posting the informative video.
Thank you for the reply, and hang in there! If Amazon doesn’t work out, there’s always DoorDash, instacart, Uber , etc. Nothing wrong with signing up for more than one. Best of luck to you.
@@SideGigGuy I appreciate your response and encouraging words. I do Doordash/Uber as well but it's still not enough to make a better living in my area. I'm going to continue doing this and hopefully can find a shorter shift than the usual 8-10 hours for a security job. My parents are getting older and my little brother has special needs, I hope that I will make it better soon for both them and me. I will continue to follow your content, thanks again! :)
Very informative!! Awesome!!!
Glad you liked it, thanks for the comment
Thanks 🙏 for the info I’m starting Amazon flex in nyc next week
Wow NYC, on the island?? I couldn’t imagine that. I’ve visited and couldn’t imagine flexing there. What do the blocks pay? Best of luck and I hope it goes well.
@@SideGigGuy 2 hr block are usually $38 to $60
@@EddieNYC02 thanks for the reply. That’s very interesting information.
@@SideGigGuy you welcome
@@SideGigGuy I also de GOPUFF delivery and for example if the delivery take 23 minutes or more you earn more $8 to $10 per delivery , tips $3 to $10 .
Very interesting video
Thank you. I am glad you watched it and thanks for the comments!
New viewer. I do Doordash and Ubereats. Literally right around the corner they are building a HUGE Amazon warehouse. I am going to apply to be a driver as I don't like what I see with Ubereats.
Great informative video, Amazon should hire you to train 😂
Thank you for saying that. Flex is definitely better money, but it can be harder work, but not that much. In some ways it is easier… only one pick up, lots of drops.
Today is my first day and i I bring my marker too me 4 hours to complete 3 hours block
That’s a bummer. In most cases you should finish early. How many packages did you have? Were there a lot of apartments? I’m sorry!! You may want to give it another try, it won’t always be like that. Good luck 👍 🤞
Great video! Thank you. Any way you can edit out the miscellaneous sounds like the selfie girl and the scam beeps? Your audio is low but then this are very LOUD with headphones and car audio.
You know, my wife hated that selfie girl also. I am working on improving the production quality, and thank you for the feedback. Audio level is definitely something I struggle with.
Truly great content, way to over deliver!!!
Thank you very much for saying that. Amazon Flex is quite challenging at the start. Appreciate the comment!!
I can not get my foot in the door at Amazon Flex. They don't acknowledge that I have an app in. Have been trying for weeks. The flex job fits my schedule. I can quickly order anything on line...but to make contact with amazon for a flex driver position in Elkhart Indian has so far been inpossible.
This sounds great. I live in a rural area, SE Oklahoma. I live about 1 1/2 hours from the nearest Amazon warehouse. Would I be able to pick up from the warehouse & deliver in my county? Just a thought.
I work ups I am looking for a main app that doesn't have another bank other then my own. I like all my pay in one bank.
Hi, great video. I had my first drive today with Flex. However, i was all set to number my packages when first scanned. No number came up. And since i couldn't number i was searching through packages the entire time. It took me at least a half hour longer to complete. Any idea why a number didnt come up so i could put them in order?
Thanks for the comment. So, after you pick up your packages, depending on the station they are all different, you will either have to scan one package and then they all appear, or you have to scan each package individually before you leave.
Regardless of the process, once you are ready to leave, you can use the app to access your itinerary by clicking on the three lines (hamburger stack).
Click on itinerary, and then you should see a list of all your packages. If it’s a short list, you can just scroll and number without scanning the packages. Just match address.
The drop number should be on the left. And then in the video, I demonstrate the scanning process to find the drop number. If you have more than 10 items, scanning is faster.
I’ve found that if I put the first five in the front seat, and then the next 10 from drivers side to passenger seat in the back, and if there is more, in the trunk or hatch back.
Congratulations on your first run. Look forward to what they call “scan and go” where there are no packages to deliver, but you still get paid. It’s like a party each time.
@@SideGigGuy Thanks for the response and yest I found this out what you said. I went to two different warehouses this weekend. At one warehouse I could scan one package and it got them all. At the other warehouse I had to scan each one individually. But I had to scan a second time to get the route number. The delivery is definitely much faster when I wrote the number on the package. Thanks again
@@localone1597 my pleasure
Great video. I'm signed up for Flex but haven't started my first job yet. There are a couple of locations close to my house but I never see those come up. One is like five minutes and the other ten minutes. The only ones I normally see are about half an hour away. But I've read terrible views on that location. Would you know why I never see the ones close to where I live? Should I take those unwanted jobs in order to move up? How do I get to Level 2? Thanks
The level system can be a challenge, and usually only the people who do flex regularly for more days a week, can climb it successfully. It’s because sometimes you get dinged when you didn’t do anything wrong. And while the dings are relatively minor, if you don’t have a lot of really good work, it’s hard to keep advancing.
As for why the warehouse is close to you aren’t showing routes, the best thing I can suggest is to look at different times of the day on your app. From 3 AM to 9 AM was about the only time I could grab routes at my preferred station. so try some unusual times like very early mid afternoon and into the evening and see if it changes.
Good luck. And honestly, I wouldn’t worry too much about the level system. Because even once I had excelled to the higher levels and had preferred scheduling, it was still difficult to get routes that I wanted for the pay I wanted.
Lastly, my first route was my hardest psychologically. Once I’d actually done it the job seems pretty easy. But it’s a little scary and intimidating. Your first time in because you don’t know what to do. But just walk in and look for an employee and just tell me your first day, you’ve never done this before. They should be helpful hopefully
@@SideGigGuy thanks so much! Good luck to you!
Thank you for this video. It is very helpful. I have what may be a stupid question as I was just accepted to Amazon flex and haven’t driven yet. When you pick up from the warehouse, do you scan every package prior to loading your car as some sort of verification processes?
Not a stupid question at all. It depends on the warehouse. For the last year at vga2, you just scanned one package, and the lot was yours. I figured after a year, all warehouses would be the same. But here in Pensacola, FL, you still have to scan each package, individually, when you pick up at warehouse. (My car was half loaded before I realized it) it’s a big pain so just watch the app, it will say which.
@@SideGigGuy Thank you, man. I really appreciate it. Good health and much success to you.
Silly question but aren't you supposed to ring the door bell when delivering?
Not silly at all. Yes is the answer. And I always do if it is after 9am. Unless they have a video motion doorbell. Then, I do a little dance and move on. 😝😝
@@SideGigGuy 😂 thanks for your reply!
Great video. Well articulated . I don’t do Amazon Flex, but maybe I should look into it. I’m just not sure when I could fit it in.
I haven’t heard you discuss Uber Eats. Do you do that one?
Drive safe.
Yes, I do Uber eats. But because I don’t except a lot, I don’t seem to get the good offers. I usually will do Uber eats when they’ll offer an incentive, like do 50 deliveries in a period of time and get X amount of money extra.
Hey
I am back this is Manny
Ur channel is looking awesome 👍🏽
I really have to get back on mine 😂
Manny
Sorry what was that apps u recommend to start up videos?
There are a few if you search vlog in the App Store. I use vlogstar
@@SideGigGuy thank u
I’m near Lithia Springs also - what’s the average number of packages per block and how much time you get to do them
It does depend because Amazon tries to plan your route, so it computes distances. If you drive a long way from the warehouse, let’s say to Vining’s, that travel time is taken into consideration.
My experience is about 10 packages per hour can be delivered pretty easy if the are houses or non gated apartments. Downtown and midtown routes slow you down, but you have no say in what you get.
Sometimes it’s frustrating, but most times it is easy. If I get 30 packages in a 3.5 hour block, usually finish early.
How you deal with dogs around drop off?
Great question. The Amazon app will tell you if another driver has reported a dog. But still, what to do?!
If a dog is off the leash, I might try to call or text the customer. But if that isn’t an option, you just return to warehouse and say it wasn’t safe to make delivery.
I’ve heard tale of using the paperboy approach and just throwing the package out the window. Probably not the best experience.
But do t ever assume that a dog won’t bite. You never know.
Whats is the early you can star
It depends on the warehouse, but in Atlanta at VGA2 routes started at 330am
Looks like there is a lot of Amazon flex apps. What app is original Amazon Flex app?
Orange background on icon, white X with orange x going through it.
Dude you're awesome thank you
You are welcome, glad it helped. Anything specific you got out of it?
I'll tell what to expect: high mileage and low wages. Fighting off dogs and hillbillies in the rural areas and gangsters in the city. Other than that it's a great job!!!
I had to laugh, because everything you said is true. It definitely has all of those elements. However, there’s nothing like finishing a four hour block two hours early and getting paid for the whole time. It is the most random of the side hustles
I'm just worried if i get stopped by police..because i think i should held a business insurance for my car so i don't get fine? Correct me if im wrong
If you are in USA, I know of no requirement. But the decision is yours. I would tell your insurance company that you will be using your car for work. There is no fine or law that I know of in US, but I can’t speak for every state.
Hi! I'm looking to start flex deliveries soon, but I was wondering if I could use my work van to do them? It's a Ford connect cargo van, but it has ladder racks on top, do you think it would be an issue with Amazon?
Don’t ask, don’t tell. Amazon won’t inspect your vehicle. It’s on the honor system.
Thank you for the very good video. Did you become an Amazon Flex Partner or just a delivery person? I started applying for the partner but I saw you have to disclose your finances (i.e. bank statements) and they offer a business grant. So it was overwhelming. I just want to work as a delivery person and not as an owner/partner.
Just delivery driver. I don’t have capital to set up the partnership thing. I just downloaded Flex app and do that!
@@SideGigGuy Thank you for the information. I was scared off by the thought of having to show my finances to work for Amazon. Whew! I'll have to install the app, thanks!
So, you're saying go to the itinerary before you begin scanning your packages?
At some warehouses, you still need to scan every package before you even start delivering. If that is your case, then no. The itinerary isn’t populated until you scan them all first. I should have made that clear. Eventually, all routes at all warehouse will just require one scan to load all packages into the itinerary. My bad.
Scanning the items to put them in order did not help me. I numbered them and when it came time to deliver it wasn’t in the proper order 😢
That is odd. The drops should have been 2 through whatever. Stop 1 is the warehouse. Sometimes the app will change your itinerary based on traffic or for other reasons. But still the order should have been generally the same. Like maybe 13 got put in before 10, but then 10-12 would be next. That’s odd if it was all messed up.
Great video, do you use a carrier for your smaller packages for apartments?
No. In fact, almost every package is less than a pound. And I don’t think I’ve ever had a package more than 25 pounds.
Oh, and it just occurred to me that you might be thinking of multiple drops in an apartment complex. Unfortunately, for flex drivers, using their own vehicles, that rarely occurs. Usually the drops are 1 to 5 minutes apart from each other at different addresses. Occasionally, I’ll get one or two in the same complex
@SideGigGuy I've had probably 20 smaller packages go to a mailroom after hours , had to do multiple trips, lol. it was a pain
Just got approved to do some flex. Unfortunately the closest building to me is about 40 mins away but I see a lot of $100-$120 block’s available when I look so doing those would be worth the drive there and back home for me. Are we allowed to track miles to the warehouse and back home or only on our deliveries?
I am not a CPA. But I have read the mileage deduction rules very carefully. And I feel the answer is no, just like you can’t claim mileage driving to a w2 job.
The rules state that if you do not have a regular office, or if your work starts at a different location each day, then you start counting your mileage when you arrive.
Now, that being said, that is how you answer the question if audited by the IRS. They have no way of knowing that you might have been doordashing or something else.
The IRS will only get suspicious if your mileage deduction is more than you are actually making. Fortunately for me, I’m very close to my first work stops.
Good luck
What happens if you don't finish on time? Like if you block let's say 5-9 pm, but you don't finish until 9:30 pm? Do you earn less?
You will be paid the original amount you accepted only. In this situation, which does happen, you can finish all your deliveries and work longer or bring them back. But returning packages as undelivered can hurt your standing. As long as you don’t abuse it, you can quit when your block is over.
Lol@ seeing my sisters location on this video ...cool
Really?!? That’s awesome 😎 I don’t think many people have commented that they knew a destination!!
it was my first week doing amazon flex delivery here in Victoria Australia and its a very different but better experience compared to working inside an office. I may do this full time if my earnings reach around $900 a week. :) Anyway have you had an experience where a customer claims that he didn't receive a package? Amazon emailed me about it but Amazon didnt mention where, just the date. Amazon also told me that it may affect my eligibility as a driver if theres repeated offences. Any comments? Cheers
Hello!! I’ve had the pleasure of visiting Australia once a few years ago. Took a cruise from Sydney to Singapore. Saw a lot of cool places!!
Ok, yes to what you said. Frequently in fact. ( not daily, but I mean at least once a month). They never give specifics for location and there is no way to appeal.
It will impact you ratings a little, but don’t worry about it.. unless it is you taking packages. They don’t care if a few go missing here and there, but their communication is poor in that it sounds like it is all your fault.
I even got a Dashcam in case I was ever fired and had to prove my case. But even though this happened to me all the time, nothing ever came of it, so don’t worry.
Cool that the videos are global, and hope the information is useful internationally as well!!
I did almost get hit by a car in Sydney, my fault. Hard to get used to looking right first.
Cheers!!
@@SideGigGuy thanks for the reply, lost some sleep because of that 'issue' that they mentioned. Yes they have all the evidence to see if i delivered it or not, its just funny that they email the 'issue' first without even looking at the pic. Yep drive left side of the road here, took me a while to get used to it as well coz im originally from Asia. :) Yep AU has lots of nice places to see, however i'd highly recommend Queenstown in New Zealand for your next vacay, stunning. My goal is to go see Niagara falls (Canada side) with my fam in maybe 5 yrs down the road. :)
@@Trickky567 that sounds awesome, lived here my whole life and haven’t been. Asia huh?? That’s my daughter’s obsession. She’s living in Thailand right now, but has lived Shanghai, South Korea, Japan, backpacking through Vietnam, all that.
New Zealand is on my list, the cruise had no stops there… such a long flight though.
Take care, and don’t lose sleep over those rude letters Amazon sends!!
How to check weight and Size of Delivery?
Most packages are only a pound or less. I think there is a weight limit of 25 pounds. Bigger issue is sometimes they can be bulky. So, space can be an issue in smaller cars. Also, you will climb stairs, a lot!! At least in my area.
When you arrive at your pickup site, will the app tell you whether its a walk-in or drive in location? I’m just a bit confused, after pouring over many Flex videos it seems that at some sites, you can drive your car in and load in doors, whereas others you walk in, and then take a trolley of packages to your car. Any indicators on the app?
You nailed it, they are all different. Each scenario you mentioned is possible depending on the warehouse. You have to play a little “follow the leader” or stake it out a day before.
@@SideGigGuy Had my first shift today and played follow the leader like you mentioned, which was the right move. Outside, covered loading, with a bell from the speaker signifying that everything was set and ready to load. Thanks for all the tips in the video, it helped tons and really made it a much smoother, relaxing experience.
@@linelevelmedia7357 so glad to hear it, and I hope your first shift was “easy”. Flex doesn’t take into account if you are new when assigning routes. It is random. Sometimes you will get a ton of packages and you’ll think you can’t finish in time, but you do.
About 10% of my routes were just disasters. Try not to let those discourage you. Because they are rough. Deliver as many as you can, and when the block time is over, call support and return the ones you haven’t completed.. (unless there are only 2-3 left). Sometimes, you will get a punishment route. But sometimes, there is no route and you get sent home with full pay.
So, it balances out I think.
@@SideGigGuy 25 packages, start of route was about 15 miles away but otherwise fairly straightforward. The only thing that tripped me up was delivering to an Amazon Locker, but figured out the access and such after about 5 minutes. I'm anticipating some disaster routes, and hoping that because I live in one of the smaller markets it won't be as bad as it could be if I were working out of LA for instance. Thank you for all the advice, and I'll stay tuned to your channel!
And just one last quick question if you’ve got the time. Do the drivers that arrive earlier tend to get routes that are closer to the hub? My route took me out into one of the suburbs, and it got me wondering if there’s any determining factors for who gets the residential areas that are closest to the hub. Any ideas/observations?
how your find locker room all unit.. a customer ask me put lock room without access code?
I have a 2 door sedan car. Can I use it?
Amazon requires you to have a four door vehicle. However, there is no inspection at the station. So, you could, hypothetically, tell them you have a four door car, and use your two door car. For sub same day type deliveries, two door should be fine. A hatchback car is very helpful.
Curious, what about insurance? Do you have to upgrade to commercial insurance?
Nope. These are small packages, easily transported in car and not of significant value. I do have an extra gig policy on my personal insurance policy, but you can do it without that.
Yes you're required to have commercial insurance for it but most people don't...
@@Ihavetocorrectyou No you aren’t required, unless you live in New York. (And this answer is specifically for USA). Refer to this link, scroll down to insurance, flex.amazon.com/safety
Does app tell you first how far warehouse is BC 4 you select the block it might be too far
It does not. It can offer a block one minute before start time.
I really want to start working for Amazon Flex but I am a bit nervous in terms of how heavy the packages are. I am a small 4'9 girl and I'm nervous about getting heavy packages that I won't be able to lift. Did you have any items like that or are the packages relatively light?
Well, I’d say more than 90% are very light, less than 5 pounds. But you could get a package up to 25 pounds. It’s rare, but can happen. Murphy’s law, the heavy packages will always be on the third floor with no elevator. (Sorry)
@@SideGigGuyAKA undeliverable...
@@Ihavetocorrectyou it’s a correct statement. You can return a lot of packages with no loss of job. Status score might take a hit, but that isn’t end of world
If I’m new and don’t see any offers why?
Try looking at different times. Real early, like 5am, try odd times. Check your filters.
Flex is a good gig but don’t plan on being there longterm, they’ll deactivate you for just about anything.
I do agree, it’s no Uber or DoorDash. But I’ve competed my first year with no significant issues.
@@SideGigGuy Good job teaching us. 5 Stars
What did they deactivate you for? And how long did you last?
@@Ihavetocorrectyou i was going for about a year and a half, almost perfect metrics. One week they were doing some significant construction on the freeway and I was late to a delivery block. I hadn’t been late before so I didn’t know what the procedure was. The Flex delivery manager at the delivery spot said it would be fine but I couldn’t do that block anymore. I went back home and then the next day when I opened the app I got a message saying my account was deactivated and that I had to email my appeal if I wanted to keep delivering. It was reviewed and denied. My friend who works for HR with Amazon said they have so many people willing to work for them that if you have any sort of a blemish on your record they’ll just get rid of you with no warning.
Spokane has DSK that starting deliveries on august 30th, Monday was an introduction on what to expect,
Awesome!!
If I dropped wrong address what’s gonna happen
Once, no biggie. A good neighbor might even correct that mistake. Twice, still no biggie. You have to be a habitual screw up to get fired. You may not get great status if you have a lot of dings. But we all make mistakes
How many offers can you take in a day?
It depends on the length of the block. Amazon won’t let you overlap blocks.
So if they were five hour blocks, the most you could take would be four.
If they were two hour blocks, you could take 11 or 12 probably
@@SideGigGuy so you can do up to four blocks a day?
@@Rajk412 sure, as long as they were short blocks and did not overlap
Do you think you can make $2k working with a Cargo Van in a week?
Not doing flex. However, there is a way to subcontract with a van, and that might make more. Unfortunately, I know nothing about it but internet chatter
I Am From India Day By Day Amazon Flex Company Very Bad Make A Video Of Dark Secrets Of Amazonflex If U Don't Do Pod Or Not Give Positive Feedback Questions Then U Not Get Any Blocks Always Station Force To Do Pod By Self Account Money and Monopoly of Blocks also
How do you know if the packages will fit in your car?
Rarely, you will get more packages than will fit. These runs usually suck. But the station people are usually cool as they know what fits the average car. Most packages are pretty small. I’ve gotten 50 Amazon packages in no problem.
Delivering to homes vs apartments is much different from a time perspective, but it seems the hardest routes are apartments.
To answer your question, if they won’t all fit, then bring back inside the ones that don’t. Load all small packages first.
Hi drea what is the name of the app

Now I just have to wait 5 years until im 21 smh
Well, only two more years and you could DoorDash. You only need to be 18 to work for them. I'm 55, and I remember being your age. I was in a foster home, and just wanted to be out on my own making money. When I turned 18, there was no DoorDash obviously, so I delivered pizza for Domino's as my first driving job. Hang in there. SGG
High miles low pay
There is no denying that I am driving more miles since switching to earn by time. But I think that is more related to base pay on earn by order never being that high. In fact, I know people have seen this (and door dash may deny it), but when there is a really good tip, like a large order tip, the base pay can be very low. I had a 10 mile large order program the other day when I was doing by the order, and base pay was only $2.50. Now the tip made up for it, but if I would have been earning by time, I spent almost 30 minutes on the order, so I would have got $6.25 base pay. Having a high acceptance rate helps IMHO.
You can expect to get used and abused 😂
You are right, this happens. Use and abuse them back. It’s a very transactional relationship. You are never rewarded for above and beyond behavior, so I never give it.
@@SideGigGuy I say just get what you can out of them and move on!
Oh my God the amount of drivers that come to my site not knowing what to do is astounding. All they had to do is watch a simple video like this. Jesus Christ. Bunch of idiots and fools. At least they're out here making some money like all of us. I just wish they had some sense to figure it out or OH I DON'T KNOW, GOOGLE IT? TH-cam IT?
You sound like you work at one of the warehouses, right? I remember my first day, I expected it would be a lot harder. But yeah, I TH-cam everything now before I try it.
@Side Gig Guy Yes. UFL2. I batch most of the time so I encounter new drivers. All they have to do is read it. I don't even read their screen, I just tap untill it gets where it needs to be. I've helped just enough to gain a little understanding. After watching this I should be better able to help them. Thanks man.
@@JamarD421 Miami!! I bet a lot of warehouses there. Thanks for commenting
Or, Amazon and their employees could actually tell people what they're supposed to do.
@@Trahzy Amazon doesn't train us (warehouse associates/employees) on the Flex driver app and that is not exactly our job either. I agree, they should make a tutorial for Flex drivers though. Either way, far too many drivers come in with no sense on how to at least figure it out.
