Why I'm Quitting Amazon Flex

You should change the channel name to GoDelivering

I hope more driver decide to quit too
More and more

You have too drove too far..not worth it

to me it's a scam you lose money really.

how much can you make sleeping or just sitting around doing nothing when you can work for a few hours and make from 85.00 on up. that's the problem with the complainers they must want everything given, stop WHINING

It's also worth noting that the base rates slide around based on what region you're in. Portland's base pay is $21.50/hr, so you will never find a 5 hour block paying less than $107.50, 4 hour will never be less than $86, etc. etc... and yet somehow, it's STILL not profitable after you account for fuel consumption. Forget taxes, forget maintenance, fuel alone wipes you out. That should just never be, especially with Amazon being the best paying gig in the area at this point in time

What is that large screen in your car you’re using to help with navigation? Is that built in your car or is it an ipad with a special app. It’s awesome.

Hybrids are awesome for Flex near me because of the distances from our closest Flex plant but the distances between drop offs is usually pretty short because this area is suburbian hellscapes. Had I not gotten injured I was getting ready to get rid of my Outback which was awesome for PA routes with dirt and rock roads, and move to a hybrid since many of these housing areas are 15mph and after driving up to the facility and then to the development the hybrids just run on battery power so no wear on the starter or engine until I need to get out of the development and onto the highway. Sadly because of the HUGE robbery issues around here and even going 30 minutes out into every direction Uber and Lyft are dead and the big cities are just PACKED with drivers already.

Please don't be proud of your inappropriate driving. I'm really concerned with all of the texting and driving I see in this video. 400 deaths per year are caused by texting while driving. That's right, DEATHS. And those dying are innocent people, NOT the ones doing the texting, which means manslaughter charges for the person doing the texting. Even if it were 1 innocent death, I'd still be here complaining and I'm sorry if this isn't popular. Our damn roads are dangerous enough without Amazon delivery gigs adding to the problem, which this video seems to suggest.

In my college years I almost lost my life due to a distracted driver so perhaps I'm a whole lot more sensitive to this than most. Please don't take those risks. Please.

If Amazon's delivery gig incentive is encouraging this illegal driving, they need to address it.

i feel like in this job so many free work in minutes. because you doing scan, sing so many bs, i rather do uber

That is why you shouldve drove slowly. You worked yourself out of a job.

More like stopped because they cracked down on bots lol

Only if your vehicle 🚑 runs on air or electricity

You've been very generous to Amazon. They don't deserve it.

try roadie driver

“The downtown of Raleigh or the ghetto of Durham”??

Amazon Flex is not a $ per hour gig. I wish people would stop thinking this way. It's all about the $ per mile.

People have got to stop accepting $18/hr, base pay.

After 5 years i regret do it with this f… job

What happens if you don’t finish your packages

How do you get insurance for Flex or Uber in NY State? They don't cover us and commercial insurance is insane. Is there a way to get insurance from another state or some kind of umbrella policy?

I wanna do this, but Dayton Ohio (where I'm at) doesn't have any jobs and hasn't for weeks since I first signed up

im thinking of quitting but im an not a flex driver im the actual hired on driver and i live in cali making $20 an hr but a year ago my routes were like 140 stops and hardly over 200 packages now im doing 160-180 stops but average 380 packages a day and its the same pay. im doing more work for the same pay. every stop is now extremely grouped. my once '1' stop is now '1 stop 3-5 locations' so now im doing like 4 extra stops per stop and im starting to feel burned out. these 10hr shifts and insane package count for the same pay has burnt me out quiet a bit and killed my drive that i once had when i loved this job

4 suspension replacements in a year? You need a better car just be a better driver wtf? are you just going full speed over pot holes? and rail road?

The algorithm they use makes sense. Thats why i left as a driver for an amazon DSP. When they first started delivery in my city i used to finish to quick. Months went by and eventually learned as time went on the algorithm would automatically add more stops and packages to drivers routes who were fast and finished earlier than everyone else.

Does your car insurance know youre using the vehicle for commercial work? In NJ its a no-no

Gen z working a easy job 😂😂😂 “why I quit “ Headass

the biggest play these gig companies have played is having zero responsibility to your vehicle no matter how much wear & tear you put on it in their name. I was dependent on InstaCart for 2 years and made good money but the dependency became my downfall because when my transmission failed, I was screwed. Almost 2,000 orders and mostly 5-star ratings with Diamond Cart status and when my transmission went out, InstaCart offers nothing to fall back on, you’re just out of a job 🤷‍♂️….the lesson? Don’t beat on your car for these companies, find something else to do to make money.

i get it. i'm still trying to update my driver's license, because it expires soon. however, i'm not mad if it doesn't allow me to. i have access to other gig apps and a W2 job, so it's not a huge deal. it's just the easiest, imo. may you earn as much monies as you can with the other app(s) you choose to use.

I’m amazon driver from Chicago now I’m here at San Diego

Yes Uber pays good ngl but I’ve been banned from them they block my account because they said my account was fraud and they didn’t accept my appeal I would love to go back tbh.

Its wild how early 20 somethings think theyre going to get good jobs that pay when yall have no usable skills. What are you expecting? Graduate high school to 90k? Go to trade school and quit crying.

You have to take that amount and know they’re going to tax you at a “private contractor” rate.

Hi

I drove for Amazon Flex for a year and they constantly sent me on routes 60+ miles - one way. I ended up driving over 2 hours back & forth. I have arthritis in my legs and my legs started getting stiff. I got a doctor's note so I could avoid these long distance routes and Amazon Flex quickly deactivated my account. They made up a lie that I didn't mark packages as "delivered". Amazon doesn't give two hoots about its Flex drivers. Unless you get close by routes, it's not real profitable.

That Amazon Flex job pays less every day and one has to go further, more and more miles every day, nothing is like before,

I rarely make enough for these gigs and even started rejecting jobs until they offer better wages. If we don’t reject them then the company will always think they can offer cheap wages.

Not sure what education back ground you have, rescuing, rehab, and the sale of animals to good homes must have been a God send to so many folks...while offering income. It seemed like a descent way to earn monies, despite the animal hardships, and general human stress. Does Amazon provide tuition assistance? Have you looked into Animal related, college credited certificate/degree?

I like how he cleaned it up in the end🥴🤣🤣🤣🙌🏽💪🏽😁

im a amazon driver & i’ve been told by managers that amazon likes to tweak the routes daily to benefit them. like if you’re finishing your routes fast they’ll start adding more stops or more packages to maximum what is being done per route. so it’s like be quick but dont go too fast or it’ll be harder then next time etc.

I have no interest in driving for anyone, but just started watching and you're so easy to listen to that I just kept watching. I saw the packages in your car and loading, and was just wondering. How do you know you'll be able to fit all the packages assigned to you (if that's how they do it) into your car? I was curious if you ever had more packages than would fit, and how is that determined?

I knew they would min/max payout/profit. Thank you! This convinced me to not seek out Amazon.

Amazon flex was fun but bots buying out all the good blocks was killing me

So glad I got walking delivery for Amazon for 17 an hour 💀💀

Same here that’s my bf worked for Amazon delivery is bad looking on area from customer is mean and bad treatment that he’s quit 3time because discrimination of deaf people too my bf is deaf he friendly but Kansas people is bad very and not good in Kansas is awfully.

Please point me to the video that explains what you’re writing on the packages

the only reward for hard work is just more hard work

I hear u man. I been doing it for over 2 yrs. They use to give 157-224 a block when I first started for almost a yr for 4.5hr. Now it’s 103 for 4.5hr for that many hour. U drive up to 150 miles to start your drive and home. It’s so not worth it. And there’s so many people especially Mexicans doing flex. And a lot of them use bot to take the high pay block.
