$2.23/mile gross compensation. The IRS standard mileage deduction is $0.67. If we assume that amount is enough to cover fuel, maintenance, and other vehicle expenses, we get $1.56 net compensation. And of course you can deduct the mileage which reduces your tax liability. So, total compensation $1.56/mile * 48.2 miles = $75.19, or $25/hour net wage. All things considered, not really too bad for what is essentially unskilled labor (no offense) that can be done on a flexible schedule when you feel like doing it.
Haha none taken :) I agree, you need a flexible schedule. Or at least shouldn’t fully rely on it. That’s why I made the shift to part time W-2 with the intention to go full time. Hopefully do these apps then for extra cash and to boost goals like saving for a house, etc.
You can do the route way faster if you route yourself using their GPS. Pick a direction that is most efficient for you. Let's say starting at the far part of town and working you way. Your last stop needs to be the closest to the entry point when you started. Always use the map to route yourself don't let it route you it will drag you all over town as it routed for the time that was allocated. Of course organize your packages to your route and destination that could save you a lot of time. I did a 4 hour route in 2 hours paid a $100 I made $50 an hour.
Damn I started last week and I’m only seeing blocks for 53-$63 smh. If I saw $100 blocks I would do 2 a day but at $63 for the work it’s Just not worth it.
We need better transparency from Amazon flex that will show us on the routes available for each time.Block what areas or mileage to anticipate. This would allow drivers to make better decisions If a rate on a route is fair to them as a driver.
Yeahhh, I think I might just be in a decent market where a lot of the routes are close by. But also I’ve had some terrible luck recently going 100+ miles total on a bunch of them :/
You know I never really checked til now since I have unlimited, but i guess a lot 😅 though I basically have it on 24/7 since I keep checking for routes. Not sure how to check what the data period is but it says 61.8GB 😳
As a driver, $30+ per hour minimum is the only way to know you are truly going to make the route worth your time. They want you to look at an hourly rate her block but, They feel it's fair to send you in any kind of direction with whatever mileage that block might take to complete. There's no consideration for the amount of miles, fuel costs for the driver, and, vehicle upkeep costs for the driver.
@@matth8961exactly. We had a driver locally that took a 3 hour block. He arrived and ONE package had a 2 1/2 drive ONE WAY! That’s automatically a minimum 5 hour block and he was only getting paid for 3. Classic bait and switch. When Amazon does that crap it’s completely unfair.
Just download the app and follow the sign up instructions on there! Sometimes there’s a waitlist to get in. I had to wait I think like 6 months or so but others get right in so definitely give it a try
I’m back to share my experience with this video that really helped me out. It recommended #3asupport, and I have to say, the entire process was incredibly smooth. I truly appreciate the support I received during that time.

I think the biggest factor that people are forgetting or choosing not to factor is that you made, YOU decided when you went to work.

Yeah, I usually only get a few per week. I never take any at the base rate. My minimum is $25/hr for this app since the mileage is unpredictable

It seems like when I pick a good paying 3 hr shift they send me far out

Oh i feel you...that your awesome sir
Where are you getting 100.00 for a 3 hr block,

How much of your phones data does Amazon Flex use?
You know I never really checked til now since I have unlimited, but i guess a lot 😅 though I basically have it on 24/7 since I keep checking for routes.

You should do a Overhead review on this I'm sure you're 30+ an hour will drop once you take in consideration fuel and car maintenance.
Oh absolutely. I have a video that breaks down all the costs associated but I can start putting in a little section for these kinds of vids.

not worth it, best to do instant offers via whole foods
I’ve heard those are great! Wish I had it here :/
