    Great info as always and you are spot on with your Roadie info!
    Roadie has been my main gig app for over 3 years and here are the gig approximate drop times I see in my area in the mornings.
    5:20am - Home Depot
    7:20am - Home Depot / Tractor Supply
    8:20am - CVS / At Home
    9:20am - Walmart / Best Buy
    The rest of the day is just random when they are available.

    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?

    The pharmacy orders in our area don’t go up. They just sit there for most of the day.

    • @themidwestexpress

      I love the pharmacies. They don't pay much but they are so easy and within a few miles of my home. Often I get them back to back so they add up.

  • @MaxPartridge146
    @MaxPartridge146 8 місяців тому +4

    Here's my advice for Roadie. Use only if you have to. Support is a complete joke and they'll cancel orders on you after being accepted with zero information why. if you don't respond in 4 minutes to their help chat they will close it on you and you start all over. You wait an hour for them and they give you 4 minutes. Their new chats do not bring up notifications either. if you back out of the chat session to check for more gigs, you have to go through their chat bot again to get back to the chatting screen. It's like they don't want you to get help.

  • @elliekusa65
    @elliekusa65 11 місяців тому +2

    FYI….I was deactivated on Roadie yesterday. I refused 2 items that were over weight and oversized. I accepted 2 orders which was 9 total bags. Several were HUGE. I did not take the really HEAVY one and the golf clubs because I had no more room in my mini van with the seats out. The airlines are NOT accurately putting in the dimensions. There was NOTHING in the description that described the gig as XL or HUGE. It says it will be no more than 50 lbs (per item) and no more than 48”. The airline puts everything as if it “fits in a back seat. I had a gig a few weeks ago and the bag was 184#.
    I use a scale now and measure the item in order to get paid properly.
    I called customer and they cancelled the 2 items. I included pictures and measurements. I still got deactivated and have to wait for a review. SUCKS!

    I hate when the stores lie about the dimensions and when you cant fit it in your car it will be your fault possibility deactivation which is stupid

    • @themidwestexpress
      @themidwestexpress  3 місяці тому

      For me.... 95% of the time.... dimensions are correct. There are certain stores that I do avoid that have screwed me in the past. I do agree that when they are off.... it messes up your day.

    How does Roadie get your personal rating? 5 star

    • @themidwestexpress
      @themidwestexpress  Рік тому

      Seems pretty standard as 5 stars unless someone leaves a bad rating.

    That is the problem with Roadie, not enough gigs.

    • @themidwestexpress
      @themidwestexpress  Місяць тому

      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.

  • @king9522
    @king9522 Рік тому +3

    Rodie is a wast of time and gas you can be in the same parking lots as the order and still not receive the order not worth it
