Was offered a 4.5..

And finished in 3! 🙌 Reminded me of the good old days 😂 What’s weird is that it was the same route and number of packages that I usually get when I do a 3.5, like any other day. I have another one scheduled for tomorrow and we’ll see if today was just a fluke.

Welp, VOR3 just did a major FU..🖕

Rates were previously $26/hr. Now they’re $21.50. They must have onboarded a bunch of newbies who don’t know any better. I was already cutting back on blocks because of the high gas prices, but this is insane.😤🤬

3.5 hr blocks from VOR3

Would you do a 3 1/2 hour block out of VOR3? I’m aware that the base rate of $26 is the norm now and I take those because they rarely surge, but I take 4 hour routes simply because it’s basically the same mileage. For those of you who do the 3.5 for $91, do you find them worth it? I have one scheduled for the morning, but am considering canceling it. The risk is that I won’t get a higher offer. Thoughts?

Drivers are now making 3 lanes out of one. Station seriously needs to fix this. 🤦‍♀️

Ok I’m considering a dot com station..

I do, almost exclusively, ssd. For months, I’ve been being sent to either the Gateway district or Oregon City. When I do OC, it’s over 100 miles when I make it back home.

I do ssd basically because I see higher rates. Not sure if it’s just my luck, but every time I’ve done dpd2, which is about 10 minutes from home, I’ve been sent to Kelso and Longview. The last one I tried took me out that ocean highway ffs. 🤦‍♀️

Thoughts on the dot com vs ssd (vor3) and yes I already know the parking situation over there is chaotic but I’m pretty used to it.😅

If you’re all in on dot coms, how do you justify the lower rates?

If Amazon were to change their pay structure, what would you support?

Hypothetical scenario of course (they’ll never do it) but.. If they were to pay based on miles at a dollar per mile, would you be good with that? That way, lower paying blocks would pay less, and longer routes would pay more, but you’d have a good idea what your mileage would be before you accept them. Seems more in line with being an independent contractor and having the autonomy to make informed decisions. Just curious. 🤷‍♀️

Surges

Anyone seeing surges in the early mornings out of VOR3 or DPD2? What times and rates are you seeing? I wake up around midnight to check and I’m only seeing VOR3 for maybe $10 above the ridiculously low norm. I refuse to take the low ball offers.
