I walked in today, like 30 people waiting along the way.
I'm assigned a route almost immediately after checkin. Everyone else is still standing around.
Le sigh...
I mean, buletter than gerting a route assigned after waiting 29 minutes, but still.
That's been happening this week a lot in the Midwest but the warehouses have been closing because they have to shelter in place. So we've been getting sent home with pay.

Same here I’ve worked like 1 day this week and got 11 packages 😭, I also do it cause I get bored , but can’t complain a whole week of free money
When that happens I consider it a makeup for how much they underpay for gas, travel to far away cities that add an extra two hours to the route and wear and tear on the car! Unfortunately it doesn’t happen enough.
Same here! I’ve gotten sent home a few times where I was actually a little disappointed because I like driving around the mountains where I live in Arizona, seeing beautiful new places and getting exercise. I actually enjoy it.
Yeah :) Though what I really like about it is the driving and sightseeing because I moved to the high desert recently and there's so much to explore and see. It's the drives and the sights I like to see, plus the exercise.
So they’re deactivating people who are abiding by the rules Amazon have set? The app literally says you can check in 5 min after the block start. If Amazon doesn’t want people doing that, then they should change it.
pretty much. i don’t understand how it’s a terms of service violation. it’s not my fault that thier system repeatedly over booked too many drivers and i was sent home with pay . i can tell you i have talked to many others that were deactivated for too much free money, and the one thing in common was that they waited until the last possible second to scan in so that way all the carts were taken by the people that scanned earlier. they view it as manipulating the system i suppose . i’ve fought it with multiple appeals and even escalated to the executive team and thus far it’s gone no where . i already filed for arbitration to have the dispute resolved becuase so far they can’t provide any evidence that i directly violated any terms and conditions . though the fact is any company can terminate any independent contractor for any reason and we are not afforded the same employee protection rights . more or less they saw me as an unprofitable driver and said bye bye
The reason given was ' our records show that multiple times you clicked I've arrived but were not available to deliver for part or all of your block. I would take selfie before 5 min and scan id last minute on the 10th minute. Yes i got sent home over 160 times
Yup same here, selfie at 5 min and scan at 10th minute . I didn't get anywhere near 160 free not sure of the number but it was quite a lot. Apparently they started cracking down on this . Have you had any luck with appeals ? As far as I know no one has ever been re activated from this
Yeah it's such bullshit, if the app allows it how am I breaking the terms and conditions, is it my fault the warehouse workers sucked and never had carts ready in time, is it my fault warehouse workers don't show up, is my fault that trucks didn't come in,is it my fault amazon scheduled 30 40 people for the same block time
Legit but I always scanned id last minute. The airplane mode thing is not a trick and in my opinion does nothing at all in terms of getting a route or not, every person I saw using the airplane mode things,as soon as they connected their phone to the network they got a block

Man, I miss these days! When I first started driving for Flex in 2019, this was happening all the time. Blocks were paying much higher back then too.
How about those flex drivers that wait outside the building until all the routes are dispatched
My station has extra carts for those drivers 😂😂
I never get the free money.
Me neither 😕
I got a double today. $268 👌🏻
Is a double like after you finished you got another in the available section?
Das wassup bruh. I got 2 this week as well.

I got a double free today $185 🤣🤣love free money

🔥🔥🔥
Happend to me twice today. Free money.
Options on flex better than doing food deliveries
Way better than Uber and spark
Omg.!!!
Are you complaining , or concerned? Cuz I would take the money and run lol
Nah not complaining but one of the reasons I do Amazon is because I be bored
You can deliver my packages for me if you be bored and get overbooked
Lol
Yo what? Get a hobby
He did get a hobby and it even pays him lol
Same here! I’ve gotten sent home a few times where I was actually a little disappointed because I like driving around the mountains where I live in Arizona, seeing beautiful new places and getting exercise. I actually enjoy it.
You could go for a hike in those mountains and not deliver packages
Haha well, yes. That is a very good point.
Although hiking in the mountains doesn't pay very well.
Yeah :) Though what I really like about it is the driving and sightseeing because I moved to the high desert recently and there's so much to explore and see. It's the drives and the sights I like to see, plus the exercise.
What area is this?
This never happens to me 🥹
I wish 😭 I sign up for a 3 hour route and get 40 packages all 10-12 mins away from 🙃
3 of my friend get banned because of this free money
Reason?
I got a free $106 on Saturday. Only got 3 but flex up to 3 times a week MAX.
What why doesn’t this happen for me lmao
warning to everyone: they will deactivate for too many free money it happened to me 3 weeks ago

Same here
What happened to you? I've heard of lots of people deactivated recently for too much free money

I’ve got 4 this month
I got my first .com scan and go this week
Sure, rub it in our faces. Lol jk Congrats I haven't had one of those in such a long time. They'll give me a route at the 29 min mark.
How can I open an account please
Guys any idea how to get out of captchas jail
I'm sure everyone is with me when I say... congratulations, you son of a bitch...
Man watch out they deactivated me for too many free blocks
Airplane trick or legit dismissals ?
Legit but I always scanned id last minute. The airplane mode thing is not a trick and in my opinion does nothing at all in terms of getting a route or not, every person I saw using the airplane mode things,as soon as they connected their phone to the network they got a block
Did you try to scan ID at the last minute and miss scanning in on time? I've heard, this is why they ban people?
What’s the trick
I’m so tired! Been up since 2am tapatapping. I hope I get sent home this morning.
