⚡Is driving for Amazon Flex worth it?: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iJXCnHqim5VkgMU (watch next)

[@MMikemezta]

Hey, Mike, I'm gonna do my first shift. Any recommendations like? Is there gonna be a sign that lets me know? There's flex drivers here

[@user-tu1ee6dc5f]

I don't mind the 30 plus deliveries in a cluster. It's the 15 and 45 min plus to the first stop then 5-15 between stops esp in rural areas.

[@user-tu1ee6dc5f]

I had a dog attack me today and I'm a dog person. The first dog came up to me. No vest either the last two weeks.

[@bevmo564]

My first shift was AMAZINGLY easy and a joy to do. I think that newbies get decent great first shifts as an incentive to keep coming back!

[@Nolastepper]

My first shift was amazingly horrible I had to drive an hour to get to the area I was delivering it was waay out in the country with no street lights or cell phone service I had to deal with dogs gate washout roads and my last delivery looked like a scene from the hills have eyes it was at la winery that was closed that was six miles down a dark dirt road where I got a flat and could not deliver I made it home 2 hours after my stop time even though I could not make my last 2 deliveries so far I’m not going back

[@lizzay6731]

@@Nolastepperyou’re not alone, my first shift was also a nightmare!

[@Ajdklly]

@@Nolasteppermaybe you need better cell provider and better tires 😂😭

[@ericberry6557]

With the warehouse runs u may want to clarify that the customer can not leave a tip on the app but can give a tip in person

[@YourDriverMike]

I've never received a cash tip when making a warehouse delivery have you? If so that's awesome

[@everythingdave3792]

The greatest tip is arrive at the warehouse check in, get to the scan my drivers license now stay past the 5 minute time to be one of the last ones and get free money cause they run out of routes

[@Nolastepper]

Can you explain if I have a scheduled block how do I wait?

[@stlabossstill5012]

Tht don’t work

[@urielramirez3392]

This used to work, now it doesn't, Scan your ID 4 minutes passed your time not 5 at 5 minutes you miss your block.

[@natehardy3849]

Not sure if it's the same everywhere, but in Delaware, now it's kinda in reverse order. Those scanning in last for the block get routes, while the one's that scan sort of in the middle of that 10 minute frame are the one that get free money, if it's available. They caught on

[@kashaka0934]

​@natehardy3849 this happened to me yesterday

[@urielramirez3392]

Logistics and SSD warehouse are different, Logistics have a sticker with a number, SSD don't have a number but you can scan and number packages or sort them by letters ex: CCC BBB AAA

[@shenaypretty]

Thanks for posting this video and talking about going to warehouse to pickup packages. Sure eased my mind so when I start Amazon Flex.

[@d77543020]

My station uses smart labels now every package is numbered

[@kamaal50762]

Wich state is yours?

[@YourDriverMike]

Does it just say "stop 1" or "1"? What's it look like? Thanks for the heads up

[@TainoSurfer03]

Thanks, I was doing the onboarding process, not going or doing Amazon flex.

[@brendasmerechniak2074]

Thank you for this it was really helpful the warehouse I go to so disorganized. I had a route today that the packages were missing. I have packages that weren’t supposed to be in there. The route was all messed up. It had me going really far then back to my location and then far again. I think it’s very exhausting compared to other gig jobs.

[@timothysmith7436]

Please know, that is very unusual!!

[@shamiawashington6429]

Same it was so disorganized

[@genesisl.7487]

Greetings! .. Did you use your personal Amazon account for Amazon Flex or did you create a new account specifically for Amazon Flex?

[@darianapolskaia7710]

The start time in schedule is when you need to arrive at a amazon station? Or you have to arrive earlier?

[@BattleBeautifully]

You should arrive 15 mins early. That way you have time to arrange packages. I believe 5 minutes late it will cancel.

[@thebellanextdoor]

I'm new and start my first shift tomorrow. I don't see some of these like the avail now. Is that because I'm new?

[@jorlowsky469]

I’m gonna sign up. I don’t do anything on the weekends anymore, so want to make some extra dough.

[@YourDriverMike]

Definitely check it out, if there's a waitlist get on it now so you can get activated ASAP

[@jorlowsky469]

@@YourDriverMike appreciate the heads up. Just signed up for the waitlist. Fingers crossed

[@AndresSanchez-gx1py]

Did you get accepted??? Please give an update​@@jorlowsky469

[@appatight]

I was waitlisted for 1.5 years before I finally got on

[@roypatel7812]

Hi If someone is sponsored in a restaurant, then is he allowed to do work on Amazon flex ?

[@BernardOwens-fz3sj]

I do amazon flex in the Houston area. I feel like there's alot of amazon flex workers

[@Meta2Physical_Redbubble_Shop]

This is interesting.Thank you for making thi would like to do it

[@RockfordMaverick]

When did Amazon Flex come back to Pittsburgh? I thought it went away in 2018.

[@BonifayJayShop]

How is it in the Pittsburgh area?

[@DariusMarty]

I was on boarded a few days ago. The “available now” tab isn’t in my flex app at all. Do I have to constantly refresh my app to see offers or will the app notify me?

[@vitoconcept6948]

Sometime has tick to get higher pay block. Do u guys know how?

[@Nicole-ng6ed]

I signed up months ago but no offers are ever in any areas close by. All the offers I see pop up are over a hour away. Maybe I’m doing something wrong in the app.

[@francinefeldmesser9853]

Just signed up and all the pick up locations are 70-80 miles away from where I live . Is that the way it is supposed to be ? I called support there weren’t very helpful.

[@kedronjones1]

This was my problem i live in Hampton close to the same day warehouse but all the deliveries are 40 mins across town

[@maryvargas5987]

My screen doesn’t looks 😢like yours . I don’t have the option to check in by myself through the app ..

[@DReam_Desire_Ispires]

One of the biggest problems I’ve had is the Amazon flex app has stopped working during a route or being sent to rural areas with no Wi-Fi or satellite internet connection

[@aramistavarez6748]

What happens when it rains do u still deliver in the rain or wait intell it stops to continue deliver

[@sirleeproductions]

Big Mike 🔥🚒

[@YourDriverMike]

Appreciate you!

[@claytonloeschjr373]

I have saw videos saying there are early (3-4 am) blocks for Amazon Flex. Is this true? If so are those early morning blocks any better than blocks later in the day?

[@thechronzy1889]

I've done five of them and alot of the time its packages other drivers brought back to warehouse. 1 run was only like 15 stops but they were all like 5-10 mins apart

[@nyfalcon1]

Did 2 warehouse runs so far and have no idea how to load the car in order. Even after watching this there has to be a simplier way

[@PurpleMusicProductions]

Take a sharpie and look at your route stops and write the numbers on the packages. Place the low numbers in the front seat and higher numbers in the back seat or load the higher numbers in first and then the lower numbers. Therefore as you complete your stops you are working your way to the back (higher numbers). I hope this helps.

[@nyfalcon1]

@@PurpleMusicProductions I don’t know where on the app to see the route stops

[@PurpleMusicProductions]

@@nyfalcon1 it should be under what is called "today's itinerary" link.

[@kualani24]

​@@PurpleMusicProductionsty

[@GrimTravels]

@@PurpleMusicProductionsI did that when I worked as an ups pvd driver.

[@adamhamlin2508]

hey budy i just signed up and finally passed background check etc but my app is basically empty not offers nothing to schedule etc. any advice

[@snanguidry3283]

U jus have to keep waiting it could take a few more weeks

[@saraigalindo7427]

How do u download their app I’m struggling i scan the link and it’s takes me back to the same website

[@MohammadMohibi-fc5kz]

Hi, can u send Amazon flex app link to download?

[@appatight]

Should be in your App Store

[@Juno_Beach]

The FLEX app will not install regardless of security settings

[@Mailman_mo]

It’s crazy me and my wife signed up a year ago and was placed on a waiting list. She got in recently and I did not. She won’t use it now because she got a remote job. Is there a way I can update my info to her profile? I’m familiar with flex cause I work for USPS. Any help would be appreciated

[@losababy223]

How long have you been at usps and what are reasons for leaving? I’m trying to get In.

[@Mailman_mo]

@@losababy223 hi, I never left. I’m still working at the USPS. I wanted to do flex on the side. Did you try applying on usps site?

[@Mailman_mo]

@@losababy223 hi, I never left. I’m still at the USPS going on my 4th year. I was trying to get into flex on the side. What state are you in? Some states and districts hire straight to career. You just have to look on the website. If you have to be a CCA they’ll work you like a dog for 1.5 years or less (depends on how fast they convert to regular). Once you hit that career you’re smooth sailing

[@ChuloHock]

I have an Android device and I side loaded the app but I'm having problems actually signing up as I'm receiving error messages. Basically states that I should try again later.

[@timothysmith7436]

Side loaded? What does that mean?

[@ChuloHock]

@@timothysmith7436 it's when you install an app that's not available on the Google Play store

[@BubonicJitters]

People don't tip in my area anyway. So Amazon Flex might be a good option here.

[@jose-nu3ph]

The flex app dont accept drivers right not

[@shenaypretty]

They'll add you to a wait list then email you to start the onboarding process when a spot becomes available in your area.

[@Kendallrevers112]

Hmm my app is nothing like that I have the droid app

[@AndresRuizHi-Techchina]

2024 Amazon flex isn't what it used to be! First Now full of drivers but the huge problem is the BOTS! Amazon is the KING of the BOTS! Routes now are more Rural than in the city, where these houses are in the middle of nowhere and you have to face really rough paths that can damage your car and guess what! 😢Amazon is not responsable for what happens to your car. Also add this rural houses have huge dogs...

[@anakatana777]

I'm not an Amazon flex driver but I'm interested in applying to become one. This should definitely be covered though.

[@VadimYegorov-x9b]

It's crazy underpaid, considering they don't provide you a car and a gas and you usually don't get more than a few hours of work a week, compared to a hire, its basically a job for those who got no other options

[@bobibobilli1537]

Yall don’t forget about dogs,glitches,the people that my shoot the delivery driver out of town cousins didn’t know you where delivering there Xbox games, and liquor 🥃. Also weird location of the house no visible address or. My Favorite Cursive address in long numbers also I’m Gen Xer I can write cursive ,but while I’m driving looking 👀for the random old lady in that new thang just backing out .! Woooooooo! Rockin Roll HighSchool Forever and Ever!

[@lisaciconte7409]

Mike: I already work for Amazon FC in Wilmington, DE. I can't do Flex.

[@katiepeterson3444]

Not all warehouses are created the same.

[@SpaceCadet528]

As a regular Flex driver. I stopped watching after he said "I dont do a ton of these".

[@MZBallistic]

$20 an hour to drive your own car is crazy!

[@abdulkhafidsulaymaan]

This sounds way to complicated to me. Seems like they make it complex so they can get rich and you remain just ok.

[@eloycaldas]

U just forgot to say about the huuugggeee waiting list 😏

[@YourDriverMike]

True, Flex always has a waitlist. Moreso than most any other app.

[@alanduffy6038]

I find it bonkers you can't deliver to mailboxes like here in UK. And we are told we must scan each package as we load vehicle. And if you follow Amazon process we don't get dinged for undelivered packages. AND most important we are not at risk of being shot! UK flex feels more driver friendly.

[@timothysmith7436]

Bonkers? It’s against the law.

[@matthewthomas2012]

Been so hot here in Texas I'm thinking about wearing that vest without a shirt underneath it

[@fammoh3145]

Some customers they play game they doesn't give the tip in the end they keep it they greedy cheap

[@chrisventura1881]

Sounds rough. $72 for 4hrs?😱
