My first week doing spark this week. Worked 4 days . Thursday -Sunday made 570$ . Thursday work 4 hours. Friday 6 hours . Saturday 3 hours . Sunday July 21 7 hours . So about 28 dollars hourly . Think the app works best if you can find a Walmart and Sam club near each other. Sam club pick up orders and pays 40-90 for 3 to 4 deliveries. Also the bigger the city or metro the better money. I’m n the DC area. Although I started spark the week of July 15. I had been delivering groceries for the biggest grocery chain in Dc/MD area for 10 years and the pay with spark app is very comparable to what I use to do and make a decent living doing . Pay would be 850-1200 weekly . 4 day work week. Just give it a try ppl best gig app I have done so far

i got a 103 on spark lol i was trippin.. and kept the tips

Maybe call or text the customer before driving out to tell them you'll need their signature. Also, when can't find location, maybe use a time stamp app to verify their address or view the Google maps street view photo.

[@itzamia]

Time Stamp app is a good idea to help verify location, but sometimes it doesn't display the correct address. My address comes up as the number for the empty lot to the right of my house for some reason.

[@vicky15104]

My worst nightmare when accepting 6 orders from sams club as one run and 3rd customer put address right in middle of downtown no parking near and its electric company building with 18 items drop off including 3 carton of 40 pack of bottle napkins 0aper towel etc worst thing that customer not willing to come down to pick up and wanted me to drop all grocery to 4 floor with 18 items 😵‍💫.

[@dmi1571]

Secondly oh man auto insurance and delivery drivers hiding the fact they are using their car for comercial purposes AND hiding the number of miles per year they are driving to save expenses wow. Hope that's not you. With the number of expensive EVs that get totalled for something as small as a scratch on a battery pack. Insurance companies love to be able to drop a claim leaving the driver to get sued for every crypto coin they own. Lots of suvs on the road costing $100k or more today And.. did you ever consider how your youtube channel content would be used against you should you ever get into a car accident? Look at him. The depfendent is driving he's tired stressed 10 to 12 hours a day. He's distracted constantly holding and looking at his phone instead of both hands on the wheel rushing to the next location. Lawyers would have a field day. Doesn't matter if the actual accident is posted here. The driving behavior is established and documented. Just something to think about.

Where the hell are you door dashing that gives orders good enough to keep a 90%+ acceptance rate?

[@Fire-nw6jl]

Long as it's a 1$=1mile I accept them myself and keep a high rating. Those little orders add up.

[@Erati243]

@@Fire-nw6jl you mean like 10 miles for 10 dollars and you take that? No offense but that's crazy. I dunno how many walmarts are in your area but realistically you have to drive that 10 miles BACK to the walmart so you are only getting 50 cents a mile which (statistically speaking) doesn't even cover the cost of car maintenance and gas!

[@Fire-nw6jl]

@@Erati243 doordash not Walmart. I haven't tried spark yet. My car can put 20$ in and cover 300miles easy+I have a junkish car I bought soly for doordashing. Good miles but nothing id put money into fixing. I'd never use my main car for these delivery apps that's crazy

[@Sara-kc6md]

Same here in Georgia. I used to get great orders all day and now I sit for a long time and get crummy orders. My metrics are very high so I don't know what's wrong. I called customer service and they said nothing is wrong with my account.

[@azuproduces]

@@Sara-kc6md You can thank the illegal drivers for that. I've noticed the same here in Minnesota. I can sit by curbside for 2 hours with no offers, but there's a group of 4-5 cartel cars that are always moving and busy with orders

[@Canttouch123]

Whats the trick to get on Spark. When I tried They gave me other locations but then told me they were not needing anyone

[@otrkid70]

Sign for one of the other locations and then once your on Spark you can change your area to wherever you want. accept the closest location to you and you're all set.

[@newsforus9254]

Took me 7mo to get approved but once I started calling them for status of background check, I got approved within a week. Glad I did because DD & UE are really slow now & Spark brings more than food delivery.

[@kellio8087]

Took me 3 months to get approved. There's nothing you can do other than wait.

[@jerrodhopkins2143]

Wouldn't you be able to tell if the beers were in the bag you delivered to the alcohol customer? That way you would know if the tip was going to be split or not? I mean cases of beer are pretty easy to feel ..might save you some headache and wondering in the future.

Your video truly resonated with me! I used to hustle on the side, but now I'm back to the 9-5 grind. I miss the freedom and being my own boss. Unfortunately, I can't be out there anymore, but watching your videos satisfies my craving for the delivery driver life. Thank you for sharing your experiences! Stay safe, happy, and healthy, my friend!

Exactly! What is their competitive advantage. They all have scaling issues and will soon need the equiv of a nuclear power station to run their network and distributed servers. Cost if electricity has increased by 30% since Joe took office and the green new deal scam is only pushing electricity costs higher and higher. How much more is the grid gonna take? Pushing EVs and crypto mining and banning gas ranges trying to force everything electricity. And the so-called block chain is going to store everything into perpetuity with ever increasing storage and processing power needed? I don't see it

I am a customer of Walmart delivery in central Florida. I am sharing with you a very concerning shortcoming of Walmart delivery drivers - I have found that a lot of you younger drivers have no basic understanding of the four points of the compass! Finding my location requires instructions that use compass directions for reference. I put those directions in my delivery instructions on the Walmart site but I get calls and find drivers wandering my neighborhood lost because some of you don't know East from West! Why would Walmart hire drivers who do not have basic literacy? How do you graduate grade school without learning where the North pole is, and where South America is in relation to your location?? How can you not know from which direction the sun rises and sets each day?? I really am mystified by this. Not speaking good English is one thing but not having enough schooling, in any country where you grew up, to know the points of the compass??? Incomprehensible! Please explain to me how that happens. Many road signs rely on drivers knowing compass directions. There are real limits to the usefulness of GPS navigators and it seems some are staking their lives and safety and careers on the software in their GPS navigators, at the cost of fresh timely food deliveries. What should I tell my local Walmart store manager? What excuses do you smart phone addicted young people have for this?

[@Smr402]

What excuse do you have to not go shopping yourself. The drivers follow the directions of the map If you dont include north, south east west on you address it's not their fault they can't find it and if you do include it on your address but the map doesn't get it then there is a grid issue especially in new construction zones where maps aren't updated. If you don't like how something is done do it yourself. You are just as rude as the drivers are unknowledgeable
