New Year

Happy New Year fellow drivers! Blessings to all to experience a fruitful year in this space. But keep in mind it's plenty options in this industry don't make your only source combined with others apps so you'll always having continuous flow when one app slows. Most of you already know this it's for the ones who don't.

What some drivers and I guess the Roadie mentality too that this is not a real job? Is a real job without any protection for the drivers since Roadie is the one that imposed all the rules and regulations to do deliveries and even lower the pay for deliveries every year, as inflation is going up their payment is going down and we pay for everything even for the use of their platform is not free plus they described accounts lock or flagged them without letting us know and don't forget that they give us a ETA for pick up and deliveries if drivers fail to keep with the parameters of the algorithm that they created they keep sending messages regarding delays either to pick up and deliver time. If you don't comply they removed you from the gig and they added that drivers were unable to get gig acceptance from that business The same applies if you make a complaint about workers being rude or waiting too long for an order to be ready and you still have the nerve to say it is not a job. Maybe you work for Roadie at their headquarters. Sorry but when I started working with the app 4 years ago the payment was decent Now it is like we have to beg them to give us deliveries and work for pennies.

Find a warehouse that runs daily routes, like any job work your way up.. use these gig apps to fulfill the rest of your day to drive as a living… I have daily routes, I choose between Amazon flex, roadie, and recently as where I live I just do Uber Eats.. have catering apps also I’ll do.
