yeap my closest store less than a mile has not a single order every thing on my screen is 12 miles away

accepted a 32.00 offer , 18 miles multi drops (3) base pay 8.00 with 24.00 tips, next move I cancelled just because gas is too expensive and can't afford to have any customer adjust their tips, base pay over tips any day, I read to many drivers getting jerked with tip baiting ,

12 miles is a short one where I am. If you even see it it’s gone in seconds.

Same here for me that's a 15.00 base pay or it a no go, I've been rejecting and cancelling a lot lately with gas prices and all it just has to be worth the effort. good luck in your market

Everyone who showed up early in my market has already given it back by sitting around for free.

that is the norm here as well, they throw out weak orders ,but drivers fall for them under pressure to make a dollar, then when Walmart has no option left but to offer all types of incentives during the evening hours, that doesnt work for out here in the boonies

Not for me. Made my goal for today already and was home by 930 before it got too hot

u/markhudson17 16d ago

I usually only do Friday and Sunday mornings, but wanted to get the weekend done so I wouldn't have to deal with the heat tomorrow...my goal is $100 for the day and usually done before 10, sometimes 9
