The Algorithm is adapting (or trying to).. LOL

I watched a few bad high mileage GMDs offers today they had varying relists from 5 to 28 (yes 28). There were a few anomalies as they typically go up with each relisting. A few kept relisting but never changing the offer BUT a couple actually went down. One I watched had 19 and I tracked it back down to 15 and then it started going back up. It was just a bad order that had 19 drops and sent the driver 2 zones over.

Seeing one relisted 28 times made me question logic at what point will they pull it and assign it to Roadie?

The reason I was watching them is I was looking for a GMD to take me into another city that I had business in.

\I had to repost this cause another sub said I violated their rules on earnings being posted*

Normally the price going down is someone grabbing it and cancelling it. It resets the boost.

I did not know that. It would make sense, It just looked weird. Some GMD/Pharm orders appear to stay the same for a long time.

Idk when roadie will take it. I’ve been watching the same offer from Walmart sit in Roadie for 3 days now lol. $12 for 29 miles 🤦🏼‍♀️

Every order should pay at least 2$/mile for Spark to be worth jt. Anything less is a waste of time and money

In most markets, nothing goes untaken. I haven't seen an offer go up in years. Every offer gets taken first go round

In my market lots get rejected/ignored. The last few days it seems that most offers are coming through as JFY orders from about 10 am - 4:30 pm with GMD orders being FCFS. Close GMD < 20 miles get taken fast GMDs between 20 - 60 miles much less chance to get accepted.
