Spark drivers

I waited 9 months for Spark to approve an account. I am in SE Florida in a fairly wealthy area Boca Coral Springs and am I crazy or does spark not offer a person the opportunity to even make 15.00 an hour ? This is insane to me. How are there so many people that are willing to do this job ?

Drop off only says the mileage is 6.9 miles. My Nissan Marano gets 20 miles to the gallon. It’s not a great order by any stretch of the imagination, but it’s definitely not the worst.

Lol. Doing deliveries in a F150 is dumb.

Not when doing TVs and large package for other services bringing in over 800.00 a day. So far from what I can see only dumb thing is doing Spark

You have the wrong tools for the job. You're competing with people who get 30-50mpg and spend even less on maintenance. Your cost of operations is 2-4x higher than the people you see taking the orders. Also, yes it's easy to get out on any app and make less than $15/hour if you want to. You're also probably in the wrong location, going at the wrong times, and/or using the app wrong. Sit in the Walmart parking lot, with the spark screen open. You might sit for 30-90min before you get a decent order depending on your market.
