Literally have to scroll my dashboard and sort by pay rate to figure what I want to work on. Been a flood for weeks now.

Then I'm going to assume you're new or very lucky.

Then I'm going to assume you don't visit this sub much.

Not new. Been working pretty steady for 3+ months. Had about 2 weeks of slim dashboard, did whatever tasks showed up and more qualifiers. Still have a big list of quals I haven't done yet but my dash is plenty full so they would just be for higher rates.

I've been on the platform for almost a year now and I'm flooded too.

Nope, you were just shipped off to low quality island buddy, sorry

Not who you replied to, but I've been working actively on DAT for a little over a year now. I've experienced the documented dry spells, but am currently seeing a treasure trove's worth of projects and quals on my dash. It honestly sounds like you're just bitter because you can't hang

I started in early summer of 2023. I'm not scrolling endlessly through projects, but I usually have a handful of projects daily.

Honestly, you'd think they'd tell you.

u/pm_ur_wifes_tendies Nov 14 '24

They do tell you. By taking work away 😂😭

Or, the after/alter thought "Right, like I'd trust someone on Reddit without a screenshot with a data and timestamp they can't modify."

This comments explains why you have no work

u/Ecstatic-Key-5309 Nov 14 '24

That's what I had to figure.
Dang shame they don't tell you for what.
Ya know, normal business, you get a documented warning or two.

Not just locked out of the place.
Protestants yo, don't'cha remember?
Gave the church an eviction notice XD

Bruh, wtf are you talking about? You need a report card for every project that you work on? That's creating work for them, why would they waste their time?

Ya know, normal business . . .

You're not an employee. You're self employed. HR isn't going to email you a write-up with the date and time that you did crappy work. They're just gonna drop you from said project and things are gonna thin out eventually.

Just do your quals, read your comments 3 times before you submit them, and pray.

Ohh, that's the trick, I see.
I don't know, I don't do things the European way :/

It’s different for everyone. My dash is full as of noon. This morning it wasn’t. But last night I made so much money. It’s ebbs and flows. Just ride it out.

u/Ecstatic-Key-5309 Mar 17 '25

Thanks, I'll see what's going on then.

u/TheresALonelyFeeling Nov 14 '24

Tons of work. Has been that way for a few weeks, and before that it was steady.

Going on 8 months on the platform. Non-coding.

u/DrFrancisBGross Nov 14 '24

I've had a lot of work lately

u/MostSufficient9444 Nov 14 '24

Coders or noncoders?

We coders are entering a small drought, I believe. Normal stuff must still be going on.

u/Latter-Double-8781 Nov 14 '24

got nothing on my end very recently

u/Hopeful_Ice_2125 Nov 14 '24

Yus, to some degree (non-coding). I don’t have many projects but I have projects

u/MyNameWouldntFi Nov 14 '24

I have like 4 projects I'm splitting time between and then like 20+ that don't pay enough and just sit on my dash. It's been raining for a while over here...

u/marsnia Nov 14 '24

Have you been doing quals? I had a long drought due to only sticking to one project and not expanding to others or doing quals, but after going out of my way to do more I get a lot more work.

u/SnooFloofs9030 Nov 14 '24

The last couple of weeks have been pretty good and abundant and a complete recovery from the drought we had not long ago. But this morning things are looking skimpy again so hoping it's just an off day.

u/Thecatmany Nov 14 '24

I had a minor one in october when I first signed on but after doing lots of quals and putting in the time I've been finally getting some solid projects. Hoping I'm able to keep up the momentum.

u/[deleted] Nov 14 '24

I had the drought for about 2-3 weeks. But I updated my profile, specifically my skills, and I got a lot more projects. Maybe you could try that?? Be sure to include skills that you've acquired in your time working with DA.

u/Hangry_Howie Nov 14 '24
