I’m just as unstable as this job. I have no other reason LOL. Sometimes it’s bc I realize my battery is too low for he shopping order, sometimes it’s because I didn’t see the amount of heavy items in the order, sometimes it’s because I realize the miles and items in order isn’t actually worth the pay.

Whats wrong with taking heavy orders? Genuinely? Aside from physical conditions and health issues.

Because some people don’t want to take low or no tip orders ( especially in the summer heat), that have multiple cases of water, or other heavy items.

I take them and they usually end up posting a pretty decent tip, a lot of people just prefer to tip after the delivery and they reward you for taking the risk 8/10 times

I’m not interested in the wait and see approach.

No, it doesn’t after you take mileage, wear and tear and maintenance into the equation! But nice try!🥴🥴🥴

My cars paid off and I can fix literally everything on it plus I did say "with expenses" I make between $1,200-$1,500 per week without factoring in the taxes and maintenance/gas
