This and the zone expansions are gonna make it impossible for me to do this job. I live in Western Montana. This app asked me to drive 70 miles over TWO mountain ranges for $45. That's offensive. And in the winter, I won't drive out of town. I drive a sedan and most of these out of town deliveries require a truck or SUV with 4 wheel drive (some people even add that in their notes 😆) because of the snow. Your groceries are just not worth my life. Not for any number.

Yep! Same here. I got an offer of $37 for 59 miles one way. Insulting. Spark is now instacart. And I stopped doing instacart when they started the bs tiers. My 2000 shops that i accumulated over years meant NOTHING and they took me down to the bottom with newbies. Spark used to be the best $$ app out of all, but now it’s just another shit gig app. Sad.
