I mean hey if you wanna drive your car into the ground for pennies on the dollar that's your problem. I'd personally wait for the surges. These people think $54 is $54 but don't understand how little they're gonna net from it once they factor in about 100 miles of delivery and gas eats most of it.

We know how the system works. We are trying to help everyone by informing the new people.

If I didn’t know better I’d say you’re an Amazon employee trying to keep siege down using social engineering.

Nah, people accepting base pay just means there will be less drivers in a month once they get a few long routes and realize what depreciation is.

Veterans must also notice that the amount of surged blocks and the value of each surge is going down in every market. We're entering midgame recession my friends.

You can still find good surges but they are fewer and far between.

All noobs, stop taking base rate blocks. You are losing money to work for Amazon!

I advocated for new drivers taking base pay. Some of them don’t have an option. It doesn’t bother me.

I got so much shit for it.
