I live in this area! It’s a good setup if you know how to work it.

They usually keep you in the same borough. The furthest I’ve had to drive was about 5 miles from the warehouse.
It works if you know how to maximize earnings. People taking low-paying blocks and long routes are doing it wrong.

What’s the trick to getting the best blocks?

Only accept surges and higher-paying blocks. If you’re not seeing good offers, it’s better to wait.
Making $20 an hour sounds fine until you realize how much you’re spending on gas and maintenance. Gig work like this is only a short-term fix.

Exactly. Once you factor in the costs, the pay isn’t as great as it seems. Working smarter is always better.
I don’t want to single anyone out, but remember, even if you have unemployment, you still have to report earnings. They will adjust your benefits.
If Flex is your main job, you’re going to struggle. As a second job, it’s not bad.
Colorado Springs has been great for Flex. I get high-paying blocks, and many routes take less than an hour to finish.
I delivered to a homeless encampment once. Wasn’t sure if that was even allowed, but it worked out.
It’s hit or miss. If you get good blocks, it’s worth it. Otherwise, it’s too much driving for too little pay.
