Sorry if this is a silly question, but I was wondering why Asbury Road stays at 35 mph even after you leave town? It just seems like it’s so slow to get anywhere on that road. My husband and I were maybe thinking there was an accident there years ago and that’s why it stays at 35 mph but we are just guessing lol hope y’all have a wonderful Fourth of July weekend.

First off, I’m not getting paid for this nor am I a spokesperson lol But I know a lot of new drivers have questions about the One Pay card. I didn’t sign up for it right away, but after thinking about it and getting the bonus points, I thought I would give it a try. And from my experience only, I can tell you it was a great decision! I also linked my regular checking account so at the end of the day, I can send money over to my bank and no charge if I just wanna wait till the next day. Or you can pay a small fee and get it right away into your bank. Both times that I have had issues with not getting my cash back, after they were notified they fixed it immediately. Which in itself says a lot about a company. Because if my bank has to fix something, it takes 5 to 7 business days lol so I know everybody has their opinions, but this grandma enjoys the card. I think so far, I’ve gotten over $200 cash back which I’m gonna be using to go see my grandchildren next week. So anyway that’s my two cents worth I have just seen a lot of new people asking about it. Hope y’all have a very enjoyable holiday weekend and make some money!

Next week I will be driving to Texas from Iowa to visit my grandchildren. I haven’t been down there in two years so this Nana is very excited! And because I like to spoil them rotten I was thinking of doing Spark from like 6 AM to 8 AM while they’re still sleeping. Was wondering if anybody is from the Denton Texas area and how it is? I know you don’t want competition and I understand that. But when I go to Rockford Illinois to visit my other daughter, there’s like eight Walmarts and it was a little overwhelming lol I’m from a one Sam’s Club one Walmart area I seen there is a lot of Walmarts there and was just wondering how many they have in each zone. Thank you ahead of time for your help! I hope you’re all staying cool and people are tipping you in this heat unlike in my area lol

I understand the no tipping thing and people don’t want to do it. But I am telling you, I am not carrying anything in 98° where someone is sitting at home in their air-conditioning ordering and expecting us to bring it! People need to use their brain a little bit and understand it’s freaking hot out here! A little common sense goes a long way. So when you don’t get your order and it’s above 90° where you’re at, this is exactly why!

I’m wondering if anybody else has experienced this. There is a major bridge closed over the Mississippi river in my area. It has been for two weeks and will continue this way for two to three months. I and other drivers had contacted Spark many of times to tell them that they need to add the extra 9 to 10 miles It is to go across another bridge to go around to the city on the other side of the closed bridge. They have not done that. So it’s not just the extra mileage, but a customer will get a time for delivery stating we will be there 15 minutes earlier than the actual time by going around. I’ve come to the point where I let every customer know they didn’t factor in the bridge being closed so I will be there at whatever time is 15 minutes past what they gave them. Because it’s gonna be closed for at least another two months maybe three, does anybody know how I can get a hold of somebody besides chat and phone calls to have them change this. Because what’s happening is nobody is taking those orders over there because the mileage is 10 miles off.

Is anyone else having a problem with the maps taking you the longest way possible. I know my area pretty good and I caught on fairly quickly for being old lol I’ve tried both maps and at least 3 to 4 times a day this Th happens. And the mileage from Spark is not matching the maps so that’s my indication. So I’ve been pulling up the address, through Google, and looking at the whole route before I leave.

Anybody else do the update this morning? I’m afraid to click on it lol

I’m hoping to get some feedback. I currently work for Spark. And as everybody knows it’s kind of going downhill. I still make Ok money but some days it’s a little hard. I just got off the waiting list in my area for Amazon Flex. And I would like some feedback on a couple things.

Do you have to accept orders every day or within a certain time Period?

I am 53 so wondering if there’s a lot of heavy items. Not the 53 years old but six months ago I had both of my knees replaced and I’m not trying to mess them up again lol

Do you enjoy it? Any feedback is welcome.

Thank you so much! I hope you have a blessed weekend full of money!

To whoever this concerns: The signs that say pick up 1 through 12 in my location, means you are picking up an order! It does not mean, let me park my car here because I am entitled and going to shop for somebody’s order! Not only are drivers picking up orders, there are also Sam’s customers picking up their orders! And also you can get deactivated real quick if a Sam’s employee sees you doing it! Don’t be a jerk, you can walk a little bit further!

For the last two days, I was sent in a rural area which I’m familiar with the small towns because I am from there. But I didn’t recognize the road so I followed first off Google Maps. If I would’ve recognized the street or had brains enough to scroll down to the route they were taking me, I would have noticed. It would’ve been 10 miles less! It took me on every back road through gravel to get to the house. When I get there, the lady said why would you take that route lol she gave me an extra $10 because of it and I said well that’s where Google Maps took me. So today I’m like I’m done with Google. I will turn to Apple Maps. Again, I’m old and not thinking so didn’t see the route and it again took me about 9 miles out of the way where I could’ve been there a lot sooner. But the mileage from both maps matches up with Spark does anybody else have this happen? Is it Spark app doing the routes? Since the mileage matches up with the Apple and Google? And again before you say it, yes I should’ve looked at the route, but I feel like I shouldn’t have to lol as a grandma I was cussing more than I should.

I finally found something that feels like I’m cheating, but I’m not! If you’re craving mozzarella sticks buy this cheese! You slice it and put it in the pan until it’s brown on both sides and it is amazing! I tried the garlic one, but they also have original and bacon! I’m going back tomorrow for more! And it is only around $3.50. It won’t let me add a photo, but it is by the fresh mozzarella at Aldi’s.
