Flex drivers: What do you do with leftover packages after your block?
Picked up a route to a depot which is around 70 mins away from home as local depot slots get picked up like crazy and was looking to get some work.
Was decent hour rate and 4 hour route, so picked up the shift. Reached at depot and was handed a long mileage route, Oka fine.
All heavy over 10 kg parcels and returns from either morning shift or previous day but most were business deliveries and because I was starting at 1800 hrs, I told depot staff to remove very heavy and business packages as businesses are closed. (Checked addresses on google for closing time)
Depot staff removed parcels, and I went on route. 1st delivery 40 mins and 40 miles away.
Completed all parcels and saw 4 parcels left in car but route was complete and app was not showing any returns. My best guess that depot staff removed more than required parcels.
Now to return to depot and go back home was showing me 2 hours more. Took parcels with me for now as I was not willing to drive for another 2 hours when it was already 10pm. What should I do? Should I keep parcels or donate or keep with me until next time I pick up shift at this depot which could be weeks or days away. What would you do?
I don’t want to keep it, but I don’t want to drive 2 hours without getting payed because someone messed up at depot.
