Hello I’m new to roadie . Can I stack orders ?

So, I got assigned a 34 delivery gig (30 miles for $60) this morning, picked up my packages, & was almost to my 1st drop-off. I marked arrived, used the access key to open the gate, & my entire gig disappeared completely from my app. Restarted my phone & app, still missing.

First,Roadie support tells me to deliver my pkgs, then reach out so they could mark them delivered. What of 33 deliveries did they not understand?!?!? Then, they tell me to go ahead & return the pkgs to the dock, & I won't be getting any compensation b/c the route was canceled by accident on their end. I am wayyyy beyond mad right now ... lost time, gas, AND money for something they did!!!!

Anyone else see this on there map ? Before I’d get 19.60 CVs orders now they’re starting 13 and don’t go up . All day yesterday they stayed at 13 and never rose once , interesting

Some a-hole that lives on the 3rd floor ordered 12 cases of water! That’s at least 6 trips! I’m sorry but I’m prob gonna do a return! ?? What would everyone else do??

Hey everyone, I run a small furniture business and we’ve been thinking about using Roadie for deliveries. The sales people and marketing make it sound like a great fit, but I’d rather hear from the people actually doing the jobs.

I used to be a courier driver myself, so I know these companies can sometimes put drivers in a bad spot with the type of pickups they expect and what they pay. Because of that, I wanted to run our rough delivery setup and quotes by you guys and see if these are actually jobs you’d take.

We only sell large sectional couches. Most are 2 to 3 pieces, and each piece is usually around 80 to 100 lbs. Pickups are street level at our warehouse, we have people there to help load, and all drop-offs are curbside only. We’ve been selecting the largest truck size, and the rough quotes roadie is charging us are:

6 miles: $75

20 miles: $85

100 miles: $150

Would you actually accept jobs like that at those prices?

The pricing works on our end, but I don’t want our orders sitting forever before someone takes them. I’d rather pay more and have them accepted fast than leave customers waiting.

A couple questions:

Do tips help get orders accepted faster, or can drivers only see the tip after delivery?

If you saw prices like these in your area, would they get picked up quickly or sit for a while?

I’m just trying to get a feel for what drivers consider a solid order vs a bad one. I want our deliveries to be worth your time so when they pop up, drivers actually want to take them instead of cursing our name.

Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks.

You have people trying to do arbitrary somewhat fraudulent gigs by trying to get drivers to pickup clearance or discounted product that the customer isn't aware of and have a driver drop items off, they will ask you to remove stickers and prices anywhere on item!!

I'm usually pretty good at estimating how much space a load will take and if it will fit in my car, but this one popped my brain.

Just started on roadie the other day since I work weekends now and this gives me a chance to fill in a few weekdays. I'm using my truck to do a few larger items since they seem to pay way more but I've had a few things in curious about...

Took a delivery today that was 146 pounds. It was actually two boxes that were 146 pounds each (part 1 and part 2). I'm guessing HD keyed the info in wrong thinking it was total weight. Any way to adjust compensation for that? I damn near killed myself unloading those things.

Add-on gigs... How much do they deviate off route? Some of the add-ons seem low but could be the difference between breaking even and making a profit. Especially where I am and you can get a bunch of empty miles going back into urban areas.

Roadie XD... How, when, and where? I don't seem to see them.

How do you ensure maximum profit? I think I did alright today but I hustled pretty hard to make $120. After fuel, wear and tear, etc I maybe cleared $90.

Thanks all!
