Side Gig Saturday: Spark Delivery Driver. Attempted A 12 Hour Shift. EP. 4 

@@donnawilliams8204 I’ll have to track it and share in one of my next videos. I didn’t get as many steps as I thought would the last time I checked. It was disappointing lol. I told my son I bet that coffee was a lot cheaper than ordering it from DoorDash, especially if they have Walmart plus and get free delivery.

Welcome!!! I have signed up for instacart but I'm on a waiting list for it. I will have to check out your channel. Thanks for subbing to mine.

@@ajdavis98775 Thanks for watching! I try not to complain, but I do like to keep it real about the technical issues we experience, and then share how and if it was resolved. Everything is a learning curve.

@@CarolynnMarkey Aww. Yes I definitely wear my seatbelt!!! I do put the torso part under my arm so it goes across my stomach instead of my chest. I didn’t even realize I did that until I started editing these videos lol. Made me wonder what are things people do they don’t even realize they do. I love seeing our town too. My son wants me to start doing some just driving videos because it’s so pretty so I may start doing that on some Sundays.

@@49ersfaithfulforever90 I have a love hate relationship with 12 hour shifts lol. At my main job I work 12 hours on night shift. After 11-ish years I’m ready for a change.

@@Kelzkitchen I don’t blame ya, I couldn’t do 12s again lol

@@thatgirlkrae 🤣🤣🤣 She went and visited a neighbor lol

@@angie-xy5sf Yes I thought about that. Sometimes the items are very basic though and hard to think something was out of stock. It may be to split orders so that one store isn’t overloaded with orders, while one is barely filling any. I try to pay attention to notes. Sometimes the notes crack me up. I can tell they have had issues in the past.

@@Kennyc.830 Thanks for watching. GMD stands for “ General Merchandise Deliveries” For those deliveries you deliver to more houses, and it’s typically not grocery items, at least not perishable ones. One day it felt like I was delivering a small bag of rice. Generally these packages are one item/package per house. For GMD deliveries I like to think of them more like Amazon packages.

@@Kelzkitchen oh okay thank you very much, again great video

@@Robbieeats it depends on the day. Some days are better than others. I put the amount at the end of the videos for that day and then where I’m at monthly. Today, the day I’m responding to you, I made $93.99 and worked 5 hours.

@@dantemartin9206 What I accepted the trip for money wise. What time I confirmed arrival, what time I ended the trip, and the mileage for the trip. I like to see in real time numbers.

@@Kelzkitchen wow that’s smart

@@quazimutato it’s in central Virginia.

It's very pretty, thank u

@@quazimutato it really is. My son wants me to record some videos of just driving. I may start doing a Sunday Joy Ride series soon.

@@davidedwards2433 Yes, I was expecting working a 12 hour shift I would at least hit $200. I think doing the Sam’s order hurt me big time. Sam’s offers in my area are just horrible but I was trying to hit incentive. Hopefully next time will be better. Between Sam’s and the GMD delivery, is where a good bit of the miles came from. What hours did you spark for your 4.5 hours if you don’t mind me asking?

@Kelzkitchen I started at about 11:30 yesterday. Today I started at about the same time, worked until 6pm, made $153 and drove 57 miles. I deliver from just one store. It's a busy store with way too many drivers but somehow I manage to make $20-$25/ hour.

@@davidedwards2433 that’s awesome. I went today but spark was glitching and I lost $56 in offers because it wouldn’t let me confirm arrival, so 5 trips were canceled . I’ll try to do screenshots my next video of offers. I think our offers here are not great. I worked 5.5 hours, drove 50 miles and made $99.

should be. if they tip. i hate all this tipping society but i 100% tip my walmart delivery. least 15 to 30

@@angie-xy5sf That is amazing of you. I agree the tipping culture is getting out of hand, but I always tip when I have groceries delivered and DoorDash. 1.) I live a little far out. 2.) They are doing something I don’t want and can’t do at the time. I’ll try to show in the next video offers, unfortunately most don’t tip here or tip very little.

I help with the GMD so I can scan as we load, but grocery deliveries they prefer us to stay in the car. A lot of the times 2 employees come out to load the cars. I don't see people out or helping except with GMD orders.

@@2473rachel I thought about trying Shipt. I drive for Spark so we pretty much only do Walmart but that depends on your area. Good luck if you try it.

@@Kelzkitchen yeah will see shipt is up and down I haven’t worked them this year yet

@@milesj179 Thank you!!! 🥰

@@jonathan993 Yea this trip wasn’t great. I’ve had others that were way better. Right now life is too busy to commit to a part time job where they schedule you, so I need something that is flexible and I can work it when I can. I substitute when school is in session because I can pick my days etc.
