$118 less $60 in gas Leaves you with $58 For an eight hour round trip. The weather sucks right now too with sleet and snow so it’s probably going to be more like 12 hours.

You get to listen to your own music as loud as you want...

It's possibly a good gig if you're driving a rig/car hauler that route.

Yeah, it's only reasonable to consider if you are already going that way OR..... there are some really good drugs in the box and you are ready to go outlaw.

I find Roadies to be great little side-gigs. I do mystery shopping and every now and then there are gigs that are out of the area into the hinterland of South Texas. The mystery shop is usually an all-day proposition (I just have to get there before they close usually) so I will turn on the Roadie and see if there are any pick-ups going that way. Best Buy uses them a lot and there are no other Best Buy stores between San Antonio and the Valley so I'm in the sweet spot for that big old swath of land between SA and McAllen (outside of Laredo). Not unusual to see a $40 delivery leaving out of BB.

What I don't get is that if you're delivering for Home Depot or AutoZone, I get that the carpenter or mechanic might be waiting for the items you're delivering. Best Buy and you're delivering an I-Phone? It seems like the "must be done by 8:44 AM" is just arbitrary.

That's how they used to justify the shit pay: "you're already going that way so we don't even give you gas money".

**** Roadie

The justification is that you are classified as an IC
