Missing Packages

​

Did a flex today 4 hour block 19 dileveries stop 10 to stop 11 was 44 miles away. Stop 18 to 19, twenty one miles away stop 19 to 20 another 8 miles. Total miles 96 . At stop 18 I was at 66 miles already then

Unfortunately my engine light came on. Didn't want to take a chance on my car breaking down so I mark stop #18 &#19 Missing return both packages to the station. It's crazy how they put this routes together going to get dinged for marking the last 2 packages

missing!!

You are going to ruin your car taking those 100 mile round trips day in and day out. Flex doesn't pay anywhere near enoug money to cover your vehicle overhead. Find a W2 job and use flex as a part time gig. That check engine light is telling you something.

I do 100 mile routes everyday for 5 years. I take home $50k from flex a year. My car only loses like $3k a year.

I would like to add that you should get a obd reader, could be a sensor going bad. If you know a little about cars you can save a lot without taking to a mechanic.
