Howdy. I was looking into doing some deliveries for Amazon on my days off to earn some extra cash. Does anybody here have experience with it? I'd probably only do about 10 hours a week in total. Like most of us, I could use a little extra and this seems minimally invasive to my schedule.

Yeah. I had a customer who tried that. He said it was tough getting bookings or jobs or whatever they call it. Apparently they give out a schedule once a week and if you ain't there right away you're pretty much fucked for getting the good hours. The main drawback he said was the fuel costs and the wear on his truck just from having to drive way out to the warehouse then deliver the shit. So you're probably gonna need to work out where your nearest warehouse is and if them costs are worth it.

Luckily I have a warehouse about 25 minutes from my house. It's right down the road from my regular job.

You will want to make sure your insurance covers you driving on fee. Most do not and you will need a new policy for that.

Well shit, that’s probably great. I don’t know how they do it but I guess it means you could pick up more stuff. Maybe they got a preferred driver system or something based on proximity to their warehouse.

Yes. I did it for some extra cash during the covid era. Honestly, it's not worth the wear and tear on your car.
