Amazon Is Hiring People To Help Deliver Packages Using Their Own Car….

One of the drivers got their car stolen in Oklahoma City this week and it was full of Amazon packages. They mentioned this on the second news report. The driver was delivering those package. Just a heads up if you are inside your house listening for the Amazon truck to arrive it may be a privately-owned car instead that stops and drops off packages.

Yes, an Amazon delivery was made on our street via a private car.
After making the delivery, the driver couldn't start his car because the battery had died. He was very grateful when we gave him a jump start.

Should we bill Amazon? 😁

Hell yes. They give you zero for free. @Thinkerbell

It wouldn't surprise me a bit if in their contract with a private driver, Amazon specifies that any repair costs that the driver incurs while making deliveries are the responsibility of the driver.

Of course. And that they will indemnify Amazon for anything related to the driver 🤣 @Thinkerbell

You could fly around and deliver packages. Who needs a car? 🤔

Yes it's called the Amazon Flex program that allows you to use your own private vehicle to supplement their official Amazon vans and trucks, but as a contractor only. As a former Flex driver myself they still offer me shifts I can pick up for extra cash, which is cool (you can make up to about $80+ on an early-bird 3 hr shift, plus you can add extra shifts for more bucks), but on a 1099 contractor only basis - not an official Amazon employee. Every single person I delivered to had a smile on their face. You gotta hustle though as I'm sure you would, of course...

If TBell was an Amazon Driver
Rushing with great speed as a Striver
There'd be no Delay
Of your package Today
Because she'd be an Early Arriver!

Sweet T-Bell delivers the goods
In towns, or perchance, in the woods.
But she travels, folks say,
Armed with HOT pepper spray,
When delivering goods in the hoods.

Got that right, deliveries made in the Day
Perchance can be fraught with Dismay
You can run into Dogs 🐕‍🦺
So big they're like Hogs 🐷
But hood houses can make you stay Away! 🏃‍♀‍➡
