I think the mileage at least, you can claim on your taxesHeard the distances were long. Lots of gas and miles and not neccessarily compensated by it like on uber.

Doesn't say it, but it's Amazon, they always expanding n shyt. Try signing up, maybe they hit you when it's available?
I guess a LOT of people have been complaining about OnTrac? 
What is that?I guess a LOT of people have been complaining about OnTrac?
Used to use OnTrac for deliveries only when it was the absolute last option. Would never recommend them.I guess a LOT of people have been complaining about OnTrac?
Same thing pretty much... those "Same Day Delivery" options on PRIME would have a regular person like me or you drive to one of the Amazon Warehouses or Locker Rooms & pick up packages to personally deliver to people after 5pm. They used to be dope but then people started complaining because drivers weren't even attempting to deliver & were still clocking hours. Like if you lived in an apartment or condo they wouldn't even attempt to drive to you & would just report to Amazon that they couldn't get in the building. Lying pretty much but still getting paid...

We're moving to an economy where a few major huge companies will do everything and hire contract workers (not full timers) to deliver services. 
Uber and Airbnb are examples of service based companies where most of the liability and resources are put on the person contracting their services out. Because of this both of those companies have been able to expand globally exponentially over the last couple of years because they use YOUR existing assets (car/home) and don't owe you shyt in the way of benefits or severance.
Crazy thing is job prospects are so poor right now for many americans that they have no choice but to get hype over the prospect of making $20 a hour on short term contracts with companies like amazon. This + more robotics/automation will have shyt spooky in about another 20 yrs.

These gigs were suppose to be side hustles for folks who have full time work or wanted extra money for their part time jobs, now they are becoming "fulltime" options for some of us

Exactly, slowly but surely they are eliminating ways for black people without college degree to make good money long term. There are UPS/FedEx drivers making 6 figures with only a high school diploma (do you need a CDL to drive the small brown truck?) . Union jobs that protect the worker will become less and less available. I even read that hiring is down in government jobs. The crazy part is companies like uber/amazon will be able to do this by keeping cost down (since they don't provide benefits or unemployment, etc) and will win on price competition. It's basically the Walmart model for taking over retail in cities, but against all kinds of services.
