Pros

The only pro is that if you are offered decent shifts, and the station is well prepared, you may get a package load that is actually doable within the timeframe you signed up for.

Cons

Picked up a 3 hour shift, and the station gave me a package load that took 6 hours to complete. After I complained to Support, I received a minimal payment to make up for the extra time and the shifts that I was able to pickup were drastically reduced. They will punish you for any problem that comes up, whether its a problem with the system, traffic, or the amount of packages given to you by the station, it will always go back to you. Terrible treatment of their contractors.

Pros

Lots of routes available to drive using your own vehicle, both in early morning and in the evenings. Get paid the same day that you drive. Routes are usually pretty tight so you're not doing a lot of long distances between stops.

Cons

Low pay for the amount of miles you'll have to drive. You may average about 20-25 an hour, depending on how long of a block you sign up for. But you'll end up spending at least 1.5 hours pay to put back into your gas tank. You can't choose the area you want to drive in, it's chosen randomly for you. So you could be clear across five counties from the starting point.
