I got a surge route today, 3.5 hr for 105$ at a not familiar warehouse. Turn out sending me to busy downtown.
And it was around 4pm when I arrive an apartment building. There is no way safely parking at the street not blocking the traffic so I got in a nearby apartment building. Seeing there are plenty of empty parking spot I randomly parked a spot and got the package. It turn out it is another apartment building at the corner so I rushed to it. However ringing the customer to enter the building and messing with the fancy locker system took some time. It took around 5 min to finished and back to my car.
As I back to the parking place a tow truck was towing my car and leaving. I had to shout out loud and stopped it. The driver would not letting me go and insisted a 55$ charge. I still need to pickup my daughter after the delivery and at that time really panic so I gave in and just give him the money.
I then drove away and found a safe place and stopped to take some deep breath. I’ve been doing flex for a year and this is the first time I feel so angry and sad and depressing and…so not worthy.
And then I still have to finished the route. The traffic is so bad it actually took 5 hour to finish it. And then go back to my family pretend nothing special happened…
