@Boutique I just read your other post about photographing the wrong house. I know what Velocity is now. I have done work for them. I did it for a year and it was very part-time. I averaged less than $200 a month. It was only worth doing because I could add on their jobs with my other route.
Yes, you have to pair it with other work. I used to work for them a few years ago and didn't have jobs too often.
They are now sending some nearly every day but I am finding it is not going to be worth it to take all the work available because it is too low paying for the distance involved.
The problem is you have to go inactive or get blacklisted for refusing work. Arrgh.
All money ain't good money. If it's not worth it then quit them. I just look at it as lunch money for me. Also, change your zip codes to ones closer to you.
Yeah, i am trying to work out a strategy.
Because I do frequently travel about 30-40 miles around me for other jobs that do cover mileage I figured I would leave the zip codes stretched out.
The issue is that I am in a more rural area, adjacent to denser suburbs. It is at least 10-20 miles to any of the surrounding towns and they aren't paying a reasonable fee for that 20-40 mile round trip.
The work is nothing, that is 5 minutes and done, it is simply the driving.
Fortunately, some gas is covered by station jobs, but there are still miles being put on an older vehicle.
What I forgot was they just don't pay enough to justify driving out of town if there is no other work on the way.
It is nearly impossible to make that synch up.
Trying to determine if I get strikes against me for not replying to job offers (you have a max 3 hours to take it / decline it then they send it on).
If no consequenses I will just do that but if it is a black mark then that won't work.

Well damned if they didn't just send me 3 nearby jobs at the same time. Maybe I just needed to build up a rep as a reliable agent before they sent me multiple jobs.
