Shady business practices
Listen up you are expected to front the money for the delivery so if it’s $300 they want you as the driver to pay out of pocket and be reimbursed later. And when you see an order they do not tell you what size the order is, or how big the tanks are. Until you accept the order. So unless you have 2 or 3 people with you, if you get an order to pickup a few 100lb tanks you better be able to lift a few hundred pounds by yourself. This company is promoting modern day slave labor for pennies. Would you pickup 2 (100 lb tanks which are 70lbs empty, and return with 2 full tanks weighing 167lbs each for $40 to driver 20 miles? If you work for this company you are an idiot they want you to fund there business with your money and work for them at the same time.BuildingWha7

We understand the concerns raised about the Flash Driver app, and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused. It's essential to clarify that drivers are only required to front money for deliveries when the Flash Retailer is not affiliated with our platform. In cases where the Flash Retailer is affiliated, there is no need to front any money; drivers only handle the pickup and drop-off process. Regardless of whether money is fronted, we want to assure our drivers that they will always be reimbursed the same day for any expenses incurred during deliveries. This ensures that our drivers are not financially burdened and can continue their work without interruption. We acknowledge the need for improvement in providing clear information about order sizes and weights upfront. We are committed to enhancing our app to ensure that drivers have all the necessary information before accepting orders, allowing them to make informed decisions. Furthermore, we take your concerns about compensation seriously. We will review our pricing structure to ensure that it aligns with fair compensation for the work involved in each delivery. Your feedback is invaluable to us as we continually strive to improve our services and address any concerns raised by our drivers. If you have any further questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to us.False promises and shady business practices
Even if you don’t want to accept an order or it’s to far, you constantly get pinged with an alert, non stop. And new drivers are not informed of the weight of an item or proper safety and storage instructions. And the payments you get compared to what is advertised to sucker new people to work for them is vastly different. They claim on places like Craigslist that you receive .30 cents + per mile on top of the delivery charge. Really ? I’ve never been offered that or even been told I would receive that. Not to mention they asked me to use my own bank account to pay for Customer deliveries in the promise that I would be paid back? Huh? Using workers to fund your company upfront? That’s insaneGreat new way to make some cash
I became a Flashgas driver and have made more money per delivery than any other driver app I’ve used. Highly recommend this to people if you have a pickup truck which is a requirement. Plus orders always come in because people always need propane!ThinkandGrow
