Remove the limit on Amazon Flex driving hours


Remove the limit on Amazon Flex driving hours
The Issue
There are currently limitations on the amount of time, or number of blocks, an Amazon Flex driver can work. We are independent contractors, not employees, so why the limit? We want to work!
The daily limit is currently 9. Please remove the limit or raise to 10. Most blocks are 3 or 4 hours. If you work a 4 hour block it is difficult to reach the limit of 9.
The weekly limit is 40. Your most dependable, hardest working drivers would like to work more.
With the current system of weekly caps, many regular drivers are capped in 4.5 days. In the Nashville (and I assume other cities as well), Amazon ends up paying increased rates on the weekends, bad weather and major events like the recent eclipse. If a driver knows they are going to have to choose to give up some shifts they are going to pass on weekends and bad conditions which ends up costing Amazon more money.
Please consider this change. It will save Amazon money and make the regular drivers very happy. Isn't that what you want ...... Miles of Smiles?
Thank You!
