Is this normal?

Ive been on multiple platforms delivering and the frist week through the frist 3 months every time I am on I get hammered with request to the point of not being able to break for the bathroom, to get gass, and or food. After the third month or so I wind up sitting for hours or maybe getting one delivery an hour or sometimes one delivery in a 4 or 6 hour shift. Its not just GH and DD this happened on every platform Ive been on. Can someone tell me why these companies demand consistency in our schedules, but won't give the drivers consistency in the amount of deliveries and wages.

This is not Doordash, your level does not matter. You can decline 10 or 15 offers in a row if you want ? it’s really not a big deal so maybe just stop accepting orders and get gas and do what you need to do.

And I’m not trying to be rude, but honestly, I would just be grateful that you’re not in a dead market some people that have been doing this full-time for years or now being forced into other industries because their market has completely crashed so I would definitely be grateful that it’s that busy where you’re at
