Base pay has been $12 for ages.

Only a handful are showing up on my pending route to PHX and back starting a couple of weeks from tomorrow. Hopefully some remote ones will still be around. Even better would be for the slate to fill in with all the usual suspects.

Have synthesizers, will travel...

It was $14 last cycle (and many cycles before that, I think)

they raised the base pay to $14 a couple years ago.. if the idiots will leave them on the board for a few days I'm sure someone will catch the mistake and correct it like they did with the BP shops a few months ago. And they won't start until after Labor Day. Which means they'll time out before you can even do the shops, that's been a huge snafu a couple times when they've released the shops early.

Always been $12 in my area, best I can recall.

But I don't even bother with them until they go to bonus, so maybe I wasn't paying that much attention.

Even a 4-pumper is not worth base + compensation unless I'm desperate or it's on an extensive route and I need them 2 gallons of gas..

There is a limit of 10. Once you assign 10, the rest disappear from your map until you start completing some.

Hi everyone! I don’t typically post here because this is your space, but pay SHOULD be $14 for this study. We fixed it. If you did any at $12, email me and I’ll make it right.

But if you've already self assigned for the start date of 9/1 the pay is still $12. Shop logs have not been "fixed."

Correct. We can’t solve for anything assigned without removing them from you. So, shoot me an email if you’ve already been paid and we’re short. We will have the validators manually update any that get submitted at $12. Thanks for the understanding.
