Is it just me or are the ExxonMobil shops late in posting for the 1st quarter?

2 different Phillips 66 programs have dropped. And they usually drop in advance of the program start date, which is the 5th in this case. Not sure whether or not Exxon/Mobils drop in advance of the start date.

Ha! I just keep checking the map every hour or so. Looking for yellow, mostly. My gas cans have run dry! I did get my famous highways, though. I'm all out of snacks
too. Both scenarios. Darkness on the way out and daytime on the way back.

Led, for the famous highway? The blue pins might be underneath the purple ones. I discovered that, to my joy, when assigning the purples. There they were, hiding.

they aren't showing on the list either.. just lighting audits. BP, and P66. I just did my last Exxon lighting audit for $75. Haven't seen any E/M site experience shops except the ones my son is finishing up from the last round either.

Seems like the MSC is posting them in clusters. I'm seeing little groups in some areas and others are empty, even though there are plenty of that gas brand in those areas.

Only a couple have dropped in my area. Will wait to see if anything else hits. If so I will add a day to my pending route.

They are trickling in, but be forewarned.

They all start on Monday, January 5, but some have 72-hour pin windows while most have the usual 120.

I'm seeing:
Monthlies $15 pay, 72 hours.
Quarterlies $12 pay, 120 hours. All start 1-5.

take a closer look. The regular Phillips 66 are hiding behind the lighting ones.

Mary, they were NOT there. I read the list, not the map. I even signed out to see if they populated, but they are not there in my area.

Are we talking P66 or EM? The P66 could easily be all taken. And the EMs, well I am seeing a bunch missing too, All monthlies. Maybe they are waiting to release those because they were done later in the month last time, or someone is super eager because of the lack of shops the past couple of weeks.

It was a suggestion.

Mary, I answered the same question twice. Today there are some E/M shops that weren't there yesterday. And so far, at least, I've only found ONE P66. I thought it was a rotation issue, but I signed out of Presto and they still don't show. So I'm going to guess that they are releasing them slowly.

Either way, I've got most of the first 3 weeks of January already scheduled, anything I do now would just be fill in, and I don't do any jobs for base pay.

A decade ago I did hundreds on routes. Fuel was less expensive. But pay then was same as today. Inflation means today's shops pay less than they used too. Add higher gas cost and maintenance on cars, makes me wonder what highly paid executives at the company think about people who must work for the equivalent of $5 hour

New Changes to report: almost none! Only the last group of satisfaction busy-work questions (with ratings 1-5) are gone. Yay!

It's monopoly business, you either do work for them to get paid or you get zero pay. There is no competition. The leverage is on their side as there will always be people that will be willing to take it for $10/ea. You can either complain and quit or adapt. They have no incentive to increase pay. Simple as that. Besides a decade ago you need to purchase a camera separately, nowadays you can just take out your phone and get everything done with your phone camera over your 5G network too.

Also, for the stations with a branded diesel canopy, you get the warning at the top of the report that it MUST be evaluated but there is no section on the form for any of that!

Kise's got a point about how overly simplified these shops have become. I can do 20 or more in the same time it took for 10 a few years ago.
