"It's really enjoyable," Iredale said.
"You go out, you see the countryside. It gets me away from underneath
the wife's feet."
The job provides him with a sense of purpose and keeps him active.
"It keeps me busy, keeps my mind busy, I feel I'm doing something
worthwhile," he adds.
Iredale has just delivered his 5000th package with Amazon Flex.
His story highlights a growing trend among retirees who are seeking
part-time or casual work to supplement their income and stay connected
to the community.
Becoming an Amazon Flex driver is a straightforward process.
Anyone with a valid driver's license and a car can sign up.
The job offers a flexible schedule, allowing drivers to choose their
own delivery blocks.
For a four-hour delivery block, drivers can earn at least $114.
By committing to one block per week, drivers can earn approximately
$6000 annually.
"The great thing about Amazon Flex is you can be your own boss and
deliver from a delivery schedule of your choice," Amazon Logistics
Country Lead Tim Coventry said.
