go to Alert settings and reduce your alert radius to distance you want to travel to pick up jobs.

We double it if you're empty at home (I might change this). What was the pickup postcode of the job you got the text for?

According to Google (obviously for radius from you these are straight line distances), 85.9 miles for [postcode] and 88.4 miles for [postcode]. Both are double the 45 miles.

We draw a circle around you and see what falls within it. I do think I need to simplify it and not double the radius when empty at home, but just use the radius you specified.
