Can you make a video on how to prepare for the tax season for gig workers.
Facts
THIS RIGHT HERE!!!!!!!
Make sure to keep track of everything that can be a deduction on your taxes, as most gig jobs will have you fill out a 1099. You can claim deductions for mileage, per diem, business expenses, and more!
Jared Messersmith been keeping track of gas more then anything but also kms kinda is gas good to keep track of?
Thanks for bringing this up I can see it's received a lot of attention. The only thing with taxes is I don't want to give you incorrect information as I'm not a tax professional or CPA . I'm an expert in what I know and don't pretend to be a tax expert, hope you guys understand.
When it comes to taxes for the past 2 years I've done Turbo Tax self employed, they just ask you what 1099 income sources you have, you'll list gross revenue then corresponding mileage. They'll also ask if you want the standard mileage deduction or itemized deduction and you'll follow the respective prompts.
I say the same thing 90% of the time I reject anything less than 1$ per mile.
Another important thing to consider is where the drop-off will leave you...sometimes I get decent orders that take me to areas that are purely residential, with no restaurants around...so I have to drive back to an area where there's a probability of orders...so I am "riding empty" as truckers say. Important to consider this.
I spend 10 dollars in gas and make $90+ in 4 to 5 hrs so im very pleased
Same here
$4.50 peak pay I wish. Here in Florida the most I’ve currently seen in my area is $2
$2.00 is definitely doable as long as it's steady, thanks for watching Seth good luck out there be safe
Duh- it’s Florida... hang at IHOP for a early morning run- u WILL MAKE$$ with IHOP
I dash in Florida too, the other night Wellington had a $5 peak pay, you just gotta be in the right area honestly. I travel to other areas to do my dashing, I don't dash in my own resident area, it helps to expand
I saw $4 in Coral Springs last week
@@andresruiz62 LOL that’s Miami a huge city. Normal Florida ain’t like that.
I pretty much decline all drive through orders now, especially if it is a red card order. I will only pick up from fast food places where I can walk up. The only exception will be Chick Fil A, which they bring out when you arrive. They are usually pretty good but I did have a couple instances where I ended up waiting 20 - 25 minutes.
Dude- u shud be investing in OWNING a chic filay, not delivering for them- get $10,000 and a great location n apply online for ur own franchise, cause if u don’t, the next guy will
Yooper Author no, I’ve had 5 food businesses- all successful failures- now I’m 60 and so many men are humping their butts to chase that delivery for one more dollar when if they had the guts to go get the stoopid franchise and run it themselves. Franchises are BEGGING for new owners, as long as your LOCATION fits their agenda. Chic fila only wants $10,000. I’ve spent over a million on my failures. So why not give these men the push that they need.
Daniel Kleinmeier ok but we need to get 10k saved up first... until then I’m chasing the next gig
Chik fila you only need 10000 to apply for the franchise?
Hey, Mike. Thanks for your great advice. Did my first Dash today. Made about $56.00 for 2 hours worked...drove about 28 miles.
I started last night worked 7pm to 10pm made 125 I declined all orders under 7bucks but where I live everything is next to each other lol lake Charles lake Charles is small but packed non stop one at chili’s was three different orders I picked up lol I watched UA-cam before starting so knew right decline my car is brand new 2021 Santa Fe barely touched my gas was awesome . Full time mom during the day even those days peak pay is 4.00 I could only do evening I could decline and be another order in seconds non stop was pretty cool :) UA-cam helped me in advance :)
Where you live bro that’s really goof
The problem is where I live we never ever get more than 2 dollar peak pay and it's usually only 1 dollar and doesn't happen very often. We simply cannot make that kind of money here. The tips always suck and we are forced to take 5 and 6 dollar orders because that is about 90 percent of the orders we get 5 percent are lower and don't get accepted and the other 5 percent are the occasional 7 and 8 dollar orders
Same
What area are you in and are you multiapping?
Josiah Staggs no I’m. It because doordash is the only thing available here. We have grub hub but they are not looking for drivers here
I see DD is the only app in your marketplace? That does make it tough since they're the only game in town. Sounds like a smaller marketplace too? Any other niches you could look into?
@@YourDriverMike I do instacart too but it's just as slow and when they finally do have batches They are just way to little pay fro the size of the order. Other than that no! there's nothing else we can do here. We just have to deal with low pay and not many orders because being the only game in town it is also way over saturated with drivers. I'm lucky If I make 200 bucks a week
Great information! Thanks for sharing. Every little bit helps those of us considering delivery service.
Glad to help Colleen!
Awesome video! Best I’ve found so far! I start Dashing tomorrow!! Thanks!
You are a very informative UA-camr and took the time to comment back. Newly subscribed! Thank you for your hard work.
Welcome to the team Jerry!
After doing my first 4hr shift tonight, I think DD algorithm route higher orders to specific people. Base pay was $3. $2 peak. My. Entire shift all of my orders were $10+ with very short distances. My son was in the same zone and kept getting $7-$8 orders. He started last week. I’ve only done 118 total. I get high orders back to back but he doesn’t.
I will take stacked orders sent together by DD as long as they’re somewhat reasonable because I take into account that I only have to go to one pickup (to 2 customers) which saves me a lot of time.
My observation has been that, except for weekends, when the peak pay is higher, less orders come through because it's more expensive for the customer.
Weekends are definitely were it's at for bonuses
@Alpha omega Ilc. Yea but that’s probably because other dashers saw that high peak pay and decided to dash at the same time as you so you had more competition out there.
Peak pay does not affect what the customer pays. DoorDash takes care of that. I experimented with this and can confirm
@@owencollins4790 I experimented it too. I have the customer app and tried to order during peak hours... It costs more, so I know the customer is paying.
How do I go to your store for the bags & soda carry? Thanks 😊 or got a link in reply)
7:49 - Great video, where or how does the tax deduction factor in?
I stack orders between multiple platforms including dd. Make $35-$45 average in the poway area when I visit my family working solo. Working 11:30-1 and 4:30-7:30.
I would love to see a video that walks me and talks me through a full door dash after the fact... so record it in the moment, leave that hard to focus background music out, and talk me slowly through the process of an order coming in - what do you look at, what helps you to decide whether to take the order or not, what are the things you consider? Once you take the order, talk us through the details of how the app works from there. My first order took me forever to figure out how to do everything in a timely manner and I ended up getting tagged as not having delivered it on time, when in fact, I had delivered it at least 5-10 minutes early. Also, where do you put your purse? Some of the areas I deliver to are not the most trustworthy and full of character, integrity, and respect. I worry about my purse when I jump out to run a delivery up to a house.
Things I found hard to figure out on my first day dash today:
1. How do I look at the screen and know whether it is worth my time and drive?
2. How do I know what the full amount of miles will be?
3. Once finished, do I drive back toward a hotspot to pick up another delivery or stay where I'm at?
4. Is there a way to tell where I'm being sent ahead of time? (I live in Indiana and it sent me across the border to a rough neighborhood in Illinois today. I grew up in a neighborhood like that and I know what goes on. I was not prepared and should never have been over there.)
5. How do you go into the app and send the customer a text? Are you doing this through the app or through your own text message?
6. I actually live in a rough and unsafe area... How do I drive to a safer area where I can work? Do I have to find the hotspot or can I just go to the area and then pick up orders from there?
7. What app or process do you use for tracking mileage, vehicle maintenance, etc?
8. I know I'm missing some things. For a type A - Highly sensitive personality and a total introvert (functional introvert but nonetheless...), I was a little overwhelmed with it all. I wish I could have had time to play in a "test" version to really learn my way around the app and figure out how to navigate it but because they don't offer that, I need a video that at least takes the time to show these things - and preferably, a previously recorded dash that has been gone back through and voiced over to explain everything...
Nice video, I quit doing drive-thru orders due to the time issue, I also quit accepting any ride that takes me too far out of my zone, working out nicely so far here in Uptown/NODA in Charlotte.
Thanks for watching Jon!
Just a note is very different in Columbus GA, snsllish town not CALI, so when you mention good and bad amounts of money, it is all relative to one's area. I loved your idea of a spread sheet comparing peak pay to non peak pay. I also have been finding that Saturday is so saturated with drivers that I do much better during the week. Even though the orders tend to be for less, the resteraunts are much quicker,less backed up. And more orders because there are less drivers.
This is very helpful! Thank you. I subscribed and turned on notifications. Will keep watching!
Welcome to the team! Consider joining the Discord as well: discord.gg/YcvFyda
can i count the miles it cost me to get to work and back to home since it cost me money and maintenance to work?
Great analysis. Tips will make or break a night. I've gotten cash tips on top of what's in the app.
Nice job!
Any idea what's happened with picpay in Oceanside or Carlsbad Area California? They so low it got me wonder why?
Got a question I n for you when you schedule for long hours or short hours can you take a break in between
You can pause your dash for 35 total minutes regardless of shift duration.
Here in Vegas the market is FLOODED with drivers who are moving here from California. When peak pay hits, you're gonna get MAYBE one order per hour.
hi, thanks for your videos. How much can you earn doing doordash 8 hours a day in San Diego and what is the best area to work?
I really enjoy how you just get straight to the point and are very clear and helpful thank you some of the other instructional videos I had to force myself to sit through two minutes of it I could not get through the whole thing so thank you I appreciate your in-depth instructions and how you break everything down
What software do you use to edit your videos? I don't do red card orders and never work past 8pm cause it's always fast food and 3rd floor no tip
iMovie that came with my MacBook Pro! Looking to eventually upgrade to Final Cut
@@YourDriverMike the videos look great
I live in a suburb of Cleveland and lucked out with 2 orders and 2 different restaurants and made $40 with those orders alone. Thanks for the tips!
Clevelands hit or miss. I come out there from Pittsburgh sometime. All those Ohio UBER drivers are over here all the time!
One tip I have is if you can, work the hallmark holidays during the day. Fathers day, mothers day, valentines, admin day, boss day, etc. I worked mothers day last year (my mom lives in a different state) and I averaged $70 an hour on a four hour shift. As for taxes, use a tax program. I use tax act and while I declared 5700 last year, I paid zero taxes on my doordash side gig.
What do you use to track miles?
$4.50 peak pay?!?! Wish I could get that.
Definitely higher than other markets from what I've seen, the strategies definitely still work though. Thanks for watching 👊🏻
Your Driver Mike lol i dont even get peak pay i would have to drive to a different city 30 minutes away and thats only for a one dollar peak pay
Ya. It’s because our rent is $2150 for a 2 bedroom apt in this area
We had $11 peak pay here in Louisiana when there was a hurricane. Plot twist all the restaurants were closed though.
@@RussTafari 😱😱😱
I’m starting in Escondido and Vista area next week.
hi. i'm in chicago and PLEASE i need to know how to see the order deliver address BEFORE i accept the order so i don't get sent to a bad area. i have an android phone.. have been dashing for months but i dont' know how to see that up front.. please help
The "math" music was hilarious!
Thank you 😂😂 🤔
been doing DD for 2weeks, what happens with me or prolly most of us is that we get a delivery notification while driving, usually back from a drop-off, it will be from a merchant that is nearby me. I just click Accept because I'm not going to pull over, which sometimes it's impossible to do, and analyze in the 40-second time frame to Accept it or not. This happens all the time. I'm just able to glance at the dollar amount, all other info is in small type. I don't want to take my eyes off the road, so I just make sure it's not below $7. Any suggestions for the 40-second game show decision timer while navigating the roads?
Thanks for watching Gayle, something that can be tricky for anyone. Firstly yes I still look at the dollars:mile if I can, very minimum the pay but I can typically still read the miles. Second I quickly look if the DD GPS is showing I need to take an immediate exit because sometimes I don't have time to accept, click navigate and wait for Google Maps. Best case I'll exit on that immediate ramp then click accept, worse case I'll use the next exit and let it recalculate (unsafe road maneuvers are never worth it)
Can I’d use my moms car to dash?And is it really worth dashing during the pandemic of covid-19?Because I’m really interested on doing Doordash for extra money on the side but don’t have a car of my own but I’m not sure if I’d can borrow my moms car to make that extra cash?
I saw in Washingto, that a small town had a 5.00 base pay, and Everett was 2.00 Marysville is 3.00
We NEVER get those amounts of incentives here in Houston. What up DD🤔
Yeah I wish Houston has more peak pays man 😢
@@GliiderTV Where I live in Houston, peak pay pretty much happens almost every day. It’ll usually be $1, $1.50, or $2.

Hey I'm a dasher my is Dwayne am always looking at your show, question my account got deactivated is there anyway can you help me out just asking.
Thank you
Dwayne Burnett hey there not sure theirs much you can do but maybe email/contact support if you were deactivated for no reason, but if your ratings were low like 4.2 or lower then not sure you can do much about that maybe sign up for skip the dishes good luck tho
Thanks
I’m sorry I am new to DD . Is the amount showing how much the order is? Do you have any tips for a newbie that isn’t that tech savvy ?
Hi Christina, yes the amount that shows on the order request screen is the minimum amount you will earn on the trip. I would check out my DoorDash playlist for more: ua-cam.com/video/25YIK_f0p0g/v-deo.html

Hey Mike I'm planning to live in San Diego..i wanna door dash for the time being while being in SD..How much do you average in 4 hrs... What's the good time to work.. And what area..
I tried it out today.. It was mainly mission valley and convoy that was the area I was getting runs.. But every run would be about a 15 min drive.. After dropping off every run, I would have to drive back because I wouldn't get a run to the area I drop at.. I feel like I'm doing somethjng wrong can you give me some advice
I like. Great Video‼️
Glad to help 👊🏻
Mike I really hope you see this. I live in San Diego and I’m door dashing in mission valley. Pay is ok. My question for you is, which areas did you find to be the most profitable? La Jolla spring valley etc etc?
Quick question. I had to deliver an order that was completely out of my area and once I was there I was getting no orders and had to drive back to my area. Was I just unlucky once I got to a new area or are you not allowed to deliver in a area you weren’t assigned to?
doordash is sneaky , they take you out of the area you choose
Don’t choose far areas. Set your own limits before you dash. What I do is set a limit for distance, and pay. Nothing under 5$ and nothing further than 13 miles. I will make 100-140 a day. The first days I would go far and take any order and would only make 60-70 a day
I was wondering if you could talk about the mileage with DD. Sometimes when I get an order it will say 2.7 miles so I excepted and then when I get the food and click on the directions the mileage will change to something like 5.2 miles. What is that? Why is there such a difference in the mileage after I take it? I have noticed that on a few orders.
Sometimes the customer will change their address after ordering. Another reason is road closures and issues.
I got this a couple times
I've gotten that also , customer ended up being 10 miles out of the way, AND DIDNT TIP A SINGLE DIME!!!!
Hey Mike. The Doordash driver app has changed. I only see the total order, I can't tell what my guarantee pay is. Can u help?
I started up Postmates last week and made 873$ in first 5 days
To be honest, I don't like the shopping with the card or even the items to purchase with the card on the drive thru because it takes too much time. Although just watching and listening to your videos helps me out alot to try and make more money on a weekly pay. I try so much to not take the low paying orders because it takes too much of my time,when I should concentrate on the bigger payouts as you have mentioned. And I took the part the part when you said that a Hotspot does not really give you something to deliver. I've tested it and that is so true. With Doordash they will not give me a delivery right away until I have confirmed the deliveries. Uber on the other hand gives me deliveries continously even before I confirmed a delivery which Uber really keeps me busy throughout the day,nights,and mornings. Thanks again for your videos and tips.
Man..NV has insanely bad base pay && incoming orders. I gave DD a try back in early 2019 just to check it out & it wasn't bad in SoCal. Fast forward to now, I need extra flow & have moved to NV. It blows my mind at all the $3 dashes for 6+ miles and rarely any peak pay past $2. I stay away from the strip because its SO much effort for literal crumbs. Beyond frustrating. Made $65 today (Fri) while out on the road for 6hrs!! Found this page while waiting on orders & look forward to the content. I hope it helps me here!!
I start tues🤗🤗🤗. Got my card today.
Stay within 5 miles and remember, that decline button is there for a reason. Only take orders $7 and up. Thank me later!
Oh yeah welcome to doordash!
personally i would NOT take the extra 11 for the additional 7 mi
The high pay is the region your working in. It has nothing to do with being close to a restaurant with lots of orders. Unless being within 5 miles is close to you.
all this dont go to the hotzone advice.. lol.. so i should drive around the houses where there are no restaurants.. good advice...
1. Don't take anything under $10.00
2. Every 1 mile you drive you've got to make at least $2.00
3. Never accept stacked order.
4. Boycott merchants who had history of making you wait for too long.
5. Don't accept any order where your drop off location is outside of your zone
1. $10 is high even here with strong peak pay although I do try to get $10+/order I don't think most markets would support that.
2. Ideally definitely, that's a strong payout
3. Disagree there I've had $20+ stacked orders with let's say 10 miles or less
4. I don't boycott but I will be cognizant if I've had to wait there before and may ignore that request
5. I can see that argument but in practice again may be more challenging but not impossible
It depends on your goal for the hour...What if you get $5 for 1.5 miles not taking that? I know I am
Depending on the area. My goal is to never match or exceed the miles with the pay, but I'd say on average in my sprawling suburb I tend to drive around .65 miles for every dollar or so. I'm trying to avoid the edge of the city more often and stick to the middle, since orders on the city edge often get delivered to another city, IE, take me out of my zone and double the mileage on an order. Though, one city can be VERY good to dash in, but it's not as common as I would like it to be.
@@thisjustin4864 those 6 to 7 dollar orders can be very good if they are local and at night, especially if they stack. Stacked orders are king in my area.
I've had stacked orders that say go 5 miles and make 10 bucks and the two houses are less than a mile or half mile from each other.
What exactly does “desirability” entail? You didn’t explain that. Does that mean that certain drivers carry more desirability and tend to get offered better orders (maybe due to high ratings, etc)?
How do you stack orders are stack orders always coming from the same location?
Hi Ziggy, stacked orders come from business areas so it could be a busy zone or simply a busy restaurant that has too many orders and not enough drivers to fulfill them.
@@YourDriverMike or also DD will stack orders when the customers live near each other and it's the same restaurant or restaurants in same plaza. I've had primo hoagie and salad work stacked orders and taco bell with mcdonalds.
I did my first day in my area in tucson doing gig driving. For about 4 hours. Got lost at the uofa for 20 mins and spent 20 30 mins back at home with my dogs since my puppy was sick that day. So about 3 hours in total. About 10 deliveries 32 miles driven. But made 70 bucks. Would you say that's good?
U get paid for the miles you drive during a shift or no
Yeah that works great out in California, but that’s not relevant on other locations. Here in Daytona beach Florida (which is a tourist town) you never see 21 dollar orders unless it’s Walmart. The average is about 9 to 10
try big city downtowns but the flipside is there is no parking and you might get ticketed..
I’m surrounded by 7-10 restaurants in my area, but i average 4.50 per offer (not per order that i accept) and 6mi per offer. My acceptance rate is 2% thanks to this
What’s that music at 4:21?
In my experience, you cannot avoid having ditch the low-pay orders to get to this one. I've had orders like this, but they usually come ONLY after I've ditched 3 or 4 orders that were either explicitly NOT worth my time AND ditched orders that were borderline to finally end up with this.
Drive thru orders are very convenient but late at night is trash. Ive waited at McDonald's for 40 minutes before. And taco bell typically will be out of food close to closing time. Restaurants dont have as many employees later at night ive noticed and thats when everybody wants to go get some drivethru food. Its a waste
Must be nice to see high peak pays I have not seen since april or may
Hey buddy, first time watching, tip, if your by or close to the restaurant, if you got a $11 7miles order, gotta factor in that if your driving 6 to 7 miles to house, that means you have to drive back to hot spots 6 or 7 miles, so really your making about 97 cents a mile 😥🤔🤔 , I most likely wouldn't take it. BUT if house isn't too far away from hot spots then yeah
Very true, the dead miles back without an order definitely factor into net profits
What if i receive other orders during the time that i was delivering my current order, should i accept it, i feel overwhelmed whenever i receive new orders, any advice please?
it can be a little overwhelming, what i did to mentally prepare myself is i changed the alert sound to a cash register. This reminds me that the little extra stress is worth good money. :) good luck and stay safe!
Pretty good bcuz I did pick day at 10 pm for 2 hrs made $80 and a day before 2 hrs $70 so his videos are helping me out alot
I have a question. Do you need special car insurance to do this driving?
No, but u can get mote coverage.
So if I get in an accident while dashing, I am not dashing! I am just out grabbing some takeout. Don't open any cans of worms is all I am saying. Just quietly notify the customer and Customer care, but don't make a big deal about it at the scene of the accident. Cause technically, you car insurance company may want to sell you commercial insurance. Now if you are doing ride share, definitely get extra insurance which is why I don't do that. Well, lets be honest nobody wants to ride in a 2 door VW beetle and I wouldn't feel safe picking up strangers.
Hi Emanuel it is good practice to get supplemental insurance yes, most all policies have gig specific supplemental coverage. Ask your provider as let's say you're driving rideshare or delivery and you get into an accident you may NOT be covered as you're using your vehicle for business purposes but you're only covered for personal use.
Could be different in different states. Here insurance is required for any driving gigs. DD is supposed to cover you while you are active on a dash. If you get into an accident where you are at fault, your own insurance may not cover you. It doesn't do much good to deny it as S.J. Bruner suggested. If you lie about what you are doing you open yourself up to penalties. If the police are involved and you lie to them by not mentioning DD you open yourself up to perjury charges. I am extra careful while on a dash, so as not to get into an accident in the first place. No I don't carry extra insurance. What is it that I am insuring? A bag of food?
I wish you could do a survey that set your preferences for these apps. Turn off/dislike/ favorite certain merchants and the algorithm would adjust to that. I got a jewel shop and deliver for $39 to go like 6 miles away a while back, loveeee. Today I took a shipt Best buy drop off and on the way I got a walmart in store pickup drop off for $32/5 orders, 1 bag each. So it was 2 pickups (bby/ walmart) and 6 drop offs, alot of miles but the shipt bby order was perfectly on the route for the DD walmart order and all of it was $55 for about 1 hours worth of work. Good day:)
In drive thru like McDonald's I see drive thru back up I cut around all the cars to get at window 1
The only draw back is going to the merchant and its always taking 25mins+ to get in and out of line. Or when you only get 3$ orders to take food over 9 miles
Here in St Pete it's $1.00 at most & $2.00 if you cross the bridge to Tampa (I live on the St Pete beaches) :(
Another reason why you will get higher pay from stores like 7-11 is alcohol orders pay more.
I have driven 11 hours this week. Earned $530. No peak pay 35 orders 112 miles and it was five easy 2 hour shifts
Return trip needs to be calculated into miles per dollar.
Absolutely!!!! Just what I was going to say!
Yea I never take anything under $2 a mile (meaning per mile of what DD says I have to drive)
@@whitneyangelie3682 smart how much you make a week?
@@rudyooo809 I only work 16-18 hours a week, but I do pretty good, I usually make around $400 per week... pretty decent part time money 🤷🏻♀️
@@whitneyangelie3682 wow thats great !
Definitely agree with the higher peak pay = less gross per hour/per shift. Live over in hawaii and if I see the 4.50 pay bump I generally wont go because it feels like the app offers more money per delivery to validate having an excess of drivers in a location that is assumed to be super busy on that day? So you will be sitting a lot more often, I usually see quite a few people hanging out in hotspots waiting during those bonuses. Usually I try a mix of hanging out for 10 mins and then driving through & around the outskirts. But I usually have a killer day around the 2-3 bump range
Exactly maybe they're over estimating demand levels and use the high peak pay to get drivers out but what just happens is over saturation. That's why it's so important to look at your numbers because the data tells the story!
@@YourDriverMike for sure! Ive definitely been trying to get a feel for it all but its generally all over the place out here. Started mixing it up with instacart during the downtimes to keep a constant flow going and thats helped a ton 🤙🏻
my sister does ubereats she finds esp at night cause its harder to get food delivered in that neighborhood that downtown in our local large city has very high tips. i went with her last night and i went wih her cause she did the late night shift for the first time down there. and despite most the orders werent going but 2 or 3 miles on any order ( i think the furthest we went was 5 miles) almost every order was around 10 dollars. we also went to the mcds beside the main hospital 4 times and each time it was at least a 15 min wait
In Kissimmee never never take orders at Old Town and also at food trucks parking lot in front of Old Town, that's a waste of time.
Hey @YourDriverMike, I wanted to know if you received an email or know about the DD offers for big orders such as catering deliveries. I got an email from them last week and they said if we had big oversized bags and could handle a large delivery or catering deliveries, for us to take a picture of the bags so they can approve them and then they can consider us for these bigger orders.
Hi Erin, we've been talking about this a lot on Discord so come join if you haven't already: discord.gg/YcvFyda. Just checked my email and I don't have anything on catering orders yet but I'll definitely take them should I get an invite
Your Driver Mike Maybe it goes out to Top Dashers. Not sure. I’m sure you are a TD as well so I’m sure you would’ve gotten the email. OK. Will check it out. Thanks
I received one the other day as well.
Bam Bam Do you have the big oversized bags to do those orders?
@@efrigo1 no i bought one though and supposedly that signs me up to receive those orders.....idk I spoke with a Door Dash rep via email about this because at first I got confused and thought my original bag was the bag needed and they said I needed a big bag so I asked them if it was true if I ordered one of theirs would it automatically sign me up and I still haven't received response to that. So idk lol
Mike, I love your videos. However, im from san diego, and the reason I dont doordash in mission valley is the inconvenience of parking, traffic, and ur telling me ur gonna pick up from a parking garage on level 5 at Fashion Valley to an apartment around Linda Vista, but your not disclosing the inconvenience. Its hard to compare your location because everyone doesnt do or have access to mission valley. For me personally I like to doordash in poway or san clemente, and Ive been very successful. The location has everything to do. Love ur videos just wanted to put some insight and comment. Thanks!!
I also drive in mission valley, there are lots of restaurants in the area. Personally, I love to work in this area. I also went to this same exact Sonic and OMG, the line was so long and finally getting to thr window, they told me it was picked up by someone else. I was so furious and have no longer picked up from there. I wasted a full hour and how they say, time is money. I would recommend that you don't get orders from here
When the order first pops up it only shows mileage to the store. How are you seeing this?
I had a stack order yesterday, 8.50 for five miles, then the other order was 2.75 miles for an additional 2.75, I didnt think it was worth it to wait because I had to wait already on the food I was there for already so I declined it, only because I felt like it wouldnt be fair to the customer to have to wait on someone else's food.... any ideas on this type of stacked orders ???
This happens to me today. An extra 3 miles back to my starting point for 7 extra but my first order from the restaurant was already 12 minutes late. Hurt a little bit but declined it.
Hi Tarheel, I would accept a stacked order if it paid out $1.50+/mile. As far as your customer's wait time that is just how these apps work. On Uber Eats for example your customer may pay extra for "Priority Delivery" which delivers directly to them with no other orders.
@@YourDriverMike Ok, I had a stack the other day, so I was waiting at arbys for food, then a wendys order came through with good money prob 2$ more a mile, so I declined it because by the time I left arbys and went to get the wendys food it would have been a way longer time to deliver, Im having trouble on what to do with these stacks....and what my rating will be ....drive thru dashing is a nightmare with these fast food joints .....
@@YourDriverMike ... forgot to mention and it gave me like 15 min. to deliver the wendys order when I hadnt even left arbys yet.... confused on these deliver by times
@@FL3345 I, personally, have strong thoughts about 2 things: 1)Getting warm/hot food to these customers 2) NOT stressing myself out. So, as a result, I never do stacked orders. Never. The few pennies may be a little better, but It just saves me from headaches.
I had a great 7/11 order that I was at. However, I had to go really, really far. I wish we could see customer location prior to accepting.
Hi Christine, on DD you see the starting and ending destination. Did you not see that on the order request screen?
doordash is tricky. ive had scheduled shifts with large gaps between orders making low money and also times where i hopped on and wound up very glad i did cause i got consecutive good orders (quickies, or big $$) unexpectantly.
Great points, it's definitely like that. Matt's seeing that in Pittsburgh which is why it's so good to drive on multiple apps
Yeah here in kansas city it does not matter what area you are in you will never receive more than $1 peak pay. with that being said in order to get the biggest orders, prepare for your acceptance rate to TANK (which btw does not matter as there is no minimum) as you will have a decline until you get the orders you are happy with. Once in a blue moon will i ever see a SINGLE $18 order (only happened to me three times, the other few it was 2 orders)
Bro how you getting $4 peak pay??? I dash in San Diego and I’ve never seen it higher than $2 from like 5pm to 7 and then 12am to 5am.
Snow helps. I did 8$ peak on Sunday
But I’m in a college town outside of Philly. Prime location I usually make 150+ in 6 hours or so. It really is all about location and being selective with your accepts
That's crazy!! I can barely make $30 in 5hrs in NV 😩
$4 peak pay today for Super Bowl in Socal 😎
Damn San Diego is where it's at. My towns avg is $6.50 per order.
IHOP In mornings r pretty good here in Freeport, NY
Nice, knowing where demand shifts during different times/days is smart
whenever i have to go through the drive thru, i just cut the line by skipping the speaker all together. majority of the time, they don't say anything about the fact that i didn't pull through the speaker, they usually just give me a total thinking i was the next order in line & i just tell them that i have a door dash for so & so & then they just get it for me. occasionally, it's rare, but occasionally they will have an issue with me skipping the speaker & i just tell them that the last time that i came to this restaurant, they just told me to pull through to the window & then it ends up being fine & they let it go.
I just spent 30 minutes in a damn taco bell drive through that was drive through only, they were slower than Forest Gump. DD gave me a 2nd order across the street from it, that bailed me out. Both customers were happy, my on time or early and completion rates are still 100%. Communication with DD and customer is very important. I sure was pissed off for a good 28 of those 30+ minutes though.
The only time we ever even get peak pay is sometimes from midnight-2am, but everything is closed at that time 😂
I once saw a 8 dollar peek pay!! Crazy
Yes I did a order for 21 dollars for 11 miles I thought was ok 😂 but 21 for less than 5 miles is awesome 😎
itz cool to get grocery orders on doordash, rare in my areas but great for tips cause people tip % of the total they spent
i wonder how many areas get those kind of orders?
I haven't really seen grocery orders on DoorDash, in my opinion I think Instacart and Shipt are dominating that market here
In San Jose, CA there are many Walmart grocery orders
In kck the customers that get groceries really don't tip...not nothing
Also I need some traunning on how to use the app
Hi Patrice, for the very best training visit www.yourdrivermike.com/delivery
If the drive through isn’t isolated by a curb, I just cut in the drive through line straight to the window bc you’re not placing an order anyways so you don’t need to talk to the speaker box
I've thought about doing that but the thought of possibly upsetting everyone else in line especially if my order isn't ready is a concern
Elise D keep in mind that the restaurant rates drivers as well, so you just want to keep as much confusion down as possible. Don't want to upset anyone. It's not a bad idea, but it's a chance you are taking.
