Sometimes I take ones like this just because I want to take a drive and I am looking to make a lot of money per hour without having to do much thinking
Easy accept. Could have a hidden tip on it too. Passes the 2 big tests $/time and $/mile, if it moves me out of a Doordash zone I would try to start a dash in the new zone so I would have all 3 apps running after the delivery and hopefully cut down any dead miles. These types of orders show the importance of learning the other zones in your market so you can accept offers like this and not miss a beat if it takes you to another zone.
Usually goin to the restaurant is like an easy 4.5 miles then the 9 is going to the house. And usually it sometimes takes you back the way you need to go and even so accept orders when you go that way. I had a 12 that took me 6 miles to the restaurant and like 3 streets over from my house. I was so happy. I love driving for Uber Eats.
I got so freaking lucky last night, got an order that was 11 miles and $37.45. Turns out it was way out in a rural area but it was so worth it since it was only about a 15 min delivery and I got another good one on the way back!
Here’s what would go in my mind in this order: 1.) Are these highway miles? If yes then I’d gauge if there was no traffic there and back, that would check one box 2.) Is it a slow day? If the answer is yes, that would check another box 3.) Is it possible when picking up this order that Uber would stack it with another order for $5 in the same direction which would give you the gas money … that would be another check 4.) Is it possible to pick up another order on the way back? That would be another check 5.) Is there something that you could do there ( cheap gas, shopping, grocery, specialty store, meet a friend, etc. ) … That would also be a check 4/5 - hard yes 3/5 - soft yes 2/5 - yes but only if point 1 is yes and either point 2 or point 3 is yes.
Yes take it, both times I’ve had orders like that they’ve had huge hidden tips. Took a $26 for 7 miles it took me 30 minutes and I ended up getting $50 from it and made $40 an hour that day.
I'd accept. My experience is anything this far outside your radius I always get nicely tipped. I remember doing a $26 order for 12 miles recently, and they tipped me another $13.
@@JamesWilson-sb9iq Worst case scenario it's $22.46 but also it could have a hidden tip and be higher. I don't get why anyone wouldn't accept that, they must not like making money.
@@RickyMoss people are afraid they would take the tip away but that would 22-23.00 worse case and there could be a hidden tip. It’s very rare to lose a tip
@@entertainingblackmanvideos7691I agree, I wouldn’t accept this. You could do 3 $10-$15 orders and make about the same or even more with less miles and still be in your area

I did one last night that was $21 for a package delivery from Glendale Az to Gilbert Az about 30 minutes. My tip was $16.00. I’m glad I did so as it was an African woman who had cooked a meal for an African man that was staying at a hotel. I understood the desire and the need once it was all said and done and I’m happy about my decision. You never know what someone is going through. Our job is bigger than just making deliveries. I pride myself on accepting everything even the small $2 offers.
I don't have enough information to say "accept" or "decline." Once I complete the order in Rocky Point, do I have any realistic prospect of securing another order or will I need to drive 10+ M back into my zone? If the latter is true, it's an easy "decline."
I would accept that offer it's a lot of miles for one trip but that's great for an Uber offer and the payout may potentially be higher normally on those big offers the payout is often higher when the tip comes in.. Sunday I had an UberEats offer that was $17 for 5 miles after the tip came in it ended up being $21
Accept!!! Had a run almost the same, earned $49, & completed; took next run 25 mins FURTHER away (guy stranded in the snow kept getting cancelled) but lives in my home zone: earned $103 on that run. 49 + 103 = $152, 1.5 hours and good karma. Accept!
$30 for 30 mins is an easy yes in my area. Even with the long drive back, I could easily knockout 2 more orders at $5 or $6, maybe $7 or $8. That's a GOOD hour's pay in my book!
Id accept, even if I’m busy with a couple of other orders already. I’d also text them and let them know what’s going on. “Hey there, Sam with [insert whatever service they used] here! I’ve gotta drop off another customer’s order real quick, and then I’ll be heading your way 👍 thank you for your patience 🙏 see you soon!” is a generic text I send to almost every customer when I have multiple orders to deliver. I’ve found that communication is a great way to ensure customer’s won’t leave a bad rating, or take away tips if they’re using UberEats.
Right and that’s the problem with most of them. I’m not going all out my way for that. Waiting for them to give you the code. Then you get the code it’s a big ass gate. Then you go through that you looking like where the crib! Nope it’s a little further down the road. Oh look it’s a mansion. Like if you don’t get your rich a•• up and pick that shit up yourself.
def feel you on that but a $30 dollar one is worth it for me. Still gonna clear $20 an hour even if you come straight back to the hot zone...I do hate those rides where you getting like $5.50 for Taco Bell and you gotta read a paragraph of directions on how to drive/walk through an entire hotel or apt complex to drop it right at their doorstep @@deelee6080
Bro if you didn’t accept that! I just got a offer on Uber eats. No joke 18 Walmart orders estimate time 240 minutes. For $15.79 not even the minimum pay. What the Fu*%
bro those walmarts joints are a joke. They should be banned from offering such lowball trips. Then the customers want you to bring it to their doorstep on the 7th floor after taking the east elevators in the north wing...foh with that shit
It depends if its at the end of my shift. Definitely worth it. Say you at $70 and you worked hard to get it and you need $30 to hit a $100. That's a good come up. Especially if you at a tight spot in getting an order. I won't take it if I'm starting my day cuz it's to far..
Decline because you have to double the miles to get back to your zone, so its basically only a $1 per mile. They try and entice you with the $30.46... I say DECLINE....
so what, i drive 20 mins every time i go out just to get in a good zone that tips well. The margin i make rather than staying in my area make sup for it. Same thing here, take to 30 bucks and come back the zone you like and youre still making 30 that hour
Look at the map lol 7 miles to the restaurant and 7 miles back. He's sitting near the customers house. Payouts like this you have to be weary of though because it probably got stolen and that's why the pay is so high. I would call the restaurant to confirm they have the order before I started driving
right? I mean you go into Ubering knowing youre using your car as the primary source to make money , but youre gonna turn down 30 bucks an hour cuz you gotta DRIVE 20-30 miles? Bananas@@genxchas
I would gladly accept that order, Southern states rarely get orders above $20. It's even more rare to see orders in the $20 rsnge, so to see a $30 order, I would definitely take it. To see one for $30 and mile less than pay, that's a good offer. I would take it, it adds up quick with the other orders' pay. 14 mile x $2 per mile ( to customer's location and back to hot zone).
I accepted a $25 order one time, haven't seen any orders close to that amount since and when I arrived to restaurant they were already closed. Was not a happy camper and deeply disappointed, driving all that way for nothing.
feel you, one f'd up trip can set your whole shift back. I get pretty annoyed when for example a Starbucks is serving every customer their coffee immediately but sitting on the Ubers for 15 minutes which turns my 25 minute trip into a 40 minute trip. Chic Fil A the other night waits 20 minutes to tell me the one item the customer ordered isnt available even after I had watched everyone else get their shit and asked them about the order 3 times. ANd it was only a $5 trip . Half hour wasted for nothing. Cancelled and went home pissed off.
of course accept..on the way back take another one that is $10 or more..and that will put you at $40 plus an hour! a lot of people who work a regular 9-5 makes less than $20/hr..
Or cancel as your pulling up to the restaurant. Happened to me on a few occasions, or the restaurant was out of the main dish. Too many problems with UE and long deliveries.
Cause it took too long and food is cold 😂 or in my case the order gets cancelled as I’m pulling into the parking lot 😅 “No soup for you!” Soup Kitchen Nazi 😂
Consider how far you have to drive after completing the order whether or not you have another order. If the destination is not close to home or another potential order, maybe not.
Hell yeah because almost every time I take an order like that. There is a huge hidden tip and if not you still made good money. Plus you have a high chance of getting a stack and also GH at destination or a couple DDs along the way.
I've been getting orders like that for $6-14 I decline. That is worth it. That's a little more than $2 a mile and I get to go to a street called Huckleberry.
Accept. $2 per mile and even if it takes you away from your zone it still covers the drive to the next group of restaurants. EDIT: I didn't realize this short was a year old. My bad.
I'm taking that all day cuz i also find people to drive around as well, plus the zones i have in my area are pretty connected, this is a no brainer for ME
Depends, will it take you way out of the way of any busy areas? You will be hard pressed to find a way to get a delivery or deliveries getting you back to your zone. You’ll more than likely have to drive 14 empty miles (30 minutes back)
I take into account that I would have to travel back to my initial zone after completing this order so making this a nearly 30 mile long trip. To counter that if I’m door-dashing, I select my start area where I received the order and select the option to dash along that way. This way I’m making money while reaching closer and closer back to my area.
If I need to go that way or have a reason because sometimes it just drops you in a dead zone or somewhere you don’t want to be and Uber eats keeps pushing you further away with the next offers
It depends on what area it’s going, because sometimes people in certain areas in my market tip bait and have identified where they are and try to avoid those areas because they do it frequently
Most times you'll catch another order out that way coming back to your zone, but u have to be mindful that order might not come in . Taking a chance cuz u then gotta drive back to your zone
Takin it..after becoming an Owner Op CDL trucker under my Own MC Authority- we are getting less than .49 per mile plus all the over head by the time we book a load. If you all applied a logistics mindset to this app game- you'd make more bank. Miles are miles at the end of the day & you all are still motor carriers in that you are transporting "freight" regardless of being called "couriers" instead of "carriers".. respect 💯
I'd have questions. 1) Is it a holiday? CB is a mess on holidays. 2) can I start back up near my drop off? And is it a good area to do so? Truthfully I'd decline because of tip baiters. On dd I'd probably scoop it up though
As a newbie, I was trying not to turn down too many orders. I accepted 2 orders that was $14, and almost an hour away. Neither one of the customers tipped. I hope both of them had bubble guts all night. This food delivery ain’t about shit. The pay is like they think I’m a damn crackhead.
I live in Wilmington lol. Depending on time of day and how long cracker barrel takes, that's a 45min-1hr long deliver with the return trip (because you're unlikely to get another delivery until you get back into town). I spend around 18-20 cents/mile on gas so that's around $6 on gas, though they're mostly highway miles so should be a bit lower. Call it a $25 delivery in an hour (plus the likelyhood of them tipping more on top because people that tip high initially tend to increase it afterwards) and matching my goal of at least $1 per mile (earned not profited) that I put on my car throughout the entire shift. I'd be taking this 98% of the time. It'd have to be super busy and profitable for me not to take this order and even then...I'd still probably take it.
If it’s in the direction that you’re already go ahead and take it, and make sure that you get another order on the way to back to the area you want to be at, regardless, to that direction it is, north south east or west. Then, after that, continue to repeat the process, until you’re done driving for the day.👍
It truly depends on the restaurant and the location it's getting dropped off to, If the location is a food desert then no, if not then I'll bite my tongue and take offers that may get me back to my zone.
I rarely get orders that pay me $30 dollars but have a few times and I do mean a few so would I take that order hell to the yeah because you don't know when you'd get that kind of payout again.
Hypothetically,....$30.46 with and hour.....most people make less the $30 an hours working hard lador...if you could some how get 2 rides like this within your area per hour...it's about $61 you would make per hour.... 40 hours in a week would put you at about $2400 a week and $9,600 a month...that winning if you ask me.💯
To me it would depend on if there is any potential of a return trip . Acceptable rate of its highway but sidestreets will cost you in gas. I say take it... what did you do????
Every single day doesn’t have to be about the hard non stop grind. Today I ended out 30-40 minutes from home in a lovely mountain forest town. After the job, logged off, bought some potato cakes and had a lovely relaxing break away from it all. Just the little outing I needed. Sometimes, sure not all the time, we need to remember not to forget what life’s about outside of the rat race ❤
Accept ! The distance back will be good to get your avarage mpg up by not having short distance stop and go city traffic utilizing less fuel overall inthe long haul at least in my vehicle that is what I have discovered so once in a while it’s okay to take a good order that will take you out of the zone for 30 minutes bc it helps keep my milage up from dropping down to 15 in the city congestion I get about 28/33 highway and only 13/15 city so if I’m careful and plan correctly by throwing some occasional orders like this into my acceptance mix I end up tooling around the city at a solid 22-26 mpg depending on AC usage light cycles speed limits stop and go demands en route ect all factor what my avarage mpg is when I fill up. I can usually spend 10-20 dollars day on fuel and go home with 100 dollars profit pretty frequently and easily
Id take it only if it was the beginning of my shift because I know theres gonna be some time that I have to drive back with no pay. Odds are its in the middle of nowhere 😂
Realistically if it’s a total of 28 miles… depending on your car that’s little over 1 gallon of gas… so after gas which is average 3-4 a gallon you made off with about $26 for that order 🔥
I would! True that you have to come back but chances of getting orders on the way back are possible. I don’t mind driving and get good gas mileage so yeah!
Last Saturday I got lucky I took a trip like that red lobster and got an $25 tip on top no bull sometimes it works out take chances you'll never know what could come out of it
Idk where rocky point is but it sounds like a nice drive that won't make you much money and probably put you off the clock to go for a quick hike, take some photos. Money wise, it's a wash. Might as well. Not sure why this pays better than southern California where I'm fairly certain the cost of living is higher
Not accepting unless I have to go in that area. 10 miles in the limit don’t really care to much about the money but I feel like if I’m going to a place and have a chance to get someone food so they can eat, I would do it whole heartedly.
I'm trying to hit accept right now on your screen 😂

Yup thats a go for me and often they tip even more after
These are good trips to rest your legs and listen to your music more.
You must be my long lost twin. My thoughts exactly.
Big facts 💯
Take it because if you complete it in that 30 min time frame and get a decent order right after that, you’re well above $30hr for that hour.
And if you don’t get one for a bit, you’re not freaking as bad!
yeah even if you have to double back to the hot spots its only gona be like 45-50 mins. Ill take 30 bucks and hour all day

I get pretty annoyed when for example a Starbucks is serving every customer their coffee immediately but sitting on the Ubers for 15 minutes which turns my 25 minute trip into a 40 minute trip. Chic Fil A the other night waits 20 minutes to tell me the one item the customer ordered isnt available even after I had watched everyone else get their shit and asked them about the order 3 times. ANd it was only a $5 trip . Half hour wasted for nothing. Cancelled and went home pissed off.
of course accept..on the way back take another one that is $10 or more..and that will put you at $40 plus an hour! a lot of people who work a regular 9-5 makes less than $20/hr..
dont take it, its not a guaranteed $, what if they tip bait?
Or cancel as your pulling up to the restaurant. Happened to me on a few occasions, or the restaurant was out of the main dish. Too many problems with UE and long deliveries.
I just took and came back already! Got paid ‘
depends on traffic and if i was tired. Usually get crazy good orders towards, when its time me to head home.
Same. I’m tired, going back home and declining $25 orders going 7 miles like “Where were these when I was fresh and In hustle mode 😢”
yes sure do it ,and they will reduce the tip after drop off
Cause it took too long and food is cold 😂 or in my case the order gets cancelled as I’m pulling into the parking lot 😅 “No soup for you!” Soup Kitchen Nazi 😂
Im accepting it!!!
Accept. Then do deliveries where you are. End up back home later!
In this case you double the mileage and time estimate since you're driving into the sticks. If it's still good, take it
Consider how far you have to drive after completing the order whether or not you have another order. If the destination is not close to home or another potential order, maybe not.
i’d take it, like there will be more orders around the customer’s house, ssooooo.. ,-, xD
Hell yeah because almost every time I take an order like that. There is a huge hidden tip and if not you still made good money. Plus you have a high chance of getting a stack and also GH at destination or a couple DDs along the way.
20 years ago that was almost a 8 hour shift pay 😂😂😂😂😂
I've been getting orders like that for $6-14 I decline. That is worth it. That's a little more than $2 a mile and I get to go to a street called Huckleberry.
Accept. $2 per mile and even if it takes you away from your zone it still covers the drive to the next group of restaurants. EDIT: I didn't realize this short was a year old. My bad.
I'm taking that all day cuz i also find people to drive around as well, plus the zones i have in my area are pretty connected, this is a no brainer for ME
Depends, will it take you way out of the way of any busy areas? You will be hard pressed to find a way to get a delivery or deliveries getting you back to your zone. You’ll more than likely have to drive 14 empty miles (30 minutes back)
Of course, take it. That's like $61 per hour.
I take into account that I would have to travel back to my initial zone after completing this order so making this a nearly 30 mile long trip. To counter that if I’m door-dashing, I select my start area where I received the order and select the option to dash along that way. This way I’m making money while reaching closer and closer back to my area.
Decline because cold food means tip baiting 🎉
If I need to go that way or have a reason because sometimes it just drops you in a dead zone or somewhere you don’t want to be and Uber eats keeps pushing you further away with the next offers
It depends on what area it’s going, because sometimes people in certain areas in my market tip bait and have identified where they are and try to avoid those areas because they do it frequently
if it drops u in a good busy area, yes for sure. gotta be careful if u end up in a non-busy rural area
Even if it takes another 30 minutes to get back into your zone that's still 30 dollars an hour
Most times you'll catch another order out that way coming back to your zone, but u have to be mindful that order might not come in . Taking a chance cuz u then gotta drive back to your zone
Decline. It “was already picked up” or someone failed to cancel it in the system.
Unless you want the $3 that will barely cover gas.
Takin it..after becoming an Owner Op CDL trucker under my Own MC Authority- we are getting less than .49 per mile plus all the over head by the time we book a load. If you all applied a logistics mindset to this app game- you'd make more bank. Miles are miles at the end of the day & you all are still motor carriers in that you are transporting "freight" regardless of being called "couriers" instead of "carriers".. respect 💯
I'm definitely taking that order, no question.
Decline 14 miles of non pay time to get back to zone
By the screenshot that's clearly an Ubereats offer though..no zone
Aye! I live in Wilmington! I do Uber eats & insta cart on top of a fulltime 3rd shift job lol
I'd have questions. 1) Is it a holiday? CB is a mess on holidays. 2) can I start back up near my drop off? And is it a good area to do so?
Truthfully I'd decline because of tip baiters. On dd I'd probably scoop it up though
I accept these all the time because anything above 27 a hour is good and you probably gonna get another order on the way back
^
As a newbie, I was trying not to turn down too many orders. I accepted 2 orders that was $14, and almost an hour away. Neither one of the customers tipped. I hope both of them had bubble guts all night. This food delivery ain’t about shit. The pay is like they think I’m a damn crackhead.
I picked up an order and I was unable to click on the delivery button 😭 so I had to cancel
I live in Wilmington lol. Depending on time of day and how long cracker barrel takes, that's a 45min-1hr long deliver with the return trip (because you're unlikely to get another delivery until you get back into town). I spend around 18-20 cents/mile on gas so that's around $6 on gas, though they're mostly highway miles so should be a bit lower. Call it a $25 delivery in an hour (plus the likelyhood of them tipping more on top because people that tip high initially tend to increase it afterwards) and matching my goal of at least $1 per mile (earned not profited) that I put on my car throughout the entire shift. I'd be taking this 98% of the time. It'd have to be super busy and profitable for me not to take this order and even then...I'd still probably take it.
If it’s in the direction that you’re already go ahead and take it, and make sure that you get another order on the way to back to the area you want to be at, regardless, to that direction it is, north south east or west.
Then, after that, continue to repeat the process, until you’re done driving for the day.👍
Decline, by then you can get two deliveries or three for that price
depends on time of day. At my local cracker barrel you could literally be waiting 30 minutes just for them to bring the order out.
I would if I know there is a nearby hotspot in hopes to catch an order back. It’s $2.13 dlls/mile so its a yes
My gas tank don’t need fill just yet but it’s getting there … yes I’m takin that 1/2 is for gas and I’m good on the rest of the week for gas
It truly depends on the restaurant and the location it's getting dropped off to, If the location is a food desert then no, if not then I'll bite my tongue and take offers that may get me back to my zone.
I rarely get orders that pay me $30 dollars but have a few times and I do mean a few so would I take that order hell to the yeah because you don't know when you'd get that kind of payout again.
Depends1:00pm. If it’s a week day, lunch is about to wind down; so may as well.
Hypothetically,....$30.46 with and hour.....most people make less the $30 an hours working hard lador...if you could some how get 2 rides like this within your area per hour...it's about $61 you would make per hour.... 40 hours in a week would put you at about $2400 a week and $9,600 a month...that winning if you ask me.💯
To me it would depend on if there is any potential of a return trip . Acceptable rate of its highway but sidestreets will cost you in gas. I say take it... what did you do????
Take it
Honestly depends on how traffic is in the area, if its like LA traffic where 15 miles could take forever probably not.
Every single day doesn’t have to be about the hard non stop grind. Today I ended out 30-40 minutes from home in a lovely mountain forest town. After the job, logged off, bought some potato cakes and had a lovely relaxing break away from it all.
Just the little outing I needed.
Sometimes, sure not all the time, we need to remember not to forget what life’s about outside of the rat race ❤
I live in Central Chicago if I see that , I am still in Chicago at the end if the order so I get another order when I am finished
Accept ! The distance back will be good to get your avarage mpg up by not having short distance stop and go city traffic utilizing less fuel overall inthe long haul at least in my vehicle that is what I have discovered so once in a while it’s okay to take a good order that will take you out of the zone for 30 minutes bc it helps keep my milage up from dropping down to 15 in the city congestion I get about 28/33 highway and only 13/15 city so if I’m careful and plan correctly by throwing some occasional orders like this into my acceptance mix I end up tooling around the city at a solid 22-26 mpg depending on AC usage light cycles speed limits stop and go demands en route ect all factor what my avarage mpg is when I fill up. I can usually spend 10-20 dollars day on fuel and go home with 100 dollars profit pretty frequently and easily
Id take it only if it was the beginning of my shift because I know theres gonna be some time that I have to drive back with no pay. Odds are its in the middle of nowhere 😂
Realistically if it’s a total of 28 miles… depending on your car that’s little over 1 gallon of gas… so after gas which is average 3-4 a gallon you made off with about $26 for that order 🔥
exactly what i keep saying, agreed. If ppl worried about wear and tear on their car, turning down $25 an hr, this is prob not the side hustle for them
I would! True that you have to come back but chances of getting orders on the way back are possible. I don’t mind driving and get good gas mileage so yeah!
Bigger question: As our mentor, what would you do?
One month later still no response to your question
Last Saturday I got lucky I took a trip like that red lobster and got an $25 tip on top no bull sometimes it works out take chances you'll never know what could come out of it
Depends on the area it takes me to. If it’s an area I know I’ll get more orders at; yes. If I have to drive back to a busier area; no.
Idk where rocky point is but it sounds like a nice drive that won't make you much money and probably put you off the clock to go for a quick hike, take some photos. Money wise, it's a wash. Might as well. Not sure why this pays better than southern California where I'm fairly certain the cost of living is higher
Not accepting unless I have to go in that area. 10 miles in the limit don’t really care to much about the money but I feel like if I’m going to a place and have a chance to get someone food so they can eat, I would do it whole heartedly.
Nah, I can make that in 1 trip or 2 trips in my market (Beverly Hills) dinner time for sure
