I've driven for about 3 months now. But a couple weeks ago I stopped getting my $10 an hour. Only getting paid tips to my Dasher direct account. Very hard to get customer service to do anything.
My daughter averages $120-200 per day any day of the week. She does this by accepting all of them while she is dashing. She doesn’t pick and choose like others say they do because she figures being a delivery driver is not different really than any other job. The employer is NOT paying you for wear and tear on your vehicle. It is your responsibility so DoorDashing is no different. As for her time logged in the app she can reach $120 within 3 to 4 hrs Thursday thru Saturday and sometimes other days of the week especially if it is the first week of the month. Other times she will need to be out 6-8 hrs per day. Her bring home weekly is $650-$800 per week depending upon how many days she works during the week. She has 100% acceptance, 100% completion a 4.89 rating(because some people will only give 1 star no matter how quickly you get their order to them or how much you do for them). With over 2000 deliveries to date. And this is done in South Carolina of all places! I would like to add that she did this well in Louisville Kentucky when we lived there as well.
I want to help your daughter. I know I won't be listened to, but I figured I should at least try. Your daughter is NOT an employee. I make $25 to $30 an hour, sometimes $40 to $50, but that doesn't happen often. I NEVER need 6-8 hours to make $120. This is because door dash is NOT my employer and this is NOT charity work. I only accept trips that pay me for my time, mileage, and fuel. According to your info, your daughter sometimes makes what I make and other times can make as low as $15 an hour. I have a 4.97 rating because I only get 5 stars and the occasional 4 star from a customer that has no idea that a 4.3 is deactivation. They would be horrified if they knew they were giving me a rating that = deactivate. I have this because I don't take no tip orders. No tip to low tip order people often get their food cold. They are angry people because they set themselves up. If you don't deliver to these people, you don't get bad ratings. I've only ever gotten 4 stars 3 times (IIRC), all other ratings have been 5 stars. If your daughter still wants to be an employee making $15 an hour (REMINDER... this is PRE - expenses. She has to fork over a portion of that to vehicle maintenance and fuel.) If your daughter still wants to be an employee explain it this way. Imagine you do yard work. For whatever reason, you don't set your prices. You get your jobs from a third party app where the customer tells you how much they will pay you. Does it make sense to take every job, even if the customer wants to pay you $4 an hour? Taking every contract sent your way means you are often doing contracts that only pay $4 per hour. This means that although you get contracts that pay $30 an hour, those $4 an hour jobs will shrink your profits to $20 an hour. There is ZERO reason to accept a bad contract that doesn't pay what YOU ARE WORTH. There is even less reason to accept a contract that is literally losing you money because the trip costs more than you are being paid. I really suggest you trying to talk some sense into your daughter. You don't want people exploiting her do you? She isn't an employee and the business isn't setup to treat her like an employee. She gets no benefits and ALL... EVERY SINGLE COST is put on her, not doordash. This is why doordash will let customers pay $5 for a 10 mile (20 round trip) order. They aren't eating the costs, the driver is. Door dash would charge them $25a to $30 if they had to pay an employee and eat the costs. It's basic business practices. $15 an hour minus expenses is not good. Depending on state, you can go sit at mcdonalds and have ZERO... ABSOLUTELY ZERO costs to make your money. THEN you can do doordash as a side ONLY on thu/fri/sat to make your $25 - $40 per hour. I'm not trying to insult anyone or be mean. I'm simply trying to bring your daughter back to reality. She is not an employee and she will not be treated like one. Her mind set is not healthy for this kind of side hustle. I literally put in 1/2 the effort and make just as much as her. It's because I work smart, not like an employee.
I make more than every so called expert with 100% acceptance rate. As of now I do have a 5 star rating, I do have 100% completion and I’m only on time 90%. I only work the from 6-10, so 4 hours per day and I average 200-250 within that time. My big tip, location is a huge factor. I’m in the metro area of a liberal city. With a college and minimal restaurants. Nothing crazy that will bring me out of zone. My lowest offers are 8 bucks to drive a couple blocks. The people are super conservative in the pocket I’m delivering too so they appreciate friendliness. I’ve been tipped 5-15 after delivery just by going above for them. I’m super nice to staff so even if they make me late, I smile, thank them and I tell them “good work” or I find something to compliment them about. Now, if they see me walk through the door, they rush my orders because in the guy that brightens their day. A lot of people actually just know me as the media guy from the college. So there actually surprised to see me door dashing. If I didn’t do it my i have a respectable income but making extra, means I make over 100k a year and I also have my freelance work that brings in 2k-10k per project. So yes door dash is awesome and having a good mentality and trustworthy attitude will get you far.
@tennastone270 ~ good on your daughter! She sounds like she has a great work ethic! Thank you for sharing her story.... it gives me hope for when I start!
I make $100 in 3 hours everyday by delivering on a Vespa in L.A. only way to go! Avg. $35 hour. If you deliver in a big city investing in a scooter is a must.
I have to say I’m great full for doordash. I was laid off and I can go out and make 150 bucks. It’s about mindset. I just pretend I’m a nyc taxi driver and simply not go home until you have done what you need to do. Sure it’s uncomfortable and sure we all wanna be in the house but it can be done.
Been doing DD for a few weeks to see what its like. So, I accept every order I get. Worst has been $4.50 no tip. I need to stay busy or I actually fall asleep. So accepting everything from 8:30- 2:30 Usually gets me $100 for 6 hours. Thats been my experience. Having a 90+% acceptance means DD keeps giving me orders. But like I said. Having ADHD means I need to be moving.
@@YourDriverMike Yea. Uber Eats (just started shopping), Roadie (cause I have a truck) and DoorDash. Shipt wants me to finish my application, so maybe do that sometime. Got my first $2.50 today. Took it just because it was under 1 mile - roundtrip.
I’m at 83% AR from 47% AR and I found it definitely increased the quality of the orders I get. Unfortunately, the only app available in my area is DoorDash so I can’t multi app. Sometimes I make $25 an hour. Sometimes I make $8.
And that’s the reality . Unfortunately you are correct on earnings because I do it in Brooklyn NYC and app have glitches people don’t tip no matter how good your service is 80% off delivery don’t tip compared to other parts of NY they do tip 98% of the time been doing it for 2 months now just to get some extra money and it’s totally BS that you can make it 100$ in car in 4 hours in nyc
I have 5000 dashes in just over a year..I don't remember ever making a 100 in 4 hours..my goal is 114 a day so I take home 800 a week ...I drive 125 to 175 miles a day...I'll work 6 to 8 hours every day..I do not take orders under 7 bucks..peak pay before 11:30 pm is fantasy..Winston-Salem
I love dashing Friday and Saturday night especially when it gets late like 12am. I have a heavy foot so I get my orders there quick and don't have to deal with very much traffic. Easily make at least $150 as at that time usually good peak pay. My record for one day was over $400 but almost all day it was at least $4.00 peak pay. Also I always communicate with my customers and I am just a sweet girl in general and it shows
@Luv pink hard to see the address in some houses.. but if you really can't tell just call the customer and either they come out or they'll tell you the color of the house or what type of car is parked outside or something
@@trishelliott2401 Try it! Yesterday was my first day. I did 6 orders $105 in 3hrs. I was so nervous but after my first two I calmed down lol 😂. I actually received an extra $15 tip once I finished and was home eating dinner. My last two deliveries were in the dark and I was a little nervous. I’ve learned to zoom in on the map so I clearly see which house I’m looking for. I ALWAYS gave each customer a text updating them along the way. I always send a thank you text after my tip too. The order I received extra on had already given me a $14!
ATTENTION ALL DELIVERY DRIVERS. Just to let you know . All the delivery apps every time you decline an order you get punish. Meaning you are put on hold and that is the reason why it takes too long to get another offer to deliver and your acceptance rate drops like a meteor .
@@yourfriendlyneighborhoodic128 You will get Lousy 3 or 4 dollars runs or perhaps a 6.75 run which involves at least 5 miles one way trip but then it will take you out of your delivery zone.? is that the ones you are talking about? I have videos and screenshots to back up my comments. again not all markets are the same, my comment was aim to my market area. I am a long time gig worker from Uber to Groceries deliveries. I am not a new comer in this type of business.
I just did one order today during a promotional period that ended up being 12 miles round trip, and $8 for the delivery and wasn't even paid the promo. And the delivery took 40 minutes.
Anything outside zone should be mandatory $10 plus the regular pay added,most places don't have restaurants everywhere,just joyride back,also the money should go up, further out you have to drive, people will still purchase,because they are lazy,want drive them miles themselves
I made about $100 today on Door Dash accepting all orders and worked almost ten hours in and near Tampa, Florida. I barely got tips. My total for tips today was $13. I hope the tips from this video helps.
my advice to you is not to do that and be selective what to take, if you’re in tampa you should easily make that a lot within 5 hours or so depending on the times and day. 3 quarters of my income through doordash are from customer tips and $2-$3 orders are too cheap for my blood regardless of the distance and how slow it is and that’s the beauty of these apps is having the privilege to pick and choose what you wanna take
I have over 2k deliveries with a 4.95 customer rating and 89% acceptance rate. Last night was my first time dashing since last October because I work retail and the holiday season is so busy that I had no time. When I logged I'm, it said "you have top priority for best deliveries" I got 3 deliveries and made $40 in an hour which is a record so maybe this new update is legit?? I'll find out this weekend✌️
I drove 52 miles today, about 20 of which was dead miles driving from home to a red zone or from a delivery way out of zone back home. I made a whopping $22.75 in 3 hours. Not sure the Lehigh acres/east firt Myers market is worth doing. By my math I lost money based on mileage and wear and tear, gas, etc. I only made 43 cents per mile.
Thank you for posting this!!! I'm just beginning and so I'm totally green when it comes to these "side hustles", so I have needed good tips and instructions, and you provide that. You earned yourself a subscriber!
Its been really hard to get orders sometimes as a top dasher yet i see others still getting orders. Im shooting for 50 a day tops and it usually takes 2-3 hours in total (less then 2 hours active time)
Thanks Mike! 👍🏻 I signed up with nearly ALL the food/grocery apps last week and I’m on waiting lists with all of them. ☹️ argh 😤 HOPEFULLY one of them activates me soon 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Concentrate on the tips. The strategies you develop and put to use. This is a topic on its own, the psychology of the tip. . In my opinion your best friend to the 100 per day. Enjoying your vids, great job!!!
I appreciate that, only tricky thing with tips is the contactless nature of what 95% of them now versus having some facetime with the customer. Still doable but I think market demographics comes into play more
I was able to do 100-180, 200 a day over 2 years ago, but dd has been slow & lower base pay so I'm struggle n now to make $100 and this is for a week!☹️
not where I am. two to three hot zones 6 miles apart, that hit $3 max, and the hot zone is like half a mile across. and those hot zones don't always light up. it's a struggle to make $80 a day at 8 hours a day here. Unless you want to drive 15 miles for 10 miles. Then you might get $90
@Pam Benachour I started doing earn by time (notice the algorithm favors earn by time)... because of my towns layout, there is a small chance of a super high milage order... but my income has been cut in half from this time last year... luckily, this is a second income, I can't imagine being a full income...
@Pam Benachour hi! I’m looking into it and after reading your comment. Is it possible to dash for only 2hrs a day? If I wanted to do this in between jobs?
Great video. That time earnings mode thing isn't available for me. Is that something that you need to reach a certain number of deliveries before you get that option? From their site it looks like it's a temporary pilot. I started dashing last week to fill in a slow period for my remodeling business. I think you could easily make $100/ day in 3.5 - 5 hours even when not on peak bonus times. You are going to just have to stick it out for the week because some days it's comes easy and you make more than $120 in 4 hours and other days you make $85 in 4 hours. In the end it all averages out and if your goal for the week is $500, you may have to work an extra hour or two on an evening or Saturday breakfast to make it. It's fun all in all. I love doing it.
Door dashing is basically like a server working for a restaurant a server relies on their service to make the best tips. Doordash gives you a base pay regardless if it's a consistent $5 or $6 every run they still give you a base pay. So when you break down your weekly you have your tips and in base pay by. In other words you're still working for doordash!
You're still working for doordash but you work for yourself in the sense that you're in control of where you work and what orders you take. Idk what to say about the ppl who think we're employees bc we're not but you get the app and sign up, if you get approved you can start, and it's up to you what orders you take and when you work. I don't think anyone is denying that we're working for doordash.
@@brianawhittaker8152 Yes Brianna they are denying that they aren't working for D.D. They think they're working for themselves which is true but you still have a base pay just like serving. It's irrelevant where you choose to dash or what you choose to accept. The failure of realizing it is on DD drivers. The little tweaks ( hourly pay, or customer cash tips) Inch by inch year by year DD as a company has squeezed their way in to being your employer.
I saw in one day that what you make in DD depends ENTIRELY on location. I'm in a big city and will now drive out to start in Richy McMansion zone to bring them steaks, not a 6pc McNugget to No Tips Central ...
I don’t have the option to do any of the other niche. Amazon flex, Spark, Instacart, Shipt, etc. I just get told I’m on a waitlist for opportunities in my area 😒
Worst order I got was a stacked order and the one order was $2 base pay and a .14 cent tip but the other order was $4 base pay and a $3 tip for less than a mile
I was dashing in the Western NY Buffalo area and getting 22$/hour on average, and most of that wasn't even during peak pay times. I'd imagine at least 25-26$/hr with peak pay.
I've gotten DD orders that were 9 miles for 3.25 in NJ. Idk who would take a order like that maybe if your new and don't know but DD really tries to sneak those in! That's MY Worst order.
Hi 👋 Mike I do Gopuff weekly here in NYC 🗽 now they send me this notification, Starting January 23, delivery partners in your metro will see a new “trip offer” screen, which displays the estimated delivery time, the number of orders included in the trip, and the total earnings before tip. Base pay will be higher for trips that are estimated to take longer. As such, delivery partners at our Flatiron location who make the extra trip to pickup wine and spirits can expect to earn higher base pay to account for the additional time.
I did feel like customers in La Jolla would tip higher on average when I used to drive there but do you think they're ordering as much food delivery versus middle/lower income markets?
Well not always true I have had twenty plus dollar tips from your average families and have had so many pick up requests to million dollar homes with couple dollar tips so not always the case
100 a day is rare in my market as the only time worth dashing is max 4 hours a day and the market is over saturated. There is rarely peak pay here. Doing it about 4 hours a day I’m making around 18 - 22 per hour
Mike, be real. $100/day in MY MARKET ( Louisville, KY ) is near impossible. Before DD lost their partnership with Walmart, I was making $150/day/4 hours. Now 4 hours results in $75 or less. I start at 8-230. DD is 🗑️
And the truth is some markets 100% will not work for DD or even more/many apps. These are really market specific because Miami performs differently than Omaha which is different than Pittsburgh or Louisville. For food delivery I think it's really a balance of how many customers (people USING these apps) do we have vs how many participating restaurants are there. Then just supply/demand from there
You should give tips on driving safely. Like when I’m driving to a zone and I only got 1 minute to decide it’s hard to look at it and see if it makes sense. I don’t like taking my eyes off the road.
Damn, gone are the days of $400, $300, and even $200 a day. Things are getting so bad for the youtubers that they're now settling for just $100 a day. Best way to make poor pay is to listen to the youtubers folks. I stopped taking youtuber advice long ago and do a lot better. Just learn your market folks, only way to make good money is to experiment and learn what works for where you are.
Before I watch this. Work for 4 hours. There, I explained how. Edit: ohhh... that's what you said. I should watch before I comment. Further Edit: o.O this video isn't for me. Cash on delivery. Gambling? No thanks. I want to know what I'm getting paid before I accept the order.
I do not think this was made clear that if you do earn by time, that is ONLY when you are actively on a delivery. It is actually a better program then it seems on the surface, I've tried it a couple times and it helps the night be less stressful and on the couple nights I've done it so far I'm around $22/hr (total, not just active) which is close to what I typically get multi apping. I'll keep testing it a bit longer.
I always do Earn By Time. But I'm in Washington, where the guarantee is $14.50/hr. And I deliver in mid-afternoon because that's when it fits in my day. If I start turning down orders, I just sit because more don't come in. I was averaging $17-18/hr before. I average $21-22/hr now.
So what you are saying is: that when it's slow, I should accept that $4.00 order that is 12.5 miles ? Like the Donut run that I DECLINED yesterday. That would have also included the extra effort of trying to find parking in a crowded shopping center, then walk an undetermined amount of distance to FIND the Krispy Kreme, get the order, then walk all the way back to car which is most likely parked on the farthest parking space in the lot, then drive that 12.5 miles to a known high crime area, all of that for $4.00. then MAYBE I could reach $100/ Day. Oh and not to forget. 98% sure that there will be NO TIP.
I don't understand why people are so much against the per hour pay. I have done both per order, and per hour. I seem to make the same $20 or so an hour either way. The difference is when I do per hour, I'm not racing to complete an order, I just drive nice and normal... You get tips with the hourly orders as well...
Just started DoorDash 3 days ago. It’s Wednesday and I went out dashing for lunch. $41 for 3 and a half hours. 3 orders sent me to the city south of me (20 min away) and one didn’t tip. Really left a sour taste in my mouth.
Mike really apprec ur videos ..keeps me on track ..motivated and focused ..any tips for night delivery.. having a hard time finding customers on campus or poorly lit streets .. thanks ..wish you lots of success 🎾👍
This works for me, but as I'm pykling up near the drop off spot, I turn on my high beams(when no other cars are in view so I'm not hurting anybody) and that really helps me look for the house number
Thanks Jason, so at night I'd use the in-app location pin that's displayed on DD or navigation like Google Maps. If no cars are behind you slow down and roll the windows down (esp if you have tint) to see the house numbers. If cars are behind you try to simply park as close as you can using that pin then go from there. Remember typically it's odd house numbers on one side even on the other so that'll help narrow it down as well
This guy is completely unrealistic with his goals. He forgot to mention about paying taxes, car maintenance, and fuel cost. After all that that's how much you make. I was in Uber driver and after deducting all your expenses, you make somewhere around $10 to $12 an hour. That's keeping it real.
$100 in four hours? That’s a pipe dream where I’m at…if you sit and wait for a double digit pay delivies, you’ll be sitting a long time. The market you drive in is a critical component apparently.
Fortunately, $100. per day or whenever I've dashed or "dash" has been highly doable. It's my minimum goal & usually it exceeds my minimum goal. Thankfully! However, although I use 3 apps at times, I've found that the $100. minimum daily goal has easily been accomplished with the Doordash app. Usually 8 hours max Dash time does the job for me.
@@new1old I have 5000 delivered in just over a year..it takes me 6 to 8 hours to get a 100 bucks...any peak pay before midnight happens about one time a month
Someone ordered $50 worth of food from an expensive seafood place that is a busy plaza that is difficult to park and pick up. I didn't have anything else so I thought I would grab it. I struggled to find a place to park at the busy plaza, and when I finally parked, got the food and delivered it, the tip showed $0.00. They can afford $50 in food, but no tip 🙄
I delivered 5 huge 50lb dog food to 5 different customers today. The expensive science diet bags. They all only gave .50 and $1.00 tips each. Dude had a gate going to his mansion, $100 for 50lb dog food, had to drive 11 miles there and 11 miles back, for a $1 tip. I can't image just tipping $1 for a $10 pizza.
What I don't understand is why don't yall become truck drivers and actually make money. I own my own semi and I'm home every day. I gross around $25k a month and take home around $13k a month. I just don't get it.
@@KidWeird495 it can be a life style. I am home every day though in the Chicago market. There are probably on a few markets that could support it. LA, LONG BEACH, CHICAGO, SAVANNAH
Today started off good, then I got an order that was $3.00 for 7 miles so I declined it. I haven’t got another order for over an hour and counting. I’m a top dasher and that isn’t helping. I’m pretty sure my area is over saturated with drivers. They obviously don’t need me.
I just started last week and it’s like you can make $100 in like 2 days the most your going to make in a day is like 30-40 dollars cause if you keep doing it throughout the day your going to have to fill your gas tank up and most of the money u make will go towards your gas tank most likely
usually how it is, those are the rest days and where people are ordering all throughout the day including breakfast hours and 2-4pm unlike the weekdays and so you can make $200+ those days (and saturdays as well) if you have the patience and self discipline to stay on the app for a while
Depends on where you live. When i lived in charleston i could easily make 200 a day but now where i live im lucky to make 100 in a full day and thats working til night. To many dashers in a small town
Ive only been driving for a week. I have like 9 logged hours and made $150. I still havent received my bag and Red card yet. My area has not had peak pay at all and what are challenges?
We don’t get tips here ( at least I think the app doesn’t ask for a tip, I ordered something the other day & I didn’t see anywhere to leave a tip ) Melbourne Australia
My worst order was in 2020 on Postmates (pre- UE/ Postmates merger), I drove 15 miles for $3.79 & no tip. I was relatively new to food delivery and I was a college student, so I didn't know San Diego as well as I do now. Postmates was AWFUL haha you didn't even know how much you would make until after delivery
Friday I did 1hr before heading to work with 3 orders two where stacked and. 1 was 3 stacked order and made $40 all orders where less than 2 miles away
I drove for doordash and worked twelve hours over three days at peak periods and made $47. 00. Less than four dollars an hour. Only paid for the gas used and had me driving from one side of town to the other. Not worth the effort.
I never see anyone talking about the taxes you have to put away. So if you made 100$ you technically only made 70$ because you have to put 30% away for taxes
When I first started dashing almost 2 years ago. I easily made 100 a day driving after work. Not anymore. There is a lot of competition in my market. And accepting every order isn’t realistic, unless you like burning gas for a $4 9 miles order that takes you out a good zone. So then you have to drive the 9 miles back. How are you making $ with that? But DD offers low pay because there are so many drivers. Put it to you like this, on Friday nights in my area, outside of any restaurant there are over 6 cars sitting there waiting for an order. Yes, just sitting there, because my market is saturated.
The most success you’re gonna have on dash is in the city and some rural areas but the big cities are gonna be what pay the most. I live in Paris Tx and in this city I can on a good day make 40 at 10/hr. If I want to make some real money I have to go an hour west or south to get to where the money is
Just started dashing. Most orders in my area are in the $2 rating, and I average about $8 an hour, which is minimum wage. I have started declining orders of more than 10 miles one way, because it is a waste of gas. Maybe I'll also start the multi-apping you are suggesting.
Get out! Run away! There is no point of you breaking your car fast just for a few dollars. Example, you do this for 6 months. You work 5 days a week. You make 100 a day. Thats 2k a month and 12k in 6 months. Subtract taxes and gas which is about 6k. Now that makes it 1k a month and congrats you just put at least 12k miles in 6 months.
I have been all over the place on percentage and have had high paying orders at 30% and tons of 2-4 dollar order non stop at 70% I have driven to bigger cities nothing changed… A lot of what you mentioned I know but nothing changes?!? Lots of theories and questions!
Great content. I just got on as a dasher but im a little nervous tbh(no idea why lol) anyways its already night time time here so i figure ill start tomorow during the day when everything is visble more and i can can be more accepting of what i see. Im sure this is a good positive move and im trying to learn the most before i start..i am subscribing. Keep up the great content.
its $25/hr for active or utilized hour. The time between requests and for deadheading back to a power strip on a longer distance trip is NOT included!!! Its Fuzzy logic and fuzzy math at best. There is not a real world situation that you don't have lag time between requests as you have to decline a lot of garbage requests to get one that pay enough for you to reach $25/ hr
Huntington West V all the way to Portsmouth Oh SUCKS. Terrible. I’m ready to move back to north Dayton or Cincinnati where it’s between 14-20 an hour 60 percent of the time

I've driven for about 3 months now. But a couple weeks ago I stopped getting my $10 an hour. Only getting paid tips to my Dasher direct account. Very hard to get customer service to do anything.
My daughter averages $120-200 per day any day of the week. She does this by accepting all of them while she is dashing. She doesn’t pick and choose like others say they do because she figures being a delivery driver is not different really than any other job. The employer is NOT paying you for wear and tear on your vehicle. It is your responsibility so DoorDashing is no different. As for her time logged in the app she can reach $120 within 3 to 4 hrs Thursday thru Saturday and sometimes other days of the week especially if it is the first week of the month. Other times she will need to be out 6-8 hrs per day. Her bring home weekly is $650-$800 per week depending upon how many days she works during the week. She has 100% acceptance, 100% completion a 4.89 rating(because some people will only give 1 star no matter how quickly you get their order to them or how much you do for them). With over 2000 deliveries to date. And this is done in South Carolina of all places! I would like to add that she did this well in Louisville Kentucky when we lived there as well.
Real talk
I want to help your daughter. I know I won't be listened to, but I figured I should at least try. Your daughter is NOT an employee.
I make $25 to $30 an hour, sometimes $40 to $50, but that doesn't happen often. I NEVER need 6-8 hours to make $120. This is because door dash is NOT my employer and this is NOT charity work. I only accept trips that pay me for my time, mileage, and fuel. According to your info, your daughter sometimes makes what I make and other times can make as low as $15 an hour.
I have a 4.97 rating because I only get 5 stars and the occasional 4 star from a customer that has no idea that a 4.3 is deactivation. They would be horrified if they knew they were giving me a rating that = deactivate. I have this because I don't take no tip orders. No tip to low tip order people often get their food cold. They are angry people because they set themselves up. If you don't deliver to these people, you don't get bad ratings. I've only ever gotten 4 stars 3 times (IIRC), all other ratings have been 5 stars.
If your daughter still wants to be an employee making $15 an hour (REMINDER... this is PRE - expenses. She has to fork over a portion of that to vehicle maintenance and fuel.) If your daughter still wants to be an employee explain it this way.
Imagine you do yard work. For whatever reason, you don't set your prices. You get your jobs from a third party app where the customer tells you how much they will pay you. Does it make sense to take every job, even if the customer wants to pay you $4 an hour? Taking every contract sent your way means you are often doing contracts that only pay $4 per hour. This means that although you get contracts that pay $30 an hour, those $4 an hour jobs will shrink your profits to $20 an hour. There is ZERO reason to accept a bad contract that doesn't pay what YOU ARE WORTH. There is even less reason to accept a contract that is literally losing you money because the trip costs more than you are being paid.
I really suggest you trying to talk some sense into your daughter. You don't want people exploiting her do you? She isn't an employee and the business isn't setup to treat her like an employee. She gets no benefits and ALL... EVERY SINGLE COST is put on her, not doordash. This is why doordash will let customers pay $5 for a 10 mile (20 round trip) order. They aren't eating the costs, the driver is. Door dash would charge them $25a to $30 if they had to pay an employee and eat the costs. It's basic business practices. $15 an hour minus expenses is not good. Depending on state, you can go sit at mcdonalds and have ZERO... ABSOLUTELY ZERO costs to make your money. THEN you can do doordash as a side ONLY on thu/fri/sat to make your $25 - $40 per hour.
I'm not trying to insult anyone or be mean. I'm simply trying to bring your daughter back to reality. She is not an employee and she will not be treated like one. Her mind set is not healthy for this kind of side hustle. I literally put in 1/2 the effort and make just as much as her. It's because I work smart, not like an employee.
I make more than every so called expert with 100% acceptance rate. As of now I do have a 5 star rating, I do have 100% completion and I’m only on time 90%. I only work the from 6-10, so 4 hours per day and I average 200-250 within that time.
My big tip, location is a huge factor. I’m in the metro area of a liberal city. With a college and minimal restaurants. Nothing crazy that will bring me out of zone. My lowest offers are 8 bucks to drive a couple blocks. The people are super conservative in the pocket I’m delivering too so they appreciate friendliness. I’ve been tipped 5-15 after delivery just by going above for them. I’m super nice to staff so even if they make me late, I smile, thank them and I tell them “good work” or I find something to compliment them about. Now, if they see me walk through the door, they rush my orders because in the guy that brightens their day.
A lot of people actually just know me as the media guy from the college. So there actually surprised to see me door dashing. If I didn’t do it my i have a respectable income but making extra, means I make over 100k a year and I also have my freelance work that brings in 2k-10k per project. So yes door dash is awesome and having a good mentality and trustworthy attitude will get you far.
Tell her stop driving her car.. Hertz let you rent cars for door dash for under $50 a day.. Takes from her profit but no wear & tear on her car..
@tennastone270 ~ good on your daughter! She sounds like she has a great work ethic! Thank you for sharing her story.... it gives me hope for when I start!
Accepting 'cash on delivery' is only setting yourself up to get robbed. It's a big nope for me.
Right they must not of been thinking about this thoroughly
Exactly. Opted out of that one…immediately.
100 dollars a day?!? Wtf is this a joke???? Wow that's really little money. L job. McDonald's pays betrer
@@JamesWillKickYourButt $100 a day working only 4 hours. No, McDonalds does not pay better. Watch the video instead of thinking you know it all.
One thing I do on Uber eats is I always write "have a good day 🙂, very effective at getting tipped after delivery
Is that via Text? I guess...
@@joesemo yes, I put it where it says where you left the order, it's the little things customers appreciate which leads to getting tips after delivery
I do that too. Some add a tip if there was none to begin with, some increase the tip after delivery and some people still don't tip at all.

I make $100 in 3 hours everyday by delivering on a Vespa in L.A. only way to go! Avg. $35 hour. If you deliver in a big city investing in a scooter is a must.
I have to say I’m great full for doordash. I was laid off and I can go out and make 150 bucks. It’s about mindset. I just pretend I’m a nyc taxi driver and simply not go home until you have done what you need to do. Sure it’s uncomfortable and sure we all wanna be in the house but it can be done.
well said dude
Love that mindset!! Good luck bro!
This was helpful. I can be flat out grouchy about it 😂
Been doing DD for a few weeks to see what its like. So, I accept every order I get. Worst has been $4.50 no tip. I need to stay busy or I actually fall asleep. So accepting everything from 8:30- 2:30 Usually gets me $100 for 6 hours. Thats been my experience. Having a 90+% acceptance means DD keeps giving me orders. But like I said. Having ADHD means I need to be moving.
Worst 4.50...I have said no to over 100 deliveries in the past 5 days that were 2.50 to 3.50...
Thanks for sharing/watching joesemo - do you multi-app? That'll keep you constantly moving as well
@@YourDriverMike Yea. Uber Eats (just started shopping), Roadie (cause I have a truck) and DoorDash. Shipt wants me to finish my application, so maybe do that sometime. Got my first $2.50 today. Took it just because it was under 1 mile - roundtrip.
Mileage??
@dabz3318 you can claim milage.
I’m at 83% AR from 47% AR and I found it definitely increased the quality of the orders I get. Unfortunately, the only app available in my area is DoorDash so I can’t multi app. Sometimes I make $25 an hour. Sometimes I make $8.
And that’s the reality . Unfortunately you are correct on earnings because I do it in Brooklyn NYC and app have glitches people don’t tip no matter how good your service is 80% off delivery don’t tip compared to other parts of NY they do tip 98% of the time been doing it for 2 months now just to get some extra money and it’s totally BS that you can make it 100$ in car in 4 hours in nyc
I have 5000 dashes in just over a year..I don't remember ever making a 100 in 4 hours..my goal is 114 a day so I take home 800 a week ...I drive 125 to 175 miles a day...I'll work 6 to 8 hours every day..I do not take orders under 7 bucks..peak pay before 11:30 pm is fantasy..Winston-Salem
I love dashing Friday and Saturday night especially when it gets late like 12am. I have a heavy foot so I get my orders there quick and don't have to deal with very much traffic. Easily make at least $150 as at that time usually good peak pay. My record for one day was over $400 but almost all day it was at least $4.00 peak pay. Also I always communicate with my customers and I am just a sweet girl in general and it shows
Not a lot of restaurants are open at 12am tho in my area.
How the heck do u see the addresses??!! Lol I’m scared to go at nite bc of that very reason.
@Luv pink hard to see the address in some houses.. but if you really can't tell just call the customer and either they come out or they'll tell you the color of the house or what type of car is parked outside or something
@@Elbananon69 thank u for the tip! I’m gonna venture out and see how it goes lol
@@trishelliott2401 Try it! Yesterday was my first day. I did 6 orders $105 in 3hrs. I was so nervous but after my first two I calmed down lol 😂. I actually received an extra $15 tip once I finished and was home eating dinner. My last two deliveries were in the dark and I was a little nervous. I’ve learned to zoom in on the map so I clearly see which house I’m looking for. I ALWAYS gave each customer a text updating them along the way. I always send a thank you text after my tip too. The order I received extra on had already given me a $14!
I do it, if not more. Drive from 8:30-9 am to 3pm. Did 19 deliveries just today. We hardly ever have peak pay.
ATTENTION ALL DELIVERY DRIVERS.
Just to let you know .
All the delivery apps every time you decline an order you get punish.
Meaning you are put on hold and that is the reason why it takes too long to get another offer to deliver and your acceptance rate drops like a meteor .
Don't believe it. Not accepting garbage just to get an ok delivery.
Not instacart
I get another offer within moments of declining an order, so not true.
@@yourfriendlyneighborhoodic128
You will get Lousy 3 or 4 dollars runs or perhaps a 6.75 run which involves at least 5 miles one way trip but then it will take you out of your delivery zone.?
is that the ones you are talking about?
I have videos and screenshots to back up my comments. again not all markets are the same, my comment was aim to my market area.
I am a long time gig worker from Uber to Groceries deliveries.
I am not a new comer in this type of business.
TRUE
It’s not all about the acceptance rate. U also have to keep your customer rating high. That’s more important than accepting orders.
True but I feel like most Dashers will never have to worry about their driver rating. Deactivation is at a very low 4.2
Not showing tips on app is a BIG RED FLAG for me.
I only had 1 non- high pay order today on doordash, the high pay program is so fricken good!! My last order was $19 for 3.4 miles, took me 12 minutes.
I just did one order today during a promotional period that ended up being 12 miles round trip, and $8 for the delivery and wasn't even paid the promo. And the delivery took 40 minutes.
@deanseawa no. Don't do that!! High Pay Order Program is $2+ per mile they send you which is worth it and what we want.
@@XanianEmpirewhen is the high pay period?
@@johnner32 It's the High Pay Program on Doordash, 50% acceptance rate and above.
I used to make $100 a day until they flooded the world with too many dashers
Anything outside zone should be mandatory $10 plus the regular pay added,most places don't have restaurants everywhere,just joyride back,also the money should go up, further out you have to drive, people will still purchase,because they are lazy,want drive them miles themselves
I made about $100 today on Door Dash accepting all orders and worked almost ten hours in and near Tampa, Florida. I barely got tips. My total for tips today was $13. I hope the tips from this video helps.
I just moved to Largo and started dashing
I like the Palm Harbor area. Worked there twice so far
Ten hours 😮I make more than that a day working only 7.5 hrs
my advice to you is not to do that and be selective what to take, if you’re in tampa you should easily make that a lot within 5 hours or so depending on the times and day. 3 quarters of my income through doordash are from customer tips and $2-$3 orders are too cheap for my blood regardless of the distance and how slow it is and that’s the beauty of these apps is having the privilege to pick and choose what you wanna take
I make $100 easy in cali!! Also a top dasher and love having the privilege of dashing anytime
I have over 2k deliveries with a 4.95 customer rating and 89% acceptance rate. Last night was my first time dashing since last October because I work retail and the holiday season is so busy that I had no time. When I logged I'm, it said "you have top priority for best deliveries" I got 3 deliveries and made $40 in an hour which is a record so maybe this new update is legit?? I'll find out this weekend✌️
Which market? 89% AR and you're still hitting $1.75/mile and $25/hr on average? If so that is a HOT market! 🔥🔥
@@YourDriverMike Some of the richest suburbs in Chicagoland! 😁
Its all about the area to be honest
Yes I run the well to do neighborhoods of Fort Smith Ar it makes a huge difference
I drove 52 miles today, about 20 of which was dead miles driving from home to a red zone or from a delivery way out of zone back home. I made a whopping $22.75 in 3 hours. Not sure the Lehigh acres/east firt Myers market is worth doing. By my math I lost money based on mileage and wear and tear, gas, etc. I only made 43 cents per mile.
Thank you for posting this!!! I'm just beginning and so I'm totally green when it comes to these "side hustles", so I have needed good tips and instructions, and you provide that. You earned yourself a subscriber!
Its been really hard to get orders sometimes as a top dasher yet i see others still getting orders. Im shooting for 50 a day tops and it usually takes 2-3 hours in total (less then 2 hours active time)
Thanks Mike! 👍🏻 I signed up with nearly ALL the food/grocery apps last week and I’m on waiting lists with all of them. ☹️ argh 😤 HOPEFULLY one of them activates me soon 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Concentrate on the tips. The strategies you develop and put to use. This is a topic on its own, the psychology of the tip. . In my opinion your best friend to the 100 per day. Enjoying your vids, great job!!!
I appreciate that, only tricky thing with tips is the contactless nature of what 95% of them now versus having some facetime with the customer. Still doable but I think market demographics comes into play more
but you wont see how much the tip is
I was able to do 100-180, 200 a day over 2 years ago, but dd has been slow & lower base pay so I'm struggle n now to make $100 and this is for a week!☹️
I’ve only been doing it for 3 days now but so far my worst order was $5.05 & my best was $18.49 ( Melbourne Australia )
Good day mate!
Not cool
not where I am. two to three hot zones 6 miles apart, that hit $3 max, and the hot zone is like half a mile across. and those hot zones don't always light up. it's a struggle to make $80 a day at 8 hours a day here.
Unless you want to drive 15 miles for 10 miles. Then you might get $90
DD gets worse with every update.
And now UA-cam is filled with DD driving commercials...
@Pam Benachour I started doing earn by time (notice the algorithm favors earn by time)... because of my towns layout, there is a small chance of a super high milage order... but my income has been cut in half from this time last year... luckily, this is a second income, I can't imagine being a full income...
Im from laredo. I make the 100 in 6 hrs
I'm from Tulsa I make about 500 to 700 a week hustling. I have made 900 in a week once with everything going right that week(peak pays, etc.)
@Pam Benachour hi! I’m looking into it and after reading your comment. Is it possible to dash for only 2hrs a day? If I wanted to do this in between jobs?
Great video. That time earnings mode thing isn't available for me. Is that something that you need to reach a certain number of deliveries before you get that option? From their site it looks like it's a temporary pilot.
I started dashing last week to fill in a slow period for my remodeling business. I think you could easily make $100/ day in 3.5 - 5 hours even when not on peak bonus times. You are going to just have to stick it out for the week because some days it's comes easy and you make more than $120 in 4 hours and other days you make $85 in 4 hours. In the end it all averages out and if your goal for the week is $500, you may have to work an extra hour or two on an evening or Saturday breakfast to make it. It's fun all in all. I love doing it.
Door dashing is basically like a server working for a restaurant a server relies on their service to make the best tips. Doordash gives you a base pay regardless if it's a consistent $5 or $6 every run they still give you a base pay. So when you break down your weekly you have your tips and in base pay by. In other words you're still working for doordash!
If so explain that to them when tax time arrives
You're still working for doordash but you work for yourself in the sense that you're in control of where you work and what orders you take. Idk what to say about the ppl who think we're employees bc we're not but you get the app and sign up, if you get approved you can start, and it's up to you what orders you take and when you work. I don't think anyone is denying that we're working for doordash.
@@HldnTudix00 It's the same thing as working for a restaurant same exact concept they just have y'all fooled lmao 🤣
@@brianawhittaker8152 Yes Brianna they are denying that they aren't working for D.D. They think they're working for themselves which is true but you still have a base pay just like serving. It's irrelevant where you choose to dash or what you choose to accept. The failure of realizing it is on DD drivers. The little tweaks ( hourly pay, or customer cash tips) Inch by inch year by year DD as a company has squeezed their way in to being your employer.
I saw in one day that what you make in DD depends ENTIRELY on location. I'm in a big city and will now drive out to start in Richy McMansion zone to bring them steaks, not a 6pc McNugget to No Tips Central ...
I don’t have the option to do any of the other niche. Amazon flex, Spark, Instacart, Shipt, etc. I just get told I’m on a waitlist for opportunities in my area 😒
Worst order I got was a stacked order and the one order was $2 base pay and a .14 cent tip but the other order was $4 base pay and a $3 tip for less than a mile
I was dashing in the Western NY Buffalo area and getting 22$/hour on average, and most of that wasn't even during peak pay times. I'd imagine at least 25-26$/hr with peak pay.
Why has DoorDash gotten slower? I’m only making half of what I used to make. It has gotten extremely slow, low paying trips with hardly any tips.
My worst offer just came earlier today. $2.50 with no tip to go 11.3 miles one direction. I don't think I've ever hit decline faster.
I know right, they need a minimum.
High 5. Respecting yourself more than to accept that type of treatment from people.
I've gotten DD orders that were 9 miles for 3.25 in NJ. Idk who would take a order like that maybe if your new and don't know but DD really tries to sneak those in! That's MY Worst order.
Hi 👋 Mike I do Gopuff weekly here in NYC 🗽 now they send me this notification, Starting January 23, delivery partners in your metro will see a new “trip offer” screen, which displays the estimated delivery time, the number of orders included in the trip, and the total earnings before tip. Base pay will be higher for trips that are estimated to take longer. As such, delivery partners at our Flatiron location who make the extra trip to pickup wine and spirits can expect to earn higher base pay to account for the additional time.
Correct! What do you think of Trip Offers? By the way more info on it here: ua-cam.com/video/9j9WODSBe8o/v-deo.html
Always communicate with customers, you will get hidden tips. Also, sit in rich neighborhoods and you will get super high paying orders
I did feel like customers in La Jolla would tip higher on average when I used to drive there but do you think they're ordering as much food delivery versus middle/lower income markets?
Well not always true I have had twenty plus dollar tips from your average families and have had so many pick up requests to million dollar homes with couple dollar tips so not always the case
100 a day is rare in my market as the only time worth dashing is max 4 hours a day and the market is over saturated. There is rarely peak pay here. Doing it about 4 hours a day I’m making around 18 - 22 per hour
100 a day for 8 hrs is basically $12/hr job
$100/day my goal used to do it in 4-5 hrs now days takes me 8-10 hrs 4.7 stars 80% AR here…
Mike, be real. $100/day in MY MARKET ( Louisville, KY ) is near impossible. Before DD lost their partnership with Walmart, I was making $150/day/4 hours. Now 4 hours results in $75 or less. I start at 8-230. DD is 🗑️
I hope you’re not just using DD lol, you should be multi-apping
@@Speedgamer2015 You're right. I forgot. UE in my market results in $8/day because it's slow ASF and pay outs are trash.
And the truth is some markets 100% will not work for DD or even more/many apps. These are really market specific because Miami performs differently than Omaha which is different than Pittsburgh or Louisville. For food delivery I think it's really a balance of how many customers (people USING these apps) do we have vs how many participating restaurants are there. Then just supply/demand from there
@@YourDriverMike Agreed. There are too many drivers on the app and that's also another debilitating factor. Thanks for the response!
I live in Louisville ky and most I’ve made so far is $84 in a day. But it was a lot of traveling so a good $20 went right back in to the gas tank.
You should give tips on driving safely. Like when I’m driving to a zone and I only got 1 minute to decide it’s hard to look at it and see if it makes sense. I don’t like taking my eyes off the road.
I have 3 days working and I made 100 in 3 days.
Wait... You only go after ones that pay 1.75/mi? I'd be turning down 90% of the ones they send me
Damn, gone are the days of $400, $300, and even $200 a day. Things are getting so bad for the youtubers that they're now settling for just $100 a day. Best way to make poor pay is to listen to the youtubers folks. I stopped taking youtuber advice long ago and do a lot better. Just learn your market folks, only way to make good money is to experiment and learn what works for where you are.
Before I watch this. Work for 4 hours. There, I explained how.
Edit: ohhh... that's what you said. I should watch before I comment.
Further Edit: o.O this video isn't for me. Cash on delivery. Gambling? No thanks. I want to know what I'm getting paid before I accept the order.
I do not think this was made clear that if you do earn by time, that is ONLY when you are actively on a delivery. It is actually a better program then it seems on the surface, I've tried it a couple times and it helps the night be less stressful and on the couple nights I've done it so far I'm around $22/hr (total, not just active) which is close to what I typically get multi apping. I'll keep testing it a bit longer.
so you only earn the $12 while working on an order but +tips you've been getting well over $20?
I always do Earn By Time. But I'm in Washington, where the guarantee is $14.50/hr. And I deliver in mid-afternoon because that's when it fits in my day. If I start turning down orders, I just sit because more don't come in. I was averaging $17-18/hr before. I average $21-22/hr now.
So what you are saying is: that when it's slow, I should accept that $4.00 order that is 12.5 miles ? Like the Donut run that I DECLINED yesterday. That would have also included the extra effort of trying to find parking in a crowded shopping center, then walk an undetermined amount of distance to FIND the Krispy Kreme, get the order, then walk all the way back to car which is most likely parked on the farthest parking space in the lot, then drive that 12.5 miles to a known high crime area, all of that for $4.00. then MAYBE I could reach $100/ Day. Oh and not to forget. 98% sure that there will be NO TIP.
I don't understand why people are so much against the per hour pay. I have done both per order, and per hour. I seem to make the same $20 or so an hour either way. The difference is when I do per hour, I'm not racing to complete an order, I just drive nice and normal... You get tips with the hourly orders as well...
I'm a mom. I can dash with my kid
I don’t do cash on delivery though. Usually get $75/day on weekdays. The $125/day Friday-Sunday.
How long do you work for though? Is that 3/4 hours
@@alexvillalobos7137 yeah 3 hours. 5:30 to 8:30pm dinner rush is the best.
I try to do 100 a day(not including Prop 22 pay). I usually have to do about 6 hours to get the 4 active hours
That's about right..that seems what I do
Thanks for being honest
Speaking of CA Prop 22 guaranteed pay, how often do you get paid that (vs making more then obviously you don't need it)
I been making $90 in 3 hrs last week Thursday I did $90 in 3 hrs
Just started DoorDash 3 days ago. It’s Wednesday and I went out dashing for lunch.
$41 for 3 and a half hours. 3 orders sent me to the city south of me (20 min away) and one didn’t tip.
Really left a sour taste in my mouth.
Not worth the gas and wear and tear
I keep being offered a 3.25 orders and declining promptly
Mike really apprec ur videos ..keeps me on track ..motivated and focused ..any tips for night delivery.. having a hard time finding customers on campus or poorly lit streets .. thanks ..wish you lots of success 🎾👍
This works for me, but as I'm pykling up near the drop off spot, I turn on my high beams(when no other cars are in view so I'm not hurting anybody) and that really helps me look for the house number
Thanks Jason, so at night I'd use the in-app location pin that's displayed on DD or navigation like Google Maps. If no cars are behind you slow down and roll the windows down (esp if you have tint) to see the house numbers. If cars are behind you try to simply park as close as you can using that pin then go from there. Remember typically it's odd house numbers on one side even on the other so that'll help narrow it down as well
This guy is completely unrealistic with his goals. He forgot to mention about paying taxes, car maintenance, and fuel cost. After all that that's how much you make. I was in Uber driver and after deducting all your expenses, you make somewhere around $10 to $12 an hour. That's keeping it real.
Also many multiple orders are pickup two orders for one person so no double tipping from my experience
$100 in four hours? That’s a pipe dream where I’m at…if you sit and wait for a double digit pay delivies, you’ll be sitting a long time. The market you drive in is a critical component apparently.
Fortunately, $100. per day or whenever I've dashed or "dash" has been highly doable. It's my minimum goal & usually it exceeds my minimum goal. Thankfully! However, although I use 3 apps at times, I've found that the $100. minimum daily goal has easily been accomplished with the Doordash app. Usually 8 hours max Dash time does the job for me.
How many hours does it take to get your minimum?
@@new1old I have 5000 delivered in just over a year..it takes me 6 to 8 hours to get a 100 bucks...any peak pay before midnight happens about one time a month
Why are you bringing up 3 apps? We are just talking door dash
I got a $2.75 for 5.8 miles
Someone ordered $50 worth of food from an expensive seafood place that is a busy plaza that is difficult to park and pick up. I didn't have anything else so I thought I would grab it. I struggled to find a place to park at the busy plaza, and when I finally parked, got the food and delivered it, the tip showed $0.00.
They can afford $50 in food, but no tip 🙄
I know those ones sting, what was the pay when the offer was sent through? Hopefully still a good D:M
100 a day is pretty easy . 4 to 6 hours depending on bonus pay
This is a problem in my market every other app except for uber eats is full and not accepting new drivers
Anything over 7$ , 5miles or below. That’s my motto and I get 100$ in three hours. Quit my full time job and went back to school.
I delivered 5 huge 50lb dog food to 5 different customers today. The expensive science diet bags. They all only gave .50 and $1.00 tips each.
Dude had a gate going to his mansion, $100 for 50lb dog food, had to drive 11 miles there and 11 miles back, for a $1 tip.
I can't image just tipping $1 for a $10 pizza.

You got tipped with some exercise
What I don't understand is why don't yall become truck drivers and actually make money. I own my own semi and I'm home every day. I gross around $25k a month and take home around $13k a month. I just don't get it.
A lot of people aren’t willing to adapt to that lifestyle
@@KidWeird495 it can be a life style. I am home every day though in the Chicago market. There are probably on a few markets that could support it. LA, LONG BEACH, CHICAGO, SAVANNAH
I’ll never take COD orders. Ever.
Today started off good, then I got an order that was $3.00 for 7 miles so I declined it. I haven’t got another order for over an hour and counting. I’m a top dasher and that isn’t helping. I’m pretty sure my area is over saturated with drivers. They obviously don’t need me.
Worst order I have seen was $2.00 and 18 miles. I obviously declined.
Thats horsecrap they wud even send that offer. There shud be a higher base pay.
I'm lucky if I can make $10 an hour. If I want to make $100 I have to work a full 8 hours and then it's not guaranteed.
I just started last week and it’s like you can make $100 in like 2 days the most your going to make in a day is like 30-40 dollars cause if you keep doing it throughout the day your going to have to fill your gas tank up and most of the money u make will go towards your gas tank most likely
Sundays are my best days. I make the most on Sundays in my market.
usually how it is, those are the rest days and where people are ordering all throughout the day including breakfast hours and 2-4pm unlike the weekdays and so you can make $200+ those days (and saturdays as well) if you have the patience and self discipline to stay on the app for a while
No Way! I've been Dashing and I barely makes $50 in 5 hours. Orders only $3.00, no tips, long distance. This is not possible!
$100 a day is NOTHING😭 especially since u gotta pay for gas
Depends on where you live. When i lived in charleston i could easily make 200 a day but now where i live im lucky to make 100 in a full day and thats working til night. To many dashers in a small town
Ive only been driving for a week. I have like 9 logged hours and made $150. I still havent received my bag and Red card yet. My area has not had peak pay at all and what are challenges?
We don’t get tips here ( at least I think the app doesn’t ask for a tip, I ordered something the other day & I didn’t see anywhere to leave a tip ) Melbourne Australia
I do make $100 in 5hours if I can work all day I can make $300 , problem I don't like driving long time and distance
My worst order was in 2020 on Postmates (pre- UE/ Postmates merger), I drove 15 miles for $3.79 & no tip. I was relatively new to food delivery and I was a college student, so I didn't know San Diego as well as I do now. Postmates was AWFUL haha you didn't even know how much you would make until after delivery
PM truly was an awful awful driver app. Zero info on pay beforehand, little to no bonus pay, no true predictive distance (showing a route)
Friday I did 1hr before heading to work with 3 orders two where stacked and. 1 was 3 stacked order and made $40 all orders where less than 2 miles away
I drove for doordash and worked twelve hours over three days at peak periods and made $47.
00. Less than four dollars an hour. Only paid for the gas used and had me driving from one side of town to the other. Not worth the effort.
I never see anyone talking about the taxes you have to put away. So if you made 100$ you technically only made 70$ because you have to put 30% away for taxes
I did 9 orders in 2 and a half hours and got 71.50. Is that good?
Average
When I first started dashing almost 2 years ago. I easily made 100 a day driving after work. Not anymore. There is a lot of competition in my market. And accepting every order isn’t realistic, unless you like burning gas for a $4 9 miles order that takes you out a good zone. So then you have to drive the 9 miles back. How are you making $ with that? But DD offers low pay because there are so many drivers. Put it to you like this, on Friday nights in my area, outside of any restaurant there are over 6 cars sitting there waiting for an order. Yes, just sitting there, because my market is saturated.
In my market, you would spend 10 hours and 100 miles to make $100 now on DD alone. I'd never do that! Better to get a minimum wage job.
The most success you’re gonna have on dash is in the city and some rural areas but the big cities are gonna be what pay the most. I live in Paris Tx and in this city I can on a good day make 40 at 10/hr. If I want to make some real money I have to go an hour west or south to get to where the money is
Just started dashing. Most orders in my area are in the $2 rating, and I average about $8 an hour, which is minimum wage. I have started declining orders of more than 10 miles one way, because it is a waste of gas. Maybe I'll also start the multi-apping you are suggesting.
Get out! Run away!
There is no point of you breaking your car fast just for a few dollars.
Example, you do this for 6 months.
You work 5 days a week. You make 100 a day. Thats 2k a month and 12k in 6 months. Subtract taxes and gas which is about 6k.
Now that makes it 1k a month and congrats you just put at least 12k miles in 6 months.
@@The_Mysterious_Saiyan yea but if u need a job for only 3 months it’s not bad
@@anonymous-go1tq If its your last option then for it. I know the feeling of losing your job. Something is better than starvation.
@@The_Mysterious_Saiyanyou on everything telling people to run
When calculating my hourly pay, should I use my dash time or my active time?
I think it's more-so your active time.
I’ve always been curious about this question too? The method I use is, by using total time I was driving. But, I’m not sure if that’s correct or not?
@@tabathimills9710 I just use the time I start my first order until the time I finish my last order.
I have been all over the place on percentage and have had high paying orders at 30% and tons of 2-4 dollar order non stop at 70% I have driven to bigger cities nothing changed… A lot of what you mentioned I know but nothing changes?!? Lots of theories and questions!
I don’t usually work on Mondays but the last couple of time I did I did well.
Great content. I just got on as a dasher but im a little nervous tbh(no idea why lol) anyways its already night time time here so i figure ill start tomorow during the day when everything is visble more and i can can be more accepting of what i see. Im sure this is a good positive move and im trying to learn the most before i start..i am subscribing. Keep up the great content.
Friday, Saturday and Sunday are good. Tuesdays can work. Wednesday and Thursdays are bad in my market.
Yea but you are spending $60 to $70 is gas expenses so this is very untrue. 😢😢😢
Thank you! Say it louder for the people in the back!!
its $25/hr for active or utilized hour. The time between requests and for deadheading back to a power strip on a longer distance trip is NOT included!!! Its Fuzzy logic and fuzzy math at best. There is not a real world situation that you don't have lag time between requests as you have to decline a lot of garbage requests to get one that pay enough for you to reach $25/ hr
Yeah, I made $110 tonight, I looked and my active time was a little under 4 hours. They’re doing 10.25 for the pay by time in my area. lol, hell no
You are not making a $100 an hour in my area for four hours. I think this is for major cities.
Huntington West V all the way to Portsmouth Oh SUCKS. Terrible. I’m ready to move back to north Dayton or Cincinnati where it’s between 14-20 an hour 60 percent of the time
Do you use multiple phones for multi app delivery?
100… please … hard to make 50
