Let this be a wake up call to everyone who doesn't realize you are destroying your car with gig work and that cars are disgustingly expensive right now both new/used.
Absolutely! I dashed for 3 months while looking for a new job. In that time I has to do engine work, trans work, replace a transfer case, fix a major oil leak on my main vehicle. When I parked my Jeep/daily driver and started driving our extra vehicle that lasted about 2 weeks before a transmission line blew and a river of trans fluid poured out from under the vehicle. So yeah, 2 vehicles that I had to take off the road in 3 months. Thank God my husband is a mechanic, even then it's not even close to being worth the wear and tear.

You guys giving him crap need yo realize not everyone can just go get another job. Hell i got turned down at Chipotle and i used to be in the corporate world. Especially if youre over 40. Jobs arent as abundant as you think and you never know why someone may or may not be qualified for the jobs out there.
Maybe you were overqualified for Chipotle? One job that is easy to get if you're over 40, security guard. It can be boring, but you can always find something else later. I plan on doing that once I move to the city.

That's what I'm doing right now. The fuss of having to schedule a time slot, just to waste time in not getting any orders or in getting trash orders?

At the end of the day, we have a family and/or ourselves to provide.

I previously bought a brand new GMC Terrain. I had two engine issues within a year. I traded it in immediately, and haven’t looked back. GMC’s are trash bro. I’m sorry!
When you put nothing but negative energy into the world daily (trying to roast customers for what they've ordered on a daily basis), negative energy comes right back your way. I've watched for a while now and I've heard the "This is just a stepping stone". When are you going to go to the next stone? You've been saying you can make money elsewhere, yet you're still doing the same thing. Bet on yourself, and take the next step. Prove to yourself you can do what you've been saying you can. I used to do gig work full time for 2 years. Now I work for the state as a construction inspector. My social life has been healthier, love live healthier, heath overall healthier. I took my next step to better my future. Right now it seems you're just complacent and stuck and not willing to take your next step.
I think the whole "stepping stone" segment was him trying to branch away from delivery content and realized he's type casted by youtube as the Delivery guy. A few other delivery youtube guys tried to branch away and it was committing channel suicide. Nuggs tried to do a whole different channel and I'd imagine it's demoralizing going back to square one so I think he gave up on that. Pedro probably can't make whatever content he wants without taking a huge pay cut and probably ruining this channel in the process so, dammed if you do, and dammed if you don't kinda situation. The only way to survive on gig apps currently is probably subsidizing the below min wage pay with youtube money, and when your over it on both ends, it's looking like a nightmare scenario. Gig work is in a terrible spot, no money to be made, and no more youtube views rolling in on it, so the money is just constantly falling on both sides. He probably wants out but nowhere to go.
@@327.0 really enjoying it. Building a bridge right now. Very chilled relaxed job. Also helping with my future as a state worker along with giving me the opportunities to expand my knowledge and go elsewhere if need be.
@@TheDecider2024 can you please show where I blamed him? I simply said he should take his name how it should be and bet on himself to do things he has said in videos he wants to do as in using gig work as a stepping stone
@@Rizzerio1 once I realized that there simply is no growth with gig work, and that it should only be used as it’s original purposes as a side hustle, that’s when I decided to go get a State job. I truly believe I’ve made the right choice. Not making as much but in the long run (2-3 years from now) I’ll be making more, have better opportunities with being able to be certified in areas of my job, and in the end have a healthier personal and social life
@@bballah9969I'm not sure that was a dig but be careful who you laugh at because shit comes full circle. Never know what someone is dealing with. Yes it's frustrating because I'm mid 40s and doing this but also we used to make 6 figures and because of companies breaking labor laws and other things we are stuck. It's not as easy at our age to get other work.
@@TheDecider2024 Sorry but if your making six figures and still broke you have money management problems as simple as that. Less than five percent of the US population makes six figures a year. The reality is people live beyond there means that's why they have money problems and have debt.
This is exactly why I decided I deserved more and stopped doing Gig work. I used to feel the same way” like a hamster on a wheel” It might be time to Really bet on yourself. Let me ask you … what’s your passion? I for one was one of the people you helped so much during my dog days of DoorDash. I listened to you and bet on myself. I’m so much happier and I’m making a lot more money. I hope things get better real soon.❤️
Gig work can be done full time, the problem is though too much people do it full time mainly for the money and think their going to be able to survive using just one or two apps. While gig work can be done full time, it does take a lot of work and effort to be successful.
We shouldn’t need 2 jobs just to have a LITTLE extra $ , that’s what the government wants you to do tho bc that’s more tax $ they’re getting.. wake the f up people
Ha ha... he just assumes he can hurt a "average" man. These types of assumptions keeps you in these situations. Humble yourself and stop thinking you can do things that you have not done. Focus that energy on productive things.
Pedro my brother, if your at that point where your literally recording yourself like that, you need to swallow your pride and seriously consider going back to a w2 job. I'm not being mean but you have a family to think about, so you might want to consider it. There's no shame in that. If you do decide to stick it out, try to get a 2nd vehicle. I got rear ended almost a month ago in Ohio which the person didn't stop and if it wasn't for my wife having a vehicle I would been screwed. If you stick with gig work, you should at the very least consider getting a 2nd vehicle. Also look into getting a Hyundai. The Hyundai I had was very reliable until I got hit.
@@DINGOS30 oh, lets not forget, techically your supposed to carry a line of commercial insurance for this work,, game ,set and match, you couldnt pay that insurance of this.
Bro. I love ya, Im not a car guy, don't want to be rude. Buy a toyota, they are beast's, other cars are better for other stuff , but dog a gmc? For wear and tear? For stop and go?
I feel you bro this is everyday for me I'm 75 years old trying to save my home after my husband died a piece of s*** car dealer sold me a 2015 Buick encore knowing I knew nothing about buying a car charge me $20,000 I've had nothing but trouble from the car from day one I've put thousands and thousands of dollars in the car but I owe so much on it I can't get out from under it I'm between a rock and a hard place so I know where you're coming from😢
There's a cheat code for this work that the vast majority of people know about but don't take advantage of. The #1 thing you can do to increase your profits in this line of work, nothing else can even compare, is sell your gas guzzling SUV and get a late 3rd gen Toyota Prius with low miles. 50 miles per gallon, maintenance and repair costs are massively lower than EVs and you don't have to sit there for 30 mins to an hour when you stop at the gas station. If you have less cargo space than the SUV, it is not much less at all, Prius has a ton of cargo space. Do as much work on your own car as you can. Get an OBDII scan tool and learn to use it. Oil changes are the most routine maintenance thing you'll have to do, never ever ever take your car to a shop for them. Get tires at Discount Tires so you get free rotation and balance for the rest of the life of the tire. Get rid of your gas guzzling SUVs if you do this work and get a Toyota Prius. Nothing else you could possibly do will increase your earnings as much as this.
So, what is different between Pedro and the dough dash lady who I recently noticed? She is making UA-cam videos and does doordash gig work, but also gaining subscribers and making some earnings as well.
I think its time to chase those ambitions whether that's contract work or W2. People, especially on UA-cam, glorify the big earnings they make weekly. Its cool don't get me wrong but having a mind set like that will keep some trapped in this loop. Find work that works with you and not against you. Don't look down, look up....sure theres obstacles on the way up but if you thug it out long enough you will reach the top.
*PLEASE READ PEDRO* You gotta get outta that car Pedro. We have a similar vehicle, Buick Enclave 2018. It’s a time bomb. 3.6 liter motors and the drive train on those vehicles are horrible. Not to mention the $4K it costs to do the timing chains which will need to be done near 100,000 miles. Also these cars are known for having weird electrical issues like your having. I used our Enclave for delivery recently and missed an Instacart order. After I missed it I hit the steering wheel and the damn service traction light came on. Like I said weird electrical issues. Get out asap if you can. Good luck, sir
Yeah lots of good jobs out there that's why the unemployment rate went higher as companies are not hiring now due to a potential recession around the corner
@@bballah9969 If you would have taken the job “then” When rainy days come you wouldn’t have to worry when the economy turned. Plus he’s got too much overhead, kid.. super expensive, girlfriend who really doesn’t work. Why he’s having problems
@@MJ98774 Can't blame them. It's all about that feeling that we should buy American made products. Well I believe the moment American manufactures start making a reliable vehicle than maybe there will be more people who will buy American made vehicles.
Car troubles are aggravating. Part of the reason when I started gig work full time, I bought a brand new vehicle. I have definitely been here before, and it really can be trying cuz problems seem to come in waves. Definitely in need of a change in the routine.
I had to learn this the hard way too (with a Nissan) Only do Honda, Toyota, Subaru or Mazda. Or preferably Honda/Toyota. Stick to that. Get a Corolla/Civic/CRV and you can get 300K miles on them with minimal maintenance.
I hear you. Monday - IBS kicks up. Tuesday, couldn't get an order to save my behind. Wednesday was good. Thursday, flat tire and by the time it was changed and all, too late to get out and do anything (I had a late start). Today (Friday), had to get the other back tire done, and the tire shop was packed, so half my day was spent sitting in the waiting room. So yeah, I hear you, loud and clear.
this work is bad everywhere coast to coast, dont listen to any of these "in my market people", i did this 3 years ago and still paying the gas bill of on it.
Bro I quit the gig work 7 years ago and now own my own Painting business making $175-200k a year, gig work was fun but you have to make bigger and better choices in life, having your own business is way better than gig work, hell even a w2 is better than gig work now at least you know you don’t have to stress about customers, bro take your leap and go do something different trust me your life and emotions will be better 100%!!!!
I once had a pastor speak to me in tongues. He said, "Shouldaboughtahonda." From that on, I've bought nothing but Hondas. All jokes aside, Pedro, this week has been utter shit. Low payouts, no real orders. People complaining about their orders you can't control. I just can't wait until next week.
I feel you brother. I lost two cars in one week so gig work. Brake failed on my Highlander cost me an arm to replace. Decided to give it a break and resort to my Camry. Out of nowhere the radiator burst whilst in the middle of a $7 delivery.
You like the autonomy of gig work but want something more stable. Have you considered contractor work as a driver? Something like medical courier might work for you. You get consistent pay, you can do PT or FT in some places, some companies let you use their vehicle, and some give benefits. You might want to try doing courier PT for a W2, and then doing gig work for the other few hours. It might help give you that mental break.
Pedro like I said before its never to late 2025 is around the corner and you can make a change for the better. Think about it do you see yourself doing gig work for another year dealing with dead beat customers that dont tip and its goung to get worse every year as you get older. Think about it man time is passing by and you dont want to be in your fifties delivering food for a living. You need a stable job with a stable income and benefits and it all starts with a clean shave and haircut brudda lets get it! 😂
chill bro probably just a starter. iv probably had to replace at least 3 of them on cars i have had. its easy to be happy when everything is going your way. the real test of character is how you handle things when times are tough. hang in there man. like my grampa used to say. everything is temporary
fr. I can't believe this dude decided to unalive his cash cow over some ghetto non-tippers lol. This dude was one of the ones at the top a few years when gigtube was on fire during the pandemic on youtube. Now the veteran gig workers are almost all moving on. Doordash and UberEats and etc play too many games nowadays.
Good advice. Gigwork feels like an addiction. This past weekend, I took a long drive to decompress and be in nature. I literally had to force myself to not turn on the apps. But, dammit I did it anyway. Thankfully where I went there were no orders. #GigIntervention
Trade in for a Honda or Toyota. It’s so pathetic that American cars really suck. Even the owner of my mechanic shop owns a Toyota and a Honda. He won’t buy American cars.
This makes me so Sad😢. You’ve always been such an inspiration. I completely understand. I will say this. Get your spiritual health right, and your mental health will follow. ❤Hang in there .
Yeah with 2013 ford escape that f me up so hard spent so much money on it every week. it seems like you got lucky with your escape and made you trust to buy American cars which suck so much. Toyota is the only way to go bro
Personal responsibility is one thing, but let's not act like DD & UE aren't causing more problems than the one they were created to solve. They keep trying to get free labor but fail to realize that they HAVE to pay back what they cost people. That will never be up for debate.
Omg I feel u. Worst week ever hating the gig life and I love it. I had an easy ic Safeway today and about lost it 3 small orders couldn’t keep it together it was the worst. I’m to the point I hate shopping just want delivery anymore, I’m there with u…
Bro you need a Honda civic or a Toyota Corolla or Toyota Camry if you want a car that will last longer than you will live on this earth all American cars and European cars are trash.
I was at this point a few years ago until one of my customers told me that I was better than this and yes it took a while to set in but now I work in finance remotely for a firm finally picking up the pieces

Lol you look and sound like a young buck. The reality is we all have to work a 9-5 or open a business and work like everyone does for a living, or else you will be homeless living in the streets it's as simple as that. You think people like to work for a living absolutely not no one likes to work but it's a part of life and a necessity.
The problem in today's society is the Internet and these fake gurus selling you a course on how to get rich and stay home pushing buttons trading crypto and what ever else, has the youth of today delusional and totally lost on the reality of what the real world is.

Pedro, can you rant and drive? I am waiting on my delivery and you are holding me back
Could be ignition switch, or even your key itself if it's gotten bent at all
I previously bought a brand new GMC Terrain. I had two engine issues within a year. I traded it in immediately, and haven’t looked back. GMC’s are trash bro. I’m sorry!
When you put nothing but negative energy into the world daily (trying to roast customers for what they've ordered on a daily basis), negative energy comes right back your way. I've watched for a while now and I've heard the "This is just a stepping stone". When are you going to go to the next stone? You've been saying you can make money elsewhere, yet you're still doing the same thing. Bet on yourself, and take the next step. Prove to yourself you can do what you've been saying you can. I used to do gig work full time for 2 years. Now I work for the state as a construction inspector. My social life has been healthier, love live healthier, heath overall healthier. I took my next step to better my future. Right now it seems you're just complacent and stuck and not willing to take your next step.
Hell ya we all feeling the same. How you like your new job? Sounds fun
I think the whole "stepping stone" segment was him trying to branch away from delivery content and realized he's type casted by youtube as the Delivery guy. A few other delivery youtube guys tried to branch away and it was committing channel suicide. Nuggs tried to do a whole different channel and I'd imagine it's demoralizing going back to square one so I think he gave up on that. Pedro probably can't make whatever content he wants without taking a huge pay cut and probably ruining this channel in the process so, dammed if you do, and dammed if you don't kinda situation. The only way to survive on gig apps currently is probably subsidizing the below min wage pay with youtube money, and when your over it on both ends, it's looking like a nightmare scenario. Gig work is in a terrible spot, no money to be made, and no more youtube views rolling in on it, so the money is just constantly falling on both sides. He probably wants out but nowhere to go.
@@327.0 really enjoying it. Building a bridge right now. Very chilled relaxed job. Also helping with my future as a state worker along with giving me the opportunities to expand my knowledge and go elsewhere if need be.
@@TheDecider2024 can you please show where I blamed him? I simply said he should take his name how it should be and bet on himself to do things he has said in videos he wants to do as in using gig work as a stepping stone
@@Rizzerio1 once I realized that there simply is no growth with gig work, and that it should only be used as it’s original purposes as a side hustle, that’s when I decided to go get a State job. I truly believe I’ve made the right choice. Not making as much but in the long run (2-3 years from now) I’ll be making more, have better opportunities with being able to be certified in areas of my job, and in the end have a healthier personal and social life
I waste all my money on my pos car. I literally cant save money because its always breaking down
If you were better than this job then you wouldn’t be doing it. Simple as that.

You’re frustrated because you’re in your mid 40s delivering chicken nuggets for a living. It’s understandable.
🤣
@@bballah9969I'm not sure that was a dig but be careful who you laugh at because shit comes full circle. Never know what someone is dealing with. Yes it's frustrating because I'm mid 40s and doing this but also we used to make 6 figures and because of companies breaking labor laws and other things we are stuck. It's not as easy at our age to get other work.
I enjoyed delivering chicken nuggets and i'm a female in my sixties. X military And I still have a full time job.
@@TheDecider2024
Sorry but if your making six figures and still broke you have money management problems as simple as that. Less than five percent of the US population makes six figures a year.
The reality is people live beyond there means that's why they have money problems and have debt.
@@itsasecret2474nobody enjoy delivering chicken nuggets especially in their 60’s. Thats retirement age. I would rather travel when I’m that age.
This is exactly why I decided I deserved more and stopped doing Gig work. I used to feel the same way” like a hamster on a wheel”
It might be time to Really bet on yourself. Let me ask you … what’s your passion?
I for one was one of the people you helped so much during my dog days of DoorDash.
I listened to you and bet on myself. I’m so much happier and I’m making a lot more money.
I hope things get better real soon.❤️
Stay strong Pedro
Sounds like how my year started. Its easier said then done but definitely trade that car in for brand that more reliable.
GMC is trash
Gig work is not meant to do full time, it’s a way to
Make extra cash on the side.
I got 4 years of paystubs that say different
Gig work can be done full time, the problem is though too much people do it full time mainly for the money and think their going to be able to survive using just one or two apps. While gig work can be done full time, it does take a lot of work and effort to be successful.
It can be done, but it’s not what it’s meant for
@@michaelpittman3889show me your benefits vacation overtime and 401k 😂😂
We shouldn’t need 2 jobs just to have a LITTLE extra $ , that’s what the government wants you to do tho bc that’s more tax $ they’re getting.. wake the f up people
Stay strong bro. Take a break if you need to. Look into getting a CDL it seems like it’s worth it
Burnout is so real lol especially in gig work
💯💯
Ha ha... he just assumes he can hurt a "average" man. These types of assumptions keeps you in these situations. Humble yourself and stop thinking you can do things that you have not done. Focus that energy on productive things.
Pedro my brother, if your at that point where your literally recording yourself like that, you need to swallow your pride and seriously consider going back to a w2 job. I'm not being mean but you have a family to think about, so you might want to consider it. There's no shame in that. If you do decide to stick it out, try to get a 2nd vehicle. I got rear ended almost a month ago in Ohio which the person didn't stop and if it wasn't for my wife having a vehicle I would been screwed. If you stick with gig work, you should at the very least consider getting a 2nd vehicle. Also look into getting a Hyundai. The Hyundai I had was very reliable until I got hit.
DO NOT BUY A HYUNDAI OR KIA!
@@DINGOS30 oh, lets not forget, techically your supposed to carry a line of commercial insurance for this work,, game ,set and match, you couldnt pay that insurance of this.
This is the first video that his new subscribers might see. What a Primadonna
Bro. I love ya, Im not a car guy, don't want to be rude. Buy a toyota, they are beast's, other cars are better for other stuff , but dog a gmc? For wear and tear? For stop and go?
I feel you bro this is everyday for me I'm 75 years old trying to save my home after my husband died a piece of s*** car dealer sold me a 2015 Buick encore knowing I knew nothing about buying a car charge me $20,000 I've had nothing but trouble from the car from day one I've put thousands and thousands of dollars in the car but I owe so much on it I can't get out from under it I'm between a rock and a hard place so I know where you're coming from😢
There's a cheat code for this work that the vast majority of people know about but don't take advantage of. The #1 thing you can do to increase your profits in this line of work, nothing else can even compare, is sell your gas guzzling SUV and get a late 3rd gen Toyota Prius with low miles. 50 miles per gallon, maintenance and repair costs are massively lower than EVs and you don't have to sit there for 30 mins to an hour when you stop at the gas station. If you have less cargo space than the SUV, it is not much less at all, Prius has a ton of cargo space.
Do as much work on your own car as you can. Get an OBDII scan tool and learn to use it. Oil changes are the most routine maintenance thing you'll have to do, never ever ever take your car to a shop for them. Get tires at Discount Tires so you get free rotation and balance for the rest of the life of the tire.
Get rid of your gas guzzling SUVs if you do this work and get a Toyota Prius. Nothing else you could possibly do will increase your earnings as much as this.
So, what is different between Pedro and the dough dash lady who I recently noticed? She is making UA-cam videos and does doordash gig work, but also gaining subscribers and making some earnings as well.
You’re having Doordash withdrawals
you went with a gmc... need i say more.
I’ve tried warming him he tought he got a good deal with a GMC 🤡🤡🤡
Mr “I made $7000 on UA-cam my first month”, don’t feel bad for ya. You act superior, so just go buy a new car, high roller.
Pedro, you headed towards an episode of that movie “Falling Down”
That was a damn good movie. I can relate to his frustration in that movie
I think I will have some lunch now.
I want my burger to look like the picture
Hang in there bro. Nothing more infuriating than car troubles. You’re doing a great job being bravely honest and real.
I think its time to chase those ambitions whether that's contract work or W2. People, especially on UA-cam, glorify the big earnings they make weekly. Its cool don't get me wrong but having a mind set like that will keep some trapped in this loop. Find work that works with you and not against you. Don't look down, look up....sure theres obstacles on the way up but if you thug it out long enough you will reach the top.
Big earnings in the gig econ lol
*PLEASE READ PEDRO*
You gotta get outta that car Pedro. We have a similar vehicle, Buick Enclave 2018. It’s a time bomb. 3.6 liter motors and the drive train on those vehicles are horrible. Not to mention the $4K it costs to do the timing chains which will need to be done near 100,000 miles. Also these cars are known for having weird electrical issues like your having. I used our Enclave for delivery recently and missed an Instacart order. After I missed it I hit the steering wheel and the damn service traction light came on. Like I said weird electrical issues. Get out asap if you can.
Good luck, sir
That’s exactly how I felt when I was doing gig work full time for 4 years, until I got my class a license it changed my life.
Lol just get a damn 9-5 already and do gig work on the side..lots of good jobs out there
Yeah lots of good jobs out there that's why the unemployment rate went higher as companies are not hiring now due to a potential recession around the corner

You cant talk logic with people that buy American junk. He went from a Ford to a GMC. "Nuf said.
@@MJ98774 Yeah, American education system sucks and American corporations been run into ground by MBAs. The cleansing is almost complete.
@@MJ98774 Can't blame them. It's all about that feeling that we should buy American made products. Well I believe the moment American manufactures start making a reliable vehicle than maybe there will be more people who will buy American made vehicles.
@@MJ98774 the ford Max, explorer and fusion are all solid. Chevy gave me a ton of problems though.
yeah, but the buy in price is usually higher for those.
Car troubles are aggravating. Part of the reason when I started gig work full time, I bought a brand new vehicle. I have definitely been here before, and it really can be trying cuz problems seem to come in waves. Definitely in need of a change in the routine.
I had to learn this the hard way too (with a Nissan) Only do Honda, Toyota, Subaru or Mazda. Or preferably Honda/Toyota. Stick to that. Get a Corolla/Civic/CRV and you can get 300K miles on them with minimal maintenance.
I had a newer Honda. It turned out to be a pos
@@BeztCod
🤣😂🤣
Honda is a bit overpriced and difficult to work on
Subarus have CVT and or head gasket issues, not a good used car for gig work.
I feel you bro I just put a lot of money in my car and then get hit by a deer I'm so mad cause now I can't drive 😤🤬
You keep saying you got other things going on but you never say what they are
Amen brother I feel what you're saying this whole year has been a test for me 100%... Push through it brother it's god testing you.. 🙏
Negative energy bring negative results. Take a look at the content you put out for others to watch
I hear you. Monday - IBS kicks up. Tuesday, couldn't get an order to save my behind. Wednesday was good. Thursday, flat tire and by the time it was changed and all, too late to get out and do anything (I had a late start). Today (Friday), had to get the other back tire done, and the tire shop was packed, so half my day was spent sitting in the waiting room. So yeah, I hear you, loud and clear.
I quit gig work months ago. Cost too much in car repairs and gas. Don’t miss the miserable customers and 💩 money.
Bro I just worked 15hrs . 😂 u be Ight .
this work is bad everywhere coast to coast, dont listen to any of these "in my market people", i did this 3 years ago and still paying the gas bill of on it.
Bro I quit the gig work 7 years ago and now own my own Painting business making $175-200k a year, gig work was fun but you have to make bigger and better choices in life, having your own business is way better than gig work, hell even a w2 is better than gig work now at least you know you don’t have to stress about customers, bro take your leap and go do something different trust me your life and emotions will be better 100%!!!!
I once had a pastor speak to me in tongues. He said, "Shouldaboughtahonda." From that on, I've bought nothing but Hondas. All jokes aside, Pedro, this week has been utter shit. Low payouts, no real orders. People complaining about their orders you can't control. I just can't wait until next week.
I feel you brother. I lost two cars in one week so gig work. Brake failed on my Highlander cost me an arm to replace. Decided to give it a break and resort to my Camry. Out of nowhere the radiator burst whilst in the middle of a $7 delivery.
You like the autonomy of gig work but want something more stable. Have you considered contractor work as a driver? Something like medical courier might work for you. You get consistent pay, you can do PT or FT in some places, some companies let you use their vehicle, and some give benefits.
You might want to try doing courier PT for a W2, and then doing gig work for the other few hours. It might help give you that mental break.
Check your battery. You might have a dead cell in there..
Pedro like I said before its never to late 2025 is around the corner and you can make a change for the better. Think about it do you see yourself doing gig work for another year dealing with dead beat customers that dont tip and its goung to get worse every year as you get older. Think about it man time is passing by and you dont want to be in your fifties delivering food for a living. You need a stable job with a stable income and benefits and it all starts with a clean shave and haircut brudda lets get it! 😂
chill bro probably just a starter. iv probably had to replace at least 3 of them on cars i have had. its easy to be happy when everything is going your way. the real test of character is how you handle things when times are tough. hang in there man. like my grampa used to say. everything is temporary
Yes sounds like starter not doing its job 😢
You need to read the book Who took my cheese? Sorry you're having a rough time man, but the writing is on the wall with the gig economy
9-5 greater than gig work!
Dude you're in a good market and you have 80000 subscribers stop bitching you may need outside help.

This dude was one of the ones at the top a few years when gigtube was on fire during the pandemic on youtube.
Now the veteran gig workers are almost all moving on. Doordash and UberEats and etc play too many games nowadays.
Take care of your mental health. Detach from gig work for a few days and refocus.
Good advice. Gigwork feels like an addiction. This past weekend, I took a long drive to decompress and be in nature. I literally had to force myself to not turn on the apps. But, dammit I did it anyway. Thankfully where I went there were no orders. #GigIntervention
It’s time to get another car and get out of the Gig Economy do something else
You could get a Toyota Prius but Dirty Mike and the boys could defile it when left unattended
Your car needs an ECM. Install and program them for a living. ECMs are notorious in GM vehicles.

Trade in for a Honda or Toyota. It’s so pathetic that American cars really suck. Even the owner of my mechanic shop owns a Toyota and a Honda. He won’t buy American cars.
