*TIP* when doing amazon blocks from Morrisons there is a way of not getting sent back to complete more orders. Once you have completed the orders it will ask you to acknowledge and begin to collect more, just ignore it and close the app down. Once you need to reopen the app to start your next block you will find you are on the home page and ready to check in for the next block. Been doing it for around 4 years on and off as a side hustle and never had any issues
What do you mean? When I finish a morrisons flex block it usually just goes back to my homescreen and doesn't offer me another block. Annoying cause I'd like to do 4 or 5 of them in a row but usually only get 1 or 2 if I'm lucky
If you want a per mile car maintenance figure feel free to use mine. You should get roughly 20,000 miles per tire. Tyres for your Micra will be around £45 fully fitted so that would be £180 for 4 new tires every 20,000 miles so you are 1p per mile for tyre wear and tear. For a service you should get one ever 12,000 miles. A Full Service is £169 from Farmers. Therefor your price per mile is 1.5p per mile for a service. However i round this up to 2p per mile to account for price increase. I then add an extra 2p per mile to account for exhaust, MOT, Tax etc taking the total to 5p per mile.
Great video mate. Looking forward to the logistics video! I did my first Morrisons block this week I quite enjoyed it even though I had 5 drops and a shit tonne of heavy bags 😅 and I definitely went over the 1.5 hr block. I don't take logistics blocks but might actually try it 😁👍

Another fantastic video Lewis. Love the content. Keep it coming. How about a challenge video or two. How much can you make in 24 hrs or Can you make £1000 in a week.
That's thoughtful. Free drink from maccys. P.S. Amazon are notoriously bad to their staff's mental and physical health. In their warehouse whether you stowe or pick items. Your handset has a timer. It sounds a traumatising fog horn at you when you go below their timer. Sometimes there are not enough spaces to stowe items and your colleagues see a spot in front of you and take it even though you are about to. They also have poorly lit areas. Amazon delivery is just as bad. They are timed. Often leaving them no time for lunch breaks nor toilet breaks....go in a bottle is their motto.
I think your videos are great but only gives an idea of your area. Having done Uber eats for a week around southampton and Winchester it’s a totally different experience with no where to park etc. traffic wardens, police etc looks so much easier in your area.
I was a self employed despatch rider in London over 40 years ago when I never made less than £120 daily after expenses. Much the same as it is today! But I had to have special business insurance for the bike which was expensive because I was carrying parcels. Is that a thing today? Not just a business use policy for the motorbike. It was about twice the price of normal insurance.
That's nuts! And yea, we need hire & reward insurance, and it's pricey (£150 a month for me on a 13-year old Micra with no claims, and that's CHEAP compared to what other riders get quoted).
Good informational video. I have started doing the Door Dash and Uber Eats full time, like you I am calculating all the little items to get an accurate dollar amount that I am making versus what I spend. I have watched a lot of UA-cam videos for delivery drivers and got a good system in place as to the number of hours worked to a dollar amount that I would like to make during that time. We have a few restaurants in the area that I work at that take longer than normal and the meals aren't always ready as soon as I walk in the door. Oh well, on to the next one - Cheers mate and be safe out there!
Liking the videos. With regards to car maintenance I drive 30000 miles a year as a working musician and find my garage bill ( servicing and tyres) is always around £1200 a year 😊
@@warren6815 The money in the UK appears to be considerably less, but Nashville is a much bigger city and a tourist destination. An average day here is around $25 to $27 an hour. On the weekend (and especially later at night) it can be a lot more.
@@nick-graham Ah interesting! Thanks. I did wonder if the earnings were higher in the US. Last couple of times I've been out there I noticed a lot of UberEats drivers doing deliveries in big F150s and the like, whereas the UK drivers tend to use smaller more efficient cars. I know fuel is a lot cheaper in the US but did make me wonder if they paid better too.
Great video! Living in Canada, the goverment (Canada Revenue Agency) has a automobile alllowance rate which determines how much it costs to use your own vechile for business purposes. There might be something similar in the UK.
great video, can I ask what insurance firm do you use? i'm currently looking at doing something similar but am abit confused about what exact insurance I need, keep up the good work pal :)
The car maintenance thing is still a factor with everyone who travels to and from work in their offices, factory’s etc yes you do more miles but still I bet these people asking you don’t include that into their profits.
I can’t broadcast customer’s personal information including house numbers etc. and especially their faces. And it’s such an insignificant part of the video I’m not gonna painstakingly blur individual parts of the clip. Plus people may have issues with their home being filmed and put on UA-cam without blurring. Nothing I can do about that I’m afraid.
Could you do a video or tell me about insurance for uber and deliveroo i do flex and have the inshur top up insurance is there something similar for these 2? Hire and reward insurance for the year is really expensive
Just come by your channel randomly with 9to5 video loved and sub and just want to add about the iPhone 15 there has been reports that it over heats with non apple type c chargers cable so just be careful
how can you deliver on uber eats if every mcdonalds have 2 hours no return parking restriction??? which means you can only enter once in 2 hours... someone explain how to bypass that? want to do uber eats but dont want get fine
Assumedly those places may not be camera enforced? If they're done by an attendant, and you're lucky enough to not choose the same place (and, when it comes to motorcycles, especially with a top box, they probably just assume you're a courier automatically, I'd guess!) Nonetheless, and asked this already, I wonder if anyone has ever been penalty charged from a car park while they were picking up an order, and whether they appealed it?
Do you get your money right away or is it weekly / monthly? An Idea you could do with cost of servicing is like put £2 into a pot after each day and use that for expenses £10 a week if it's 5 day week.
I've always wanted to try delivering but wondered how does tax work with the income? Do you have to declare it yourself or the company will tax it from your pay?
It's self-employment, so you're responsible for declaring your earnings once a year and paying your own tax. Obviously, there are expenses in this job that will lower the amount of tax you owe. I'll be making a video in the near future about it all as it's something that's been requested a few times!
I earn all my money from self-employment (deliveries, web-dev work, and UA-cam) so I don't have any employment tax. But if you do, you can earn £1,000 from self-employment tax free, then you pay normal tax on anything over that, but you have to declare it.
Yea, had to update my fuel cost recently, gone from 14.5p to 15.7p per mile which sucks! Hopefully they drop again soon! Thanks for the kind words too bro 🙌🏻
So, can you actually make a full time job from food delivery?, as given, there are many who do it as a full time job, as you said, but also to earn a bit of extra cash. If you aimed for around £120 everyday, mon-fri .
Depends where you live and the apps you run. I work around 5 days a week and pull in £700ish a week. I am a single Dad and can't work every night. Other drivers in my area pull in 1k a week. It mostly comes down to the area you live in. Wouldn't do this job in his area. A full day in my town is £200+, most I've done is £280.
Not with the apps I use - there’s only one app I know of that works like this called Beelivery and it’s just for grocery shop orders, you pay, deliver it, then the company reimburses you the next day with your delivery fee on top.
I am a delivery driver myself, how an earth you get your figures is beyond me… Zego insurance is 0.80p basic rate an hour and how does a micra run all day on £8, for a Petrol car in this day and age that figure is incorrect as I have used a petrol car myself for this work. Also your mileage covers all your insurance, fuel and maintenance.
Seems pretty straightforward. Micra probably does around 45 mpg, so that fuel figure seems fine. Insurance isn't forced to be zego hourly. Could be the monthly or annual policy or could be an entirely different insurer. You can't just say "petrol car" and assume they all do the same mpg. Really silly comment.
@@dontwantid you can’t drive around in a Petrol car all day for £8 anyone with common sense knows that, especially if they have a petrol car…. 0.68p insurance how?? What is silly is making out like it’s something it’s not 👍
@@LifeLK8793 I'm going to do my best to be polite here, but having run a 1L petrol engined car for deliveries myself, it's easy to do 50mpg, which a gallon is what, £6.50? So 60ish miles seems reasonable for the money he did on food deliveries, it seems perfectly acceptable, using maths, not common sense. Just do the maths. And again, the insurance cost he says he pays 50p per hour. Would need to know how he calculates that but it seems absolutely fine to me if he pays annually
@@LifeLK8793 which petrol car? A gallon is about £7, so 50 miles would still cost me £7. Honestly even if that figure is incorrect, it's not massively incorrect.
I think you need to look at doing a self tax assessment online as you could pay a year what someone pays in a month. If in doubt get advice from an accountant ;-)
I've considered it, but even just tracking things myself, I've managed to pay way less tax than when I was employed, so I'm happy! Will definitely look into it more soon though!
