      @J-wk7mh mines the 2000 model with stock 1.6 liter its no frills and puts out a mere 108 hp . All I care about is the good mileage . I'll never go back to jeeps and Chevys after this . With those huge 3 inch exhaust pipes, 40 gallon gas tanks , big heavy parts , large costly tires it's so wasteful. I have these little 13 inch wheels like mini brands or something. Any smaller and it's a riding mower. Took me 46 years to figure this out tho

    I'm a top dasher but there's a lot of competition in my area so I got a bot. The bot has helped me a lot since I got it on Thursday. I get good orders. Gigshield sold it to me.

    I agree , using delivery jobs as a side gig is the best way , usually, get off from your regular job and then put 4 or 5 hours in delivery jobs. Makenlike 50 to 70 dollars , we'll say 50 on average . So you got 90 from your main job and 50 from side gig , 140 a day .

      U can get that with door dash daily with the main job

    • @fendiicat
      @fendiicat Рік тому

      It jus depends. if your main job pays $18+ then yes. if ur main job pays $14-$17 and you make $20+ especially $23+ with doordash it may be better to just do doordash entirely. especially if you have an old car that can put miles. And itd be a lot more enjoyable than a regular job. The only real downside to doordash that people dont talk about is the risk due to driving with other people on the road otherwise if you find a good area you can doordash 24/7. in my area i can work from 4am-11pm and make $20 an hr

    Most of this is no longer applicable, for Dashing. DD is constantly changing policies, to benefit them, not drivers. I log my own miles and pay , with my odometer trip settings, just zero it out @ the begging of your dash, and log milage at the end of your dash. I use an Excel sheet, that I created, to log daily miles, and income. I'm ready for tax time. I also have a yearly sheet, by the month, for tax time. 😁 It only takes a few minutes a day, and I can do it on my phone, at the end of my dash.

    • @randallalderman2260
      @randallalderman2260 Рік тому +5

      I only use DD for now but considering Grub Hub too. I would assume that the Grub hub app sends you a notice and you just look at it the same way you would look at a text you get if you're using DD. But if you accept the Grub Hub delivery then just pause your dash on Door Dash. Shouldn't take longer than 30 minutes to do a delivery. Then after the GH delivery, resume your dash time on DD
