You`re better off getting a security guard job watching a roll-up door or fence while watching movies all night. At least in a security guard overnight position, you`re getting paid a guaranteed wage every day, every week.
I’ve found that many, if not most drivers are intentionally being dishonest with themselves about their actual earnings, or they don’t have the skills to figure it correctly. As a rule, when asked about their income, most drivers report the amount BEFORE any deductions. - deduct your gas cost -deduct cost of wear on your car -deduct approx 25-30% for taxes and social security. -deduct cost if purchasing additional “gig” auto insurance Divide the deducted figure by the amount of hours you spent on the app- NOT the active time. 0:15 Most will see that your “take home” is equal or less than your state’s minimum wage. On the rare occasion that you had an exceptionally profitable shift and feel the need to advertise that on whatever site, this only entices more new drivers to join up because they think it’s the norm
I deduct gas and then I see what I made. Nothing else. I average 9 to 15 an hour. Sometimes 20. I usually get decent orders . You are not going to make a lot of money. It's meant for extra money not a living
I worked my butt off and finally got my AR up to 80 and my orders to 100 so since I have been platinum I’ve getting amazing orders I was out yesterday for 2 hours and made $74
That's the only way 80 and above, AR...I will never let my AR drop ever again drop bellow 80%. I had 60% AR when I started Dashing and it sucks, you get shytty orders, they know you refusing everything and won't give you good orders.

I'm in the process of doing the same! Two days ago, my acceptance rate was 4%. I'm at 39% as of tonight. My goal is to be at a minimum 50%, trying for 70%, though, so I can start getting the really good orders again, especially on the day before Thanksgiving. All of my other ratings are great (shop & regular), so once I get my AR up, I'll be making much better money. 😉

The prices they charge for delivery and they are still only offering $2 per run if there isn't a tip added... Crazy... I gave up after a few months, the first month was great.
I'd be more transparent with customers who order... They should know that all the delivery fees do not go to the driver's. They should be more up front that tipping ensures drivers will take their order, less likely drivers will decline... It should also provide estimated mileage and give a tip recommendation, say at least $1 a mile, but $2 a mile would be fantastic
Yep it goes down once a twice a year. It was over three base pay when I started but I heard a few years before that it was a six dollar base pay minimum.
I live in an area where I am like one of the only Uber Eats drivers. There are others but at night I’m like one of the only ones. One night I was curious. I opened the customer Uber Eats app and looked at one of the closest restaurants. It wasn’t accepting orders because “all couriers are busy”. I went online and suddenly it was accepting orders but at a $20 delivery fee! Meanwhile all they’d probably give me is $2.50 out of that $20 fee!

I’m a uber driver here in Houston for the past 8 years. And I got penalized and my account got deactivated the beginning of this year from customers stating I stole the food when I NEVER DID.

They are also lying to dashers about the miles for some of the orders. I accepted a $11 order for 9 miles and it ended up being 17 miles and it wasn't the first time. If everyone stops accepting bad orders then there won't be any bad orders. Platinum is a joke, no need to try to get it
I don't do doordash much mainly because I try to keep my income under $600. If I make more then I might need a 2nd 1099 forum which would cause me extra to file. To answer your question I have doordash set up to where it gose into my emergency fund. No money comes out of that account unless there's an emergency like having to get my wisdom teeth removed or if I lose my job out of the blue. By the way I finally started Walmart spark.
You do not have to pay extra for another 1099, they all get added together, and you pay one price. So does not matter if you have 20 different 1099 jobs, price is the same for 1 or 20, makes no difference.
Its beyond me why anyone still doing DD! The purpose of having a side hustle is to spend a few hours to make some money. NOT to spend a few hours sitting in your car wasting time not making money!
@kittykay8015 She does it because it makes her money off of doing youtube videos. ( nothing wrong with doing that) because no person with any common sense would do this job.
Sara - did you opt in to take Christmas trees 🎄 to their new homes? 99.9% sure that was on Uber eats today. I’m not totally sure if they put it up on top of your car and then the customer helps you get it down but I’m not taking any chances. No way in hell can I move/lift a Christmas tree.
If they would just pay better base operation would run much smoother, customers would wanna order often cause they dont have to tip 10$ to get their shot
That's because they let anyone with a pulse deliver. I think it's ridiculous that good people lose opportunities while incompetent people who can't speak English or follow directions are employed. I work next to a Burger King and Doordash drivers daily walk in and shove a phone in someone's face and they yell "Doordash" you look at their phone it says Burger King and we have to direct them to the building next door. Everyday new drivers circling the parking lot with their hazards on not understanding their own job.
You get paid per order. Secondly they only pay you $2.10 per order. I got tired of people ordering $100 dollars worth of food and you'll be lucky enough if a customer tip you and if they don't tip you, doordash will pay you $2.10
DoorDash does. its called Earn by time. In my area it varies between $16 to $17 and ACTIVE hr. So from when you pick up until drop off, you make a set amount plus tips. Personally I have been using it more and more and make from $25 yo $40 an hr, in my market.
Yes! They were great! Now ppl just get out themselves more and the ones still using it, just got used to the convenience and now don’t tip like they used to. IMO In 2020/2021 Uber Eats was my best paying/tipping app. I always made 200 or more a night on weekends. I miss those days. I don’t do any gig work anymore because it was just a waste of time for me personally in my area.
If I ran DoorDash the first and most important thing I'd do is change base pay to be comparable to miles. I would start pay at 0.90c/mile + tips. And if the zone surges you can increase it. Because wading through traffic and populated areas is increased risk and work. At the very least it would HELP make some trips make SOME sense instead of giving you trash offers you end up messing up your AR.
I feel that door dash should pay drivers accordingly to where they are located when sent an offer. Because if one driver is 3 miles from a restaurant while another driver is in the restaurants parking lot, the offer shouldn’t be the same for both drivers. If door dash sends the offer to the further away driver then the base pay should be more. But I know that’ll never happen lol when people will always take $2 orders going 3 or 4 miles 😂
I'll say this i do doordash occasionally. It is a real problem that drivers do steal food. Even me being working doordash driver. I bought a large doordash order, and it was large for me and my roommate. I tipped pretty decently because of the quantity of the order. I got a Notification stating my driver couldn't find my place so i sent a text with the address and a maps exact location. Then a couple minutes later it said my order was dropped off when it wasn't, so i ended up calling the number it range the first two times i called then the third went straight to voice mail. That driver stole a 40 dollar order with a 10$ tip. Hate to say this, but i havent tipped as well whenever i order doordash anymore even though im a driver myself.
This bothers me so much because I know it from every side... Restaurants are throwing away so much food. Drivers are going broke. And customers are getting crap service. And all because nobody can be honest about the cost of delivery. All day, I see signs offering "FREE DELIVERY" from businesses who don't employ delivery drivers. Who contract with app companies who ALSO don't employ delivery drivers. FREE? F-ING HOW?! Do I get to tell my landlord "free rent" because Little Ceasars contracts with DoorDash for something NEITHER OF THEM OWN OR PAY FOR? It's a joke at this point. Customer spends 50 bucks on food... ain't their fault they were told free delivery. This is my business, I understand wanting to blame them... but someone told them "free"... I don't blame the customer or the restaurant. I blame the ones who told my customers that my service was "free". It sure as all fire F wasn't me saying it!
Amazon Prime & DoorDash are EXACTLY the kind of thing the oompah loompahs warned us not to indulge in. Also, subscribing to UA-cam mukbang channels. We are falling so hard and honestly i imagine dumbass customers be like "why are my cheeseburgers & fries cold?!?!" 'Because you didnt get em yourself and eat it right away you SCHMUCK!'
They need to up the membership fee of dashpass to $15 and eventually $20 and pass that money to the drivers. People need to start paying for the premium service they receive. Weed out the cheap people.
I had a shop and delivery order and the customer ordered lots of spices. I was penalized because the customer says I got the wrong item for about 8 of the spices. How can that be because you can’t scan the wrong item. Every item scanned was in her cart. I called Doordash and they said there was nothing they could do. Of course this customer didn’t leave a tip.
That happened to me. I looked all over the store for an item. Finally scanned it and the customer said they didn't get it. I had another customer say she didn't get half of her grocery order but I scanned, paid, and took a picture at delivery. There is no way to dispute it.
Due to the fraud and customer dishonesty I now take time stamped with location embedded at all drop offs. I especially do this hand delivered and shop and pays. I then text the time stamp photos to the customer with your order has arrived. Then I finalize the delivery.
There's nothing they can do. They can't charge more for delivery to pay drivers more because then the cost of the meal to the customer will not be feasible to order. Ordering food from a restaurant online for a 3rd party to deliver is not sustainable. Unless Doordash was to go to a subscription model then maybe. With Walmart, customers can sign up and pay for Walmart + and get free or discounted home delivery so Walmart is making revenue from those customers that they can pay to the Spark gig driver. Doordash is just adding a fee to the food order and people are not going to keep buying if their meal cost keeps going up.
How can the customer say their food is missing when you take a photo of the food at their door or place of business, or at least drivers are suppose to, I follow a dasher on here on youtube and she takes a photo of the food at their door every time, so that doesn't happen where a customer says their food is missing.. or do they say an item of food from the bag is missing, if that's the case, then drivers need to start taking a photo of the food in the bag before dropping it off so they can't say the driver took it, it would be the restaurants fault for not putting the item of food in the bag. Know what I mean? not sure if you meant they never received their food, or that an item of food was missing..
Honestly Sara I agree with you. There is no way I could do this full time. I am luck to get more than $15 an hour on DD, and don’t even get me started on Uber Eats. I really don’t do much DD or UE anymore. I mainly rely on Catering deliveries for the majority of my $. However, I am working on getting my Life and 7:37 Health Ins license and I will be going back into Insurance which is what I did most of my career. But this time I will be on the sales side vs the claims side. I hope that by January I can give up the gig apps altogether.
Gig jobs such as these ones are not made for you to make money , as you need to work 12 hours to make some money. the platform makes the money. Business model is made that way to you burn before you earn.
Yes, Doordash obviously wants illegals instead of Americans to work for them. The majority of the dashers in my area I run into don't speak English since they reduced how much we make by 1/3 in the spring. I thought it must be over saturated but I keep getting messages they want me to refer people for a bonus
Uber eats is about to perish as soon as they do that whole tier things everywhere, the orders on there are 99% of the time just donations how bad they are
Thats weird, usually the first few weeks DD and UE gives new drivers the better orders. My first week on both was over $1500 in a week. I started them different times (few months apart) and did each one exclusively on its own. This was for about 40 to 45 hrs a week. After the honeymoon faze ended it took both apps and careful picking to make the same money, but had to do 5 to 10 hrs extra a week.
I wonder the same thing as far as coming out when it says that DD is busy but then I sit for 15-30 minutes at a time with no order. IM SO SICK OF IT!! DD needs to stop doing that shit, if there are no orders then why try to get people to come out?? Ughhh!!! 😡😤🤬
I don't use the service, I prefer my food warm. My room mate does, and they NEVER ring the doorbell, so having to tip ahead is ludicrous. His food($70 order) was sitting on the porch for 15 minutes before he knew it was there, which is BS.
Most customers do not want us to ring, so we don't ring unless specified or if it is a hand to me order.. Also the app informs customer when there food is there. So they should keep their phone on them if they know an order is coming. Or request Hand to me.
The app notifies the customer EVERY step of the way! There’s no need to ring the doorbell/knock unless you specify to do so in that neat little box called delivery instructions. Personal accountability - it’s an incredible thing and it’s FREE
I always follow customer instructions but some time it just judgment thing and you knock on the door or send an extra text to the customer. Best to track progress on the app
Here is the problem I have with the whole "illegals" argument. AMERICANS are creating these accounts and selling them to whoever. AMERICANS are providing them housing and work. Why is there nothing ever mentioned to punishing the AMERICANS who are aiding these people?
💯🎯 yep, food delivery drivers we some of the first jobs they took from US citizens. People say then we should get a more skilled job...that is until they start taking their jobs because they aren't bilingual
Can illegals get hired ? how I had to provide ss license picture insurance registration background check and not working anymore food delivery dosent pay.
DD has become trash in my area. Like I decline so many joke orders for $3 for 9 miles or $2.50 for 5 miles, supposedly in the dinner rush times. To the point they kick me out of my shift because I must not be available for orders or however they word it. I'm like, my dude, I'd love to take orders but not when I lose money. My car, my insurance, my gas, etc. IC and Amazon Flex are my go-to apps anymore.
It was a Sunday morning this morning and I made a whopping $12.75 in 2.5 hours. You would be surprised how many idiot dashers accept those $3 orders, that's why they post those orders. I used to make about $24 per hour now I'm lucky to get $15
Yeah bump all that "its busy" bs ... its busy for like 20 seconds and gone .. or its busy full of TRASH orders busy dont mean profit especially not these days
They should put a minimum on the money make on delivery that way you chose but you might have ones who tip well but don't know i had a trucking company and i set my price people need to be honest what you have to do check it when you pick it up then show customer order is. Correct to much food handling in my book do what you want but don't let them take advantage of you money wise you will know when to walk away if need to
I would want customers to see the amount that the driver is being paid especially on the no tippers. Sort of like do you actually know how much they are being paid?? Then maybe they would start being more educated. Some of them are clueless. Gotta start somewhere! I would make the base pay higher as well. Last previous weekend I came out Friday and Saturday evening 5pm to about 12am. I wait $100 each time on DoorDash. That was nice. I went home after because I didn't want to do the drive-thru's as it takes too long. Yesterday, Friday I made $50 from 7 to 10:30ish. I got on later because of another job. Saturday was bad. Only got 3 orders and only took 2 since they were decent. Went out same hours. I think the key for me at least is starting around 5. I noticed that there are more orders between 5pm and 7pm roughly. It's hard though because of my other job. I try my best though.

I love how people say if I have a couple free hours during the day lmfao that's the period where you're supposed to enjoy yourself and LIVE 😂
trump must end all "temp work permit" programs
Sara - did you opt in to take Christmas trees 🎄 to their new homes? 99.9% sure that was on Uber eats today. I’m not totally sure if they put it up on top of your car and then the customer helps you get it down but I’m not taking any chances. No way in hell can I move/lift a Christmas tree.
If they would just pay better base operation would run much smoother, customers would wanna order often cause they dont have to tip 10$ to get their shot
What's crazy is the Big Corp always benefits in the end
Hey Lady , well at least you've got good weather ! All we can do is get ready to go out and hope we have a good day .Have a good night .
Just had a door dash, $12.33 for 30 miles
🤣
😂😂😂nope
That's because they let anyone with a pulse deliver. I think it's ridiculous that good people lose opportunities while incompetent people who can't speak English or follow directions are employed. I work next to a Burger King and Doordash drivers daily walk in and shove a phone in someone's face and they yell "Doordash" you look at their phone it says Burger King and we have to direct them to the building next door. Everyday new drivers circling the parking lot with their hazards on not understanding their own job.
The more dings you take they definitely give you better deliverys lol 45 for 3hr is crazy
All they're really doing is selling cheesecake to Door Dash drivers.
😂
Definitely agree that this is not a full time job they ruined it we use our car and gas we should be properly compensated
Last night I got tons of offers but most weren’t worth taking. I made $55, just banking in tips growing before Christmas.
Army paydays in killeen texas are a gold mine
We are quitting because the dasher saying are we are taking the food dasher is not backing us up. They are penalizing us
Wow good information. Thank you
You get paid per order. Secondly they only pay you $2.10 per order. I got tired of people ordering $100 dollars worth of food and you'll be lucky enough if a customer tip you and if they don't tip you, doordash will pay you $2.10
Wow, and y'all are still working for them
That sucks. Maybe they need to pay an hourly rate like waitressing.
DoorDash does. its called Earn by time. In my area it varies between $16 to $17 and ACTIVE hr. So from when you pick up until drop off, you make a set amount plus tips.
Personally I have been using it more and more and make from $25 yo $40 an hr, in my market.
Delivery services were most profitable during the pandemic.
Yes! They were great! Now ppl just get out themselves more and the ones still using it, just got used to the convenience and now don’t tip like they used to. IMO In 2020/2021 Uber Eats was my best paying/tipping app. I always made 200 or more a night on weekends. I miss those days. I don’t do any gig work anymore because it was just a waste of time for me personally in my area.
But according to Tony, we can open an orphanage with the $2 DoorDash pays us! 😂
Yeah Florida seem like a shitty ass market lol
If I ran DoorDash the first and most important thing I'd do is change base pay to be comparable to miles. I would start pay at 0.90c/mile + tips. And if the zone surges you can increase it. Because wading through traffic and populated areas is increased risk and work. At the very least it would HELP make some trips make SOME sense instead of giving you trash offers you end up messing up your AR.
.90 cents a mile is a joke you realize most won’t take anything nowadays unless it’s $2.00 a mile
I agree. People ordering food over 5mi from restaurant need to Pay Up! I'm sick of these $9 for 10mi crap
@@menards23ableI think he's saying base pay $3 plus 90c a mile. Then a 5 mile order is $7.50 min before tip
I feel that door dash should pay drivers accordingly to where they are located when sent an offer. Because if one driver is 3 miles from a restaurant while another driver is in the restaurants parking lot, the offer shouldn’t be the same for both drivers. If door dash sends the offer to the further away driver then the base pay should be more. But I know that’ll never happen lol when people will always take $2 orders going 3 or 4 miles 😂
I'll say this i do doordash occasionally. It is a real problem that drivers do steal food. Even me being working doordash driver. I bought a large doordash order, and it was large for me and my roommate. I tipped pretty decently because of the quantity of the order. I got a Notification stating my driver couldn't find my place so i sent a text with the address and a maps exact location. Then a couple minutes later it said my order was dropped off when it wasn't, so i ended up calling the number it range the first two times i called then the third went straight to voice mail. That driver stole a 40 dollar order with a 10$ tip. Hate to say this, but i havent tipped as well whenever i order doordash anymore even though im a driver myself.
This bothers me so much because I know it from every side...
Restaurants are throwing away so much food. Drivers are going broke. And customers are getting crap service.
And all because nobody can be honest about the cost of delivery. All day, I see signs offering "FREE DELIVERY" from businesses who don't employ delivery drivers. Who contract with app companies who ALSO don't employ delivery drivers.
FREE? F-ING HOW?! Do I get to tell my landlord "free rent" because Little Ceasars contracts with DoorDash for something NEITHER OF THEM OWN OR PAY FOR?
It's a joke at this point. Customer spends 50 bucks on food... ain't their fault they were told free delivery. This is my business, I understand wanting to blame them... but someone told them "free"...
I don't blame the customer or the restaurant. I blame the ones who told my customers that my service was "free". It sure as all fire F wasn't me saying it!
I disagree! It’s all about location. Take pictures of all deliveries.
I’ve been dashing a few months. When does DoorDash pay? I’m still waiting on a pay check.
Oh wow
I quit having delivery and just go and do take out. Dominos adds 4.99 delivery charge plus they expect a tip for their overpriced food.
Amazon Prime & DoorDash are EXACTLY the kind of thing the oompah loompahs warned us not to indulge in. Also, subscribing to UA-cam mukbang channels.
We are falling so hard and honestly i imagine dumbass customers be like "why are my cheeseburgers & fries cold?!?!"
'Because you didnt get em yourself and eat it right away you SCHMUCK!'
DoorDash giving 10k relief funds to restaurants but can’t increase dashers base pay
And y'all are still choosing to work for them
If I owned DD I would definitely pay the drivers way more and this not paying on two deliveries is ridiculous
They need to up the membership fee of dashpass to $15 and eventually $20 and pass that money to the drivers. People need to start paying for the premium service they receive. Weed out the cheap people.
I've been done for over two months. Still make 💰 with Spark, Roadie and Shipt. Stay safe
Saw 2 uber orders that had been sitting for like 4 hours
It’s a crap shoot with gig work.
One order,same restaurant. 2 drop offs and $3.75 no tips 😕
Many stores or companies that started on Amazon ended up taking their stuff off of Amazon due to dishonest returns.
I had a shop and delivery order and the customer ordered lots of spices. I was penalized because the customer says I got the wrong item for about 8 of the spices. How can that be because you can’t scan the wrong item. Every item scanned was in her cart. I called Doordash and they said there was nothing they could do. Of course this customer didn’t leave a tip.
That happened to me. I looked all over the store for an item. Finally scanned it and the customer said they didn't get it. I had another customer say she didn't get half of her grocery order but I scanned, paid, and took a picture at delivery. There is no way to dispute it.
Due to the fraud and customer dishonesty I now take time stamped with location embedded at all drop offs. I especially do this hand delivered and shop and pays. I then text the time stamp photos to the customer with your order has arrived. Then I finalize the delivery.
Thanks for the ad 😂
There's nothing they can do. They can't charge more for delivery to pay drivers more because then the cost of the meal to the customer will not be feasible to order. Ordering food from a restaurant online for a 3rd party to deliver is not sustainable. Unless Doordash was to go to a subscription model then maybe. With Walmart, customers can sign up and pay for Walmart + and get free or discounted home delivery so Walmart is making revenue from those customers that they can pay to the Spark gig driver. Doordash is just adding a fee to the food order and people are not going to keep buying if their meal cost keeps going up.
I drive enough with my 3rd 1099 retail job. No way do I want my vechile smelling like food.
How can the customer say their food is missing when you take a photo of the food at their door or place of business, or at least drivers are suppose to, I follow a dasher on here on youtube and she takes a photo of the food at their door every time, so that doesn't happen where a customer says their food is missing.. or do they say an item of food from the bag is missing, if that's the case, then drivers need to start taking a photo of the food in the bag before dropping it off so they can't say the driver took it, it would be the restaurants fault for not putting the item of food in the bag. Know what I mean? not sure if you meant they never received their food, or that an item of food was missing..
Honestly Sara I agree with you. There is no way I could do this full time. I am luck to get more than $15 an hour on DD, and don’t even get me started on Uber Eats. I really don’t do much DD or UE anymore. I mainly rely on Catering deliveries for the majority of my $. However, I am working on getting my Life and 7:37 Health Ins license and I will be going back into Insurance which is what I did most of my career. But this time I will be on the sales side vs the claims side. I hope that by January I can give up the gig apps altogether.
Gig jobs such as these ones are not made for you to make money , as you need to work 12 hours to make some money. the platform makes the money. Business model is made that way to you burn before you earn.
I'm so glad doordash rejecting my app. That's crazy!!
Yes, Doordash obviously wants illegals instead of Americans to work for them. The majority of the dashers in my area I run into don't speak English since they reduced how much we make by 1/3 in the spring. I thought it must be over saturated but I keep getting messages they want me to refer people for a bonus
It’s getting hard to make money with Uber eats these days here in Vancouver Washington. 😣
Uber eats is about to perish as soon as they do that whole tier things everywhere, the orders on there are 99% of the time just donations how bad they are
Full time dash as needed choosing what you want to make not a full time job it's extra job
They do this also specifically in my area pushing more grocery orders.
Just started 2 weeks ago. Been doing DD and Uber Eats. Only made $100 between the two in a week. Terrible. That is $100 for 7 days of working.
Thats weird, usually the first few weeks DD and UE gives new drivers the better orders. My first week on both was over $1500 in a week. I started them different times (few months apart) and did each one exclusively on its own. This was for about 40 to 45 hrs a week. After the honeymoon faze ended it took both apps and careful picking to make the same money, but had to do 5 to 10 hrs extra a week.
In my market I’m thrilled to make 100 week
Are you actually going to work? $100? Maybe you should consider holding a cardboard sign 😜
I think its because doordash actually steal the tip from the customer and use it to pay their end of the fee.
The offers are just terrible. And there are a bunch of drivers in my area. It’s highly competitive.
It's almost as if the service is unnecessary
I've only ever used these apps to pay off excess bills and saving up $$ for a cruise we are getting ready to take.
I wonder the same thing as far as coming out when it says that DD is busy but then I sit for 15-30 minutes at a time with no order. IM SO SICK OF IT!! DD needs to stop doing that shit, if there are no orders then why try to get people to come out?? Ughhh!!! 😡😤🤬
Louder for the ppl in the back seat sis! 😂💗
I don't use the service, I prefer my food warm. My room mate does, and they NEVER ring the doorbell, so having to tip ahead is ludicrous. His food($70 order) was sitting on the porch for 15 minutes before he knew it was there, which is BS.
As a customer, you can also track in the app. Unless it specifically says to ring or knock, most drivers don’t.
Most customers do not want us to ring, so we don't ring unless specified or if it is a hand to me order.. Also the app informs customer when there food is there. So they should keep their phone on them if they know an order is coming. Or request Hand to me.
The app notifies the customer EVERY step of the way! There’s no need to ring the doorbell/knock unless you specify to do so in that neat little box called delivery instructions. Personal accountability - it’s an incredible thing and it’s FREE
I always follow customer instructions but some time it just judgment thing and you knock on the door or send an extra text to the customer.
Best to track progress on the app
DoorDash has been so trash!!!! I haven’t taken an order since Aug!!! Let’s see what happens in the winter..
People getting lazier and fatter sitting around wanting everything to be delivered for free. Smh
TOO MANY ILLEGALS IN THE MARKET. TRUMP BETTER GET TO WORK
Here is the problem I have with the whole "illegals" argument. AMERICANS are creating these accounts and selling them to whoever. AMERICANS are providing them housing and work. Why is there nothing ever mentioned to punishing the AMERICANS who are aiding these people?
Same thing in my area I ordered food it said Maria young Hispanic some big old Mexican dude dropped off shady
💯🎯 yep, food delivery drivers we some of the first jobs they took from US citizens. People say then we should get a more skilled job...that is until they start taking their jobs because they aren't bilingual
Can illegals get hired ? how I had to provide ss license picture insurance registration background check and not working anymore food delivery dosent pay.
Well said Sara
DD has become trash in my area. Like I decline so many joke orders for $3 for 9 miles or $2.50 for 5 miles, supposedly in the dinner rush times. To the point they kick me out of my shift because I must not be available for orders or however they word it. I'm like, my dude, I'd love to take orders but not when I lose money. My car, my insurance, my gas, etc. IC and Amazon Flex are my go-to apps anymore.
Get a timestamp carema then the costumer can't say you stole the food. Had it happen a few times got wise to it.
Elizabeth coming in strong with the ''Paid To Drive'' clickbait.
It was a Sunday morning this morning and I made a whopping $12.75 in 2.5 hours. You would be surprised how many idiot dashers accept those $3 orders, that's why they post those orders. I used to make about $24 per hour now I'm lucky to get $15
Tampa got many opportunities. Walmart Spark and Drop off is good too.
I just needed to spend $1200 fixing my car. This job puts WAY to much wear and tear on your car.
That’s why you teach yourself how to fix your car. I’ve saved thousands fixing mine myself
@@Jake1chaplin Wish I could.
I do most of my deliveries on a bicycle. I am in better shape. Only take my car on the longer distances ones that are worth my gas and time.
DD gets my attention for 1 order every 3 months so they don't deactivate me.. backup app 😅
ALL hand it to me orders should have a pin number.
Yeah bump all that "its busy" bs ... its busy for like 20 seconds and gone .. or its busy full of TRASH orders busy dont mean profit especially not these days
I think its just so many people doing it because nobody wants to really work a real job
They are disrupting the orders, so people go back to work. This was meant to help paying off certain bills, not run full time.
Part time should still be adequately compensated
@ true but most want to start a career with an app that’s not made for!
@iissac22 who said... I started it and that was my ft job for 2 years
@@jamiemichelle1291 not all areas are the same. I have made so much one month and less than half the next. As top dasher with high ratings also
If it wasnt for fulltimers these apps wouldnt function. They need the fulltimers. People working one hour a night dont do much
They should put a minimum on the money make on delivery that way you chose but you might have ones who tip well but don't know i had a trucking company and i set my price people need to be honest what you have to do check it when you pick it up then show customer order is. Correct to much food handling in my book do what you want but don't let them take advantage of you money wise you will know when to walk away if need to
I would want customers to see the amount that the driver is being paid especially on the no tippers. Sort of like do you actually know how much they are being paid?? Then maybe they would start being more educated. Some of them are clueless. Gotta start somewhere! I would make the base pay higher as well. Last previous weekend I came out Friday and Saturday evening 5pm to about 12am. I wait $100 each time on DoorDash. That was nice. I went home after because I didn't want to do the drive-thru's as it takes too long. Yesterday, Friday I made $50 from 7 to 10:30ish. I got on later because of another job. Saturday was bad. Only got 3 orders and only took 2 since they were decent. Went out same hours. I think the key for me at least is starting around 5. I noticed that there are more orders between 5pm and 7pm roughly. It's hard though because of my other job. I try my best though.
