Thank you for motivating me. I'm not a dasher, but seeing you handle every situation leads me to believe I can accomplish more than I give myself credit. ❤
You can! Just do it!
I feel the same way that's why I watch her channel and chuck from " dashing across America" yt channel
About the mileage… it isn’t necessarily actual costs, but the amount the government will allow you to deduct instead of individual expenses like gas, oil changes, tires, etc. It also accounts for depreciation since all the miles we (fellow dasher) drive makes our car less valuable. I do this deduction because it is easier than remembering how much I paid for gas, etc. I hope that makes sense.😊
Got it, thanks
@@themeatymama Yes, the 67 cents is the mileage deduction for your taxes to reduce your income tax. You should be entering mileage on your taxes. If you haven't done that in the past, you should amend your taxes to reflect the mileage you are driving for the delivery apps.
Fellow dasher here! If you resume your dash before the timer runs out, then pause it again, you should be able to keep your scheduled dash and stay paused. Hope this helps!
I thought that’s a trick every dasher must know
Yeah, I know. Just didn’t realize how much time had passed. 🙂
@@themeatymama happens to me, not infrequently.
I have my timer set to 32 minutes. Each time I pause I TRY to remember to also start timer. Otherwise I'd forget every time. Lol
You have a great attitude. I do no think I could handle that job. I do on line grocery shopping but not restaurant. Stay safe
One time I went to pick up at Chipotle and I saw my order sitting on the shelf with the name on it and everything but I had to pee really bad so I went to the bathroom first. In the time it took me to pee and come out, a thief stole the order. I had to wait for Chipotle to remake it. I was so mad.
I’m not a dasher, don’t plan on it but I really enjoy your videos. Glad you’re back in the car, back on a dash.
Your destination is on the right - "I see it"
The customer requests that you hand them the order - "I will" 😂
I think my favorite possibly was GO ! PRO!! 😂
I think they average things like new tires and brakes that costs alot but not need replacing often.
Yay I love it when you post videos makes my day better
Hey mama. Next time you come across the same situation , just double tap the screen in a corner and it will let you complete the delivery steps without calling the customer again.😉
Glad you guys are home and son is ok 🙏and you’re back on the road. Ty for your videos 😊
Oh- another cost- your phone!
Glad you are back and hope your son is doing well
Yay! You were able to dash for a bit. Missed hearing you say GoPro! Lol
You can get a cool fan that will hook over the suit hanger handle for 12.98$ at target
Happy to see you back on a dash
Happy to see you dashing again!❤
The 67 cents per mile also includes maintenance, wear and tear, and depreciation. With the current price of gas and the gas mileage on my car, it costs me 20 cents per mile to drive. That leaves 47 cents per mile for expenses. I just paid $500 to fix an oil leak and replace an engine belt. At 47 cents per mile, that's equal to 1064 miles. Oil changes, new brakes, new tires, new battery, etc are all figured into the 67 cents per mile.
It’s great to have you back at it because you’re so fun to watch and listen to (and it means your son is better). I bet it felt strange after all that time. I agree about excessive speed bumps!!😂
Hey Mama, hope you had a wonderful Easter with your children 😊
It also is for semi tractor trailers as well I think. 67 cents a mile is what they will reimburse you if you use your car for business. You can deduct that 26.00 that you made. It's a tax write off. Either miles or true expenses. Usually miles is a higher deduction.
So to pay no taxes you would want to earn 67 cents a mile. Taking $2 a mile leaves profit.
I think it is for all kinds of vehicles too. Any vehicle used for business.
So happy to see you back on a dash and that your son is better
Wooohooo! 🥰🥰🥰So happy to see you back in the car! You can be anywhere, I just enjoy seeing you being you.😍😍😍The orders seem to be just as bad there as I remember them here. I have so much fun watching you shop Mama. I couldn't do it to save my life.😂😂😂You make it look fun and easy. This was so enjoyable Mama! Thanks! Can't wait for the compilation videos☺
Yeah a new dashing video 🎉😊
Not even five minutes into the video and there's already two "GO PRO!'s 😂 Love it
Yay!!!!So glad you are back!!!! Missed your videos. You are so inspiring!!! Welcome Back😊
❤ so glad to watch your journey again you make me laugh 😂 when you start yelling out loud, you are an amazing mama and all that you do
You have to have insurance either way if you dash or not 🤷♀️
😂
I love your videos.
Glad to see you back!
Welcome back❤
Hi Meaty Mama! Love your videos! Take care!
Yay! You are happy. ❤
Thank you for your dash video. It seems very stressful to me, but you seem to conquer every situation. Love watching all the places you drive around to. The UK is so different, but we still have stupid people.. 😆 Can't wait for your next video.. love and light 😇
I was just thinking about you and here you are.❤
🥰
How awesome that your son is doing so well, and you can get back out there! I'm happy to watch any content you put out though. 😊❤
Next week on “meaty mama” on channel ABCD 10 PM eastern time… meaty mama sings opera!!
Dashing has been terrible in the Bay Area lately, there’s tons of dashers everywhere!!! I made $6 today in 2 hours!!! I have a complaint how come so many no tippers lately?
Well the fees for everything in general food delivery related but also for those who would not choose to punish the actual person doing the work even if they don’t realize how little we get… many have read articles about some states or cities in other states such as California and Seattle, Washington, where they read numbers like 29 something and they don’t know what an active hour is nor do they know it is already two months later or some thing down to 17 something per active hour.
I’ve often thought despite a lot of people on Facebook disagreeing when I was on there for a bit as I occasionally I am but hardly ever anymore- but there are like the general fees and taxes and there’s a delivery fee. I just personally think you wouldn’t need to be the dumbest person on earth think that maybe all, or at least a good portion of that, went to the actual driver in some cases personal shopper.
I dash n UE and I personally think the pay is insane and if I was ordering well, I would still tip…. I definitely would tip more. Probably if I knew they were making two dollars or just not gotten it if I couldn’t afford it. I mean who would really think that? Or eight dollars per active hour. So if something is ready, we’re almost ready and it tasted like 10 minutes to get there. I’m not gonna do the math because I’m lazy and it’s too depressing.
Also, double check if they switched tips to the end of delivery instead of at the point of ordering like in New York City. A lot of customers did not like that. Never mind the actual Dashers.
Glad you are back at it! And, so cheerful today!!
New subscriber and I’ve been binge watching your videos! Love them! ❤😄
Thanks for subbing!
@@themeatymama you’re welcome ☺️thank you for the videos and content!
Just watched your video before doing the Uuub's😊 Thanks for the motivation.Great to see you out and to see things starting to get back to normal.❤
Welcome back
You’re not considering depreciation of the car (you will likely need to replace it much sooner because of the increased mileage).
She's right! Depreciation on the car is your biggest expense!
Woohoo!!!!! Welcome back Meaty Mama❤️
Glad you’re back! Best to you and your family!
Madam you are among those I call my heroes for everything you do and never complain.I hope you are all doing well and that God sends you His Blessings+help+ hope.Take care and have a great day.We see you online and we know all your struggles and never lose hope.Keep it up!
You gotta watch out for those Chipotle hooligans! 😆
.67/mi is what you can write off on your taxes to reduce your taxable income
This is going forward for this year though, right? Or is it 25 actually? Well I read something about it. I just don’t remember the details. 😂 I thought it was $.63 for 23 and I remember reading about 63 one year and then 64 and then 67 but I’m just not sure which year each one is for. I think I thought it was 63 because people are referring back to last years whenever they would talk about it on here. But that when you sat down to do it by miles it was actually 64 for 23. And so the 67-ish for 24 I think. But if anyone knows exactly otherwise, I’m sure we can easily look it up.
I never understood the idea of contact-less delivery when there is, like you said, LEAVE AT MY DOOR. What is the frickin point? And the extra steps don't even make any sense. Just because it's contact-less why do they think the customer would not want us to "leave at the door" and require extra instruction as to where they want us to put it? The whole thing is just ridiculous. Rant over. lol
You keep me motivated by your videos and you’re hella funny lol 😂
I agree. I've never seen so many speed bumps like I see in your videos. Would drive me nuts.
Oh, come over my zone. 😂 a couple of streets in particular, which are not some kind of major great place but I think it’s more and more the closer you get to the water…. And there’s one street that a bunch of different blocks veer off of. And you can get a bunch of different street addresses and you get to that part of the directions and you’re like oh no. Especially since DD seems to have stopped adjusting arrival time based on when the food is actually ready. I’ve had one minute to go like 3 miles. I mean I’m not flying I know it could come running out of the house along that road as there are a number of large houses, which I would assume families live in. But I also don’t need to like come to a complete stop like every 10 or 15 feet for like a mile or two at least as far as I’ve ever gone on that before turning off.
I don’t know what percentage compared to average we having my whole town with his rather large, but they definitely are lurking.
It’s annoying, but just joking around like obviously if it saves one kid’s life or keeps one car from ending up in the water it’s worth it!
Happy to see you back on the dash❤
I know exactly what you mean about dangerous stairs.. I have been delivering for pizza hut for 2 years now and thats happened to me several times lol at the same apartments too... it scares the crap out of me every time!
Yea a new video to watch!!! Glad to see you back on a dash!!!!
Nope DD only gives $2-3 . So I do like 4 a day and rest of day I do UE. I was out yesterday from 8:30am til 5pm and only made $100. Love to see you ❤️
Great to see you back! Keep the videos coming.
Good morning from Malta welcome back 😊
I'm glad y'all are back at home while getting back on track. You overall is in my highlights here😍😀
Back to it🎉🤑
I once delivered up steps on the side of an apartment, about 20 steps up and it felt like I was gonna go through each step and 2 of the steps were completely missing!!! I was holding onto that railing for dear life! Oh and they were covered in snow too. In hindsight I probably shouldn't have gone on them 😳
Reading this made me laugh
But I’m glad u are alright but sometimes you gotta be aware at times tho
@@kxfromga5359 you mean we have to be more assertive. Because I’m pretty sure she was aware then. But just trying to get the delivery done. I have a customer sake, and her sake whether it was onto the next one or time to go home.
But you had to get a reminder for all of us that if it’s scary assuming we are reasonable people that you could tell them you can’t afford to make XYZ issue whether it’s a shoulder discs in the spine, whatever worse and so, could I please have the customer meet you downstairs and see if that’s possible. I mean it’s not usually a quadriplegic ordering. If they have a valid reason why they can’t I don’t know what the app would do but I feel like it would be on them to figure something out at that point. You shouldn’t have to put your life at risk or bones.
You will start to pay for all those things when your warranty expires. And your mileage increases etc. You may not be using that 67c allowance now, but you will later on. And possibly more!
For example, last year my windshield cracked twice. $500 deductible to replace twice. It adds up when items are not covered on warranty. 2 tire repairs etc. My warranty just expired. Oil change etc. $195.
Also, your car is depreciating year over year.
The above is why many gig workers eventually leave gig work. Your viewers are giving you excellent advise! Listen to it...
Welcome back!🎉❤
I live 40 minutes south of Atlanta and dash Tuesday April 2nd was bad here I think people spent a lot of money on Easter plus mortgage is due.
I agree that the contactless delivery is a pain! I have had to deal with that several times, what the hell DD! Love your videos mama!
That was on Uber eats right?
Soo happy to see you back!! 😊
Nice day.
You are a good person, calm not angry like alot of people..hope your son is doing well. I can empathize has the mother of a special needs adult.. Enjoy your videos.
darn hooligans! great to see you out dashing again
Meaty mama I'm so glad that your son is doing much better now. Glad to see you back and getting back on track. Blessings to your family Meaty.
Happy to see you're back dashing!! Love that song during your Winn Dixie shop. Hello to the family!!😇❤
So many times it’s contactless delivery but they come out so it still wants a picture . I take one of my steering wheel.😂
😂😂😂
I tell them I have to take one for the app. Nobody has ever denied me in over 3 years of this! CYA! 👍
You should carry a little notebook with you. Then every time someone gives you a code to get in a gate or apt., write down the address and code. Then when you deliver there again you won't need to get the code from anyone. I do that and it has saved me countless problems getting in different places. Also, I laugh out loud every time your go pro falls and you yell at it. LOL
I like the music!
"show me the address..." 😂. You know how to say it. 😊
You should play the song On the Road Again
Too funny, I just heard that song tonight, I hadn’t heard in years
I think your mileage write off for tax purposes is 67 cents a mile..maybe they were unclear
I’m so HAPPY you are back ❤ I pray for you and your family every day. I’m glad my prayers are being answered 🙏 Have a wonderful day y’all!
Just fyi. With that contact less delivery deal. I get a lot of those. If you already have instructions or already called. I just press that call button, then when number displays, back out of it, where ya dont actually call them, and system acts as if you did just call them. Then can proceed with taking picture and leaving comment and that's always worked for me
I’m thankful that I don’t have to rely on minimum wage jobs like this to survive. I’m currently not working due to illness but because of income insurance I still get 92 thousand a year.
Love watching your videos ❤
Welcome BACK to the grind! First, welcome home and now welcome back to the dash and the ubes. Oobs. (OK I’ll go with how I saw someone else spell It bc the first way just looks yucky.) 😂
I would’ve not blamed you if you had taken it a number of days to get your equilibrium, if nothing else but happy to see you and I know you can be trusted to not overdo and take care of mama too!
You had me laughing as usual quite a few times.
Tuesday night is usually a slow night. I usually take that night off.
I think the government gives us $.67 a mile as a tax right off every car is different some people get much better gas mileage than others
2024 that means going forward it’s gonna be a good year gd willing!
The mileage deduction is nice, but you need to go above and beyond the standard deduction on your Federal IRS filing in expenses to start seeing a benefit. The standard deduction is quite high these days, so many people do not even reach the deduction in expenses to have an advantage.
I love watching your videos! I feel like I can do this too! (Just gotta do some car maintenance first to start) Keep up the great content! ❤😎🌻
The .67 per mile is deprectiation you claim on your taxes. Thats a good thing.
Taxes.
Don’t forget taxes.
They aren’t taking out for taxes.
❤❤❤❤
Everyone’s taxes are different. The standard deduction last year was $13,850.00 for single filers. I don’t drive enough miles per year, nor would I, to write off that many miles. I also don’t have near enough deductions to itemize business expenses above and beyond $13,850.00 for gig work. Let’s face it, most expenses are for fuel. I’m not trashing my vehicle for DoorDash. I took the standard deduction and still owed the IRS due to self-employment taxes. Unless you have more than the standard deduction to write off in itemized expenses, you will most likely have to take the standard deduction, even though you’re required to itemize your business expenses on your taxes for the sake of the IRS. Don’t let the 67 cents per business mile allowed for 2024 fool you into thinking the IRS is somehow rewarding you. In the end, most gig workers end up owing taxes, especially as a sole proprietor.
FYI. You do NOT have to itemize to take the mileage deduction on your taxes as a sole proprietor. You can do the standard deduction along with business expenses and the mileage deduction.
This is your friendly reminder to verify everything with an accountant or tax professional and not just believe whatever you see online.
@@mschaefer4656 I am not grabbing information from “online.” It comes from personal experience. From the IRS, “You should itemize deductions on Schedule A (Form 1040), Itemized Deductions if the total amount of your allowable itemized deductions is greater than your standard deduction or if you must itemize deductions because you can't use the standard deduction.” Again, if you don’t have more itemized expenses than the standard deduction, you take the standard deduction. The whole idea of itemizing is to reduce the amount of taxes you owe. If you only have, for example, $8,000 of allowed itemized deductions, you would obviously take the standard deduction. Long story short, you either itemize or take the standard deduction, whichever method lowers the amount of taxes you owe.
What song is that? I love it.
Glad all is well with your son and you're back on the dash. However, good luck catching $2/mile orders. I think those seem to only happen if the customer tips a lot.
Keep a foldable grocery cart in your car to deliver heavy groceries all in one trip to their door
All those costs should be tax write-offs too
💯💯💯
I was doing doordash earlier. It was a good shift. 9 deliverys . Mostly 2 deliverys in a hour , some days same time frame I get 3-4 . Other dats it's 2-3 .
But this I've been the woolworths 14 times and Coles
People are commuting between 5 & 6 pm. 6 to 8;45pm usually nets $100 in my area
❤❤❤
Hi Meaty Mama!
So what I do I blacklist the places that are not acceptable. I have a same area that has flimsy stairs and that is prone accident. I am safety number one first therefore, I keep track by putting notes on my phone of all the black list places that are not safe for me to go to Survive ever see that location pop up. I remember it and I’m like nope.👍🏼
❤
I get top dasher every month.
Ubereats I tend to do around 12 or 13 of every month for 2 weeks then rest for one day and then ubereats for the remaining days til end of month
Why complain aboit the 67 cents. Thats the part that you wont be taxed on.
Maybe stick a small battery operated fan on your dashboard aimed towards your face to keep you cooler.
I still think a regular job would be better than using your car all the time,
