Reminder to NOT confirm any pick up on Add on orders until u have both orders in hand…happened today at Chilis….1st order was ready….2nd order waiting over 10 minutes and was able to unassigned for no penalty…THEN confirm the 1st order and onto the next opportunity
75% of the time when I take an order out of my zone it gives me a really high paying order taking me back lol it's so crazy to see all the different experiences honestly, what works for people what doesn't, the best advice I can give is never stress this is supposed to be a very low stress job no boss all that so that is most certainly the best part of the job
Idk about low stress. I've been threatened by random food employees for asking about my order. I've gotten flat tires. I've almost been hit by drunk drivers on several occasions. Yeah you can pick your own hours but as a delivery person you are in more occupational danger than a police officer. Not to mention you're risking/using your own car...
Another good tip. Despite what a lot of gig tubers like to tell you, there's nothing wrong with going back to W2 work. If you've tried everything you can think of, and it's just not hitting in your market, stop throwing good time after bad.
Consider starting a small business. It’s not difficult, and it’s a tremendous advantage economically, the write offs are amazing. I’ve had a few for example, detailing cars. Use gig apps to fill-in while you get off the ground.
Yeah, thinking about it, this would be perfect because all of us at times need our car cleaned and it would be very easy for you to get the word out to fellow drivers. The hard part always is finding reliable, hard workers.
How to maximize your dd earnings. Don’t do it. And in Delaware some good orders but a lot of trash and dead areas that leave you in the middle of nowhere
True about markets being different. I'm in DFW TX. Im in the LOP so I keep my acceptance at 70 sometimes that means I gotta lace up the clown shoes and take some trash but with the catering orders I get it always balances out for me.
I'm in a smaller town of like 18K people in the extremely north part of Wyoming. Everything is completely different in this market, and It's been hard to try and explain to newer dasher's what they need to be requiring for orders. See way to many of them ranting on social media about no-tippers and such. I hate to say it, but I'm awaiting for Tax Time to hit and make the majority of these newer dashers quit. I've already went to a W2 job for my primary income, was disappointed that gig work has had the decline it has in my market. I will still do doordash and Walmart Sparks in some of my down time, but it is nothing like it used to be. Thanks for all the video's Pedro, It helped me become the independent contractor I am today.
Money is not meant to control people, rather it is meant to be put to work producing more money for you. You cannot build wealth without putting money in its rightful place.
Most new traders make the mistake of trading in their own without having the required skills to help them benefit from the market. I was once like that but all changed thanks to expert Brian Nelson
I don't really blame people who panic. Lack of information can be a big hurdle. I've been making more than $21k passively by just investing through an advisor, and I don't have to do much work. Inflation or no inflation, my finances remain secure. So I really don't blame people who panic.
Mr Brian is a sincere man who understands the challenge faced by beginners. I started trading Bitcoin under his guidance after seeing his interview with CNDH, he dose not request for any chargers to teach investors on how to trade and generate profit for themselves .
I'm in the north east RI my state is 5 zones I work a burbs zone it's kind of good except you can order from almost anywhere in my state to anywhere even if 30 plus miles
On Christmas I made 86 in an hour and a half off 3 back to back orders. New Years I got a 26 dollar delivery in town and the nice guy gave me 20 in cash. Made 46 in a half hour. My ar normally hovers from 0-5%
I work in Flint Michigan. Been doing Doordash for 1 year. My market is troubled with low/$$ offers. Too many Doordash drivers! Less offers per hour/no tip offers. Trying other apps but slow going. Frustrated
I was about to go back to a w2 last year. Was done with doordashes games but I got approved for flex. I was on the waiting list for a while but somewhat worth it. I average 8 to 1200 just from that app a week
I finally gave up dashing. I have a regular job but dashed on the weekends for 3 years. I’m 45 miles north of Houston and my market is flooded with immigrants that will take any order. They have 2 or 3 people using one account. It was almost impossible to schedule unless it was pouring rain. Then my zone was lit up.
@@yofasassburgers5Shut up!!! When you are living in an area and in a particular type of job you know very well who does what in your own town. In my town I can figure out who’s doing what. It’s not rocket science it’s called common sense!!!
Im in the NYC NJ area and the best places to go is the MALLS!! Anywhere near a major HIGHWAY you will have plenty of places to eat. and also the NJ shore is a hot spot and in Central nj DINNER TIME and the mornings on the weekend are busy Walmart is a huge pick up as well

Good tips, Pedro. 💯💯💯 I’m in Ann Arbor, MI running 7 apps right now. Gig economy is pretty healthy here. DoorDash is only a fraction of my gig income now, maybe around 50 bucks a week. My AR is about 30 and I still get large orders. I had to start saying NO to trash on all of my platforms & it’s paying off. Really glad I have more options these days.
@@jrew3569 I only run all 7 apps simultaneously if it’s extremely slow, otherwise I turn them on in order of highest average earnings. I usually start with Amazon Flex Whole Foods or Walmart Spark.
@@fredc8618 I do Grubhub, DoorDash, Uber Eats, dlivrd, DeliverThat, Amazon Flex & Walmart Spark. I have Point Pickup, but the orders are a bit far away from me. I turn on the highest average earning apps first. dlivrd gives me catering orders the day before which gives some structure to my gig work since DooDash doesn’t give me as many catering orders as they used to. I use standard food delivery orders to fill in gaps between higher paying grocery/package delivery/catering/shopping orders. Sometimes I do regular food delivery when I’m not in the mood to lift heavy things.
I've heard people talk about rewards. Okay, I'm a top top Dasher, f****** 97%. It was nice percentright but I don't know now but we're seeing no rewards. No diamond , fucking none of that's it , or we would get that
Plus I'm by four different grocery stores the big chains Safeway Lucky's Costco Smart & Final the Dollar Tree Dollar General PetSmart Rite Aid CVS I just happen to live in a perfect spot
Much love, bro. Been dashing since October, what about 1700+ deliveries under my belt. You’ve inspired me to share my own experiences via TikTok on UA-cam. Haven’t had any pitfalls so far. Your content is always informative and refreshing.
Sometimes i well take the $3 for a mile if it is an addon to a good order i already have. These for me will often be like $12 for 3 miles for example. Or if i just dropped off a good paying order and one comes in for $3 and the pick up and delivery are close to where i am at that makes me happy. It doesn't happen all of the time but its nice to make a $6 order turn into 9 bucks for very low driving
Been dashing 2 months, missed TD by 3 last month :(. My "zone" is approx 3 miles by 3 miles and a town of 14,000 (mostly fast food). So, as a result, I have to schedule. I schedule and sit for hours at hot spots and in between and nothing??? My stats are great 5 stars, 98-100% so what's the problem??? The next closest zone is 60 miles away, so not do-able. I'm really getting frustrated. Any advice? Thank you!
you left a state where the new program was going to start, which is shit, where they enslave drivers even more, and I saw that on your cell phone you changed status but you are on the TOPDASH program which was much better, and of course with that you don't will still suffer from this ridiculous change in Dordash's program. Congratulations, you were smart
I live in LaPorte Tx Houston area , but for the next month I will be in the Flint and Grand Rapids Michigan area working so I’m learning right now 😊 because Michigan is not an area I normally work . And dang also not gonna be used to the cold brrrr
try 7 days a week and find if breakfest or lunch is better in your area. , lock in a schedual. keep checking it every hour. and at midnight for beter times. you can hold times if you want. then delete when a better one comes threw. if your a top dasher you wont i guess.
I just started December 27th, and my market is Philadelphia. Specifically, NE Philly… what I’ve learned; -distance matters most -peak pay is crucial -$2 per mile is necessary -anything over 5 miles requires $3 per mile (5 miles = 15 minutes one way) -people don’t tip or tip well I’m still testing out different hours, day, and different zones. I recently had my best day in a new zone, but it was 6 hours of $3 peak pay
Hi I just moved in Huntingdon Valley which is right outside of NE Philly and I am having horrible luck out here. The Bryn Athyn zone is not good, the NE philly zone isnt good. Jenkintown isnt as good as I thought it would be. The Bensalem zone is somewhat better than the other ones. The tips in all of these zones are crappy compared to the zone I came from. I used to live in the Ft Washington/Horsham zone and it was so much better in that zone. I am still sometimes driving out to that zone to make money but its a bit of a drive so I am using miles driving to and from there. I think I may try the pay per hour in the Bryn Athyn zone today and see how that goes for me
@@mickeyc2137 hours definitely matter, I found between 6-9am & 5-8pm to be the best times. Also, 11pm-2am is very busy but the pay is typically low because you’ll get horrible tips
I would say the average car burns about... Let's say it burns about 10 cents of gas per mile. I will always take the $2 one mile offer. As long as I'm moving... I'm making money.
Knowing your area is huge. Learning about drive back time when delivering to an area with no restaurants and then factoring that in to your miles is a game changer.
Dude, miles are miles. Time is time. Dollar to mile AND time are equally important. Dollars per hour. Come on. If your goal is $100 a day, are you really good with taking 10 hours to do it? No you aren't. Orders have the potential of taking 30 minutes each. This is why you don't take $4 orders Idgaf if it's 50 yards. If you driving too many miles you are simply driving your clunker into the ground faster or simply devaluing your nicer car for nothing it's not cash flow if it's negative period. now you can take some borderline distances but the AVERAGE must equal your minimum which should more than cover the 67 cents per driven mile. Well more because you want your time to be paid also
im a new driver and have only been at it 3 days but in the DFW area its been Fantastic! Luckily havent had to many hiccups but those 3 story apartment buildings kill my knee! Only thing i have issues with is with other drivers at pickup locations 99% of them are rude and act as if i just stole their girlfriend or ran over their dog. thanks for the videos, your help us newbies out!!
Just remember: You arn in the Honeymoon Phase with them right now. In two months the honey moon it will be over and you will see what other drivers are complaining about. The newer drivers will start getting higher pay priority since you will no longer be like a new spouse to them etc. Then you will either take sorry paying orders to keep your top status or find out like many of us that the only way to really make a profit(which should be your goal) is to cherry pick and multi-app! This ain't a charity, Don't let them abuse you!
The issue with my location is Distance to and back to the hot zones.. I have a lot of rural deliveries, therefore I always take that travel back to the area I want to be in. I do try my best to get to an area that will possibly get me an order on the way back but that is not always a guarantee. So your example of the 19 for 11 miles, I will take that. However the only time I will ever take the 3.00 is if im trying to keep my acceptance rate up.. This is a side job for me so the Dash anytime is important due to the fact that I only have certain times to do it. As usual Pedro, you are completely on point and its nice to see someone else in the same headspace. Keep up the good work sir.
You are such an inspiration! I’m a new Dasher in Shreveport/Bossier La. Only problem I’ve had is avoiding bad practice business and delivering in high crime areas near me.
I've learned to look carefully at the map before accepting because I've had to go into bad areas too. But when those kids came out the front door excited for thier burgers... That puts a smile on my face and joy in my heart! I always have someone watching me on the app as well as Google too.
I deliver Downtown Columbia SC. Most of my trips are short. I have more of a turn and burn mentality. Make these new drivers learn for themselves. I'm not giving up my secrets, but I will help procedural.
@@GeorgeWalton-bt9pv from 11-4 prolly between 80-120. With 3 apps. DD by itself just wasn't getting it done anymore. I usually hang out in 5 points. Wish I could ban Dashmart.
Best thing is to keep a spreadsheet tracking your average hourly rate. When you have a 15/hr day you don’t feel so bad cause you know your average for the month/year is much higher and it all comes out in the wash. That’s the only thing that keeps me from losing my shit when I have a day that’s like 15-17/hr
Antioch CA about 30 Mi away from Sacramento. I just happened to live close to all the restaurants all the fast foods all the dealerships I don't have to travel I can just sit at home and put my phone on I get orders sitting on my couch
Thanks for the tips. I actually don't have a car, working on passing my driver's license so I can eventually get a car. I've been considering doing Doordash/Instacart/UberEats on the side with a full time job. I'm in the city (Massachusetts) so there are things like rush hours (I've seen this either riding Uber to work or getting on the train). My main goal is to save up extra so I can go into University and get my Master's in CS (if they approve me/allow me in since I have a non-tech degree).
I can dash from my home and get orders 2-3 minutes away, I live in a semi-decent zone.... this particular area has little to no traffic lights, 90% of drop offs are within 5 minutes... such a golden area those are the areas people need to look for imo
Hey Pedro, great tips. I am in the southeast market of Orlando. It is a good size market but it is oversaturated. You need to use your thinking cap when it comes to what to accept and what to turn down.
You’re the only guy I subscribe too man. The shop and pay orders you talked about a couple months ago are really paying off. Especially when you shop at those places, easy money.
I'm now watching this but I saw Doordash Dairies posting a video on how to make money in 2024 and I didn't get halfway thru the video before making a comment, telling people to stop listening to him unless he's in your market and hours later I'm watching your video of you saying the same thing. This is why you're the only gig subscriber I'd listen to even though I know you're not in NYC. Keep up the good work and I appreciate you being upfront with us.
I would say, depending on your market, I have noticed that if you can get your acceptance rate up enough and then get top dasher the orders that they give, you are good enough that you don’t even have to worry about watching on your mileage very much because they’re all very good and then you just have your acceptance rate stay up higher indefinitely
My current acceptance rate is 94percent... before I get the heat. I make 1.5 dollars a mile, usually 250-300 a day... My average order is 10-15 per order. The highest I saw my ar was 97 percent.. At that level, I was seeing only 15-20 per order...
WOW, a UA-camr with common sense and is able to use his brain! Love this video. Don’t listen to anyone else. They are not smart if they say anything different than this gentlemen. Thank you!
You are the best person on here with your straight up advice. Ive been doing this for 3 years in North Texas. Gonna make an average of 15 hr here, less wear and tear on your vehicle. Not making that much...
I work in a small market in the foothills of NC.. 50% of my orders will take me out of town into the countryside.. I have no choice but to drive back to town.. sometimes it might take me to another town, but it is always rural.. it can be a lot of times be a lot of driving.. 110 miles N of Charlotte..
I live in the middle of no where on a market line where i have to drive to the east or west "city" to see the market pop up. It's awful. But there was this snow storm yesterday and the dash turned every order into a +$5 delivery. Generally our orders are all over are over 15 miles and under 6 dollars. Dash by hour is now available but i live on the state line where it pays 15 a hour or 7.50 depending on if i go left or right 5 miles.
What Market are you In?
I'm in Cleveland heights now, I made $200 last night new years eve. But I still multi apped.

Started doing this last night. Don't even know what made me think of it but it makes sense lol.
Without elaborating much - nobody should take an order less than $1 mile - unless they're heading that way anyways
75% of the time when I take an order out of my zone it gives me a really high paying order taking me back lol it's so crazy to see all the different experiences honestly, what works for people what doesn't, the best advice I can give is never stress this is supposed to be a very low stress job no boss all that so that is most certainly the best part of the job
Idk about low stress. I've been threatened by random food employees for asking about my order. I've gotten flat tires. I've almost been hit by drunk drivers on several occasions. Yeah you can pick your own hours but as a delivery person you are in more occupational danger than a police officer. Not to mention you're risking/using your own car...
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 it was the “no stress” part for me! It’s been fun and I enjoy it! My son rides with me.
15 miles away 19 $ and no tip all DD pay how bout dat?
Another good tip.
Despite what a lot of gig tubers like to tell you, there's nothing wrong with going back to W2 work. If you've tried everything you can think of, and it's just not hitting in your market, stop throwing good time after bad.

I am still sometimes driving out to that zone to make money but its a bit of a drive so I am using miles driving to and from there. I think I may try the pay per hour in the Bryn Athyn zone today and see how that goes for me
@@mickeyc2137 hours definitely matter, I found between 6-9am & 5-8pm to be the best times. Also, 11pm-2am is very busy but the pay is typically low because you’ll get horrible tips
Adjusting my expectations on money per mile has saved me from having to go back to a W2 job
I would say the average car burns about... Let's say it burns about 10 cents of gas per mile. I will always take the $2 one mile offer. As long as I'm moving... I'm making money.
Great video! You really brought a lot of different aspects together in a cohesive way, thank you! This is the best thing I’ve watched for a while now.
Glad it was helpful!
Knowing your area is huge. Learning about drive back time when delivering to an area with no restaurants and then factoring that in to your miles is a game changer.
Ive had a couple of bad directions issues in ny first week with uber that cost me time. I do like the dd app better
My money makers are surprisingly McDonald’s, chipotle, and some local restaurants. It’s very interesting!
Mesa Arizona Mr.Batonyou keep up the good content
Mr. Bet On You
Middle tn here i keep top dasher so i can end a far dash and start up in another zone because our zones are skinny some areas only a few main streets.
Thanks for the tips. I’m in Bellevue WA. It’s a nice area and it’s about 4$ for 1-2miles. Is that good ?
Mine has probably 50+ towns
Branso/Hollister MO is my zone at the moment.
Long travel. Lots of 10 mile orders
Dude, miles are miles. Time is time. Dollar to mile AND time are equally important.
Dollars per hour. Come on. If your goal is $100 a day, are you really good with taking 10 hours to do it? No you aren't. Orders have the potential of taking 30 minutes each. This is why you don't take $4 orders Idgaf if it's 50 yards.
If you driving too many miles you are simply driving your clunker into the ground faster or simply devaluing your nicer car for nothing it's not cash flow if it's negative period.
now you can take some borderline distances but the AVERAGE must equal your minimum which should more than cover the 67 cents per driven mile. Well more because you want your time to be paid also
im a new driver and have only been at it 3 days but in the DFW area its been Fantastic! Luckily havent had to many hiccups but those 3 story apartment buildings kill my knee! Only thing i have issues with is with other drivers at pickup locations 99% of them are rude and act as if i just stole their girlfriend or ran over their dog. thanks for the videos, your help us newbies out!!
Just remember: You arn in the Honeymoon Phase with them right now. In two months the honey moon it will be over and you will see what other drivers are complaining about. The newer drivers will start getting higher pay priority since you will no longer be like a new spouse to them etc. Then you will either take sorry paying orders to keep your top status or find out like many of us that the only way to really make a profit(which should be your goal) is to cherry pick and multi-app! This ain't a charity, Don't let them abuse you!
I just noticed on my earnings the shop and pay orders have 2-3 dollar higher base pay. Activate that red card.
The issue with my location is Distance to and back to the hot zones.. I have a lot of rural deliveries, therefore I always take that travel back to the area I want to be in. I do try my best to get to an area that will possibly get me an order on the way back but that is not always a guarantee. So your example of the 19 for 11 miles, I will take that. However the only time I will ever take the 3.00 is if im trying to keep my acceptance rate up.. This is a side job for me so the Dash anytime is important due to the fact that I only have certain times to do it. As usual Pedro, you are completely on point and its nice to see someone else in the same headspace. Keep up the good work sir.
Good video, newbies should watch this
I would love to hear tips and experiences with people that are in the LOO / catering program
You are such an inspiration! I’m a new Dasher in Shreveport/Bossier La. Only problem I’ve had is avoiding bad practice business and delivering in high crime areas near me.
Stay safe :/
I've learned to look carefully at the map before accepting because I've had to go into bad areas too.
But when those kids came out the front door excited for thier burgers... That puts a smile on my face and joy in my heart!
I always have someone watching me on the app as well as Google too.
Happy New Year to you and your family, Pedro! I dash in the DMV area, (Northern Virginia)
I deliver Downtown Columbia SC. Most of my trips are short. I have more of a turn and burn mentality. Make these new drivers learn for themselves. I'm not giving up my secrets, but I will help procedural.
As someone who also does downtown Columbia, how much do you usually make? So fun to see someone else from here
@@GeorgeWalton-bt9pv from 11-4 prolly between 80-120. With 3 apps. DD by itself just wasn't getting it done anymore. I usually hang out in 5 points. Wish I could ban Dashmart.
Thanks Pedro! Happy New Years!! I Love Your Content! Me and My Wife Dash In New Hampshire and Love Our Community! Great Market! Dash Safe Everyone 😁
Best tip video I’ve seen so far!! New DoorDasher and subscriber!
Best thing is to keep a spreadsheet tracking your average hourly rate. When you have a 15/hr day you don’t feel so bad cause you know your average for the month/year is much higher and it all comes out in the wash.
That’s the only thing that keeps me from losing my shit when I have a day that’s like 15-17/hr
Antioch CA about 30 Mi away from Sacramento. I just happened to live close to all the restaurants all the fast foods all the dealerships I don't have to travel I can just sit at home and put my phone on I get orders sitting on my couch
Thanks for the tips. I actually don't have a car, working on passing my driver's license so I can eventually get a car. I've been considering doing Doordash/Instacart/UberEats on the side with a full time job. I'm in the city (Massachusetts) so there are things like rush hours (I've seen this either riding Uber to work or getting on the train). My main goal is to save up extra so I can go into University and get my Master's in CS (if they approve me/allow me in since I have a non-tech degree).
@gardenstatePR Thank you 💛
tip....stop doordashing
Webster Grove
I'm new to this, so thank you very much.
I can dash from my home and get orders 2-3 minutes away, I live in a semi-decent zone.... this particular area has little to no traffic lights, 90% of drop offs are within 5 minutes... such a golden area those are the areas people need to look for imo
Looking at $$$ collectively!🏆💪🏼🏆
Rule #1 of my strategy... Don't tell people my strategy.
Hey Pedro, great tips. I am in the southeast market of Orlando. It is a good size market but it is oversaturated. You need to use your thinking cap when it comes to what to accept and what to turn down.
Thank You
Chipotle is bumpin here lol
You’re the only guy I subscribe too man. The shop and pay orders you talked about a couple months ago are really paying off. Especially when you shop at those places, easy money.
Pedro this is my fave video to date!
I'm now watching this but I saw Doordash Dairies posting a video on how to make money in 2024 and I didn't get halfway thru the video before making a comment, telling people to stop listening to him unless he's in your market and hours later I'm watching your video of you saying the same thing.
This is why you're the only gig subscriber I'd listen to even though I know you're not in NYC. Keep up the good work and I appreciate you being upfront with us.
I would say, depending on your market, I have noticed that if you can get your acceptance rate up enough and then get top dasher the orders that they give, you are good enough that you don’t even have to worry about watching on your mileage very much because they’re all very good and then you just have your acceptance rate stay up higher indefinitely
My current acceptance rate is 94percent... before I get the heat. I make 1.5 dollars a mile, usually 250-300 a day... My average order is 10-15 per order. The highest I saw my ar was 97 percent.. At that level, I was seeing only 15-20 per order...
You are a great guy !
Thank you for the + idea I never knew that before
Jupiter Florida
You want us to listen to you, but yet your first rule is don't listen to content creators unless they're in your market😐😐😐
WOW, a UA-camr with common sense and is able to use his brain! Love this video. Don’t listen to anyone else. They are not smart if they say anything different than this gentlemen. Thank you!
You are the best person on here with your straight up advice. Ive been doing this for 3 years in North Texas. Gonna make an average of 15 hr here, less wear and tear on your vehicle. Not making that much...
I work in a small market in the foothills of NC.. 50% of my orders will take me out of town into the countryside.. I have no choice but to drive back to town.. sometimes it might take me to another town, but it is always rural.. it can be a lot of times be a lot of driving.. 110 miles N of Charlotte..
Asheville, NC. Some crazy gravel little roads in this mountain town. it may take and additional 10 mins ro find the house behind the house.
Jersey Shore
I got a speeding ticket at 130am when no cars on road going down a hill .4.00 order they didnt care im doordashing
Very helpful knowledge thank you
do you have to schedule ahead of time? does the scheduling matter? what is your scheduling strategy?
I live in the middle of no where on a market line where i have to drive to the east or west "city" to see the market pop up. It's awful. But there was this snow storm yesterday and the dash turned every order into a +$5 delivery. Generally our orders are all over are over 15 miles and under 6 dollars. Dash by hour is now available but i live on the state line where it pays 15 a hour or 7.50 depending on if i go left or right 5 miles.
I'm in SANTA FE NEW MEXICO
Me too omg
Milwaukee wis. The market is unique becuz we got the whole southeast Wisconsin as a market big zones lots of opportunities 😊
