I really want to see Doordash, Uber Eats, Shipt etc. Give us a company vehicle for us full time gig workers even if it's like 15% less pay. That would be golden!
That will never happen. They don't make money that way. Just move on to another company or industry. These companies were never meant to be full time jobs.
I don’t think they do this for ever, because they are extra greedy
I started 2019 and made $80-90 in two hrs. Now, 2024 maybe $50-$60 2 hrs. It sucks. That’s with both DoorDash and Uber eats.
Well what makes you think this work should pay 40-45 an hour ? Lol 25-30 seems more reasonable for the requirements
Same the amount back then was crazy af now its just fucked. But now i just do them to keep me occupied on my offdays and for gas.
You have to be exaggerating. If you're consistently making that much, full time. You're making upwards of close to 6 figures a year delivering food and saying it socks 😂
Me too
@@HaikesXOwtf is wrong with you to think underpaying people a living wage isn't ok
IMO Peak for delivery was during the pandemic. 2020-2022. Back then I could do $150 in a single evening of like 4 hours. Nowadays it’s like $50 in an evening and $150 on the weekends cross my fingers.
It still works for people that must have a flexible schedule or for extra money.
I need to take care of children I am not so lucky with family help so I work they are at school and when wife arrives from work. It helps me out. Make 1200 a week.
I appreciate all your advice! Thanks for what you do.
Best one yet. Very informative 👍
My advice is to not waste your time on these apps they pay badly and you just waste your time trying to get a good order
The first half of December 2023 it was slow and I was struggling but then the second half of December I was on fire. December 2023 was my most profitable month ever in 2 1/2 years of doing this.
Mike have you gone over strategy regarding dead times? Taking small orders within a few miles for $3 $4 $5 dollars like Starbucks, etc…doing a full week of 40 hours twice to see an average day in your market. I do just Uber eats and have found I also look at every hour as individual hours…maximize your hour by hour I try to take the $4 to $5 orders as long as they are within 2 miles. Meaning if you know your area well after time you can estimate how long it will take to get to the restaurant and then calculate the miles from there…you get paid your miles to the restaurant so know your mileage to the pick up spot and the miles to drop and then make your decision. There are times when it takes more time to get to the restaurant than it is to drop! Then stick around the drop point a little while to see what you can get. It’s the little things!
Mechanic and Service writer for repair shops that work on all makes and model of vehicles.
99 out of 100 times the vehicle breaks down because lack of maintenance. The vehicles maintenance guide is there for a reason.
Most people buy used cars that have been abused or neglected because its impossible to know the condition of the internal mechanism for that the vehicle was exposes to for years prior.
Most people just know that if you put the key in and turn it on and go. There is a thousand mechanisms and chemical reactions that needs to happen every second for the car to work, and it function is consistent enough with proper car.
Nothing is perfect and nothing is fail proof but it helps to pit a few minutes to do safety and function checks before driving and to learn the basics of trouble shooting or simple as changing out a tire, patch a tire and so forth.
My market rarely has ever had bonus pay. That’s probably why my earnings haven’t changed much year over year. I do admit it got real slow from mid October to mid December but then it picked up a lot. Now I’m January it’s back to normal.
Thanks for the great advice Mike. After watching some of the UA-cam channels about food delievery, I’ve started to be more strategic with what orders I accept and pay more attention to the dollars to mile ratio. My hourly average has gone way up. Not dashing during slow times also helps me be more efficient with my time.
Feb 2024 Uber eats delivery is about $15-20 an hour avg. But they try and pay out as little as they can...
Thanks 👍 I'm going to try to qualify right now
New sub mike Pittsburgh im in PA to so you got my support i do wilkes barre and hazelton aera in PA sometime ill come out and you can show me what im doing wrong lol.
Thanks Mike I really learned a lot from you. I am in York Pa and now beings that my engine blew I'm back a the educate phase and working on my other side hustle which is pod like coffee mugs tshirts hoodies. You have a lot of good info thank you for sharing.
Live in eastern Washington, been thinking about uber eats or something like that just looking for starter advice like what app to go to and stuff. Im only looking for enough money to hold me over until until I can upgrade from a casual curior at FedEx to a part time or full time worker.
I have a question. I applied for spark and I was denied. And I don't know why. I have a good driving record. But I do have a misdemeanor that's over 8 years ago. I was told after 7 years it would not be seen on the background check. Help me
Dispensers at every store is different, not just the store but each wmt employee will try to enforce whatever rule they feel like. Been sparking for three years and for the first time an employee said I should stay in the car. How do I verify missing or damaged items, or scan labels? I'm not crawling over the seats to do it. That rule should be for customers not spark drivers.
I started last summer and did really well: Most shifts averaged $25 an hour but also had shifts where I made $30-$40/hour. Didn’t do many shifts over the winter but now that the weather is nice I’ve been trying to get out more and noticed a significant drop off in offers and quality of offers. Tried to do a lunch shift today and got an offer for $21 for 21.5 miles. Really??? Got frustrated and quit lunch then went back out at 5:00 for dinner shift. I was out for 90 minutes and got one offer: Made $6.50 for a 1.6 mile McDonald’s delivery. That’s it. So yeah, the golden age is over.
I have a hybrid vehicle and I want to make some extra side cash would you consider a viable option as my car does not waste that much gas as well as living in a populated city and not having any other way of making money today specifically?
Do it brother just don't take any orders less than $2 a mile
I have a hybrid too and it really helps. Another benefit is that, when waiting on offers, you have climate control without burning gas. Sweet!
Mike I have problem with DoorDash. I’m originally from California went to Arizona but could not dash everything was working. I called DoorDash for a whole week. They said that I needed to go to a hotspot or to start at a new location. Have you ever ran into anything like this now I’m back in California and still having gotten a head from DoorDash. Just wonder if that ever happened to you cause I know what Uber eats. You cannot go to another state and do Uber eats only DoorDash you can.
In 2016 I was making 35-50 and hour average and now 15-25. On peak days I was making 50-70 in 2016 and now on peak days I make 25-45 an hour. I live in el paso. Now as far as taxes I write off all meals while driving, car washes, gas, depreciation, maintenance, and cellphone.
Same, easy to have 1k weekends only working bar rush
Could you please advise me on the best side apps and mileage trackers out there? I’m about to start dashing, and just discovering about this.
Thank you!
I just started Dashing. They told me that I earned top dasher with Dash now any time. Huge lie. It almost always says schedule but nothing is open in my town to schedule. I'm disgusted.
The schedule slots for DD are almost a week out (I think its 6 days) and come unlocked (in my area) at 3pm in the afternoon. (Verify that is the time it unlocks for you firts) then set an alarm daily for it (might be a different time in your area BTW). My schedule unlock times have shifted bouncing around from 9pm at one point to midnight (when I wasn't driving much) to 3pm lately. (So I think they mess with the times and or their might be levels of schedule time unlocks based on the amount driving you do for them) Best of luck.
@Sasparillafizz thank you. Looking into a different side gig at this point. If I'm not busy and dash now comes up I will go dash. But with no overtime at my day job I have to have a side income.
I’m thinking about starting as an Uber driver what do you guys think, what would be the most effective way to make money from it, times and if I should use multiple apps ?
It's not a good idea. But if you choose to, you should start with one app first. Learn how to use it and make the bonuses. Then learn the second app.
Two years ago, it was easy to make $35 an hour. Now, if your market is not in high demand for dashers, you’re struggling to make $20 and hour. Multi-apping is the key but can be hard with that some days too.
I agree that multi apping is best
I only have one issue with this. Anyone doing these apps knows full well. They are destroying their car. Whether they have one car two cars or five cars. The problem only lies if you have one car and cannot afford to replace it. The depreciation you take on this is already paid back to the tune of twenty eight cents per mile from your deduction. The problem is people spend that because they think That is theirs it's not it belongs to their car. That is how you will go broke doing these
Can you say some about the greedy Uber why pay less than the mile you drove? Do you think the company is saturated ?
Uber make’s millions and the hardworking driver gets peanut’s sad
DoorDash needs to be moved wayyyyy down your list.
For me having thousands of deliveries under my belt I can honestly say money has gone down. Even this year compared to last year has been a fairly large difference. Now don’t get me wrong if your aggressive and a go getter . Also willing to throw a couple bad orders in the mix on your shift then hitting 100 in a day is still possible . Keep in mind that’s maybe 6 plus hrs a day for my city. Big events and weather will still change a day and add more orders giving you a better chance to kill it on a shift.
100 bucks in a day before spending 20 bucks on gas is a joke. Not to mention wear and tear on your car
And 20 percent for taxes
@@41933 never said it was worth it to everyone . It’s not the same in every spot money may be worse or better depending on many variables. If it’s a joke don’t do it
In my city, if I work 7am to 7pm, I can make $200 to $250 on a weekday. On weekends, $250 to $300.
Do I make this working 6h to 8h? Hell no. Only 10h to 12h.
For me is not super tiring. But I know some people cannot take shifts that long.
I know that one can earn more than I do. The thing is that I started using gig apps less than 1 month ago.
They flood the zone with new drivers so the old ones get frustrated and leave. Sooner or later no one will be left that will want to work for them after being screwed.
Im new to this im doing amazon flex after work right now i did it for 3 days made 138 in about 5 hours 27 bucks a hour i made 19.99 at my full time job driving forklift I find it fun to get out of the house and drive lol do I think its worth it I dont really know but its fun i guess lol
lol I dont know why im on my kid account lol
Please do a video on sparkbots are they real I watch the same guys go and do one shop and deliver after another why I sit here with nothing consistently
I want to know that also. The same thing happens to me. I was also wondering if acceptance rate matters
@@Sunshinelove111 I don't see how it could. Because if you talk to a lot of the store associates they'll tell you a lot of these people bring back 1/3 of their orders.. cuz they can't read or speak English.. if they can't find the place the GPS will let you be down the street Mark arrived then put return to store... You get the full payment plus the return to store payment.. you'll make more money returning the product on a no tip order. I see a lot of them switching phones I think it's more of that... One of the store associates told me they'll go around and get a bunch of people to sign up and give them a cut of the money but do all the deliveries.. so one person could have 10 accounts
Some drivers have multiple accounts plus bots that are illegal that is dishonest
.. so mike .. are you making a decent living with delivery and utube ? Just wondering .. 🤔
Some of us use it as a full time job. All you side hustle aholes who didn’t need the money ruined it for the people who actually needed the money. Being a delivery driver is no less Nobel than someone in sales, construction, healthcare or banking
I want to see you make 100$ in a shift ..instead of 2 or 3 deliveries
I made 150 yesterday in 4.5 hours. You have to hustle and put the time in.
I made $200 less in 2023 than in 2022 but that’s because I took more vacations. I spent $12 more on gasoline in 2023 vs 2022.
Yes. Our only hope is another pandemic 😂
If you have a 2009-2012 Toyota Corolla the engine and transmission can last 500,000 miles. I’d never heard of a transmission last that long.
Keep on top of fluid changes and you can go a good while
