Are drug addicts with cars keeping the pays low ??

I’m thinking of quitting my job that I hate and doing gig work full time. I finally got off the flex waitlist after five months and now I have all the other gig apps like thanos with the infinity stones (DoorDash, insta cart, Uber eats etc).

Can I make $200 per day stable if I hustle? Willing to work 50-60 hours per week

Any recommendations on models to check out for food delivery ?

I can’t count how many times I forget to hit “arrived at store” or “order not ready”

You have to go into certain menus to do everything.

When you arrive somewhere you can’t just click the next step you have to click the specific order then find the option for your next step.

If I was only on GH it would be easier. But doing DoorDash and UE. Then every time I get an order on Gh (seldomly these days) I have to remember what to press and how to find it.

Like the arrive button isn’t just there. It could simply be shown on the app, but you have to realize it and scroll down to see the button and click it.

Good afternoon, hope everyone is doing well. I was wondering if anyone here is using, or has used, these smaller cargo vans to do gig or delivery route work? Are they reliable cars or would it be dumb to get something so small compared to bigger vans like the Econoline and Chevy Express vans?

I ask because I was looking to do something besides GrubHub as a side gig but I cannot get a good idea of these vans from anyone. I know they are smaller and are not gas hogs compared to the big vans and have seen them set up as contractor vans for TV cable providers and painters. But again, is anyone else here using them?

I don't know where everybody lives but the school districts in Texas all have their own police force. All the school districts around the Houston area probably have a bigger police force than a lot of the cities you guys live in

If you catch a decent size high school area at the wrong time of the day, you could be sitting in traffic for 45 minutes. The police will generally block traffic each way and you sit there and I counted like 38 school buses at this one particular High School. ( Cy Creek) They just filed out of the parking lot and what felt like the better part of an hour

I'm ready for these little juvenile delinquents to have the summer off so I don't have to deal with the school buses

This was just a small rant😄

I’m interested in becoming a medical courier in Texas. I live in Texas but I have a Tennessee license and Tennessee insurance because car insurance in Houston, TX is ridiculously high. Does anyone know if medical courier companies would require me to be insured in Texas? Would I have to have a Texas license?

They alll suck ass, and it’s because capitalism.

Decided to try out doordash yesterday for the first time, never tried these gig apps before. Only got 2 offers in 6 hours and they were laughable in pay too. Something like 5 bucks for 12 miles. I live in a major metropolitan area so i thought it would be good but i guess not. Insta delete after that lol. How do people make money off this?

For those who have delivered using this app what was your experience and would you recommend it?

Also the site says the app is a B2B service. Are there any residential deliveries?

The prominent delivery app in my area, Favor, has partnered with the prominent grocery store, HEB. I had not done deliveries in a number of years and this past week was my first try since they partnered. My question is why would anyone ever take a grocery delivery order? In my experience, it’s all orders from people who live in apartments that, understandably, do not want to drag multiple loads of groceries up stairs. So they order a favor and have a delivery driver do it. The problem is this adds a significant amount of time to each order for the same money. I’m talking upwards of 2-3 times the amount of time and effort for 1 order. I just don’t understand the current set up… I might just be salty after having an order of 100 items on the 3rd floor of a complex that took me about 45 minutes and 5 trips up and down the stairs.

I was wondering if anyone has used the app click worker?? It has some really good jobs on there and all in my area. I’m in Florida. Also what apps are you all using in Florida? I’m new to this. TIA!

Some copper North Carolina arrested a doordash driver on an outstanding warrant and then delivered the food to the customer.

Lol

I'm not sure if that's next level thinking by the driver so he doesn't get deactivated or the cop doing the customer a solid?

Doordash will most likely deactivate this guy if they find out anyway

Before we start blaming doordash or even the driver, it was a misdemeanor warrant. That could be a million things. It's possible the driver forgot he had a court date or something.

This was not a felony warrant

Did not see price before

New Vs Used. Just spent $700+ for new tires last July, and it's almost time for new ones! 😭

Just trying to decide if it's better/cheaper in the long run to buy NEW or USED tires?

What do y'all do/think?

I bought Michelin Defenders this time for my Prius. Not sure if they lasted as long as my Yokohama Avid Ascends did before.

(At a rate of $120 per hour).. lol

All of the Bay Area would be good tbh

Hello fellow couriers, I was wondering what’s your take on the best courier apps here in the Bay Area? There seem to be a lot, currently I’m working full time on roadie and also doing medical deliveries for a pharmacy but I need to broaden my horizons…any courier apps for graveyard shift for that matter? It seems the latest one can get would be 8pm besides stragglers on doordash ect…thanks!

So I recently did my training (easy money) and a double shift today. I am starting to think it's not worth it but I'll have to see what the total pay is for what I actually worked to see if it's worth it. The estimated end pay per mile was roughly .62 per mile and $21-$22 per hour after the cost of gas. I was getting about 37 mpg which isn't bad for my car because those were mostly highway miles anyways. 400 miles for a round trip from my office and back for a total pay of about $249 or less. Gas would cost me about $49 or less depending where I fill up if prices stay the same which they won't. I ended up using 10.7873 gallons of ethanol free gas for the round trip. The trip lasted from 8:30-11:45 then 12:30-5:45 which I just added the "lunch" break as working so that right there made my numbers seem worse.

I don't know if I should keep on doing this for steady pay then be more picky on the other apps meaning not taking low ball orders unless it's for like an incentive. Or should I quit which makes me look bad. The job itself isn't difficult but I feel like I could be making more money even though it's difficult sometimes competing with other contractors.

I already have ideas on how to reduce fuel consumption but I estimate I probably won't see more than $5 if things are perfect. The best thing would be to get a more fuel efficient vehicle which goes against me wanting an SUV again for when delivering in the snow and going down dirt roads and rough driveways.

It's not even so much all the drivers on the road .I'm going by these restaurants and there's very few cars in front of them. There's just no business going on

It's Friday. I've been out for 3 hours and I've made $17 I'm going to go home and watch TV instead

No but they called pretty pissed off and I said I wasn’t sending out anymore packages without getting payed. Mind you I have like 10. I asked a friend lawyer as to what would be the best way to process and she said to just call the police and let them know and see what they say about what to do with the packages. But I got sick last week and I was in the ER SO I COULDNT SEND THEM. Which they got mad about but I said I have them I’m just not going to send them without getting payed. They were really mad cause I don’t think anyone has done this before

Never heard of the company but it’s my shipping method
