A Week in the Life of an Uber Eats Driver -- Full time, Pay?

[@NikkiMarieVlogsNMV]

Hey y’all, first of all thanks for watching my video! 😊 There’s been a ton of questions asked and I have done my best to reply to a lot of them. As for why I do this and not regular Uber it’s just my preference not to have random people in my car. I quit my Amazon delivery driver job a few months ago and have been enjoying the freedom of doing Uber Eats. It’s not the best but it works for the time being until I find something better. If you look at how much I made and deduct taxes and expenses you can see that Uber eats doesn’t pay well. Props to anyone out there making it work longer term but for me it’s only temporary. There is a lot of great information in the comments. Thank you to everyone who did the calculations and put them down below.

Hi! I have been playing the Uber Eats delivery / passenger game and I can add to this for you. Deliveries are best during extreme weather conditions (then you can hit McDonalds and make many micro trips) Where as recently I have gone back over to the passenger side of things. See Uber Eats servers had a nasty habit of sending me 20 mins out for 3 min delivery (not gas happy) where as I just finished a 1 hour trip with a passenger and made $68.xx. So driving people you make more money hands down vs Delivery, where as Delivery is like a full time job. while I still do both at times, that is usually only around the down times. But delivery customers are too picky. (also, these are Denver, Colorado stats)

[@cierraaaaaaaas]

If you ever want to try regular uber you could do what one of my uber drivers did. He poached uber riders from uber and did like a private car business. It was great for me because it was a little cheaper and they kept all the money. Plus they had definite clientele. His son did it too and it helped them keep their home. Like they dropped someone off at my college and then picked me up and took me to work. So that’s back to back money. And they were so nice

[@muncysarah13]

does tax get taken out before direct deposit? been thinking about doing something like this for a lil extra income but do not understand how it works completely

[@NikkiMarieVlogsNMV]

They don’t take out taxes, you will have to pay when you file taxes so make sure to put money aside for it.

[@divinedavis9150]

Hey lady. I drive Uber, UberEats, Lyft, and Postmates. I always recommend Postmates because the customers tip really well almost every delivery (at least 95%) and tips are $2.00 -$20.00 per delivery.

[@cierrairene4082]

I do uber eats in NW Illinois and for every $200 I make, I spend $40 on gas! I never owe anything in taxes because I have an app that tracks my miles. I can also claim any meals I eat on the road, and maintenance as business expenses. My advice to you is to get an app to help track your miles so you don’t owe much in taxes, if anything.

[@ThreadsofBlonde]

Cierra Irene what app do you use?

[@cierrairene4082]

Jessica Kilgore MileIQ

[@Cococonutt]

Can’t you prove your mileage by each drive on the app?

[@cierrairene4082]

Pickeledcoconut yeah it records every drive for you and you say whether it’s business or personal

[@blairbushproject]

You can also use quickbooks self employed. It’s pricey but you can deduct it as a business expense. It tracks mileage and your expenses. And you can file and pay quarterlies. So I use that. I haven’t tried the other app. But it does save your yearlies. And you need that if you are ever audited.

[@stringerbell1702]

It's certainly not a thing to do forever, but it's a good way to make some type of way to make income between looking for work. It certainly beats $0.00 a day.

[@hunterraoulduke]

That is true.

[@BEASTLYDROK]

I do doordash and working 36 hrs you would be lucky to make 360 no one tips and if your late 20 min because of someone else’s mistake or inability to get the food on time most people cancel and they barely compensate for gas and now that it’s becoming more popular they quit doing their 3 hr breakfast bonus hrs and lunch bonus hrs I used to do it back when it was new and worth doing but I did it recently and worked 4 hrs and only made about 40 bucks when u take into consideration gas oil changes and other things it’s honestly just a waste of time and if you don’t have a job are you really gonna risk damaging the 1 thing that gets you from a-b?

[@keishas7434]

Thank you Rebecca! If she was begging on the corner they would be saying get a job. Like wtf? If it's not for you just don't do it.

[@gloocat]

I don’t see the lie 😴

[@jeffreykaufmann4625]

If you wanna work for less than minimum salary then work for uber eats.They fired me after two days cause I cancelled too many trips. Trips that were too far away where I would be wasting my time and not get paid enough.

[@lizardgreen2121]

please tip your uber driver even if it's a dollar. We risk our cars and getting into accidents to bring food to you. It's much appreciated

[@youngoldman6964]

lizardgreen2121 amen

[@sababajwa93]

Tbh lots of ppl don’t even have a dollar

[@lizardgreen2121]

saba bajwa then how do they have money to order out? lol if you can afford to get food delivered you have enough to tip. Same with dining out

[@sababajwa93]

lizardgreen2121 I disagree as a college student although I never used uber eats I have used uber and I don’t have extra money if I paid them enough that should be good enough that is the whole point of uber to not get a taxi or take the bus when u have no ride. That’s y it’s cheap $4 or so... sometimes cheaper

[@cgletts]

@@sababajwa93 you from toronto?

[@brendagallegos9102]

Everyone is saying $500 a week isnt much... but shes not even working a full 40hrs. If she had kids then she can spend time with them also. I work 40 hrs a week make $480 a week. And i work 30+ min away, and put around 800 miles on my car a week.

[@mayanalien]

She is leaving home at 10 am, stopping for a bit, going back out to make more deliveries, and getting home at 10 pm. Not sure where you could fit kids into that window. She's also not actually making $500+, she's making closing to 380 after taxes, gas, increased insurance and wear on her car. That's just over $10/hr for a 12 hour work day. That's below minimum wage in a lot of places now. It's a great gig, but not anywhere close to worth the trouble. Great vlog though, she has a knack for this.

[@oliverclosoff686]

Damn. I make 1,000$ a week. 40 hrs and I don't drive my own car or my own gas. Woop woop

[@mayanalien]

@@oliverclosoff686 you probably have benefits as well. People forget to factor that in. Vacations, sick days, health care, and even bonuses are huge advantages of working for an established company. You can't deny her hustle. I hope she finds a great career to grow in, since she seems to have some drive, and understands finances and the real world.

[@otto432]

My mom makes $720 a day. College is key i guess

[@vlKenzo]

johnny123 college can earn you $90 an hour but owning a business can earn you $900 an hour

[@mysticsnomar8805]

392 for a full time college student who honestly just need extra money while going to school, 300 a week is not bad if u ask me

[@richl1319]

Omar Suriel I need that

[@thepsalms2806]

EXACTLY I'm think in gonna do this

[@prosperity.]

A honest hustle to get thru college, is better then student loans!!!

[@rodpruitt8926]

When we factor in car maintenance, Uber does not seem to be a very good deAL. You're killing your car.

[@dannydaw59]

The car itself isn't free either. The cost of the car while you're working should be factored in too.

[@rastamole]

All true, but when you drive to your regular job you are still putting on miles and burning gas. In my case I live so far from my work I probably use the same amount doing UE and GH part time as I do just driving to my regular job. In the end you use your car for everything so it helping you make money in return is acceptable imo.

[@afaketwo]

rastamole if it saves you from sitting 2 or 3 hours a day in traffic ... Its well worth it. .

[@mike88g1]

rastamole no bc u are driving the shit of it all the time like a taxi. Can’t compare a shitty job to a career. I feel for ppl who work for uber or door dash or any of those services. But that’s life and ppl are desperate

[@gnc907]

mike88g1 i wouldn’t call those people who work on those platform desperate. I say if it pay the bill then so be it. A regular job say it pay you minimum which is $11/hrs here in Cali that’s before tax, gas, all the other expense that you can’t write off. Is probably a lot less then $11/hrs too.. I been doing Uber eat, doordash, and Instacart for about 4 month doing 4-5 hrs a day and earn an avg of $600-$750 weekly minus gas which is $60-$70 a week. I use to work at a warehouse getting paid $11.50 and at time work from 9am to 7-8pm for a couple day out of the week and on those day that I don’t do those longer hours is always a full 8 and I am taking home $750-$850 every other week which is less then Working for This kind of platform..Yeah when is all add up it may not pay a lot but is doesn’t take much work on your body and don’t have a boss breathing down your neck. On top of that if I ever need it more cash I can always work more or needed a day off I can always take it without asking anyone.

[@kimalexander8703]

Only one of the seven trips tipped on monday? That’s a damn shame. If people can’t afford to tip, they shouldn’t order delivery

[@herculesrockefeller2984]

Agreed. I live in a super wealthy area and Ive only had 3 tips out of 26 deliveries. I'm making less than $5/hr to destroy my own vehicle and mcdonalds starts at $12.50 an hour.

[@rascal211]

The food costs enough already and then the charge to use Uber eats . I am not tipping.

[@LuxeLurker]

The wealthy suburbs surrounding DC are the absolute worst when it comes to tipping... instacart, rideshare, food delivery... I've done them all to compare. Those areas just do not tip. Even those in the nuisance gated communities. I stay closer to DC and middle class areas where my efforts are appreciated.

[@LuxeLurker]

@@rascal211 then dont use the service. People are looking at these apps as an entitlement because of accessibility... it's still a luxury where someone is doing you a service

[@mwbgaming28]

Tips are not a right, tips are meant for exemplary service, not for service that is just satisfactory Americans need to learn how tips are meant to work FFS

[@bemartythree6589]

Thanks Nikki totally transparent open and honest vid, good job. I just see this as survival money to get us by, but the hustle is real.

[@UGJaelRose]

Keep going, Nikki. It's not what you make it's what you save. God bless you

[@yvettequarles5375]

Nikki thank you so much for posting this video. I am getting ready to begin my Uber Eats journey for supplemental income and you have been very helpful! You definitely work hard for the money and I don't think people really appreciate how hard you guys grind for such a small pay. The wear and tear or your car + gas is enough to pull your hair out! YOU ROCK!!

[@NikkiMarieVlogsNMV]

😊thanks

[@MarksTech]

ouch :( ... 532 dollars a week, and 84 dollars in gas and 450 miles on your car! definitely not worth it full time. i do lyft, but only when i want. for example, i needed some extra cash for a plane ticket to europe. so i did lyft for 3 days and got the needed pocket cash. boom. last year i wanted to buy a new gun lol.. so i did lyft for 2 days, and boom.. got the cash. so from now on i just use those types of services only when im too lazy to spend my own cash so i work like 3 hours a day until i get it lol.

[@i_overstand5102]

So what do you do full time then ?

[@MarksTech]

RUBESTER PRANKS homeland

[@elwelkin]

I did Uber when I wanted to go to school, I learned that Europe goes with capital E

[@jm361]

surviving comes at a big cost to some more than others, not everyone's "hustle" is the same.. It is what it is, welcome to the jungle (life)

[@MarksTech]

saul gonzalez I did Uber when I wanted to go to school; I learned that “Europe” is spelled with a capital “E”. I think that’s what you meant

[@Sssweet.evil13]

Don’t order delivery if you can’t tip! You can’t be angry at the drivers that they’re not paid enough. I get satisfaction from paying my drivers more than uber does

[@Wilonaful]

I drive for UberEats sometimes. The key to making the money when doing UberEats is I only go out if the pay is 1.3 the pay and that’s rare if I do that, but going out when the pay is 1.4 and higher is ideal. Also you want to go from 11am-2pm “bam” $60 at minimal $55. Then go back from 5pm-9pm where the pay is always 1.4 - 2.1 that’s at least $80-$100. in 7 hours $130-$160 a day. At least $600-$800 a week at only 35 hours a week.

[@mwbgaming28]

Tips are a reward for exemplary service, not a right Uber pays you to deliver my food, if you don't like the pay rate, complain to uber Learn how tips were meant to be used (You are doing it wrong these days)

[@bdWongsWang]

Wow, I’m shocked so many people don’t tip! WTH?!

[@ratherbenapping10]

leoni rads its common curtesy. people need to stop being cheap. of they don't want to tip don't get delivery get out of your house and go get your own food

[@hpsevenjuly]

leoni rads agreed. That’s why I don’t like getting things delivered through Grubhub/postmates/uber eats, etc. that much. cause the price is too much for me with delivery charge + tipping. Like I’d rather not even order anything and pick it up myself rather than put myself in a situation where I feel bad for “not tipping” or “not tipping enough”. I still tip if I’ve ordered from these services in the past - cause I understand that delivery fee isn’t their tip, but it’s still super pricey ordering food delivery.

[@ab25lt]

Rene umm the delivery fee is them paying so they don’t have to drive themsekd

[@RenlinkMorales]

it calls for saving money. I'm paying you to deliver the most easiest thin you can do. if they are cute then yeah i tip

[@HannahCobana]

That's what I was most shocked about too! I always choose the highest tip when they give you the three options

[@DustinIsDriving]

I always see people talking about miles on the vehicles... they don’t realize how much of a great tax write off they are. Keep doing what ya do and stay safe out there.

[@cassa7267]

How do you get a tax write off?

[@spookysailorscout]

@@cassa7267 you can download mileage tracking apps and put it in your taxes as a business expense or something

[@WestonWongFusion]

It’s like turning your Car in to a company car while driving Uber or lyft

[@cs1458]

+Uber Driver 101 ....yes, they probably do. Doesn't always matter when you factor everything else in. The mileage deduction defrays, but you are talking like you profit on it. Also how many 1099s are forgoing health insurance, commercial vehicle insurance, etc... I respect the job as much as anybody, but at least be objective.

[@teenyverse7707]

How you can you be objective, a comments is nothing but opinions. Like really? aha ahaha.. being objective on a youtube comment section... hahahahah!!!

[@Collierslife1]

You have a terrific work ethic. I really admire how organized and disciplined you are. You are making your time work for you, in your own way. Bless you a d stay safe out there.

[@linda7345n]

You have such a good attitude, even though you go through all this. Glad you have a YT channel to also help supplement your income.

[@JeepBoiFL]

$4 in tips on 7 deliveries! I almost forgot how nasty cheap people are up north.

[@nailsbysandeemore7036]

There that way everywhere

[@TheBikemaster94]

Find your local wealthy community, that's what I would do if I was in this business.

[@NikkiMarieVlogsNMV]

It’s definitely paying the bills right now.

[@traceybear]

Definitely appreciate how you check the order and make sure everything is there. You don’t know how many times an Uber eats driver has forgotten a coffee or tea or side 😔 technically could be the restaurant forgetting too but if you check it makes everything easier.

[@NikkiMarieVlogsNMV]

We can’t open the actual food container.

[@lifeventures6651]

Another thing is sometimes the app is incorrect. I’ve noticed it has left off customer’s drinks repeatedly, so there’s no way for the driver to know. Ubereats needs to upgrade their system. Smh

[@rtfriend]

Thank you so much for making this video!! I've been entertaining the idea of driving for Uber as a second part time job, but until now, I thought the pay would offset the time, effort, gas and added mileage to my car. You just saved alot of time and effort. Thank you so much!

[@kayairel]

I've watched hundreds of delivery service videos, and yours by far is the best. I love how detailed you were with the info this really helped me out a lot. I plan on trying out uber eats or door dash once I move and get a new car

[@NikkiMarieVlogsNMV]

Thanks so much!

[@MrLeAnthony]

I use to do Uber Eats a lot but my income vs expenses did not make sense. I do DoorDash now; it allows me to work in a smaller area, so I save Gas. I do Dash Now more than schedule myself. You can schedule in for an area, this prevents saturation of driver so everyone can make money. For areas that need drivers, there is no need to schedule in, you can Dash Now. I average $15-$20 an hour here in Houston TX.

[@blackbeauty8034]

For me door dash isnt any better!

[@beyondcharmed]

Much respect for you doing Uber eats, I’m a regular Uber driver and I hated Uber eats!😂 I make 5-6 hundred a week too, to me it’s worth it and I love the freedom! Much love! Keep Rollin!😁

[@ranbirro2]

For 7 hours I was making $150/160 some days $200 back to back trips id even get multiple trips in one delivery there would be like 2-3 to drop off to at once this is in Brandon FL in Tampa I wasn’t getting these rates but I was in Clearwater Wesley Chapel and Temple Terrace although Uber trips are way less spaced out in Brandon for me it was one another another within a street block So my best advice pick a densely populated suburban area where there are a bunch of homes apartments and restaurants within 1-2 street blocks

[@JK-ur5bt]

i'm thinking of doing grub hub or uber eats for side money and i'm in the tampa/brandon area as well.. how do you like it?

Incredibly hardworking, much respect for you, hope you get a permanent job that pays really well, but in the meantime as long as this is paying for what you need, that is all to worry about. It won’t be long til you find something better, with your work ethic, nothing wrong with doing this job or any job, as long as it is healthy and you are happy, it gives money whether a banker or a cleaner its money, don’t let anyone bring you down.

[@AboveAlways]

I love your channel! I found it from an Amazon driver search. I was offered (contingent) a job driving directly with Amazon. They gave me a start date, but it didn't allow enough time for my background check to come in. I think they just wanted to have a bunch of people on call for 4th quarter. I haven't tried Uber Eats yet, but I do drive for Uber and Lyft. Uber driving actually put me in a Maserati Friday lol. That was pretty cool. You never know where you'll end up with Uber driving.

[@Joshua79C]

As a full time thing it is not worth it, its meant only to make extra money on the side as most use it for, then again you also have to take into account many will tip you which you also have to take into account.

[@gabrielacharneco1763]

for a college student needing to make some extra money it seems worth it

[@simplyadventures1732]

Its not. You can apply for other delivery services thatll pay you a minimum amount per hours and make more money.

[@CrazyLocoInsane1]

I only see it being worth it if you already have a good paying job and just want to make a little extra on the side. You can pick when to work and how long to work and your just dropping off food. Having no bosses makes things a shit load better too.

[@simplyadventures1732]

@@CrazyLocoInsane1 i agree but in a way you do have a " boss" just not in a trational sense. Yes you work for yourself. BUT these food delivery companies make it to where you have to follow their rules and they are able to fire you/ take you off the platform if they want to for whatever reason.

[@preppsterswag]

Thanks Nikki, this was super helpful cuz I live in the same area and just joined Uber Eats today. Best of luck!

people saying this isn't worth it, stfu. It's not worth it to YOU. You have no idea of her lifestyle. I live in a three room apartment with my brother and a friend. We split the monthly cost and it comes out to be about $600 each. If I were to do this and make the same amount of money(which there's no guarantees but I do live in a highly populated and decently wealthy(high middle class) area) I'd be making 1,200 a month after paying rent and gas. That's plenty left to pay for anything else like insurance and car payment. And the car can be used as a tax write off(milage, gas, oil, maintenance)

[@titusnixon]

Uber eats, Doordash, Postmate, and Clavier are all about the same you spend your wheels trying to stay above water. These so gig economy jobs blows the winners are the Company not you. These jobs keeps you poor. After driving 40 hours you should make enough to pay your rent. I drove for Lyft 2010-2016 the first five was great after that I was making less and I had to let it go, the bills piled up I.e. Tickets, drop pay, repairs, and more drivers means you are now just a sucker.

[@dannydaw59]

Do any of those employers limit the saturation of drivers in any one area or do they let it run free?

[@Norrr3]

True

Some gig economy jobs are great. Mine lets me work from home, set my own rates (around $50/hr), plan my own schedule. I've been doing it for years. It is not a driving job though. Driving jobs are the worst because you need your car to make your money, but every time you work, your car becomes less valuable and more worn out.

[@Annabanana6819]

This is an okay job for someone like me (a student) who only pays $700 a month including utilities, because I have no time to work a regular job because my classes take up too much time. I like driving and I do doordash, if I worked 35 hour weeks i would make plenty to pay my rent within two weeks. It’s a low stress job with ultimate flexibility in the hours and that’s the only reason I do it lol. Otherwise not worth the time if you have actual bills to pay.

[@titusnixon]

Anna Georgiou and that's okay for a student, I would also do it, but not for a adult with a family and children's

[@GeneralN0va]

It's better to work at Domino's. You get your hourly rate, then you also get tips and millage(money you get for gas and car wear(mostly for gas though)). I usually get $10 an hour in tips most of the time more, rarely bellow $10. and I may do 50-100 miles a day, depending on how busy we are. I only work 3 days and about 20-23 hours a week and I get about $300-400 by the time i put my money in my bank. The next week. So by the end of the month I'm about $1400-1500 usually. sometimes more, just depends what people tip. And remember, if you can't afford to tip your driver at least $3 then don't order food, go to walmart, spend $20 and you have food for a week(the same amount, or less, you were going to spend on one meal).

[@reneehuckaby1740]

GeneralN0va yeah but u can’t work when u want

[@RX7JG83]

[@thechopper9958]

I live in Glendale California I used to do uber eats part time and I was making good money to be honest but I stoped doing it on August 20 th 2018 because they changed the rates it’s horrible they have lowered the pick up and the drop off fee so bad that it’s crazy and also the pay for the miles the only thing that they added is pay for the time but it’s stupid cuz most of the deliveries are in a short distance and they pay 15 cents per minute like for example on a regular delivery that is not far or not that close I was averaging $7 on a delivery now with this new rates it’s like $3.50 a delivery it’s a scam

[@rastamole]

Just do UE on boost times. Its worth it then for sure. Off boost forget about it.

[@gnc907]

rastamole yeah I don’t do Uber eat when is non boost hours unless I need it the trips for my goal trips to get the promotion pay.

[@reneehuckaby1740]

The Chopper yes.. the rate drop is terrible.. I don’t understand their logic for this. It’s like they punished UberEATS drivers for good behavior. I am so disappointed in them regarding this issue. I hope they give that increase back. A lot of people have stopped bcuz of it.

Look into it. Your area is booming with freight and drivers that need good people like you. Good luck to you.

[@MrPjcrews]

@@dcartiair , just saw your reply. If I were you, become a private load dispatcher for drivers. Many owner operators need dispatchers to work for them. Get trained. There are some companies here on KZbin that train and pay you as you get going. One that I watch will even let you keep your clients as you build your book of drivers. They are good. Text me your number @ 916.eight.three.8.-two.two.74 and I will send you who I have been watching that can help you get started. When you text me, say who you are and how we met so I know I'm texting with you D. Talk to you soon

[@shamarab4632]

@@mariejae Uber pays for damages so it's not that bad.

[@jemmrich]

I wonder if registering as an LLC would provide some benefits to make it more attractive. Pay expenses first like gas, car maintenance, cell service. Those are business expense. Then pay yourself dividends to save on income tax and what's left as profit is then taxable which would be a fraction of what's left. I'm no expert though and I don't live in the USA not sure if that would work for you.

[@skyeric875]

The problem would be double taxation. The LLC would be paying tax then the "div" when you report also. You can write off all expenses during your trips and depreciation of the vehicle

[@jemmrich]

skyeric875 dividends have a different tax rate. In my country dividends of ~$49,000 are tax free. Best scenario is to only draw less than the 50k and keep rest in the biz. Since the remaining profit of the business is after expenses and dividend and, in theory, wouldn't you end up paying less tax?

[@jamesyoung151]

You can still take those decuctions, keep a vehicle log and your receipts in case you're audited.
