Is multi apping worth trashing my DD platinum... If I'm only doing DD and Uber eats.

[@aCycloneSteve]

I did my first DD today. 3.5 hours, 7 deliveries, $33.80, 34 miles (including driving to & from home)

[@KSBuccilli]

This was fun to watch. I live (and Dash) in Virginia now but I’m from Pittsburgh (grew up in Penn Hills) and you were driving all over my childhood today lol

[@roberval02]

Yeah! Do one day taking all orders by time. That would be interesting to see

[@DeFrozen]

Keep it above 70 acceptance and it’s ALWAYS a min of $20/hr. At 6k total deliveries and platinum has the best perks at 80-85+ acceptance.

[@bretts4544]

You know what you’re right I’ve noticed the same thing. Treat it like a like a real job and you’ll get paid like it’s a real job.

[@recreati9999]

Ya definitely agree I'm at 78 percent acceptance and definitely notice a big difference from before I was platinum less miles more money 💰

[@denzelljonesinc]

Would love to see the earn by time version. Ive been trying it out and notice that mileage can be rough but dollars per hour is actually pretty good, seeing $20-$30 typically. Tend to only see 0-2 dollar tips regardless of distance though. If you can snag it during slower the periods between typical meals it tends to make up for the lack of offers with the time spent on each order but during peak you just lose too much opportunity for better offers while on a long distance drop off.

[@KeithWheelerBooks]

Another great video and challenge! Thanks for sharing Mike! Enjoy that Chinese food…you earned it!

[@YourDriverMike]

Appreciate it!

[@joekrause954]

I use a insulated bag i bought at a Sam's club for cheaper than the small doordash bag. It is thicker larger and stronger and I recommend them to everyone over the doordash bag.

[@Tonytaru]

But the doordash bag is free. How could it possibly be cheaper.

[@joekrause954]

@Tonytaru the first one is free the rest you have to pay for unless you find a pizza place that has the bags

[@YourDriverMike]

Nice, basically all you want. Thick insulation, durable, easy to carry. Anything else?

[@joekrause954]

@YourDriverMike love the videos and appreciate all the work you put into them

[@jeffrey2175]

I dashed for 2 years, with a 98% acceptance rate. I definitely cherry picked, and still did good with keeping my rating. You have to find a good area, and only do that area. My last 6 months of dashing, I used a spread sheet with gas, mileage and vehicle maintenance. After that 6 month period, I quit DD. It’s literally donation service after all the numbers worked out. Fortunately, Dashing was just a side hustle to my full time job, but I would do 8 hours a day and it just doesn’t pan out overall. It was fun though.

[@bobbyrobison]

That was brutally entertaining. Send my apologies to your vehicle, $:mile was GROSS

[@YourDriverMike]

It was but not as bad as I thought honestly

[@rivrhi3253]

I did $18 for $18.50 but All Highway Miles. Did it 10 minutes early. Late night no traffic Seattle

[@AnkleToeKnee]

I was in Monroeville yesterday. Nothing on DoorDash but uber was busy. Everything was to McKeesport UPMC for under $10.

[@KingDoorDash]

Honestly, pretty solid shift considering your stats and that you accepted every offer! 🔥

[@traveljb]

Love this!!

[@YourDriverMike]

Thanks! Check your email sent you an invite if you want to come on the channel to talk side hustle strats etc

[@fishsaysn0]

Meanwhile here I am with 1% AR 🤷‍♂️

[@YourDriverMike]

Before I tested DR I was around 24% which is surprisingly high. Starting this shift I was 41% which is even more surprising

[@RapidValkyrie]

Would definitely like to see the same concept done for an earn by time shift! I was also wondering if having silver, gold, or platinum status has any positive benefit for earn by time? I’m not really understanding how they can give you priority to higher paying orders when your rate is already set from the start. Do they just give you orders with higher tips?

[@omo7002]

As a platinum dasher who does both earn by time and earn by offer, I can tell you it does have an effect on earn by time. You still get priority to large/catering orders with no change, and some of the orders I get will randomly be a high paying offer (it doesn't tell you, the tip will just be high). Not sure if this is because no one else is around to do it, or because of my platinum status, but I feel like it happens at almost the same rate, maybe a little less, then earn by offer. I also feel like the number of 0$ orders you get is much less (unless it's super busy), and you tend to at least get a dollar or 2.

[@RapidValkyrie]

@ thanks for clarifying!

[@YourDriverMike]

Sure I can do an EBT shift. I don't think DR affects EBT though

[@Demilovatoloverable]

Stupid way to make money/ do the math: your hard cost for the vehicle is .54 cents a mile… Your time and effort. So you made what 189 but it cost you 54$ and 10hours of wear and tear/devaluation on your car. Uber eats has you beaten “they” never left the office.

[@davidhays1099]

I'm hoping you understand the premise of this video, where he specifically mentions that he doesn't recommend people to do this. Smart drivers are picky with the orders they accept, knowing vehicle depreciation matters, and knowing they need to factor in the cost of maintaining the vehicle.

[@ferretapocalypse]

It makes me lmao as to why you haters always hang out on these channels.

[@officialtog]

Hard cost is not .54

[@ReyDeals]

How did you come up with .54/mile?

[@jaymum23]

Not even close to $0.54 per mile and you can deduct $0.70 per mile on your taxes.

[@jwfountain]

yes i love videos of you in the field

[@FoHTon80]

I tried out from Amazon the 'VENO 2 Pack Cooler Bag and Insulated Grocery Bags for Food Delivery, Collapsible Cooler, Reusable Shopping Bags for Groceries with Zipper, Foldable, Heavy-Duty, Stands Upright (Black, 2 Pack)' for $18.99 to replace the crappy DD one. They work great as advertised. Just be a little extra careful on the zippers when you first get them.

[@mikesveganlife4359]

I had a hand it to me once in a building, customer didn't answer texts or phone calls, didn't answer the door, only to find they ordered pizza for delivery at 7pm, not 10am, they were at work in their office at 10am.

[@Theregimeofchange]

Could you do “accepting every trip radar trip on Ubereats”? You’d mainly accept orders that are like $10/20 miles, etc but since it’s very active, you might see one that’s $30 for 45-60 miles

[@willmarkley4237]

That might kill a driver to do something like that.

[@RDRSHELL71]

Uber eats pays more only when less drivers are out in my city. Day before yesterday I did a 25 pay out for the same location give or take 5 miles that I did yesterday afternoon which was a $9 pay out! 😮 but I’m new and been hustling to work my way up to better offers.

[@YourDriverMike]

Yep! kzbin.info/www/bejne/i4qulXZ_esyNiZo&t I can certainly do it for a longer shift though

[@rivrhi3253]

Doordash sending Pizza Order Deliveries without a confirmed bag...lol ...Seat warmer passenger side...put Doordash bag on top with other sides in my own Thermal Bag

[@mwblank]

In terms of a delivery bag, I would prefer a 20% larger size compared to the current bag. It should be significantly stiffer and more insulated. Additionally, it should have a much more sturdy and insulated bottom. Furthermore, it should have upgraded handles and, ideally, two insulated cupholders on either end side too.

[@YourDriverMike]

See I was thinking the same thing, not huge but just a touch bigger you could see how I could barely fit that McDonald's bag in there. It's just a pain when trying to get going. Just a quality of life improvement.

[@Mickieshelton]

Oh my gosh!!! This is my life right now!! I’m a new dasher and I’m 10 deliveries to reaching my 50 and I’ve been accepting every order. I am in Gilroy California and I’ve been faithfully watching your videos and learning. This video of your frustration of low paying non answering and rural far traveled delivery…. Ugh my body is in so much pain today lol But I’ll be starting my shift and I’ve been trying to try different ways to be able to get more orders. I’m lucky because my town is small and I’ve got some great food places that my surrounding cities don’t have. So today I’ll be going to suggested spots and still doing uber eats in between if available. Thank you so much for this video!

[@YourDriverMike]

Thanks for watching and good luck! Remember you get a preview of Dasher Rewards until 50 deliveries so keep being critical of offers while you have that free perk!

[@StormRaid417]

I've tried 10 hours and only made $190. I could have kept going, but it would not have been worth it as I was already tired, and I had to save what gas money I had left to Doordash my other hours this week. Doordash won't make you that much money unless you have a couple of friends that will work another shift after you're done to have a consistent flow of cash. With a couple of friends changing shifts, you both could technically make $100,000 a year, Doordashing, or more. But, the time required and vehicle costs would make all of that much lower in the end. At least with $100,000 a year income with 2 people, buying a used gas saving vehicle is really easy, especially when it's a car you're going to trash anyway that year. Buy cheap car/change shift with friends/repeat. If only friends were that reliable and could see the benefits of doing so.

I deliver to the jail/sheriff's office several times a week. The sheriff department radio dispatchers order and so do the jailers. I'd never been near that place much less inside it. I also get a lot of deliveries to the I.C.E detention center, and every once in a while I get one for the big prison that houses death row. It's fun going to places you would normally never get to go to.

Close the app and open it again without pausing, turn off cellular and turn it back on, turn off wifi if connected to a public wifi spot (i.e. Starbucks), drive 1-3 minutes to a new staging area.

Great Video. I think Doordashers should use to use their flashers. I have parked illegally to pick up an order, turned on the flashers and have never received a ticket. This may not work in a major metro area like NYC, Chicago or LA. I have done this in Atlanta with no issues. If I did receive a ticket after doing this 100+ times, the return on investment seems pretty solid.

If you accept a double order, (lets say 1 location, 2 customers) does the second person you are driving to see the GPS and able to track you while delivering first persons order? Or would it tell them anything such as "currently finishing another delivery'? I always wonder if these ppl are raging and can see Im not headed to their destination yet. haha.

It tells them you are on another delivery. It used to let the 2nd customer track you on the map while you were on the first delivery.

I did recently get a hybrid vehicle so I can probably justify some of the lesser paying offers since I get better fuel economy but I think what frustrates me most when doing this gig is the traffic in general. I'll get impatient and thing 'screw this, the orders aren't worth this traffic right now' and go home.
