[@jonathancauley5345]

Tips from a dasher: 1. Do not drive more than 8+ miles for a order, gas prices are high save money! 2. In order to dash anytime for as long as you want, you MUST meet the following requirements: a. 70+% acceptance rate b. 90+% delivery rate c. 4.7+ customer rate d. 200+ overall deliveries 3. Para app is ur best friend 4. Be ready to encounter areas with no reception/WiFi 5. You Do Not need a pizza bag, just use your original grab bag for pizza orders 6. Make sure to STOP & EAT, this is crucial!

[@jonathancauley5345]

Another thing is which is contrary to what he said is, NEVER dash out of state! Driving out of state will have you spending more money because not only are doing your whole shift there, but you have to come back to your house. So instead paying only once for gas your paying twice in 1 day. However, if your someone who is on the borderline then you may only have to pay one. But if there is no dash on the other side of the borderline and you end having to drive to the middle of the state, then ur still stuck paying twice. This is also true for driving more 2 hours to a busy area, which is what I am referring to this whole time. Hopefully there’s busy zones only 45 mins away from you.

Tip: if you are dealing with rude customers(the ones that hassle you before you even get the order)especially those who don’t even tip CANCEL THE ORDER if you never touched the food you have every right to cancel what youve accepted. Don’t let people stress you out. This is YOUR BUSINESS at the end of the day. If they wanna treat you like you’re slow or a slave just start canceling 🤷🏾‍♀️ makes my day easier and stress free and actually makes me more money cause I’m not pissed off.

Basically, if the trip is 30 minutes, I need to make around $15. If it's 20 minutes, I need to make around $10, if it's 60 minutes I need to make around $30 for the trip. You get the drift. I've been sticking to my guns on this 90% of the time and been making AMAZING money. Good luck to all of yall!

[@DarkChaos751]

As a seasoned doordash driver, here is my personal top five. Number one, don't move for any less than $2 in a mile, doordash always gives you mileage driven and cost of the food, quick math, 1/2 on the dollar, and see if the mileage is under that. The reason why I say this, if you spend $60 in fuel, and it gets you 350 miles, and we will take 50 miles off unnecessary amount of idling, driving around, etc, you should make $600 off one tank of fuel that cost $60. Number two, don't accept loads under $6, even if the mileage is half the cost AKA $2 a mile times three miles is $6. The reason why I say this, is because you lose more time in an hour getting in and out of your vehicle, waiting for the restaurant, and waiting for the customer then you do driving around, and you would have to work twice as hard just to make the same amount as if someone were making $10 a load for the same distance. Number three, ignore the acceptance rate, you don't have to accept any loads that are bullshit. Remember, you are a paid contractor, you choose what fits your bill. All that statistic does is make you think psychologically that you need to keep it high, or they will deactivate you. I have an acceptance rate of 15%, because I know what I am worth and I'm not deactivated. Number four, trip planning. You should take everything into consideration. Do you have any appointments you need to keep? Do you need to fuel up? Is this going to take you into no man's land, where you are going to have to drive unpaid to get close to a batch? This falls in line with knowing where the pickups are. I advised you to get the gas buddy app and card, that way you can pay it back in a day or two, or over the weekend, and save $0.10 a gallon, while also providing you a map of where the cheapest gas stations are. When pre-planning your trip, make sure this isn't a problem restaurant, and don't be afraid to say no to it. If you find it agreeable, make sure the place you are delivering to, if it's a restaurant, a mall, and apartment, or somewhere you haven't been before, activate satellite on Google Maps, and look at it in a bird's eye view to see where it is located, that way you know where to park and how to get to the customer faster. Number five, this is your business, whether you're doing it as a side hustle job or full-time, you need to track down your miles, need to write off your fuel, your phone payment, your internet, keep any receipts pertaining to doordash, even meal breaks are paid for, so you can write those off if they are required in your job. Also, your car payment can also be used as a write off as well too.

[@richardvargus7443]

@erik bray no.....no not at all. You will be expected to pay all the taxes your employer usually pays. This includes 15% social security taxes and about 20% income tax. Tracking your miles will allow you to deduct this business expense from your income, which is not taxed at all as a 1099. You may also deduct oil changes, tires, and additional expenses related to your business income. This must be all tracked and recorded. Most people are very bad about recording this information especially since January's receipts are not needed until the following year. In this way the government has the upper hand and takes advantage of workers like yourself. Because you dont understand. Because you are focused on the money you are MAKING you become distracted and forget to focus on how much you get to KEEP.

Man if you work it right DD is awesome, well over $2000 a month which for us covers every bill almost twice, (closer to full than not.) Gas and car work is a tax write off as well as miles, phone bill, new phone, internet costs, etc. Know your ins and outs. Being a cab driver for 5 years helped too though. It's been a God send during this pandemic crap, these fires are getting pretty rough though. We don't work everyday, we work on average 25 hours a week and sometimes not at all, a lot of the time just my husband will go, we have kids and it is flexible enough to take time to just be a family. This has been the "American Dream" for us. We are in a prime area not a huge town and it isn't too small, a major college and 8 miles away from another major college. Seriously grateful, even on the crappy $3 deliveries, it adds up. Save declines for major distances for little pay and it wont mess with your stats.

I'm enjoying the flexibility, Just gotta make sure you're in a the right area otherwise you could be sitting there with no orders for ages!
