My order doesn’t have to equate to $10, but no way will I travel 9 miles for a $7 order, or 18 miles for an $8 order that DD offered me. The mileage and payout have to be profitable.

[@heatherfeather1293]

Exactly! To do otherwise is just to shoot yourself in the foot. IRS only allows a $0.56 per mile deduction, and then you have to factor in gas, oil, wear and tear, and insurance for your car. For me, it has to be at LEAST $1 per mile.

Naw Bently thinks you're holding the order hostage. He's a fool.

[@St.CrimsonTweets]

@@calicojack3628 I agree woth you. My 1st priority is profit. Once a profitable contract comes my way and I accept my priority becomes getting the food to the customer asap. It shouldn't be on the driver to look out for the customers it should be on Doordash. If they want to hide a portion of the total pay, they are fucking up the customers experience, if it says $8 to go 12miles and I reject it but in all actuality it was going to come out to $22 for 12 miles, that's not on me that's on doordash. Stop hiding totals so we know what we're agreeing to.

[@joeplasters8605]

What hes getting at is this if restraunt is fast and customer close take the $6 or $7 order. It's a good strategy because waiting for the big order could make wait 1hr for every order in allot of markets.

[@St.CrimsonTweets]

@@joeplasters8605 I get that and 6/7 dollars isn't worth declining unless the mileage is outrageous. In fact, 6 dollar orders are my low point, I've found anything under 6 to just not be worth it unless it's being added to the pick up and the mileage is minimal. My point is if declining upside down orders is frowned upon then as a dasher it's not our responsibility to 1. look out for diners and 2. lose money.

[@St.CrimsonTweets]

Yeah, I caught that part. When he said that, I have to admit, I started to question his take on this matter as a whole because he doesn't even understand how to write his mileage off on his taxes, so how do I take his opinion on the matter that seriously? When taking that 5 dollar order, the mileage to the restaurant counts as well, so you're really looking at a $hitty proposition to begin with. That said, I appreciate BC for this channel, and I respectfully disagree with him here. As for taxes, as long as your driving with the intent of doing delivery, it all counts as it's all business related miles.

[@joyjoseph1339]

Wrong, according to federal tax laws, you cannot deduct the miles to a hotspot, or from your last dash to home. This is also true for W2 employees. I worked as a project manager, the commute to my office was MY expense, travel to and from jobsites, when I left from the office, was a COMPANY expense.

We have no choice but to decline orders that pay less than a $1 a mile or take too long to get. Chipotle after 5:30 PM and Taco Bell after 9:00 PM have minimum 30 minute wait times in my area. Anything below that and I start to pay DoorDash, Uber etc to work for them. That's a pretty insulting way to take a loss.

I hadn't even heard about the decline now thing. But yeah, thanks for informing us here man. It's one thing to overlook the no-tip, three dollar orders, sure, but you're right about the others. Absolutely right on how to cherry pick here. Decline what you can, but if you keep waiting for that 'perfect order', you'll be waiting so long you miss out on the so-so, and okay ones. DDash isn't about perfection. It's a messy job at times. Fast restaurants can be slow some days. Slow ones can be in and out right away. You could be just about to pick up when you get a second order, meaning you'll have to wait a bit, but it'll be worth it. Traffic of course. And so many other factors. Embrace the mess, work through it, adapt every day, and you'll all be fine! Great vid, you're totally right here. I'm about to hit my 3 thousand orders mark!

You’re right. In my area Walmart orders are always close like 3miles or less most of the time but they only pay 8-10$. The time it takes to get there, the waiting time to get the order and the time to deliver it, it’s easily half an hour to an entire hour for only 8$. I’ve done many of these on slow mornings but after getting 20x 24packs of pop in the same order that needed to be delivered on the 4th floor of a complex I gave up. Most customer don’t tip you. No way I’m doing a delivery like that one only to get a « i hope they’re paying you good money » from the customer. Here in canada when you get a walmart order it doesn’t tell you how many things there’s in the order. There’s a number but you can’t count on it, same for groceries it says an amount of money but not the right one.

As someone who worked in Walmart for online grocery. It’s not just about DoorDashers. It’s that we get slammed with order and either have no workers in the department or there are too many new workers.

@lowesan Dune it’s because the more experienced drivers realize is they’re taking the $3-$6 deliveries, when it comes time for car repairs they won’t have money for that from running it into the ground on the low paying far distance deliveries.

Correct me if I am wrong but I thought the whole purpose of the Decline Now movement was to Decline these $2 $3 and $4 offers. I don’t know anyone who is complaining about a $7 offer. You said yourself that you decline offers under $5 so not sure why you are talking about $7 dollar offers when 90 percent of dashers will accept that. I noticed that you made no mention of these 2 and 3 dollar offers which are the low ball offers that everyone is referring to. I don’t know but it just sounds misleading not to even mention that.

[@algor.rhythm640]

As an order sits and is declined multiple times, the base pay goes up. The movement is aimed at turning orders that don't make business sense into profitable ones. My declines help other dashers. The longer the order sits the more base pay is added for the next driver. It's a lowest bidder wins system. The customers that aren't tipping need to realize that doing so will ensure timely service. Non-tip orders will get delivered after enough declines forcing DD to add base pay and make it worth our time. Many orders aren't started until a driver accepts. This is a luxury. Miles to dollar ratio matters just as well as total. All orders take time. The $3 orders don't take any less time than the $10. Averaging three orders per hour, dashers need to cover costs and make a living by setting a personal minimum. Dash like it's a business, not a hobby. Throw it back in the pool baby!

There are times where I'm able to make 40 plus an hour solely on knowing how my market works, and this isn't just sitting in a spot declining 10 plus orders in a row. Its knowing how the restaurants work, who the customers are that frequently order, and what restaurants have high volume. Given that info, I'm able to work my market to at least do 3 to 4 deliveries per hour. Also, to note, restaurants have now started their own delivery services. This will impact many drivers. In my market the chick fil a that's near me is a highly efficient, high volume restaurant that moves their drive thru faster than any gridlocked freeway, fulfills carryout orders faster than amazon, and has many delivery orders.

I would like to think it would force DD to pay better, I have doubts they will. If this is the result after customers finding out DD was using their tips to cover the base pay instead of tips being an addition to the base pay DD was supposed to pay, then I doubt it would get better. I've been in this gig economy since 2013. The absolute constant is they all have lowered the pay rates/base pay since I first started. Yes you can still make money, but it shouldn't have to be this hard compared to the beginning. Anyone with a W2 wouldn't continually accept multiple pay cuts over a several year period. We are only independent contractor when it comes to taxes. None of us including any youtuber can get these gig companies to pay what they feel is right & fair. Therefore you are not a true BOSS as its advertise. We only control logging on, accepting, declining, logging off. Every other aspect the gig companies have the utmost control. If any of us don't like things we have to live with it or stop completely. I like to use the phrase We are independent employees, at least at a w2 you commute A to B, then B to A. To each their own, I don't condone being paid $3 when I have to provide the things needed to complete the job with exception of preparing food. We all have to use strategy that works best for you to make the best $$ wherever you are and minimize as much as possible how we are all being taking advantage of. It can still be done, but once you figure out the area you work you simply can't take everything that's sent, unless all offers meet a persons requirements. Bentley doesn't do it either, I've watched a lot of his videos and he has a limit on what he will take, knows his area and executes. I also don't think its as simple as this market isn't like that market, in my market from talking to other dashers I know I'm getting throttled on the decent to really good offers I receive. I just know $13 for 19.000 miles from any high end restaurant from UE, DD or GH will get declined. I've already had to replace a car due to transmission dead at 249K miles and that was in 2020. Just take what you feel is good from any source and try it, if it works keep using it. All the things you don't like or agree with discard it temporarily because situations & perspectives have a way of changing and it may be useful later. That's my 2 cents. Wish everyone the best and most prosperous dashes.

That will lead to a Class Action Lawsuit and or bankruptcy. Drivers/independent contractors didn’t sign up for charity/community service. For delivery services is a luxury, not entitlement.

@@B.Ch3rry True. But I'm beginning to sense "gold fever syndrome" with the movement. If a dasher wants to decline an order for whatever reason, fine, do it. But to have a movement to purposely decline orders just because there isn't a tip, knowing it is going to have adverse affects, being cold or maybe spoiled food, can be deemed malicious.

@@dennismadigan2023 It’s a free open market. The market will correct itself. As long as they do not deactivate users for poor acceptance rates for the reason I stated previously. DoorDash, businesses, contractors, and customers will find a common ground to make matters decent for all.

[@chloespears7545]

This is so true. I just started dashing and at first I accepted all orders no matter how much the payout. I started declining the smaller paying jobs and I was waiting forever to get another job.

I'm a single full time parent i don't cherry pick. I can't risk it. I only decline orders that don't tip. I can't feed my kids running$3 orders.

[@gabrielrodriguez1695]

same! decline 3 and 4 dollar orders all day...send those no tippers to Postmates!

[@deriusbrown25]

Yeah customers are out of line wanting you to drive a long way and don't tip then look at you crazy when u drop off an order

Hey from Ak. I'm dashing right now.

I do orders 7dollars or better, but it had to be less than 4 miles so I can stay close to the area.

You are wrong on mileage. When you are on line “actively looking” for business, you can claim all the miles. If you are not “on line” you can’t.

[@DoordashDiaries]

I addressed this in another video in detail. The miles before your first order for many dashers can’t be claimed.

[@Harlen2828]

@@DoordashDiaries as long as you’re “on line” searching for that first order, yes they can. My sister in law is an IRS auditor for the DOD... I also own my own business and anytime you are searching for business/sales, they can be claimed. “On line” and “searching” is the key to business miles.

[@rayray1379]

I agree. While someone is waiting and declining I can keep be 1-2 deliveries and possibly more by the time they accept an order.
