Doordash Driver: Never Spill Another Drink Again

[@johnny9]

I'll never forget the first time i had more than 2 drinks. That one order made me rethink dashing

[@TheAgeOfAnalog]

for real

[@chasitynoth5498]

My 1099 peeps: keep these recpts, all write offs, including the Velcro tape AND if you have spilled a drink, all cleaning supplies used to clean it up. I’m sure this ↕️↔️has been said before just reiterating bc of the importance of it ⭐️

[@angelamendoza590]

@Jo Hu Hi, did you ever find out if the car detailing after a mess in your car (ie... wing stop's white sauce) is a write off or not? I'd really appreciate it if you could pass on the info 😁👍

Don't forget the food while you are working is also text deductible

[@samanthapicou889]

I never thought I’d be so impressed by a drink caddy.

[@KidSillyFresh]

The grocery stores in my area sell a lot of wine, so they always have the cardboard six pack carriers that are a little extra tall, collapsible, and free for the taking. Slides perfectly into my thermal cooler which fits snug inside a milk crate attached to the back of my moped.

[@loriingram4175]

You always hear the liquor stores (sometimes places like Dollar General even put them out all together for the taking) for moving boxes. I should've thought to check grocery stores too when I started gig delivering.

[@VinylRescue]

When I signed up as a DoorDasher I immediately ordered a drink carrier from Amazon. When my son started DoorDashing he spilled a customer's drink in his car and the customer wasn't happy. So I took a cardboard box and made pockets for drinks with foam. I have one right now that I made up and glad I did as my very first order had 2 drinks! Being prepared is a must!

[@ThatHoeLovesMe]

Ur a good and very helpful parent salute to you

[@salsachevy1]

I've bee using this for my Dashing for the last few months. Works great but small drinks can wiggle around in them. Especially if you only have like 4 drinks. I keep two large empty bottles in my car to fill in the next open spots so the drink won't spill over

[@andreacurtisdragonflywarri9832]

I made a small carrying caddy out of a shower caddy and hot glued a devider in both sides so now I can Cary 4 drinks ... I cut a pool noodle into about 4 inches in length and the split it down the middle ! I use those to wedge between the wall of the caddy and the drink when it's a small one ! Now I will have to get this one and modify it so I have a larger one too ..... From a GrubHub driver !

[@kayyogamenice8583]

Just so you know this video is amazing! Your a great asset to door dash. This has literally been the only way my husband and I are surviving through this pandemic.

[@benchilton6527]

Hey man, I just started doordash yesterday and have only done about 3 hours worth of delivering because I was too nervous to start when I signed up because I've never done deliveries before. Your videos got me the confidence to start and I'm averaging $22 an hour in the University area of Charlotte. Thanks a lot for the videos man!

[@lazyhack2385]

These videos not only will help you be a better dasher and make that $22, but the life lessons and wisdom will help you become a better professional, with whatever you do.

[@oscarmorales8979]

This happened to me yesterday when the drink carrier split and I dropped half the drinks on the driveway of the customers house.

[@sethmcintosh3893]

I made my own caddy, using a milk crate and small bungie cords.

[@Krazyk007x2]

Nice. I've got a storage bin/towel setup. Wrap the drinks with a towel, helps keep them cold/hot, keeps them stable & if there is a spill, it's on a towel.

[@potatopewpew4719]

as much as this is a nice idea, you can also just buckle the caddy on the front seat. i have been using it like that for the last 200+ orders and it hold drinks like a dream.

[@joshuabedgood1611]

That’s what I was thinking. I just wanted to scroll through the comments to see if anyone did that.

[@friedpickles342]

Where do you put the buckle through?

[@robislookin]

i have an old ice chest in the backseat of my car. keeps stuff hotter and it doesn't go sliding around.

[@rockforester7908]

When I’m a customer I never order drinks. By the time they get to me the ice is mostly melted, the drink is diluted and not really cold. May a pet peeve but I always have my drinks at home. I know the drivers don’t want to fool w drinks anyway.

[@roybray1747]

Guys also write everything off on your taxes, including phone bill, chargers,drink holder, gas, mileage, etc

[@MrOtrdriver1999]

Also repairs, maintenance, home internet, especially if you watch KZbin videos on how to improve your business, if you purchase clothes specifically for your occupation those are tax deductible also. The home office deductible is a red flag and could cause an tax audit.

[@Sambitcoinadvertiser]

@@MrOtrdriver1999 The Car payment also

[@Milk-ei9bw]

You have to be sure that you are using an itemized tax deduction though. You can't take the standard deduction while claiming itemized things. I think you're allowed to claim your miles along with the standard deductions though. It just depends on what your personal situation is. It's best to just keep all of your expenses and take them to a tax professional and see what they can do.

[@kileNoe]

You could use silicon pads too. A little more temporary and versatile. Would even protect the fabric in the floor of the car or even stick to a rubber floor mat excellently. I mean silicon pads instead of velcro lol

[@jeffpeff]

I want a slurpee now. FYI: You can just use the hook side of the Velcro on the caddy. It will stick to the loops of the carpet.

[@amypollard3603]

I don't know how often you check these comments. I just wanted to let you know that I tried this in my car. I had to improvise because the velcro wouldn't stick to my carpet. But it did stick to the clips that hold my mats down. I'm a bad driver, so this saves drinks, and lives because I can focus on my driving.

[@danwilhite]

Good idea! Trying to not spill a bunch of drinks sucks!

[@parallelpost]

I buy so many shoes I just cut out different sized holes in a shoe box, put a 5 lb. weight in it. Some lids can rub another lid off so careful y'all and keep space between cups of same size.

[@balvinm]

Thank you for making us all aware of this important and simple tool. I have been looking for a way to prevent spills from drinks since I started 9 month ago. Nothing I tried seemed to work satisfactorily. Got one 2 weeks ago. I feel sorry for all those customers who ordered drinks that I serviced before I got this caddy. Also, I think it speaks volumes for you that you mention it once in a video and suppliers across the country are out of them and had to backorder them. Bravo.

[@SideGig]

I guess it's a good thing I ordered mine from Amazon last month before you sold them out! I use it mostly because so many drinks are too full and overflowing. This prevents sticky drips in my car. Never thought of the Velcro!

[@L0N357aR]

GENIOUS! Best drink caddy yet! I plan on leaving mine in place, except for when cleaning/sanitizing, because the 2nd reason this idea rules is that it forces me to place the drinks closer to my line of sight(!) never FORGET a customer's drink again!🙂🙃🙂

[@Mdxfiend]

I also use the 2 cup holders that are usually in the arm rest in the back seat. also you can use the ones in your door if your car has those as well

[@iUnderdog1]

I've been doing this "hack" since I started dashing earlier this year. Surprised this wasn't well known. Then again, ive used one of these for work(sprays and lubricants), so it was a natural "hmm" moment.

Just went to the Amazon website & looked this item up, & it's temporarily out of stock. I think that's a testament to you as an influencer. Great video. Respect.

[@kimberlywalker1015]

Excellent idea...also, a large tray in the seat with a drink holder(mine is a coke caddy) can be used...with a delivery bag...I have enough room in the tray to put the $8 delivery bag sideways...beside the drink caddy that is turned sideways. Great video...I might actually purchase one one of these to have drink caddies...sometimes there are quite a number of drinks on piggyback orders. Thanks for sharing🙂

Thanx Bentley, ALREADY used the cleaning caddie, however I didn’t think about the Velcro! Great idea!

[@loriingram4175]

Not me spilling my drink as I'm watching this video (not while driving, just doing closed caption work on the desktop at home, might head out in a bit for the lunch rush)! Thanks for your tips. I've only been at this a week, but my town has a Gordon's Food Service where I got some bags while I waited on the welcome package, and I will definitely be looking for something for drinks. One restaurant owner actually made it a point to thank me for putting her food in a thermal bag. I'll check around for a caddy and actually have some VELCRO pieces left from a past project. I will definitely be trying this drink carrier idea. I had some Misfits Market insulation pads left over from lockdown grocery delivery that I've taped together and used if a pizza is bigger than my bag, might make a cover for it later if I don't buy a pizza toter.

[@angelaswift9908]

@10:55 "focus on driving" yes.. That's a plus for all delivery drivers! This was a great idea

[@kessel251]

I bought one of those rubbermaid trays when I first started dashing and the second or third day of dashing it came in handy big time. I highly recommend it.

I like this trick , doordash have drinks carry for 14$ but i can easily see it's only made for small cups only , thank you Bentley

[@MrGeorgeVanDyk]

My guy! This is fucking amazing. I just recently spilled a huge Hi-C drink all over my seat and it pissed me off. And a few weeks ago I had six LARGE drinks from a local Chinese spot and that was a nightmare to carry. I'm going to buy all this stuff now. Thank you so much for this hack.

I have one that I bought from Amazon and it actually sits on the front seat and it attaches to the seat really easily so you don't have to worry about it falling over and the reason I like it is you don't have to worry about the floor being hot

I cut 3 inch holes in a sterilite tote lid, 4 gallons, holds 6 drinks, take the lid off and can hold big orders. Also a micro orange car detailing towels to keep the tote dry. The caddy is also great, mine does not have a carry handle. It is small enough to fit in the passenger side foot well. Also placed a bathroom mat down on passenger side, cover my seat with a beach towel. Image is everything in this business.

Great idea... I use my door dash bag to sit the drinks in... I place the drinks in that card board carrier inside the bag and place drinks in it... so t least if it spills, it spills in the bag... so far it works. The most I had to carry was 6 drinks.. Will be looking into this.ad usual great tips.

[@financialfreedom9667]

Looks great! To be extra safe I would wedge some clean hand towels or t-shirt/etc. in the empty spaces so the drinks don't have a chance to tip over inside the caddy

[@jenh9232]

I've just started and im obsessed with preparing my car like someone would set up their new office. Ive gotten my oil changed, new tires and interior and exterior detailed and plan to do that once a month to keep it fresh. I went out and bought window shades for the back seat windows and the rear window (i have a hatchback) im going to buy a Rubbermaid cargo mat for the cargo area and get a pet screen to sort of divide the cargo area from the rest of my car. Ive bought cooler bags, ice packs and keep a stock of gloves and mask to keep on hand. Maybe im being neurotic but I like to be prepared. This hack is right up my alley!!

[@Geminei]

You don't use a vehicle you care about... spending all that money a month on tires and detailing is making your gig moot. What's the point of wearing your car down if you are going to turn around detailing it every month? Just wash it in an auto wash 😅😅😅

I have been taking various notes on things from yourself and others doing this kind of work. My two cents for those here in the US, I have found the Dollar Tree to have economic "Dollar Tree" resources sometimes. But going with quality brand name things you can rely on - nothing beats reliability. Also, if you know of someone who works in the tech industry, get them to come home with some foam packaging of some kind for buffering vibrations during deliveries, and that along with various bubble wraps for thermal insulation. It's for electronics - it is very clean materials to be repurposed - good mega-score on resources. :)
