Nothing to do with the subject of this video. I just found out their is going to be a test of the Emergency Broadcasting System Wednesday, including cell phones. It got me worried that it will knock out our apps, for some of us mid-delivery. Will our apps stand up to this? Will we loose our itinerary? We all know most of our apps are POS programs that glitch when you sneeze. Do you recommend trying not to be using them during the test?

[@YourDriverMike]

@@lucusrose2762no I would work per usual. I’m trying to remember the last similar alert but on iPhone I feel like it’s a banner style notification not an entire screen thing. These apps rarely reimburse workers for glitches though but I’m hoping there wouldn’t be an issue.

[@lucusrose]

@@YourDriverMike Thank you. I have an Android phone. Any alert takes over the whole screen. I'm in NJ and when we had the tornado in April, I had 3 alerts take over my screen. Dangerous storm, Tornado watch and Tornado warning when it touched down.

[@overlandski7795]

I tried signing up to that but they want me to pay $50 for a background check and if anything gets damaged its on you. They want your card on file so if you cancel a project you get charged a cancellation fee

[@issameQ]

That’s ridiculous. Well if they find victims to accept those terms then they will keep on going.

[@TheCelestineProph]

I was wondering about these issues specifically. I think I will pass on this one. I really dont like having to pay for background checks upfront and then being told they have no openings in my area right now. That's happened with other platforms that charge for background checks. They are banking and making interest off your money while you're not getting any jobs/money.

I've seen so many guys talking about delivery apps, but nobody as clear as you. Man this is cut to the chase I love it! Thank you so very much! I'll try courier and helper with them

[@RealityTrailers]

Indeed.

[@scottomara1832]

I signed up about 6 months ago and still have not taken a job, (Boston area). I've only seen one or two total jobs that may have made sense. The vast majority of offers are 10-20 mile commutes, 10-20 miles drop off and my return trip would be 20 miles. The average trip for me is round trip 30-45 miles and the average pay is 25 bucks! I factor in commute to and from and some jobs will lose money. Today they offered 25 dollar job for 24 mile ride, I live 40 miles from the pick up and 30 miles from the drop off. To be an on demand courier who can pick up on very short notice, the pay is incredibly low, even losing money on some. The job today was three hours time, 19 dollars in gas, and it paid a total of 24 dollars. If I lived closer to a pick up spot, usually Lowes, it could be worth it if it fit into your schedule and you were already driving that way. I have found that most jobs come out to be about 7-9 dollars per hour for an on demand courier using your own truck/vehicle. The pay is way too low and considering it is an on demand luxury service, most pick up times are expected to be picked up with 30 minutes!

On the $65 one, look again at what your loading and unloading. Heavy heavy wood. That would take you at least a few hours.

[@alexleanh]

Exactly! You do driving because you don't want to do heavy labor, and this kind of loading and off loading will tear your body apart especially if you're an older person like me.

[@mariomena1284]

$16 to deliver huge flat tv screens it’s a joke of a pay! shame on Goshare

[@MichelLinschoten]

It's an example dude

[@muradosman9998]

Oh yeah. The driver make $16 and GoShare makes $100

[@gokhanbaris3198]

Same bullshit as uber

[@Olivpinc]

It's real simple. If you have a delivery app the gas that you waste in order to go back and forth to a delivery location or warehouse cost money. Secondly, you're destroying your vehicle driving back and forth to location and making deliveries. God forbid if you live in a city where you have to pay Tolls to get to the warehouse OR in order to just make a successful deliver order. Your 1st hour is just to pay for the tolls and your 2nd hour is probably to pay for your gas depending on the distance which is usually not close.

[@joust182]

i think you underestimate how much work that might be for $65, that much heavy stuff will take time, over 2 hours to load and unload. I avg $30+ ph dd and can catch catering large orders that pay $50+

[@YourDriverMike]

I'm just wondering how the estimated time comes into play then because yes it was what 50 boards or something? With two people how fast can we load, drive/deliver and unload?

Many of these delivery app gigs are a joke and a waste of time, gas, and money, and you're breaking down your car. When you start sit down and do the calculation you start to realize it's not worth it at all.

[@randolphlittles1263]

Thank you

[@Lee-so4ub]

Some can def be a waste. However, I have been on many gig apps for 3 years now and I gotta say that now everything is becoming saturated. But back in 2021 after the pandemic I made great money and tips. Gotta just hang in there. I just signed up to GoShare today I think it’s garbage we have to pay $49 for the background check when I have never paid for a single once since 2021 so they are doing inflation BS now.

[@myoutuber77]

Gigs are meant to be pastimes, addiction, hobby and fun. Nothing more.

[@muradosman9998]

That was very well thought out. The only beneficiary is Hoe 1:26 Share, not the drivers.

[@AL12880]

They don't accept the background check from other places anymore . go check . and then anyone living in Los angeles done this helper side to see how much you can make , and how many hours work average is there per week (is busy or no ) ??

[@akwash72]

Thanks for all the information you provide. I have some information to share. I'm in the Dallas-Ft. Worth area and I use Point Pickup. The gigs are good but the app is terrible. I have had the same issue several times. So I will open app and be at the login screen. Input my credentials and press SIGN IN. Next MFA screen, asked to entry code; I entry code received via SMS and press "Continue"; I'm taken back to the login screen and a popup box appears saying "Session invalidated". So this series of events will happen over and over. I then contact support via chat (which is the only way to reach them ). Each time they ask me to uninstall and reinstall the app and a few other things which don't immediately work. Eventually I'm able to access the app but this issue keeps happening. Sorry this is so long but needed to include the details. Has anyone else experience this situation?😒 Thanks

[@Raul-d9r3r]

Would I be able to use a rented truck or box truck

Waiting for the background check. Turnit sent me an email within the first stating it was complete, but 3 weeks later, there was still nothing from Goshare.

[@ferdsan9025]

There’s always deadhead miles, even if you sucked it up and got a normal 9-5 you’d still have to drive to work and they won’t pay you for your commute

[@srossi4447]

That’s for your video info. Do u know anything about new law on gigs jobs that it’s going to take effect on march 11? Pretty much the federal government and dept of labor it’s trying to destroy gigs jobs & independent contractors jobs. Companies will have to hire all these drivers as an employee. I stopped driving Uber because they always took too much money for each ride. Just applied for goshare. But I worry what’s going to changed from march 11 on. Anyone knows about? Thanks

You're absolutely correct, this is filler but not throwaway. More of a right place, right time. Got one the other day to pick up 4 cans of paint and drop off 15 miles east ($19). The _Sherwin_ is next to my dub-2 work site and my house is 20 miles east. It was quitting time so the stars all aligned ....RPRT But I ain't puttin' lumber in my highlander 🤣 They WILL definitely take a hand-me-down background check...

I have a large Sprinter van. This would be a nice gig. Thus far Roadie has been very disappointing. Amazon flex is in limbo again. Being a diesel I need to justify costs. This might do it. It would all depend on how many offers you get.

[@YourDriverMike]

Check out Dispatch, Frayt and Bungii for other large load (LTL technically it’s called ) options

[@cch201992]

Yeah doing roadie too noticed so weird stuff with the app like you will be close to a pick up but not accept because it's a little too low so what I'll do is wait to accept and head over hoping it will increase and normally it does. But I've noticed if I wait to accept when I'm close the job just disappears but I drive away from the pickup and it will pop back up and will have increased in price. but in your boat I have a RV converted sprinter but I have space for 2 pallets and can carry 1700 lbs so looking to find a way to use the van for work and yeah gas ain't cheap if I used my wife's Tesla it would increase profitably but decrease cargo size I can carry, also my wife isn't comfortable driving the van so she would be without a vehicle while I'm working.

[@myoutuber77]

Kind of sounds like you were born yesterday. All gig platforms have next to no support and everything bad that happens is your fault. They are all hostile, no exceptions. Example: Roadie -- You wait for an order at Home Depot to pick up for 20 mins because it is not ready. Meanwhile Roadie cancels your gig and lowers your rating because you have stayed at the pick up location too long after accepting the offer. Generously, they do not deactivate you just yet but you will see a lot fewer gigs for a week following the incident as punishment. There is a reason why Roadie has gigs published for not ready pickups. It is one way how they control their driver population.

[@theglampman3785]

Thank you. You do a great job giving us and idea how these apps work.

[@RoundsOfWanting]

Do you think a truck and enclosed box trailer would qualify the same as a box truck?

[@myoutuber77]

No trailers on Goshare. You can use one but there is no such vehicle type. So for example a SUV with a trailer will still only be a courier. You will not have access to gigs intended for cargo vehicles.

I caught this run of Rona (despite the 4vaccs as wife's a nurse... also how I got it, from her) being sick really kills side hustles... it's good you don't work when sick, I don't, I'm sure some do, and I always try to "deliver like you're delivering to your family or yourself" so I keep sanitizer and such around and don't work sick, and even always wear a mask in case I'm contagious and don't know... So good on you for following if not required practices, then just good ones... as I've seen some drivers I'd question, and hope allergies As no one wants to get a delivery that comes with a possible sickness

Lots of complaints about having to pay for a background check, charging you for canceling orders, charging you for damage and the pay doesn't look anywhere near comparable to most other apps for all the risk you inherit. I like to keep as many options in my book as possible for gig work but I think this may actually be the first time I will avoid using an app.

These clowns told me it would take 6-8 weeks to review submitted documents. License, insurance etc. 6 to 8 weeks? I was going to supplement my income while my trucking job was slow. By the time they approve my documentation I’ll be back busy at my normal job. You should really mention how long it takes to get on board with this company. I find it extremely hard to believe they have that long of a waiting list, considering everyone in the gig community has barely heard of them… I think they are just incompetent.
