You should start at your house and stop when you get home

[@KariT-s4c]

Yes. Treat it as if your home is your office. When you leave your office you start tracking your miles.

[@WilliamWebbOfficial]

Yeah and tbh... do NOT even pick it up if they ain't offering a tip. I use uber eats all the time and i only order if i'm tipping at least 18-20%. Those drivers need to make money and the price of gas is often waaaaaaaaaaay over looked by those greedy corporations. I feel so bad for these drivers.

[@lenardosbornsjustice5948]

Serial killer vibes tho 😂

[@dianek1683]

I go out for breakfast and lunch, lunch I make more but when I add in the money from breakfast it adds up nicely. Everyday is different but some orders that come from restaurants that just specialize in breakfast have some real good tips on them. I track from home and until I get back home. Happy 4th! 🇺🇸🎉

[@knitix]

I start all the apps when I'm still at the house. I live about 3 miles from the closest hot zone. If I don't get any decent orders while I am still at home, there's no sense in even leaving the house.

[@stevenbell3897]

Your tax guy is correct. You start counting mileage at your home (or wherever) when you get in the car to go work. Then you stop counting when you get home from working. Every one of those miles only happened because you were working. Where it gets tricky is if you end your day and then use the car to do something personal. Say you finish your last delivery and then decide to go see a movie or meet friends. In my opinion, in that case you would stop counting miles where you dropped off the last delivery.

[@itdo.]

dashing in the morning or between 3pm-5pm is absolutely pointless in my area. youll get orders but each order takes 45-60 mins to complete because of the traffic.

[@TiddyFreckle]

HUH? if you're starting at 7am, traffic is nonexistent xD yall wild

[@jennab6913]

Start mileage at home and end at home. The spot or closest business I drive to is 3 miles away. When doing your taxes, as a 1099, it has you break all that down, Commuting miles, business miles and total miles. It's a headache when you have to figure out commuting miles

[@TiddyFreckle]

pay a tax person to do it for you. a PRIVATE tax person. it's worth the 500 dollars. especially when they can get back ALL of your tax money for you. so instead of paying thousands in taxes, you only pay 500 dollars.

[@dianehansen8157]

I turn on the apps when at home, so I turn on my mileage tracker on while at home, too. Like you said, those are business miles.

[@IMDLEGEND]

Thanks for this video. I have hardly done breakfast runs but didn’t notice anything special about them. I avoid Dunkin and very busy McDonald’s, where there are long waits for orders.

[@Sunny_Chronicles]

I track from the time I leave my house to the time I get back.

[@joannerusso4121]

I always start tracking at my house

[@MommywithaPurpose]

Your hair is so pretty like this! Nice to see someone else doing GH!

[@SaraElizabethYT]

Thank you

[@debbiejones953]

Count ALL those miles!! Even if you are driving around waiting for orders. I just reset my odometer at the beginning. If the miles are not exact, it’s okay! Don’t stress so much. Just get close and go make that money 😊

[@generalbummers]

I start tracking before I pull away from my house, and I stop tracking when I get to wherever I’m going after I’m done delivering. Sometimes that’s when I get home, but if I’m running errands or eating or shopping after delivering, I’ll stop tracking once I get to that place.

[@ericberry6557]

I track when I leave the house and turn it off qhen I get home

[@mermaidreviews4693]

I start the a doorDash at my house, but I also live near a lot of different restaurants. Sometimes I’ll start it in a shopping center but most of the time I started from my house.

[@stevehammond2016]

Hey Lady , it's great to hear from ya' . I tell ya' , the Sonic up here is near my place so if they pulled that on me . I probably would've gone home . 1:37 , been experiencing days very similar . your tax guy is on the money with his advice . In an earlier life , my work carried me throughout the southeastern states so the mileage " per se " helped me greatly . As far as proof of my driving , I furnished gas receipts from different areas . I' might've been " long winded " here but " you did ask " . Y'all take care .

[@kennethmcalister9853]

I keep a log on my phone. I start when I leave the house, end when I get home. All business miles. As long as you are documenting your mileage (keeping a log every day you work), you are good.

[@maryretireddasher-grubhubf1259]

I write my miles down turn app on! When finish I write down ending miles. I have notebook that I tally up miles by month and when I do my taxes that’s the miles I use!

[@mermaidreviews4693]

I start the a doorDash at my house, but I also live near a lot of different restaurants. Sometimes I’ll start it in a shopping center but most of the time I started from my house. also, my dad has his own computer tech business. He has contracts with different police departments and he charges $75 just to come out to the location just in case the problem is something is simple as hooking a cord back in.

[@theitalian7195]

I set my tachometer from the house and it counts until im done for the day or night. Then I record it simple.

[@larryt510]

6.5 year driver here for Ubereats, DD and GH. In my opinion it's not necessary to take a McDonald's order inside of a bag to the door and then take a picture of the bag with the order at the customer door. That was a $5 offer going to an apartment. You are not going to get a better tip for that. And you aren't going to get a bad rating from the customer for not doing it. One thing I've learned along the way on my 13,000 deliveries is never do more work than you have to if there isn't going to be any benefit. Also you have the most beautiful eyes. Just thought I'd mention that 😀

[@eatgoodwittoy6550]

I’ve received many many compliments from using my delivery bag and drink carrier. It’s just a personal thing with me I guess. I’ve noticed many after delivery tips added! I’ve made ALOT with tips!

[@barndude5562]

I do well with breakfasts in my market. It's like I am the only one out here most early mornings. Then, at 9 am, I hit a couple of CVS Pharmacy runs on Roadie.

[@LLStacheLarry]

Yes track miles start at house end when you get back to the house even if you stop at store on the way home don't end miles tell you get home.

[@1ivandang]

Total miles from start to end shift . The way i do my math to know exact how much i make. Deduct 35 % = gas, repair, mileage, etc.

[@LLStacheLarry]

I stay home on holidays. Just not worth going out..

[@danimarflores190]

Track it when you start your vehicle. We are IC, so every Mile is business miles. Stop tracking when you get home or you are heading home but need to stop somewhere else for something personal.

[@carolyndetemple]

9:13 In my area, unless you like working midnight-5 am, DoorDash has nothing available, not even breakfast, not even lunch, not even dinner 🙁 I literally have to get up at midnight to TRY and get something decent and truly the best time to make money is at dinner, at least here in Denver metro anyway.

[@AustinDashes]

Morning shift is a hard pass for me unless I have a scheduled catering order 😒

[@boohere2]

I've been out in the mornings. It can be a hit or miss. Meaning no orders are coming through. Otherwise there can be. Hard to tell when it is a hit or miss besides just going out & waiting. I can always schedule in the mornings whenever I want. Today I went out briefly for the morning. I wasn't getting anything between 6 and 7:30. I left to do some errands. When I came back online at 8:30, I started getting decent orders. I could only take 2 cuz I needed to go back home. I think if I stayed on longer there would have been more. Oh well!

[@sarahandy9981]

I count every mile possible. I start at my house and end when I pull back in. Any effort I'm putting in to working like if I'm driving to another zone. It's counted towards work so I'm going to deduct it. We don't get paid enough out here. I'm going to take money back from the government anyway I can. Love from LA💜💛

[@rachmunshine9474]

From home. I’m usually walking out for the first order but even if there’s a ride to a zone for some, and especially bc the app encourages people to not sit in one spot for too long… all miles during your “shift” should be counted imho.

[@ava_and_ben_halleluyah]

I avoid holidays now, even on the holidays where most places are open. It's always dead, and I figure it's because there's more driver competition out there from ppl being off work, AND more ppl are cooking at home with groceries delivered the day(s) before. Maybe better to experiment on a regular morning to see true results... fri-day or s-nday?

[@LindaE-we5pz]

I track starting with first pick up to last drop off.

[@storytimewithgrammawmaw]

As a tax preparer I can say the IRS rules for mileage from your house to the first "job" and from the last job back to your house are excluded from business miles.

[@insin5905]

Ha! The IRS is going to follow you around to track your miles? Hell no! Be honest about your mileage (and make estimated tax payments) and the IRS will leave you alone

[@hektoriuz]

not if you open the app at home at your office with a business license at home.

Heyyy… When u say “you’ll get out of the small pay order” if “something better comes along” Do u just cancel that order? Would it count against u?

Irs defines it as the "purpose of the trip" that means to and from as well as changing areas to get orders. Think ice cream vans. All the random driving they do to sell ice cream. All for business.

if you start at your house at your home office, its all a business expense including hydro, square footage, wifi, computer, everything is a tax deduction. Work clothes, cell phone and plans. Food , gas, insurance, wear and tare 35 cents per km. Interest on credit cards to run your business ...... the works. id say a new pair of shoes a month, and a few tops and bottoms, rain jacket , winter jacket, cleaning supplies, everything used to work as an independent contractor is a write off against your income at a % multiple phone lines for different apps, phones, a meal every 4 hours on the road. as long as its used for work, its a write off at a certain % Under the contractor contract it says we must be presentable, that means clean decent clothes. No gucci but levis and nike all day. 2 rain coats , 2 winter, 2 rain boots, 2 snow, 5 pairs of shoes thru the year, private hygene to stay clean and fresh for work, everything. Prescriptions to stay healthy for work, sunglasses to drive with less fatigue, prescription glasses to see the road, everything you use for work. Advil, tylenol, socks, underwear, if it its used for work its a write off.
