I also live near Minneapolis and I just started dashing full time, doing shipt, and Uber eats and it is so worth it. It’s super nice to be watching someone else do the same things in the same market as me because it only brings me motivation:)

$54k as a delivery driver is outstanding. Killing it. I did $65k last year as a part time Uber and Lyft driver with some delivery mixed in. All depends on the market. Delivery is so much harder to make big money like you do as well. It's a grind. During the early stages of the pandemic I did delivery for a year and didn't even crack $40k so much respect eli!

Self employment tax is over 15% but it depends how many miles you drive, and you HAVE to track your miles You need to set aside at least 25% of your TAXABLE income, but that percentage goes up if you have a higher earning day job Look up self employment tax effective rate calculator and you can enter your main job income plus your side job and figure out how much to set aside Either way I'm begging everyone to track miles/expenses and save for taxes

What they don't mention is that to make even anywhere near 30-50k requires at least the same amount of miles to add to a car. Miles are never mentioned , in my area it's about $1.15 -1.25 per mile for door dash orders so you can do the math as to how many miles it will take to earn a salary lol. Doing this full time will give your car a short life span

you might be lucky to have your car in great shape and it doesn't need any fixes. but eventually, it will. not sure how people are making any profit driving regular cars. You can definitely deduct from your taxes all repairs, oil changes, and gas ... but ... I'd say to run this job you should be as efficient as possible, - EV prob. I hope you are learning something else while driving gig jobs, cause eventually, you need to become a professional, - like cooking meals, doing surgeries etc. And nothing wrong with doing extra after your regular work as well. I'm doing it cause I want to see how other people are living, what they are ordering, and what restaurants are around. I also want to try uber, - so I can meet and maybe talk to some different people.

I'm here in Minneapolis too, near Nokomis. There's nothing in this area, so I have to go north towards the city or south to richfield or bloomington. I don't like going North because I get nervous near really crowded areas and parking situations. How do you deal with the food places that you can't park near? Just drive around until you find a spot? And most places that way are apartments too, so parking is crazy. Any tips? I also just signed up for Shipt, but most of the deliveries I've seen are bogus. Like going far east and crossing to Wisconsin? Really Shipt? Maybe the good routes are getting taken asap...
