I've tried flat rates and usually decline two orders within the first 15 minutes because they try to send me too far away.

[@michellenichols9785]

My thought is even if I have to drive far away I’m gonna make 20 bucks in that hour and as long as I’m picking up and driving to deliver, I’m active

[@NastySasquatch]

I make killer money on my ev, because milage is basically free.

[@NastySasquatch]

@michellenichols9785 the problem is, you don't always get a ride back, and you are even farther from the next restaurant. Had a 30 mile trip between restaurants. Only profitable because I'm not using for fuel.

[@Winterstick549]

Riding a scooter for food delivery is far more profitable with cheap insurance, 80+MPG, park near the doors, and most of all, it's fun!

[@granderondeproductions3286]

Not when there's snow and ice on the ground.

[@Winterstick549]

@granderondeproductions3286 That's when you use the car, or truck, or drive for AmazonFlex

[@jeremy2394]

Bingo, but my downside with cars is just finding parking in big cities to just pick up 1 item & all the traffic

[@xJDMWaRRi0Rx]

you need a license for those things?

[@granderondeproductions3286]

@@xJDMWaRRi0Rx if its above 50cc yes.

I've noticed recently I'm starting to get alot of grocery and package orders which I've been declining because 1. It's time consuming and and 2. It's simply not worth the pay i have to go to 6-8 different drop off locations for $30 no thank you I'll stick to food/restaurant deliveries.

[@Happy_crab630]

Same

[@JimGarrett-wj9ey]

I have tried flat rate. I like it.

[@maliisadrable5994]

Lately DD has been better for me than U.E. UE orders have been trash lately and send me far. Maybe it was the days idk lol

[@joeybaseballs4424]

Amazing video Mike thanks for always helping out. From my understanding the minimum numbers you teach is 1. $1.75/mile minimum ‘satisfactory’ 2. $7 minimum ideally per order so does that mean for example on a double stack order aim for at least $14 ($7 for each order technically) and so on 3. On single shop and pay do you personally have a higher minimum? Or is it still $7 and $1.75/mile? I personally have still been following this for shop and pays but also follow the $1 per item rule. Thankfully I’m a fast shopper so 95% I do them quick and they end up being worth it. Thanks for all you do sir.

[@rrbigdad]

Had a shop and deliver the other day 32 items for 9.50 the total for the grocery was 285.00 rejected

[@MikeTheBikeDasher69]

Uber Eats is quite slow in my area since they dispatch orders for a cyclist account, but I'll get a couple per week that I consider worth my time. The last one I got paid a little under seventeen dollars for 4 miles, and it was about twelve items including a case pack of water, nothing my eBike set-up can't handle. It might pick up for Thanksgiving week, and I'm not that far from Orlando, FL so I'd like to take a crack at that someday.

[@swisscheeseoo7487]

I feel i make more woth Uber picking up then Door dashing and my area is sllow.. I only make 2-3 runs before my shift ends withing 30 min

[@annad5130]

If you get a far delivery, just stay and work out there and eventually you’ll get things more in the direction of home and it’ll bring you back. Assuming that you don’t take a far delivery right before you plan to go off shift.

[@jessicapadron7886]

I would love to try the flat rate, but we dont have it yet. I have been doing this for years, but still curious about your tips lol

[@NastySasquatch]

On flat rates, with my ev where I can drive for 5-6 hours for $5. I make bank.

[@AceDaCreator]

You look like santi zap 🔥

[@parkerw262]

Where did you get your glow lights?

[@BruceCordon]

Three weeks for a background check. No Uber for me!!

[@mysticassa55in34]

I have flat rates it’s okay so far they definitely take money from you and it’s only worth it if your getting low paying orders all day

[@johnwilliams8184]

Here it is Friday night and I’m getting more than one request per minute sometimes the same request coming back up because they keep spamming the orders. I’ve got a headache from just hitting the ex button acceptance rate at zero.

[@michaelharmsen8861]

Anyone else opted in for Christmas tree delivery on uber?

[@danielle5980]

Didnt know about that. I wonder if it will be available in New Zealand.

[@livefree2881]

Hells no 😂😂🥴🥴🤦‍♂️

[@CrazyCat229]

The flat rates were bs. The rates were super low and they stacked on the orders. They sent me all over my area which is unacceptable we're talking 20+ miles from store to person's house. COMPLETE WASTE OF EVERYONE'S TIME.

[@terrierkeeper]

Looking at Uber Eats to earn income. Question. I use a regular cell phone to communicate with others. I have a Tablet that I know how to use so do I have to invest in a I-pad to connect to uber and other such platforms or can I use my Tablet???

[@Happy_crab630]

Ur regular cellphone works best

[@motivationalentertaining4208]

I hate uber eats paying only $2 pay for all trips irrespective of distance. If customer removes the tip even for the mistake of restaurant for high paying and long distance trip, you are left with $2 and a bad rating in your kitty 😂

[@jchao617]

UGH IN CALIFORNIA NO EARN BY TIME =(

[@LLStacheLarry]

Erie pa I don't have flat rate.

Driving for Uber DoorDash in 2025 How tips for new starting drivers

[@Doorditch]

I use to have Alot of regular Uber Eats customers that i saw multiple times a week and now their All Gone and this aint no joke, Uber Eats is Bankrupt.

[@johnwilliams8184]

They are offering hourly pay so they can say hey I offered you by the hour job in case someone sees them with someone probably is suing them already

[@voe2damoney_yt]

Flat rates are garbage active hours are hours you are actually driving wait time does not count

[@familylifetoo9541]

I didnt likebit, i tried last night on flat rate it was bad last night 1st time i tried

[@EdindroWhitehall]

Acceptance rate matters now, so the app is trash now.

[@sirleeproductions]

epic

[@Doorditch]

This Channel is like a Charade acting like there is Uber Eats orders still worth taking, the Mighty have fallen.

[@MilenioAgosto]

I make $25 an hour on my pedal bike... 5 hours a day. At least in NYC the market is still there.

[@Majahpaine]

I find it insulting when a merchant tells me to confirm after I pick up an order. I snapped!! Because you playing me like I'm here to steal the food instead of making money. Please don't tell me to confirm it really pisses me off. The real thieves are the customers ordering online NOT the drivers.

[@terinacook3538]

It actually will help you by preventing someone else to grab your food and then you will have to cancel.

[@JoeMedina-j6c]

Yeah I wish Uber drivers were as nice as you, but they're not, I had two phones with me in an Uber left one in the car called back immediately after he dropped me off he wouldn't pick up his phone he wouldn't pick up my phone he just drove away with my phone like a thief in the night, complain to the company they said hahaha, just today I placed an order with Uber eats, you know how the Uber app ask you for location and permission well it doesn't matter because they're going to try to send it to your last address and then charge you for it like it's your fault it's a great company to work for very honorable if they're doing this to their customers I could imagine what they're doing to their employees, you should be able to walk with your head high working for such a great reputable company (sarcasm)

[@Ali-gd4bn]

Heck no, uber sucks

[@Sean-yv4ek]

I started UE a couple of weeks ago, and I made a delivery to an old lady. After I made a delivery, she said she's got something to give me and casually handed me a garbage bag and told me to put it in the dumpster on the way out. I gave it back to her and said "No thank you." I was worried she might not give a tip, but I got the tip somehow Do these things happen to a driver a lot? Or should I have just done what she told me?
