How you doing I have a question I just started roadie and I did 2 deliveries what it means on the side of the rating stard 1 it show number 1 on the side of the rating

[@diversitycandle5708]

As a 20yr tractor trailer driver, I see a MAJOR concern with an app like Roadie. The problem I see is that the trips, no matter how well they pay, do not have any back-hauls. Using your example of the $33.46 trip for 53 minutes/42miles, that trip is ACTUALLY going to pay $33.46 for 84 miles! Since I dont see this app offering a paying "back-haul" you are dead-heading those miles back to your area. I dont see this as worth it at all sorry.

[@JohnEastmanExAttyAtLaw]

about 99.9 percent of drivers are too slow to get this point.

[@TheCdubbleyoo]

This is the same problems with all of the apps, that I have seen - the high payouts are for long distance away from the main delivery area to somewhere that either isn't covered by the app or there are no businesses for people to order from in those areas.

33.46 with mileage expense of 47. No “income”. But cash in hand.

[@TheoSakoutis]

Great video, thanks for posting. Higher dollar per mile is not always better than lower dollar per mile, all other factors being equal. A lower dollar per mile often correlates to more highway mileage, less city. This generally correlates to higher fuel efficiency, less wear and tear on the vehicle, and less stress. If I am offered a choice between a run with 10 stops in the city, vs 1 stop with more highway miles with the same $/Hr rate, I tend to favor the highway run even though the dollar per mile will be less. All this further complicates the driver's algorithm..

[@whbgegs5571]

1) 4-star rating is very fair, considering some people have a slip of the thumb at times and you can't undo it 2) Yes, you can do something in that 15-minute wait time, even if your offer gets accepted right away. Because they grant you 15 minutes to start your gig once it's accepted.

[@jasondratman5584]

Mike great job as always ..apprec it .. would love for you to look into other businesses .. eg. franchises , Amazon seller ect thanks

[@denden4387]

If it was me, I'd probably pay attention to the Dollars Per Mile AND the hourly rate as well. THEY BOTH MATTER!!!! Yes, you're making some great points and I TOTALLY agree with the $25 per hour assessment. I also agree with the $1.75 per mile assessment and like you would actually shoot for $2 to $3 per mile. In my opinion, I don't like their business model and how they make you wait for a response because TIME IS MONEY and that's probably why I haven't done anything on Roadie even though I'm registered with them. I've been in Trucking in the past and their offers at times don't make DOLLARS OR SENSE!!!!

[@XEmpire1]

I did 2 orders on Christmas eve because the roads sucked. 1 doordash was a catering order, they tipped $35 for a total of $45 then a $30 uber eats shop and pay order. Made $75 in 1 hour :)

[@fosworyt5147]

I had a good batch of orders last week on roadie. I managed to get 15 Walmart express orders at once going the same direction. I drove 30 miles for 15 stops and that took 2 hours, the pay for that total was $220. As each individual order payed $10-$20. Unfortunately this is the first time I have ever gotten that many gigs at once. There are rarely that many posted.

Correct at the 9:00 mark. It's best as a filler or an "on your way" in one direction app. It cannot and should not be used to try and make a livable wage, only as a help between your other gigs/apps. 100% accurately stated. Nice video.

[@MarkBakerforevernow]

It was good to see someone finally give an accurate accounting of what to expect when delivering with Roadie. It's exactly as what I've experienced. Average-to-low pay, and lengthy time frames in which to decide on what action to take. I absolutely think the 15-minute window is a deal breaker for me unless I'm committing only to delivering with Roadie. I tend to stay away from delivering with them, as they've burned me in the past over a delivery payment that they owed and never paid. It was only $8, but it's the principle of the matter that counts. It was the worst experience I've ever had with customer service. This was before UPS acquired them, so maybe I'll be more trusting of them now. Thanks for another informative video.

I totally agree and have never taken any orders - but did get a prescription run offer that had a hidden tip . I was doing something else and just wanted to see if it offered me anything and if anything was hidden because the pay looks pretty crappy up front . I still wonder if any other offers have hidden amounts ??

[@pennystupid]

No it is horrible and impossible as a main app, at least here in Phoenix. I hate the process of having to ask for a trip and then sitting and waiting to see if you are picked. Ridiculous process that wastes the drivers time

[@HotTakeAndy]

Agreed. The “approval” thing is such BS. Don’t show it to me if I’m going to get declined.

[@TailwindDelivery]

All the approvals are taking place in India, so you can’t expect much.

[@chasemoore1281]

Long time Uber/doordash/Instacart driver here just learned about roadie today and I just signed up I like the idea of a long distance delivery.

[@blippacg]

In the past year or so Roadie has changed their fee structure. They use a lot of bundling so they'll combine several orders with one gig. The problem with that is they'll post the gig (with multiple delivery addresses) and show a decent fee but the dollar/mile is weak. Deliveries with Best Buy do this all the time now. Drivers see a gig paying $45, for example, but there will be several items that need to be delivered so distance is maybe 100 miles. This example would pay the driver .45 cents / mile. If you have a pickup truck like I do the cost to run is maybe .20 cents / mile. .20 cents X 100 miles is $20 for gas alone so the driver keeps $25 and that doesn't account for taxes and wear & tear (and might take 90 mins to 2 hours to complete). Something to consider when driving for Roadie. I'm delivering far fewer gigs these days because Roadie is less profitable for drivers.

[@BamaScorpio69]

This is very true.

[@JoshuaBrennan57]

Correct. I would double those expenses just for maintenance. Plus taxes and other expenses as you mentioned. Maintenance is also roughly $0.20 per mile unless you’re 100% DIY. I multi app food delivery and drive 200 miles per day, 5 days per week. I almost 100% DIY maintenance and have 2 old corollas. Even still, my gas and maintenance is around $1,100/mo. This doesn’t include taxes and other expenses!! Like a replacement car, etc. etc. I save approximately $500 off about $800 for maintenance. Making it the $1,100 rather than what would truly be $1,600+. And it’s not easy. Not easy on your body. Stretching and body maintenance is also REQUIRED!

[@BLACKNIGHTKNIGHT]

@ 7:44 with the $33.46, yes you will get paid well for that hour. "But" you would need to find another gig back to Pittsburgh or Eat the Dead-Head miles back home...

[@dirtdonkey]

I've been doing Roadie for a bit, and in a good market (Dallas), but it looks like your market in Philly pays better. Average pay here is about .60-.80/mile, with the exception of the prescription, and Walmart orders. Also, the " huge " gigs pay more, but honestly not that great. Just saw one for $67, and wanted 2 people to deliver furniture, upstairs. Also, you have to factor in the wait times for quite a few of these gigs. While most get you out within 20 minutes, some can take much longer. My best day was a little over $200, just strictly doing Walmart orders, but sadly, those have died off, bigtime. I'm with you, a decent filler app, but I definitely wouldn't recommend it for any fulltime work, besides the week before Thanksgiving and Christmas. The app is easy to use for sure. There's been a huge influx of drivers sign up, so you're going to have a little harder of a time getting gigs. I've noticed a few other observations, but, I don't need to be writing a book on here! Happy New Year!

[@PMAUSMedia]

I am a homeless entrepreneur. I have been such for over 3 years. Getting introduced to Roadie recently has saved me from hunger, not having gas and has given me hope without begging(which I am TERRIBLE at) I cant tell you how many days I sat in my car hungry and petrified of rejection to ask for help. So I say…👍 Roadie. I’m just learning the ins and outs but feel safer and happier than I would with delivery “competition” . I am able to be free and work on rebooting my businesses. Knowing I have this freedom is good. HOWEVER…😳They are REALLY hard to get on the phone in a pinch. The Q&A is ok but SOMETIMES I need a human.

[@analaurahernandez4394]

Do you get paid right away?

[@PMAUSMedia]

@@analaurahernandez4394 yes.. Almost INSTANTLY when you complete a gig, you will see your payment processing in “Gig History “ . You set up BOTH payment options so I’m you can choose to “cash out” when needed or just leave it until Tuesday payday. It is always available to me in less than 48 hours in that case. Their ap is OUTSTANDING…Seriously User Friendly. I actually would love to become a “sales rep ” for them…. I need to figure out how😳

Roadie is the first gig app I signed up with and I’ve never worked on it. I’ve logged on a few times but never used it beyond that.

[@feliciamartin5281]

The trick also with Roadie you can select multiple gigs at a time like today I clicked on 3 gigs and was accepted for all them and Roadie automatically routed them, of the pick ups and drop offs it was great. Also while on the app and doing a delivery , you can go back to the map and try to accept something while in route to another delivery, that way you are not wasting time to deliver to see if you are accepted, just really have to muti task, or if you are waiting at a pickup , you can go back to the map and choose another gig.

I don't know why but after I get accepted for a gig all the others dissappear until I am finished with my current gig.

[@kristahackleylmt2064]

No one seems to calculate in the gas and maintenance. All these apps are designed to favor the business not the driver. When its all said and done, the logistic teams on these apps state the average driver makes between 3-5$/hour. For people that aren't business minded, they are fooled to believe they are killin it.. rakin in the dough. Statistics and logistics say otherwise.

I live an airport and roadie will post gigs to deliver luggage. Mostly 50-200 miles. Last year they would pay over $1 a mile, now they're only offering around .50 a mile for the same type of gigs.

[@drivewaygarage1561]

I started driving for Roadie earlier this year and it started off slow but in my last 6 weeks I have had four $1000 weeks. I sometimes drive 1 1/2 hours to get to a gig but only if there are a few that I can do together and make a couple hundred dollars. I'm taking a chance driving there because I might not get selected for the gig. So far it has worked out but you have to be careful. Sometimes there are duplicate orders and you end up making 1/2 of what you were expecting. I delivered a door the other day and it was the wrong size so I got paid to return it to Home Depot. $50 for the delivery and $50 for the return. Not bad for a 2 mile gig. Lowe's recently started using Roadie but I have only seen a few gigs pop up from there.

[@chuckwilliams6261]

Roadie is my #4 app. I operate a new Honda hybrid, so am willing to go low on $/mile, in order to keep $/hour high.

[@WillGrooverII]

I’m a roadie driver with over 10k dollars made, 500+ five star reviews and I’ve got nearly every badge possible. I drive a duramax dually and I normally only do the larger gigs. I also use a trailer sometimes because there is a trailer certification you can get through roadie. I only work 4-5 hours a day and make quite a good amount. What they say isn’t super accurate because you normally are accepted within a minute or two, and not only that but you can apply for multiple gigs at once and do tons of orders all at once, also you can accept gigs while doing another gig so once you finish one you will have another waiting for you right after. I live in a small town and I see the same drivers every day every morning and we all compete for orders. I think that roadie divides the money fairly and allows us all to easily make deliveries how ever it might not be worth it in some small towns because of competition and there could be no orders at all. So I do agree with you it’s a filler app, but it can easily be a full time app if you live in Atlanta, Houston, Orlando, or any big city.

[@timmarquez713]

I got one once for Home Depot. I was told it was ready, but when I got there, they gave me a deer in the headlights stare like they had no clue what I was talking about. Then I was force to wait there another eight minutes before I was allowed to cancel. The prescription runs I have done though have been trouble free

[@bear_mcpike5353]

Ya Nailed It! :) Filler all the way.

[@surge6882]

Roadie used to be decent early November till Black Friday or December. It is really slow now. Trips are bit far not great pay. But I made some money. In Arizona

[@hlsmcw]

Payouts have decreased and Roadie is denying expense reimbursements more often using delivery start time (in their default ET) against time stamp on the ticket, especially on tickets generated in a time zone west of ET...such tickets are not being converted to ET, making it look like the expense was incurred prior to starting delivery.

[@efrengramajo]

Roadie is good as an app to use in combination with others--i personally combine with door dash. Also, get to know at what time stores release their gigs. Their tends to be patterns to when gigs are released. It'll help you plan ahead. I like roadie a lot but I don't think I would use it as a stand alone app. It's perfect as a filler app.

[@The-rp6do]

3:25 It is so weird.

So many extra bonuses I didn’t get because they were done through Roadie. It’s definitely an app to use when multi-apping.

[@foxeni7174]

I’ve got a five star rating but my area is now saturated. I rarely am able to pick up a gig without more than a 10 minute drive which I’m no longer willing to do.

[@WallStRigged]

I love Roadie but I'm my area almost every order is for Walmart and is very dysfunctional. I don't offer for less than $20 because it's almost guaranteed that you have to wait at least 45 minutes every time.

[@philmoffitt4598]

Why I don't bother with Roadie anymore: The store often doesn't understand the system, so it can take a long time to pick up the order. (45 minutes in one case.) Or I get there, and the order was canceled. They sent me to pick up a pharmaceutical order at a residence (I thought maybe it was a specimen to be delivered to a lab or something), but it was a mistake. I tried contacting support, but they took forever to get back to me. For me, Roadie isn't worth the time and hassle, especially when you have to wait to see if you even get each gig and then plan around it.

[@TailwindDelivery]

They should really pay for that wait time like every real courier service. Unfortunately they’re not concerned with driver retention.

[@promustangman]

I am finding the Best delivery's for me right now is bundles of prescriptions . Or sometimes Walmart

[@timmarquez713]

Sure the app says 53 minutes but it could end up longer which would throw your $25/hr. out the window. I think I’d go just by mileage because that’s set in stone and not gonna change

[@01fxstsi]

I’ve been on with Roadie for about a year. Their support is being abysmal. It makes Uber support look like five star service. Example: I Daisy chained a few Roadie gigs on a Saturday. The final gig turned out to be too large for my vehicle, customers fault. I spent 38 minutes on hold to get someone who then had to call Tractor Supply to prove I wasn’t lying. Once verified she was going to pay me a $4 cancellation fee and escalated the trip to someone else who could remove me from the gig. Over 45 minutes later Iv was still assigned the gig. I gave up and canceled it myself. Roadie themselves gave me a 1 star review for canceling the trip after arriving at the customer. I flew off the handle and Roadie corrected the review. But they made it very clear that the correction was a one time thing and was only a courtesy. Its ok as long as nothing goes wrong. As soon as itv does you’re beyond screwed.

[@inspector360mdusa8]

If you’re still not aware of the last few ideas you brought up about how many gigs one would receive if the driver has 5 stars, 4 badges, 500 gigs and 10,000 miles driven, if the algorithm would choose that driver over someone who doesn’t take their position as seriously, no, I am not chosen and I have to pass many gigs that are sitting close to me, even to the point of having to drive to different states to get the gig. I have noticed however, Roadie does shortchange drivers substantially out here closer to the coast as I see the pay out for similar gigs in, say Pittsburg pay double what they pay in Philadelphia. I was putting nearly 500 miles on my car in a day and yes the maintenance or cost of repairs almost evens out over the long run. I have tried and tried for this company, thinking there would be light at the end of the tunnel; there’s not! No one at Roadie cares about dedicated drivers sacrificing their time, effort, gas for the better good of this company, so I too have learned the hard way, the same thing you said about this niche. I appreciate what you do here and hopefully, I get a hold of your other videos, to learn further.

Roadie is for the early birds, 5-am to 10:00 am here in San Diego. Other than that there are rarely any offers.

[@nathanlamont9920]

My area is the same. If you aren't ready to leave about 9 then you already missed out on the good orders. Medical runs start about 11:00 to 12:00. By 1pm it is dead outside the random Airport run and late medical run that pass less than Door Dash.

[@hummerguy]

Then this maybe a thing for me, I'm always up at 5-11AM lol

[@fredhill8730]

Per mile is what we use in trucking but in the city you should go with per hour

[@LuisAngelVizcarrondo]

Question for you. I logged in to my phone today to the Roadie app and it stated that there was an update, but it would not let me continue without it. I tried to update but it stated that my device was not compatible with the version. I uninstalled the app and tried to reinstall it. Getting the same "Not compatible" message.

[@Hehbbit]

I almost forgot, because I don't have trailers. But I've seen trailer gigs - $65 for 10 miles

[@margaretfrankiewicz5754]

Every time I tried roadie, I was cancelled in the parking lot- very irritating considering I had drove almost 10 miles to gig spot. No- I did not get paid by “Walmart “ very irritated. Roadie didn’t care. Middle finger to Roadie and Walmart for their bad behavior.

[@erikceballos7428]

Idk if someone can answer my question but is there a way to reach out to Walmart spark to be activated. I’ve been wait for about 7months. I don’t see a way to reach them. Thanks

[@DashingFelon]

I think CVS orders might have really changed Roadie! I used to use Shipt only for those and they were quick, but maybe roadie ones are worth it. They’re always $9 for 1-2mi

[@montherahmed1080]

What city u in

[@jasonjacobs2095]

same here in Austin Texas. I started Roadie two weeks ago and now im doing 4 days a week making 400 a week with a part time job.. CVS pick ups really helps your money go up quick! i get like $8-10 for 2-4 miles trips then go back to CVS for another pick up, repeat for 3 hours and end up making $90. Morning runs are the key!

[@Klean_kuts]

@@jasonjacobs2095I only do cvs for roadie I can do 8 in 2/3 hours averaging $10-$13 per trip because it’s quick drop offs

[@ginether6174]

I’m in Pittsburgh too my first day ever doing gig work I took a roadie trip and knew I got under paid for my miles

[@todddesmarais1325]

I try and keep at around $20 per hour. I don’t consider mileage to much.

[@Themanfromohio]

I have waited for over an hour to be approved on a Roadie gig. In the end I didn't get it. I called roadie and called the store, but no one could get me approved.

[@drivewaygarage1561]

I always double the time that they quote because I have to get back to Home Depot from wherever they sent me and where I live a lot of the gigs are over an hour away.

[@leestar871]

What the best driving gig jobs and delivery?

[@perjian1697]

Tried to get an order on roadie today for my first ever trip with them. I submitted on a short trip for $11. Declined. It popped back up. Declined again. It popped up a 3rd time and still got declined and it still popped up again. Garbage app.

[@adamjtoth]

Not if i have to wait 15 minutes to figure out if i'm matched or not. Im usually always busy with 3-4 apps.

[@katrinawilliams7558]

I just started and i kind of like it but my problem is some of my tips are still awaiting confirmation even after my payout day. Like thats the biggest part of my pay that i haven't received yet

[@albertortiz5636]

I sign up for roadie about 2 months ago and i ended up getting a message saying that they couldn't verify my information I try contacting them through email and the chat box and they can't give me an answer on how to fix the problem all they keep saying my ticket got send to higher priority but nothing i also try calling Roadie hq but its like there's no agent in hq they say the wait time it's 2 minutes but I'll be sitting on hold for 20 minutes and still don't get an agent. Can any one please tell me how incan fix this problem so I can get on the road

[@bettylynn66]

I signed up 2 weeks ago and there haven’t been anything in my market. I do live in a smaller area.

[@ianberry5879]

Downloaded, registered, haven't done any gigs yet. All of the gigs are 20-30 minutes away, with a required delivery time, a required pickup time that would exceed the time it takes to get there unless you live 5 minutes from the pickup location, and rarely much more than $1 per mile for the delivery, not to mention the 10-20 miles just to get to the pickup site. I mean I get that the app isn't going to work the same in the rural/suburban areas as it would in a huge city, but trying to make any money in this area is a joke, especially with the ludicrous selection process. Hopefully Goshare and Frayt will improve the parameters of timing and availability, make it worth driving an hour to the built up city area where most of the orders are, but on Roadie it's all $9 payments for a 30 mile drive for small parcels, not Tractor Supply or Lowes deliveries.

[@Cruzinnv]

I guess it would be cheaper for the shippers rather than paying a commercial rate of $3 to $6 per mile.

[@Hehbbit]

the only good deliveries I have seen on roadie are the prescription ones. I found the best is, when they shoot out like 12 offers, apply for all of them, and it's like $30 for 3 miles

[@CjSoCOOL0467]

Thanks for the feedback.Expect more videos soon..send a direct message..i have a Gift for you!!🎁🎊

[@t.j.7789]

Hey, I want a gift, too!!!

[@senorskellig9131]

Why are deliveries only showing up in neighboring cities, while my city is completely empty? But roadie has a indeed job application for my city?

[@zrivera4950]

The real question is..... How accurate is the time to completion?

[@bizztopper]

I live in NYC so I do not go for miles I go for how much I make an hour. My minimum is 20 dollars an hour. In NYC if you go by your mileage average your not going to like it. Being that it takes 30 mins to go 2 miles with traffic sometimes

[@INKEDCREATIONS]

I agree, roadie is a filler app. I've been watching it for a couple months and in my area the pay is garbage. I will use it just to make something if no other apps or couriers are calling. I live in Harrisburg PA and all the offers are spread out pretty far so and profit in a job is eaten up by the drive to the next one.

[@Mike-jk7do]

I had Rodie for about a year and I haven't took 1 job because anything close is not worth it

[@raczyk]

Roadie only a US app, or also available in Canada?

[@Prestige.Automotive]

Well I’m trying to drive but I’ve been waiting for ID verification for like 2 weeks. Not sure what the hold up is.

[@Lulu-yepeyo]

I currently do amazonflex and Roadie

[@kcstarkey9140]

Thanks for the informative videos. 👍 best wishes in '23 you should be working @ prudential or Goldman. Alot of the people there can't form a sentence

[@YourDriverMike]

Thanks for watching!

[@chasemoore1281]

As long as it's 30+ for an hr that's good for me hourly rate all day

[@adamacosta4579]

Your skin is flawless

[@TailwindDelivery]

Roadie’s business model is to undercut everything else to get market share, except that’s unsustainable even with UPS money. UPS could have built and marketed their own app for for less than 700 million.

[@lovingrcTV]

I’ve been driving with Roadie since November 2019. I think it has improved a lot. But it is not one of my top apps to make quick money.

[@trebaines3561]

What app would you recommend

[@TheSilentGal41]

whats app you recommend

[@user-ei3vl2yp6r]

Do you mean $1.75/mi for each gig? Or $1.75/mi for total miles (maybe you drive back without a gig, etc.)

[@lavenderjazzy1808]

Can you get calls and txt messages while you are on the app

[@maximancia4660]

Maybe in others cities pay $1 per miles but in Houston tx roadie they just pay from $.30 cents to $.80 cents per miles you can be on the road all day just to make $60 dollars is not worthy

[@jamesrice4705]

I've had it on for like 6 months and have taken 3 orders on the app with a good miles to money ratio lmao

[@alexmurphy5415]

im on the road already with a vehicle i don't have to pay for.. don't even pay for gas .. i drive 1000 miles a week... if something is on my way.. its pure profit.. im also on the clock already.

[@zenithtrainingchannel9480]

I have 600 rides on roadie. It's really only worthit for positioning

[@theincognitochannel5542]

Just got approved
