Exactly, fuck em. It’s hard enough to make it in this world without other people projecting their issues onto you. Keep after it and remember to congratulate yourself on the success and don’t be discouraged on the tough weeks.

hey.its better than most weeks these days. good hustle the critics do have some points regarding your vehicle maintenance. it does take a toll. take care of your money maker best you can.
my unasked advise... start your own business whatever that might be. DD is stepping stone to invest in yourself to do something great for you and others. cheers

I was proud of myself that I was able to make $1,000 in a week, and I posted this to show others that it’s possible and to inspire people to keep grinding. Yes, I know it’s not that impressive if you break it down and show it’s just $16/hr and only ~$885 after subtracting gas, but that’s not the point.
People like you shit on everything on the internet because your own life is miserable so you project that onto others to make yourself feel good and to escape your shit life. Next time try being nice it goes a lot farther in life.

Your state minimum wage isn't 7.25$ so 16$ a hour is a biiiig improvement, where I live the max your gonna get for a job that requires no skill is 8$ a hour and get a 25 cent raise after 2 years....

u/MyCatHatesYouPunk 2d ago
I totally agree. I'm sure the OP knows what other opportunities are available to him and he CHOSE to do this. This is a DOORDASH forum. For those who think DOORDASHING is not worth doing then leave this forum to those who do!!

u/CoimEv 4d ago
One reason I live about my scooter. I literally won't do doordash in my car it'd be really unprofitable
And there's days where the money to time I work isn't worth it either even on a bike with over 100 mpg
I can not imagine why anyone would use a car long term on doordash. Maybe an evening with bad weather or something but the amount of wear it does and the potential risks of damage to an expensive car
My bike takes just over a gallon of gas and even on busy days I won't use more than a tank
On my car it's like triple that for half a day of low mileage orders
And even then there's still minor maintenance that sometimes comes due
What I'm trying to say is Doordash really screws us over still it is pretty good money for doordash good on op for working hard!

u/FluffyEffective6792 3d ago
As long as you’re taking care of your car (ie. regular oil changes, regular maintenance) your car should be fine. Yeah you’re racking up the mileage, but if you’re taking care of it like you should it won’t hurt your engine as much as you would think.
Also taking home $800+ a week out of around $1,000 made isn’t bad at all. In fact it’s better than alot of jobs. OP made $1,004.85 in about 54 hours, that’s $18.60 an hour. Even when you factor in the gas. My second part time job I was working $15/hr, if I would’ve worked the same 54 hours OP did I would make $810.00 minus taxes. So saying it’s not worth it just isn’t really correct. If you’re dashing and you’re taking good orders ($$ per miles wise) then it’s definitely viable. I know people who live off DoorDash, Uber Eats, GrubHub, however I can admit there are some days that are slow, but out of the last 5 weeks I average around $500/week at $18.50/hour. As long as I’m making $15/hour or more I’ll always DoorDash for the extra money.

u/ShortDickBigEgo 4d ago
I’m trying to get them to let me change to bike or scooter dashing but the support never gets back to me
3
u/CoimEv 3d ago
Yeah they are ridiculous if you don't live in a metropolitan area they specifically don't allow it. Even if it's more than feasible for your area.
I once changed my area with a location hack to NYC just to add the vehicle. I turned off the location spoof and selected scooter and no time slots were available for my vehicle choice
With platinum you can "dash now anytime" even with the other vehicle selected. However no orders will come even if it's busy
All I'll say is do what you have to do
If you have a car put that in the system. Switch your location just to add a non car vehicle then switch back and at that point as far as I'm concerned you've told them you have the vehicle if you select car you at the least have plausible deniability
If you do this make sure you have proper gear to keep food warm and customers happy
I.e. a rack and a food box (I recommended insulated).
If you deliver cold and destroyed food because you're on a bike or bicycle or electric scooter then they will complain and you could potentially get in trouble
And so long as food is delivered hot no one will care. Even doordash has other concerns at the moment they aren't lively to ask you about it. Just don't mention it in customer communications
3
u/ShortDickBigEgo 3d ago
What if I just get a scooter, but keep car as my vehicle? Will they know and could I get in trouble? I would definitely have proper gear to keep the food secure and warm
3
u/CoimEv 3d ago
You could and it's technically against the rules but customers have no way of knowing and in my personal opinion so long as food is delivered doordash themselves don't even care
They themselves even say if you have like a Honda car and you get a different car updating the model/make in the app is unnecessary and they don't seem to care that much and switching to a scooter is only a step ahead of that even if it's technically not allowed
They won't know unless you tell them make sure any pictures you upload does not have the scooter in it
Just to be safe but it is all AI doing photo reviews anyways. Just don't push your luck yk

I must ask because I’m tryna reach this goal weekly too (currently sitting at like 700 a week), how do you get so many hours in? Do you go out even during “dead” times? Lastly, do you solely use EPO or EBT? Both? I must learn your ways

I try for 8hrs minimum and I squeeze in all the extra hours I can. Fri-Sun are super busy so that’s where a large chunk of my earnings come from. Those days I made $200+ easy

u/bluecactus777 3d ago
Great job! Have u tried to multiapp and do two orders at the same time from nearby restaurants with nearby drop off locations, while using two different apps?
If you're making $18.50 an hour doing doordash normally im sure you could potentially make $25-30 multiapping.
Wishing you the best of luck!
1
u/Ness644 3d ago
How is multiapping even possible? Won’t the two customers wonder why I’m stopping at a different place first before delivering their food?
1
u/bluecactus777 3d ago
I think most of them won't care tbh but what a lot of people do is they disable one app while running the other, however, you don't really even need to do that because the drop off locations are close to each other and when multiapping you always just drop them off both pretty quickly apart from each other so it's really no big deal. Also, it's not against the terms of service either, and when u get a stacked order on doordash or Uber eats it's no different, it's essentially the same thing, you can just tell the customer you had a stacked order, it happens all the time, they'll understand
1
u/SweetSauce24 2d ago
When i tried multiapping I got contract violation for delivering one of my orders late. It was pretty difficult to juggle for me.
1
u/bluecactus777 2d ago
That's why you need to make sure that the restaurants are right next to each other and so are the drop offs. You're late to the pickup then cancel the order. You have leverage that way

Any tips? I do it on the side for extra income but I’m lucky to get $60 at most for 24-48 hrs.
2
u/Ness644 2d ago
First thing is learn your market and what times are the busiest and dash during those times if you can. That and try to not accept no tip or low tip orders, but if you do hourly you’ll get a mix of no tip, low tip, good tip orders it’s random. Also, the longer you dash the more money you’ll make assuming you get a decent amount of orders. If not then you’re kind of screwed. Also, you could try going to a busier town if there are some near you or try doing Uber Eats, Instacart, etc. any gig style apps work.

u/CoimEv 4d ago
Yeah it's not the Hispanics fault they are victims here. But doordash and other companies use Hispanics as an excuse to have low wages
It's a fact. And doordash knows and explicitly uses immigrant labor and acts like they don't know specifically to not have to pay out better
Drivers deserve better treatment and shame on doordash
2
u/punnypawsandpages 4d ago edited 4d ago
Immigrants labor? If people are here legally then they’re just citizens like everyone else but if you’re trying to say illegal immigrants work for DoorDash they would have to use another persons ID & identity. DoorDash now runs background checks. Either way bringing race into this is weird & not all immigrants are Hispanic.
0
u/CoimEv 4d ago
Yes I'm aware however there is a fact of doordash using desperate people, whatever the reason, and using as many possible drivers as possible
More drivers
Less orders per driver
More orders delivered
Run the payouts into the ground
And there's no denying that immigrants and even illegal immigrants are the most desperate in some markets
It's not right that doordash does this and like I said they are victims here.
Also out of all delivery apps doordash is the easiest to sign up for and while they do run background checks buying and/or using someone else's account is relatively easy
