I'm having a harder time finding jobs, so just wondered about working for delivery apps.

I just read an article that Uber slashed the number of orders for walkers in 2022, so perhaps the Uber isn't the best option.

I live in a high traffic area, and frankly, riding around the city on a bicycle scares me and I don't have a vehicle. I see people on a bike waiting for orders all the time so maybe it's not the best area either, but I also don't see people on foot waiting for orders outside, for whatever that means.

What would be the best app to work for if you are going to be walking, and what would be the best time to do so if you are a walker?

Thank you guys

Did you have to switch you personal insurance to commercial when using your personal vehicle? Their OAI policy only covers driver injury but makes no mention of coverage for your vehicle.

Hi. Has anyone ever damaged a load from curri?. Only reason I'm asking is because they are making me pay for the damaged items?. Is this normal from them?

Hello. I am new to the trucking industry and have been using different apps to find work for my box truck. 

I have been using FRAYT. At first, I really loved it. Super easy to use, great rates, and quick payments. 

Over the past couple of weeks however I have been experiencing a lot of issues and inconsistency. Drivers have a rating, but it is unclear what the criteria is, or who is rating you (shippers or FRAYT admins). Every time I refresh the app, my rating is lower even though I haven't been on any jobs in weeks. 

Also, I'm not getting any new matches lately even though the reporting shows that there have been over 40 in my area. Does anyone know if the driver rating system affects you receiving matches? 

I would love to hear other people's experience with FRAYT. I want to continue to love it, just hope the issues can be fixed. 

Hello, I have been asked to provide my payslips/employment details to my lawyer and I am unable to find payslips for HungryPanda in the app. I have messaged and emailed Panda and they have not replied. Does anyone know how to get these? Thanks

Looking for owner operators of box trucks and sprinter vans in se Georgia and northern Florida. Please comment below if interested and I’ll send you the email to reach out to.

The next review period is in a few days and my stats aren't where they should be and i only work part time doing about 20 or so orders a week so it's not that easy bringing it back up in such a short time. My question is would i get deactivated if my customer rating is 4.7 it should be 4.8 and my on-time rating is 91% it should be 95%.

What's up with Route4Me? It was a solid route planner in the past but doesnt seem to work anymore.

I need something pretty urgent so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated🙏

My current setup is GH - Roadie - UE.

DD won’t approve me for reasons not pertaining to driving or personal record.

Amazon Flex / Gopuff / Shipt have had me on a waitlist for months now.

I’m currently considering Dlivrd & DeliverThat.

What are you guys currently running and what would you recommend?

I have my own distribution company with a cargo van. Right now since I’m just getting started I don’t always have a route for the van to be running. I’m curious of some ways to put my van to use with a driver in it while I go and sell accounts

Peace to the new couriers that are wet behind the ears....

As a veteran courier, ..Lemme drop game on yall one time in regards to a common passive-aggressive hustle that clients like to run on you in direct regard to ChipotLe.

Behold, Da side-of-salsa hustle! 👀

Chipotle charges for a side of salsa(I believe its like $1.25 or somewhere close to that)...anyway, the point is, they charge for it. So here's what slick customers like to do: They will message you inside the app, asking YOU to ask Chipotle for an extra side of salsa as a passive circumvention around *PAYING* for that side of salsa in the doordash app.

They didn't just majically forget to include the salsa in their cart when they checked out, ....

Naw, ....NAW SUN! Them mofoz deliberately abstain from ordering a side of salsa, hoping to use you as a passive proxy to get a free side of salsa for them by way of an imaginary form of favoratism between the restaurant and the courier, meanwhile, they are cunningly throwing you in the line of fire when they do that.

The remedy: Dont even acknowledge the text asking for an extra side of salsa. That person is attempting to manipulate you. I've seen it happen numerous times.

Take this gem and save it in your mental flash-drive....

Peace....

I've seen some contributors on this subreddit that indicate you can make money as a medical courier. But...I've also read others that said you can't make money. For those of you out there that believe you can in fact make money I'd appreciate your input if you can give this post some time.

Doing some research I'm pretty comfortable with total cost per mile for my Subaru would be about .39 cents per mile. The more I get per mile the better but what beyond that makes one courier successful and another courier not successful?

I'd be a part-time 1099 contractor operating my own car. After expenses I'd like to make $20,000 --- It's my understanding that pay per mile will be 1.00. Does it seem with effort that I could take home $20,000, I recognize I'll be paying both sides of FICA.

Thanks for any insight.

Me and my two buddies came up with this owner-operator business idea that will hopefully allow us to make a decent chunk of change over the course of a decade. We are going to pool our money together to buy a semi truck and a trailer. The idea is that together we drive the truck 24/7 running deliveries without stopping (except for gas, food, and repairs). We'll get a decent sized cab so that two of us can sleep while one person drives. Then we switch off after 8 hours. This will be our 24 hour work cycle. The plan is to split all profits evenly between us.

Also, all three of us are going to get married to each other so that our finances are combined (completely platonic). Why you ask? Our combined earnings will compound much quicker if they are together rather than apart. Additionally, our combined brainpower will increase our trade successes. We will get divorced when we retire so don't worry about anything weird happening. After we get some bank built up we are going to install a PC with multiple monitors so that we can simultaneously trade stocks while making deliveries. The truck will be our business, home, and trading office. Then, after we build up even more bank, we are going to install some bitcoin miners in the trailer that runs off the engine so that we are making money whenever the engine is on. We may install some solar panels on the roof of the trailer with batteries so that we can continue to mine bitcoin and trade stocks whenever the engine is off. We might start a YouTube channel to vlog our business for additional income because this is such a unique cool idea. We are currently in the process of moving out of our apartments and selling off our belongings. We are going to take a look at a semi to buy next week.

The goal is to be able to retire after roughly 10 years. I think we can get this done with our delivery income, investment income, bitcoin mining income, and YouTube income. We are in our early 20s so the hope is to be done working by the time we reach our mid 30s. I'm consulting you gentlemen here so that we can get some tips on how to further make our business more lucrative and efficient. We are not here to get our minds changed on the core idea of running this business with my buddies. Is this a realistic goal? Any concerns we should have? Please leave any thoughts you think might help us accomplish this goal. We can provide our professional background if that helps with potential advice. Thank you.

Eventually I just take a photo and leave. But I don’t understand why people do this.

Is it me or is it hard to find courier jobs that provide a company vehicle and when I do find one they want experience needed. Seems like Im out of luck I’ve applying onIndeed and ZipRecuriter and no luck. Any advice on how to find a driver courier job not really trying to do a app like roadie

Curious, what is the biggest thing that gets under your skin when doing this kind of gig-work?

Hello!

I'm new to doing gig driving and I've been enjoying doing Uber Eats, but I'm trying to decrease my empty time between orders by adding in Doordash. I attempted my first DD today, but have been struggling to figure out how to balance the two apps without getting unscheduled for DD?

For example, I had DD scheduled for a chunk of time today, drove a bit with no orders, had to make a phone call so went offline to do so. Tried to resume the dash but I was no longer scheduled so it wouldn't let me dash.

I managed to hit a few dash now time periods, but I kept getting UE orders come in before DD gave me any, so I ended the dash to do the delivery. But then I was no longer active for the dash now so couldn't turn DD back on.

I'm sure I'm doing something silly, but I'm not sure how people usually assure they're able to get both apps to be searching for orders without having to continually keep signing up for new DD shifts.

Thanks for any help!

Hey, quick question for anyone making deliveries to condos in Toronto or the GTA – do you visit these buildings often?
If so, shoot me a DM. I might have a small project where you could help me out and make a bit of extra cash along the way. Happy to explain more privately!

Any good apps to use in Michigan to make decent pay ? Preferably Detroit area

Online ordering should be done through the resturant specificly, then they should send that order out to all delivery apps to have each app compete for the order. Or something of the like.

The demand is there , if they just suddenly switched up the process, everyone would figure out how to order; we all still want delivery.
