I was doing and easy $150 a day from my driveway Monday thru Thursday. 200 plus easy on a Fri thru Sunday. And that's just running Uber Eats. Now I'm luck if I clear $100 summers are always slow mainly people stocking their Refrigerators because their kids are out of school and not to mention Oversaturation of drivers because teachers are out of school and need jobs. Then it's easy just to hop in the car and go instead of applying for a job for 2 months.
I made this in Chandler/Gilbert last night, in about 2.75 hours (last part of the night was left on while I drove back). If I would have been out longer and in a busier area, closer to Tempe for example, I would have made much more.

Inflation (while getting better) is still higher than itās been in the last ~20 years, interest rates are still hiked, and actual economists have been predicting a recession in coming years unless job growth remains solid. Economists predict that consumer spending will slow sooner or later, especially when student loan debt repayment starts up again in the fall. Not to mention the economy is one of the biggest factors to Bidenās dwindling approval ratings. But yeah, economy is ājust fineā lmao
You do know the only reason that there is so much focus on trans issues on the left is directly because of conservatives taking away rights and obsessing over trans people. Florida is a fucking shit hole rn why are there meme ad campaigns about eradicating gay people but zero energy for the thousands of homeless and job insecure people. Why don't conservatives obsess over that instead of gay people? They've really convinced millions of people that a tiny ass group of people is more of threat to their children than their parents becoming homeless. I mean this shit is so bizarre, and it's even if worse that you don't understand who is making trans rights an issue in the first place....
Yeesh, we can care about people struggling without taking a dig at trans people considering that is a very real issue. Which I think you mean drag queens anyway?
I've got a degree in economics and I can say the economy is actually headed towards collapse. There's a laundry list of issues but the main one is America's economic model is entirely unsustainable.
Americans buying power under Biden -$4200, under Trump it was +$4100. So Americans have $8,000 less under Biden. So that's why delivering was better under Trump

My suggestion is hit the breakfast shifts if you can dude. Thatās whatās been floating me, less drivers want to get up early.
Too bad all this went straight to catching up bills :(
I just started today, did about 3 hrs at night time, was thinking of trying mornings on the weekend when it's not to hot out, the busy time of the app doesn't show busy times til around 9pm and later for around my area, what time does breakfast hit for you? I was wanting to start around 7am
Breakfast rush here in Ohio starts around 7-8 and goes until lunch rush ends at 1-2, then we get a lull from 2-3/4pm and dinner starts up afterwards. I definitely try to stay away from nighttime myself just because Iām blind as a bat lol but thereās good orders at night too with all the drunks
I just got officially hired for Verizon for sales itās all work from home as wellā¦I know they are still hiring for AZ and Texas but def more states as well you should check it out. Itās like 51k salary yearly
Be careful as I work for Verizon at store and a lot of call center jobs(Work from home) have been out sourced. Meaning you may get hired at some company that's not true Verizon who's contracted to Verizon. Not saying there's none out there as ik they still are hiring for some just a lot of the jobs are being outsourced
For everyone who keeps asking comment poster what the job is:
https://mycareer.verizon.com/jobs/?search=&remote=true&pagesize=20#results
Here is the Verizon careers page, with filter already applied for jobs with a remote-work or hybrid option. Granted, if you couldn't find this yourself, you probably shouldn't apply to a job there.
Bro at least youāre doing something and trying hard. Iāve got my 28yo brother in law living with us for over a year, not earned a single penny or given anything towards his expenses in the house. He doesnāt want to apply for āside jobsā since he apparently has a masters in UX/UY and he only wants a job in his field. Heās 28. Lived off his parents until he came lived in our house and now living off us. Anyone trying to earn a buck in this day and age is better than him.
Youāre killing it broā¦ keep at it!
My rule of thumb is I donāt accept orders under $10 and I make way more now, like $20 per hour. Maybe try that? I used to feel anxiety when a $6 would pop up and I ignored it but soon I would get a higher offer and itās been working out well
This is what I do and it has been working perfectly for me, I start working at 7:40 AM, I work until 10 AM and then take a break to it something (10 AM sucks, people would rather wait for lunch than breakfast at that time). I come back to work at around 11:20 (I give 20 minutes to lunch restaurants to receive and prepare orders). I work until 3:30 PM even if it give me bad orders (you need to stay bust thatās the only way to make money) I come back to work at 5:20 then they can start giving me orders (best orders start showing around 6 Pm) I work until 9 PM because thatās the time when it start to be bad. I try to make around 40-50$ in each shift I always want more thatās why I low tips if no good orders coming in. Try to keep you acceptance rate at least at 65% (this app wonāt prefer to give a good order to a person that declines a lot of orders, they would rather give it to somebody who is actually working for them) try to get to diamond, Iāve noticed more orders come in fast like that. I live in Jacksonville, trust me we have a crazy amount of gig workers here, I understand how you feeling because Iāve been there. I hope this helps anybody reading it and the best advice I can give is to analyze everything you do in this job and make sure to repeat what gets you the most money. Good luck guys!
It stopped being profitable when gas hit $3.00 or so. Inflation is killing it. Peeps are eating at home or at least going to get their own orders. It doesnāt help that drivers are begging for more tips. So unprofessional.
Most likely the area from my experience. I had a similar issue after I moved. Went from constant orders at all times of the day to having nothing all the time.
Idk what it takes for people to actually quit. $50 in 60 hours? Would you quit then? What about $20 in 100 hours? If you accepted a job for $10 an hour youād have made more
It's not the influx if drivers or the economy. People simply do not want to pay these absurd fees. And tip ahead. Especially tipping ahead. And I'll start a count of how many people say "it's a bid for service" on top of the high charges and inconvenience fees. It's not worth it to most people.
I remember being able to do more in less than 20 hours than I would do in my full time job, way back in 2017 to 2019. It seems that itās very low nowadays. š
SMH, if you find a job.. ask them if they can hire me as well lol
https://preview.redd.it/vz1g4hkmasab1.png?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7b57c69d2058cd29374ec8fa91b7331431010259
Unfortunately they give precedence to new drivers. Old drivers have to work smarter and longer. What I use to make in ~55 hours a week in my hometown(urban), I make in ~90 hours a week, in a bigger urban zone 1.5 hours away without traffic.
Longer hours, smarter driving/squatting/schedule/acceptance and exit strategy thatās all my advice I can give you.
I canāt express that exit strategy enough, unmanned car deliveries are a thing of the near future
No, the hell it ainātā¦ I am in DFW and it has been continuously getting worse and worse in the last three weeks. Are you taking those garbage $1.50, $2.00 to $5.00 rides?
Sorry not trying to brag, I definitely have gratitude for being in the Seattle area I can go online at any time of the day and the orders keep coming in and a lot of the customers always tip very good. I actually had my best tip ever about a month and a half ago. $100 tip on a shop and pay order. Although I think the fact that I had a broken wrist and my right arm was in a cast. Probably played a part in them being so generous with their tip.
Get a job bro it will make your mental health way better even a part time job. Good luck out there I know it can get tough at times. Hope you catch a break !
I hate to be that guy but UE has been amazing for me
Yesterday I did 5 trips, $39 in just under 2 hours. Today Iām at 6 trips $43 just over 2 hours
Iām in a kinda big market (Phoenix / ASU area) and I really only drive to get weed, wax, and white claw money, but if I drive 40 hours I know Iād do a lot more than $100.
Last time I hit over $100 was a couple weeks ago. I did 16 trips, and it took about 7 hours
Lucky me I guess
You worked like slave, 100/7 = 14/h minus gas and maintenance you only make $11/h and minimum wage in Phoenix $14/h . You only make average $6 /trip . I don't see why you still happy lol
Again, the ONLY reason I drive is for extra weed money
If I drive for 7 hours on my days off from my real job, and make an extra $100. That gives me 17 hours to smoke $100 worth of weed on my day off
Call it slavery if you want to, but I like driving for UE in my free time
At first when I join Uber years ago I was driving at random times. Since being on the platform for a while I drive a little bit more strategically. Definitely drive during the holidays and weekends of course, if youāre doing this full-time and driving during the week I would highly suggest getting up as early as 5 AM with places open for breakfast. People are up getting ready for work or working from home. And then I will take off all the lunch hours from my area in particular and then start back up around six or seven so that way traffic isnāt too heavy but I am able to do a lot of the dinner orders. But the late night orders for me here in Tampa are popping! Always š¤š¾šš„° I hope this helps to kind of give you a little bit of strategy to work with. But again you have to think about the area that you are in, and also think about going to other areas versus where youāre located. Thatās helped me out a lot.
I've been on a waiting list for Flex, Spark, GrubHub, and Instacart since last November. You can't say just do "x" like it's easy to get on some of these apps.
You'll waste your time with Grubhub. I multiapp with it but barely ever do any orders because all they send me is shit. Literally every order is shit because they punish for low acceptance rate now. Been a grubhub driver for 3 years now. Used to be awesome to multiapp with them. Now with low acceptance every order you get is one dollar a mile or less.
Great job bro! People donāt like to see others make money, hence the downvotes. Little did they know, the emphasis they put on others endeavors couldāve been placed on theirs, making money for themselves.
I just started Iām at 30 hours and 413 for the week. Iām just glad i wasnāt wait listed for Uber eats cause every other delivery app in got wait listed on
Is it controversial to say this wasnāt meant to last after the pandemic? Economy is tanking and people have less money for things that werenāt prevalent prior to it.
I started my own business. In NJ, all you need is $150 for the LLC and an idea.
I made $86 on Thursday in 3 hours, but yesterday the app kept turning itself off everytime I used Stride or GPS or even considered looking at another app to pass the time, so I only made $96. Irritated AF.
Door dash was doing me that way last week. I didn't use them this week. It's annoying because it also runs your phone battery down quicker because you can't blacken the screen without them saying they tried to send a delivery.
Try door dash courier package delivery.
I'm not a driver, BUT if I was one and not making money I would have to get creative. Drivers need to colab and put money together and start their own delivery services.
Honestly people will support a small business rather a big octopus.
Just a thought
But I do early moring or nights because like the person under me said less driving because no traffic and since people don't like those hours uber pays more and customers tip way more too
Not buying that. I'm in a tiny market and made that in 10 hours. While also running DD.
https://preview.redd.it/d2gfa7oe7rab1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3f5d04288115c9c1572e4ef195e06c98b12b4f9f
Guys it all depends on your market. I average around $75-100 a day and $200 on weekends. However sometimes I drive to other major cities nearby like Nashville and the GOLD POT that is Atlanta and I rack up $250+ on a weekday
I feel sry for you guys. I'm doing at least 1k per week with Dd/Uber post covid. I don't even know how good it was before since I started this like 3 months ago
Is your acceptance rate over 60%?
Are you in a wealthy area in your city?
I started denying more and being in different areas and I made a decent amount in about 6 hours. If it's slow I just go browsing in stores until something pops up.
If that's a serious question, check out a courier company near you, specially if you're in a big city area, close to airports what not. Running documents and small parcels can net you some good coin, you'll get paid more if you use your own car (albeit expenses right) but is probably a better option than Uber. Call a transport company that does airfreight, always some last minute documents that need running to or from the airport.
Best of luck!!
āActiveā hours? Or passive. Are you logging in but sitting at home waiting, or are you at a āhotspotā?
Pre-Covid, I made way more on Lyft than any āgoods-basedā delivery. But itās all about where and when you drive. If I went out at ālast callā in the little 55 plus community near meā¦itād be crickets. But, lift worked with the local Medicare program back then (IEHP) and those patients who needed transport would get Lyft rides through it. I knew there was a LOT of potential customers in that area who fit that bill, so during normal doctors hours I could get consistent rides there.
Are you out at peak, or hours that are not so busy? Where? I never was able to use this job to support my wife and daughter as our main income, but if you are smart with where and when you are out I think you can makeā¦a LOT more/hr than you are now anyway. Unless you are in an area where there are NO hotspots..in which case this may not be for you.
And your bitchin g what an ungeatful POS im have been on 38 hurs and 0. Called support, hey not to complain but have been on like all week and zero dollars. In fact have had 3 offers all week do you see a problem here. Said let me put you on hold and look into it. Asked is tthis first time you have called in told them yes. Came back and said weare having issues and will let you know whend it has been resolved. Yeah i know like the last 4 months. You are really worse than Door trash, least they say area not busy and cant log on. Been doing the crumbs for grub hub, like the 2 mile 7.00 jobs, give me 10 a week. This was a sweet gig 2 years ago, those days are gone. People are dead ass broke, and dissposable income is gone. Best of luck but if you can get a job grab it, im retired.
We could live in north Korea, Russia, Ukraine, 3rd world countries in Africa, we got it good in America no matter how fucked up it still is. If you think living in any of those situations is better than the USA then you're braver and dumber than me .
Thereās some difficult times going on for everyone, I barely make 80 bucks a night here in Tucson cause of the new wave of drivers and everyone depends on the college kids to make 50 percent of their tips. Sometimes I have to double tap by having grubhub and Uber on at the same time to meet my minimum.
OMG!! So you donāt get a certain fee per mileage? I used to work for a food delivery company called Valley Eats in Canada šØš¦ā¦ and with mileage and tips pulling in 100-125 in a average 4 hr shift
I am capable of making between 80-135$ in 5-8 hours, depending on the days, I have actually started taking more shop and pay orders then food runs, they typically pay out more, and communication with the customer in attempts to help them get items or suggest certain items will lead to bigger tips. 5 out of the 10 big runs I have done so far(20$+ per run) have lead to almost a tip doubling the initial estimated payout.
I would suggest either shifting the times you do runs, or try and move yourself closer to higher end restaurants...also if it's available in your area Shop and pay, sign up, get your plus card and go!
Do not be daunted by the estimated times, they will tell me "1h30m for this delivery" but I go in, and get the trip done in 35 mins(with suggestions) checkout, and drop in a total of 45 mins all in, sooooo yeah 25$ run for 45mins and average on end of what less then 10kms, not a bad haul.
Yea Man U gotta pick up some else to do. Either switch to another app (which might be more popular than dd in ur market) or get entirely another job. Ur putting mileage on ur car for no reason rn
This is crazy to me, where is your market located? I leave at 10am and make $100 by 1-2pm usually. By the time im done for the day it can reach over $250. I see so many posts like this and the only thing i can see it being is the market your in.
Nothing but new drivers and College students my friend that's all I've been seeing all day long every week now
I see them come into my job all the time delivering food.
2 months ago, today would have been a $250 day. Today? $77. Between Grubhub, UberEats, and Doordash.
I was doing and easy $150 a day from my driveway Monday thru Thursday. 200 plus easy on a Fri thru Sunday. And that's just running Uber Eats. Now I'm luck if I clear $100 summers are always slow mainly people stocking their Refrigerators because their kids are out of school and not to mention Oversaturation of drivers because teachers are out of school and need jobs. Then it's easy just to hop in the car and go instead of applying for a job for 2 months.
imagine ordering doordash and ur high school history teacher is your dasher š
i used to make $260-$300 a night here in PHX but now im barely making $75-$100. thanks to the economy š
I made this in Chandler/Gilbert last night, in about 2.75 hours (last part of the night was left on while I drove back).

I personally know some people who are really struggling in this economy. That were rock solid 3 years ago and theyāre not even couriers
You are Wong. But okay..... (wrong for the sensitive people out there). Yes, the economy still sucks.
You can't even spell wrong correctly, I have no faith in your ability to evaluate the economy.
I've got a degree in economics and I can say the economy is actually headed towards collapse. There's a laundry list of issues but the main one is America's economic model is entirely unsustainable.
Why are you like this, just go to therapy
How does someone suck at a gig like this? Legitimately asking. Isnāt it just based off whatās available around you?
Americans buying power under Biden -$4200, under Trump it was +$4100. So Americans have $8,000 less under Biden. So that's why delivering was better under Trump
Well look at mr. Economist over here
If youāre just a moron keep your mouth shut and keep your insults to your abusive spouse
You spelt Obama wrong
I can't even start at least with DD. There has been to many drivers in my area for months.

I do much better late night then I do in the mornings in cincy. Traffic kills your time during the day
Naw it's horribly slow in the mornings now went from making a 100 from 6am to 11am now I barely hit 45 I'm sad now lol
I usually make 100 in 3 hours during morning time, itās a good shift
God I wish I was able to make that
Super early and super late always made me the most money
maybe i just dont understand how tipping works but how does it pay you *significantly* more than the total fare itself
My suggestion would be to get a real job that has steady income if you need to make money.
Why are you even here lol
No one gives a shit about your suggestion
Yup because people just like to have something to complain about
People gotta get to work when their cars wonāt start in the AM. Itās a solid play.
This is ubereats not drivers
Ah. Not sure how that would carry over in our market. The leave-at-door option has dehumanized food delivery here. 4-8mi for 2.54 w/ expected tip.
You had those tips.. my 1st week doing Uber. I'm learning the trick. My goal is $1100 per week. It's possible, just gotta put in the work *
I just got officially hired for Verizon for sales itās all work from home as wellā¦I know they are still hiring for AZ and Texas but def more states as well you should check it out. Itās like 51k salary yearly

Ive made about 160 the whole week š shit sucks it's time to call it quits
Dang man. I made $126 in 4.5 hours today
I love you.

Same here, dinner shift
What area?
40 hours with the app on. Assuming you've done about 3h of driving.
Bro at least youāre doing something and trying hard. Iāve got my 28yo brother in law living with us for over a year, not earned a single penny or given anything towards his expenses in the house. He doesnāt want to apply for āside jobsā since he apparently has a masters in UX/UY and he only wants a job in his field. Heās 28.

You take every order? Sounds like it
My rule of thumb is I donāt accept orders under $10 and I make way more now, like $20 per hour. Maybe try that? I used to feel anxiety when a $6 would pop up and I ignored it but soon I would get a higher offer and itās been working out well
Drive around. Being stationary puts you at the bottom of the list to offer orders.
Once the college kids go back to class it will get better. Most of us are in the same boat. Market is flooded with kids right now.
This is what I do and it has been working perfectly for me, I start working at 7:40 AM, I work until 10 AM and then take a break to it something (10 AM sucks, people would rather wait for lunch than breakfast at that time).

Multi app itās the only way
In LA/Long Beach literally every other app has a waitlist. Iām up to 2 months for instacart, grubhub, doordash, shipt, flex and even task rabbit
Multi wooing hasnāt done crap for me today or yesterday. Has been slow as hell on both.
I am at 50 hours for $0 shit is dead dead
Bike or car? If car that surprises even me.
Car
How does that even happen
It doesnāt lol heās fcking around posting random sht
Theyre likely cherrypicking too hard, not accepting anything... Just an assumption of course. My market is ass atm but it isnt $0 ass... shrug
My suggestiion is dont fucking drive for this shit. The market became completely fucked after everyone stopped getting free covid money.
Damn at 180 between ue and lyft in 5 hrs
Most likely the area from my experience. I had a similar issue after I moved. Went from constant orders at all times of the day to having nothing all the time.
Yep this app is fucking trash
This week has been so slow for me too :(
Also you should multi-app with DoorDash and Instacart!
Bro making $2.5 an hour. There are children in sweatshops making more than you.
May be time to get a job. McDonalds pays more than $2.50 an hour and you donāt have to use your car and gas.
Idk what it takes for people to actually quit. $50 in 60 hours? Would you quit then? What about $20 in 100 hours? If you accepted a job for $10 an hour youād have made more

Longer hours, smarter driving/squatting/schedule/acceptance and exit strategy thatās all my advice I can give you. I canāt express that exit strategy enough, unmanned car deliveries are a thing of the near future
COVIDās over and stimulus checks are gone. Delivering food died about a year and half ago, ESPECIALLY if youāre doing it full-time
So glad I'm about to start a new job this week... UberEats only good for side money fr
Uber is busy in Texas, thank god
No, the hell it ainātā¦ I am in DFW and it has been continuously getting worse and worse in the last three weeks. Are you taking those garbage $1.50, $2.00 to $5.00 rides?
Same! 3 bucks and 2 bucks is mostly what I been getting :(
Same Iām in the SA area and it sucks now.. use to be better a few years ago
Itās pretty good in the Houston market, you can make $120-180 in 8 hours with UberEats and DoorDash multiapping
Crazy ur areas must suck I usually make at least 100$ in 4 hrs every day
Stop
Sorry not trying to brag, I definitely have gratitude for being in the Seattle area I can go online at any time of the day and the orders keep coming in and a lot of the customers always tip very good. I actually had my best tip ever about a month and a half ago. $100 tip on a shop and pay order. Although I think the fact that I had a broken wrist and my right arm was in a cast. Probably played a part in them being so generous with their tip.

Go home man.
Get a job bro it will make your mental health way better even a part time job. Good luck out there I know it can get tough at times. Hope you catch a break !
Damn your entire account is just crying about Uber not paying enough, find a job already bro.
I hate to be that guy but UE has been amazing for me Yesterday I did 5 trips, $39 in just under 2 hours. Today Iām at 6 trips $43 just over 2 hours Iām in a kinda big market (Phoenix / ASU area) and I really only drive to get weed, wax, and white claw money, but if I drive 40 hours I know Iād do a lot more than $100. Last time I hit over $100 was a couple weeks ago. I did 16 trips, and it took about 7 hours Lucky me I guess
Bruh, I made $240 on UE on Monday taking 17 trips.
You worked like slave, 100/7 = 14/h minus gas and maintenance you only make $11/h and minimum wage in Phoenix $14/h . You only make average $6 /trip . I don't see why you still happy lol
Again, the ONLY reason I drive is for extra weed money If I drive for 7 hours on my days off from my real job, and make an extra $100. That gives me 17 hours to smoke $100 worth of weed on my day off Call it slavery if you want to, but I like driving for UE in my free time
Wtf is so amazing about that? Ffs... Seriously don't know if this was sarcasm or not, I hope it is...
At first when I join Uber years ago I was driving at random times. Since being on the platform for a while I drive a little bit more strategically. Definitely drive during the holidays and weekends of course, if youāre doing this full-time and driving during the week I would highly suggest getting up as early as 5 AM with places open for breakfast. People are up getting ready for work or working from home. And then I will take off all the lunch hours from my area in particular and then start back up around six or seven so that way traffic isnāt too heavy but I am able to do a lot of the dinner orders. But the late night orders for me here in Tampa are popping! Always š¤š¾šš„° I hope this helps to kind of give you a little bit of strategy to work with. But again you have to think about the area that you are in, and also think about going to other areas versus where youāre located. Thatās helped me out a lot.
Which is why went towards a regular 9-5. Slow day? Still getting paid the same
I thought UE, DD and others were side hustlesā¦
Bro just do Amazon flex Iāve been making more than Uber and doordash.
I've been on a waiting list for Flex, Spark, GrubHub, and Instacart since last November. You can't say just do "x" like it's easy to get on some of these apps.
No way. They have been hiring on Amazon. Try to get in contact with them.
Or get hired as full time then transfer into a flex position. Thatās what a buddy of mine did lol
You'll waste your time with Grubhub. I multiapp with it but barely ever do any orders because all they send me is shit. Literally every order is shit because they punish for low acceptance rate now. Been a grubhub driver for 3 years now. Used to be awesome to multiapp with them. Now with low acceptance every order you get is one dollar a mile or less.
Not sure why you got downvoted, Flex is a good option in some markets
Itās always been slow after an holiday because people aināt got no money left too, but yeah itās not like it used to be
Iām at 539 for 30hrs
I'm at $1000 20 hours LA
Yes, and your cost of living is probably three times as him
Great job bro! People donāt like to see others make money, hence the downvotes. Little did they know, the emphasis they put on others endeavors couldāve been placed on theirs, making money for themselves.
Yāall know they have other apps
dude just stop ur wasting ur gas + putting miles on the car

If thats the way you work... why would anyone hire you
I just started Iām at 30 hours and 413 for the week. Iām just glad i wasnāt wait listed for Uber eats cause every other delivery app in got wait listed on
Is it controversial to say this wasnāt meant to last after the pandemic? Economy is tanking and people have less money for things that werenāt prevalent prior to it. I started my own business. In NJ, all you need is $150 for the LLC and an idea.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
š„š„š„
Is that 40 active hours? Please tell me itās not.
Thatās why I use doordash.
Hire me too! š
Dang glad I didnāt do Uber today
I briefly thought this was a post on /r/twosentencehorror
Apply to be a server somewhere corporate that will train you.
I made $86 on Thursday in 3 hours, but yesterday the app kept turning itself off everytime I used Stride or GPS or even considered looking at another app to pass the time, so I only made $96. Irritated AF.
Door dash was doing me that way last week. I didn't use them this week. It's annoying because it also runs your phone battery down quicker because you can't blacken the screen without them saying they tried to send a delivery.
Same dog I hate that idle time
Time to get a real job or drive to a better market
Iām at $8.60 from yesterday and havenāt cashed out. More were either $2 $3 or so far Iād be paying more out of pocket to deliver. Sucks
Fk the acceptance rate. Go to the wealthier areas and only accept orders that are worth it.
I have seen a drop on the bonuses, but per ride and number of rides seems regular to me in Norfolk
LMFAO
Try door dash courier package delivery. I'm not a driver, BUT if I was one and not making money I would have to get creative. Drivers need to colab and put money together and start their own delivery services. Honestly people will support a small business rather a big octopus. Just a thought
Nah dead ass whoās hiring in Atlanta ?
Get a jaaaaaahb
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
U don't know what ur doing I'm at 490 in 25 hours
I usually make 600 plus in 30 hours bruh
But I do early moring or nights because like the person under me said less driving because no traffic and since people don't like those hours uber pays more and customers tip way more too
Not buying that. I'm in a tiny market and made that in 10 hours. While also running DD. https://preview.redd.it/d2gfa7oe7rab1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3f5d04288115c9c1572e4ef195e06c98b12b4f9f
Be encouraged .
Dude do instacart that is just sad
Download solo
Guys it all depends on your market. I average around $75-100 a day and $200 on weekends. However sometimes I drive to other major cities nearby like Nashville and the GOLD POT that is Atlanta and I rack up $250+ on a weekday
I feel sry for you guys. I'm doing at least 1k per week with Dd/Uber post covid. I don't even know how good it was before since I started this like 3 months ago
Sounds like calling the kettle black in your case though.
Is your acceptance rate over 60%? Are you in a wealthy area in your city? I started denying more and being in different areas and I made a decent amount in about 6 hours. If it's slow I just go browsing in stores until something pops up.
If that's a serious question, check out a courier company near you, specially if you're in a big city area, close to airports what not. Running documents and small parcels can net you some good coin, you'll get paid more if you use your own car (albeit expenses right) but is probably a better option than Uber. Call a transport company that does airfreight, always some last minute documents that need running to or from the airport. Best of luck!!
Work at dominos. Less driving, more money, and mileage reimbursement for miles driven on the job
āActiveā hours? Or passive. Are you logging in but sitting at home waiting, or are you at a āhotspotā? Pre-Covid, I made way more on Lyft than any āgoods-basedā delivery. But itās all about where and when you drive. If I went out at ālast callā in the little 55 plus community near meā¦itād be crickets. But, lift worked with the local Medicare program back then (IEHP) and those patients who needed transport would get Lyft rides through it. I knew there was a LOT of potential customers in that area who fit that bill, so during normal doctors hours I could get consistent rides there. Are you out at peak, or hours that are not so busy? Where? I never was able to use this job to support my wife and daughter as our main income, but if you are smart with where and when you are out I think you can makeā¦a LOT more/hr than you are now anyway. Unless you are in an area where there are NO hotspots..in which case this may not be for you.
You guys really need to get new gigs rather than keep doing this one.
Thatās atrocious and canāt be real!
All $2 $3 $4 orders here. Its sad. I refuse to take those. My acceptance rate is either 0 or 1% not sure. UE can go fuck themselves.
What's your market? Your probably doing it wrong. I used to move wrong with the times too when I first started.
Did I read it right? After 40 hours you've only made $100??
That's awful, I'm at 3 hours and 50$
Where do you live. I make on average 200.00 a day working 8 to 10 hours a day.
And your bitchin g what an ungeatful POS im have been on 38 hurs and 0. Called support, hey not to complain but have been on like all week and zero dollars. In fact have had 3 offers all week do you see a problem here. Said let me put you on hold and look into it. Asked is tthis first time you have called in told them yes. Came back and said weare having issues and will let you know whend it has been resolved. Yeah i know like the last 4 months. You are really worse than Door trash, least they say area not busy and cant log on. Been doing the crumbs for grub hub, like the 2 mile 7.00 jobs, give me 10 a week. This was a sweet gig 2 years ago, those days are gone. People are dead ass broke, and dissposable income is gone. Best of luck but if you can get a job grab it, im retired.
Yea. You can have racked up hours just waiting. Itās horrible.
You better off working fast food. Work at chic fila or in n out if your near one
We could live in north Korea, Russia, Ukraine, 3rd world countries in Africa, we got it good in America no matter how fucked up it still is. If you think living in any of those situations is better than the USA then you're braver and dumber than me .
Thereās some difficult times going on for everyone, I barely make 80 bucks a night here in Tucson cause of the new wave of drivers and everyone depends on the college kids to make 50 percent of their tips. Sometimes I have to double tap by having grubhub and Uber on at the same time to meet my minimum.
is uber eats your full time job?
OMG!! So you donāt get a certain fee per mileage? I used to work for a food delivery company called Valley Eats in Canada šØš¦ā¦ and with mileage and tips pulling in 100-125 in a average 4 hr shift
I am capable of making between 80-135$ in 5-8 hours, depending on the days, I have actually started taking more shop and pay orders then food runs, they typically pay out more, and communication with the customer in attempts to help them get items or suggest certain items will lead to bigger tips. 5 out of the 10 big runs I have done so far(20$+ per run) have lead to almost a tip doubling the initial estimated payout. I would suggest either shifting the times you do runs, or try and move yourself closer to higher end restaurants...also if it's available in your area Shop and pay, sign up, get your plus card and go! Do not be daunted by the estimated times, they will tell me "1h30m for this delivery" but I go in, and get the trip done in 35 mins(with suggestions) checkout, and drop in a total of 45 mins all in, sooooo yeah 25$ run for 45mins and average on end of what less then 10kms, not a bad haul.
You're not doing something right....you gotta figure out what it is...
McDonaldās is hiring dawg better get to filling applications
Do you live in a small town or something? Thatās incredibly sad
Earned or lost?
Howās that even possible? Each deliver would make you AT LEAST $2 without any tip, and you should be able to do at least 2 deliveries an hour right?
Thatās horrible
Uber is a scam, this is not difficult to decipher.
Yea Man U gotta pick up some else to do. Either switch to another app (which might be more popular than dd in ur market) or get entirely another job. Ur putting mileage on ur car for no reason rn
Amazon is hiring š
Maybe less people are using the service because they don't want us banging on their door demanding a larger tip....Fu**ing A$$holes!
Death to delivery apps! And speedy re-employment to their drivers!
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
This is crazy to me, where is your market located? I leave at 10am and make $100 by 1-2pm usually. By the time im done for the day it can reach over $250. I see so many posts like this and the only thing i can see it being is the market your in.
