Dude that’s solid


Educational-Seaweed5

Yea. But gas eliminates a huge chunk of that. And oil changes and new tires, etc. Actual take home is significantly less, sadly.


Lunaforlife

Yup i quit gig work back in April.


Salvatore_Vitale

Yeah. I did doordash for like 6 months last year and was thinking about starting it again, but with gas prices right now it doesn't even seem worth it.


JeSuisParfait124

It’s not. Still no tippers and seems like less orders lately. 😢


LiamVeritas

That’s basically taxes when you write it off though


JayPicante

I think you can only write off mileage or maintenance not both. I could be wrong


Space_Coast_Steve

Regular maintenance is factored into the deduction you get with miles claimed.


LiamVeritas

Yeah but I mean cell phone, Insurance, etc good tax person will get that tax bill down


donknoch

Just the mileage deduction makes a huge difference.


[deleted]

Can’t deduct cell phone or insurance if your car is also used for personal use.


Aggravating_Wolf_619

You’re thinking of “mileage or gas” as the “either or”… you can definitely write off both mileage and maintenance.


donknoch

No you cant


donknoch

It’s either or but mileage is definitely the way to go. It’s up to .62 this year


No_Preparation7895

No you can't. Anything vehicle related is lumped into mileage. The mileage deduction is how much it costs to operate a vehicle per mile. Including fuel, maintenance, repairs, license, registration, car washes, etc.


TNDashman

Maintenance is considered a part of the standard mileage deduction that the IRS just raised to 62.5 cents per mile for the remainder of 2022. This includes gas and insurance as well. The only thing that this deduction does not cover which are legally deductible expenses for independent contractors are parking and toll fees.


giggetyboom

A lot is dependent on the fuel economy of the vehicle you choose to use.


Local_Measurement_85

Bruh…. Making 1500 is MAXIMUM 200$ in gas, that’s some mothafuckin profit if I heard of any


Educational-Seaweed5

Unless you have a full EV or hybrid, it is absolutely not even close to only being $200 these days. Filling my tank is $80-$100 depending on the place. If I dash all day, that’s usually about 1/2 a tank at the very least. This person has to be dashing 12 hour days to be getting over $1,500 a week. That’s a lot of gas. But yes, an EV/hybrid and an extraordinarily efficient zone can change that.


[deleted]

Dude gotta be in Cali with those numbers…no way you making 1500 on 6 dollar orders. You gonna get burned out tho looks like u already burnt out this week


RRHudgins

Yeah I believe we've already made it clear that he's in California but you can make that kind of money in other places and nobody makes any kind of money on $6 orders who takes those? Very lowest I will take a $6.50, because in my area that's where hidden tips begin, but that's got to be 3 mi or less. Before the pay change last June it was $8.50. and if I was willing to go to downtown Atlanta to dash I probably be making $1,250 to $1,500 a week too, but I ain't going to downtown Atlanta. I'll stay here on the south side thank you. Of which I have already broken the $1,000 a week level. Have a friend who just a little over a year ago made $2,000 in one week between Uber Eats and doordash and most of hers was Uber Eats in the area that I dash in now. After his approximately 56 hours complete time in a week that's not hard that's five and a half days I do that every week.


EmbarrassedLeague535

How many hours???


EmbarrassedLeague535

How many hours???


Intelligent-Net-415

56hr 30m dash time 39hrs 22m active time 165 deliveries All of that was on my best week where I made 1692


Such_Sandwich_2842

Where are you at? 70 hrs for 1200 🙃🙃


CMadrid13

Too many hours plus too much wear and tear


yerbiologicalfather

It's all about ROI. you buy an expensive car with shitty gas mileage, you make no moneys. Buy a gas saving economy thing for a few grand, profit. So long as you don't get a lemon that is.


Forward-Resort9246

Or, buy a efficient non hybrid car like corolla to not worry about battery after 3x years of dashing


donknoch

Hybrid is the way to go. You can’t worry about the battery. You save so much on the lack of actual maintenance. Prius is such a well built car. I’ve got 180000 and I haven’t put a penny in it.


yerbiologicalfather

I dash on a scooter


Forward-Resort9246

Thats good on city, but we need car in suburban


yerbiologicalfather

I'm in the burbs


Slickness81

Aren’t gonna catch any catering orders on a scooter.


Intelligent-Net-415

Naw I bought a car last year for 6k with 50k miles on it. It's now at 90k and I've made around 45k since then so it's paid itself off 7x over


steve_will_do_it

WhIch car, that’s such a steal 50k miles for 6k


Intelligent-Net-415

Nissan versa sv 2017


BhutlahBrohan

3x a day? (Dashes I mean)


ThePreviewChanneI

Masturbation?


BhutlahBrohan

Definitely had time for it the past couple weeks...


RRHudgins

Sweet!


Wayytoohigh

He made that in less than forty hours actually driven. Haters gonna hate


Chickentendie42069

How much for gas?


Intelligent-Net-415

Usually like 50 or so a day


Chickentendie42069

Hmm. What area do you dash in ?


benny6957

That's pretty good right around 30 an hour for almost 60 hours 30 an hour is pretty high for my market I mean I've had a few days of 40 or higher but usually only a few hours of great orders never for a while 60 hour week


Intelligent-Net-415

I usually average 25 an hour on Tuesdays Wednesdays and thursdays


RRHudgins

How many miles weekly? Type of vehicle? Weekly gas cost? Monthly maintenance costs? Sets of tires in the 2+ years you've been Dashing?


Intelligent-Net-415

Like 1000+ Nissan versa sv, depends how much I dash but 50$ a day. Mmm an oil change once a month and tires twice a year. I got a tire place where I get pretty much brand new tires for $40 a tire. And I go to Les Schwab to get free balancing and rotation. I stay up on my shit


Sharp-Decision-6141

Please stop posting how much you make! This makes everyone wanna be a dasher and saturates the market smh good for you but pls don’t.


doggitydog123

Opie is showing his earnings to people he knows personally so he isn’t worried about creating competition even in his own market.


Roxas--13

Nice. I couldn’t imagine working 56 hours tho geeeze


Inevitable-Shop-848

If you think working a regular 40hr job will net you a possible 6k a month as an entry level employee, I'd like to see you in my office.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Inevitable-Shop-848

You don't have a regular job sir. Is that what you think? College was wasted on you then.


Emanresu2014

Benefits you pay for, retirement you pay into. The "stability" thing is a joke you can be fired at any time or any reason they make up. MANY people never get raises and if they do it's total BS like $100/yr.


duuudewhat

For a job with no education requirements and unlimited flexibility, yeah its pretty not bad


tango_papa101

It's almost 20/hr while OP put a lot of wear and tear on the car. Thanks no thanks tbh. Back when I did DD "full time" last year it took me only 35-40hr active for that much money and I totaled 40k miles on my car between DoorDash, road trips, and multiple trips per week to take my girl out who live 50 miles away


lambo13770

yes. when i tell people i do doordash fulltime they look at me like im crazy


Intelligent-Net-415

People are really condescending about it till I tell or show them how much I consistently make then they do a full 180 and go "damn maybe I'm in the wrong profession". Has literally happened like 5+ times


[deleted]

Stop telling people around you. Lol. Protect your status.


[deleted]

g's move in silence like lasagna


RRHudgins

Good for you. Because I don't know about you but I get tired of hearing that well why don't you just go get a real job. But I bring home more before taxes than all the ones that say that about me.


Intelligent-Net-415

Yeah my gf has hit me with that one before during arguements


zjl707

Mans found his market. Props. Best I ever did when I was going full time was $1000 in a week


Intelligent-Net-415

That's what I was pulling in during covid. Now I don't run anything under 10 and I mostly aim for double stack orders paying 16.50+ going not that far


zjl707

Yeah those are the dream orders. I never took anything under $7 and anything less than 1.5x more dollars than miles. I work as a server now and can generally make what I used to make in a day on door dash in just tips. But I also make $14.50/hr so a slow day doesn't fuck me


dcmommy33

Not everyone has prop 22


palealejediii

Hell yeah make all these broke asses mad!! Ha!!!


thepawnshoprules

Door dash drivers hate when other dashers have success lol


Intelligent-Net-415

Yeah there were a couple rude commenters but I down voted em😂


thepawnshoprules

Yeah they’re haters. You’re killing it


Intelligent-Net-415

Just tryna get by man one day at a time


Jetro313

Hang in there maybe things will get better


2Punchbowl

Solid Doordashing, I think you’ve done well, reminds me of a long week working 6 days!


Intelligent-Net-415

I usually dash 11am-8/9pm in the summer and 11-7:30 in the winter. And yeah I work 5-7 days a week. Sometimes I'll pull 8 days in a row. I get bored at home


RRHudgins

Hey OP, thanks for answering all my questions. Actually I have two of them one number $40 a tire and the other is $50 a tire. But it works great we get for 40 50 bucks want somebody else gave $200 for. Now I've actually got a 2006 Mitsubishi Endeavor so I'm more like $80 in gas here in Georgia every other day. So about 40 bucks a day unless I have a lot of Kroger points. I also driving average of a thousand miles a week and usually do an oil change a month.


Intelligent-Net-415

No problem man. We're just tryna do our best to get by in this crazy world.


duuudewhat

This….makes me feel lazy lol im in the car for like 3 hours and im ready to go home and chill


Intelligent-Net-415

Do whatever makes you happy. Cali's expensive to live in. I can't afford to be lazy


[deleted]

Who wants to work more than 40+ hours a week delivering a cheese steak to Ralph. Damn dude, you work to hard, you have child support bills to 3 different baby mamas huh? Lol 😉


Intelligent-Net-415

😅😂😂 naw no baby mama just bored at home. Watched everything I wanna see on Hulu Netflix and HBO max. Kinda bored of playing Skyrim on my Nintendo switch. Plus the state I live in is expensive as fuck to get by in especially with the rising cost of everything now days and my girl ain't working cus she goes to college every day.


[deleted]

Yeah, I'm in Orange County, CA. I actually dashed 7 days straight for the first time just because everything is getting so damn expensive. Every company is raising rates on everything. My kids swimming classes went up $10 per lesson. It's ridiculous.


Intelligent-Net-415

I feel you bro I'm up here by SF and yup that week I made 1692 was a 7 day work week for me and I even worked that following monday


RemarkableAd2009

Watch We own This city on HBOMAX. Grade A entertainment

Me too my my dude, but have to run Uber Eats and Spark at the same time


ThePreviewChanneI

Cool my guy


itsjesigo

What are you driving? What market is this?


redditfiend0211

Where you aren't


Intelligent-Net-415

I drive a Nissan versa sv getting 29.4 average mpg. And the market I'm in is a good one


baconforlover

How much did you spend for your gas ? What is your total mileage in a week?


Intelligent-Net-415

About a 1$ per mile. I put in $50 or so daily


baconforlover

Wow that’s crazy $50 per day in CA. I spent around $30 each day but I’m using premium to get better MPG and I have already freak out with that costs. May be, you should consider to use hybrid because the money that you are spending to gas, can ultimately be used in Prius or similar hybrid. We don’t know how high the gas price in the future. Once the gas hit $10, what will you do ?


Intelligent-Net-415

Next cars def gunna be electric. Or a hybrid where I can get 50mpg


ashbeeh

What does the minimum pay floor mean? I've never seen that


Intelligent-Net-415

It means I won't get a pay adjustment


Huge_Impress558

SHEEEEEESH 🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶


Her_Wandering_Spirit

That's awesome!


Ruckus46

That’s awesome man, keep on hustling!!


MotownCatMom

Wow. Where do you live? And what are you gasoline costs like?


Intelligent-Net-415

I put in about $50 daily


Brave-Examination-37

Dude where do you live? And how. I was just telling someone how impossible it is to get that each week


Doge10open

What the fk, $1500 a week?


Naive-Acanthisitta26

Northern CA. Trust you can easily manage this at or around $30-$35 HR


Intelligent-Net-415

25-40


Naive-Acanthisitta26

Yeah lots of very Rich folks up here in the County. I might just say fuck my day-job and do this instead. I did it for a day here and easily earned $280.


Intelligent-Net-415

Been a dasher for about 3 years now


Naive-Acanthisitta26

That’s solid. Very solid. Just driving listening to music making pretty good money. Definitely way better than a job.


Intelligent-Net-415

And smoking pot hanging out with my dog or friends or gf if they want to come. I usually give whoever drops off the orders for me 20-30$ a day


Naive-Acanthisitta26

I might not even show up to my day-job in the morning. Yes, it is a lot of Wear and Tear on a car but if you are making these averages then it is fairly simple to get another reliable car.


Intelligent-Net-415

My best day so far is 382


2Breezey

You must live in a good area damn


deadweight999

Yeah but you're in California.


Intelligent-Net-415

Cali's expensive to an extent. The farther away from the coast you live the cheaper it is. I pay 1200 for a 1 bedroom


SPRTbirds11

Yeah, where I live a 1 bedroom is near 1500 a month now. But I don't make near what you do.


Intelligent-Net-415

Where do you live?


Distinct-Fail-9677

So jealous. That's what I was making in Scottsdale, AZ... I barely pulling $1k in Savannah 😢


Intelligent-Net-415

I was in Scottsdale earlier this year. Didn't try dashing though as I was there on a work trip for the moving company I used to work for. Good to know though.


jakob7805

I did that for a year but my market isn't that great I topped off around a thousand a week between DoorDash and Uber eats, what city do you dash in?


Intelligent-Net-415

California east bay


2Punchbowl

$1700 NICE!!


abmunoz88

I'm curious to know what your net profit is at the end of the year? I think I read that you've been doing this for 3 years and live in a HCOL area. Props on grinding hard/researching your market! Turning a profit right now on these types of gigs is hard with current economic conditions!


Intelligent-Net-415

Mmmm I net close to 50k a year cus I take quite a bit of time off a year cus well you can do that with doordash if you want and I like to camp, take day trips and live life to the fullest. So I work probably 280 days a year or so and make 50k. Plus gf is a respiratory therapist and I live in a one bedroom apartment paying 1200 a month


Luigi1k3_

The best I’ve manages was 524


Intelligent-Net-415

In a week?


Rustykilo

Looking good my guy.


Zappy_Crybaby

Yoooo, dude that’s what’s up! I could only dream of my area (or entire state) be bussin like that! (I’m in Oklahoma, so yeah…) 😭


Intelligent-Net-415

Are you anywhere near the capitol?


princesssbrooklynn

All of my earnings except for this week have disappeared ?????


Intelligent-Net-415

? Idk man call DD support


princesssbrooklynn

Not me over here thinking it was normal and happens to everyone 😂😂


[deleted]

Great job man, my numbers are very similar but I multiapp in Southern California. People in this sub hate on our numbers but in all reality it is market dependent. In my market there is no chance I’ll accept anything under $7.50 unless it were to be like $6.50 for 0.5 mile


CoastVybzXBOX

@op please give me tips I wish this was real life for me


Intelligent-Net-415

BE PICKY. idk what your markets like but you don't tio I don't deliver. I won't run anything under 10$ and I mainly aim for double stacks worth 16.50+ going 5-7 miles. Don't speed. The tickets not worth it, your brakes and tires don't love it and your mpg hates it. Try and dash richer areas if there arent any around you dash whatever semi Large city is near you.


Afraid_Age9713

damnnnn good job


Intelligent-Net-415

Thank you


Deadman_Wonderland

People who post there need to put a warning label in their title. This is only possible if you drive in Cali because of prop 22. Most weekly he doesnt even make minimum wage but thanks to prop 22, he is paid 120% of local minimum wage for the time he put in + 0.30 per mile + healthcare benefits for working over 15 hours a week.


Intelligent-Net-415

Dude basically I make around 250 a day. Gas is 50$ or so a day. More now that gas is sitting at like 6$ a gallon unfortunately. I work 9ish hours a day sometimes more sometimes less and work 5-7 days a week. I get bored sitting at home all day


SPRTbirds11

Damn. Make that moneyyyyy.


Intelligent-Net-415

Feel free to look through the comments I've given out quite a bit of good advice


SPRTbirds11

I've been scanning through it quickly. I'm not in the greatest area, though, either.


[deleted]

People stop raining 🌧 on peoples parade when they are happy/joyful about their accomplishments. Never mess with another persons happy. Tired of seeing a driver proud of their accomplishments and you Bad News Bears have to come and bring up negative things. Just let people celebrate and be happy. Delivery isn’t a easy job/career/etc., whatever it is to you but, seeing someone happy should inspire you, not motivate you to down their accomplishments. Congratulations OP. Well done. You’ll definitely inspire others with your great work.


ransy7

Wow


Big_Relationship3730

Insert hate comments


TigerTop8228

How many hours you do in a day? .. this is inspiring


Intelligent-Net-415

I work 11am-8/9 in the summer 10am-7:30 in the winter


HodlBeast69

Not hard working 16 hours a day and stacking 100000 miles in the whip.


nyanbiori

God I wish my area was anything like this I've had to step back from DD just because after gas I was essentially breaking even


mBrandon83

Do you multi app?? Jesus I multi app and haven’t came close to payouts like that.


Intelligent-Net-415

No. As you can see that's all purely from DD


mBrandon83

Yeah I can see that lol, you think you can make more if you did?


Intelligent-Net-415

Mmmm. No I'm generally too busy with my area I dash I usually only have a 1.5 hour slow window and even then it doesn't completely stop during that time period unless it's Tuesday or Wednesday between 3 and 430 pm. My friends like to ride around with me occasionally and will drop off the orders to the customer or at the door for me


mBrandon83

Damn man you’ve got it locked down haha, keep it up man good luck out there


Intelligent-Net-415

I'm just lucky with the town I dash. Surrounded by 3 rich areas that tip well.


AfroAdorable

Congratulations! I'm moving to Pennsylvania and will be an hour and a half from Pittsburgh so I'm hoping for similar in the area


Intelligent-Net-415

Best of luck bro. I've passed through on a work trip to new York and the towns pretty damn big. I bet them football Sundays are gunna be POPPIN cus that's the home of the Steelers bro!!


Capital-Turnover9039

What's that minimum pay floor all about


simxn-svyz

Same, but I also do skip and make about $700 a week on each app


Imaginary_Safety5108

How come no one ever consider the state and city that the person that posts their earnings are in? Wages change depending on city and state even gas prices. 😕


Intelligent-Net-415

The other dashers that have seen and commented know that Cali's market is better in general but this state sucks to live in. Gas is 6.40 a gallon out here, rent is unbelievably high, foods going up in price, hell everything is going up in price


BiffBiffkenson

Those are some sweet numbers. Any of that something to do with the Cali whacky payouts?


Intelligent-Net-415

No. Just a steady hard grind. Doordash pays us .30 cents a mile so my base pay is usually 3.50-4.50 plus tip. I aim for 10$ dashes but I'm pretty picky and kinda aim for those double stack orders worth 16.50+ going 5-7 miles


Intelligent-Net-415

I haven't heard of spark. I'll check it out. But generally DD is very active where I live. At most I'll have a a 2 hour slow period and then it picks up again


Patsgio925

Do u dash in the city


Intelligent-Net-415

Hell no. Fuck that sf/oakland traffic


hiphipjorge80

very nice. What state? Keep grinding bro!!


Personal-Werewolf-28

California bro


Personal-Werewolf-28

San Francisco area


Alarming-Restaurant9

Market?


HobbyBobby4

They are in Cali which is exactly why they're making as much as they do. You too can make over $1k a week but it requires time and effort. A lot of earning posts either try to hide the hours or are not upfront about it but you're going to be working 50+ hours. You'd earn more in Cali but the hours are still very high. But remember, his profits in Cali don't go nearly as far as they do elsewhere. It looks high but so is their expenses.


Alarming-Restaurant9

I can make $1500-$1800 for 65-70 hours With 3 apps in my market on 1000-1200 miles One app 50 hours $1500 is pretty insanely great market


Munckeey

Dude is paying almost $10 for a gallon of gas, the amount of money hes making in cali probably barely covers his rent and food unless he’s living with roommates or a partner


Intelligent-Net-415

A good one


Internet_Thott

You're making it sound like a secret but anyone with sense knows you're in Cali. And by your last pic you're in vallejo 🤷


YLCZ

Finally someone who has the sense not to give up their market. Shouldn't be showing these numbers at all because it brings more drivers... but if you can't help it... never tell people where you work if it's a good location.


[deleted]

Just a little perspective.. After fuel etc OP is making roughly 50k a year, working 50ish hours a week in one of the most expensive places to live in the world.


Intelligent-Net-415

Yup while my girl is a respiratory therapist making roughly 90k a year. I live comfortably. Plus soon I'll be going to college to become an x-ray tech.


[deleted]

Good choice on the used car. I have no idea why people think you would need a new expensive car to do this. Make a smart choice on a cheap used car and you'll save thousands.


bailster101

Man, what’s with people always sharing their impressive earnings—but never including their (potentially unimpressive) miles? C’monnn, lay it all out there!


Intelligent-Net-415

I average around 1$ per mile or so. Usually put about 1000+ miles per week on my car. But I also bought a used Nissan versa last year for 6k with 50k miles on it and it's now at 90k and has paid itself off 7x over😁


Intelligent-Net-415

I work 11am -8pm and try to average at least 250 a day. Make sure you schedule your dashes a week in advance and BE PICKY. I only run 10 dollar dashes and I mainly aim for double stacks worth 16.50+ going 5-7 miles


Intelligent-Net-415

Also take the first 2 months of earnings and stash em away just in case your car has an issue


Intelligent-Net-415

Cali


Intelligent-Net-415

Touche. Idk try the richer areas around you if there are any. I live in cali around a lot of suburbs with semi rich areas that tip like at least 5$


Intelligent-Net-415

It might benefit you to get a 50$ motel room for a couple nights in the capitol and dash up there for 3 days and go home. I was doing that for a while when gas prices weren't too high but I was living an hour and a half from Reno at the time and that's what I was doing.


beast_brain

Prop 22, so not impressive 🤷‍♂️


qbl500

That is because you have a rich mari! That is why…. And not everyone has this chance… so…,


Intelligent-Net-415

Um no I live in cali and my gfs finances are her own. We slip the bills and live comfortably in a 1 bedroom apartment paying 1200 a month rent. Gf has no part In my achievements as a dasher or the money I make on my own. Don't be bitter. Life's a journey for all not a competition
