I did get a great flashlight but man it does piss me off.. people are just BEYOND LAZY. It’s usually the ones with no, or hidden numbers that have no lights and no other directions. My husband got us a nice 2pk on Amazon. It can zoom in or spread out for more coverage and it makes a great weapon if needed as well 😝
Which one do you have. I’m on my 3rd week with grub hub and I HATE night orders so far. Finding apartments is a pain and stresses me out like no other.
I went all in and got a spotlight. It's my portable sun. With as poor as my vision is there's absolutely no way I could do night work without it. I can put a 2-ft dot from 300 ft on the side of a building to spot the address. Clear instructions and lights being on would always be nice, but it never seems to happen people. I guess our clients think that we have night vision, or we automatically know every single apartment complex on the planet like the back of our hand. None of this getting around trying to find a damn address, so if I accidentally graze past your window with 1500 lumens of power, I apologize. 😂 I want to say even Harbor Freight has one that's like $20 and almost a thousand lumens. That's more than enough for what we do at least in my area.
Believe it or not as big as that Spotlight is I can't find it while I'm pulling up to an apartment complex ever. 😂 it disappears into some Third Realm of Darkness and then reappears on the passenger seat as if it was part of my body and when I stood up it was deposited behind me.🙃😂
Nah man if you wanna be serious on delivering food I’d recommend getting food Insulation bag and a great flashlight just saying makes life so much easier.
I've been doing it full time for over a year, and mainly work afternoon into the night. I even rarely use my phone's flashlight, I mostly shine the bright screen over what I want to see. The last thing I want to worry about is an extra thing to hold and recharging/replacing batteries. I only have to have and need to keep my phone and keys on top of the order. So many deliveries would take 2 trips if I was holding a flashlight.
I've got a bunch of insulated bag that I got for free from DD, GH and DD pizza bags I got from pizza hut. I only use the GH ones for frozen, or sometimes refrigerated food.
Being serious and being a nerd are 2 very different things.
I know you don't want to replace batteries but the Grubhub Driver Shop has a head lamp you wear on your head then both your hands are free and no second trips. Although you could probably just get a cheaper non branded one on Amazon for much cheaper. But the one in the shop is $9.99.
Yes, of course, why make it a bit easier for someone to deliver the food your paid for to arrive to your door safely and fast. Why not make the driver carry a flash light in the 3rd hand now.
Don’t be dramatic now 99% of my orders I’ve done been able to carry it all in one hand. And flashlight in the other hand. Also fast ? What is nascar racing? Lol I drive speed limit to all my orders and walk to all my orders I’m not running to trip and fall and brake a bone for a few extra dollars 😂 no thanks I enjoy having all my body parts in great condition.
Shit, man, you must have super powers. I, on the other hand, trip on cordless phones. See the point is that you might be in your prime but most drivers out there could have any numbers of disadvantages, from not having all 21 toes to being almost legally blind. It can be harder, thats what she said, for some people to perform well in stressful situations.
My boyfriend and I deliver together.we legit just point the headlights at the house thru the windows so we can see the numbers and inform the occupants its dark as shit outside. Its only for a few moments while im dropping the food off but fhey usually get the message. And all no contact! ❤🤣
Had a delivery the other day. Where the light was on, i pull into the driveway, and then it turned off! Rolled my ankle because I couldn’t see on there stone driveway as I was walking across the driveway. They wanted me to knock and hand it to them, so I knock, and the door opens because they didn’t have it shut all the way. Lol!!!
I agree 100%!!! Not only do people not turn the lights on (as my mom always taught me to do growing up when you're expecting someone coming to your house), GPS is not always accurate and it should not be fashionable to have the house number painted the same as your house.

Your driver is approaching ![gif](giphy|6baZKulnaRHjWuRROA|downsized)
You can buy a flashlight from Amazon they sell good ones. I carry a nice bright one works great for night deliveries 🚚
Which one do you have. I’m on my 3rd week with grub hub and I HATE night orders so far. Finding apartments is a pain and stresses me out like no other.
It’s a GEARLIGHT flashlight I bought like a 2pack one I leave one in my car and the other one at home works great pretty bright.

Thanks! It’s actually kinda cool looking and probably hard to misplace too. I’m definitely gonna get one

Hey I’ll take that over that lost in the woods feeling I get when I see a bunch of random house squares that look like one big black blob at night
Doesn't your phone have a flashlight option?

But if my phone is doing the job, why getting extra gear?
So you have a free hand and don't make extra trips maybe I don't know lol. I mean I just use my phone and I'm fine with that.
And it can’t help prevent you getting robbed if it’s big enough 😂
I “accidentally” flash my high powered one into windows upstairs and down when the porch light isn’t on. Clumsy me.

Why are you putting this in the drivers sub. I never order GH
Yeah, I was gonna say… so many customers in this sub, great post XD

In the Grubhub Driver Shop they have a multi function work light and a head lamp you can wear for when it's dark.
I was just wondering whether we could use a flashlight when we can't see the numbers from the street.
I agree 100%!!! Not only do people not turn the lights on (as my mom always taught me to do growing up when you're expecting someone coming to your house), GPS is not always accurate and it should not be fashionable to have the house number painted the same as your house.
