Rule of thumb, Don’t drive exhausted like you said, take a 1 or 3 hour nap and chug water, big difference, last week I wasn’t feeling it, took 3 days off, now I’m alive 😅😂
So I have been doing Uber eats for a week now and I have already had weird encounters. Some guy tells me to meet him at the front door. So I go to the front door and I call him he doesn't answer but he text me he said come to the back of my house? I'm in the backyard and I'm like I'm sorry I cannot do that because I was really scared and then he just kept texting me over and over again come to the back of my house and I told him I'm sorry sir I cannot go to the back of your house I will leave your food on the front porch. Moral of the story I just had a weird gut feeling that something wasn't right and then I heard all these people laughing so I don't know what they were up to but I was not going to go back there LOL
My advice, just leave it at the front door, take a pic and leave, i follow the customer notes most of the times but before i confirm delivery, I’ll text them and say it’s delivered then press delivered and on to the next, I never answer their phone calls or text if they still bug me
I remember I delivered food in a pretty shady area at night. Nothing crossed my mind until I realised how abandoned the area was and how dark it was when I completed the delivery. The reason why I usually deliver at night is because I find it easier to deliver with less traffic and it usually gets busier at night.
I can only add......"dangerous" can also be a perspective thing when out and dealing with people 🤷 I'm a larger guy with previous and varied degrees of training. So I'm not easily bothered. Where my friend is a small guy with no training and is noticeably nervous around anyone who looks "dangerous". The driving part is on point
I just wanted to say, as a new sub, thanks for making your videos brief & to-the-point. You include a lot of helpful tips & tricks for delivery drivers. When it comes to safety, I would tell new drivers to trust their gut feelings and if you do feel weird or uncomfortable completing a delivery, just call support and cancel it. It’s not worth risking your life over a few bucks & your stats.
Agreed. I live in a super safe area so it's never really that scary here but if you live in a sketchy area screw your completion rate cause it's not worth it
@@owenlindstrom I wish new drivers understood that your acceptance rate will not get you deactivated, unlike your drop rate (which is actually important). I think that’s why so many trash orders are being accepted. They just don’t know any better. *You were talking about completion rate and it made me think about acceptance rate. Sorry about that.*
I only do deliveries in good neighborhoods I live in a not so good neighborhood hood but I refuse to deliver in my area due to no tips, crazy delivery notes and trying to get free food or refunds
Where I do it half of the areas are good but the other half go towards the city and I try to avoid them. They never tip, parking sucks, and it's just uncomfortable there
Uber makes a lot in revenue. Only if on their backend, they can keep a pattern of “not so well” areas and give drivers a higher fare to deliver to those areas. Nobody wants to deliver a $3 fast food that’s towards a shady downtown area, especially if it’s at least 10 miles
It’s dangerous if you’re walking I’d say. Here in Vancouver, Canada this delivery driver got stabbed a lot of times by a homeless junkie while delivering for Uber Eats last week.
some customers can be aggressive. I was confronted yesterday since customer suspected me of touching his food when I didn’t do anything. plastic bag probably got untied in the process but its good to check the presentation of it before delivering as well
You want to AVIOD low income areas as well as crime ridden areas which typically are the low income areas. Go to areas where the orders are more expensive and customers tend to tip more. You might need to run a week experiment dabbling in the diff zones to get a feel for which areas you want to focus on. Also don’t limit yourself to one app try diversifying the apps so you have more options to choose the better orders.
As somebody who drove tired one time, I can agree that it’s not worth the risk; I had to spend almost $600 to fix damage to my SUV and it was because I was tired.😞😭😭😭😭
While working for door dash do you work under your own LLC, I know in previous videos you said your a independent contractor and I’m starting to do jobs like door dash, so I’m just wondering if I’ll need to run it under and LLC
You don't have to run it as an LLC but I think technically you can have better tax advantages if you do it right but I (and almost everyone) are just sole proprieters. You DO HAVE TO pay taxes though. Uber doesn't do it for you. (Legally, this is not advise 😂)
I'm driving for ubereats and I'm only average around 12 bucks an hour please tell me how your making 20 + an hour, please make a viedo about that buddy
It solely depends on where you live and if you get good paying orders and orders in general, alongside how far you're traveling and how fast your orders are ready.
Okay. We know this is over 1 year old. Question is now... was he able to average $213 a day for the next 6 days. Also interesting how never a screen shot of the actual daily totals. Or the weekly totals. Prove it dude. Ever other gigtuber does.
