What I Learned Working 4 Years Delivering Food: Pros & Cons 

Find a W2 job you can tolerate and do the apps PT... Gets old driving behind these clowns all day that shouldn't have a license... If you have a W2 job you can be picky with what orders you accept

Advise I would give is know your market. Don't be loyal to one app. Multi apping is your friend especially durring the slow times. Don't be afraid to try different markets. You can find gems even in small markets. You would be surprised at how fast you can learn new markets.

I would say for most poeple make sure its not your primary job. Get a w2 or go to school at least your learning and building seniority within a company.

Don’t do delivery apps. 😊

Forget about 4 years, Pedro delivers food for life. 🤣😂

Hey Pedro, I think you should go back to the old ride along videos, that you used to do when you just start your RU-vid channel because those were entertaining to watch everynight.(step in my office.)😊

I enjoy chatting with other drivers. Many have different life experiences, and I find quite interesting. I get that we are all trying to make money. Giving pointers and driving tips to other drivers is not going to serve you. However, being secretive and isolated all day is not good. We have one particular driver in our town who keeps to himself. He is probably making money but looks miserable and tired. Keep a life/work balance. Interact on occasion. These are my pointers.

I would tell the new drivers nothing. There my competitors, not my friends. That's what I've learned the most these last 4 years. It's a cutthroat business. Keep shit to yourself if you want to succeed and get ahead. The less people know, the better off you are.

I really love Pedro's advice. The only thing I would add is that there are two different types of gig workers. There are the ones who maximize profits and the others who want to just make"enough" in 2017. This was approximately $100 a day. Decide which one of these people you are in your soul. If you can't figure this out, you will be tearing up your mind and emotions. If you carry both people in you DO NOT DO GIG WORK. But Pedro's tips are amazing. Four years is what it takes to understand the wear and tear on your car. Even if you have a brand new car be mindful.... you are going to be driving 20-30k miles a month now! Track your miles... Stay mindful!!

Good advice to follow for gig driving. What works best for me is to do this type of work as a side hustle. I look for orders with the least mileage and refuse most orders under $5. I pick orders that make the most sense for earnings. My time is valuable and don’t want to waste it with no tipping long mileage orders.

I just like the freedom and schedule on the app.

Use a vehicle thats good on fuel is one thing I would tell them....

Pure facts !!! The customers do not care about Us 💯💯

👍 The car maintenance is true. I would tell them to also try one app at a time until you learn it. After you learn the basics, then multi app.

He's right people don't care. No one tips.

if your gonna do this and your market is good make as much hours as you can

Excellent advice, although now I feel even worse about the fact that I’m delivering McNuggets instead of saving the world 😂

Good advice

What a downer 😂

You making this video while driving and looking at the camera is not safe so stop preaching safety lol

10th bot..... "some generic comment"🎉😮

First hater

Car wear and tear is what it is. Your car is in good condition or it ain't

If you're stressed about money and decide to doordash and you're not getting orders, yes definitely go home and try something else because sitting in your car will just mess with your mind even more. It's not good.

I tell people not to take orders that pay you to go home unless they are profitable because you teach the apps how to treat you. Taking "anything" just because it's paying your drive home is just telling the algorithm that you accept that garbage and it will keep on sending those kinds of offers.

My take is to learn and know your market! That's how you're going to be successful. I've been doing Uber eats and doordash since 2017.

I love my Chic Fil A I walk in n it's ready or they say what's the name n they put it together my Champs

When I did door dash, I mainly picked orders that took me to parts of the city I didn't just go to, of course I wanted to get paid decently, but I stopped due to the lack of ability to drive for more than a half hour at a time, I won't deliver a 2 dollar McDonald's order going 3 miles

I schedule a many times and I’m not getting no older

Facts..💯💯

A few videos ago I mentioned that I was in the independent film business. Ive had a hand in making horror movies. When it comes to delivering food, I can really think up some weird shit for a script that I've seen doing this kind of work. I've seen a guy attack employees walking into work at a restaurant and also a guy attacking customers in a restaurant. I have personally been shot at because the delivery was a setup for a robbery. If I'm honest with myself, I've probably been set up multiple times when people use a "TEXTNOW" phone number. I've blacklisted an entire region for that reason. Back to the film making aspect. I did an order last night for an Actress whom I've worked with on a film set. I remember her house, even though it's been so many years since I've been there. I remember getting off the set and going to a bar with her, getting drunk as hell and giving her an extra long hug. This girl visited me in the hospital when I caught Legioneers Disease. This delivery really stuck out to me. The house looked abandoned. Damn are the memories of this actress coming back. I remember her getting me involved in a seance at some rich guy's high rise condo, I mean the Fucking News Was There. I remember the news reporter Danielle Serino shaking her head thinking "What The Fuck Am I Here For?" I didn't see any ghosts, but I felt like I could read the news reporters mind. The food order was for this actress's mother. I remember her name, I called multiple times, nothing. The delivery instructions were very weird, I want through my procedure and left the food there. I hope she got it. That house looked for sure abandoned. Thank You for putting that advice out. I am one of those late-night drivers. I know where to go now after doing this for years. I still do deliveries downtown, if I know the area. I don't like the alcohol deliveries all the time. If it's a hotel downtown or some trucker in Richfield, OH and it's paying a lot, I'll do it. I just cover my bases.

Love this video boss it’s so exciting what gig apps use to be . I remember being so new not knowing anything now imma expert and I rarely turn the apps on my advice is to make sure you know what good orders to accept are . Never do orders if you would spend more on gas just getting there . Make sure to put money aside from each order for your gas , car maintenance. Try to Uber in a car that’s a beater this will wear and tear your car ( can’t tell you how many nails my car has got doing this ) . Always carry water with you . Be extra careful in shady neighborhoods. NEVER EVER LEAVE YOUR CAR RUNNING UNATTENDED IT WILL GET STOLEN . Be extra friendly to customers message them “ have a great day enjoy the meal “ it will sometimes increase a tip . Don’t spill anything ( will lower tip been there done that ) . To see a lot of money you need to put in alot of hours . I put 10 hours in and made 220 in Vegas area

You are delivering Bob Evans let The Listener know that Bob Evans charges a third-party fee so they make money off of your work look at some of the fees that Bob Evans charges to get their food delivered to their customer these customers are tipping us less than Bob Evans is charging as a third-party fee tell the customer that I don't pick up Bob Evans orders because I am not going to let Bob Evans make money off of my labor

Nobody tips because nobody feels the need to pay your salary.

I remember back in 2018 i would dash on my lunch and after work and make a easy 100$ now its impossible to even make 50 ubless i suck ny pride in and get those 4$ 5 mile orders

If we aren’t employees why do I haft to report my income for unemployment?

Id tell them rule #1: No tip... No trip! 😄

I am new here Hi !

U learned not to bite the hand that feeds you

First, while delivering DoorDash

Doing gods work for this video. Thanks

This whole gig economy thing looks like a very bad idea. If you ever took a business class or economics class, you would know what overhead is (operating costs and profit margins), and this line of work keeps you below the 25% overhead. I see peeps excited on making 1200 a week working 80 hours. Bruh... yanno, you could get a 9 to 5 and go to school part time and still go and deliver $6 cheeseburgers for 10 hours...?

4:00 that's the most honest statement.

Hola Pedro

I read the comments for all the trolls n haters You high school boys crack me up. Pedro,these bois have a secret crush on you. Why else would they watch your vids that they complain about?

It’s a waste of time when you could be getting certifications and make a ton of money.

this is the best advice to gig drivers 100%

🐐🐐

Don’t compare yourself to others and if you see other drivers don’t compare your days to theirs. All in all the apps are just forcing us to compete with each other and desperateness forces us into some really terrible orders to make that “bag” but really they’re just shiing on us. That’s my advice big P

I would tell new drivers the wrong way to do things. WHY? Other drivers are your competitors. Similar to Walmart and Target are competitors. You're not going to see those two companies giving each other advice. The same theory applies to drivers. They are your competitor and you shouldn't be giving your competitor advice. Unless it's bad advice that will hurt them. You want other drivers to be as dumb as a box of rocks for as long as possible. Let them learn on their own.

I always give misinformation to other appers I see … I want them to fail and quit

sup :)

6 years vet…I would say HEALTH 1ST! Prioritize your wellness and sanity by respecting yourself and commanding respect from others. Never let any company customer or business disrespect you. Wealth 2nd Place as much or as little of your earnings in savings accounts/investment accounts as you can…just put something in there. 3rd be customer driven. Keep your mind on being a pleasant experience to the customer. Not saying kiss anyone’s 🫏 but just be pleasant. Don't let the money or really the lack of money drive you crazy...PACE YOURSELF!

I would say fuk all of the advice and follow your intuition. ❤ (not your advice) I’m just big on following what your life guides you towards and trust yourself more than what people tell you. 🙈🫣
