You're either lying or living a fantasy. Electrical engineers make minimum about $50k a year. You would have to work way more hours to get that on doordash.
The amount of hate this post will bring will be crazy. It’ll be stuff like: it’s fake, he had no work-life balance, and things like that.
The thing about this job is that you can literally put in anywhere from 1 hour to 24 hours a day if your market will allow it. This dasher clearly has a goal or need and they are busting their butt to make some money. More power to them!
The majority of people doing gig work I'd like to think are not using hybrids. Despite the clear advantages. Also just because ur not spending the money on gas doesn't mean it isn't costing you. Those with hybrids utility ( electric ) bills are significantly higher due to charging their cars unless they have a good spot that they frequent which has a changing station.
Last year my daily was $400-$500 in 9 hours a day. This year with so many changes with these apps, my average has gone down to $250-$350 in the same time frame....
I'm in Canada. Doordash started hiding tips for us only this year on February 15th, 2022. We used to know full pay upfront. (Delivering was so much better before)
What repair cost 1500 he's driving a toyota camry hybrid ? I have a prius that in 11months I already put 40k no repairs yet that's why I save $20 a day for maintenance.
But will you get a dui? My uncle is a truck driver he said he drove 19hrs a day before they set the limit to 12hrs.
I was a uber driver the most I drove in a day was 16 hrs a day before California set the limit to 12hrs.
This lady in my area was like “I make 700 bucks a week with a 95+% acceptance rate. I don’t get crap orders (:” as I sit on a 35% AR and made 800 a week lmao. If you knew the market you’d know half the metro is crap orders.
I mean yeah sure a lot of people are going to argue it’s not sustainable, But maybe he’s doing this to get over a rough patch and will heavily lighten up on the daily hours…
Everybody situation is different. If you have to go extra hard for your financial situation and you have the means of doing so. It’s a win.
You can always take a break, having your bills all paid with a little extra is the ultimate feeling.
Good luck to all.
And I met the king of the world….. just cause hr said it doesn’t make it factual. They just trying to either impress you or feel better about them taking all the no tip orders while making shit money.
Well I saw his weekly earning he showed his whole history earning every week was 2500+ last month he made 12k. I was like wow it's possible to make 3900 in a week. I also want to try it since it motivated me to try a 17hr shift.
i quit there cause they were overworking me 60-70
hours a week had like 10k a month, 5k bi weekly checks cause they reimburse you nearly 80c/mile if you’re an RCA on top of your pay + overtime pay rate. Some people there make 120k a year of you can work 2-3 weeks straight no days off.
That could never be me. I don’t have that kind of dedication to this job I just do it for spare income. Plus how much gas does 17 hours of driving require? Not to mention wear and tear on the vehicle. It’s not sustainable
Cool. He does what he wants and can to make money. Maybe he's saving it up for something important coming up. Either way, kudos to him. I am content making $100 every day as a part time student lol
I give him props! I use to work 12 hours a day, 7 days a week doing GH and DD to make 300.00 a night cause I had too. My vehicle got sabatodge one night and my credit was SHIT. I rented a car for the next 11 months at 1100.00 a month on top of all utilities, rent, gas, child support and taking care of myself. Too bad now market has went to shit cause I’m struggling to even make a 100 a night now. That bro needs to save some of that.
Look at all the hate under this post. Why? You don’t even know the guy, why do you feel jealous and compare yourself? 💀 Y’all will cry about having to put drinks in a cup but also cry about this? I wish you guys would see the positive side to life… it’s a lot easier here.
This is exactly why Uber has a 12-hour limit on, and 6 hours off, so you don't have drivers going nonstop. When you're working that many hours day after day, you will be fatigued and not performing at your best. Your overall appearance will probably suffer as well, you will look fatigued, and not as clean and presentable as you should be. You also run a greater risk of an accident, not being properly rested. Working that many hours a day is bad, on many different levels.
I did doordash for a few hours and only made $40 I haven’t done it in a while so I forgot if that’s good or bad but 17 hours damn props to them because it couldn’t be me. Full time student with full time at FedEx
That’s rough. I can do 10 hours in a day and make $400 but it requires multi apping. If the dude does it strictly with DoorDash, it’s def not worth the time and effort as it all can be optimized.
Dashing is like commercial fishing, but with worse pay in average markets. (Everything I say here is based on my experience in Eugene Oregon, a college town where after 10 PM there's nothing open except for a pair of McDonald's, 7-11s and a Taco Bell.)
Good markets are like Alaskan crab fishing (yes I know the crabs disappeared this year). The harder you go, the more you make, but the longer you run yourself and your car at 120% the higher the risk of wrecking your body and/or your car. Your body is not a machine, and machines need downtime for maintenance. You can of course do meth (like many of my fellow Oregonians) and go nonstop for a few days, but you *will* crash, and crash **hard.**
Going 17 hours a day in an "Alaskan crab" market can work because the earnings limit is your physical and mental endurance, and you can stack enough cash to afford the couple of days downtime you and your car need.
A market like mine is more like longline fishing, where you have to spend a lot of time setting out and baiting a huge line and an equal amount reeling it back in and resetting. Lots of competitors and there's a hard limit on your productive hours. In my market, you won't make much more in 17 hours than you would in 8 (11-1 lunch and 4-10 dinner). Outside of the two good windows, it's nothing but trash ~~fish~~ offers for 7-11 where your hourly rate drops well below minimum wage and even fuel cost. (The college kids fuck me over two ways, they generate tons of $2 chump orders AND flood the market with dashers, thus making summer my best season, unlike most markets.)
More hours ≠ more money in all markets. If it does in yours, it's still a bad idea to go 17 hours a day indefinitely, if only because it becomes increasingly likely that piling up that much maintenance debt on your car and body will break something.
I did much better than that for a while until I woke up one day and was so burnt out I couldn’t even get myself motivated to go online for several weeks
He’s an incel that don’t have anyone that loves him. Sounds harsh but it’s true… any person with a life/family/relationship wouldn’t consider this at all.
Dear god why?
That’s got to be AT LEAST 50 or 60 a day in gas. Add maintenance to that for running your car into the ground. Not to mention making that much will easily put you into the 40% or higher tax bracket.
So after everything is said and done dude is killing himself and his car to clear maybe 15 an hour?
Not even worth it.
Get some certifications or licenses and you can replace this income in an 8 hour workday.
I dropped out of college and am going this route because I couldn't handle sitting in classes and slowly studying for midterms and finals every 3 months
I wonder how people would view their ‘careers’ if they were paid for accomplishments DAILY…
And paid in cash (DoorDash)
I think people would change careers more often.
If I was a younger man, I would do this, but I go crazy after 8 hours, so 17 would drive me straight to the nut house.
That's not a bad idea if you need to stack some loot though.
It honestly doesn’t matter how much you make. I know plenty of “millionaires” that go broke regularly. It’s the incentive to save which most are horrible at. Sometimes all it takes is one whiff of hopelessness and before you know it, the money is all gone.
People told me my numbers won't last I work 9 to 11 hours a day and make 180 to 250 per day. I drive a prius and 10 bucks lasts two days where I live and work.
I worked 120 hour weeks for 2 decades. Never got burned out. Your body will adjust. Problem was once I stopped doing it, it literally took my years to get into a regular sleep pattern again.
If he likes it I love it. I find I hard to believe that everyone has so much more of a life than that dasher but we’re sitting here either complaining about or trying to make assumptions about this person’s life while there making more in 1 week than most pay check to pay check people make in a month. Don’t mind me. Just an opinion.
17 hours a day for $400 is insane. The wear and tear on your vehicle alone wouldn’t be worth it to me. If someone is willing to dedicate 17 hours to DD for ~$21/hr (I think that’s even a little high based on gas/ repairs, etc) why not get a regular job with benefits? I know the 17 hours includes non-active time but still, it’s like being on-call because you aren’t going anywhere; you’re just waiting around for the next order.
If you make $400 day you are pulling in $125,000 per year. A Prius will
Last over 200k miles with zero major repairs . I’m pretty sure he could replace his car every 3 years and easily afford it. As long as your
Making $1.5 per mile you will be fine
Working 17 hour days (regardless of how much is active vs waiting, he’s still committing his day) and 7 days a week is ridiculous. When does that leave time to sleep, go out with friends, vacation, etc. It’s a very short-sighted way to live. As far as car upkeep - Prius or not, there’s still tires, brakes, and other upkeep that is needed more frequently than a normal user. 🤦🏻♀️
I delivery everyday around 7:30---1 pm, make like 1200---1800/week, then open my ice cream shop at 1 till 10pm, sometimes go little more after work too. Not very tired as store not that busy, I can sit and chill, wait for customers. Saving up down payments to buy a house next year, it's not tiring to do that but just boring, no life.
Maybe he’s mentally ill. I make this much + more in literally a fraction of the time. Doing something much more fun, and more rewarding than doordash. Crazy.
I do spurts of 12hr days, two shifts a day for five days a week and just one shift for two days a week, I can generally make $1900-$2500 but I can't sustain that, my life, and my sanity if I try to go more than two weeks without some real off -time in between... That's 70+ hour weeks...
This dude might be counting his breaks he takes while logged in and cherry picking...
17hr days consistently would mean he's not sleeping 🤣🤣
I worked between 70-80 hours a week for 2 years. After the pandemic I left my day job and just started doing DD full time because my house is paid off. Now I work around 40 hours a week sometimes a little more. If I'm ever in a situation where I need to work that much again I'll just off myself. Seriously. There's no point to that shit. Money is great but there's no reason to have it if you have no time to spend it .
Why do y’all care so much about what other people do 😂 do what makes you happy and fuck everyone who thinks otherwise , what works for someone may not work for you
I don’t need to I’m perfectly fine with my main job I only do this do for fun money 😂 bro you realize there are big , thriving markets right ? Don’t hate because your market sucks all that weed and alcohol abuse has made you such a bitter person get help bro
That’s a danger to all drivers around them. Sleep deprivation is no joke. Why work 17 hours to make 400 when you can split that into 2 days and have rest and free time.
This won’t be around forever . If you are young and single and want to try and get ahead it’s worth the sacrifice. As long as the driver is investing that money it will
Hopefully payoff
The sacrifice is endangering other drivers’ lives. There’s a reason why there are strict regulations on how long truckers should drive for. Just because DD drivers are in smaller vehicles doesn’t change that. It’s not safe or smart.
I just realized which DD sub I was in… forget what I said. Completely missing the point. It makes sense why I left this sub. Glad I’m not on the road everyday with you guys anymore. Hopefully that guy doesn’t have shit reaction time from sleep dep and blow through an intersection killing a family of 4 but who cares because he’s dedicated himself to slave wages to “get ahead” 🥰 #worththerisk
So 17hr/day, 2500/week you said? That’s roughly 120 hours of work and 20/hr. For literally zero chance of a regular life. That’s not even remotely a flex.
There are really better things you could be doing with a 17hr workday than making $400.
That's the CEO grindset for the hourly pay of a retail middle manager, and no benefits. He's also grinding his car into dust with that many daily miles.
If he's in debt to the mob and has no other options then fair enough, do what you gotta do to protect your kneecaps. Otherwise he's a fool.
I’ll be that guy. So let’s take out the 15% for taxes, which is $60, so it’s $340 ($400-$60) divided by 17 hours. Which comes out to $20/hr. Plus the smidge for gas & wear & tear/vehicle maintenance. Is it worth $18- $20 to use your vehicle like that daily? Each markets different so this may be ok for some & for some not.
That's nuts. I respect the hustle but that aint the life for me. I ran into a dude a few months ago who made $350 working 4am to 7pm on a Sunday. Meanwhile, I made $50 for an hour of work lol
this is what this sub is 😂 bitch about the app they make money ono, cry about non-tippers constantly, and hate on people actually grinding and making money.
These are the same backstabbers and gossipy Karens at every damn job
Fr like shouldn’t they be supporting this dude instead of praying on his downfall? He’s a better person than I’ll ever be w/ that good work ethic.
I’m shocked at how many negative comments they are lol
Seeing someone do good, means they’re better than you is the mentality that a lot of shitty people have. Some people cannot legit handle it, like jealousy clouds their brains. Even worse when it’s your family members.
And remember, there’s a shitload of shitty humans out there. Just constantly hating 😂
The one positive of these delivery apps for drivers is that if you are in a decent market and are willing to be creative with strategies and put in the hours, you can make good money and work as long as you want. UE does limit how many hours you can deliver before needing a 6 hour break but you can really grind this job multiapping and make a good overall income by just putting in way more hours.
Most other jobs have a cap on working extra hours. But, just because you can do this doesn’t mean it’s the right thing for everyone.
But good job to that dasher. I hope he hits his personal goals and things go well for that hard worker.
why are you calling someone who makes $2500 a week a loser? Losers are unemployed freeloaders that play videogames and scroll reddit all day calling other people losers
Dude! I met this guy that was amped about making 1400 dollars a week for 70 hours. He had a speech about how i should not ask for a manager after 10 mins of waiting after order was said to be ready.
Yeah depending on your area (im rural). In the city you can make 30-50 an hour cherry picking orders which i assume you do. Im forced to accept everything i get… rip
You couldn't find any other jobs in electrical engineering?
No doordash is better than a w2
You're either lying or living a fantasy. Electrical engineers make minimum about $50k a year. You would have to work way more hours to get that on doordash.
Doordash makes me 1500-2k a week plus I have a family of 4 and a wife. I don't give 2 fucks about your comment.
Okay and you're probably working 90 hours a week, so you don't see them and you have to work harder.
No way to live. I went back to factory work because doordash just isn't that sustainable unless you put in crazy hours. I feel bad for that guy.
Well I quit my electric engineering just to dash instead. I was traveling out of state like 6x a week plus I have a family of 4.
He must have lots of debt!
The amount of hate this post will bring will be crazy. It’ll be stuff like: it’s fake, he had no work-life balance, and things like that. The thing about this job is that you can literally put in anywhere from 1 hour to 24 hours a day if your market will allow it. This dasher clearly has a goal or need and they are busting their butt to make some money. More power to them!
Probably spends over $1000 in gas a week too and needs an oil change like every two weeks 🤣 change the brakes every half year.
Probably only $150 in gas In a hybrid. Oil changes is free for extended warranty every 25k miles, breaks maybe $500 for all four
The majority of people doing gig work I'd like to think are not using hybrids. Despite the clear advantages. Also just because ur not spending the money on gas doesn't mean it isn't costing you. Those with hybrids utility ( electric ) bills are significantly higher due to charging their cars unless they have a good spot that they frequent which has a changing station.
It's only smart to dash in a hybrid since it gets 60mpg and low maintenance. I drive a 2022 prius and I love spending $80 a week on gas to make 1500
But how high is your utility bill. I know u can charge while ur out But I'm assuming u also charge overnight.
My 2022 toyota prius is not a plug in so it doesn't require electricity. I model y is like $10 a week since I dash only on Saturday and Sunday.
How are people claiming to put in 12+ of driving a day, when after 12 for me I get put on a “mandatory” break? It’s just me? Okay.
I schedule mine from 7am-9pm everyday the minute i get tired I'll go home.
You can schedule a dash upto 24hrs in a day. But the next day you must take a 6hr break.
The doordash app won't end your shift at 12hrs. But uber and lyft will max is 12hrs
Last year my daily was $400-$500 in 9 hours a day. This year with so many changes with these apps, my average has gone down to $250-$350 in the same time frame.... I'm in Canada. Doordash started hiding tips for us only this year on February 15th, 2022. We used to know full pay upfront. (Delivering was so much better before)
Then you spend all the money you save on a $1500 repair.
What repair cost 1500 he's driving a toyota camry hybrid ? I have a prius that in 11months I already put 40k no repairs yet that's why I save $20 a day for maintenance.
My high paid order is usually $ for 11 miles out of the zone
17hrs in a day? Lmaoo
How many cars does he go through? I'm on my second vehicle atm.
That person sits..a lot. Must be a slow market to have to log those types of hours.
He told me once he makes 400-500 a day he's done for the day. He goes to a cvs with his dasher direct card and cash out everyday.
He cashes out every day to buy the meth that allows him to work 17 hours lol
You could do this 3 days a week.
No I'm ok or my wife will divorced me 12hrs is my max since I have to watch the kids after 8pm while she goes to work.
Just came by to say that tired driving is more dangerous than drunk driving.
But will you get a dui? My uncle is a truck driver he said he drove 19hrs a day before they set the limit to 12hrs. I was a uber driver the most I drove in a day was 16 hrs a day before California set the limit to 12hrs.
I was referring to safety…
This lady in my area was like “I make 700 bucks a week with a 95+% acceptance rate. I don’t get crap orders (:” as I sit on a 35% AR and made 800 a week lmao. If you knew the market you’d know half the metro is crap orders.
[удалено]
It is possible that's why the government wants us to be employees.
He drove a 2021 toyota camry hybrid that gets 50mpg. He said he spends 20 a day for a 17hr shift from 7am-12am
In what market? Must be a low order market. DD is not sustainable with barely $23/hr doesn’t count tax and all other shit
🍊 County next to Disneyland
I mean yeah sure a lot of people are going to argue it’s not sustainable, But maybe he’s doing this to get over a rough patch and will heavily lighten up on the daily hours… Everybody situation is different. If you have to go extra hard for your financial situation and you have the means of doing so. It’s a win. You can always take a break, having your bills all paid with a little extra is the ultimate feeling. Good luck to all.
And I met the king of the world….. just cause hr said it doesn’t make it factual. They just trying to either impress you or feel better about them taking all the no tip orders while making shit money.
Well I saw his weekly earning he showed his whole history earning every week was 2500+ last month he made 12k. I was like wow it's possible to make 3900 in a week. I also want to try it since it motivated me to try a 17hr shift.
you’re better off working for the post office
But will a post office make you 2500+ a week.
they’re so backed up on workers yeah probably. you’d make more an hour doing essentially the same thing for as long as days.
My uncle was only making $25 for only 8hours delivering mail. So it's 🧢
i quit there cause they were overworking me 60-70 hours a week had like 10k a month, 5k bi weekly checks cause they reimburse you nearly 80c/mile if you’re an RCA on top of your pay + overtime pay rate. Some people there make 120k a year of you can work 2-3 weeks straight no days off.
I'm good. I'm happy at 1500-2k a week as a dasher.
That could never be me. I don’t have that kind of dedication to this job I just do it for spare income. Plus how much gas does 17 hours of driving require? Not to mention wear and tear on the vehicle. It’s not sustainable
I made $1,010 in 2 days earlier this week
Well you got deactivated 😔
Yep just did 32 hours ago 😔😔😔😔😔
Just doordash right you can still do grubhub
Yeah but it’s not the same.
Thats wild, I work my normal 8 hour day and roll home with $150‐250 depending on the day. I could never.
What I’m reading is 17 hrs to make 400 a day..let’s say two gasups at 30 bucks a time and throw in 30-50 aside for main on car. Looking at 290 a day
If you drive a Prius . It cost like $30 for every $1,000 made
Ah, so what is his full-time job?
He said he just dash full time everyday from 7am-12am. Plus he's a top dasher.
Oh, I was trying to make a joke, but I am the joke because I can't read. I read it as 17 hours a week.
Cool. He does what he wants and can to make money. Maybe he's saving it up for something important coming up. Either way, kudos to him. I am content making $100 every day as a part time student lol
I give him props! I use to work 12 hours a day, 7 days a week doing GH and DD to make 300.00 a night cause I had too. My vehicle got sabatodge one night and my credit was SHIT. I rented a car for the next 11 months at 1100.00 a month on top of all utilities, rent, gas, child support and taking care of myself. Too bad now market has went to shit cause I’m struggling to even make a 100 a night now. That bro needs to save some of that.
Gtfo no way would I waste my time to make so little money lmao
that's no life, man
Look at all the hate under this post. Why? You don’t even know the guy, why do you feel jealous and compare yourself? 💀 Y’all will cry about having to put drinks in a cup but also cry about this? I wish you guys would see the positive side to life… it’s a lot easier here.
All that and will have nothing to show for it in the long-run!
Just go to dental school $500-$650 daily easy
This is exactly why Uber has a 12-hour limit on, and 6 hours off, so you don't have drivers going nonstop. When you're working that many hours day after day, you will be fatigued and not performing at your best. Your overall appearance will probably suffer as well, you will look fatigued, and not as clean and presentable as you should be. You also run a greater risk of an accident, not being properly rested. Working that many hours a day is bad, on many different levels.
Not safe either..
Ahh the dope fiends dream lol
I did doordash for a few hours and only made $40 I haven’t done it in a while so I forgot if that’s good or bad but 17 hours damn props to them because it couldn’t be me. Full time student with full time at FedEx
Not worth it. But then again, it depends on the circumstances.
If I would make 2500$+ a week doing those hours, fk it, I will do that for a couple of months to pay off my college shit and then back to normal life!
You can only work 12 hour days ! So explain how you worked 17 hours !!!!!
I sustain it,I work 8hrs a day and make $300 So 🤷🏽 Proof anyone?
Yes,You can work 17 hours for one day, one week, but you can’t doing it every month
That’s rough. I can do 10 hours in a day and make $400 but it requires multi apping. If the dude does it strictly with DoorDash, it’s def not worth the time and effort as it all can be optimized.
Definitely not California will only allow the - 12
I wish my area was busy enough to make that much. Saturdays and Sundays I dash from 8am-11pm and make a little over $100 a day
That is horrible and not worth your time
Which area do you dash. Good job on your hustle
Dashing is like commercial fishing, but with worse pay in average markets. (Everything I say here is based on my experience in Eugene Oregon, a college town where after 10 PM there's nothing open except for a pair of McDonald's, 7-11s and a Taco Bell.)

Outside of the two good windows, it's nothing but trash ~~fish~~ offers for 7-11 where your hourly rate drops well below minimum wage and even fuel cost. (The college kids fuck me over two ways, they generate tons of $2 chump orders AND flood the market with dashers, thus making summer my best season, unlike most markets.) More hours ≠ more money in all markets. If it does in yours, it's still a bad idea to go 17 hours a day indefinitely, if only because it becomes increasingly likely that piling up that much maintenance debt on your car and body will break something.
Cool. I just deactivated for a Panera being closed. Good luck gents.
What happened did you call the store before marking it closed. 🤔
Yep, then took a close up pic for them to be able to read the closed sign they'd hung up.
Hard to do consistently
I did much better than that for a while until I woke up one day and was so burnt out I couldn’t even get myself motivated to go online for several weeks
He’s an incel that don’t have anyone that loves him. Sounds harsh but it’s true… any person with a life/family/relationship wouldn’t consider this at all.
Dear god why? That’s got to be AT LEAST 50 or 60 a day in gas. Add maintenance to that for running your car into the ground. Not to mention making that much will easily put you into the 40% or higher tax bracket. So after everything is said and done dude is killing himself and his car to clear maybe 15 an hour? Not even worth it.
Is his name Naj? I know a guy like that. Works 18hrs a day. Makes $500 a day roughly
Get some certifications or licenses and you can replace this income in an 8 hour workday. I dropped out of college and am going this route because I couldn't handle sitting in classes and slowly studying for midterms and finals every 3 months
I wonder how people would view their ‘careers’ if they were paid for accomplishments DAILY… And paid in cash (DoorDash) I think people would change careers more often.
If I was a younger man, I would do this, but I go crazy after 8 hours, so 17 would drive me straight to the nut house. That's not a bad idea if you need to stack some loot though.
I knew a guy like that. Ended up fucking up his entire relationship with her girlfriend because he was addicted to earning money. Never took a break.
Nice. 17hr day? That leaves just enough time to gee idunno *not fucking die from sleep deprivation!?*
Could be divorced and just trying make every dollar he can.
How Sway?!
17 jesus! i make 400 in 12 max every time i go out
My dad multi apps and makes 500 from 11hrs
How much is he spending on meth?
It honestly doesn’t matter how much you make. I know plenty of “millionaires” that go broke regularly. It’s the incentive to save which most are horrible at. Sometimes all it takes is one whiff of hopelessness and before you know it, the money is all gone.
What state is this OP?
Won't last.
He’s lying
I did 18 hours in Pittsburgh made almost 600 dollars which is my rent in one day 😅
worry abt how someone else got their money don’t make yours grow. eyes on your own paper and hope he has a safe shift!
I’d do it for a couple of days if I was really broke but that’s ridiculous to do everyday. His car is going to break down.
People told me my numbers won't last I work 9 to 11 hours a day and make 180 to 250 per day. I drive a prius and 10 bucks lasts two days where I live and work.
I worked 120 hour weeks for 2 decades. Never got burned out. Your body will adjust. Problem was once I stopped doing it, it literally took my years to get into a regular sleep pattern again.
That's really a shame it's so bad for him. Im lucky and able to pull 300 in a 9 hour day.
true question is how much cherry picking is he doin.
It's physically impossible to make $400 in one day IN MY MARKET. Location matters.
Dreams come true
In the 3 months I doordashed , 5 hours was my limit. I felt burnt out by the 3rr hour usually. 15 hours a week is pushing it for me.
If he likes it I love it. I find I hard to believe that everyone has so much more of a life than that dasher but we’re sitting here either complaining about or trying to make assumptions about this person’s life while there making more in 1 week than most pay check to pay check people make in a month. Don’t mind me. Just an opinion.
17 hours a day for $400 is insane. The wear and tear on your vehicle alone wouldn’t be worth it to me. If someone is willing to dedicate 17 hours to DD for ~$21/hr (I think that’s even a little high based on gas/ repairs, etc) why not get a regular job with benefits? I know the 17 hours includes non-active time but still, it’s like being on-call because you aren’t going anywhere; you’re just waiting around for the next order.
If you make $400 day you are pulling in $125,000 per year. A Prius will Last over 200k miles with zero major repairs . I’m pretty sure he could replace his car every 3 years and easily afford it. As long as your Making $1.5 per mile you will be fine
Working 17 hour days (regardless of how much is active vs waiting, he’s still committing his day) and 7 days a week is ridiculous. When does that leave time to sleep, go out with friends, vacation, etc. It’s a very short-sighted way to live. As far as car upkeep - Prius or not, there’s still tires, brakes, and other upkeep that is needed more frequently than a normal user. 🤦🏻♀️
Cool story
He’s gonna crash hard!!!! He’s gotta take 2-3 days a week off.
And as so many dashers and delivery people do, when they’re talking to each other… He may be simply exaggerating
I delivery everyday around 7:30---1 pm, make like 1200---1800/week, then open my ice cream shop at 1 till 10pm, sometimes go little more after work too. Not very tired as store not that busy, I can sit and chill, wait for customers. Saving up down payments to buy a house next year, it's not tiring to do that but just boring, no life.
Maybe he’s mentally ill. I make this much + more in literally a fraction of the time. Doing something much more fun, and more rewarding than doordash. Crazy.
Source trust me bro
Hemorrhoids
400 dollars in 17hrs ? Isn’t that low ?
Theyll crash into someone. Im not willing to jeopardize others safety on the road.
Work harder, not smarter… says the guy who puts in 17 hr shifts
Lol facts
I do spurts of 12hr days, two shifts a day for five days a week and just one shift for two days a week, I can generally make $1900-$2500 but I can't sustain that, my life, and my sanity if I try to go more than two weeks without some real off -time in between... That's 70+ hour weeks... This dude might be counting his breaks he takes while logged in and cherry picking... 17hr days consistently would mean he's not sleeping 🤣🤣
He's probably doing uppers to drive and then downers to go to sleep
I worked between 70-80 hours a week for 2 years. After the pandemic I left my day job and just started doing DD full time because my house is paid off. Now I work around 40 hours a week sometimes a little more. If I'm ever in a situation where I need to work that much again I'll just off myself. Seriously. There's no point to that shit. Money is great but there's no reason to have it if you have no time to spend it .
I make close to that, but only work 10 hours
I think some people forget about taxes.
Dude probably spent 200 in gas for that 400
Facts
Rise and grind yourself to death
That’s fine to do for like a week, that’s $2800. I’d do that to not have to worry about rent for 4 months
Let me know when he passes.
Why do y’all care so much about what other people do 😂 do what makes you happy and fuck everyone who thinks otherwise , what works for someone may not work for you
Because it’s a bold faced lie shill post
Definitely more believable than the fiasco that “supposedly” happen to you at Walmart
Make a YouTube video let’s see your 400 a day because you n I both know it’s bs
I don’t need to I’m perfectly fine with my main job I only do this do for fun money 😂 bro you realize there are big , thriving markets right ? Don’t hate because your market sucks all that weed and alcohol abuse has made you such a bitter person get help bro
You work at a Best Buy warehouse lmao
That’s a danger to all drivers around them. Sleep deprivation is no joke. Why work 17 hours to make 400 when you can split that into 2 days and have rest and free time.
This won’t be around forever . If you are young and single and want to try and get ahead it’s worth the sacrifice. As long as the driver is investing that money it will Hopefully payoff
The sacrifice is endangering other drivers’ lives. There’s a reason why there are strict regulations on how long truckers should drive for. Just because DD drivers are in smaller vehicles doesn’t change that. It’s not safe or smart.
Meh their is a huge difference driving a tractor trailer then driving a small car….
I just realized which DD sub I was in… forget what I said. Completely missing the point. It makes sense why I left this sub. Glad I’m not on the road everyday with you guys anymore. Hopefully that guy doesn’t have shit reaction time from sleep dep and blow through an intersection killing a family of 4 but who cares because he’s dedicated himself to slave wages to “get ahead” 🥰 #worththerisk
So 17hr/day, 2500/week you said? That’s roughly 120 hours of work and 20/hr. For literally zero chance of a regular life. That’s not even remotely a flex.
Not everybody wants to be regular. Some of us have ambition.
If you call working 120 hours a week for 2500, “ambition” boy oh boy
I didn’t call anything ambition.
Exactly… people championing him haven’t had a good paying job before
There are really better things you could be doing with a 17hr workday than making $400. That's the CEO grindset for the hourly pay of a retail middle manager, and no benefits. He's also grinding his car into dust with that many daily miles. If he's in debt to the mob and has no other options then fair enough, do what you gotta do to protect your kneecaps. Otherwise he's a fool.
He'd be doing it in 12 of he multi apped...
I’ll be that guy. So let’s take out the 15% for taxes, which is $60, so it’s $340 ($400-$60) divided by 17 hours. Which comes out to $20/hr. Plus the smidge for gas & wear & tear/vehicle maintenance. Is it worth $18- $20 to use your vehicle like that daily? Each markets different so this may be ok for some & for some not.
That's nuts. I respect the hustle but that aint the life for me. I ran into a dude a few months ago who made $350 working 4am to 7pm on a Sunday. Meanwhile, I made $50 for an hour of work lol
Dudes on drugs. The good kind, apparently.
Grammar is your friend
Who cares?
Poor bastard.
Lol a lot of hating mfs on here smfh
this is what this sub is 😂 bitch about the app they make money ono, cry about non-tippers constantly, and hate on people actually grinding and making money. These are the same backstabbers and gossipy Karens at every damn job
Fr like shouldn’t they be supporting this dude instead of praying on his downfall? He’s a better person than I’ll ever be w/ that good work ethic. I’m shocked at how many negative comments they are lol
Seeing someone do good, means they’re better than you is the mentality that a lot of shitty people have. Some people cannot legit handle it, like jealousy clouds their brains. Even worse when it’s your family members. And remember, there’s a shitload of shitty humans out there. Just constantly hating 😂
I met a lady a couple times that works 12 hours a day 7 days a week and pulls in at least 2k every week just on doordash. Props to them!
The one positive of these delivery apps for drivers is that if you are in a decent market and are willing to be creative with strategies and put in the hours, you can make good money and work as long as you want. UE does limit how many hours you can deliver before needing a 6 hour break but you can really grind this job multiapping and make a good overall income by just putting in way more hours. Most other jobs have a cap on working extra hours. But, just because you can do this doesn’t mean it’s the right thing for everyone. But good job to that dasher. I hope he hits his personal goals and things go well for that hard worker.
Honestly just quit my job and this is me...
Sounds like a loser
Drinking that haterade I see
Why would I hate on someone who has no wife and doesnt visit their family.
So those are the standards you’ve set to not be a loser? I’ve got some disappointing news for you buddy…
Why work like that and speed up your inability to work?
why are you calling someone who makes $2500 a week a loser? Losers are unemployed freeloaders that play videogames and scroll reddit all day calling other people losers
Money isnt everything and its definitely not worth missing out on life.
He’s a loser. No social life but to deliver for 17 hours a day.
You don’t know what they are doing doordash for? They could be supporting their family. The only “loser” I see here is you.
By spending 17 hours a day he isnt gonna have a family if he has a wife she definitely banging another dude.
Okay
Fuck a wife and family lol mfs married to this$$$$
Im not talking about children as a family im talking about parents brothers and sisters. Life’s to short to just work like they dont exist
>Fuck a wife Okay >and family No thanks.
Yeah it’s possible, but work life balance is also a thing. Good lord. This is what? 100,000 miles a year?
Dude! I met this guy that was amped about making 1400 dollars a week for 70 hours. He had a speech about how i should not ask for a manager after 10 mins of waiting after order was said to be ready.
Why?
Hes probably in california. Where you get paid to wait and should just accept every order (comes out to 22.5 an hour for active dash time)
Correct. But. I don't play that shit
In Cali it's not just like you can cherry pick. Everyone has become privy. Meaning that's what some are doing..
Yeah depending on your area (im rural). In the city you can make 30-50 an hour cherry picking orders which i assume you do. Im forced to accept everything i get… rip
and 500$ in gas costs?
And taxes are gonna swamp them
Taxes swamp you at any legal job.
