the trick is to take your time getting to the store doordash gives you a 10-minute grace period before you are considered late. then I'll get the order and sit minutes in my car because most of those orders don't tip well anyway and then I move at a snail's Pace to get to the customer might even need a bathroom break or 2 by that time I am at almost at an hour😂😂😂. any other time I'm doing pay by order with people who actually tip so they get their food fast😂😂😂😂

My brother told me that if it doesn't give you more than 1 dollar per Mile it isn't worth

In South Florida it's $14 at 25 cents or $15.25. And here's the problem! Its' only on active dashing. When you are waiting for a delivery that time doesn't count. And 70% of the time when a delivery comes in usually longer than 7 Mile trips I've tried it twice I don't like it great video

I did it too and it went very similar to you it seems like more pay but more miles. Reallyyy market dependent on if its worth it or not

In my area, we get 15 an hour, but honestly it’s way more worth it to do earn per order. It’s probably more of a part-time Job then a full-time job because if you’re going during the lunch and dinner hours in my area I normally make between $20 an hour and $30 an hour. Obviously if you go all day there’s gonna be downtimes were making like five to $10 an hour, which isn’t good.

Try driving a semi truck trailer that gets 4-6 miles per gallon? With owners accepting low pay per mile load's! And if you turn a load down because of this, the dispatchers, planner's and brokers will leave you sitting around.

I tried it for the first time today and none of the orders were farther than maybe 7 mins away and it didn’t really take me too far out of my zone. So it was great that they were all so close, but I feel like they purposely assign the orders that have either no tips or very low tips that drivers reject in the normal DoorDash model. Cuz hey they know they can legally get away w it

In my market EBT is $13.50 and at busy times as high as $16.50 that I have seen.

I typically make more per hour than that( around $20-$22) doing earn by order. Of course I decline more this way.

So I’m thinking EBT, although a pay cut might be a useful way to raise and sustain acceptance rates. I’m at 71% typically

The problem is that one good tip you got makes or breaks it. Unfortunately it seems this option gives even worse tips cause you are picking up from places that don’t get selected often.

[anthonybaci]

Bro in my area it says 17/hr and then it goes up to 19 at night

[jessicataylor]

The only time i find this beneficial is when it's slow and you really have to make these orders drag out as long as possible.

[pureakkuracy]

It’s good depending on your area mine is 18.50 an hour plus tips normally the biggest thing is when your just earning by order you’re forced to take bad orders when it’s not busy or just wait for a good one vs earn by time you’re on the go 24/7 during your DoorDash because you just accept every order

[GRAYBOOSH-]

I also did it and about the same results. I make almost double picking my own runs.

[gregthenotacowboysfan]

lol yea we basically get the per offer rejects but it’s nice at night when you have to wait in drive thru lines

[lastfirst]

I finally figured out why it’s hard to find good information on dashing beyond basic obvious stuff. I knew it already, but I didn’t think about it. We’re in direct competition. We’re competing for these orders.

Some of it is also that most videos you find won’t be dashing in your area so they can’t give specific advice, but I’m also thinking I’ve seen some advice given that contradicts my experience and it’s hard to tell if I’m being steered wrong on purpose.

But I know what works for me and I’m sticking with it.

[ArielZili]

Why I don’t have by hour option no more it’s been 2 month I don’t get it I called them they say we don’t know I restart and everything nothing again anyone know let me know thx

[KLondike]

My car expenses are pretty cheap but still at $0.30 a mile. That's about $6.50 and a half dollars of expense on my clock not including depreciation or taxes.

[uniquegore]

Just take your time and make every delivery closer to an hour 🤷🏾‍♂️

[matthaberek]

I’m still trying to figure out which is better in my small town. By order or hourly pay of 12$ and the supposed plus tips. It seems like hourly pay is only good if you don’t have any downtime and constantly moving order after order. No breaks but I’m not sure

[MsBwine]

Sometimes it gets slow before the hrs they will cut u off n your make only half the money sucks when that happens
