Car problems are what made me stop dashing for now. I was having things go out and getting towed so I stopped going out cause it wasn't working out anymore.

I noticed that DoorDash will quickly take down your acceptance rate when you don't take an order whether you click decline or not.

I've been driving for a month, never made more than $17 per hour

DoorDash is good for the young ones who’s still at home with there parents and not having to pay bills

Yeah I did the break down this last year when I did taxes, and I was appalled. I am done, ready to go back to a regular job. I won't have the freedom of schedule or avoid standing on my feet, but I will actually make money. I actually went in the red this year, which means I paid DD to deliver food for them. I've got two cars sitting with major issues that I can't afford to fix right now. DONE

Videos like this need to go viral when people see that "$30/hr" doordash claims drivers make.

Great video in breaking down the math and showing how much DoorDash drivers actually make! 👍

You missed one of the biggest expenses - THE CAR - it will be trashed in 4-5 years

If you deliver food with more then 4 cylinders, you are chewing up your profits.

If you run synthetic you can easily stretch an oil change to 7k miles. Do your own oil change and it costs you parts. Rotors are easy to replace yourself as are breaks. I am only doing door dash on the side for extra money to support my normal income. Ideally you get an electric car and then gas goes poof, oil goes poof etc. Every single thing you do to your car is tax exempt if the car is for business. Taxes go poof as long as you keep every receipt.

1:58 i been doing door dash for 7 years the pay is not good progressively i use to make 150 in 4 hours now it breaking 100 😓

We could use experts like you, Moore. You are very knowledgeable.

In CA it’s not worth it right now because gas is between $4-5 a gallon. 😢

What people also need to be aware of is that while 41k a year might not apply for every car, you’d only be able to drive for a handful of years before you’d have to get a different car if you do this full time and the trade in value would almost be zero

This job isn’t and has never been meant for full time work and people need to understand that
You’ll find a better structure and pay at McDonald’s than DoorDash or any gig app for that matter

Yes you can make good money but that’s just as a side hustle

And this is coming from someone who routinely makes $400-$500 a week while working 3-4 days a week

[guillogaming]

It is scary but the ways to do better at the end kinda made it a little less stressful to think about thanks for the video

[chrislaneDivo]

$13.50 to shop for somebody at the Pavilions grocery store for an hour and 30 minutes with 48 unique items is not right

PS $5 tip included

After a couple months of dashing, I’ve learned that everyone is getting conned into slavery and many is fine with it.

My market usually tips well, but the problem is that restaurants around me NEVER have orders ready. I can accurately say my average wait time is around 6 minutes. This makes it really hard to do more than two orders within the hour when 20 minutes is spent simply waiting. If they always had stuff ready I’d easily average $30/hour.

[Celestinewarbeck]

My back window got busted out on a dash. Thank goodness for car insurance, because with my pay as a dasher I would not have been able to get it repaired

[robertallison]

@2:02 I made 136 in exactly 6 hours online with 83 miles driven Saturday night. Top dasher with alcohol, pizza and prioritized for shopping. Not sure when you last paid for an oil change, but it costs 75-120 here using Mobile 1 Full synthetic. However, Mobile 1 Full synthetic is guaranteed for 10, 000 miles so you get way more miles per change.
