Thanks, Charlie,for the inspirational push for people to start or continue with another side hustle 😊 It's so slow in my area too. I'm not sure if it's because they've onboarded more drivers, or if it's because people are traveling. Happy Thanksgiving 🍗🦃. I hope that you can make some money.
It has been crazy crazy busy on the other side of the country. Pittsburgh PA area, we had five dollar peak pay tonight. Weather was crappy even a winery mix, but I was breaking in the dough. I was making $30 plus an hour or more.
I'm thrilled that Charlie is branching out beyond the apps. I'm about to make business flyers to advertise that I'm willing to do gig work without the apps. It'll be slow at first but much more rewarding.
DoorDash has been so slow lately. I'm just glad to know it's not just me because I don't care about my AR. I'm not accepting all the garbage they send. Tip on how to know if it's going to make you take a picture... if the button says "continue with pickup" you'll have to take a picture. If it's "confirm pickup" then you won't. Sticker making is what I do! 😊 Business has just been a bit slower this year with inflation, so I've been filling in with the gig apps.
I work full time as an emergency dispatcher. Do doordash and uber eats on the side. I also do small engine repair and flip lawn mowers on the side. Wife and l are getting into wood working and crafting for the winter months. I swear every Taco Bell has a shift of slackers and the lazy. Somedays they are rocking. Other days they are pure dog water. Super slow orders are wrong or missing things.
Taco Bell and Little Caesars takes the longest for me! I dread those orders. You are so funny! Everything you say out loud is what I am saying in my head!! 🤣 I start off the day so stoked, but if my first hour has those crappy small orders bring a platinum door dasher it makes me crazy!! Like it’s all a scam! But I sty positive and focused and try to remember that there are things about DD that I do like. Thank you for making me feel like I’m not alone in my crazy thoughts! 😂Keep on keeping on all you warriors! You have to have a sense of humor and stay kind!
Positive thoughts?… after watching your other video about been in a car and alone?…my 2¢…you are calm, with good music, walking and talking a little outside in a sunny or rainy day 👍🏻 About having less patience…yes…I heard that is bc the electromagnetic field is getting stronger and it is making people jumpy… good luck!!
Central Florida.. My DD dropped by probably 40% over 4 months ago and it's never really gotten better. I was Plat for 3 of those months and simply saw my income keep dropping. I went back to cherry picking and I'm making the same as I was making on Plat but still less than I was making 5 months ago.. DD has gone to crap, but then I talk to other drivers "claiming" they are making good money but I'm not seeing it. Also one thing that is weird is weekends have been really bad compared to before.. My problem is unless you keep at least 50% you can't get full schedules.. I don't keep 50% so that means I can't even work mornings if I wanted. Typically the only time I can consistently get scheduled is 11am to 9:30 PM but lunch is usually not worth the time wasted...
It's been incredibly slow. It's been slow longer than the last couple weeks though and it doesn't seem to be getting any better. No thanks to DD and their games🙄 Multi apping is the only way I'm getting by right now. Barely. Even during lunch/supper. When you've been doing this a while like I have you know to plan for January and July and the dead zone but the more this year has gone on the worse it's got. I can't imagine January. Start stashing cash or find more income elsewhere. It's not looking pretty. I'm not being over the top... Just realistic.
Im about quit doordash, starting to hate everything about it. Ive only dashed for 3 months and I've learned that it's different now than it was 3 months ago. F Doordash and then I hear they're stealing tips? Damn, greed is a sin fr fr
Thanksgiving week will have more orders, especially for groceries and Spark will be busy. But you'll see more small grocery orders. A lot of family members aren't traveling home to meet up with family this year because they can't afford it or they simply can't stand them.
the market here in san antonio is def slower. it is coinciding with the reappearance of the refer a friend offer so my impression has been DD is oversaturating the market so they can rip off new people before they learn how it works
DD has been very slow out here near Fort Carson. Uber Eats has been busier but not by much. Most customers out here are ordering like they would before Covid (ordering for dinner about twice a month).
My good sir let me give you a tip about the picture thing if it says continue with pick up a picture is required if it says confirm no picture required
IMO it’s just ppl saving their disposable income for BF deals and/or general holiday gifting. But yes it’s been crazy slow this week for me on all platforms (spark, ue, dd, gh, and even shipt)
Yeah doordash has been god awful in my area for a while now. Luckily my delivery count is well over 200 so I'm not dashing until I have to 😂 70 AR. Sorry I missed the Tuesday live Charlie. Happy thanksgiving
Hi Charlie!! 👋 From Heather: "Got your response, and yes you did answer the project question." Now my turn... as with most holidays it'll be a solo one or as I say "solitary" holiday meal. So I planned ahead (way ahead) & have both Thanksgiving & Xmas pretty gotten &/or frozen & ready to go. I'll admit its a little different planning a solitary holiday meal then a huge feast for 4-6 people. But hey it's ready to be made & eaten next Thur or on Sat with the bio-fam on the Zoom family dinner table. (Most of them are in SC or GA so we eat together via Zoom.) lol 😜
I got another contract violation for extreme lateness driving during rush hour traffic even though dd said call them and message the customer about the lateness and they still gave me one. Dd is a joke.
I'm with you on Taco Bell being the worst. It's the same way in market and my most disliked place to get an order from. I usually give it 5 minutes and then unassigned if it's not out as it can take 20 minutes some times to get an order.
Its not slow theres orders to take 24/7. They manipulate the algorithm so hard bro. I think they fried it. I always pickup good paying orders and the food is cold. Makes no sense. The algorithm is trashed but i think theyre really making earn by time more efficient. I just did earn by time for 4 days straight, 40 hours total. Made 20 bucks an hour averaged out. Today i realized im platinum with 80% AR SO I DECIDED ILL try earn by offer. I didnt see a single order from 10am to 11:20am. Very odd for a friday. They were just giving orders to other drivers.
Wish I could make 600. I haven't seen 600+ since summer 2020. Lucky to make 400 working 7 days a week 12+ hours a day with 6 apps combined. Used to make 2,300+ a week on GrubHub alone. Now GrubHub brings about $50 to $80 a week. That's how bad it has gotten here in Indiana.
That is a weirdly high drop for this time of year. Do you believe in the DD throttling conspiracy and that DD tries to spread the money out between Dashers? Also, have you noticed a lot of new Dashers in your area? Myself and 2 others I know averaged about $25 an hour back in April when we were brand new, but after 3 weeks it started to drop every week, $22, $19, $18 and then $14 an hour in June and it has never gone back up above $15 an hour for any week since. Early on I would get a lot of $15 and $20 orders during the week with a ton of $7-$10 dollar orders and now I rarely see a $10 order and get tons of $4-$5.50 orders. I know those people that paid big are still ordering 3-5 days a week on DD and still paying big, but I just do not get their orders any more. I used to deliver to these big tippers so much I recognized their name and knew the address immediately after Accepting. I have seen dashers at these houses and sometimes I drive by and see food that had just been dropped off. At the same time I have seen a lot of new Dashers since mid September and my market had been closed to new Dashers, putting them on a waiting list since late May.
For me in the Chattanooga market it hasn't been slow. Well maybe for lunch rush. But dinner rush is slow till about 8pm then the heatmap explodes. It's weird around these here parts. I guess it's due to TN slow time.🤷♂
SMELLS GOOD in there. I sometimes deliver to a Marijuana dispensary in Illinois and I am always worried that I smell like pot when I leave and that a customer might notice and mistakenly report me for being high. Any thoughts, anyone?
Hey hey Charlie! I worked 2.5 hours the other day. First hour, I made $26. Second hour, a whopping $12, last half hour i made $15! Very very slow. Hurry up and wait for a decent order to come through. I would love to have a ebay business but I have no clue what to do.... anyone want to show me? I would love that
eBay isnt what it once was. Everyone has been watching youtube and they all started listing on eBay so the market is oversaturated like most things, you have to find businesses that isnt blowing up on youtube
I'd easily take that 1st offer in the video. I'd finish it in less than 20 minutes and bank 14.75. I think dashers are getting too picky. Two of those in one hour is a VERY easy 29.50 hour. If I was in that zone I'd crush it! I never turn my car off while dashing. It will ruin the starter and battery. I leave her running the entire dash, and that is from my mechanic background. It's cheaper too. a startup uses more gas than a 20 minute idle.
I thought the dinging was in my head.... Never drive the day before Turkey Day. Otherwise you become the turkey stuck in grid locked traffic. It's going to be a great 4 years my friend! 🇺🇲👍 Captain for Boat Setter in the summer time. I hate this time of the year! DD full time right now.
Don't you love the restaurants that mark the order ready as soon as they get it. Before they've even started making it.
Happens way too often.
The danger zone of letting my mind play with saying "decals and stickers" at the same time! 😂😂😂
A longer video would be just fine with me! I always enjoy your commentary, it would be great! 😁
The same here!
Thanks, Charlie,for the inspirational push for people to start or continue with another side hustle 😊
It's so slow in my area too. I'm not sure if it's because they've onboarded more drivers, or if it's because people are traveling. Happy Thanksgiving 🍗🦃. I hope that you can make some money.

Illegal migrants have taken over and saturated all markets. That’s why it’s slow now

Yes taco bell are so incompetent
I believe it is 100% the people w/the illegal accts and signal jammers, and new drivers.🥰
I think so too I've seen people carry 3 phones on their hands
Yup. Illegal migrants have taken over and saturated the market

I saw the writing on the wall and got a PT job on the weekend. I also mulit app.
I wish I can multiapp . Got deactivated on UE and still on the waiting list for GH.
DD lowered the Hourly Rate for Work By Time by .50/hr in my area 3 or 4 days ago in my area.
Here where I live too
considering the holidays are here is very weird that is so slow other years I used to get a lot of orders by this time but this year terrible
Illegal Migrants have flooded and saturated all markets. That’s why it’s gotten slow this year
When we expect it to be slow, it will be. When we expect abundance the angels will shine in our favor.
Im about quit doordash, starting to hate everything about it. Ive only dashed for 3 months and I've learned that it's different now than it was 3 months ago. F Doordash and then I hear they're stealing tips? Damn, greed is a sin fr fr
Ive been doing dd for 5 years it has changed so much it was good until about a year ago since then it's gone downhill
It fell off the cliff this week for me too
Yes it has been slow and the estimated time has been off 1 to 5 minutes means wait up to 15 minutes for orders
Slow in my marketplace. Started the day after the Election. It's been like a summer slowdown.
The same! Reminds me of summer slow down. ALMOST worse than that in my area this fall season.
Thanksgiving week will have more orders, especially for groceries and Spark will be busy. But you'll see more small grocery orders. A lot of family members aren't traveling home to meet up with family this year because they can't afford it or they simply can't stand them.
so just this year alot of people started not liking their families enough to visit for thanksgiving?
the market here in san antonio is def slower. it is coinciding with the reappearance of the refer a friend offer so my impression has been DD is oversaturating the market so they can rip off new people before they learn how it works
8:56 what do you use to make your stickers and your shirts? 😊
DD has been very slow out here near Fort Carson. Uber Eats has been busier but not by much. Most customers out here are ordering like they would before Covid (ordering for dinner about twice a month).
My good sir let me give you a tip about the picture thing if it says continue with pick up a picture is required if it says confirm no picture required
It’s also been slow here in the Overland Park, Kansas area.
IMO it’s just ppl saving their disposable income for BF deals and/or general holiday gifting. But yes it’s been crazy slow this week for me on all platforms (spark, ue, dd, gh, and even shipt)
Well but how else if they don't save disposable income will they afford Christmas presents or Thanksgiving?
@@donaldlyons17traditionally people would have budgeted for the holidays.
"Munchies on the Clock" take that up with research and development 😎💚
🙏☮️💚
11 days ago "im done trying to keep platinum"
today "i still have platinum"
🤦♂
Did you want me to just tank my AR? Only take orders $10 or higher? One can be platinum and not try to keep it. Thanks for the view
Yeah doordash has been god awful in my area for a while now. Luckily my delivery count is well over 200 so I'm not dashing until I have to 😂 70 AR.
Sorry I missed the Tuesday live Charlie. Happy thanksgiving
Good job unassigning that Taco Bell. Then you got a decent 17 dollar order. Good move!!
Hi Charlie!! 👋

Minneapolis area is lit up like a Christmas tree with three dollar per order bonus all over the metro area.
They're doing $7 per order all over Philly
UPS guy was juggling boxes with fragile, handle with care written on them. Did I miss the merch update? Interested in those Bigfoot decals.
Today, I had to alot more receipt photos than normal for some reason
@4:38, Wachu talking about willis
And first to comment, LETS GOO!!
I got another contract violation for extreme lateness driving during rush hour traffic even though dd said call them and message the customer about the lateness and they still gave me one. Dd is a joke.
Same thing happened to me, except the main road to the customer was closed and I had to backtrack 5 miles and then find another way to the customer.
Did you put order wasn’t ready on time when pickup time.
@jok7679 i did everything I was supposed to do per what dd told me to do
And they still gave me one.
😮
Same. I think they are doing that because of California prop 22 pay. Sleazy move.
I'm with you on Taco Bell being the worst. It's the same way in market and my most disliked place to get an order from. I usually give it 5 minutes and then unassigned if it's not out as it can take 20 minutes some times to get an order.

Slow and horrible orders my AC is terrible , very slow today for Friday even dinner rush I came home . Tommorow I’m doing Lyft rides holiday rush
Hey Charlie, it's been crazy slow in my area. I was hitting 1,200 weekly now. I'm lucky to hit 600😮💨
Wish I could make 600. I haven't seen 600+ since summer 2020. Lucky to make 400 working 7 days a week 12+ hours a day with 6 apps combined. Used to make 2,300+ a week on GrubHub alone. Now GrubHub brings about $50 to $80 a week. That's how bad it has gotten here in Indiana.

other than the snow day earlier this week it has been dead here
For me in the Chattanooga market it hasn't been slow. Well maybe for lunch rush. But dinner rush is slow till about 8pm then the heatmap explodes. It's weird around these here parts. I guess it's due to TN slow time.🤷♂
But the crazy thing is that in this market, DD is offering referrals at $900!!! Hey DD you can pay more base pay to current drivers!!!
Errrrybody moving to TN, gonna be a prime spot for many things for years to come.
Slow and horrible orders my AC is terrible , very slow today for Friday even dinner rush I came home
Proxy pics is cool
SMELLS GOOD in there. I sometimes deliver to a Marijuana dispensary in Illinois and I am always worried that I smell like pot when I leave and that a customer might notice and mistakenly report me for being high. Any thoughts, anyone?
Ozuim idk how it's spelt it's a spray like freebreeze but takes away all smells
Hey Charlie have seen the Sasquatch bars of soap???
Hey hey Charlie! I worked 2.5 hours the other day. First hour, I made $26. Second hour, a whopping $12, last half hour i made $15! Very very slow.

@theoldestmillenial yes very true I didn't think of it
The only thing to not do is doordash and Uber anything else it has a possibility of making income
It's dead here. Olympic peninsula
4:24 Um, Thank you? 😉

Everyone is investing thier disposable income into Trumf stonks 😢
