My brakes started grinding today, so I’m out for a few, but Wednesday and Friday were fantastic in the Minneapolis area. Plus, somebody walked off with one of my Pizza Hut deliveries.
It's been that way for me ever since they changed to the tier system I have either been platinum or silver I have never been gold. But I could care less about my acceptance rate I don't need dash now I just have to be able to schedule in advance and I'm good
4% ar. Wednesday i took 4 dd orders. $50, $32.75, $20.95 & $11.50. Took a couple of others on other apps. Made $138 in 3 hrs. 45 miles. Its fine to decline!
In your market , here in Canada doordash is second to ubereats so since they switched on the rewards program i have received about 5 orders in a week, only Hindus here doing doordash mostly full time , and taking all the walmart crappy orders, that you can't even see the items at all,
@minimalist_monk The $50 order is a bit unusual. But the point is not to accept crap. I have regulars that I know tip well. I obviously see crappy orders and I even reject orders that most would consider decent. The goal is profit. I know about what times and what days my regulars on each app order. Of which I know how to get to their place without GPS. Some are short distances. The longer distances I take multiple orders on multiple apps or picking up an add on dd. I also communicate and know each of my regulars and who is leaving me a extra or cash tip. I average about $12 per order across all my apps. Sometimes higher. I know who is going to pay me twenty five to thirty dollars for a three mile trip. I have a number of regulars that will pay me thirty dollars for a 9 to 10 mile trip and then add on with other apps in between that stop. The main point is that drivers that will take these low ball offers will continue to allow doordash and all these apps to lower the pay. I have not been above sixteen percent a r in over a year. I also live very close to a Hotspot so I don't leave the house until I get a decent order and when I get home I just leave the app on to increase Pay for other drivers by jamming up the system. You are worth more than 2,3,4,5 or 6 dollars in hopes of getting a good order later. And if your market is not good enough to do this, you should not be doing these gig apps. Also have other means of adding income to your bottom line that you can work on when you're sitting declining orders. I will probably be getting out of the gig app space soon. Maybe not entirely because I do know what my good times and my good offers are going to be. But I did enjoy it when it was more fast paced. Unfortunately, I believe it will get worse because too many drivers are chasing their A. R. Just for the hope of good orders.
I'm new to this but I have learned it all depends on the market you're in. Some places it's almost impossible to get a spot on the schedule and it's completely impossible to dash now ever if you aren't platinum. I was just visiting family this week for thanksgiving and was silver in that area because you needed 80% AR and I have 77%. I wanted to see what dashing was like there but there was no dash now available and zero openings on the schedule so I couldn't even try it out. Back home I'm lucky tho. it's always busy but tbh, I don't really have to try and I am usually between 75%-83% AR. There are bad orders that come in but there just aren't really enough of them to drop that far down.
I have dealt with my fair share of printer issues over the past several years of having my business. Not sure what kind of printer you have, but lines in the printing... on your printer, go into the settings under maintenance and run a cleaning and then a print head alignment. If it doesn't work completely, you can do it again, but I don't recommend doing it more than twice. I've been told by Canon support before not to do more than 2 cleanings in a 24 hour period. You can actually ruin your print heads from it. Trust me... I've dealt with enough print head frustrations (which I later figured out was the paper I was using causing it). These days I have multiple printers (Canon & HP). Let me know if that helps and if not, I can try to help you further troubleshoot it.
I'm 80% from 97%. After 6 weeks of dashing it's giving me trash offer after trash offer unless it's peak pay. 3.00 for 4 miles 😂 8.00 for 18 miles. I'm kinda over their shenanigans 🙃 they know you are chasing the dragon. Addicted. Enslaved.
I hear ya. Some Dashers claim being platinum works for them, but I'm thinking they are in an area with enough high paying orders to go around. I don't know how DD can continue the rewards program when it doesn't work for most dashers. You bust your butt getting up to platinum and it doesn't get you much. Evidently it works for DD, they've found the best way to manipulate dashers. I don't play their game, I schedule and only take orders that make sense.
Nice video, and we all have had or have relatives who we could easily do without during the holiday season, I have cut contact with most, due to their lack of boundaries or behavior, one thing to remember do not put down others if you do not care, as the person you talk to might actually care about those you put down and if they are the one you want to see, they will cut you from their visits, I would prefer to have less folks around and ones who know boundaries.
I have the same issue where I try to decline an order and it tries to drop me 2%! It’s so crazy! I just want to make it to platinum and just see for myself lol
I’m platinum at 78% and I find it hard at times to even keep at above 70%. I can schedule up to seven days in advance and when I get close to 70% I do ebt. Ebt here is $16 an hour and the tips are not bad. I noticed on ebt you don’t get shop n pay offers.
Oh my my. That first guy was a trip lol. You talking of Walmart and Spark. I had an Uber order that was a Walmart pick up. Sith Lord Tony heard your comment about not caring about the pizza bag lol. Here the only Pizza place l have to take pics for is Romeo's. I don't have a Little Ceasers. Gas here is $2.58. Hope you had a great Thanksgiving.
As far as I know Spark is only available in 2-3 provinces here in Canada and not even every city/Walmart is on there. I'm about a 1-2 DAY drive from the closest Walmart that participates I believe.
Unless I can do EBT every day no way to stay at platinum. I am able to stay at silver and can schedule 6 days in advance without a problem. I also schedule in 2 hour blocks so if I sleep in or get kicked off for some reason I can get back on. Also don’t believe a word some of these people say making $150 a day, unless they are dashing 16 hours.
I can make 150 day, I do not shop it takes to much time for me in this area food/ drugs is where it is at. All locations are never the same. The scripts can be a wait normally it is not that bad here. Not in the city. You need to make at least 100 plus whatever it costs you in gas that day. I only work daylight hours night work pays well here.
Hopefully silver works out for you, i waited longer in between offers but they were better. Im gold now more offers not as trashy as platinum ive raised AR to 93% and only a few orders away to getting platinum back and i dont want it. When I fell out of platinum first time I couldn't dash now since nov of 2022.
I'm in NE GA.. My AR was 83% and they dropped me from platinum to gold. I wonder why? I thought I would lose platinum if I hit 70%..It's so sad to try and work hard for ppl that seem to not care sometimes. I have to say, as far as customer service though, I have always talked with really nice ppl. I just started almost 4 months ago. Thanks for the content, Charlie.😊👍
@@cantgetright742 Yes, thank you for the reply.. I looked and it was a little under 100 deliveries, so they dropped me lol I'm still learning 😅 a few months in. I didn't even realize about the 100 deliveries. I had kept the # up without even knowing..lol I was trying to keep my AR up. Thanks so much! I appreciate it😊👍
Yes, why would you want to jump into an area that already has enough dashers? I suppose because they are platinum they think they will be given priority, and take orders away from lower Tiers. I never liked that about Top Dashers, they would always butt into an area that wasn't busy and make it worse for everyone.
Remember they say take a picture even if they come to door because u are going to be notified that a certain percentage of ur leave at door pics dont have a picture
@@FoHTon80 I started taking a pic of the house or mailbox from the car if I hand the order to the customer. That notification is probably nothing to worry about, I've gotten those a few times, but better safe than sorry. I don't want to do anything that possibly sends up red flags.
Whoever says silver is good is crazy, I have been Platinum for 10 months finally whittled down to silver at 68% ar and the scheduling is almost impossible not to mention the really really shity offers you get can't wait to get back to plat
@@chrisparker8683 Ok, LOL! I understand the scheduling part of it, and that's why you need platinum. If I ever have to get to platinum just to schedule, I'll just quit.
Sorry Charlie, ☹ Does this now mean you'll only able to schedule 3 days out instead of 5? I think the new scheduling starts Dec. 1, not sure. You'll be fine and bounce back. It's just another change happening just like the merch store and your other channel. This could be a good thing and free up more time for those things instead. 🤔
70% In my area you have to maintain 80% AR for platinum. It sucks.
That would be nearly impossible here! What is your area?
I just went down to sliver day before yesterday my apr is %68
I worked Thanksgiving and it sucked. Nothing but garbage.

There is no way you make 150 with a 40% AR.
