Your active time is not your work time. Your Dash time is your work time as long as you are out of the house and intending to work (some people start their Dash at home and take awhile to get a good offer and most of us don't count this as work time). The time between offers counts as work time. Active time exists for DD's auto insurance reasons as you are only covered by DD's auto coverage during active time. DD has since manipulated this to trick new drivers into thinking their work time is their active time and that is wrong. UE and GH don't have active time at all. Your shift starts when you accept you accept your first delivery or when you arrive to your first hot spot and your shift ends after your final delivery. Also you need to run multiple apps. If you have a good order with a long wait time you can keep it, do a short distance delivery on another app and return to pick up the delayed order so you stay busy making money and have no down time. The biggest mistake drivers make is only driving on 1 app. You need as many apps as possible and if DD is being cheap with no Peak Pay then you drive for GH and UE. Also when you get good you want to run with 2 or 3 apps on at the same time and create your own stacked offers between 2 different apps as long as the pick ups and drop offs are both heading in the same direction. I do DD/GH and in 2021 I averaged $23.72 per hour just doing DD as I didn't have GH and this year is all DD/GH and my average is $27.84 per hour. My deliveries per hour jumped from 2.2 to 2.4 running 2 apps and my average payout per order increased by about $1 per order.
For me active time is about the same as actual time working. I mix personal things into my active time and also chill at home most of the time while waiting for orders… so my active time is close to accurate for time spent actually working. Maybe a little more, maybe a little less, but close…

No matter what anyone says, DD considers active time when you are on an order. Dash time is the whole time you are on a dash.....active is when you get a delivery.

I’ve been doordashing for quite awhile…started in august 2019 and stop when the pandemic hit and got back few months ago…I’m gonna following these tips and tricks because I do have good days and bad days so I’m gonna give this a shot!
I just started dashing a couple of weeks ago and I quickly learned that the $2/mile rule isn't applicable in my area. I dash in a midwestern Suburban area and the offers just aren't that good. I still try not to take an offer less than $7 or $8 unless it's super close/convenient. It's a side hustle for me for a couple hours at night/on the weekend so making crazy cash isn't my goal anyway. I'm averaging about $20/hour so far which is fine with me.
Fellow dasher here, TD as well. 1900 off 184 dashes isn’t remarkable, it’s actually average, I do 100 dashes a weekend and make a grand. I mean I could work all week and make 2k but I’m also a full time student, I’ve made 3k in a month and didn’t even know what I was doing..lol
How? Are you on your bike or driving? Cause if it's a bike, that would explain a lot. My area doesn't have a lot of restaurants and people have time to cook in my area. So I think I might get around maybe $300 per week
@@BestDasherAlive I thought about it but you can’t write off motorcycle/bike miles I can write off .65 pe r mile for a vehicle, I probably won’t pay anything in taxes
You want to keep your Completion Rate above 95% so you can have Early Access scheduling at 3pm. Otherwise you can’t schedule until midnight, by then not much is available. I used to unassign all the time if it was taking too long, but then I wasn’t able to schedule until midnight. Acceptance rate is another matter. I’ve had it as low as 6%.
yea there's not really any reason completion rate should drop anymore than a couple points from an occasional cancel. although i did one time cancel an order that was 15 deliveries and that definitely dropped it. i didn't see any negative impact from it tho
@@NickmadeStupidVideo the completion rate matters for Early Access Scheduling (ability to schedule at 3pm). If it's under 95% it won't let you schedule until midnight.
I run 5.0 rating, 100 acceptance rate 100 completion, 93% on time, 400 dashes lifetime. It says I get FIRST priority on orders. So in a “pack” of dashers in a hotspot I know I’ll get first shot at the order, and I’ll take it, no more wondering why I’m not getting orders. And I’ve made over 3400 on those 400 dashes
This is facts spent almost 45 minutes on a $5 order that has us go through a 3 story mall and do a treasure hunt to find a small Cafe on the 3rd floor of a clothing store.. absolutely should have declined or said can't compete older as soon as i saw the mall..
Honestly I love taking 3.00 orders with do tip that take forever. I get 23 an hour after the guarantee + miles, if a 3 dollar order took me 30 minutes , it would pay out to 12 dollars for me. Test it out, run a day of whoring out and doing every order, I bet you’d be surprised. For me the secret is active time, I’ll do whatever for active time
I do grubhub from time to time. I'll make around $50 in 7 hrs ,after gas it's about $25 a day ,not sure how in the world people are making that much money .
I started doing DoorDash I do mostly Uber eats… But the algorithm that you’re mentioning and DoorDash when I decline I don’t have an option to give you the reason it just tells me I’m gonna go for instance from 80% to 79% if I wanna continue to decline basically so I’m in Canada Toronto Ontario. So just wondering how you’re getting access to the Algorithm to let it know why you declined
welcome to doordashing ....it looks like you got new dasher incentive pay from what i saw on the screenshot...your still putting in dedicated work hours and you seem to focus on the best strategies for your location and available time but you need a least 1000 deliveries to give factual tips and tricks to help others. experience teaches the best way. regardless you seem very knowledgeable and i plan on staying tuned in.
also calling or texting support before you unassign will get you half pay and will not drop your completion rate. most people think you only get half pay if the store is closed but if you speak to support while your still on the order you will get half pay...only do this if you have been waiting a long time or if they tell you the wait will be a very long time.
if a customer texts you and says they put the wrong address then tell them you will call support to get the order canceled. if they offer you a cash tip to bring it to where they are then just know that you cant complete the order unless your gps is in range of the address attached to the order. you will have to go to the address attached to the order and mark as delivered and then go to the new address the customer gave you. if its too far and they dont end up tipping then your out of luck so i suggest giving them the option to cancel if you havent marked the order as picked up yet then you will get half pay. otherwise DELIVER TO THE ADDRESS ATTACHED TO THE ORDER, take a pic, and move on..they can complain and give you a 1 star all they want but you can get that removed instantly because you did what you were supposed to do. ive done this before many ways and even got contract violations but im honest and i take pics of all my deliveries and i screenshot texts with customers when things get inconvenient so the violations get removed after i reach out to support.
Yeah my first week I hardly worked and made $600. But honestly since then I’m struggling to make $500 a week it’s just dead. Your videos make it seem like you’re very near my area. I’m in Irvine, where are you located ?
I don’t think you were being penalized… The algorithm was listening to you and stop sending you orders for less than $25 and it didn’t have too many orders for more than $25 that’s probably what happened so yeah you gotta be careful.
@@BestDasherAlive people said a app called para let you see tips and hidden ones with door dash but their Currently still working on getting a way to make it happen again.

I show the hrs spent working on the screen and they’re in the screenshots. There’s “active time” and “dash time”. Active time is once you accept an offer to when you hit complete delivery. Dash time is the other time you spend sitting waiting for offers. I dash from home so my active time is actually closer to my actual time spent working. Bc if I’m not on a delivery, I’m back at home within a few minutes chillin doin whatever else while fielding offers
So get your bike out sun, rain or snow with no gas prices and up and down mountain roads and just maybe you wont kill yourself and tell us just how to do it BS style!
So I feel like this video is manipulated for the clicks and adds if you active time and dash time are so close you didn’t have time to do whatever you wanted, you were working
12:30 door dash isn't going to cherry pick good orders for you just because you pressed order too small you know that door dash does not reward you for declining orders 😂
sure does bud. i've tested it probably 5000+ times by now. literally sat one day declining order too small then got a $75 offer. "cherry pick" is an exaggeration but the algorithm absolutely takes your feedback and tries to give you routes/offers according to your feedback that still make sense for doordash. that's what's most efficient - what's best for doordash and dasher - so that's what the algorithm will try and accomplish, especially if you give it some feedback to work with
