So since I’m in the suburbs, you have to drive like average 5-7 miles for each order. What I started doing is not accepting any order with mileage over 8 so that no matter where I go, I’m always close to home/starting position
Same here......A lot of these RUclips channels are in hyper-urban areas and much of what they advise has little bearing on many of us in suburban and small town markets. We have no peak pay to speak of, the closest zone to me is an hour away and I have never ended up in another zone, etc. You can pick up some good advice occasionally, but most of this stuff is for the city folks. After a year of watching and trying different strategies I pull around $20-$22 per hour working only 9-5, M-F.
@@tonybowman8902 I've pointed this out to Mike multiple times. And yes sometimes I get a decent tip or two from a video. But more than 50% nope. I'll take a $5 order. Had more than one tonight go .4 and then a $6.50 .6 back-to-back today. Next order was $7.50 ($8 really) for 1.1 miles. All done in less than 35 minutes. So $19.50 made in under 35 minutes and driving only 2.6 miles including going back to the restaurants.
We actually do this all the time. We drive into a zone outside of where we live because the orders are typically better there. Towards the end of the night when things are slowing down we will try o to accept orders that take us closer to home and then switch zones for a bit.
I live in a small city as well. The familiarity helps a lot too . Like na not going there ...takes forever..not worth it . Small towns seems to flow easier for me I guess, thus far.
I remember one time (maybe twice). I gotten a request from another zone next to mine because my area was too slow. I went there and made my delivery. Then I just kept getting request in that area. Which was fine and works for me.
my brother door dashes too and I just text him and have him send me a picture of the map sometimes cause he doesnt dash as much lol. I wish DD let us see the map as we dash
Here's the thing and I call every night to complain about this and I will as long as I work for this company. You should not pick up from a restaurant in your Zone and have to deliver outside of your Zone. It is perfectly fine to have to pick up from a restaurant out of your Zone and bring it back into your Zone. I've been screwed out of many bonuses because of being taken half ways into another Zone because I couldn't see the map location very good when I accepted. It makes absolutely no sense to run the route like this. When you drop off your food it should be in your zone so you can continue dashing in your Zone. Otherwise it completely ruins the efficiency rate on everybody's end.
Can confirm after using this today that it’s a solid strategy. Accepted a order in my market I knew would pull me into another one so I planned on doing it. After switching markets, I made 36 dollars in a hour in 5 deliveries with only driving 10 miles 💯💯
Great suggestion! I just did this yesterday. A delivery took me from Market A to Market B. However, I didn't end my dash in Market A to begin my shift in Market B. I still picked up Peak Pay bonuses in both marketplaces. As a matter I fact, I later went back from Market B to Market A during the same Dash and picked up Peak Pay in both marketplaces.
I was in my area that had a $2 peak pay. Got pulled into an area that had a $4 peak pay and got 2 stacked orders and got screwed because DD paid me the $2 per order instead of the $4
You're correct. One the tricks is to learn not to get pulled out of zone unless it's just outside of it. It's usually pretty easy to tell. As you said, it's all about picking the right orders and declining the rest.
I've wound up in a different city before and started getting orders from the new city. But I've also ended up in said new city and waited a couple hours with no orders. I thought it was dead but ended my shift and it said "very busy." Started shift back up and got nonstop orders for hours on end. This is one of the reason DD drives me nuts. T All the money they make and they've obviously hired the stupidest programmers out there. As well as having the hands down worst customer service agents on the planet.
You hit that right on the head....so so right about this. It's so frustrating to see that it's suppose to be so busy and not get 1 order in the so called busy city.
There should be a way that the app knows it sent you to another area.. And give you orders from that new area. Why would I drive an order 8 miles and then HAVE to drive back 8 miles to get more orders..
@@astrickland897 yeah I like jax arlington alot I go to the beach in the morning and drive to cheesecake factory around 1130 am there's a few places in that mall that have expensive food for $10-$15 payouts..made $100 over 5-6 hours a few times in that zone..I live in louisiana..I work that zone 11-2pm and 430-930 sometimes 1030(I go shopping at Burlington or ross dress for less 2-4 or get food at chipotle
Yeah ... I think a better plan is just to decline the orders that pull you out of position, especially during the busiest times. Like others have said some markets are less dense and are one big blob and not so segmented like denser more urban areas. Like in my case switching zones won't really work, but I will some times take an offer that has lower pay if it takes me into an area that I think will be busier ... it's like getting paid to drive over when I was thinking about driving over with out pay any way.
@@YourDriverMike Yeah, I have an hybrid Lexus CT200h, so I don’t mind driving. It works out for me and I make the best of it by running errands. I earn no less than $20/hr with total Active time and $25/hr with Dash time.
What I hate about my city is that every thing pick up order is in town then every house that I deliver is outside like 4-5 miles then I have to drive back in town to get orders
1400$ for a Referal in Cali? Holy crap bro.. We get 200 in Ohio. Thats crazy dude. Door dash in my area has Orders that go to a section of town that doesnt support door dash. and its a 15 minute drive there. So I avoid orders like those like the Plague. Great tips Mike!
$1400 in Detroit as well. It varies, but lowest I've seen since July was $500. Lots of Grubhub, Postmates, & UberEats competition here too so that's probably why. Besides just being flat out busy urban/suburban area.
Location spoofing seems to work for me. With the new iOS 14, I like to keep my “precise location” toggled off. I experimented with Timestamp Camera, which you can use to display your GPS coordinates. If you go into settings and set precise location permissions toggled ON, the GPS margin of error is just a few meters. When precise location is off, this margin of error is like 3,500 meters!! (5 miles). If you look at the map on dasher, your locations shows up as a blue dot when on. When precision is off, your location is represented by a large circle that swallows a small city. I’m wondering if this blur of a location gives you more orders (over a larger area) than if it’s a tiny point.
IDK seems it could have the opposite affect, actually. If DD doesn’t know exactly where you’re at it might not know you’re close enough to a restaurant to send you the order. Also, wouldn’t that mess up your GPS map when taking you to the customers address? 🤔
Ill have to try the shift audible..sometimes DD sends me back home about 20 min or so my ended shift. I could log back into that market place for maybe 2 more that night. Im wondering if DD is even worth it anymore? Today, my shift was 6.75 :( Maybe, I need a new zone 🤔
I just select the area with the highest peak pay and dash along the way avoiding the peakpay area. I get the peak pay of the area I selected to dash in.
Then I feel like I just keep rejecting orders and continue to only get terrible offers because I’m in the 59% approval range. I’ve even spent a whole day doing every dash offered. I’m in Columbus Ohio so it’s not like it’s not a busy town! But maybe I should just be patient and keep hitting no thank you
You're doing good. I'm currently fluctuating between 15% to 20% for the acceptance rate. I average 10 deliveries per dinner rush...I mean out of 58, 60 orders I have come my way. I decline 90% of offers as they are unfeasible. Customers in my marketplace (small town) aren't generous so it is darn difficult to get tips higher than $5. Sometimes all I look forward to is large size orders as the larger it is the higher it is the likelihood of getting greater tips. And I love it whenever I get orders from high-end restaurants 😌 odds are you'll hit the jackpot hahahahaha
I'm from NYC and it was clutch the first two weeks. Now it's outright lying to me saying the area I'm in is never busy. It's to the point where the system texts me saying my area is "very busy" but isn't busy when I open the app
Hey mike! Have you done any research if you get more orders on DoorDash when you schedule a week ahead instead of doing “dash now” everyday? I was wondering if you could possibly make a video addressing this question. Thank you and keep up the great work!
I have noticed (in a smaller market) that I get more orders by taking one hour at a time (obviously only as a Top Dasher) than I do when I block off several... don't ask why but it's been working better for months now
I was asked to record my screen this past weekend during waiting. DD wanted to hear my thoughts ? Much of my commenting was giving us visibility into the details and data.
This is silly, I'm most likely sticking with UberEats - where your car is is where the orders come in. DoorDash has weird zones, to the point where my house is 2 blocks outside the "zone" so I can't even sit at home during very slow times.
My husband has been Dashing in Greenville, SC for a couple of weeks. I usually ride along. There are 16 restaurants in a shopping center 1 mile from our house. A lot of these do use Doordash. We try to think about times people eat. A lot of orders take us out of the zone and in the middle of nowhere. We got a McDonald's order for 3 dollars and we delivered it. Long story, short we made only $8.00 in a two hour shift and we don't know what we are doing wrong. From November 9 through the 12 we made $122.22 he seems to start at the right time, but drives around between lunch and dinner instead of going home. We are trying to support ourselves. Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
try using uber eats as well youll have more to choose from and you get a better sense of your market, order flow and being patient when it comes to accepting orders has been a game changer. For my area 11:30am - 2pm 5-9pm can do 150 a day on avg def possible to hit 200 a day. Order flow is key and min $7+ an order. Late but hope it helps!
Just want to let you know, you can actually see the bonuses when you’re on a Dash. Go to the top left button > Back to Home > Promos. You won’t be able to see it on the map, but you can see the list of market places with bonuses.

What does it mean when a new town is available to dash but there are no orders coming in. Where i live there has been a few surrounding towns that says there is Doordash but there's no one doing delivery services. Does that mean that the town CAN participate or what? Its odd how a town shows up already on the app but nothing going on with restraunts.
So my area hardly ever offers peak pay, and DD combines market a+b (20 miles apart). I had to learn the hard way not to take market B orders, but it is a crapshoot, as there is no way to know if it is better to go to “market B”
Interesting, somewhat like Pittsburgh as most of central Pittsburgh is labeled "downtown" but there are a lot of different pockets that encompass that one market segment.
I learned to do this strategy on my own on a shift when I went to Market B because my market (A) was highest peak pay and sometimes it's hard to get an order from oversaturation. After I accepted an order in Market B that brought be back to Market A at 11:53am, I looked at schedules for Market A and next available was for 12 so I ended my dash and scheduled Market A for 12pm (and since you can start dashing 15 minutes before your scheduled time) I started dash which got me an order that took me to Market C at 12:43pm and I did the same thing...looked to make sure I could schedule for this Market at 1pm which I did. Since peak pay ends at 1pm and I wanted to head home, I declined a few orders that brought me farther away from home (I think because my Market A was the highest peak pay, everyone is in that market so Market C had a lot of orders available) and I finally accepted one that went towards that direction so I didn't have to drive dead miles back home.
Or if you get pulled into zone b you could always multiapp and one of the other apps can give something going back to where you were. It’s happened quite a few times for me. Knowing how to chain routes with multiple apps can help solve this quagmire.
As a TopDasher I do use this tactic and it works out most of the time. I keep dashing in zone B until I get a dash that takes me back to or close to my preferred home zone A. I finally got the guts to decline the far, out of my zone, low pay dashes. On that day my earnings increased, I drove less miles and ended up getting better gas mileage too! Win, win, win!!! In my area there are just 2 or 3 dashes a day that are like this. 3 days of doing it, my acceptance rate went from 100% to 94%. Still considered high and good enough to maintain my " topdasher"👍👍👍
You don't have to but you will the opportunity for more orders closer to a Hotspot, I have also found that the closer I can get to that location, the better.
Where I'm from I never see peak pay. I dash 4 to 6 days a week and have only ever seen a peak pay twice before, both $1, and it's never been in my market.
Dude! I have been pausing my dash and then I’m pausing it right after, and it seems to always give me an order right when I hit resume dash. It’s like a refresh button sometimes.
$3 peak pay 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 In my area the only time $3 peak pays are offered is if there is an active tornado warning or in the midst of a winterstorm . . . Even then probably just $2 peak pay . . .
Hey Mike! My market covers almost an entire county and this county isn't small. Getting from one side to the other can take as much as 35 minutes...on a good day. Any suggestions as to how to get DoorDash to maybe split this market place into at least 2?
@@Hoktoooey They shut down the nearest IHOP to me and I don't have enough orders from Panera to make a difference. I try to stay within a 10 mile radius of my house...I just focus on one city and leave the rest. It's not easy here in SC when they have it like this. I do stay near Chick Fil A, where a good many orders come in. I can sit there and be within 30+ restaraunts within a 3 mile radius.
I'm a new dasher & I do this alot. I have to. I live very close to the state line of Massachusetts & New Hampshire. I frequently get deliveries that cross the state line, but once I cross that line I get no orders, even in a hot spot on a Sat night. So I will drive to the nearest hot spot and restart a new dash, or I just get the heck out of NH. It's not an easy place to dash, especially if it's dark & rainy.
Top Dashers can go online even when their current zone is gray and they get orders even when they are outside of their current zone. The people who get top dasher are the ones who accept literally every order that comes their way, even those $3 orders that are 10 miles away. I say f being a top dasher. It’s not worth the trouble and the miles on your car.

Good car!
Light went on! THANKS!
Thanks for watching Cassandra 🙌🏼
What does it mean when a new town is available to dash but there are no orders coming in. Where i live there has been a few surrounding towns that says there is Doordash but there's no one doing delivery services. Does that mean that the town CAN participate or what? Its odd how a town shows up already on the app but nothing going on with restraunts.
Are you able to do this because of Top Dasher? Markets in the Kansas City area are not always red to be able to jump around like this...just curious.
Love your channel!!!
Top dasher would be able to switch if the zone was gray
Sorry, I didn’t watch the complete video before asking this. You totally addressed this...thanks!
I always go to the hotspot and sit there and nothing ever happens.
So my area hardly ever offers peak pay, and DD combines market a+b (20 miles apart). I had to learn the hard way not to take market B orders, but it is a crapshoot, as there is no way to know if it is better to go to “market B”
Interesting, somewhat like Pittsburgh as most of central Pittsburgh is labeled "downtown" but there are a lot of different pockets that encompass that one market segment.
I learned to do this strategy on my own on a shift when I went to Market B because my market (A) was highest peak pay and sometimes it's hard to get an order from oversaturation. After I accepted an order in Market B that brought be back to Market A at 11:53am, I looked at schedules for Market A and next available was for 12 so I ended my dash and scheduled Market A for 12pm (and since you can start dashing 15 minutes before your scheduled time) I started dash which got me an order that took me to Market C at 12:43pm and I did the same thing...looked to make sure I could schedule for this Market at 1pm which I did. Since peak pay ends at 1pm and I wanted to head home, I declined a few orders that brought me farther away from home (I think because my Market A was the highest peak pay, everyone is in that market so Market C had a lot of orders available) and I finally accepted one that went towards that direction so I didn't have to drive dead miles back home.
Nice job smartly bouncing between segments to reduce miles Coco 👊🏻
Thank you for your RUclips video I find you very informative and knowledgeable...
Or if you get pulled into zone b you could always multiapp and one of the other apps can give something going back to where you were. It’s happened quite a few times for me. Knowing how to chain routes with multiple apps can help solve this quagmire.
Absolutely, thanks for watching Tony!
Iv been online for 4 and a half hours have haven't gotten a single order with a tip. Also it's Friday night and there's no peak pay.
This week in San Diego you guys have the $100 challenge. I thought about going down there just to do it for 2 days.
2 days for 60 deliveries？
@@jiahaoxiao8861 yeah that's pushing it lol. I'd need 3 days. 20 deliverys a day.
Glad im a top dasher so i can just flop around when i am pulled to different markets i do it all the time
Yep, me too! This is one of the reasons I like being a TopDasher and strive to keep it.
@@dennismadigan2023 that's right
I was top dasher for a few weeks they kept sending me so many $3-4 orders 10+ miles acceptance rate dropped to 60%
@@michaelsuzio4364 decline everytime
@@TMKJG24 But don’t you have to have a high acceptance rate to be a top dasher tho? That’s what I always thought
What are the benefits for Top Dasher again?
I keep asking and no one helps...how do I end my dash for the night?
As a TopDasher I do use this tactic and it works out most of the time. I keep dashing in zone B until I get a dash that takes me back to or close to my preferred home zone A.
I finally got the guts to decline the far, out of my zone, low pay dashes. On that day my earnings increased, I drove less miles and ended up getting better gas mileage too! Win, win, win!!! In my area there are just 2 or 3 dashes a day that are like this. 3 days of doing it, my acceptance rate went from 100% to 94%. Still considered high and good enough to maintain my " topdasher"👍👍👍
Do you have to drive to a "hot spot" to get orders? Or does it go off of just being in the city?
You don't have to but you will the opportunity for more orders closer to a Hotspot, I have also found that the closer I can get to that location, the better.
If you leave zone A and go into zone B to deliver doesn't DD see where you are and can give you a order close?
Hi Chris, sometimes but not always. I would say more often they'll continue to show you hotspots in your scheduled marketplace.
Sadly doesn't work when each city is about 50 miles away =[
Is they any you tubers that do this in rual areas?
Where I'm from I never see peak pay. I dash 4 to 6 days a week and have only ever seen a peak pay twice before, both $1, and it's never been in my market.
What market? Is UE just as low with pay incentives?
@@YourDriverMike sorry I don't know why I said market, I just meant my district/city. And Uber Eats has no flow in my area either.
Doesn't apply to those of us that don't have multiple markets or zones..
Dude! I have been pausing my dash and then I’m pausing it right after, and it seems to always give me an order right when I hit resume dash. It’s like a refresh button sometimes.
Another good strategy ✌🏻
It may be similar to turning-off the app & restarting it, in that it refreshes your position on the app.
$3 peak pay 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
In my area the only time $3 peak pays are offered is if there is an active tornado warning or in the midst of a winterstorm . . . Even then probably just $2 peak pay . . .
I got put on another market place and still got a McDonald's order in the new one. Had to pause my dash to get back to my one.
I’ve had to deny 7$ or more orders just because it’ll take me to San Ysidro while I’m dashing National city:/
Shift audible requires top dasher credentials to be fully effective.
Is a 92% satisfaction rating good?
Hey Mike! My market covers almost an entire county and this county isn't small. Getting from one side to the other can take as much as 35 minutes...on a good day. Any suggestions as to how to get DoorDash to maybe split this market place into at least 2?
Too much!! Only do three to 5 miles at the MOST!! Stay near IHOP or Panera’s
@@Hoktoooey They shut down the nearest IHOP to me and I don't have enough orders from Panera to make a difference. I try to stay within a 10 mile radius of my house...I just focus on one city and leave the rest. It's not easy here in SC when they have it like this. I do stay near Chick Fil A, where a good many orders come in. I can sit there and be within 30+ restaraunts within a 3 mile radius.
I'm a new dasher & I do this alot. I have to. I live very close to the state line of Massachusetts & New Hampshire. I frequently get deliveries that cross the state line, but once I cross that line I get no orders, even in a hot spot on a Sat night. So I will drive to the nearest hot spot and restart a new dash, or I just get the heck out of NH. It's not an easy place to dash, especially if it's dark & rainy.
They need to make it see able during your shift
I need to ask you multiple questions, do you have an email??!
Peace ✌️
Love 💟
Positive Vibes 👊💫
Choosing a good area! ! 🤍
A good phone! (iPhone are smart iPhones because of siri) ✨
I like flashcards. Example! ! ✝️
I’m so confused omg!
Hi everyone
I totally get the concept, but why come up with a nonsensical name for it?
Because, "go offline when outside of your scheduled zone and go online in your new zone" just doesn't roll off the tongue lol
@@YourDriverMike Maybe call it Zone Hopping?
This is smart but my city always has a better peak pay lol
Advance tips.
🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Good morning
This is weird I intuitively did this And do this
doordash has been so slow this whole week
Peak pay is kinda a thing of the past.
8 minutes to say if you're closer to one area, dash in that one....
NEVER wear a mask!
This is basic logic.
What do you mean top Dasher? How would you know if you're a top Dasher?
Top Dashers can go online even when their current zone is gray and they get orders even when they are outside of their current zone. The people who get top dasher are the ones who accept literally every order that comes their way, even those $3 orders that are 10 miles away. I say f being a top dasher. It’s not worth the trouble and the miles on your car.
If you get top dasher you will get a notification when you log in.
