I'm a truck driver that travels the U.S and I really appreciate the DoorDash drivers that brings food to me at truck stops & places I deliver freight to. I usually tip in the $15-$20 range because you guys are a blessing when I want a hot meal from my favorite restaurants. I also send a screenshot of Google maps to show my exact location and how to get to me. So for all of you Dashers, thank you & drive safe
I deliver to truck drivers a decent amount of times in my market. And I love it. Cuz I got 2 dads who drive trucks and I would never turn downs. Driver
Best order I've ever gotten dashing was to a local Chinese restaurant for 2 orders for $22.25 for 4.2 miles and the houses were literally 3 houses away from each other. Took me about 15-20 minutes total.
Yeah I can’t do it. Some of the orders DoorDash wants you to take, you’re basically paying in gas $$ and wear & tear on your vehicle to deliver these orders. No thank you.
True, they terminated me for not accepting enough orders and being late, many orders I received were expected to be delivered ten minutes before I accepted them, and a lot of them were not with my time, fuck them, Uber eats all day
So i eas in an accident called support they didnt wven ask if i was okay btw i called to let them know the customer wouldnt gwt his order i was 4 blocks away
@@chriszanetti2619 Denying them is not causing you to get bad orders, just a coincidence, I run a 10% acceptance rate all the time and I get great orders and make good money.

I’ve done 367 deliveries between both DD and UE. I’ve ONLY received 5 star ratings on door dash (minus 1 excluded rating) and I’ve ONLY received thumbs ups on UE (except for one thumbs down from a merchant and I have no idea who or why lol)
I've been doing this on my own for the past week and a half. The more orders I accept the more orders they send me. Been getting better orders and making more money. 3 of those days over 200. Was only able to work 3 hours yesterday, declined only one order and made 98. Does it work? I'd say so
Door dash needs ro be sued- they expect drivers to drive like a bat outta hell and risk getting speeding tickets. They give you like 3 mins to get to the place and to the customer.

4:02 that's a running joke between me and my wife... people often use covid as an excuse to not do what they want to do. I tell her I can't do the dishes because, ya know, Covid...
The Panda Express by me is doing exactly that. I had black listed Panda for a while bc they are always 15-20 minutes late. Every since they closed the dining room to customers, I never wait more than 5 minutes.
Been there...I usually decline the long distance...However...I live in a tourist area. There are times it takes me 8 min to drive one mile... Thanks for the tips and breaking it down.
Sunday, I had a Burger King order that I accepted. Normally, the lobby is open. Not this time. The drive thru line was 20 cars deep. I unassigned the order. Then my next 3 were for the same BK. Declined them all, then paused the Dash. Turned on UE and got a $20 order from TGI Friday's (across the parking lot from BK) .
My best order to date was a $24 order for two Walmart pick ups, I was already sitting in the parking lot of Walmart, all I did was move over to the pick up spot, the employees brought everything to me and loaded my car, and both deliveries were within 4 miles. The easiest thing I’ve ever done for $24.
If it wasn't for the Walmart in-store pickup where you get a batch order of 5 paying crap I might consider try and top door Dasher again. That's just a big hit to take in one decline. The funny thing is I do actually do some Walmart grocery delivery. But the majority of those batch orders in-store pickup are garbage
You got lucky, extremely lucky, it also could be that you are still on your Top Dasher Status for the rest of the month. They did say they were favoring top dashers. I tried to do that today to see what I could get, however, after declining 9 x $3.00 orders in a row all over 5+ miles, I said screw that. Sorry not worth my time.
@@Moore.Driven I think maybe Wednesday I'm going to screen shot every single order DoorDash sends me for a two hour period so I can showcase how bad it is in my Market with these $3 orders and the mileage DoorDash wants me to drive.
@@feynixgaming2218 Door Dash Dad did a video of after 9 Declines for our area (Michigan) & it was ruthless! I'm not sure if it was the same video, but he also showed having to decline like 100 orders in one shift. I say "like" cause I don't remember the exact numbers, but it was a LOT.
Heres the thing if all these restaurants made sure that our delivery process was smooth and fast then taking some lower orders would be less bad. I hate Wendy's cuz they always wait til I get there to tell I'm there and then they make the food. That's not cool. So most my declines come from not wanting to deal with certain food places over the amount their giving me most times. It's a lot of factoring especially distance too. It's in your gut
Watching this makes me all the more glad I drive for UberEats, still a good chance of lower paying orders but not like this. I easily average $20-$25/hr and I accept 80-95% or whats available. Also, fuck Wendy's (and McDonald's, and Chipotle for that matter)....Most of the restaurants in my city have their lobbies/dining rooms open, but due to massive staffing problem happening, I've arrived to locations that are drive thru only (when I was able to walk in days prior) or closed (in the middle of lunch).
You know if your a top dasher you get great orders all day . I also live here in beautiful utah, I dash & Uber through salt lake pretty often. I rarely get those $2.50 cent order and if I do, I always accept. My acceptance rate is 96% I make about 700-1100$ on DoorDash per week with like 40-50 hours I average about 18-25 an hour.
I just started DoorDash about less than three weeks ago and it seems that when I accept the low order of $2.50 a $3.50 they keep on sending me little orders my average is just $10-$12 per hour which I think is terrible. I’m still trying to figure it out. My rating is a four star ratingwell below the 4.2 minimum.Don’t know what I did wrong stayed within the speed limit put the food in the hot bag. Half of the people never tip. Kind of like a mystery. Today disappointed just $12 in about three hours. Don’t know if my rating had to do with it
Definitely because it was Sunday. I don't think I'd recommend doing this on say, a Tuesday. I've been doing an experiment of my own this month. Disclaimer, my bf mostly supports me. So I basically work for health insurance, phone bill, personal expenses, but I'm not responsible for a mortgage or rent. So I work sporadically. Therefore, if the orders suck, I log out & go home. So my acceptance rate is unusually high, but had still dipped below 60%. When DD put out that nonsense about $35 orders for top Dashers, I thought, I bet I can prove that wrong. So I ran out & bumped my ratings up to like 85% real quick (on a wknd peak, so it was kinda guaranteed not to screw myself) & got back to Top Dasher for June. I didn't see any substantial difference in the orders they sent me. To be fair, I do more lunch than dinner, so the ticket totals are less, but I still got a lot of crap long distance orders. And as a top Dasher, I notice A LOT more of DD sabotaging the acceptance rate by sending orders on pause & after END DASH. It's like extra anxiety inducing manipulation especially for top dashers. Ironically I used the exact same phrasing as in this video, "saving my declines to use on terrible orders". With this mindset, imagine them just randomly using up one of your declines while you're on pause. You know, that screen that reads We will not send you orders while you are paused. 🤔🤦🤷 So, yeah. My Top Dasher experiment ends the month with no orders over $35. And plenty of manipulation along the way. Along with low ball long distance trips. If they want Top Dasher to mean anything, they should consider awarding tip transparency to those that achieve it. Until then, I'm stepping back into the Decline Line.
I've experienced the same shit,with the pause situation,& them sending orders even after I log out,am a top dasher as well, something fishy,not right,the should look out for top dashers,you would think,
@@micah689 I've filed support cases & their responses are infuriating. Sending me newbie shit on how to pause dash, suggesting it's user error. Sending me some link to do an exhaustive tech inquiry into my phone, that's legit one month old. I've been direct & told them it's straight up insulting. That Dashers all over RUclips talk about it & everyone knows it's deliberate. I even used the words CONTRACT VIOLATION because that's what they're doing. Violating the contract. One way accountability. I literally said all that in an email. No matter. All my responses seemed to be from a bot. 🤦 Lol I said that too!

It’s very tricky!! You can get 3-5 Consecutive orders that are 4$ 9 miles 5$ 10 miles 6$ 12miles . It just depends on what day it is , luck and area most of all! Tricky tricky tricky!!!
See in my area it's just not worth it. They throw a lot of orders at me that are low pay high miles and full of tolls. If it was say 5 dollars for 10 miles its already not worth it. Add on each toll is 5 dollars and there are 3 of them I end up paying out of pocket to deliver that person's food.
I'd love to see a follow up content for this video. Maybe do 20 deliveries before your top dasher status disappears. And then a follow up on when you loose your Top Dasher status. Anyways I might just try this method out tomorrow. Great content! 🙏
Blake the absolute best thing you could do is get a quote on your Mercedes trade in and switch to a new Camry/Corolla or Civic. Once you hit 120k miles on a Mercedes the 2k repair bills start coming frequently...
I’m ok haha, I love my car and can well afford the bills once my car hits that mileage don’t worry. I know it’s not the smartest money decision but I love driving it and it’s not breaking the bank so🤷♂️
You could only do that on certain days unless, you dash in an area with super high demand. Where I dash, this is simply not an option. I would have an acceptance rate of less than fifty per cent, if I stuck fast to at least $1/Mile.
Arby’s did me like that the other day. I went in to use the bathroom but when I came out and asked for the order, they started locking the door and told me that I had to go through the drive through.
KFC did this to me the other day while it pouring rain outside. The lobby doors were open yet they wanted me to go through drive thru. I was already inside tho so what’s the problem? They gave me the order all rude lol
When they pull that shit I just pull up to the speaker and announce that I’m picking up “Doordash for xxxxx”. Then once the line moves and the car behind me reaches the speaker, I put my car in gear and just drive off, and subsequently unassign the order after a few minutes go by. I want to ensure I get revenge by ensuring they have to make the order twice, thus hurting their bottom line.
I won't accept a no tip order if it goes to the same restaurant I'm picking it up from. If you can afford to order from doordash you can afford to tip or your ass can starve but unfortunately some idiots will take it
Doordash pay is garbage, however there are a few orders worth taking. There is nothing special about increasing your acceptance. Orders will still be flying out randomly and accordingly. My acceptance rate is at 7%, but taking orders that pays $3- $4/mi.
Once I get my 02’ 1.8t Jetta fixed I’m quitting my 14$ an hour job unloading trucks for a furniture store. I’m tired of getting underpaid to get stress fractures and barely make ends meet
I live in eastern oklahoma and dash in northwest arkansas. Average payouts seem to be 5.50 but usually within a couple miles. I average 60 to 80 bucks in 3 hours. Pretty good for a side hustle. Ive gotten a few Walmart orders for 2.50 that want me to deliver 7 miles away, and i always decline those. I get mcdonalds orders for 3.00 that are only like a mile away and will usually accept them, but not if they're further away than that.
That’s a really good day great job!! On a regular day, I honestly would not care if a $3 order at 12 miles put me under 70% acceptance rate or un assigning on that one 😝lol I love the add on surprises! But sometimes they are not really “on the way” and it does shoot me in the foot but still nice!
I’ve been accepting everything since day one. When the market is hot I can easily average $30-$35 an hour sometimes more. On slow days it’s $18-$25 an hour.
@@Moore.Driven I kind of don’t want to say but it’s a small town. The larger cities my average is 20to27 dollars an hour. I’m just like a piranha in a fish tank scooping orders
That's a good idea! Never thought about trying that. However I already can make an educated assumption on which fast food restaurants would do this and which would cuss you out lol.
I DoorDash accept about one delivery out of every 200 deliveries it gives me I haven’t used DoorDash in months they change something to where every delivery only pays between two and four dollars regardless of the mileage
I made $157 in 5 hours today only taking no less than $6 orders with good miles. That’s $31 an hour. Those grocery store orders are my new best friend. Love them. Especially since I’m getting super quick with grocery shopping and most of the time the grocery orders where I live are high paying, low mileage orders. I’m talking 12 and up. Highest one today was for $29. Don’t sleep on the grocery orders if you get them. If you’re quick it’s definitely worth it. I look forward to those now. Literally hanging out by the nearest Safeway to wherever I am at the time. Oh and gas only costed me $17 today. I typically fill up after every shift to be ready to roll for the next day. So about $17-$20 on gas each day. Even if you subtract my 17 from gas I still made $28 an hour which is really good. Most than what a lot of people get at their day job. Which is why I love the hustle.
Are you doing shop orders or just pick up orders? I see Walmart orders all the time but they never have tips and there always stacked. Do customers add tips after the dropoff
@@ahmedahmed1122 I used to get a lot of Walmart orders but as of about 3 months ago I haven’t gotten any and yes for me they would usually tip the next day
Saturdays & Sundays are when respectable people with careers are off, and they want to receive well deserved stay at home pampering by not having to drive. Statistically during the week it a manure storm of entitlement offers from people in seedy and demographically challenged areas, who live off of the social system. It’s a sad reality. But, I’ve been DoorDashing full time for 3 weeks, with 777 orders under my belt. I’ve delivered to drug infested area where yellow crime scene tape “decorates” the landscape like tp paper with high school pranks. I’ve delivered to blue collar neighborhoods, housing projects, and mansions. I’ve noticed certain trends. Demographics, positioning, and timing is the holy trinity, which beckons the DoorDash gods.
What people forget is everything depends on where you live. My avarage deliveries are priced at $6. So if I dont do the small ones I wont even make $100
I have no issue staying above 70%, while declining $3-$5 orders. I think over time you realize when is a good time to dash, versus going out in dead times. I will only dash between 5-1130pm.
@@Moore.Driven at times I have. People just seem more willing to tip for dinner, not as much at lunch. However, dinner orders are also higher value in terms of food ordered
Maybe the algorithm favors people who get on and accept orders... but all of your orders were more than a dollar a mile lol. Its rare for sure. My last three shifts i am rejecting my first 5 orders minimum... plus anytime I do kinda lower my standards. I end up getting sent to scary parts of town that I dont wanna go. During daytime I dont care much where my route takes me but at night if Im not careful I get sent to some scary places and I dont like it...
I had been 55-60% acceptance rate for almost a month but realizing I can get to 100 deliveries this month... I accepted 17 out of 18 today though and my acceptance rate is now at 70% so only five orders away from 100 this month and Top Dasher... Customer rating 4.86 Acceptance rate 70% Completion rate 99%
Shit yesterday was a horrible day for me I was just not getting any good orders worth the other for mileage. Going to try this out 1 day this week need to get my rate up!
I think doordash was watching and that's why they decided to go ahead and give you good orders but of course you know they couldn't be watching because they can't watch a pre-recorded program before it's published. Just a thought.
You can call the restaurant and tell you are with door dash. They will usually bring you the food for the customer or ask you to come inside. Wear a mask though. But I've done almost 40 deliveries and never had to sit through a drive thru
I just finished my first 80 deliveries over the weekend, 90% acceptance, 100% completion, I'm taking plenty of $3 orders and averaging about $16/hr. I also cherry pick, but I look for the rotten cherries with exceptionally low pay per mile, or that take me toward hotspots I don't like. My hourly rate will go up as I get better at doing that, and at 90% acceptance I have a lot of wiggle room for what I consider acceptable.
Kinda funny when you started out and pulled up your map. I dash in your same area. I just found your channel and haven't watched other videos yet, but in my experience, those are definitely Sunday only orders. It's by far my favorite day to dash as most other days around there you're bombarded with $2.50-$5 orders. Also, I've had that same problem with Wendy's. Real crapshoot if that lobby door is gonna be open or not haha
One of my biggest pet peeves is these restaurants that open and close their lobby with no rhyme or reason. Id rather have you just stay closed so i can add it to my blacklist of restaurants
The panda expenses near me has the worst parking lot but i have never received one that is lower that $7 from there so i take them. But I absolutely hate the parking lot and the drive through
I been thinking about doing doordash so I am watching a bunch of videos. your video give good perspective of what to expect if I decide to go ahead and do it
Biggest tip I can give. See what works best for you, learn the areas you do, and PLEASE set your car up for it (large carrier bags and drink holders, not the cardboard ones)
Doordash don't care if you are a top dasher. You can be Top Dasher and sit in the car for over an hour without getting any orders. And when the order comes, it's either $3 or $4 for 4.5 Mile. That is straight decline. I am just surprised watching this video how you get this orders back to back.
you are a brave brave soul. no way in hell would i accept every order. not with the stuff i've been seeing lately. My rating is pretty high but acceptance is not so hot LOL. At the near 5 star rating that I'm at i will get $20.00 order and sometimes $15.00 or they double me up.
I've been looking at the miles and not so much the payout the last few days but still have not decided if that is even a better strategy because a lot of times DD underestimates the actual mileage. And no promos yet for 4th of July weekend and gas just spiked???? Whatever
Someone who knows how to run a company needs to take over Wendy's. I haven't found a Wendy's that is even close to efficient. And they are never busy. Could not imagine if they were actually busy.
you said on prior videos, that we will unsubscribe because you are taking bad orders?. But is good to have people who dash different so that beginners can see results!. So thank you.
I just recently got a Dash giftcard for $25 to spend. I plugged in a basic steak bowl from Chipotle that is 3 miles away from me. After fees, tax and tip... I would still owe $8 after the gift card. No thank you.

I hate Wendy's cuz they always wait til I get there to tell I'm there and then they make the food. That's not cool. So most my declines come from not wanting to deal with certain food places over the amount their giving me most times. It's a lot of factoring especially distance too. It's in your gut
It’s been tested by UDM. The more you stay active the more offers they give you, depending on your market.
Yeah it is interesting to see
Is that even legal to treat contractors differently?
Which vid?
Not necessarily
More orders does not mean you make more money.
My Acceptance Rate is 8%!!! 😂😂😂 All Because I won't let DD Treat Me Like A Slave and use me!!! 😂😂😂
I've never cared about acceptance rating and today I made 100 in 2 1/2 hours
You’re great! I’m a bee dasher. Your tips and videos have been very helpful!
Watching this makes me all the more glad I drive for UberEats, still a good chance of lower paying orders but not like this. I easily average $20-$25/hr and I accept 80-95% or whats available.
Also, fuck Wendy's (and McDonald's, and Chipotle for that matter)....Most of the restaurants in my city have their lobbies/dining rooms open, but due to massive staffing problem happening, I've arrived to locations that are drive thru only (when I was able to walk in days prior) or closed (in the middle of lunch).
That's good
I'm door dashing and right now.. I'm at 150 in 4 hours.. never cared about acceptance ratings.. not once.. my shit will be 2 percent sometimes
You know if your a top dasher you get great orders all day . I also live here in beautiful utah, I dash & Uber through salt lake pretty often. I rarely get those $2.50 cent order and if I do, I always accept. My acceptance rate is 96% I make about 700-1100$ on DoorDash per week with like 40-50 hours I average about 18-25 an hour.
I just started DoorDash about less than three weeks ago and it seems that when I accept the low order of $2.50 a $3.50 they keep on sending me little orders my average is just $10-$12 per hour which I think is terrible. I’m still trying to figure it out. My rating is a four star ratingwell below the 4.2 minimum.Don’t know what I did wrong stayed within the speed limit put the food in the hot bag. Half of the people never tip. Kind of like a mystery. Today disappointed just $12 in about three hours. Don’t know if my rating had to do with it
Your speed limit has NOTHING to do with your rating 😂
Definitely because it was Sunday. I don't think I'd recommend doing this on say, a Tuesday.
I've been doing an experiment of my own this month. Disclaimer, my bf mostly supports me. So I basically work for health insurance, phone bill, personal expenses, but I'm not responsible for a mortgage or rent. So I work sporadically. Therefore, if the orders suck, I log out & go home. So my acceptance rate is unusually high, but had still dipped below 60%. When DD put out that nonsense about $35 orders for top Dashers, I thought, I bet I can prove that wrong. So I ran out & bumped my ratings up to like 85% real quick (on a wknd peak, so it was kinda guaranteed not to screw myself) & got back to Top Dasher for June. I didn't see any substantial difference in the orders they sent me. To be fair, I do more lunch than dinner, so the ticket totals are less, but I still got a lot of crap long distance orders. And as a top Dasher, I notice A LOT more of DD sabotaging the acceptance rate by sending orders on pause & after END DASH. It's like extra anxiety inducing manipulation especially for top dashers. Ironically I used the exact same phrasing as in this video, "saving my declines to use on terrible orders". With this mindset, imagine them just randomly using up one of your declines while you're on pause. You know, that screen that reads We will not send you orders while you are paused. 🤔🤦🤷
So, yeah. My Top Dasher experiment ends the month with no orders over $35. And plenty of manipulation along the way. Along with low ball long distance trips. If they want Top Dasher to mean anything, they should consider awarding tip transparency to those that achieve it. Until then, I'm stepping back into the Decline Line.
I've experienced the same shit,with the pause situation,& them sending orders even after I log out,am a top dasher as well, something fishy,not right,the should look out for top dashers,you would think,
@@micah689 I've filed support cases & their responses are infuriating. Sending me newbie shit on how to pause dash, suggesting it's user error. Sending me some link to do an exhaustive tech inquiry into my phone, that's legit one month old. I've been direct & told them it's straight up insulting. That Dashers all over RUclips talk about it & everyone knows it's deliberate. I even used the words CONTRACT VIOLATION because that's what they're doing. Violating the contract. One way accountability. I literally said all that in an email. No matter. All my responses seemed to be from a bot. 🤦 Lol I said that too! "Please don't bother sending me another patronizing AI automated response full of ego petting & apologies for how frustrating this must be for me. It'll only infuriate me further." Yes. All in the email. 😂
@@safetyfirst3132 yup,it's happen yo me too,it's like there causing issues on too dashers,that's insane,I got an order other day,the address on the app,was different than the customers address, door dash,tried to make it sound like I was lying, also the app,has sent me to an address that didn't exist,telling me I had arrived to the customer ,yea this company is not right seems to me they don't give a shit,I've raised he'll recently too,to the dd support, just getting tired of there lack of effort to correct,there errors..
@@micah689 what's it been? 8 years? 9? And they insist they're not a delivery company but a TECH company. But they operate on emotional manipulation & lies that what they do deliberately is a GLITCH. The TECH company.
As they say, it's not a bug, it's a feature.
It’s very tricky!! You can get 3-5 Consecutive orders that are 4$ 9 miles 5$ 10 miles 6$ 12miles . It just depends on what day it is , luck and area most of all! Tricky tricky tricky!!!
See in my area it's just not worth it. They throw a lot of orders at me that are low pay high miles and full of tolls. If it was say 5 dollars for 10 miles its already not worth it. Add on each toll is 5 dollars and there are 3 of them I end up paying out of pocket to deliver that person's food.
I'd love to see a follow up content for this video.
Maybe do 20 deliveries before your top dasher status disappears.
And then a follow up on when you loose your Top Dasher status.
Anyways I might just try this method out tomorrow. Great content! 🙏
Working on it now! Stay tuned😎
Blake the absolute best thing you could do is get a quote on your Mercedes trade in and switch to a new Camry/Corolla or Civic. Once you hit 120k miles on a Mercedes the 2k repair bills start coming frequently...
I’m ok haha, I love my car and can well afford the bills once my car hits that mileage don’t worry. I know it’s not the smartest money decision but I love driving it and it’s not breaking the bank so🤷♂️
LOL... "getting this Arby's is a blessing... cause without this Arby's coming in, this order would have been CRAP!!!" LOL!! 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
Arby’s is never a blessing in my area.
I started vetting my orders from $1 a mile to $2 a mile huge difference
Are you able to keep up that rate all day? I use about 1 dollar per mile as my minimum.
You could only do that on certain days unless, you dash in an area with super high demand. Where I dash, this is simply not an option. I would have an acceptance rate of less than fifty per cent, if I stuck fast to at least $1/Mile.
I live in Washington DC and I’m always busy. Usually do 2.25 - 3.50 a mile.
Arby’s did me like that the other day. I went in to use the bathroom but when I came out and asked for the order, they started locking the door and told me that I had to go through the drive through.
Wtf, that’s so messed up
Would have ditched that oder in the you could do that
KFC did this to me the other day while it pouring rain outside. The lobby doors were open yet they wanted me to go through drive thru. I was already inside tho so what’s the problem? They gave me the order all rude lol
When they pull that shit I just pull up to the speaker and announce that I’m picking up “Doordash for xxxxx”. Then once the line moves and the car behind me reaches the speaker, I put my car in gear and just drive off, and subsequently unassign the order after a few minutes go by. I want to ensure I get revenge by ensuring they have to make the order twice, thus hurting their bottom line.
3:39 A lot of fast food restaurants are having trouble hiring so they close the lobby when the don't have enough staff.
Yeah it’s annoying
They also lock doors when they don't want to deal with walk-ins--guised with false reasoning.
God, I haven't had a night like this in weeks. 7 out of 10 orders for me are $3-$4 with no tip. 5 out of 10 are 10 miles or more.
That’s normally how it is for me haha
Why in heaven' name do you accept those kind of orders. That's why DD keep on giving those order,as there's always someone who will take them.
I won't accept a no tip order if it goes to the same restaurant I'm picking it up from. If you can afford to order from doordash you can afford to tip or your ass can starve but unfortunately some idiots will take it
@@DukeJimbob u don't know that ots about the convience. Before we had apps people did delivery for the restaurant. It's not the customer fault it dd
Loving the everyday uploads!!
Thanks!
Me too! Definitely nice to see the consistent videos, essentially consistent info...very helpful and good to see what other Dashers are going through!
Confucius say if you accept $3 dollar or $4 dollar delivery you like it without Vaseline hahaha
Great content. I haven't seen anyone try this.
Thanks!
Carmise has
I seen a girl do it she said never again lol but she did to show us
DoorDash Dad mentioned you a little while ago and I just seen this video in my recommended. Just subbed! :) Good stuff bud.
Thanks! Appreciate it🙏
I don’t know if everyone goes through this but Walmart pickup orders suck!!
I don't deny ANY orders. I just dash, and take them all!! 😀😄🤑
You can make way more w out doing thar
A lot of the places are closing the lobby when they are "short staffed" is what I have heard several times. Thanks for doing this video. Stay safe!
Doordash pay is garbage, however there are a few orders worth taking. There is nothing special about increasing your acceptance. Orders will still be flying out randomly and accordingly. My acceptance rate is at 7%, but taking orders that pays $3- $4/mi.
Nice!
I'm not a feet person at all but that's all I noticed during the deliveries. Toes. Lol . Anyways new sub . Keep ya feet away from my food lol
Taking the time to help me was a very nice thing for you to do. I know that you are a person who sacrifices for others without thinking.
#Neiltools
Damn my dude, you actually set that Wendy's down without folding the bags closed!? **SHIVERS** Lol!!
Once I get my 02’ 1.8t Jetta fixed I’m quitting my 14$ an hour job unloading trucks for a furniture store. I’m tired of getting underpaid to get stress fractures and barely make ends meet
Yeah fr! Quit and do gig work!
Don’t quit
Do it part time
See how you like it
Then decide
It’s not as good as you think
Mostly depends on your area
14/hr working
Vs 20/hr wrecking your car
An 02 on deliveries?
You might want to rethink this
@@les121476 I have, clutch went out the first day doing deliveries😅
Some nights are good, so nights not so much. Price we pay for freedom to work on our own terms!
I live in eastern oklahoma and dash in northwest arkansas. Average payouts seem to be 5.50 but usually within a couple miles. I average 60 to 80 bucks in 3 hours. Pretty good for a side hustle.
Ive gotten a few Walmart orders for 2.50 that want me to deliver 7 miles away, and i always decline those. I get mcdonalds orders for 3.00 that are only like a mile away and will usually accept them, but not if they're further away than that.
Liked comment and sub!
Keep up the awesome work!
That’s a really good day great job!! On a regular day, I honestly would not care if a $3 order at 12 miles put me under 70% acceptance rate or un assigning on that one 😝lol I love the add on surprises! But sometimes they are not really “on the way” and it does shoot me in the foot but still nice!
This was 2 years ago. 2023, went to my local Wendy's and what do you know, the lobby is closed on a Monday afternoon.
I’ve been accepting everything since day one. When the market is hot I can easily average $30-$35 an hour sometimes more. On slow days it’s $18-$25 an hour.
Wow nice! What market are you in?
@@Moore.Driven I kind of don’t want to say but it’s a small town. The larger cities my average is 20to27 dollars an hour. I’m just like a piranha in a fish tank scooping orders
@@drandystream891 nice! Keep it up!
What's your $/mile?
@@hey_buddy_waz_up 2-4$/mile on average,
When a lobby is closed I call the restaurant and ask if I can pick up at the door. They meet me at the door. No drive-thru.
They don't always come to the door
That's a good idea! Never thought about trying that. However I already can make an educated assumption on which fast food restaurants would do this and which would cuss you out lol.
@@Bnathanb1982 yeah I hate McDonalds lol
I tried to do that with Jack in the box and they said no. Idiots
Yeah. Hasn’t worked for me
I DoorDash accept about one delivery out of every 200 deliveries it gives me I haven’t used DoorDash in months they change something to where every delivery only pays between two and four dollars regardless of the mileage
My acceptance rate is usually between 7 and 20%
I made $157 in 5 hours today only taking no less than $6 orders with good miles. That’s $31 an hour. Those grocery store orders are my new best friend. Love them. Especially since I’m getting super quick with grocery shopping and most of the time the grocery orders where I live are high paying, low mileage orders. I’m talking 12 and up. Highest one today was for $29.
Don’t sleep on the grocery orders if you get them. If you’re quick it’s definitely worth it. I look forward to those now. Literally hanging out by the nearest Safeway to wherever I am at the time.
Oh and gas only costed me $17 today. I typically fill up after every shift to be ready to roll for the next day. So about $17-$20 on gas each day.
Even if you subtract my 17 from gas I still made $28 an hour which is really good. Most than what a lot of people get at their day job. Which is why I love the hustle.
Dang nice man! Keep it up!
Are you doing shop orders or just pick up orders? I see Walmart orders all the time but they never have tips and there always stacked. Do customers add tips after the dropoff
@@ahmedahmed1122 I used to get a lot of Walmart orders but as of about 3 months ago I haven’t gotten any and yes for me they would usually tip the next day
I hate grocery orders with a passion in my area, They are all ridiculous 4-5 dollar offers for 10+ miles. I am not going to take any of them.
Saturdays & Sundays are when respectable people with careers are off, and they want to receive well deserved stay at home pampering by not having to drive. Statistically during the week it a manure storm of entitlement offers from people in seedy and demographically challenged areas, who live off of the social system. It’s a sad reality. But, I’ve been DoorDashing full time for 3 weeks, with 777 orders under my belt. I’ve delivered to drug infested area where yellow crime scene tape “decorates” the landscape like tp paper with high school pranks. I’ve delivered to blue collar neighborhoods, housing projects, and mansions. I’ve noticed certain trends. Demographics, positioning, and timing is the holy trinity, which beckons the DoorDash gods.
What people forget is everything depends on where you live. My avarage deliveries are priced at $6. So if I dont do the small ones I wont even make $100
Absolutely..all about location!!!
There are days when I decline like 10 no tip orders before I get anything decent. This would probably never work for me unless I got really lucky.
@@jsmit5635 right ..everyone has different earning strategies. I don't think there's any particular "right way" to dash
I have no issue staying above 70%, while declining $3-$5 orders. I think over time you realize when is a good time to dash, versus going out in dead times. I will only dash between 5-1130pm.
Nice! Just curious, Have you tried the lunch shift at all?
@@Moore.Driven at times I have. People just seem more willing to tip for dinner, not as much at lunch. However, dinner orders are also higher value in terms of food ordered
Maybe the algorithm favors people who get on and accept orders... but all of your orders were more than a dollar a mile lol. Its rare for sure. My last three shifts i am rejecting my first 5 orders minimum... plus anytime I do kinda lower my standards. I end up getting sent to scary parts of town that I dont wanna go. During daytime I dont care much where my route takes me but at night if Im not careful I get sent to some scary places and I dont like it...
I had been 55-60% acceptance rate for almost a month but realizing I can get to 100 deliveries this month... I accepted 17 out of 18 today though and my acceptance rate is now at 70% so only five orders away from 100 this month and Top Dasher...
Customer rating 4.86
Acceptance rate 70%
Completion rate 99%
Shit yesterday was a horrible day for me I was just not getting any good orders worth the other for mileage. Going to try this out 1 day this week need to get my rate up!
Do it!
I think doordash was watching and that's why they decided to go ahead and give you good orders but of course you know they couldn't be watching because they can't watch a pre-recorded program before it's published. Just a thought.
This was a good video to watch ...thanks for the consistent content 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
You’re welcome!
There is one Wendy's in my town. It's only ok to take between 11am and 7pm
Great video man!!! Super pumped to see what’s next!!!!
Sadly I tested that today Mileiq logged 46 miles from home back to home, during lunch in Littleton Colorado and my gross proceeds were $53.75
My acceptance rate is 97%, but I am a dasher, I only have 127 deliveries. But most my order is good, I have no complaints
I mean I am new dasher
You can call the restaurant and tell you are with door dash. They will usually bring you the food for the customer or ask you to come inside. Wear a mask though. But I've done almost 40 deliveries and never had to sit through a drive thru
Being a pizza man makes this look easy lol we have to deliver regardless the miles 😂
Get a phone mount that swivels to different positions for recording and for following GPS.
I just finished my first 80 deliveries over the weekend, 90% acceptance, 100% completion, I'm taking plenty of $3 orders and averaging about $16/hr. I also cherry pick, but I look for the rotten cherries with exceptionally low pay per mile, or that take me toward hotspots I don't like. My hourly rate will go up as I get better at doing that, and at 90% acceptance I have a lot of wiggle room for what I consider acceptable.
Nice!
@@Moore.Driven I turned down any $3 order over 3 miles today, and pay went way up
I tried this and wound up 2 hours away from home
Oh gosh that’s terrible
😳lol
Bro this video looks crystal clear 👍
Thanks haha!
you see how you have to think and accept when trying to reach 70 percent but hey thanks while you were doing that i did the 8 dollar one u missed
Kinda funny when you started out and pulled up your map. I dash in your same area. I just found your channel and haven't watched other videos yet, but in my experience, those are definitely Sunday only orders. It's by far my favorite day to dash as most other days around there you're bombarded with $2.50-$5 orders. Also, I've had that same problem with Wendy's. Real crapshoot if that lobby door is gonna be open or not haha
One of my biggest pet peeves is these restaurants that open and close their lobby with no rhyme or reason. Id rather have you just stay closed so i can add it to my blacklist of restaurants
Seriously tho
I blacklist every restaurant that pulls this shit. I never go to Wendy's or Taco Bell due to this fact.
I have about 80 % rate but that is only because I don’t see the $5 8 mile orders or the $3.25 Applebee’s order i got the other day very often
The panda expenses near me has the worst parking lot but i have never received one that is lower that $7 from there so i take them. But I absolutely hate the parking lot and the drive through
I been thinking about doing doordash so I am watching a bunch of videos. your video give good perspective of what to expect if I decide to go ahead and do it
Biggest tip I can give. See what works best for you, learn the areas you do, and PLEASE set your car up for it (large carrier bags and drink holders, not the cardboard ones)
Could you please tell me what you use to track your mileage. I would appreciate it. Thank you very much in advance! 😊
You can use the stride app. It’s free
Doordash don't care if you are a top dasher. You can be Top Dasher and sit in the car for over an hour without getting any orders. And when the order comes, it's either $3 or $4 for 4.5 Mile. That is straight decline. I am just surprised watching this video how you get this orders back to back.
I guess it’s just my area🤷♂️
Wow where u live the fast food spots don't seal the bags with stickers across the top of the back??? That's crazy
Stay in the green, you'll make more. Crappy orders are common in the yellow.
My last three days including today have been spot on like that for my shifts
Interesting 🤔 thanks for the info!
Love the videos man and for a great cause!!!
you are a brave brave soul. no way in hell would i accept every order. not with the stuff i've been seeing lately. My rating is pretty high but acceptance is not so hot LOL. At the near 5 star rating that I'm at i will get $20.00 order and sometimes $15.00 or they double me up.
Mind telling me what dash cam you have? I love the quality of your camera. I'm also looking for a good body cam if you wear one of those too.
New to your channel and new to door dash. Thanks for advice!
I've been looking at the miles and not so much the payout the last few days but still have not decided if that is even a better strategy because a lot of times DD underestimates the actual mileage. And no promos yet for 4th of July weekend and gas just spiked???? Whatever
Someone who knows how to run a company needs to take over Wendy's. I haven't found a Wendy's that is even close to efficient. And they are never busy. Could not imagine if they were actually busy.
you said on prior videos, that we will unsubscribe because you are taking bad orders?.
But is good to have people who dash different so that beginners can see results!.
So thank you.
The sticker is the window of your car what is the warning?
I just recently got a Dash giftcard for $25 to spend. I plugged in a basic steak bowl from Chipotle that is 3 miles away from me. After fees, tax and tip... I would still owe $8 after the gift card. No thank you.
A lot of the lobbies are closed due to staff shortage.
Lol your very first order was significantly better than my last 19. All 19 over 6.5 miles and the highest pay was $4.75 which was 14 miles.
Dang that is AWFUL, like I said idk why the doordash gods were in my favor haha
Since May 1st and the 15% commission cut for restaurants non TIPPERS have increased from 15% to as high as 50% pf the orders per SHIFT making impossible to hit ecen close to 70% acceltance rate in this market. .
Sometimes I feel like DD helps me twith traffic lights.... lol
Blake the thing is, you weren’t getting Walmart’s. It’s the Walmart’s that make 70% acceptance pretty much impossible.
For some reason Walmart isn’t in my area anymore🤷♂️🙏
