I used to do Uber. Had great fun and experiences because of it. Made me a better person to some degree too. Got to spend lots of time in the big city but, Uber deactivated me because I put a VIN number on my temporary registration. Guys couldn't figure out the license plate even after taking pictures beside each other.

Regardless, have fun while you can, try and travel too if you can. I got to spend loads of time in Philadelphia and met some really cool (and not so cool) people. Good luck.

Doordash and grubhub. I can easily clear $200 in an 8 hour shift, $200 if I really hustle. This is on the weekend though

Easy and quick. They do a background check on you though but once it's clear you're good to go. Doordash may have a waitlist but it's almost a guarantee that grubhub will have one. Grubhub makes sure thar you as a driver are insured, not just your car. Doordash is a little more lenient and they don't really care. Also you get way more orders on doordash but you make more per order on grubhub. Here are a couple of tips in case you're interested

Always run both to maximize your gains. Doordash orders are usually quick, depending on how fast the restuarant is. Grubhub pings you when the restuarant receives the customer's order, which will result in you waiting until the food is done. So I recomend accepting a grubhub order while you're making your way to the doordash customer's house (or even while you're waiting for the doordash order) because like I said grubhub orders take long af. Always take a doordash order at the tail end of the grubhub deliveries. I can typically clear 2 deliveries an hour but it really depends on your area. With that being said never take lowball offers. You can decline as many orders as you'd like so do not pay attention to the "acceptance rate", it serves no purpose but to scare the driver. Doordash hides the tips but if you have an android you can bypass this by launching the app, sign in to your dash, DELETE the app and download version 5.62.2 at apkpure.com, as this is the last version where they showed the full tip upfront. You'll remain signed in when you delete the updated, original app so don't worry about losing your schedule. If you have an iPhone then you're screwed unfortunately, unless it's jailbroken and able to download the older versions of applications. I know biz hates reddit but go on their respective subreddits because they sometimes have important info regarding changes, crashes (doordash tends to crash a lot nationwide), etc. There's a learning curve but you'll get used to it fairly quickly

During peak times doordash will crash because their programmers are lazy af. So many customers order all at once that the app literally kicks out both the customers and the drivers. It usually happens on weekends, once every two weeks or so. It takes about 30 minutes to sometimes 2 hours for them to implement a fix before customers can order again. By then most drivers just go home because it's not worth the wait

I did doordash for a little bit. It was okay but so many people do it here that unless there's a snowstorm it's hard to crack $15 or $20 per hour. That's before accounting for gas and maintenance.

One time I did it during a snowstorm and made 120 bucks in 3 hours. If it was always like that I'd do it full time

It depends on the area. Anything below $20/hr is a bad day in my area. I average about $25/hr

When it's time for taxes you can deduct the amount you owe by providing the miles you drove while working as well as items you used that were necessary for you to work. A few examples are portable chargers, delivery/catering bags, and your phone bill

Try delivering only lunch. As a pizza delivery guy I get way better tips during lunch than during rush.

This is so fucking stupid. I just want to browse while stuck at a red light. Eventually you run out of podcasts.
Also I learned my state considers it "blocking your vision" to put up anything that hangs off your rearview, including air fresheners.

Anything so low that it's an insult for you to deliver it. Doordash has a flat base "pay" of $3 per delivery. You keep whatever the customer tips. Often times customers don't tip, so the pay will show up as $3. You decide whether you want to deliver that or not but I recommend not to deliver anything below $9, and even then it has to be within a couple miles. Of course every market is different, I live near a rich city so I can manage that standard without risking too much. As for grubhub, they calculate the base pay a little differently, but they typically pay more per order out of their own pocket plus the customer's tip. Grubhub shows the tip upfront before you accept the offer, doordash does not. Doordash will show you an offer with a disclaimer at the bottom that says "total may be higher" which means you're gonna have to gamble on whether the customer tipped fat or not. You can bypass this on android, just read my first comment ^
