same area, it's a medium sized city, I work the night shift 8pm to 4am, contrary to popular belief this is actually the best time, almost no traffic, very few drivers to compete with if any, I've been driving there for 2 months or so, I've learned a bunch of things about the area and the stores so I'd say there is no real point to change location, with repetition you gain competency even in something as seemingly simple as food delivery

jobs are impossible if you aren't a minority or a woman, they also have ridiculous expectations and expect you to pretend you really like working, which is the worst part

signing up for the apps was easy, you drive, I didn't fill out 500 applications and beg someone to hire me, it was relatively painless

Resident physicians put most people in the dirt. 80 hours on average. 1 day off per week for 3+ years.

>> No.54967605

also another thing to mention, if you even have baseline intelligence and courtesy you should succeed, for example, if you are a young man with basic manners, basic strength and attention to detail you're already ahead of the other app drivers, because generally, it's safe to assume you aren't competing against the highest time preference people

I've had conversations with drivers that say they cuss out customers, have gotten beat up by customers, have had their accounts deactivated, all you have to do is have the most minimum level of self control, drop the food off and they really can't kick you off

low expectations, decent pay, you spend a lot of time driving alone if you work the night shift, it's pretty based

even app driving is more physically taxing than that, I'm not saying that isn't impressive, but on a physical scale, that isn't the challenge, it's giving enough of a shit about working and "medicine"

Same. It’s grocery delivery for me. I can’t do graveyard shifts since stores are closed. Am I delusional thinking these gig jobs are much better than the usuall 9-5 jobs?

>> No.54967689

>>54967670
personally I think so, I haven't had any truly bad experiences yet, haven't been deactivated or anything so for the time being, yes it mogs being a wagie, there are people in much better positions than me, to be doing this as well, I have a lot of limiting factors bringing my wage down to slightly above min wage and it still mogs working

It just doesn’t feel like a job. I’m just relaxing in the car driving around the city.
The thing is I don’t see myself doing this for years. But I’m not slaving in a boring cage in a boring position too.
What do?

>> No.54967736

>>54967670
Fuck no. I quit my soul-sucking office job and do doordash now. This is much better, and I was WFH and made okay money.
You just drive to a restaurant, pick up some food, drive to their house, and drop it off. No stress, no emails, no schedules. Night time is low traffic and high orders too. I haven't gone full overnight like OP, but he's right.
Another bonus for doing it at night is the heat. You can turn your car off without frying to death. I'm in Florida though, so it's probably a bigger concern for me than most.

go all in on hard assets and keep driving man

I've considered becoming a trucker, because I drive more hours than they do currently, but also 8 hours a day on a highway is different than taking a break every few hours, walking around stretching your legs

I don't know, it's pretty comfy in general

I also find it highly curious that basically every legislator, news article is reeeeing, over "driver pay" "drivers want to strike"

they literally can't stand that neets can go out and make slightly above min wage and don't have to be a minority or gay to do it

after expenses, probably like 2800 or something around there

I'm in a less ideal situation than a lot of anons because I make a 1 hour commute both ways, and drive a mid range gas mileage vehicle, if I lived closer and had a prius I could probably make around 4k or more I could work those extra 2 hours per day if neccesary or if I wanted to, my gas costs would be atleast half of what they are now, maybe 1/3

do the math

if my vehicle at its current rate will last for 4 more years, and I make 40k a year app driving after expenses, and I save all of my money

you're saying I can't afford another beater for like 5k that will last me 2 years and so on
