I drove for DoorDash for about a month. What killed me was the wait between deliveries. I think it was like 45 minutes on average and when I did get a delivery it was like a tiny $7 delivery. There would be 2 hour stretches of times pretty often.
But then once in awhile I'd get a string of maybe 3 or 4 runs that paid like $12. over 2 or 3 hours.It was too inconsistent. Had no idea if I ever got tips, from my understanding I think the company pocketed it due to how they were paying at the time.
The community talks about gaming the system and denying deliveries less than x dollars but I personally couldn't bring myself to do it. And after waiting an hour I'd be dying to get moving again anyway.
This was before all the pay drama, it sounds like they've gotten much worse. There's just too many drivers I think.
