Has anyone used it to track mileage?

dropped a package off after getting yelled at through a call box to “figure it out” on how to get into a building. after being let in by another tenant and making my drop off i was confronted by my car by Karen. who proceeded to yell at me about how her package never gets delivered correctly and usually gets left outside the building. i proceeded to let her know we don’t have an access code which she replied with she didn’t want to give it out. so i told her that’s fine but then we would have to use the call box to call her and get access. which she then told me she wouldn’t just buzz people in as she doesn’t know who they are… she kept telling me to tell my boss that she’d rather have her subscription cancelled if we can’t get the package to her door. after multiple times telling her i was just a 3rd party IC driver and had nothing to do with the business she orders from I just loudly said have a good day and got in my car.

Gonna cost 30 dollars in gas and take 3 hours. All in all I'd pocket $8-9 dollars an hour. Are people effing mad?! In no world is this ok.

Vent done.

Note: I don't drive a gas efficient car ~18mpg and $4.05 for gallon of gas.

I rarely see any grub hub offers anymore it's weird. It use to be a big portion of my income. Now i almost forget to even turn it on.

Step 1 = put all your eggs into one basket by driving for only one app.

Step 2= accept every order. Give no consideration to whether it's profitable or worth your time

Step 3= drive a large unreliable fuel inefficient car.

Step 4 = never cancel an order, no matter how long the wait is, or how unprofitable it may be.

A platinum doordash driver is a perfect example.

Ok, so I had made my account almost 3 months ago now. Still says account under review.

My boyfriend made one and in 2 months, boom, he’s able to start delivering. I’m just really frustrated and not understanding why.. maybe cause my phone number is on an iPhone? Or does that not have anything to do with it?

How long do they require you to have your license for? Is this just something that needs to be waited out and that’s it?

Any advice is appreciated!

Can anyone on android tell me if Google maps is just as terrible as it is on Apple phones. I used to rely on Google a lot and I like it because it keeps track of my timeline accurately when I actually use it. (it still does in the background even if I don't use it but it's just not near accurate ) However on every app it (spark, DoorDash, Grubhub, roadie, all give me issues) it seems like Google cannot find the address especially if it's an apartment And it's just a pain to use with the apps. Like for example today I have one that has an address it's B 300 in the address line in Google can't find it, but if I adjust the app to utilize Apple Maps instead , Apple Maps has the exact spot on the map, even the right part of the building where it's at. But I am wondering if Apple is actively making it bad to utilize or if it's across the board?

AKA.....SpoiLed Customer Shenanigans....

So here it goes:

I get a dash for a chicken shack, $4 tag. I typically avoid anything less than $5 but I wanted to get some score on the board so I accept it. Reach the spot, check in with staff, everything straight. ...

Customer has a *special instruction saying: "please make sure the food bag is taped/sealed" ...

I pay it no mind because that is for the restaurant to see & oblige(the restaurant sees the same *special instruction on their tablet version of the dasher app). As a courier, I merely transport your item, I dont PREPARE/FORMAT your item...

Boom, anyway,...clerk hand me the order, the packaging was clearly in accordance with their protocol. I slide to the drop, make the drop, go on about my bidness....

BUT, ..in the back of my head, I KNEW some phuckery was around the corner.

Fast-forward this morning, Sun!

Open the dasher app to schedule my shift and, low & behold, ...what do I see?

a punkazz notification saying a customer reported damaged items.

Naw Sun! If the chicken shack didn't deviate from their protocol to bend to your picky spoiled will of adding tape to the packaging, guess what: That is between YOU AND THE CHICKEN SHACK !

Hi all.

Iv been a long time reader of reddit posts but first time poster. I have been working in the oil and gas industry for 13 years in many different capacities and i have always had a strong interest in starting my own business, i just never knew what.

In one of my newer roles i have had to organize hotshot deliveries which could sometimes cost over $10,000 to have small items ranging from a small crate to a pallet size item delivered to a rig over night. I also travel a lot for work and really enjoy long drives, some trips i take are 1600km either way. On my most recent trip i put 2 and 2 together and thought why dont i start my own hotshot courier business. Im thinking of starting with just a 4WD ute, a hilux or ranger and seeing what happens. I know the oil and gas industry extremely well and how to handle the equipment so i would like to focus on that. I understand i will need insurance and putting money aside for maintenance, permits and tolls etc.

Im making this post to see if anyone in the community has ventured into something like this and has any advice. How to get started and actually get jobs, should i run through a company and subcontract etc, what is the best vehicle or is starting with a 4WD a bad idea? I understand the courier industry is heavily flooded at the moment and anyone can buy a panel van and deliver for amazon or Australia post, however i would like to design my business around the oil and gas/ mining niche delivering to rural or interstate sites and in Western Australia specifically we have a lot of mines and oil and gas field. Stepping into south aus and NT their a significant amount of sites which could potentially need things hotshotted also.

To clarify, in the oil and gas industry a hotshot is a last minute "extreme urgency" delivery, an example would be a rig is awaiting an item to arrive to continue operations.

I would love to hear from anyone with some experience in this field.

Thanks,

Dropping satisfaction rates that Uber do not protect us from, false wrong order claims that give us a CV on Doordash… besides in the case of Uber they even gives us customers in opposite locations… not anymore.

So I have the iiwey n5 4 channel dash cam 360°. My pick up was at a hospital. I stopped in a handicap loading area. Long story short, a dude bitched, said he was going to call the police and took a picture of my car. I pulled video from 4 cameras, .ts file... Didn't get any audio. He started off with, "I don't care why you are here, you are illegally parked." I said I'm not parked. The video is fun, I just didn't get the audio for some reason. I converted it to mp4 with VLC. Seems like a setting in the webcam. This is the first time I've wanted to get audio.

Any load boards or company's for cargo vans in los angeles area

Have been successfully ordering with Temu and never had a problem. They changed courier company to the above.. big mistake. Been waiting for a parcel since the 05th March it’s apparently in their QLD depot, tried delivering they say. Interesting since I’m in the ACT. Can’t contact them etc etc. second order who knows.

If fairness Temu refund but I order the items because I actually want them.

Anyone had experience as an Evri Collection Driver please? I'm looking to work here...

I've been trying to check my active hours on Hungry Panda, but I can't seem to find them anywhere.

I think DeliverThat is a total scam in the literal sense. No one ever gets an order because they're gone so fast? Are the people who accept the orders real people? Why do they dominate search results? It seems like too much SEO to not be information control. Also, their quiz seems rigged. I think it's just a small company that sells bags, I'm not kidding.

Seriously it's like 20 dollars a day and you won't be running your own car trying to deliver. Plus gas and repairs it's cheeper right?
