I live in a big city and I just started doing this 3 days ago. I deliver on A 200cc moped and have been averaging about 17 bucks an hour accepting almost every order since I’m almost at the 45 orders for an extra $450. What are some tips on what type of orders I should and shouldn’t be accepting so that I can maximize profits, is it worth going for diamond status? Also for anyone else rides on a moped do you recommend any other apps?

Hey guys. I just came across a company called Airmule. It basically was Uber for people who wanted to earn a little cash or rent out their luggage capacity to people whose goods will need to be transported by plane.

Does anyone have an idea for why a business like that would fail? It went bust in 2019. Is it be cause of safeguards regarding transporting goods for someone else? Or did they just pivot?

Yeah i work 8 hours shifts sometimes at flink, and the worst part of all is how sore my ass is. What can I do, or what do some of you do to minimize this?

Hi everyone! I’m a grad student at Georgia Tech researching package delivery experiences, and I’m looking to talk with current or former delivery drivers.

It’s a 20-30 minute video call about what the work is really like, including the challenges, frustrations, and anything you wish apps or customers understood. Your answers are confidential, and you can skip any question or stop anytime.

If you are interested, send me a DM!

I’m currently caring for my mom and looking for flexible ways to earn money. I’m planning on getting a car soon anyway, so I’m considering doing gig work full-time.

I’ve looked into Uber Eats, DoorDash, Instacart, Amazon Flex, Dragonfly, etc., but I’m wondering what other options are out there.

For those doing this full-time, which platforms are actually worth it? Ideally, I’d like to sign up for several and maximize my earnings. I’m in Canada, if that makes a difference.

Any suggestions or firsthand experiences would be appreciated!

Looking at getting into this. I have a Tesla and would be in the Lexington KY area. I would prefer aa little customer interaction as possible along with not dealing with apartments or hunting down gate codes etc etc. I just don't know if there any any apps that might filter those out or even better filter to drop off only or would love to hear your thoughts. I basically just want as little opportunity for drama as possible

heres a few photos of the fallen pallets that i have had

they are big pallets, so if yall got any tips to have em stop falling, that would be life changing

I’m an independent courier doing mostly pharmacy runs and legal documents, with some DoorDash when things get slow. Almost everything runs through my phone: dispatch, maps, signatures, and delivery photos.

Today was 11 hours and 38 stops, with one bathroom break at a Sheetz around 2pm 😅

Some stops are quick, others mean waiting 25 minutes for someone to sign paperwork or making two trips because a nursing home’s front desk closes for lunch. Meanwhile, the dispatcher keeps texting like I can teleport between deliveries.

My phone usually dies around hour seven, so I keep a power bank attached and recharge it in the car. I also use open-ear earbuds for dispatcher calls so I can still hear people approaching while making deliveries.

Other essentials: a clipboard for manifests, nitrile gloves, a cooler, and a phone mount that’s survived three cars.

When your entire workday depends on your phone, these little things make a huge difference.

I'm looking to get started as a Medical courier I'm in Tennessee. I'm trying to find coverage for my personal vehicle. I'll be using this to start my business with. Any suggestions on who to contact for insurance coverage? I want to be able to work in KY and Tennessee. Any insight would be welcomed. 🙏🏾

Just starting out and getting all my paperwork done however I’m struggling to find any onboarding information for any brokers around here. Anyone know of any brokers actively recruiting for IC?

Где в курьерке фармить деньги лучше без стресса? Дорабатываю в Яндекс еде, в последнее время всё просто ужасно. Яндекс бомбанули и приложение слетело ко всем чертям. Да и до этого не устраивала ни зп, ни поддержка. Где лучше? Если кто есть из Екб, вообще здорово.

Right now i deliver on bike but it is physicaly hard.

I am not sure that if i would be cold etc.

Thank you for all answears

Seriously, think about this.
Drivers provide the cars, gas, insurance, maintenance, and labor. Restaurants cook the food. Customers pay for everything. Yet somehow the people doing the actual work seem to have the least control.
What if somebody built a delivery app with a completely different business model?
Here’s the idea:
$8 minimum base pay per delivery, with mileage adjustments.
Drivers keep 100% of their tips.
No acceptance-rate games or punishment for declining orders.
Restaurants pay around 8% commission.
Customers see transparent fees instead of a bunch of surprises at checkout.
Drivers get paid for excessive wait times.
Drivers receive a share of company profits once the business becomes profitable.
The company makes money from reasonable commissions and delivery fees. Instead of squeezing drivers, restaurants, and customers for every penny, it focuses on building volume and keeping everyone happy.
Obviously, the numbers would need to work. You can’t promise $8 deliveries if the company loses money on every order. But that’s exactly what a real business plan would have to solve.
And here’s another thought.
Why not let drivers become part owners of the company? Give them an actual financial incentive to help grow the business.
Start in one market, prove the concept, and expand from there.
DoorDash and Uber Eats don’t own the restaurants. They don’t own the drivers’ vehicles. They aren’t cooking the food.
They’re basically running the technology connecting everyone.
So why couldn’t somebody build better technology, charge less, pay drivers more, and eventually give these companies a run for their money?
I’m not talking about another app that makes promises and turns into the same garbage six months later.
I’m talking about a legitimate driver-first company with a sustainable business model.
Drivers, restaurant owners, and customers: Would you actually support something like this? Or am I missing something?
I’d especially like to hear from anyone with experience in software development, logistics, or running a delivery business.

Im in the Philly area and haven’t seen any missions in about 2 or more months. Anyone else experiencing this??
