Hey everyone,

I got tired of seeing companies offer low-paying routes that look good on paper but actually lose you money after expenses.

To help out, I built a quick, free calculator specifically for independent couriers and gig drivers to check their true margins before accepting a run.

Link: https://gauravshukla8827.github.io/courier-route-profit-calculator/

What it does:

• Subtracts fuel, tolls, parking, and vehicle wear from your gross payout
• Factors in deadhead (unpaid return miles) and facility wait times
• Gives an instant ACCEPT / PASS decision based on your financial goals

It runs entirely in your browser. No accounts, no signups, and no ads. Drop your numbers in and let me know if it helps you out!

For Doordash customers. You can choose stores close to you, so that dashers (such as myself) in your area, don't have to drive to a different city or county for items, especially if it's just one tooth brush!

The scariest delivery that you delivered.

Today I had the scariest young mom who I delivered groceries too. I almost hit panic button in my app. But i just wanted out there so quick. I was scared to drive straight home think id be followed. or shot since its Texas. Kidding but not really. Whoever pjssed her off. She took it out on me. so thanks.

This waa right up there by being cornored by 2 mean vicious dogs on a patio, who wasnt there dogs. This I called 911 for. I was litetally cornored by from evil mutts That was last time I trusted anyone, to say '"oh its a nice dog'"...well they dont know me..so how do you know.

People its scary out there. Halloween time too. great scotts that was messed up

Life in China is so convenient and efficient ... but are those working people being taken care of? I recently interviewed delivery men in Beijing to find out what their lives are like.

Also joining me on this tour is a vlogger from New York, Dante Munoz, you can find his amazing videos about life in China on Instagram and TikTok!

I think its getting abit tight. Er. Or ish... not sure which to use but u get the drift. What gives?

How much can Amazon/Doordash/Instacart drivers make a day in the Seattle area?
I was thinking of working a few days a week.
Is it worth it?

My son is getting married in 1.5 years and I need to raise money for wedding expenses. 💒

Thanks in advance!!!

Hello! I'm very burnt out of retail customer service (10+ years) and im thinking about just grabbing a deliver job to get by instead. Can anybody speak from experience if they were able to make the same amount as a full time job? I wouldnt want to work more than 40 hours a week.

TIA and please be kind.

I'm exploring an idea called RiderSafe to make riders safer on the road.

Here's my prototype: https://heartfelt-palmier-5f7481.netlify.app

Would you use it? What’s missing? I'd love your honest feedback!

Chinat namin yung rider bakit nag-mark ng delivery failed. Rason niya ay di na niya kaya magdeliver daw sa dami at gabi na. Nagsend pa ng picture na may coordinates. Ang sinasabi niya na kung nasaan siyang lugar ay iba sa coordinates.

Rason niya, mag-isa niya na lang daw nagruruta dito sa bayan namin at need daw sa LAZADA (warehouse) na i-out lahat ng para sa bayan namin na I think, di naman need lahat kasi may last day pa naman estimated delivery (bukas-oct.13).

Out for delivery at may assigned courier na kasi si Lazada kaya nag-expect kami. Motorcy parts yun ng motor ko kaya pinapunta ko na mekaniko para sana makabit kaninang hapon.

😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨

Bumagal delivery service ng LAZADA.

I'm so very tired of repeating things to ai just so it can burn tokens all the while my customers are waiting for their food.

Waitress has a $40 order on 30 min customer recieves $25 tip. It must be quite a hazardous job with high expenses. Clothes and shoes!!

Disabled parking is for people with a permit to park there. If you are able-bodied, please park literally anywhere else.

I usually work in a small city with a huge university. I’ve learned weekends when there are home football games are impossible-every restaurant jammed and horrible traffic. But I need money so I drove to another territory that is extremely rural. And… wow!

I was able to accept orders I wouldn’t accept in the city (where I decline anything under $2/mile) because no traffic and high speed limits. This means faster deliveries and better gas mileage. Also 95% of restaurants are on the one main road with plenty of parking and there are ZERO multi-story apartment complexes! Worth driving an extra 20 miles to work any day!

I know not everyone has this option but if you do, give it a try.
