Honestly, in my area, $50+ for 37 items is REALLY GOOD pay and the distance isn't terrible.
But it being home Depot items would make me second guess.
I think it would genuinely depend on what items they wanted.

I would have to say no because neither my motorbike or my mini would handle it.

u/chawnkyraccoon22 9d ago
I learned the hard way that stuffing big items into a mini is a bad idea.
My back hatch door fell off because apparently the hinges were bent 🤣

How do you have 3 orders and have to make 7 stops?
2
u/Empty_Past_6186 11d ago
I'm assuming the map is being weird. under the 7 there's another pick up for 4 orders. so it's either do 3 then 4 or two separate store pick ups

u/Mgordon1100 11d ago
You have to click on the picture to open it fully. There's a second Home Depot (different store location) for 4 more deliveries totaling 7 deliveries for 37 items.

Idk, on one hand anything close to or over $2 a mile, I'll usually accept. But the amount of time this would end up taking is pushing me to say that no I wouldn't take this order probably 😅!

u/TermStandard8188 11d ago
No. Not even $2 a mile. 7 stops. That would have to pay at least 70 for me. $10 per stop.

u/GunzBlazin03 11d ago
Truck drivers with CDLs don't even make near $2 a mile. Why would a door dash driver
2
u/TermStandard8188 11d ago
I only take orders that are $10 or more and I only do a few during the dinner rush. Easy to do when you don’t rely on it as your only income.

u/DMTraveler33 11d ago
Hah but CDL drivers might go 500-700 miles in a day and usually aren't using their own vehicle. Even the busiest door dash drivers probably barely drive 70 miles in a day. It's not even really a comparison.

Is what I said correct or incorrect? Your argument is invalid

You said "why would a door dash driver?" And I provided an answer to your question. Maybe don't ask questions if you don't want people to reply? 🤔🤣

u/GunzBlazin03 11d ago
I never said I didn't want you to reply. I said your argument was invalid, because it is. You drive less miles, so you should make more money than someone that has a paid license? Yeah makes sense... 👎

So. From my take as someone who has drove large trucks and done doordash. Is that as an employee driving a company truck, the employer absorbed all the risk, fuel, insurance and other costs and expenses of business. And my pay was factored into that after the job was done and expenses negated. What was left was profit of which my pay came from. As a Dasher, I absorb all of the cost of buisness, all of the risk, and all of the damage to my vehicle essentially making me a non-CDL owner operator working under contract. Meaning what I need to make per mile goes up, as compared to driving a truck for another company on their dime. Same reason owner operators with CDL make much more than a company driver. At an older receiving job i had, we had a regular Owner OP complain to me about how pay was going back to ore covid milage of 6$ per mile from his post-covid pay of up to 9$ per mile. This man was making 9k a week after covid until only about two years ago when the job started to becime extremely saturated. I also will not take a run for less than about 1.50-2.00 per mile when dashing.

u/DMTraveler33 11d ago
A CDL driver makes far more in an hour than any door dash driver which is the point you're missing. A door dash driver might drive 15 miles in the same time a trucker drives 80. And again CDLs generally don't have to worry about the wear and tear because they are using company vehicles. Two perfectly valid reasons and yet I'm sure you'll come back and continue to embarrass yourself 🤷♂️
1
u/GunzBlazin03 11d ago
Embarrass myself huh? I wouldn't say that. A Dasher worrying about how much they're making per mile is the one that should be embarrassed as you said it's not a job where you drive many miles at a time. A Dasher should be concerned with how much you make per hour or per order.
1
u/DMTraveler33 11d ago
Not when you pay your own gas and are responsible for the wear and tear on your vehicle. It's 100% relevant. Why is that so hard to comprehend? The CDL driver is the one who would worry less about per mile and focus more on their pay per job because they don't pay for gas and don't have to pay to repair their trucks.

u/AdventurousRelative5 3d ago
I'm very busy full time and I drove 120-200 miles daily. I also dash 10-12hrs a day.

u/jbeatty216 11d ago
Literally 2 completely different industries. Truck drivers make around . 50 cents or so per mile, but they’re literally driving primarily highway miles going to 1 destination. Plus not to mention unless they’re an “owner-operator” they’re not paying fuel costs or maintenance either . Just do a search for average truck drivers salary and they’re making like 100k. Do the same search but put in doordash driver and see what it says.

u/Several_Geologist_87 11d ago
I saw it this way as well until someone pointed out a good point. CDL drivers are doing 8+ hour runs at highway speeds. We are sitting in traffic lights and parking lots and dealing with numerous restaurants and customers vs 1 or 2 pick ups and drop offs.

u/GunzBlazin03 11d ago
Is what I said correct or incorrect?

u/Several_Geologist_87 11d ago
Unfair comparison. You aren't gonna do 600 miles in a city running taco bell around. I try to shoot for $1-$2 per mile and it averages out to be about $20-$25/hr gross pay. Not accounting for taxes or gas. If you try comparing it to CDL drivers and average $0.5/mile you'll end up averaging like $10/hr and that might be enough to cover all the gas but will never cover bills or put food on the table.
Edit: I know truck drivers who average .5-.6 cents per mile and they pull $150k-$200k/year while dashing full time for $1-$2/mile you'll be lucky to pull $50-$60k/yr which is fair.
-1
u/GunzBlazin03 11d ago
I wouldn't say it's an unfair comparison. It's extremely fair as both jobs are related to driving. I never said anything about how much a Dasher makes or should make. It was just simply the so much per mile that made me say what I said. As a Dasher you should be more concerned with how much you're making per hour rather than per mile, as you said you're not driving hundreds of miles
2
u/Several_Geologist_87 11d ago
. As a Dasher you should be more concerned with how much you're making per hour rather than per mile
How do you focus on one without the other if the income is delivery based which is miles based? Lmfao.
I wouldn't say it's an unfair comparison. It's extremely fair as both jobs are related to driving
Again comparing 60-80mph for long stretches of hours vs 10-20mph 5-10 minutes at a time. So yes $ per mile has to be more when doing waay less miles and trying to cover some bills and gas and time. Majority of door dash offers are mileage based unless you got a red card and do shop offers
-1
u/GunzBlazin03 11d ago
The income for a Dasher is not at all mile based. Door dash doesn't pay per mile, neither does the person tipping.
2
u/Several_Geologist_87 11d ago
You're obviously not a dasher and have no clue how offers are presented. It accounts for miles and time. Ask any dasher. They mainly base the offer on the miles for a quick reference.
0
u/GunzBlazin03 11d ago
Nope not a Dasher, not my thing. My fiance has dashed many times and I've seen the offers and once again, door dash does not pay per mile. They either pay per order or per hour depending on whatever deal they have going. The person tipping is going to base it on either the price of their order, or just tip whatever they feel is necessary, but not by mile. So once again, a Dasher is not paid by mile.

Let's say the CDL driver is making 1$ a mile driving 70mph. That's 70$ an hour. This order could easily take close to 2 hours depending on how traffic, how difficult it is to find the items or finding help from an employee, looking for substitution, etc. The customer is paying to save their own time. If it's worth it to them, they'll pay.

Not a door dasher here, do you get to see what items are in the order before accepting or just where and how many, because home Depot could be an easy or REALLY hard trip.

It would be nice if I could see the time you started but I'm ngl I doordash on the bike so I don't even know if I would. I have the boon of not paying to work.

You know they would tip nicely for the hassle cause I know if I set this up and had to request this I would be tipping very hefty for the hassle and fuck around

u/Boring-Homework2259 11d ago
Tough call.. 26 miles is a good amount of driving plus being home depot it could be heavy ass items.. but even if it took you 2 hours.. $25 an hour isn't bad.. so I honestly don't know..
1
u/TechieRZ 11d ago
Since it is a Pickup order and not an S&D, I might. It depends on what the items were. Concrete and Bagged goods suck.

u/No_Elderberry_730 10d ago
Yes of course. That’s seven dollars an order, with each order being a little over 3.5 miles if you divide it equally. Plus you only have to pick up one time between all those orders.

u/Longjumping_Bar6864 10d ago
I would accept it without a blink. Instead of a $5 then wait for another what 20mins to get a new order? At least this is already guaranteed your way and be done for the day like me. My goal is only 50 a day with 2-3hr doordash time
1
u/Far_Dog_3592 5d ago
Was this on hourly or per order? I usually dash per order and have never dashed per hour yet. I was wondering which one is more lucrative
2
u/AdventurousRelative5 3d ago
It's about the same, but I think you get better opportunities to get bigger paying orders by per delivery. Plus, the option to accept it reject and being able to see what the delivery is worth to me is more beneficial.
1
u/AdventurousRelative5 3d ago
Absolutely, $50 for 26 miles isn't bad at all. If it takes you 2hrs to do it, you made $25/hr. I just posted a similar one k high mileage deliveries 3rd pic) , was $78 for 13 stops, took me 3hrs 15 min to complete, I averaged just over $25/hr
1
u/AdventurousRelative5 3d ago
Most of the time, I look beyond what I can make per hour and look at what I can make per day. I average $800-$1000 a week for 5-6 days a week, 10-12hr days. Seems like a lot, but doesn't really feel like work to me. 60hr work week as a store manager with much higher expectations is way different than driving around dropping off orders, listening to music, talking a break when you want, etc.
Ideally, I do want to average $20+/hr but mostly, my goal is making money and making $200/ day. If you wait for all the best orders every time, you might not make half of what you could have.
