Thanks Jake for the legit info about the gig economy. It's fairly easy for those of us that understand how the gig economy really works to determine who is out there for their own personal gains vs who is truly out to help others. Yes in the end you too want to make money and even some from helping others but you do the work and get the truly useful information by all that you do. You don't read an email and assume you get the first hand knowledge through 1000s of trials vs the others that do it through 40 or 50. I get so frustrated listening to these people day after day because they simply dont realize that none of these apps give a crap about the gig workers. Anyway, Thanks for all you do ...

Then they need to allow bigger payouts and allow people to build their own fleet of drivers to help build their business.

Thank you Jake for clarifying a lot of this. Yes they dont care and constantly looking for dummies who are not reading the agreement and who will accept low payouts for their own profit.

Yes, I read their whole new contract when they put it out a month ago. They greatly simplified it and directly state that we can operate our business by any means we choose to get the job done in a timely manner. It also state that we can choose to accept or decline at will in the contract.

Like bro you searched a damn near brand new car to "prove" depreciation of cars wasn't a factor... Bentley... fam... you know damn well everyone doesn't drive newer cars like that.

Clever wording by a unethical company. We do not meet the requirements to be independent contractors.

It's possible that Koup is actually a Doordash insider, or in some way affiliated with Doordash, kind of like a mascot.

If I am business owner why can't I make my own selling/service offering price I should pay doordash not the other way round

So if we have "the sole right to control the manner in which deliveries are performed", then isn't it a breach of contract for DoorDash to automatically unassign an order because i'm not "heading to the restaurant"?

@Gig Coach Jake.....Alot of drivers do not understand that they need to set up themselves as a business entity such as registering their business name, get a LLC, EIN number (employer identification number) and a business bank account.....That is how you get the tax breaks of a business......Also you get more of a tax break if you just depreciate your vehicle and mileage......You don't get much for writing off gas for expenses only mileage......You can write off cellphone bill and lunch as well

Hey Coach! Question...in regards to mileage, lets say you're on your last delivery of the day and it takes you five miles to drive home from the last drop off location. Do you include those five miles in your tracked mileage?

You can include those 5 miles (known as commuter miles) IF you have a home office or home office space that you can write off. If you do not, then you are not supposed to count those miles as deductible. They would be considered non-deductible dead miles. Hope this helps your question.

This constant hiring scheme, never ending revolving door tactic, with referral bonuses to add is their way of defense against there ever being a stable driver base whom may form unity.

Quick question, how do we get a loud sound from the DoorDash app when a new order is coming in? Our app just vibrate even when we are multi-apping and even when we are just using DDash only, there no loud ring notifications when orders comes in like on other apps!

I work in Chicago and do 30 delivers in 7-8 hours. a few weeks ago I was being throttled and orders would stop for 10-15 minutes, in Chicago orders NEVER stop. Now they stopped the throttle but will not give you an order over $3/4/5 till you accept one and get back on the ball/drive again, from there you have to take orders for them to increase in price. I know this from my data, I do almost 200 orders a week. My AR is never over 35% and it will hover around 18% but when they jam me with shit offers it will hit 9% and all offers will be shit, I have to take a $5 offer to get back on the road again. This mind fuk they are pulling off now is so hard mentally because they change the game up every 2 weeks Jake....I still make $200-$275 every 7 to 8 hours worked but I have to figure out what the game is. I miss the min $6 offers before the NPM. Just pay me fair and I will work my ass off, I love DD

It’s dispatched via computer algorithms for at least 90%+ of the offers. Some are directly routed, like catering orders that aren’t “Drive” orders. They’re constantly testing and changing the algorithm though.

The things DD does to its Dashers do in fact exert control and completely violate the true meaning of what it is to be an Independent Contractor.
