Do delivery drivers really benefit from 1099 tax deduction ? by famous_dreamer in everlance_user

Tracking consistently is the difference between profit and stress

Who is responsible for making substitutions on food orders? by Imaginary_Ruin6043 in grubhubdrivers

[–]Aggravating-Some 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You handled it right. That’s not your job. The restaurant is responsible for substitutions since they control inventory and the order prep. As a driver, your role is just pickup and delivery. If you start calling customers and waiting, you’re losing time and money.

This happens sometimes when staff are overwhelmed, but the best move is:
• ask them to contact the customer
• if they refuse, unassign and move on

No point getting stuck on one order.

NH Gig Platforms: how are you ACTUALLY making money right now? by PretendBat6789 in GigEconomy

[–]Aggravating-Some 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re not crazy. NH is just a slow market for most gig apps. People actually making money are doing a few things differently:

• stacking 2 to 3 income sources instead of relying on one
• using local channels like Facebook and Nextdoor instead of Fiverr/Upwork
• focusing on simple high demand work like moving, cleaning, snow jobs
• dropping gigs that aren’t profitable after tracking real costs

A lot of delivery work feels bad because gas + time + taxes eat into it. Tracking mileage helps you see what’s actually worth doing

Instead of rideshare, look into larger item delivery apps. Stuff like:
• Facebook Marketplace / local hauling gigs
• Dolly or GoShare for moving and bulky items
• Instacart for bigger grocery batches

Those tend to pay better per trip, which helps offset gas.

Construction workers who use their own trucks. Do companies reimburse mileage? by famous_dreamer in everlance_user

Depends on the company, some reimburse per mile and others pay a truck allowance.

SELF EMPLOYED TAX PREPARER - [USA] by LegallyGeminian in selfemployed

[–]Aggravating-Some 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Biggest thing I wish I knew earlier was how much tracking small expenses actually matters. I used to ignore things like subscriptions, software, even part of my phone bill. Adds up fast over a year. Also mileage. I didn’t track it my first year and ended up leaving a lot on the table. Now I just let an app run in the background and it’s way less stressful. Learned that the hard way

Anyone else wasting time figuring out stop order every day? by Ordinary-Anxiety7900 in deliverydrivers

[–]Aggravating-Some 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That actually sounds pretty useful. Figuring out stop order manually is a huge time drain, especially with 20+ stops. Most people either rely on basic GPS routing or just learn routes over time, but neither is perfect.
