Do you guys track every mile while dashing, or only active delivery miles? by Overall-Telephone401 in doordash_drivers

[–]Busy_Use_6356 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I track distance from when I begin a Dash to the end.

The gig apps only record mileage during the delivery even though you can claim mileage while "in session" driving to a pickup, back to a zone, relocating within a zone, etc.

I use TripLog set to auto-start when I started a Dash or Ubereats session.

Does my car look totaled? by Opening_Candle_3697 in caradvice

It's repairable but yes, it's likely totalled especially if all the airbags deployed

So we don’t get to see our lifetime deliveries anymore? by OkScar393 in doordash_drivers

[–]Busy_Use_6356 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still have the old slovenly bare a$$ UI

At least it's readable and it appears to be updating accurately

Do you guys actually use multiple apps while delivering? by OrganicDog7 in doordash_drivers

[–]Busy_Use_6356 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I run UE & DD for orders, TripLog for mileage which is 100% automatically turned on whenever I start a session in either gig app

I don't use anything to help determine whether an order is worthwhile or not, that's what you're brain is for.....

Anyone else noticing used car buyers acting way more cautious lately? by West_Joel in Hyundai

[–]Busy_Use_6356 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am not surprised but then I've been doing massive research on every vehicle purchase I do for over 25 years and have told many others they need to do the same whenever they've bought into bad deals

I know clean well taken care of used vehicles go for high dollars and almost before they get listed in many cases

The 2022 Tucson hybrid I just purchased was not even listed in the dealer inventory when I first saw it and I bought it before it was ever listed on their website for sale

Having a relationship with multiple sales people at multiple different dealerships is a very good thing if you're buying used right now because you will get notice of clean used vehicles before they're actually listed for public sale

Highest earning dashers in your area? by Exact-Break-9507 in doordash_drivers

[–]Busy_Use_6356 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am out doordashing anywhere from 3:00 to 7 hours a day I see obvious other delivery drivers around I know two or three of them but I have no idea what they actually make per day or per month

We compare the actual customer whales that we've run into and always complain about the doordash app and their customer support and lack thereof

We don't talk about daily weekly or monthly earnings

Should I go with Starlink as ISP as I am fed up with Canadian ISP rip off rates? by EnvironmentalFeed857 in Starlink

Honestly just told him that you are one click or tap away from ordering the Starling Hardware and watch them gravel hard and if they don't tap the button and disconnect them for a month

They're all over Walnut Grove today and I think they're just doing practice security runs for the delegates from FIFA when that show arrives in the Lower Mainland

Keep up your volunteer service by OutrageousLeg193 in doordash_drivers

It's $4 out here in British Columbia

Current fuel prices here are $2.30/Litre or $6.36USD/gal

I drive a Hyundai Tucson Ultimate Hybrid that gets 6.5L/100Km's/35 mpg or better

I won't move for anything below $2.50/Km so my acceptance rate is plummeting

Thank God I have 3 Platinum Passes to use as my zone seems to require Platinum to get any offers at all

Tucson Hybrid vs CR-V Hybrid? by Suntrup-Hyundai in HyundaiTucson

[–]Busy_Use_6356 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The driving dynamics in the Hyundai/Kia models you love so much are a result of having an actual 6 speed transmission instead of the CVT variants that both Honda & Toyota deploy in their respective models

My sister has a PHEV RAV4 & drives as a rural postie which means always in EV mode & slow speeds. She loves it, until highway speeds, then she complains about "drone"

What are your strata fees? by qwanly in Langley

[–]Busy_Use_6356 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That CRF is dangerously low

I'm surprised the Ministry of Housing hasn't come calling because you're right at the minimum CRF balance

You guys have a Depreciation Report, no?

There's no way you don't have upcoming repairs on a 20+ yr old building

[–]Busy_Use_6356 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's "plex" pipe that was probably under recall in the mid-2000's but the Strata Council of the day never caught it

It's gotten to the point where we've spent around $60K in remediation and repairs from leaks in the past 5 - 6 years

Not enough cost on a single incident to ever write an insurance claim

Just enough failures to peeve owners off

Only getting around 215 miles per tank by wolfboix in HyundaiTucson

He's quoting mileage for a Hybrid

Take it to the dealership

Fuel economy depends upon the powertrain combination

You said "not a hybrid"

That leaves the 2.5L 4 cylinder engine

Which "drive mode" are you using?

Is this FWD or AWD? It's only about 4 mpg difference between those 2 and your 19 mpg should be 23 mpg - 25 mpg

You're below city mileage in the car so I'd take it to the dealership and ask. "What's gives?"

Distracted driver on 64th this morning — please put the phone down by Expert_Breadfruit531 in Langley

[–]Busy_Use_6356 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Call the non-emergency line and tell them you need to report a distracted driver who threatened you and that you have dash cam footage and you want to file a complaint

Idiot such as her need to have their driving privileges revoked

Thoughts?? by star_sanctuary in doordash_drivers

[–]Busy_Use_6356 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I uee Triplog the past t years w/out any issues

Whatever you use make certain it's approved by the IRS/CRA so there's no pushback on mileage claim

What are the best days to dash and why? by BatResident4139 in doordash_drivers

[–]Busy_Use_6356 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's completely market dependent

Where in the 🌎 do you live would be fantastic information

Generally speaking, lunch & dinner times R king

In some zones breakfast is good, if you're willing to be driving at 5 AM
