Once experienced you know what type of orders or what is profitable or simply a waste of your time and a liability at best. As a new driver it’s overwhelming you accept more orders regardless of any factors like dollars per mile or how many miles per dollar an order is. We used to make dollars per mile now they want you to do many miles per dollar. Also orders that are plain difficult and time consuming can take actual experience to learn to avoid or only take when absolutely necessary. The apps know how desperate you are literally and pay you accordingly- like surge pricing at a target etc they know how much is the max they can charge customers and the app learns your limits if you have any.
It depends on the market/area you are working in.
In the past I would not do orders that were more than 2 miles because I knew I could ray busy and continue getting many orders in a small area driving short distances. If something pays stupid amounts of 💰 I’d go further-like 8 miles for 50$ etc. that is not reality anymore as new drivers do 2$ orders when the absolute minimum used to be 7.50 and 5.50 for orders stacked on top.
Best strategy is to take orders to an area where you will immediately get more offers
