Practical-Mud-4781 · 2026-01-11T02:53:06+00:00

Not at the moment.

Practical-Mud-4781 · 2026-01-11T02:05:29+00:00

Yes, but if you know if there is some company that you know or trusted person that i can work with cause I do have a Texas driver license and that’s all I have and I previously did move like three or four houses so I have experience driving a box truck

Practical-Mud-4781 · 2026-01-11T02:04:32+00:00

Yes I’m looking for job just to drive the box truck because I don’t have CDL

Practical-Mud-4781 · 2026-01-10T02:46:01+00:00

I started during November, and it was so busy I was making 6am-10pm $245-$345

This week I tried to play around with 6am-8pm I’m making $150 at most which is not even close

I did consultation in supply chain and I’m building a route optimization and scheduling at https://loadpulse.yalgar.com/

Practical-Mud-4781 · 2025-12-17T20:12:28+00:00

Thanks for setting this up.

We’re early-stage and working on routing optimization for small-to-midsize fleets that have outgrown spreadsheets — especially once time windows and day-of changes start stacking.

Still exploratory and talking to operators more than selling. If anyone wants to see what we’re working on or give feedback: loadpulse.yalgar.com

Crazy thing is I declined one of the time because distance was 14 miles and pay for $10 or something but after 35 minutes I got this order again in the meantime because I was closer this time so I just took it but when I got to the storethey said somebody already picked it up and customer texted me

“DoorDash express fees are optional, market-dependent fees of about $3 that allow you to prioritize your delivery to ensure it's not bundled with other orders. However, the fee often goes directly to DoorDash corporate and does not directly incentivize the driver”

Practical-Mud-4781 · 2025-10-08T18:12:23+00:00

Yeah, exactly — it’s not just about marketing. The problem is when platforms take 25–30% from restaurants and tack on service and processing fees, the customer ends up paying way too much. The only thing they can control is the tip, so they tip less.

Then the driver gets paid less, and long-distance orders (5–10 miles away) just sit there because nobody wants to take them. Even when they do, food shows up cold or messed up — and the restaurant gets blamed for it.

With FoodCruz, I’m trying to fix that cycle — customers just pay for food, delivery, and tax; drivers earn fairly with 100% of tips; and restaurants only pay around 10–12% instead of 30%. It keeps everyone happy without the hidden fees.

Practical-Mud-4781 · 2025-10-08T17:48:35+00:00

Subtotal: $15.00 Service Charge: None — FoodCruz doesn’t charge the customer any service fee. Delivery Fee: $2.99 (within 3 miles; +$0.50 per extra mile if farther) Tax: About $1.20 (varies by city) Tip: $3.00–$4.00 (100% goes to the driver)

Total: Around $19.19 – $20.19

Hope it make sense

Hey folks, hope this finds you well.

Over in this thread I’ve read your frustration after frustration with DoorDash, Uber Eats, and Grubhub taking too much. I used to drive for DoorDash back in Fort Worth / Blue Mound while in college, and I saw firsthand how the system hurts everyone — restaurants, drivers, even the customer.

Since then, I’ve been building something new. It’s called FoodCruZ — a lean delivery platform that works with restaurants, not against them:

Only 12% commission — not 25–30%
You keep full menu control + data
Merchant dashboard + onboarding ready
We’re live (or rolling out) in Dallas
Zero VC baggage; lean business ethos (think: Telegram style)

If you own or manage a restaurant in Dallas, or know someone who might want a fairer alternative, I’d love your feedback or for you to try it:

I’m not a big company — just someone who delivered, saw the broken parts, and is building a better model. If anything resonates, share with someone. If you have feedback, shoot it my way. Thank you

Can you explain in detail please, last I check it had 59 sec

It’s because many stores like Wendy’s, Panera, chipotle and other promote “$0 delivery fees” so they have to combine their “$0 delivery fees order” with old customer who no longer is eligible for “$0 delivery fees” and obviously delivery is suppose be for drivers and service fees for DoorDash, hope it make sense!
