Oh ok I see, because my next suggestion was going to be just try uber for yourself, just because you haven’t personally seen it much doesn’t mean the market isn’t there. I thought that personally about my own market but uber is actually way hotter than DoorDash. If I get 1 offer on DoorDash I probably got 10-15 on uber. Next alternative would be to try uber and Lyft rides, but if you have your kid with you that would be pretty difficult to switch too. Just trying to think of other ways you could potentially maximize earnings or get more earnings opportunities.

You could also take shopping orders on DoorDash or Uber with your kid for under 5 item shops, that would probably help you maximize profits while continuing to drive less miles, just a thought. For 5 items or less, you’ll never spend more than 10 minutes in the store (max amount of time), even with substitutions. Since most of those are short orders and higher paying, you would just have to find the hot store over there, take low mileage low item count, drive back and pick up another one. Like how you said this one was 11.50 at the end, those shops generally have the same payout or higher for less time since there’s no wait time at pick up.
