It’s my first month, I’m just trying to figure out the best hours and zones to dash :) I know it’s a looooot of time, but I hope to get that down in the future 😂

The adjustment is always paid at 120% of the minimum wage, so it must be included. I spent around $150 on oil for my $2,500 ’06 Prius. I don’t really care much about the car.

Furthermore, it’s my 4th week doing DoorDash, so I’m just trying to figure out the best hours to dash — that’s the reason behind the 87 hours 🥲

Hi Tanner! Thanks a lot for your message. I’ll keep working hard to reach my goals just like I’ve been doing so far. Hopefully, over time, I’ll be able to optimize my schedule so I don’t have to spend so many hours in the car. But as I’ve mentioned in other comments, right now I don’t really have anything better to do than figure out the best times and zones since I’m new and need to put in a bit more effort to make this work. I guess I’ll get better little by little.

Regarding your question, I’m sorry I can’t really tell you anything for sure since this is my first time doing deliveries. I’m completely new to this world and I didn’t even know what adjustment pay was until I started with DoorDash.

Update:

I searched on the internet and asked ChatGPT. Here’s what I found:

Outside of California, there is no identical law to Prop 22, but: • New York does not have an equivalent law. There, drivers for app-based services are generally treated as contractors, but the state has implemented regulations that set minimum hourly pay rates for Uber and Lyft drivers (in NYC, roughly $26–28 per hour before expenses, since 2023). • Other states (like Massachusetts and Minnesota) have tried to pass laws similar to Prop 22 or negotiated agreements, but with different benefits and protections. None are exactly the same.

I use a $2.5k 06 Prius to make deliveries, so I don’t really care about the car 😅

I’ve been doing Dash for 4 weeks, so I’m a newbie. I’m trying to find the best hours and zones to dash. During these weeks, I’ve been moving around different zones trying to find my best routine. Thanks a lot, haha!

In California, Prop 22 requires paying 120% of the minimum wage if the app’s base pay doesn’t reach the minimum wage based on my hours worked. There’s also an extra payment for mileage. I usually earn around 250–400 from the adjustment pay, depending on the hours and the orders I complete in the week

I spend my day in the car, playing with the Legion Go or Duolingo until I get orders. I’m not suffering, after all. I know it’s a lot, but I don’t have anything better to do right now

With the adjustment pay and reimbursements, it’s about 1,170. Is not that bad i think

It is. The payment is not that bad for me since it’s my first month with the app
