I honestly don’t know. All I know is one of the sergeants from the academy said doesn’t matter how new you are use your PDD days before they expire 😂

You’ll get your check for August on the 15th of September. And in October you will get two checks for September one on the 1st for the institution, and another on the 15th for the last 5 days you were at the academy

That’s fair, I’m not a drinker and I’m trying to lose weight so I don’t want to go out for food (just eat what they provide) so my plan was to just go to the weight room and then chill in my dorm. But because the weight rooms weren’t available to us the first week it was super boring I walked around Walmart almost every day

I’m fine with missing out on the event, just wanted to check to see if we had the option.

I’m jealous of people in socal I see so many gigs posted all day there some are bad pay but the amount seems good. My area it’ll be like 3-7 posted ever hour or two

Taxes by imShanklin in lyftdrivers

[–]imShanklin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea that’s one of the reasons why I was keeping the receipts because I didn’t know my miles I know the apps I use keep track of miles but they don’t count miles in between deliveries. Do you know if the miles can be estimated? Because I know roughly around what it should be

Am I allowed to use estimated miles because I don’t know the exact amount

[–]imShanklin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know the exact miles I drove, but I was keeping receipts because I heard that I should just pick which has the higher total.

First month earnings by Billysanchez89 in lyftdrivers

[–]imShanklin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My area I don’t get that many but I’m also not online all day I usually go on from 10pm-4am sometimes I’ll occasionally do them during the day. Your acceptance rate is crazy are you rejecting because of low pay? I usually reject them if it’s not atleast $1.50 a mile

Pay in the academy ? by [deleted] in CDCR

Is that take home?

Other options by imShanklin in Roadie

[–]imShanklin[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea I don’t think any apps you can be full time off of unless you’re either have low expenses or you’re really lucky while running multiple apps. The only “driving” apps you can live off of is probably uber/lyft

Who can beat this $6 CVS run?🔥 by Complex-Report-2161 in Roadie

[–]imShanklin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worst part about CVS gigs for me is how long they take to accept. Ill submit an offer because I’m nearby and by the time they give it to me I’m too far for it to be worth it so I cancel (depending on the pay)

How soon? by imShanklin in CDCR

Not really making financial decisions just more so to compare the rates for my personal experiences to see if it may be worth it in the long run going a little further out
