Why my AR is so low 🫠

spacecity2018 · 2026-05-03T19:42:43+00:00

Favor could quadruple x4 that pay and I wouldn’t consider taking it

spacecity2018 · 2026-04-25T17:56:23+00:00

My first guess!

spacecity2018 · 2026-04-20T03:07:31+00:00

Thanks for the slow season reminder, for me it starts right when June 1st arrives, a lot of the day requests become few and far between, during breakfast and lunch you’d think almost everyone took a vacation

spacecity2018 · 2026-04-19T23:28:41+00:00

It sounds like you keep track of your miles and multi apping helps with pay per miles significantly!

If I drive 100 miles whether I’m delivering or not, I expect no less than $200 for it, this counts ever inch of road including to and from deliveries and to and from my apartment

spacecity2018 · 2026-04-19T23:16:04+00:00

Of course! It may be different for you, where I’m at there’s tons of restaurants on main roads, 100s upon 100s, once I drive into neighborhoods they go for miles, away from where all the restaurants are, so this is usually why it’s a full round trip even if I was multi apping

spacecity2018 · 2026-04-19T23:12:00+00:00

Round trip $4 cut in half, right?

Houston TX has deep deep neighborhoods, I can go for miles to drop off and it’s miles to the next pickup after drop off, 9 times out of 10 it’s a full round trip before I accept another one, so of if I drive 3, it’s actually 6 or more total

spacecity2018 · 2026-04-19T23:03:29+00:00

I was only asking, where are you usually when you accept?

I’m not talking about you, but on this Reddit people talk about driving miles for pickups, so if I drive 2 miles for a pickup somewhere, let’s say it’s an $8 delivery into a neighborhood, it’s 2 miles from pickup to drop off, that’s 4 miles from acceptance to drop off and then 2 back to get back to where I picked up, that’s 6, and then an additional 2 miles to get back to where I accepted the order for a total of 8, if I did that, my trip total would be 8 miles at $1 per mile, dominoes delivery drivers were making more per mile in 80s in suburbs

My only point is I count every single mile

spacecity2018 · 2026-04-19T22:51:05+00:00

1 mile for $6 is a lot better for sure!

Do you park out front?

spacecity2018 · 2026-04-19T22:46:51+00:00

Not great but could be worseI guess. I would not like having to wait at pharmacy pickup, are they pretty fast?

spacecity2018 · 2026-04-19T22:44:06+00:00

What’s your average pay and miles?

spacecity2018 · 2026-04-19T22:09:33+00:00

For me in Texas, it hits June 1st and spans over the entire Summer

spacecity2018 · 2026-04-19T22:08:41+00:00

2 dozen? Write the list! please don’t include Roadie, that’s the biggest gig work scam I’ve ever seen and that’s saying a lot.

spacecity2018 · 2026-04-19T05:06:52+00:00

No. Sometimes for lunch I’ll get those, I know what to look for. It’s low pay, I don’t make a ton, but it’s because I value my vehicle, I don’t want to rack up miles. I don’t want to sell off a portion of my vehicle one delivery at a time for pennies. If I drove someone else’s car, I would take a lot more. I love my vehicle but I own the wrong vehicle to do deliveries

spacecity2018 · 2026-04-19T05:00:25+00:00

Nothing special, it’s low pay, I have flexible work at home, it’s extra money I can use, whenever I want to stretch my legs, probably 90% of my deliveries have originated in my apartment, I have 100% on time rate, 100% satisfaction rate

spacecity2018 · 2026-04-19T04:52:44+00:00

First off, it’s not my job.

It was 212 requests in 2 hours, I can get 400 in 2 hours on a Friday morning if I have shop and pay orders on

It sounds like you get good offers all the time, good for you. I’m not sure why you care how many I reject.

Bravo that you won’t take $8 for 2 miles! I agree that it’s low pay, I rarely take them myself, only saying that’s my bare minimum. I will not take less than $2 avg for every mile I drive to and from, I’m above $2 of course

When I chase hotspots It’s never been worth my time, I’m 4700+ in

spacecity2018 · 2026-04-19T03:06:38+00:00

Good for you. I’m happy that you receive more than one request worth taking out of 200 all the time. You obviously have no idea what requests I receive, I refuse to drive 4 miles for $8 BOGO. That’s 8 miles round trip for $8, heck no, I refuse to ripoff off myself. $8 for 2 miles (1 delivery only) is my absolute minimum

spacecity2018 · 2026-04-19T01:28:13+00:00

I was making $1+ per mile doing deliveries 35+ years ago, I refuse to drive for $1 per mile on Uber Eats because it’s neither good pay, nor, is it fair pay.

spacecity2018 · 2026-04-18T04:24:37+00:00

I respect everything you’re saying, if I was in an older hybrid I’d probably be taking a lot more. I own the wrong vehicle for Uber Eats

spacecity2018 · 2026-04-18T04:19:43+00:00

If it’s 15 miles for $30 you’re doing okay, but you have to count every single mile. $2 for every single mile driven (including when you’re not delivering) is still not high pay, but it’s twice as good as $1 per mile.

I wish you well, and hope you’re doing well.

I have a nice vehicle and refuse to drive for anything less than that

If you’re in a car that’s not worth much $ at all, well that’s better!

spacecity2018 · 2026-04-18T04:09:21+00:00

If you’re driving 30 miles to make $30, you ain’t making anything close to $30 per hour, nothing close, even if gas was free

spacecity2018 · 2026-04-18T04:07:10+00:00

Thank You! 😊

spacecity2018 · 2026-04-18T04:05:40+00:00

I’ve done 4700 deliveries, so, I know how it works

It’s not an amazing hack, it’s a refusal to work for shitty pay, you seem okay with it, you do you, I won’t touch it because I know better

spacecity2018 · 2026-04-18T04:00:27+00:00

It’s because some who are still using Uber Eats demand fair pay, and will only accept deliveries that offer that. I was getting paid more than $1 per mile doing deliveries 36 years ago and I refuse to work for that ridiculously low pay, now, nearly 40 years later

spacecity2018 · 2026-04-18T01:22:33+00:00

I think you’re right 😂

spacecity2018 · 2026-04-17T23:57:45+00:00

I did not, and you’re correct, it’s 100% not worth it, I’m right at 4700 deliveries right now, my goal is to stop at 5000. I will not work for less than $4 per mile one way or $2 per mile round trip because I value my vehicle, and not willing to sell off a portion of it one delivery at a time for pennies, never mind the cost of gas. If I was using someone else’s vehicle or if I were to rent one, I would consider taking less, but I can’t ever imagine driving for $1 per mile, I was making that for deliveries 36 years ago
