DoorDash+Drivers+Gas Mileage=Pathetic Wages
I was very interested to hear the story on DoorDash today. I started working for DoorDash about six months ago. It was great. During peak times DoorDash would offer bonus pay. Almost every night during dinner time the bonus pay in St. Louis was $4-5 per delivery. Wow! I was doing well. I was making almost $20 an hour. Fast forward to today. DoorDash rarely offers any peak pay bonuses at those amounts. Many many times we drivers are given ridiculous amounts of pay for driving far distances. For example, I might get a delivery that is 20 miles away and the pay is about six dollars. (This happens 9 out of 10 times.) No bonus peak pay either. I feel like DoorDash suckered us in here in St. Louis.It seems like DoorDash refuses to take into consideration the wear and tear on our car, the gas money we spend, and the time it takes to get to these deliveries. DoorDash is taking advantage of us. No one likes to be taken advantage of, especially me. If it weren’t for the awful pay, I would absolutely love to keep doing DoorDash. After listening to Tony talk about his company, I would have to say that he really needs to take a hard look at his app. If one does not accept a certain order, their acceptance rate goes down. My AR is 6%. (That is one of the ways that you get suckered into driving further than you want to.) Gas mileage here in Missouri is 54.5 cents a mile. I would love to keep doing DoorDash. I am good at my job and customers like me. I am always on time. Tony, if you are reading the reviews on this podcast, you may want to take into consideration my thoughts. I would think you would want very good employees to drive for DoorDash. However, with your lousy pay, it is just not possible for myself or others to do so. You would do well to learn about Shipt, a grocery delivery service, and how they treat their employees. Shipt pays well and actually responds to their people and makes needed adjustments when warranted. DoorDash-stop taking advantage of the people who work for you! Soon you will be left with no delivery drivers like myself who know how to give great on time customer service with a smile.
