I am a nurse. This is my side hustle. I drive when I want usually weekends. My target is $100 when I work. I hit it Everytime. I don't take a call less than 7$, stop stacking orders, track my miles, invested in things to keep food hot, and watch your channel. Just accepted the promotion to deliver alcohol waiting to see how that works. So far been working 3 weeks $100 goals Everytime.
Love it! Definitely addictive.
Great to hear! I wanted to know if you can please explain what you mean by stop stacking orders to help?
I'm thinking doubles, or orders they give you with less info when you are "near" completing a current order.
@@IamDAN Ahh I see, thank you.
$100 in 3 weeks ?? How much net per mile after expenses ?
That's good. I almost had $100 yesterday. Was at $96. I figured maybe I'll do one more pick up on the way home. Never got another offer. I been driving since 11:45 and it was after 8 so I was ready to call it a night. Did work a feelw days earlier so I'll get $157 minus the $60 in gas.
The most expensive house I’ve ever delivered to, tipped me the lowest I ever got - $1.00 and it was at midnight Friday night. I’m seriously so disgusted with these people, the richer the greedier.
I've only ever had 3 tips lol. I get compliments and thumbs ups though
They don't owe you anything 🤷🏼♂️
Only do deliverys that have tips problem solved
Well yes, but that’s how they stay rich sad to say. I get very high tips when I deliver to low tier apartments but when I go to houses I rarely get tips
it depends on the people here in europe a lot of people just tip because european people are decent people
Thank you! I've been watching you since before I got my car. You always give honest feedback and perspective!
this is golden advice!! i head towards my secret golden spot every time!! the hot spot tricks u to the college area full if no tippers, slow restaurants and zero parking. Dinner delivery is key
Drive away from hot spots. If everyone did that, the hotspots grow and offer more $$ bonus
Just FYI... I just started UberEats yesterday and found out by accident today that they reimbursed me for my tolls. I was shocked and impressed!
How do you do that? I'm always on the tolls here in Miami.
It’s in the fees breakdown
In order to see your reimbursement of tolls plz screen shot what you made in the wallet before delivering and once delivery has been made look back in your wallet and see the difference. That means checking what you made for the order first and then check back in wallet for difference given back in toll. This is how I track. Hope this help.
Me too. Although the one thing that sucks is that if you do have to take a toll road it usually make you go further
Lucky you, I got 3 tickets and 4 express way bills
Awesome advice, thanks for sharing!!
Thanks for the content ur videos really helped me out I finished my 2nd day of uber eats today I live in Snohomish county and have been focusing on the north Everett area and I've done fairly good so far I made $220 in 2 days. I made the mistake of accepting a delivery to kirkland around 5pm tonight and got stuck on 405 in between bellevue and kirkland and that was no bueno definitely gonna avoid the freeway in rush hour thats for sure Thnx again!
Love your videos. You’re so chill straight to the point
I don’t care about the miles but I look at time estimate. Like today I got a $25 order for 40 min of driving... that’s still double what I make at McDonald’s an hour sooo worth it to me
nice
Subscribed, liked and notifications on. Thanks for the info.
Gridwise works well so I've heard
well said, especially the quarterly taxes as from the second year kill young business
Does uber eats have any kind of promotion or bonuses after so many trips for new drivers? Thanks for all the information.
What's your channel for stocks and investing? I love learning and discussing those too! Thanks!
I’m confused! So what’s the first thing you do when you keep track of your miles? I understand you write the miles you start at and then end? Right? And the date? Or start at and the when you first start the delivery miles and end of deliveries? Got confused. Sorry.
I work with Uber eats I love they keep the order coming
for mileage .. take photo at start and end .. details give time , date stamp ..quick and easy
I need to find a good 4-cylinder station wagon/mini van automatic with air conditioning to deliver with .
Good idea
And he’s still figuring out those 7 things 😂😂😂
What app do you use to keep track of Mileage?
Hey handsome!!
I've learned that lesson driving doing deliveries in downtown Seattle during dinner. After dinner not so bad
What do the delivery rider apps like UberEats give you as login details? The email address or mobile phone nr. you signed up with and a password? Or something else?
Is it necessary that you use the SIM card of the mobile phone nr. that you gave up when you signed up for the delivery app to login the app and do your orders with? Or can you also use another SIM card of another mobile phone nr. ? (eg because that SIM card has more monthly internet data allowence for example)
I really effed a stack order tonight. every other time they plotted it 1st picked 1st dropped. They reversed it in this case. Totally my fault. The 2nd guy called me after I dropped and he hit me with the F. I reversed the drops. Fukt up two orders in one stack. Don't forget to double check your drop and make sure it's correct.
Where your mileage tracking apps link? And what do you use?
If IRS says you’re going to spend .59 ct per mile in depreciation, gas and maintenance. And you’re making .75 cts per mile driving for Uber, where are the earnings?
The tax summary from Uber that you can print out from the Uber app keep track of online miles. So why would you need another app to do what’s already being done
On Uber eats I always screenshot the offer when it comes through especially if you're already on a delivery I can then look up the location on Google maps of the new drop off to make sure if I want to take it or not. If I don't like what I see I just end up canceling the order.
Smart
Does Uber eats penalize drivers for canceling too often?
Yea but don't you have a certain amount of time to accept the order?
@@lovelyek8187 as they said, screenshot, accept, look where it’s at, then go into order and cancel at that point.
Strats
How can I get information about Amazon Flex?? Is there an app for that and do you just sign up??
how do you see how much you get for a delivery before i accept?
145 for 10 trips is good i barely make that
Exactly, I did 16 trips and only got 112
What to do in case the app isn't able to process the photo of the delivered order (leave at the door option) due to poor cell coverage? Just send a text?
Perhaps this video was recorded prior to Uber’s new reduction in pay which happened right before the end of the year but we are getting a majority of two dollar delivery offers for the entire shift it’s impossible to make money now
No as i get $6-$16 deliveries alot... kissimmee/ orlando area
@@4door_papi then customers are tipping in your area. In suburbs of Chicago where I’m at they tip like shit, if at all.
@@4door_papi I’m in the Orlando area too(altamonte). Trying to find the areas with the best fairs. So far belle isle, metro west Area, and winter park have been the places with the best fairs. Now that I have done for a week. I tried not to accept anything less than 8 dollar fairs
I don't have a heat bag but what I did is get a $20 beer can Cooler from walmart and put a heating pad in it on high, it make a nice warmer that can fit more big bags, I also have a second cooler for with Ice Packs in it for cold items. Also for taxes, (it can be a bit risky) but I have an Acorns account I put 24% of my weekly earning in (my tax rate is 21% before my deductions) That was my money grosses and if I do have to pay taxes I would of made some money off of it. This is just a side income and my fulltime job takes more than enough taxes out to cover anything I make on ubereats. If this is your sole Income I would run it by an accounts first on setting tax money aside, and make it grow and work for you (The govt. does the same with your tax money)
Just curious, does your full time job provide you a W-2? If so, how do you file your taxes? Do you file your full time job with the W2 separate from your gig side job 1099? Have you ever had to pay a lot of taxes for your gig work? Thanks for your insight!
@@jacob.8303 I use an accountant, but I get a W2, and I have a 1099, for Uber you just down low your tax doc from the site. Last year was able to write off about 70% of my uber income. (Again, it was a side thing, so it was not a lot to begin with). but everything is file tougher. again, I used an account, they also know what all I can write off my expanses
I made $50 in hr last Friday
im just started but problem with connection network
I have been doing gig work/ mystery shopping for 5 years and I only turn my stuff over to my tax lady when I do my taxes. My work has always helped me and hubby at tax time. I have never had to pay in.
I recently started multi apping and started Uber Eats Im making way more than with door dash
👍👍
Your not makinmore with door fash its actually same they just show total with tips. Uber started doing that as well.
@@aprils6971 in my area i am I’ve compared it
Are you doing full time?
@@itzeltellez939 yes i am
live in the Branson Missouri area I only had three deliveries today was not happy
I want more numbers but they didn't give it to me today I don't know what's going on
What if you live in areas that have no way to make more then 8-9 dollars with tips included for any restaurant. I’m guessing since this video is older things have changed some. I have hot bags, etc, etc, great ratings but never make more then 8-9 bucks a trip no matter how fancy the restaurant. People in within a 75 mile range are beyond cheap. I’ve gotten 2 tips in a year that were 10-15 bucks. Is it not worth ubering in my area or keep going cause I barely make it with gas and trav el.
What if I got a car specifically for full time Uber eats would I be able to use the difference of mileage from purchase on the odometer.
No but you can take gas usages for business out of your taxes.
Your dedication and and services are 100% top notch he remain the best
i love your videos bro but quick question do i need a TLC license plates to delivery food with uber eats in my car ?
Just a regular license will do.
TLC is only for passengers
When you track miles could you just write them down or how would use keep track of them. Without app because I tried apps and they were really inaccurate
Tracking your odometer is the most accurate, I use apps because it’s easy though
@@Gignation and when you mean tracking it where would someone track it on? In another words do they trust your word or do I need to be taking actual pictures of my miles?
@Daniel Brockman 😂
@Daniel Brockman better hope the IRS doesn’t audit because they will at some point if you’re self employed
All of these links say “bad merchant” and “error” :(
I haven’t got any quests
Lol About all the detail about keeping track of mileage. The Uber app does it all for you.
New to Uber Eats. How do I create a report for taxes when it comes time?
UE only tracks your miles while on an actual delivery. Not total miles while driving waiting forever an order. As long as app is on, ALL your miles are deductible. But the app has to be on and with the intention to accept orders. You can’t turn it on just for personal use (ex: grocery store) and decline any orders that come through.
@@cfleming614 uber eats tracks it all (online miles: miles you accumulate driving while online, miles you accumulate while driving to pick up food , miles you accumulate after picking up foods and driving to delivery destination) uber combines said miles in a report at the end of the year.
@@whatusername1234 I stand corrected. I just looked at one of my statements and read the small print about that. My bad. Thank you for clarifying.
I have worked over a year and at first it was great. So good that i almost quit my fulltime job. Thank god i didn't!after 8 month i became uber pro and then i became gold and i started working for point and the money went down. From making $600 to $800 dollars a week to $200 if lucky. So im hopping after covib it will come back. The expected tip shit is horrible. I live in a high tipping are in long island an i was making more in tips then Uber and now i make no tip. What happened?
Same issue in Birmingham al
Indiana two 😒
New to this, what is a quest?
Has anyone else had problems lately with the Uber Plus card not working? In St Louis the Uber navigation is terrible and the app thinks I’m not at the restaurant yet so the card is always declined. These order and pay deliveries have huge payouts so it’s unfortunate and the restaurants are trying to take themselves off of the app because of this issue.
Yes I've had problems at least 1-2 times a day. It really sucks cause I would call ahead and order and then the card doesn't work. Support told me they've been having a lot of problems with it this past week. They told me that my location on the map wasn't where the ping for the restaurant was or right on top of it that's why it wasn't working
We've had issues in St Louis also with the card being denied at one place and working at the next.
@@alycegivarz7052 I figured out that if the restaurant is close to the street it will work because the pin ends on the street. I had to walk out on the sidewalk at Imos once just so it would work lol
I take orders using the Uber Plus Card but I don't know why customers use the Card.
How can you switch to just Uber eats?
can someone explain the paying taxes on Uber Eats money?
If you don't get a pickup within 30 seconds after you drop, go back to the strip.
Is uber eats dead? I can't get shit? My first couple days were good, made about 60-70 every 4 hour session. After that I can't get anything. Last night I drove around downtown college campus for an hour or so and got nothing. Tonight I saw the campus was zoned as "lower wait time" so I got there quick and got 1 whole trip in an hour and a half for a total of $7.
I assume it has a LOT to do with where you live. I am in Columbus Ohio and there are like 5 separate, tightly packed/densely populated, high end areas here + The Ohio State University Campus - I have 17hrs in and have done 43 trips. (2.5 trips/hr -avg.) I am averaging $21/hr and I have taken some really bad orders due to inexperience and nerves... Also, I have turned down at lest 30 orders, some of which were probably good, but again, I didn't want to "bite of more than I could chew" right out of the gate....
Good Luck to you!!
I do Uber Eats as I go to and from my full time job as there are many restaurants along the way.
Any self-employment that isn't done via a business/company you own does not have to file quarterly taxes. If you OWN the business/company then taxes much be filed quarterly. Any personal level income from a business/company of your own is still filed annually.
blog.stridehealth.com/post/quarterly-taxes
I refuse to even click that link. It's a blog, with the word "blog" in the URL. The source, "stridehealth," is not a reliable source - especially when it comes to taxes. it's strictly ones own words. I will trust the law.
ANY SELF-employment, of ANY kind, taxes are filed annually as it is PERSONAL income. If you OWN A BUSINESS/COMPANY then your BUSINESS/COMPANY has its own tax filing requirements, including filing quarterly.
Do YOU OWN UBER? No, you drive for them - INDEPENDENTLY. You are SELF-EMPLOYED under them. You do work for them in the same way you would if you worked AT Uber.
IF you owned a business/company with an agreement in which you, and/or others employed by you, drive for Uber, Lyft or any similar company, then the income would be your business/company income - and thus would then have to be filed quarterly - because you'd be offering a service, via your own business/company.
I have plans to register/launch my own ORG (was going to do an LLC and and ORG but changed that plan). I'm considering offering services involving volunteers, and maybe me too, driving. I might do it via companies such as Uber/Lyft at first, but my goal plan is to set-up my own ORG level service.
A lot of subscribers on this channel use stride for healthcare, mileage tracking and tax advice. Convincing them that it is an illegitimate source and that instead, you are the authority, will be an uphill battle. If it’s “the law” backing your argument then it should not be difficult for you to add a link to a .gov source when making your point.
Trusting a healthcare source for mileage tracking and tax advice? LOL
I did NOT state, nor imply, "stridehealth" not being a legitimate source. I clearly stated, and specifically implied, it's an unreliable source. OH, you *think* I've implied being an "authority?" People need to cease interpreting what is said for what they want it to mean and twist others words. It's not my fault I didn't say it your way.
I'm not the one that needs to prove anything. I've communicated what I know is valid in my initial comment. I happen to have business knowledge, including other than what I learned in the one more relevant of two business classes I took as electives during my 18 month college course.
It's not my 'job' to look for a reliable source to back what I said as I have no reason to prove anything. You're the one making the claim that I'm wrong. Just because you said what you said in this vlog does not mean I'm the one claiming anyone wrong. I simply, and strictly, stated what I know is actually true. Despite the fact, locating such information takes time I don't have just to prove myself right.
If ANYONE is going to insist ME as wrong, then those insisting me as wrong will need to link me to at least one RELIABLE source. I'm far form stupid and know a reliable source from an unreliable source.
FYI: Not all tax sources have .gov websites. But if you'd like to sift through irs.gov pages then that's your choice. It would be reliable, if you find and link to the right page. Even more specifically, a source such as TaxAct would be unreliable as I don't trust them, but a source such as H&R Block would be reliable as I do trust them - despite the fact that I have a current issue with them in which they've been ignoring me and they have a ridiculous 'agreement' with the BBB that halts reports against H&R Block if a report isn't submitted their way.
Not .. making anything near .. that … negative… but, I’m listening ..
Is it ok to have a helper with you?
What do you guys think about me and my friend do UberEats together and split the profit 60/40?
I don’t think that’s a good idea. Doesn’t pay so much to be doing that.
Yeah, splitting the money would not make any sense. If anything just grind hard and buy a 2nd car...Maybe then you could charge for the use? Don't get it twisted, if the homie needs help having a person with you would make it a lot more efficient as far as stops and drops + someone being able to actually read an order and contemplate it's validity (30sec goes by FAST when you are DRIVING at NIGHT!) Now that I think about it, it could save a life - However, I digress. With 2 peeps in the ride, in my area, you could probably knock down $30hr....
So yeah, _perhaps_ it is a plausible idea, at least for a start.
Good Luck!
Hey dude I got kicked off of Uber Eats as a driver for having a low customer satisfaction rating (73% after 102 deliveries). Any tips on how to get allowed back on? I've had 2 unsuccessful appeals so far. Thanks.

How'd that happen? What did you do that got you that rating?
What did you do get a bad rating?
This dude is attorney I think.
What market is this?
Hello, I just started uber eats for three days already. How do you prove to the government when you manually write down the miles yourself?
I use the Everlance app to track mileage, but if you want to write down your mileage I would recommend a truckers log book. Find a gas station that services big trucks they will carry them.
Log your date and miles in the book
@@El3ment514 Thank You.. Yes I have been using the everlance app now.
Strategy.
I drive for both Uber Eats and DoorDash and I’m not seeing how any of these 7 things you’ve mentioned are specific to Uber Eats. They fit for pretty much all gig apps. I was hoping to see information about Uber Eats specifically from what your title said.
You work Seattle ?!
Used to
FYI...Uber tracks your miles for you.
Great point. They only track miles during a delivery, you’re able to deduct miles from the moment you leave your house until you finish your last delivery - so any miles on the way to your first offer or between offers would be left out of their calculation. That’s why I prefer to track my own.
@@Gignation can you export the miles that uber saves into a excel spreadsheet or pdf?
Can these miles be exported into a excel spreadsheet or pdf?

The best heat bag is Uber’s . I love it
Did you buy one from them?

What do you know of (new to my area) "UBER DIRECT" ?
Lock your bike, this could cause you -thousands! I got a 4k ebike stolen from me before starting a shift for Uber, because I dropped and lost the alarm controller. Not even a week after I lost access to alarm it was stolen! Thug probably used to transport blues! 😠
At what amount do you have to start paying taxes?
Once you earn over $600. You get a deduction for mileage so your taxes can be reduced quite a bit.
Show me how to apply Ebereats ? As soon as you get my question?
Just google it
Are u drunk?
what about your phone plan? Unlimited data?
I used to have 10g/month but I had to upgrade to unlimited when I started delivery.
First time seeing your video. I have a question: if you do door dash and Uber eats. Do you open a separate business accounts for each of them or open a single business account for both of them? Thank you for the helpful tips. New subscriber 😊 Great video 😀
One business account is enough
@@Gignation Thank you for answering my question. I asked other people the same question and they never responded back. I'm so glad that subscribed to your channel you are awesome 😊

I thought you already were on uber eats years ago
No only been a few months
I drove for Uber a few years back but it was before they even did food delivery
Oh nice
tbh ion know what people are talking about some tips are 1$ but some tips are 20$ people give what they can and i’m glad they rip at all no matter how big there house is. why are you all treating people differently because of there home they are humans with rights

It's very misleading to say you "made" $140. That was what you were paid. Unless your car runs on love and sunshine, you paid a bare minimum of $50 in gas ($85 if it were 2022 when this video came out). I don't know if the delivery apps pay CZcamsrs to talk up their services, but I don't have any other explanation for the BS testimonials I see on here.
Did 3.5 hours today for 8 trips. Made $46 in Miami.. yeah no thanks
You made 13 an hour just driving
That's not that bad
@@SuperCR45 you are so wrong. It’s not “just driving” ..I don’t feel like explaining it to you.. ..too exhausted after 7 hours of “just driving”
