DoorDash - Dasher 12+

The Dasher App itself is very good, works smoothly, and I love the ability to DoorDash and make money in my free time. It is even convenient that Google maps is built in, making it one step easier to go location to location. The only problem, however, is that Google maps itself doesn’t work well at all. At least once almost every single order Google maps tells me to turn too early or too late, is confused for the first minute of the drive and has me turned around, or takes me to the wrong address. Yesterday for instance, it took me to the completely wrong side of an apartment complex, and later in the night took me to the wrong trailer of a sketchy trailer park, where a man who was clearly intoxicated was hostile towards me for walking the neighborhood trying to find the correct trailer because Google maps was wrong. Although thankfully I was not harmed, things could’ve gone much worse very easily, and it could’ve been avoided if Google maps had simply done its job correctly.

All that to say, I’m super grateful for DoorDash, but can’t trust Google Maps and it risked my life last night, which isn’t something I prefer to have happen. The feature of having maps in the app is helpful, but I think Google Maps needs to improve, or DoorDash needs to switch map partners.

I have been doing door dash on and off now for over a year. I am now starting to do it in the evening again. Finally on the orders that are going far are paying enough money to take. You have to b able to make 1.00 per mile to make money with the cost of gas right now. And the heat I live in Fort Worth it has been over 110 every day I try to stay with in a 10 mile range. But when you send me an order that pays 2.59 and goes 20 miles out I am going to turn that down. It ia not worth taking. But I have to respect you. Last year in the winter when the doordash driver got killed here you shut the app down . You are the only company besides Lyft to do that it showed you cared about your employees and not putting them in harms way but we need to make more money on these runs for sure. The cost of living is why high gas is almost 3.60 a gallon here. Food is costly as well. I appreciate you and am making decent money for my side job. But I’d I had to do this full time I probably would b like the last person and losing everything no one should ever b put in that position and I Also noticed that I’d I get into another zone I get orders there as well which is great because it used to b I had to drive back to the zone. It would b nice to see bonuses offer in my area I see them all over Dallas Fort Worth but never in north Fort Worth. Just show you appreciate us. But I am enjoying myself and I like the updates that have been done

I have been using Doordash now for a little over a year to make extra money on the side. It’s not a bad gig to do. I enjoy it on the days. I make good money. There are some days I just feels like there are way too many Dashers in the area and we don’t make any money at all and you can all day long Only updates I would like to see is when you give me a pick up time to pick up from a restaurant in a town that has stoplights give me longer than two minutes to get there some of the stoplights in my town 2 to 3 minutes just to get through and that’s depending on traffic or I might need to go turn around and go back cause I got a order as soon I past the restaurant Also would like to see the Apple car play work in my region which is Greensburg Indiana. The second update I would like to see is that Doordash not take their drivers so far outside of the zone unless it’s for a set amount every time it should be a automatic agreed amount between customers and Doordash to take your Dashers more than 10 miles outside of town during that time we lose that on money we lose out on orders and sometimes people just take the order because they have to. They’re broke. They need the money for four dollars for 15 miles or for eight dollars for 15 miles is honestly just not worth it agreed amount between DoorDash and customer to go over 10 miles out of town should automatically be a dollar a mile. And that’s whether they give a tip or not.
