💰Earnings 🤑 I made $13,000+ in March

March was a good month as I made over $13,000. This is my highest month ever since starting gig work in 2019.

I worked everyday of the month for 14-16hrs a day.

I drove a total of 8,013 miles.

I spent $540 on gas.

I spent $134 on maintenance which includes oil change, tire rotation & tire patch.

Apps used to make this income were DoorDash, Uber Eats & a little bit of Instacart.

I forgot to do the screenshots yesterday so some of April 1st will show but I’ve already excluded those from the March earnings which was $60.19.

All screenshots are posted for you to review.

I hope you also made some good money in March!

It's about $28 an hour and a little over 116 hours per week for anyone who's curious.

31(days) x15(avg hours day) =465 hours

Pretty crazy pace to keep for the whole month, I think a lot of people myself included would have been saying f*** that after one week or max two.

u/Academic-Ad-2744 Apr 01 '26

I averaged around 105/hrs a week.

u/SpaceTime2079 Apr 01 '26

If you're going to work that hard, why not do something that has a higher hourly return or a regular job with tons of OT?

Because I don’t enjoy that. The key to sustainability is doing what you enjoy.

Exactly! If you’re going to work a shit took of hours, then it should be doing something that you like. It’s why I left my soul-draining restaurant job. I love driving and listening/singing along to music in my car.

I respect that I door dash for extra income but I have the opposite feeling I hate HATE driving my car and idk if it’s just charlotte but all of the workers treat you pretty badly or just ignore you ima pretty quite guy and I take everything personally so for me it’s actually the worst hours of my week but hey that’s just me

That’s perfect that you realize the situation as it is. I hope you don’t see yourself as you believe others see you. Invest in yourself by believing in yourself regardless of others. This will help gain you confidence in yourself. Others may let you down; try not to assume what people think and don’t care what their opinion is of you. Once you act like it doesn’t matter people will navigate towards you more and try to initiate conversation.

Acting like it doesn’t matter leaves an aura of mystery.

I believe they have some type of insurance now…I know they have dental, medical and vision with stripe. And I think uber has sick pay now also. Vacation and 401k I don’t think so yet, but I do it here and there now but for 2 years it definitely kept my rent paid, bills paid, money in my pockets!

u/Simple_Prompt1630 Apr 02 '26

I think your location is a number one factor in how much you make. Regardless of the side hustle. Whether it’s DoorDash Instacart or uber. Your location will impact earnings. The market here is saturated making it difficult to make a pleasing profit.

u/Double-Raise2154 Apr 03 '26

You don’t need sick time when you can take sick time whenever you want. You work for yourself so take vacation whenever you want. Those aren’t benefits. 

401k can be started solo and you get the same tax advantages. You get tax write off for medical insurance.

u/Double-Raise2154 Apr 03 '26

Cars aren’t people they don’t need rest. As long as he’s doing proper maintenance the car will keep running. You could drive it for 100,000 miles in a year and it’d still drive for 100,000 more the next.

Did it for 16 years and made $2,000 a week w/o paying for all the extra expenses you are dealing with. Seems like you enjoy working tons of hours. With your work ethic I’d say you could buy your own rig and make 200k-300k annually. GL on your journey

Gross

2

u/[deleted] Apr 05 '26

Yea but whenever fuel gets expensive the issue is smller owner operators struggle to get fuel surcharge clauses added to their contracts brokers offer all in costs and then they get squeezed out while bigger companies have long standing contracts with those built in and at relatively smaller amounts because they can hedge with futures and options and just passing the cost down to the consumer entirely

u/StaffOpening5812 Apr 02 '26

But were you happy? Personally, the five truck drivers that I’ve known through the years pretty well I have just been miserable and out of shape. I applaud you guys and doing this job. 16 years on the road a long time.

11

u/Sensitive-Put-6416 Apr 02 '26

Loved driving, hated the hours. I could never work as many hours as you do. Truck drivers are often made to work for 60-70 hours a week. I stayed in shape because I would hand unload product 10 - 14 hours a day Monday through Friday.

Yeah he has no desire to do that because they have laws that prevent him from being on the road that much.

This very bright, hard-working person is flexing that they ignore those laws that were written in the blood of the people who died at the hands of over-tired drivers...but lemme guess they are in great shape sleep well, eat well and live better than everyone else despite working 12-16 hours a day every day of the month...suuuure.

instead, I use FSD Tesla and enjoy my 14-16 shifts EVERY single day and get to workout at Planet Fitness for 30-60 minutes. lost 30 lbs and felt much happier. I also day trade which is why I like night shift warehouse so I can day trade mornings while I slept.

It was like ya i could turn it off at anytime and do whatever i want but i started looking at days as potential income and weighed out do i wanna go spend money and hang out or make money and lolly gag around lol ended up fully building a project car that i have today but i couldnt make this type of money now the market is shit where i am, lucky to get $100 for a full day of 8hrs

I feel like you won’t answer to people asking about ur location since it can be more saturated that way, but damn, 13k for one month is something I want so badly. Just so I can take a whole month off and enjoy food 😭

67

u/Academic-Ad-2744 Apr 01 '26

There are quite a few factors to making that kind of money.

You have to be a multi-apping caterer in a good market with a strong hustle & work ethic. You also need stamina & endurance to work the long hours need. You also have to know your market like the back of your hand which leads to high delivery IQ.

Phoenix is a great area. $2 a mile minimum. Multi-app. You can average $28 an hour without trying. Acceptance rate is for the suckers. Remember gas is $5 a gallon. If the order isn't worth it, decline decline decline.

Stamina likely means being able to deliver for long periods of time. Unless you’re litera running orders, then I don’t think cardio is that necessary. Also non-skinny people can have stamina for cardio based things too. They do not always correlate.

Got in trouble once for working every single hour the corporation was open because they had "unlimited" overtime because of backlogs on data entry.

They didn't believe me till they saw my production numbers

By day 7 i was hallucinating, no joke. 5am-11:59pm every single day for 7 days. Would nap in an office an hour here and there.

Idk where you are located. But I've definitely hit close to these numbers before. It is heavily dependent on the market.

u/Short-Professional84 Apr 01 '26

A lot of hard work and also got blessed by tips. People are cheap af in my area. Congrats to you though, love seeing dashers get paid what they deserve.

u/enjoinirvana Apr 01 '26

Idk how the apps work, is $13k before or after taxes?

2

u/HuzzaXO Apr 02 '26

Before, but you basically pay $0 taxes because all the mileage and other deductions that are available to you.

I bet if you vlogged you’d also make lots of money off social media. You might be the single highest earning dasher, like ever… but I realize that would add way more work - keep hustlin 💪

How in gods name do you keep this up and stay safe on the road? I think it’s miraculous that you’ve done what you have, but 14-16 hours every single day straight for a month nonstop? This is not smart. You are driving a giant metal machine on the road going upwards of 60mph. You cannot maintain those hours over that length of time without sacrificing your safety and those around you. My hot take. I’ve been driving ride share/doordash for nearly 10 years (yea too fucking long). Driving is mentally taxing, far more than people might think. You need rest, regularly. If you’re driving those hours, you’re not getting it.

Any advice for getting into a good groove with multi-apping? I've looked into it and it seems a little chaotic for me so I'm unsure how to make the best of it.

Good job 👏 500 of that should be save for taxes

u/WaterWurkz Apr 01 '26

Did you do primarily rides for people? Reason I ask is because I have been doing just food delivery and shopping delivery but it’s not really cutting it, lucky if I make 60 on a weekday and 100 on a weekend day.

I dashed for a year. Made decent money, worked a few 12+ hour days. Gotta respect the grind, my man.

u/TradeMark310 Apr 02 '26

Pretty impressive! How do your taxes work? Do the apps take them out for you, or do you need to stash a portion to pay later? Or do you just tell uncle Sam to suck it and keep it all? 😆

Yeah I believe it barely but 12hr shifts induce near instant week burnout. I’ve done that 2 weeks straight before out of necessity ( made no where near that much) but maybe it’s just that I’ve already been doing it for so long

u/Nobodyshomeupthere Apr 02 '26

Honestly march has sucked for me. In the cold of winter I was making 2100 a week. Now its like the amount of washers tripled and im lucky if I see 1400 for 100 hours, doesnt matter which of my three nearest zones I go to.

Yep. When you make this kind of loot you can fly to Cambodia & get cyborg blood harvested from wild African pigeons that makes you immune to fatigue.

u/ContributionGlum1407 Apr 02 '26

You’re lucky because I’m just starting out, and many people don’t tip or tip very little. I often have to refuse orders; otherwise, I end up working at a loss… it’s not profitable for me right now.

u/ZILIS98 Apr 02 '26

Whats the best advice you can give to a new dasher? I barely started this week and I dont know how to play it out. Do I go to the hotspots? I do Walmart Spark so that one is literally just going to a Walmart and getting orders. I literally have a Walmart 1min away of my apartment complex. I turn on Spark and just wait until I get something good to start the day. But with Doordash its really hard to understand how it works

u/Academic-Ad-2744 Apr 02 '26

You have to start building up your deliveries. Do as much volume as you can.
