r/dasher

This was only my second time dashing, I shouldn't have accepted the offer, I've learned my lesson. But I accepted an order that I only realized afterwards was 54 miles round trip, 27 miles to the customer's apartment. How the fuck are people even ALLOWED to place DoorDash orders that far away? There's no restrictions? Hello?? This was completely on me, but I still want to complain that the customer was even allowed to place an order this far away.

my drivers license expires tomorrow (today is my bday) so I went to PA to get my new license and tried to upload that into the app. I was told by DoorDash support that I could go into settings to do it, and when that didn’t work, they directed me to the background check place (checkr). The background check place let me know that anytime a drivers license is renewed, It takes about 30 days to process in the system and that I am unable to dash for the next month. Obviously, I’m not quite sure what to do here. Like it is literally my birthday, and this is the last thing I was expecting to happen. At this point, I think I can submit an unemployment claim while I look for another job, but has anyone else experienced this? I feel like this is totally loss of wages. I’m just not sure what to do about it.

To the people that have an acceptance rate of 5% or less and/or have hit 0% before, how much does an order have to pay for you to actually take it? Is it a minimum dollar amount or a dollar amount per mile? How much can you expect to make per hour?

How long do yall sit in a zone before moving to a different one due to no offers? Are the zone offer wait times always accurate? I’m fairly new to dashing! TIA 😊

The DoorDash app won’t let me put in my preferred name.

For context I’m trans. My preferred name is a feminine one. Whenever I enter it the app tells me something went wrong. But if I put in the shortened version of my masculine birth name, no problem! Updates immediately!

Anyone know how to handle this? Will support do anything?

ETA: I wasn’t able to get my preferred name in, but it seems that the app will accept arbitrary shortened versions of first, middle and last names. So I’ve shortened it to the first letter of my last name 😂

Thinking of working 5 days a week 10 hour shifts. Honda crv 2011 . Im assuming the only maintenance id have to worry about are oil changes every 2 months. Breaks and tires once a year? The lights i can mostly do them myself and places do it for 20-30$ if anything, i think the maintenance isnt expensive at all, what do you guys think? Am i wrong?

I also have no bills at home, just liability insurance, i have a dash cam and drive very very careful and slow

A fellow dasher I know has a new problem he can't solve as his account is on review. He has no criminal record, no accidents, insurance is up to date with state farm. He's been experiencing a lot of weird things happening to his dasher account. He was one of those cars pretending to be an ebike. All of a sudden he's getting long range orders and no short ones. He has it set to ebike but it keeps giving him long range orders. His ratings are typical with the acceptance near 65. He is still a platinum dasher. He keeps taking the highway and speeding through streets to complete deliveries. All of a sudden his account is under review. No cv sent. No way to login to dash it just says under review. It's been 4 days and he still log in.

Is anyone else pretending to be an e-bicycle dasher with a car? Has your account been doing weird stuff like your acceptance rate going down because you missed an order? Or suddenly getting far deliveries you don't normally see? Has your account suddenly been placed under review seemingly indefinitely?

Dashcam, sticker, one pee bottle, pizza bag, umbrella for when it rains, second phone incass other internet messes up gps. I have all those anything else?
