r/dasher

This stupid ass app is glitching terribly today. It’s starting dashes and accepting orders without me doing any of that. It’s already dropped my completion rate 2% today because of this. I’ve had to call support 2 times when I noticed it was happening to get unassigned from 2 orders that are 3 hours away from where I live in a market I used to dash in. I even deleted the app just to try to stop it and next thing I know I’m getting a text saying that I’m not moving towards the order! What in the actual fuck DD?

I dashed 4 years ago in my hometown and I was getting BIG money, like 5 dollar tips, multiple orders, huge ratings, money tips, but now that I'm dashing In PA, I'm making 10 dollars an hour.

I genuinely don't get it, I do an order, then after I finish it, I get a 10 mile delivery that I obviously decline because base pay is under the milage I'm gonna use, and after I decline, its a 10-20 minute wait for another 3-4 dollar order.

Im in a busy city, bustling with orders, maybe too many dashers? What has actually changed with this? any time I get 10 dollars, it goes towards gas, so my only true profit is from a busy hour where I make 20, I'm so annoyed

I recently started door dashing (its my 4th week now) and was surprised to know about the pay adjustment in Ontario and British Columbia (Canada). DD only tells you on Monday when your week is complete. So I created this calculator/goal tracker and looking forward to feedback from our real drivers.

What I was trying to solve?
- Set a goal tracking which includes pay adjustments but excludes tips.
- What if I want to earn more? I should know how much extra cash will i receive for my active hours?

Any drivers from British Columbia who could tell me if they get to know the mileage for the current week? I read in the law that drivers get extra 0.35 CAD for every KM they cover.

For uber eats - I am currently developing it. I have the calculation but need to figure out some kinks.

All feedback is welcomed. And it's absolutely free and no data tracking at all.

I just picked up Pho from a small local Pho shop. They are super nice folks there. They are speedy and efficient. But the thing is- they always stack their orders- typically containers of soup that are prone to leakage, very high. This causes them to be tippy and a quick turn or break tap because of a bad driver on the road (sometimes me, if I'm being honest, lol) and it's topple over time!

So, I'm just wondering, as a driver- what are the types of items that you least prefer to pick up?

Hi all, I am new to DD but am a Platinum Tier driver and have the 20 store pickups completed BUT every time I go to a store and it demands that I pay with my Red Card and I use it as a Credit Card, it is taking the money from MY account. Every person at support I speak to is either entirely clueless or tells me a different story. This one I am on the phone with now thinks that I just have to pay and then submit a refund request each time that cant be right? So far I am $150 in the hole and I can't continue to buy groceries for customers!

Can ANYONE tell me how I am supposed to pay for DD grocery pickups without ME paying? I thought DD put money in my account before I went to the store but that clearly isn't true. Then I thought I used it as a CC and DD would be charged but now it seems that I just have to buy the groceries and then spend ages trying to get a refund. I don't want to stop doing store runs but I feel like I can't afford to continue!

Thanks for any help!

Edit. Thanks for the help all. I finally got to speak to a supervisor and she's doing it all for me and refunding and I ordered a physical red card to go with my virtual one and I will try to be less of a dummy in future.

Edit 2. Thanks to whoever downvoted this. Charmed, I'm sure!

I got a contract violation a little over a month ago. I only really dash on my days off, so I don't really get to get that many deliveries. This is the first day I've driven after my contract violation has fallen off, and I'm making money just like I did before the contract violation hit, before I was scrambling to even get a good order. Like I would have to decline like three four five bullshit orders just to get one good one. And I refuse to believe that's just chance that I had basically spent a whole month of hating door dashing until I magically start getting orders that I normally get before I got my contract violation. I have always believed that contract violations affect your account and your ability to receive orders. How? I'm not sure. It might just take you out of the priority pool for all I know. And I kind of think that opinion holds some weight because I have never seen that high paying order banner show up on any order I ever received during that last month of door dashing. But I'm seeing it practically every other order now, like I used to before the contract violation. So I refuse to believe anybody who says that contract violations don't affect your account. Because they may not in your area, but they definitely do where I live.

I can't seem to lower the volume. Volume buttons on my phone work but there's no change in volume.

Since I hang out in the library while waiting for offers I really need to lower the notification.

Any ideas? It used to be fine.

I thought in the latest Dasher update where they rolled out their new ratings formula. The Dashers were going to be able to block restaurants for three weeks at a time. I haven’t been able to block a restaurant. I don’t wanna pick up orders at raising Cane‘s, I don’t think I should have to fill the drink cups. I haven’t been given an option to block them.

Been working since yesterday and my AR was at 98%, everything was going great. But ever since last night, I’ve been getting nothing but terrible orders: $4 for 8 miles, $3 for 6 miles, 4$ walgreens orders for 20+ items and etc. In just one day my AR dropped to 89%, which has never happened before in my 600+ deliveries. Anyone else experiencing something similar lately?
