Driving a personal vehicle for a business is not cheap. The costs can be surmounting as the price of gas and maintenance takes about 25-30% of a drivers earnings. Often this is the only vehicle a driver may own and with all of those miles racking up, it can be difficult to continue delivering food for a full or part time job.
One would be amazed at how many orders are placed at a charge anywhere as low as $2.25 to $5. The majority of these will not be accepted by an experienced driver as the mileage driven could be as far 5 to 8 miles! Savvy customers who leave a fair and reasonable tip on the app prior to their delivery will usually be guaranteed a prompt delivery while assuring the delivery driver that it is worth the trip.
