    I mean honestly 200 in a night really is not bad at all. Think about the alternatives of where you’d be able to get a part-time job working the same amount of hours and come anywhere close to earning that kind of money.

      Ya, but you gotta factor in the higher taxes, as I’m sure it ends up being a 1099, you’re looking at a third gone right there. Insurance money, both for the car and health insurance. Gas money, and finally wear and tear on the vehicle. Be lucky to clear 40$ off 200 when it’s all said and done.

      In order to make that, I have to go to a city 45 minutes away. So that’s 15 in gas to get to work. Then I’ll spend around 65 on gas for dashing. Then 15 back home. And I’ll need to pay taxes out of the remaining, plus wear and tear on the vehicle. It’s not as bad as it could be, but it’s not as good as it sounds, either. The solution is to make dashers employees with healthcare and everything else.
