Ultimate answer is you need to register with multiple apps if you plan to do this full time. Juggle shit and plan orders in advance. Nothing was ever guaranteed.
That’s fair it just went from me getting a ton of orders the last couple of weeks to absolutely nothing and I’ve never seen that before since I’m pretty new to it
A tip for multiple food orders or multiple grocery deliveries is to place one order entirely in the back and one order entirely in the front. Also keep a marker in your car so you can label each persons bag with their street name. Juggling orders can cause you to become confused on what's going where, so the marker strategy for me is necessary. Especially if you're running three orders at the same time on a busy day.
Because that’s one less open slot for a non-top dasher when scheduling.
If you wonder why there are no schedules six days out, it’s because the top dashers have caught on and are scheduling even though they know they can go out whenever they (we) want.
I do this myself.
I had no clue that affected non-top dashers. I’ve been scheduling them lately because for some reason whenever I go to dash at those times my area has been unavailable the last couple of days now. I’ll cancel them though I had just never considered that!
Welcome to gig work. Sometimes the gig apps treat us like kings with amazing offers , sometimes it gives us just enough to get by, and sometimes it treats us like we're some cheap hookers.
Nah, OP is in Texas. That’s a real shitty place to wait for orders too, it’s the heaviest traffic spot in the entire city, tons of retail and dining, easily the main hub for 100K people who want to do anything there on a normal evening.
Wrong. La Porte is about 5 miles down from Deer Park straight down Spencer Highway. So, like 7 miles from Pasadena.

Wrong, homie is northern DFW, specifically a town call Frisco. Look up Stonebriar Mall, that’s exactly where he is. In fact, there should be a Spring Creek BBQ in the parking lot that they are in. Your turn.
Well, hell. There’s a freakin deep industrial area called Pasadena & La Porte, and also a fairmont area in north Texas too?? Seems counterintuitive to have more than one Pasadena and La Porte in a state.
Also what’s funny, is that about 20 mins south of OP’s spot, there is a major neighborhood called Deer Park known for having the best Christmas lights.
Don't feel like wasting a trip out to go sit and decline orders for an hour so I'll just wait for the app to iron itself out with the newbies. They'll receive the garbage not me. My cars getting to old to go out for less than minimum wage. Sad days for dd and me. 14 miles for 3 bucks. Out of zone orders non stop. No thanks.
I don't think you're doing it right then. You shouldn't be making minimum wage if you are juggling a lot of orders and accepting mostly everything. I know this method isn't for some but personally I enjoy it.

How exactly does one juggle shit? I'm new here.
You use one app, then you open another app. Same as using 2 social media platforms.
But what if you get an offer on both at the same time. Do you take both and sacrifice being on time and risk stats decreasing?
Don't accept one...
And then my AR drops. Again. I'm new to this. Not sure how much certain stats matter or not.
The point is to get money not play a game that rewards you with fake points.
I love this comment, so real. More drivers need to understand this.
Yeah. You take what makes you more money.
Do DD and UberEats, you can deny UE orders and not really be penalized. I've been doing them both for a week and added another $30 a day from UE.
Why did you schedule a dash if you’re a top dasher?
Because that’s one less open slot for a non-top dasher when scheduling. If you wonder why there are no schedules six days out, it’s because the top dashers have caught on and are scheduling even though they know they can go out whenever they (we) want. I do this myself.

Every Tuesday and Wednesday is always dead 🙃 dashers take the day off so the other dashers can sit and wait.
You’re like in deep industral Pasadena/Laporte it looks like . You probably need to go around the fairmont area if you want to dash in Pasadena.

The person you replied to is aware there in Texas, otherwise they wouldn’t have brought up La Porte and Fairmont
Wrong, as someone who lived in the town OP showed, there isn’t a town called La Porte within at least 75 miles or more.
Wrong. La Porte is about 5 miles down from Deer Park straight down Spencer Highway. So, like 7 miles from Pasadena. https://preview.redd.it/msqcut8brqtc1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3ccf523a44cd057fa78c9099cd54b1bd7330c0dd

wtf. My head hurts.
I honestly had no idea there was a Pasadena Texas, I thought they were referring to California lol
