I worked 2 hours today. made like $25 riding my bike. only did 3 deliveries. 2 were for chipotle, and one was for oysters from a kinda fancy restaurant. This i the first time I have actually delivered in almost a month. I been traveling a lot on weekends so I was busy. then the other couple times I went out, I wasn't getting ANY calls for jobs. so today, I actually went on the schedule, to insure myself I'd get a job. was pretty fun tho. signed up for another shift this weekend working midnight shift on friday. plus I need to be riding my bike, since I hurt my calf muscle on saturday and can't run without pain.

found this bike on craigslist for $100. bout to go cop it sometime this evening. my current bike is raggedy as I have been riding it for like 7 years YEARS (bought that one used as well) and have probably put a few thousand miles on it.
also dude told me he swapped the fender out for a rack, which is a bonus!

Got a delivery for $400 bottle of ace of spades .. Didn't accept it cuz I have a temporary pex card with a $100 max
if they tipped me like 20% of that delivery I would of been eatingSo I went to the office and asked em for a card with my name on it.. Since I have over a 100 deliveries they said they would order me one,, should be coming in a few weeks,, now I can do big money deliveries without having to call customer support to add additional funds
is this similar to those uber drivers?
yeah. It's one of those service apps. They're like the big craze in the valley. A lot of money being thrown at these services. There's one for house cleaning, laundry, etc. This one is for like food deliveries and miscellaneous things like that.

@observe you still doing this?
I only do it like once a month with it being cold. after two hours of bike riding in 30 degree weather my feet start to get real cold.
I scheduled myself for 2 hours, and ended up doing 2 1/2 hours cuz the last job I took was at 3:58 and I was scheduled off at 4pm. anyways, made like $55 total which wasn't bad for a short amount of work. however, this could NEVER be anyone's main hustle. it's too tiring, and too much work. and jobs where you have to get an order from a restaurant really suck cuz you can't do another job at the same time while you're waiting on the food. however, if you plan on riding your bike anyways, it's cool since you kill two birds with one stone.
and yesterday they had a promo where customers could have a free 6 pack of beer, and that had it really busy yesterday.

I got a personalized pex card like 2 weeks after I first started. They automatically ordered me one. yesterday, my final delivery was a HUGE order from a greektown restuarant that was like $180. even with the personalized pex card, I still had to contact support cuz my card would was not able to charge that $180 for some reason and they had to add funds.
luckily I took that job right as my shift was gonna end. the place where it was to be delivered would have been an 8 mile round trip which I didn't feel like riding, plus I couldn't ride with that much stuff. however, I was right by my car, and the restaurant was literally 2 blocks away from where I parked, so I ended up doing that last job via car and then I went home.
even tho gas is cheap again these days, I wouldn't recommend doing this via car. especially out here where you have to do so many downtown deliveries where there is no parking. plus I'm not about putting unnecessary wear and tear on my whip.
