    As an entrepreneur for almost 10 years you can save more in taxes as an 1099 independent contractor than a W2 employee.

    • @THESCALDEDDAWG
      @THESCALDEDDAWG 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You do not have to do a W2? So how has this worked in your benefit... filing 1099 instead? Looking into doing this. Thank you for the info Roland De Aragon! Do you have your living this way?

    I’ve been doing grub hub in the evenings for some extra cash. Love it. Especially restaurant orders. Today was my first big tip driving in the morning! $32 and it was the first order of the day.

    If a delivery request pop up and it's already way late, then I would just reject it. While doing Grubhub I don't accept any order request below $6. In my market we could work off block during the lunch and dinner hours and I usually make more than the minimum guaranteed by doing that. The only time I would accept an order with $0 tip is if either I am schedule for a block, the restaurant and customer are 3 miles away from my current location and the order is small.

    • @peteuploadsalotofvideos5928
      @peteuploadsalotofvideos5928  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      But doesn't rejecting a lot of orders hurt against your acceptance rate and future scheduling of blocks?

  • @mrf8514
    @mrf8514 7 ปีที่แล้ว +14

    Don't take this as tax advice and do consult a tax professional, but as an independent contractor I believe you can claim car mileage on your yearly taxes as long as you keep an odometer reading and mileage log for each block. So say for example you work a 6pm-10pm block and you log your car's odometer reading at the beginning and end of your block and the total miles are (hypothetically) 40 miles and GrubHub pays you for 12 of those miles, you can claim the other 28 miles (at 54 cents a mile) as a business expense for using your vehicle for business to offset your tax liability. In this one block scenario, that's an additional $15.12.

    Hey great video! Is finding curbside parking outside restaraunts a pain? Also, what about finding parking spots at businesses, hospitals, etc - any tips for making that easier?
    And does GrubHub pay you for using toll roads? Thank you

  • @garthlocklin6355
    @garthlocklin6355 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Maybe I should move; minimum wage here is $7.25. The older I get the less I make and the more crippled I get because I always had labor jobs. I used to drive Limo's in NY/NJ 22 years ago and a 15% tip was always included in the bill. Customers had the same "Cash" option back then and I would get screwed out of the tip most times, if they arranged that option. Their mentality is, "I will never see them again!" or "They knew the job was dangerous when they took it." Most Limo drivers are paid on a 1099 also so our options were 15% or 20% if the company gave you a car plus 15% tip or 40% plus 15% tip if you leased the car from them. The tip usually covered the expenses of gas, parking and tolls. I didn't get stiffed on the tip enough to complain but I was told, "If you expect to get a tip and don't you'll get pissed off. If you don't expect and tip and don't get one, you won't get pissed off." Lots of customers are business people too and their gonna screw everyone they can for a dollar.

    How on earth can someone be hired by Grubhub? I applied months ago and have heard nothing. They encourage you to email them with any concerns/questions. I've emailed them several times and heard nothing. Checked the spam folder and nothing. Called them several times, spoke to nice people, they apologized that I never heard back, but that's all they could say. I've met several people who live near me that drive for Grubhub and they love it. It seems impossible to get in touch with someone who can help or to get a solid answer as to why they haven't gotten back to me. Why do they make it so unnecessarily difficult? Feels like they are ignoring me.

  • @chrisgomez8707

  • @birdmanT7
    @birdmanT7 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Great video FOOD DUDE, I just started a month ago too and everything you said its happened to me too, you are right on all the points. I had one dooch bag last night who screwed me over a tip and he was rude too, its just always the rich fox who seem to be short on tipping, this is just part of the job I guess. over all i say it's a decent gig, I am only doing this until I get back to my other work and what I am worried about it's 1099 thing that I have never done before?.

    • @toddwampole1818
      @toddwampole1818 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    My first two weeks on grub hub i got to schedule blocks ever thursday at 2pm as an entry level driver. I worked hard for two weeks, occasionally the app would glitch out and it wouldn’t let me an accept an order. This rarely happened but did at times. Fast forward to pro status two weeks later. I now have access to the schedule on Friday at 10am. So I got a promotion, just missed premier by 1% and I have to schedule a day later than newbies. Something doesn’t seem right. I’m worried by friday morning no blocks will be left

    Pete I hear about a thing called blocks and how hard are they to get? How much advance notice do you need to give them if you need to drop a block for some reason so you are not penalized? I am in North Florida and I am thinking of applying. I will watch more of your videos to see what suggestions and ideas you have to offer.

  • @Bossmanjr7
    @Bossmanjr7 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    You are wrong, I off of work at 1:30 in the afternoon and was finishing up a job and still on the order at 1:40 and so they sent me 2 orders to pick up and I couldn't do it, so I got penalized because I was getting off of work and didn't pick up two jobs that to me is a bunch of crock!

    Question, you say that you write off the lease payments on your taxes? What does that mean? If I lease a car, I can get the payments back? All of it?

    • @davew4539
      @davew4539 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      No. It just means that you can deduct your payments for the year from your taxes. So with $2400 total year's lease payments, that's $2400 of your annual income that won't be taxed.

That's the very least that its worth for me to not have to drive across town in the middle of rush hour, motherfucking every braindead asshole on the road, with my kids in the backseat. Can't fathom people who stiff drivers because of a fee or because it says free delivery. Fuck that. Show appreciation for the time and stress that person just saved you.
