      yeah it is very tricky. There's almost like a balance to it you want to be able to decline enough orders, but a lot of times in the diamond program you will make more money overall

    As top dasher (and also preparing for the new tier system coming my way), I’m newly experimenting with basically taking everything over 3 weekdays so that I can be freer to be choosier on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
    Just starting with that this week (starting after Labor Day), so I don’t know the experience just yet.
    Hopefully, with my AR already over 70%, even on the three weekdays, I can still get a large order in the evening enough times to offset some of the bad orders so that those weekdays aren’t pure torture (like hell week can be - trying to scramble from a very low AR to above 70%).
    But we’ll see.

      I like that strategy. I personally am torn. I make over 30 an hour when I'm in the diamond program but I can make the same and sometimes more when I'm not in diamond so I'm confused now 😂 today I did like $150 in 4 hours, current AR is 45%

    Inspired by you I went from 12% to 73% by taking just about everything. Once I got to 50% I did get more orders but most were still that $4-$7 type which I never took before. I did notice you don’t get as many ‘catering bag’ orders. My theory is you’re constantly on smaller orders so you don’t see them. I guess it comes down to how you want to dash. Stay busy with $20 orders to come along. Another thing is most of the ‘Diamond’ orders are the same ones I saw before just without the high pay label on them.

      I think Jacob’s got a point in experimenting now in preparation for the new tier system coming his way. The biggest change in that is that large orders are a part of the platinum tier (70%AR requirement).

  • @ju9piter
    @ju9piter ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Let's just be honest here. Doordash created "Top Dasher" so that drivers would carry no-tip and low-tip orders. That's the primary reason this program exists. Of course your hourly rate would decrease a little bit. I'm also curious how much your $ per mile rate decreased, because I would expect that would decrease a lot. The only thing that might go up is your trips per hour. They want you working! That's the other reason they created it...keep drivers moving. If it's less stressful to just work for one company and to accept 70% or more of the orders, then maybe this is the program for you. I know that I'm not interested in it, and I'm gonna keep cherry picking because I like to have control over where I drive and how much I'm making per trip!

    I became a top Dasher last week and was added to the large order program on Friday of last week. I immediately noticed a difference. My first two orders on Saturday morning or extremely high-paying. $58 for 30 minutes of work and $62 for a batch. I’m averaging at least $30 an hour for the past few days. I’m only a part-time Dasher, but I didn’t realize how easy it would be to get 100 deliveries in a month.

    The guys who make these videos never just want to flat out hammer and tell the honest truth how awful the TopTrasher program is because they have pipe dreams Doordash sees the video and slips them some money. Nothing against Jacob I'm not singling him out because I watch some of his vids he's a good guy, but that's the facts. Reality is Doortrash came up with a great scheme for "suckers" like he admits he is in the video, to take no tip orders and TH-cam dudes aren't the right guys to listen to on these feedbacks. Jacob has a hard time just flat out telling you it's not worth it, but as you hear in his vids (which he's one of the few I give a consistent listen to) he is an honest guy and tries to sweet talk it while admitting "I make less money but it's less stressful".

    I am floating above 50% and had dropped from over 70% and i am noticing a difference but it had been really bad for about a month and then i learned that could have been because some people were using a glitch i had no clue about that supposedly has been fixed (hopefully). Cause those regular dashers honestly were hurting with excessive lower order neglecting to put it gently, to get there acceptance rate up, while i am trying to do it the doordash way. I just basically accept anything thats $1 or more a mile because i draw the line at paying out of my gas pocket to deliver a customer their order.

  • @jeffw1267
    @jeffw1267 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Even a month may be too short to find the truth about being a Top Dasher, because statistical analysis requires large amounts of data. Like if you made a million deliveries as Top Dasher, and another million NOT being Top Dasher, both during the same time period, you could be confident in making a comparison.
    The problem is that Doordash is always changing the terms of the experiment, and you can't know HOW they are changing.
    The additional miles you drive while taking over 70% of the offers will incur a cost over time... but you're busier and so the time will pass quicker. You don't have to stress so much while sitting there and declining orders and making nothing.
    I think in the near future, Doordash will set up the algorithm so that cherrypickers will not be able to make a living. We'll see.

    • @carolinejordan12
      @carolinejordan12 ปีที่แล้ว

      Top Dasher or the Platinum rating is a reward for picking up the order and delivering it in a timely and efficient manner.
      I've seen drivers with a stacked order pick up one order and leave because the second wasn't ready. That's just rude to the customers. I've seen drivers cancel orders because the order wasn't ready.
      What I would like to know is how people navigate multi app orders.

    Good series. Though most of the time I see these comparisons they only talk of earnings and not necessarily profit when all the longer mileage orders have to be accepted to maintain your rate. When I started I felt miserable having to take like 10 mile offers in the middle of a metropolitan area though I did get way more offers which I fixed through just multi-app.

  • @Derby_City_Dasher

    I don't know if this true or not, but hearing from drivers that were in the traditional LOP before the tier system reached their market if if they drive to a zone that doesn't have the tier system in their market they get the LOP back as it seems it's not in all zones within a market (as of yet)
    I just got in the LOP after a year and a half on the waiting list. So I hope it takes a long time to reach my market and maybe it will earn by time has been around for awhile and it still hasn't reached my market.
    I have a theory that Doordash is letting more drivers in the traditional LOP in markets that don't have the tier system to give them a taste of it so when the tier system hits their market they will be incentivized to pursue the tier system to get it back, but that's just my speculation.

Since being in the diamond program I've noticed a difference in that I am getting more higher priority orders than I was prior. I don't know if this is true in all markets but in mine it definitely is. With having to keep that acceptance rate above 70 that means I can no longer cherry pick and I have to take these miserable peoples non-tipping orders.

I plan on getting a honda civic etc.. something with better gas mileage etc.. But yeah someone has to take the garbage because customers need to be served. There is no obligation to tip and as the economy crumbles as the dollar bill crashes I could only imagine more customers will claim there food was never delivered or a bunch of customers that leave no tips. Is it that Door dash has 40% of customers that order door dash is because they ''themselves'' cant afford to drive to get there own food and take advantage of the service? I been searching to see if accepting garbage pays out in the end, I mean is there really an award? An award to pay that driver more and better orders. But how can there be better orders if people can buy a program called gig sheild and steal the orders? Its like playing video games, people can buy hacks that can slaughter other players?
