What a delivery app pays once the car is paid for
The advertised hourly figure usually counts only active time and never counts the car. Here is how to work out your own number from one week of records.
Gig work
App and platform work, 1099 pay, the costs that come out of it, and what flexible really means.
1099 or W-2: six differences that reach your bank account
The tax is the visible difference and rarely the biggest one. Six things change when work is paid on a 1099, and the label does not decide which you are.
What to track when your car is the job
Your app's mileage number was built to describe what the platform can see, not to be your record. The driving on either side of it is yours to prove.
Running two apps at once without losing money on either
A second app does not double your offers. It doubles your decisions, and the money is made in the dead time, not while you are carrying someone's order.
Deactivated: what a platform account closure is, and what an appeal needs
An appeal is not a hearing. It is a request to reopen a file, and it only works if you saved the records while your account still opened.
Acceptance rates, quests and the bonus that moves the number
A bonus does not pay you extra for the work you were already doing. It pays you for changing what you accept, and that change is where the money goes.
