Tips for Maximizing Your Pay
If you decide to become a Driver, there are ways to increase your pay. For example, stacking up your deliveries to minimize drive time, or going to “hot spots” — locations where a lot of deliveries are being made. Using an app like Waze can also minimize your travel time. And experts say that if you actually give the customer the receipt for their order, you’ll be much more likely to get a good tip.
