Join me for more urban biking adventures as I take on Uber Eats and DoorDash in Chicago. While I've wrapped up the 80-delivery challenge, I'm still exploring the city on my bike and sharing my food delivery experiences.

Wow. You're really accepting low orders. I bike dinners in uptown Dallas TX, which has so much high paying demand that I never accept orders below $8. Usually can make between $70-90 for a three hour dinner shift.

@EddieBenitez3 6 ай бұрын

Gosh I wish I could get consistent orders of $8 or higher. If I decline the small orders I would be stuck biking around for an hour doing nothing. So I would rather accept a low payout and have something to do. Also another reason I want to grow the channel so I can depend on the KZfaq money if I have a bad day delivering food.

@tmkelly 6 ай бұрын

@@EddieBenitez3 have you tried finding the rich / more upscale parts of Chicago and just focusing there? I’ve noticed that by waiting near high end restaurants there’s a lot of orders at meal time and tips are a lot better than normal fast food

@EddieBenitez3 6 ай бұрын

@thomaskelly1886 yes at this point I feel as if I have tried it all. When Uber first started out here it was amazing. But it’s started declining. There are some great days but it’s never consistent. I try to multi app as much as possible but that requires skills that I would need to build over time. Not giving up though I like this job. Beats the office job I held for 11 years.

No hay problema en absoluto. Tomar baños en agua helada es una forma de terapia de contraste que ayuda a reducir la inflamación y acelerar la recuperación muscular. Después de un largo día de entregas en bicicleta, especialmente con el estrés en las piernas, encuentro que ayuda a aliviar cualquier tensión y mejorar la circulación. Además, ¡suele ser refrescante después de un día de trabajo! 😅🚿

Corporations that pollute with co2 can purchase carbon credit from those doing something that does not pollute. Effectively giving them the right to pollute while helping those doing something that does not pollute. Any cyclist riding to work can collect a small amount while riding an e-bike to and from work. But you should be able to collect for all the miles you ride your e-bike for work. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/e66He9N2zazYeIk.html This video will tell you about TerraQuest and their software to make it easier @@EddieBenitez3
