Most Dashers would count the miles back. 🤔 But what if you don’t have to drive them back for FREE?

This $26.86 Pizza Hut stack took me outside my DoorDash zone and I knew that before I accepted it.

But I also knew the area.

Instead of only asking, “Where is this order taking me?” I was thinking about what I could catch NEXT.

Sure enough, I caught another order that started paying me to come back. 🎯

That’s why I don’t automatically double the mileage on every order that takes me away from where I want to be.

Sometimes you’ll deadhead back.

Sometimes you can get paid coming back.

The difference is knowing your market well enough to judge the probability.

Do you automatically count the miles back, or are there areas in your market where you know you can catch another order? 👇🏽

Is there a way to switch which customer you deliver first? Sometimes it has me pass up one customer to deliver to the second and it doesn’t make sense but I don’t know how to switch which delivery happens first

The one thing I have found good about DD is when they take me waaay out of zone, they WILL give me orders to guide me back to my zone. Works everytime👍

In a perfect world. My zone only one spot ,if you cross zone you'll get a offer back. East west no zones. North only the north west corner. South lol nope 500 delivery there zero orders coming back. And those customer suck. I deny 98% of them. 12 miles 8 of them are out of zone. Most offers are 5 to 7$ 😂😂

If I go out of Zone I pause my dash so I get back to the hot zone
