I don't. I make about 60-100 dollars doing a night's worth of job (In tips). That's about 6 hours a night which is pretty decent pay. The restaurant I work in is next to the campus and it gets crazy whenever college fever hits. Not that I'm complaining but it's good fast cash.

I do part time, best night was actually a 19 hour shift during a blizzard. $590 in tips, $114 in wages.

The best I've ever made in one day of delivering was 120 bucks, on 25 deliveries (our delivery is HUGE, about 40 miles by 30). I make $6.03 an hour, so I usually average $250 a week from my hourly pay, and around 250 a week in tips. I'm the top driver at our store.

My car hasn't taken much of a beating, other than the 23k miles I've put on it in less than a year. It's a 1998 Nissan 200sx, so I usually average around 30 miles per gallon driving in town an on our highways. I haven't had a problem yet, other than maintenence issues.

your max is 25 deliveries and you've been there 2 years? must be a slow store.

I guess you missed the part about the 40x30 mile delivery area - must be that selective reading again . And no, that hasn't been my max, but that's the time I made the most money.

 

[Pepsi90919]

a 40x30 mile delivery area would imply more deliveries, not less.

Yes, more deliveries, but also more area to cover which equals more driving which equals less deliveries per driver.

YOu only deliver during peak hours? We deliver from 10am until 1am.

 

[Pepsi90919]

our store has been open for 15 years and we serve about 2/3 of a town the size of 30,000 people, everyone's used to ordering between 4 and 9, 10, or 11. there are special cases when we do deliveries during the day, like for schools and public functions and whatnot.

 

[Crazymofo]

I deliver from 5pm till 3am on Sat! Pepsi, that place sounds like my hometown pizza place they didnt even open til 3pm...

No I have a get out of ticket free card in the form of a sign on the roof of my car! Where I deliver the cops have more important things to worry about...

Nope, never had too. Most cops will not pull delivery drivers over, especially since we advertise our 50% discount to the local law enforcement I speed everywhere, but it's almost always 10 miles over the speed limit, and do not hesitate to go around people who are speed limit huggers or going slightly below the speed limit. Late at night, when the roads are pretty much dead, I speed excessively. Never been pulled over, evAr. As Crazymofo said, the topper on my car is pretty much a sign to most cops not to pull me over. Every driver I've ever met, that has been pulled over, has never gotten a ticket from the incident.

they're illegal in ontario.

and when i had my civic when i could put the sign on the car, i would always do like 50 km/h over the limit, cops would fly out of their hiding spots and then just stop at the edge of the road.

awww you're just saying that cause I qouted you im my sig!

 

[pillage2001]

I just got pulled over 2 weeks ago for rolling a stop sign. I was wondering if you guys ever used one cause Chinese delivery guys are always 30mph above speed limit. :Q

I think I need to spend some cash to custom make a delivery ad for my car. Those where it lights up on top of the car.

 

[Thegonagle]

I usually take 35-50 deliveries per shift where I work now, but my best was 62 deliveries for around $260 tips and commission.

It's a great student job. My employer even offers health insurance, so I no longer go without.

how much is spent per day/month on gas?

can you easily hide the tips received from the government to aovid taxes on them?

I don't work for a chain.

Working 5 nights per week, I could make about $40,000 per year, give or take a few thousand, but it would burn me out. I work 3 nights most weeks. I figure I'm working at the best pizza place in my area for delivery drivers to make money, so I'm pretty much maxed out for what I do. That's why I'm finally serious about school.

I currently drive about 80-100 miles per night, about 4-5 gallons in my car, so that's $10 a night during a gas crunch. $6-8 is a more usual figure. Maintenance is a big deal though. Tires are expensive, and you'd best be knowing how to change your own brake pads. I collect oil change coupons these days, because I get one every 6-8 weeks.

Delivery commission is always paid out in cash, but that's declared on your pay-stub for you. As long as you declare 8% of your sales, they aren't ever going to touch you. (If the restaurant ever gets audited, and you don't declare adaquately, consider yourself audited at the same time.) If you do $500 in sales, and you declare $40, you're essentially in the clear. A lot of guys don't declare anything at all though, and they're still walking free, so if you want to, I'm sure it's very easy.

One guy I worked with at my last place was using his position to evade child support. Given that the boss married a single mom and basically adopted her kid, he wasn't having that. Once he figured it out, he was "made to quit" pretty quickly.
