Reply to comment by [deleted] in i deliver full time on all 3 apps, doordash, grubhub, & uber eats i can answer any questions you below by [deleted]

I would like your perspective though - yes we can use a stick/cop but is there a carrot/incentive that may work too - it sounds like at least the delivery companies are partially to blame by rewarding delivery drivers who are just fast without checking if the rider obeyed the law. Would it help if lawmakers made all delivery companies register their delivery riders (bike plate) so that the general public and customers can log complaints with the delivery company directly as well when a bikers breaks the law? Alternately can the company require webcams on bikes with AI to detect traffic violations? On the rewards side can the drivers who obey all traffic laws have an automatic salary hike or lower unassignment probability score? Those are just some of my thoughts.. open to hear ideas from your perspective how we can get all delivery bike riders to obey the laws besides the cops.. thanks

i love where you took this.

i'm all for making all parties more accountable but at who's expense? i'd guess the driver's mostly. to add to the point you're making, this service was a necessity at a time when we couldn't step out of our homes...it's essential/front line work, aside from the big time saver, as cooking can be burdening and time-consuming.

as i commented on a later thread, these apps should have more eligibility requirements or at least a brick and mortar were we can commune and be a part of a or the community in understanding how the city operates as far as laws, good conduct, hospitality, etc. because it's all pretty vague rn. the issue arises when the level of accountability steers us from a private contracting gig to a w-2. in which i choose the latter.

i strongly believe making this work a w-2 would make it much worse and costly for all everyone.

this all gets complicated and costly it looks like.

Re: w2 - drivers should be given a choice of w-2 or not .. don't need one to train and follow the laws. .agreed on better training and requirements. And the companies should be held more accountable for those
