Do you actually make any money doing Doordash? Between gas, wear and tear on your car, and just overall time, how much are you really making?

trust me i consider all these things. i dont do this full time so i have the luxury to only take high paying orders.

im also lucky enough to live near a plaza and many stores. (ramsey, mahwah) so i dont need to leave my house to start my shift.

This morning i did a $9.75 order going 3 miles. these are the only ones i’ll take. they add up at the end of the year.

i also do it for the tax deductions. my w2 job takes alot of money out of my paycheck.

I do it on a bicycle sometimes (so that slashes the gas/maintenance costs). I can make about $70-100 a day, maybe $200 on a good day.

Not worth quitting your job for, but it's something to do if you got time to kill.

Then again, I'm in Hudson County, not the suburbs

Semi related note, what's up with Uber Eats 'drivers' listing as bicycle but showing up in a car. Are they gaming the system somehow?

Not familiar with Uber Eats, so I can't provide a correct answer on that one.

I believe if you sign up as a cyclist, they don't check your driving record.
