You were able to work your own hours. I was able to work here when I was able so I didn’t have to call in to miss work.
What I wish was different
Would of helped if postmates helped pay for gas since gas is expensive
Advice
It’s convenient doing bonus in the weekend . If you don’t do the bonus it’s not really convenient and you don’t make much

I really enjoyed the flexibility in this job. You can go out on deliveries whenever you choose to. There are also a lot of bonuses available.
What I wish was different
I wish that I had more deliveries.
Advice
My advice is to do deliveries during the bonus hours or busy times like around breakfast and dinner!

What I liked
Flexible hours, you make how much you work. It can be hard at times but overall rewarding.
What I wish was different
I was too impatient. Some days will be poor, the vehicle costs are not worth running around chasing heat maps. Find a spot that works, usually downtown, and stay there until jobs come your way. Be ok with bad days.
Advice
Figure out peak hours and define when you will work. Track your earnings and analyze the best times and places to find jobs.

What I liked
I had a very flexible schedule and I could work days and nights.
What I wish was different
Better pay, more demand in the area, and I wish I drove an electric car
Advice
Don't ever work for ride-share or food delivery companies. They only do damage to your own vehicle and make you run around for terrible wages.

Better logistics and efficiency when planning routes so I wouldn’t have had to drive so far

Food Delivery
July - August 2019 • Nashville, TN
What I liked
I made my own hours, I got to travel around town. Got to see a lot of different and diverse restaurants. Kept all of my tips.
What I wish was different
It is not the most popular delivery app, so sometimes business is slow, and you end up driving around town aimlessly.
Advice
Prime hours are 11am-3pm, 5pm-9pm. Keep track of your mileage (particularly from your house to your first order, your last order to your house - the app keeps track of the rest).

What I liked
How flexible the hours are. You basically get to choose when you work. This came in handy when I had to take time off to have surgery as well as any last minute plans I wanted to make
What I wish was different
Better deals.
Advice
Make sure you stay on top of going out. It can be easy to get into a habit of “I’ll go tomorrow” and you end up not going all week.
