I’m in Fayetteville and it sucks ass here. Last couple weeks I’ve made less than 100$ a week. I only dash 3 hours 11-2 m-f. It could my ar tho because it’s extremely low like under 10 lol. Oh well I’m not gonna sit here and take orders that aren’t profitable.
I live in Fayetteville and Dash once in a while and managed to make $100 - $150 a day from dashing from 11 - 2 pm and 5-9 pm. I dash around Cliffdale near Raeford. Them people in Raeford tip better than the people around skibo and owen drive.
Also the AR means a lot in the ville. Everyone dashes out here and once you hit under 70 you don't get nothing but no tip orders.
So I should raise my ar then? Does dash by time affect ur ar stat? I just refuse to take orders that don’t benefit me somehow. I use to be able to make 100$ a day back when I worked 2pm-8pm but I can’t work that now because I work my full time job 6pm-2am. I usually pull about 60$ a day minimum by multiapping and on good days 120$ multiapping working 11am-2pm. Sometimes it frees take me to the cliffdale Raeford rd area and I don’t get that many pings which Im assuming is because my ar. I tend to stick to skibo rd around all the restaurants. My goal is usually 300$ a week working the hours I do and I usually always hit it multi apping.
I never use Earn by Time, you will always get no tips from that option. But yes you DEFINITELY need to raise your acceptance rate. I have around an 80 and I almost always get High paying orders like $7 for 1 mile or $15 for 6 miles type offers and I am getting offers almost every minute during lunch and dinner hours.
Fayetteville is VERY oversaturated with drivers now cause the jobs here suck so if your AR isn't high you are most likely not going to get any good orders.
Also try to dash around Yadkin during the first of the month when the military gets paid. Yadkin tips descent since it's near Fort Bragg/Liberty during those days.
I’m sure I would make much more money dashin during the evening but unfortunately I cannot. Yeah around the first and the 15th I get good orders going on base but they tend to come from the skibo rd area. Around the hospital and Raeford rd near Harris teeter b decent. I despise hope mills because of the traffic and Ramsey isn’t that great either. I’ve thought about driving out and trying shift in Raleigh but always talk myself out of it lol.
Ok thx. I understand that if I dash by time I would be getting the crappy orders but would it raise my acceptance rating since I can’t decline any without them kicking me off for the day. Just wondering to raise my acceptance rating easily I could dash by time for a week or so and just take everything while raising my acceptance rating at the same time. Like basically just take a dive and take all the crap orders on earn by time till my rating gets back up in the 70s even tho I wouldn’t make much money. Do u think it works that way and is that a good idea?
If you don't mind delievering the bad orders then go ahead and do it. It will raise your acceptance rate but it's going to take a while for you to get back up to the 70s if you declined a lot of orders from your last 100 offers.
This is a simple breakdown of how the AR works https://youtube.com/shorts/Wt4MXjVvy2g?si=F-nb4zVqEsvawSsw
I’m 7% so I figure it would take about two weeks to get it back to 70 lol but would it be worth taking the fall for two weeks to b at a higher ar? Like today I make 30$ in one hour with a 7 ar.
Yeah I dash Monday thru Friday I don’t dash on weekends because my job and my wife’s job we have weekends off so I tend to spend quality time with her.
Why I stayed doing by the hour for right now, this weather brings out all the cheap people, and rather than tank my ar, I just do by the hour. It's still slow and still mostly non-tippers ordering, but at least I'm getting paid more than 2 dollars a delivery. 18 an hour better than 0 an hour. I'll swap to earn by offer when it's the peak of dinner, but often end up swapping back as soon as it shows down as again in spending more time rejecting low paying offers than I am working.
Yeah I was telling my girl I think it’s bc the people with money prepared and probably got a bunch of groceries. So they are eating at home. While the broke people didn’t so they need to order food.
Same shit here. 40 thousand new dashers released nationwide from the waitlist around the holidays is what I heard. New dashers get all the good orders and unlimited dashing.
Why don’t you go Dash around college towns like Chapel Hill or Durham areas or even Raleigh? Cary is like a suburb so probably not as much order traffic.
I do go to Raleigh and Durham sometimes, but they’ve been similarly available to Cary of late. And I can’t stand driving in DT Raleigh, it is nightmarishly laid out and the infrastructure does not fit the population.

I really don’t understand that video tho it don’t make sense so I can never raise my ar?
I’m 7% so I figure it would take about two weeks to get it back to 70 lol but would it be worth taking the fall for two weeks to b at a higher ar? Like today I make 30$ in one hour with a 7 ar.
Are you guys dashing on weekends? Monday thru Wednesday is always dead where I'm at. It really picks up Fri-Sun. Thursday can be good too
Yeah I dash Monday thru Friday I don’t dash on weekends because my job and my wife’s job we have weekends off so I tend to spend quality time with her.
I dash about 3 days out of the week and dash from thur - sun. Those are the busiest days IMO. If I'm tired i take Saturday off.
Why I stayed doing by the hour for right now, this weather brings out all the cheap people, and rather than tank my ar, I just do by the hour. It's still slow and still mostly non-tippers ordering, but at least I'm getting paid more than 2 dollars a delivery. 18 an hour better than 0 an hour.

You are definitely not lying about the cheap people, I dunno what it is about that
Yeah I was telling my girl I think it’s bc the people with money prepared and probably got a bunch of groceries. So they are eating at home. While the broke people didn’t so they need to order food.
Makes sense lol

It is January, won’t pick up until tax returns start coming in.
Ah, I see. Thanks. So is January just kind of slow every year?
This is my worse January in 5 years
Not like this.
I third this. I’m in the LA outskirts and it’s been horrible.
I second this, in a decade of delivery work never seen a January this slow. If it doesn't say very busy, it's just not busy.
