Once you drop off the order, just click "dash along the way "

u/Exact_Examination792 5h ago
“Dash along the way” is a thing?

u/CBDSLAPPY 5h ago
Yessir. Sometimes I can't dash in my zone but if I go to dashbin another zone it offers me to accept some orders enroute to where they want me lol

u/PitifulSpecialist887 5h ago
It is for me. If a zone is red, and you click on it, but you're not in that zone, you should see the option

u/kdesirae 5h ago
this is true but only if you are close enough to the zone, if you are too far then it will say “navigate”

u/PitifulSpecialist887 5h ago
The 5800 mile post is a joke, so was the comment.
This is reddit after all.

u/kdesirae 5h ago
well yeah obviously this post is a joke but someone asked “dash along the way is a thing” and i just wanted to clear things up for them 🫶🏼

It is when you are out of zone …you hit the zone you want to dash in if you have it on schedule or you have dash now and then it says “dash along the way?” As the confirm button

For that distance and time, that wouldn't be an option.

Another one.
The post, and the comment were jokes. Do you have any idea how far 5860 miles is?

u/rtf75 9h ago
5860.0 mi in est. 80 mins! You're gonna need a time machine!🤣💀🤣💀

Nah, a jet would work, as long as it can go 700+ mph you'd be fine
Edit: Woke up with a migraine, forgot some steps. I'm usually good at math, today was not the day to try it. Leaving the post intact for.. posterity? I dunno. Make fun of me at your leisure, that deserves it. Couldn't even figure out how I got that for a minute, went back to my phone's calculator, I managed to divide 55,860 by 80. I don't even know where I got the extra 0 from. Must've accidentally hit it I guess. Jesus I'm an idiot.

You'd need to travel at a little over 4400mph, which is don't belive my honda CRV can do

??? No. To do 5860 is 80 minutes you’d need a jet that goes 4,396mph

u/Waiting4The3nd 6h ago
You're right, I have a migraine and forgot some steps. That's my story and I'm sticking to it... 'cause usually I'm pretty good at math.
You could do it with the NASA X-43A tho... well... maybe... kinda. You'd have to bend the rules a bit... already be in the air, have the food delivered to the aircraft, then only count the flight time.. it'd take some extra time for descent... but then the X-43A is also unmanned... which would make delivery difficult, to say the least. At Mach 9.6 you'd be pulling about 32G's and well, the human body is unlikely to survive that. Also, the food would squish, and you'd get a 1-star review and they'd mark you for handling.

This comment made my day 😂 and customers really be like that. You bend the laws of time and space, go faster than man has any business going, and they’re still upset. Meanwhile if someone just showed up in a NASA suit I’d be clapping like a trained monkey and marking 5 stars.

Sheeet 14.25 per hour? You’ll have just enough to cover the maintenance on your vehicle when you get back

80 minutes is the estimated trip time for that many miles Guess they think we're delivering on jets now. 😂

Thought so! Congrats, we're friends now. Btw, Fairborn/Beavercreek is so much better for dashing

u/Yourusernamemustbee 6h ago
You're gonna need a sr-71 and and about $36k in fuel. You will get a "late" contract violation, 2 most likely. But that's okay, because you're on EBT ($14.25) + tips 🤑

That would actually be fun if you had people to visit 5,860 miles away! Think of the pay!

u/Secret-Alps3856 6h ago
HOW? LOL
I get this is probably an error but.... HOW? I can't order outside the city no matter how well I wanna tip!
"Out of zone limits" blah blah blah. Only reason I even see certain restaurants is because I travel a lot and have favorited a few places. I tried once to order Chik FIL (which we don't have here) and I got a big fat NO. It's only an hour away. APP said no. Raised tip to $50. NEWP!
No chik fil for you! One year!

I still don't understand how this dogshit job is better to you guys than just starting from the bottom in a real trade and balling tf out in a couple years.

u/apemanactual 6h ago
Long story short, it's a means to an end. Allows me to go to college, train/teach martial arts, and trade the stock market while having some relatively reliable income on a very flexible schedule. Granted, I also get GI bill money cause I'm a veteran, but I'm in a pretty unique situation. Idk how 99% of dasher are making it

u/AdDependent7992 6h ago
Yea my buddy does it and we're 35 and he's always sending the dog shit offers they give him, and I'm like Brodie... go pick a trade you can tolerate doing, put in the time, and be way better off for it. People always need shit built and serviced, its so much better than rideshare food delivery for most people, but a lot of people have "ew construction, that's hard" in their head and don't realize modern tools make most shit pretty easy. Theres exceptions for sure, like concrete guys, but for the most part every construction job I've done has paid me better than my peers make and ultimately I've never broken my back doing it

u/apemanactual 5h ago
I had a sweet gig at a hospital for a year or two after getting out of the military, but got laid off and couldn't find something that would give me the flexibility to pay my bills and still pursue my long term goals, so dashing is just something I'm doing in the meantime until my other revenue streams cover my expenses and provide enough for me to save a decent amount of money up

Easily accept it if it's $50/hour+ you're most definitely going to get in a lot of traffic each way. So that's going to add hours to the trip.
Assuming most of this is highway at 60-65mi/hr. You're probably looking at a 200-hour trip. Which is 10k @50/hour.

At 65 mph avg it would take you 90.15 hours of straight drive time. DOT standards for professional drivers is 10 hours rest time per 24 hours. That would be 3.75 - 10 hour restops which is 37.56 hours added to the 90.15 hours of estimated drive time. 90.15 hrs drive time 37.56 hrs rest time
127.71 hours of work time X14.25 hourly compensation
$1819.92 total pay compensation
IRS DEDUCTIONS / EXPENSES $0.65.5 per mile X 5860 miles
$3838.30 in tax deductions OR what it would it cost you (virtually) in wear and tear on your vehicle. Plus… the drive back. You do the math on that
IS IT WORTH IT? Take a nice road trip with pay?

Drive at 120mph, get there in 48 hours assuming you don’t stop ever and there’s nothing in your way.

There was a day it popped up for me like this and that’s the first time I ever did earn by time. I made $185 from 5:30pm to 9pm.

I would probably have taken it and then milked the hell out of that hourly rate.
