(Part 2) Best products from r/doordash

I recommend one of these three mid-range phones, from cheapest to cheaper. Definitely bang for the buck.

1. Blu Life X2: I have 6 apps opened, little-to-none lag. Can handle multi-apping cherry picking. This phone has super fast charging, 0-100% in 30 minutes.
   
2. Samsung Galaxy A50: Hot and new 2019 phone with the latest O.S. Android 9 pie. Some say it's a cheaper version of the flagship S10. Definitely fast, more than enough for the job.
   
3. Samsung Galaxy A70: Planning this for my next upgrade. $100 more than the A50. Has longer screen, higher battery capacity, faster charge time, higher ram, slightly faster speed and higher storage capacity. A better version of the A50.

I invested in a pizza bag and a better food bag. Between them, I can take almost everything and both restaurants and customers really appreciate them.

There's a lot of people on here that think spending your own money on stuff like this is a waste, but to me it's more professional. The pizza bag is great for everything also. Asian restaurants most of the time have them in boxes and you can just slide them in. If you get a larger bag, you can stand the pizza one on end and keep them warm. Cheap and multi use. Oh, it also carries pizzas. Two or three stacked high.


If you signed up for more then one gig, you should have multiple bags and can just use them too. Walmart has some cheap big thermal bags also.

I have a SUPER bright 1000 LUMEN flashlight I keep to help with this situation...helps tremendously for people who don’t have a
Porch light.


Here’s the one I have


Cree XP-L LED Rechargeable Flashlight,Soonfire E07 USB Waterproof 1000 Lumen Compact EDC Flashlight with type 18650 3400mAh rechargeable Li-ion battery https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074SVRTVV/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_vE2wDbYTF0E18

That one looks pretty solid and 10 bucks is a good price. I got this one https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00IDNCYSW/ref=ya_aw_od_pi?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and it’s really good for big orders, a little more expensive though...

DD bag is crap. I bought that one from amazon and I'm pretty satisfied!

I used to deliver for GrubHub.. they sent me a big red food service bag and a pizza bag. I think this is the one:

It has lasted me years.. I really like using the pizza bag too for pizza. Customers have made comments on it and I truly believe it helps my rating using a pro level bag.

I usually decline/unassign orders with alot of drinks. Just out of annoyance/lazyness.

​

If you want to deal with them, you could invest in a good drink carrier. Something like this would probably work well.

This week was slow for me, but really nice weather in the Dallas area will do that. I made around $1000 before gas on 42 hours. I run multiple apps as well, but DoorDash and postmates are my main two.
I used to spend a lot on Red Bull’s, but recently ordered some of these no crash caffeine pills. Saved me a lot this week and seem smoother and last longer then Red Bull’s or coffee..

Edit: I drive a Corolla as well so get on average 28mpg when dashing

I've used these off Amazon for forever. They have have straps on top and side so you can carry stuff in either orientation.

For ur health my friend. I used to do like what u did then everyone on this forum put me in check on the cart. Catering bags use these ones cause they don't leak.

As a paramedic and firefighter. I fucking agree. I feel your plight brothers and sisters. PS: buy this [Cigarette Lighter DC Flashlight for $20 on amazon] (https://www.amazon.com/Brinkmann-800-2705-0-Million-Spotlight-Cigarette/dp/B0046ODC6K/ref=sr_1_13?hvadid=78615134045258&hvbmt=be&hvdev=c&hvqmt=e&keywords=cigarette+lighter+spotlight&qid=1565061538&s=gateway&sr=8-13) It's $20, lots of delivery drivers use a maglight, this is a lot more powerful and will light up the front of a house/mailbox. Also look for the curbside numbers.

There are others that are made of cloth etc, but this one made the most sense for me. It's more expensive than the cloth ones, but a better investment imho.

My fav bags came from Amazon in similar ways:

NZ Home 2 Pack Insulated Reusable Grocery Bags, Extra Large, Foldable, Stands Upright, Sturdy Zipper https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071ZNFVMD/

They can be. I bought this one on amazon. It was only $59 and good for 5000 hours of use.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0795P2674/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_i_eSB0Db52GJ5KN

I decided to be a little extra and actually get a decent flashlight. This thing is fantastic for $40 (I already had 18650 cells to use in it).

I've been a huge fan of this automatic mileage tracker that plugs into your car: https://www.amazon.com/Automatic-Connected-Diagnostics-Detection-Compatible/dp/B00UZ0OHIQ/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1510018485&tag=rigubl0f-20&sr=8-4

You can deduct the cost of it on your taxes since you're solely using it for work.

Great question!

I have one of those cargo nets that are made for motorcycles. So it would be in the DD bag (if it fits), then cargo netted across the rear seat.

I posted above, a few links to some rigid foam trunk cargo organizers. I'm thinking about which one to get. Something like this:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01DIMTWCS/ref=sspa_dk_detail_7?psc=1&pd_rd_i=B01DIMTWCS&pd_rd_w=EvAK9&pf_rd_p=10ebaf99-73de-4f5d-a994-e7f5fc52f86f&pd_rd_wg=eRiQf&pf_rd_r=RZMA255QNWZC5CYEHMB5&pd_rd_r=26a8d369-2c1e-11e9-90b8-2bc8cef3038b

I'd have to add some straps for it, but the bike has the rear seat and saddle bags now, so this should fit right over the saddle bags and sit on the seat.
