I do deliveries as a licensed Independent Contractor.
I am at the age where I can pick and choose and do what I want.
I checked into one of the Uber type ‘services’ called ‘Roadie’ and the bids put out I wouldn’t touch with a ten foot pole because the prices are terribly low, and it turns out that what they basically do is hire (after signing up etc) whoever is going in that direction.
A good example is a job was offered from near Front Royal VA to Denver CO and even though a week was given, the pay was about 800 bucks for a 1700 mi(orso) job.
I have seen others that are paying less per mi.
On one hand they tell you that if you make a delivery, chances are pretty good you can get one to carry you back BUT the setup is basically for ‘joe citizen’ to delivery your piano 2000 miles because he is going that way.
All I can really see this doing is slicing into an already ‘slow’ business.
I would NEVER do food (MAYBE if I personally know the owner..but doubtful) and I can imagine this pizza delivery guy gets the app, is told to be xxxxx at 6PM - he is ‘fined’ if late and the customer (on both ends) writes a report on him/her so if the pickup isn’t ready when you get there, eventually you will be late for the delivery so they will be mad at you and there goes YOUR TIP...and you really have no one to be able to get ‘mad’ at.
I know I wouldn’t want to have to deal with those restaurant low-lifes.
