I Delivered Uber Eats For 12 STRAIGHT HOURS.. How Much Money Did I Make?

Watch on YouTube

Video summary

The video documents a grueling twelve-hour shift where the creator attempts to maximize earnings by working full-time on Uber Eats, aiming to prove if such an intense schedule can yield a substantial income. Starting early in the morning at 8:26 AM with no specific orders initially available, he quickly accepts his first delivery and sets ambitious goals centered around completing daily quests that offer bonus payments for reaching certain trip counts. Throughout the day, he navigates various challenges typical of gig work, including declining low-paying or difficult tasks like "pack and deliver" jobs early on to preserve energy for higher-value orders later. He also discusses wearing prescription sunglasses indoors due to fatigue from long hours without breaks, highlighting both the physical demands and mental endurance required to stay competitive in a driver-saturated market where only those who remain active can earn money per task rather than per hour. As the day progresses into the afternoon and evening, the creator faces significant obstacles that test his resolve, such as receiving two massive grocery orders totaling thirty-three bags which nearly overwhelm his vehicle and force him to manually enter barcodes due to app glitches. Despite feeling cheated by these inefficient deliveries costing time and fuel without proportional pay, he chooses to complete them anyway because quitting would mean losing the momentum needed to finish quests that unlock extra earnings. He emphasizes how promotions and quest bonuses are essential for making side gigs worthwhile; without them, earning even $20 an hour might not be feasible given rising petrol costs around 9.5 liters per hundred kilometers. His strategy involves balancing quick trips with longer highway runs during peak evening hours when traffic lightens up after dark, allowing him to cruise at high speeds while listening to podcasts and avoiding congestion. By the end of his shift at approximately 8:03 PM, having driven over three hundred kilometers across Townsville's roundabout-heavy streets, he successfully completes thirty-five trips totaling $531.78 before being forced offline by Uber’s driving limit policy after twelve continuous hours online. After deducting an estimated $67.50 in fuel expenses based on current prices and consumption rates, his net take-home pay settles at roughly $464 for the day—a figure that translates to nearly forty dollars per hour but lacks traditional employee benefits like sick leave or superannuation. He concludes that while some days could potentially yield up to six hundred dollars under ideal conditions with perfect quest completion and high-value orders, others might fall below four hundred depending on location-specific promotions and order availability. Ultimately, he advises viewers considering this side hustle to commit to long shifts if they want serious income but warns them about the lack of job security and benefits inherent in casual gig work compared to minimum wage employment.

Here it's so we're here to help you transform your life. >> All right, guys. >> [cough] >> network in [clears throat] the Fairwinds Credit Union Studios. This is the Ramsey Show. This is the Ramsey Show and this is yet another Uber Eats delivery video. We'll pause that. Yep, Dave Ramsey is um good to go. Uh gets me in hustle mode. I I enjoy it. I enjoy Dave Ramsey and um a 2-hour Dave Ramsey Show gets me through the first 3 or 4 hours of a shift and today will be no different. Now, today I'm locking in. I'm locking in because I've got the whole day free. Um and I've got some money to make and some money we will make. Just how much money we will make is yet to be determined. But with Uber Eats with DoorDash, with any side gig, with any anything that you get you you get paid per task. Not per hour, but per task. The only way to earn money is to stay in the game. You're going to get some good tasks. You're going to get some bad tasks. Um in this case, you're going to get some good deliveries. You're going to get some bad ones. You're going to get some real doozies and those ones for the most part, I decline and I would recommend you do the same. Either way, it's 8:26 in the morning. Um we have 12 hours of Uber Eats um delivery driving staring back at us if I want to do that. If I don't, I can pull the pin early. But today's video, from the outset, I believe is going to be titled how much money can you earn doing a 12-hour day shift with Uber Eats. Sounds okay. So, I'm going to log in. It's 8:26 in the morning. We've got two sets of quests to achieve today. It's a little bit different than than what we've seen thus far. I'll try and give you a quick look. It is a Thursday. During the day on Thursdays, it's not necessarily the busiest, but uh certainly as it comes into late afternoon, evening, it does heat up a wee bit. But, as far as the quests that we are currently trying to achieve, we've got 15 trips for 60 extra dollars, followed by an extra three trips for 17, another three for 18, and another three for 19. And this quest goes from 8:00 till 5:00. It's 8:27, so we're pretty much perfect as far as timing's concerned. We've got 21 trips to complete by 5:00. That's the goal. 21 trips in 8 and 1/2 hours, that's definitely within within reason. If I don't complete that, I'd be surprised. But, uh, we've got 60, 77, 87, uh, 95, 105, 114 extra dollars if we complete 21 trips. That's not bad. That's the first stage of today. Following that, we've got a second quest that begins at 4:30, runs till 9:30, and, uh, we've got an opportunity to earn 42, 62, 66, 86, 93 extra dollars if we complete another 12 trips between 4:30 and 9:30. So, what's that? 21 plus 12 is 33 trips for an extra 200 something dollars. So, that's what we're looking at today. We're going to go online. And we're going to hope that an order comes through relatively quickly. And we've got one. 16.50 for 23.8 km. Next. >> In Denver. Hey, Stefan. What's up? Hey. And we've got a pack and deliver. I don't necessarily want to start my day with a pack and deliver, so we'll decline that. >> uh, better than I deserve, man. How can I help? Come on. Just while I'm waiting, I'm better get some better get prepared for this. So, we've got We've got the glasses when it's just We've got these for when it's just two Well, for when it's dark, of course, but also when it's you know, Mhm. 864 for 9.3 km. It's going to take me back into town, but I'm going to I'm going to decline it. I just can't get into this declining mentality for too long. But either way, these go on at night and also when it's just way too weird looking to wear uh sunglasses inside. But for the most part, I will wear these inside restaurants, inside supermarkets, inside shopping malls just because they're prescription um and I can't be bothered changing them. $12.05 for 13.5 km. I'm going to decline it. I do need to get going, of course. And we've got to remember that we've got a quest running in the background which adds an extra $4 per order if not a little bit more. Um so, you know, 12 $12.50 would actually be the equivalent of 16.50 and we've got to remember that. But um yeah. Looks like there is orders rolling through. >> [music] >> All right, I'm going to take this. It's 14.63, estimated 32 minutes, 15.5 km. Little bit further than I'd like, but we will you know, it's it's over $10 which is nice. Um I don't particularly like doing orders for anything less than $10. It's just like, what's the point? But if you do bang them out nice and quickly, they can really bump up those total trips working towards a quest. So, either way we're going to McDonald's. Order number one, it's 8:32. Let's get it. All right, guys. It's 9:24. We're closing in on the first hour um of um of deliveries. Uh we've got two complete so far. McDonald's and an iced mocha from a coffee shop. I always feel bad when I walk in there. I kind of embarrassed, kind of bad because there is always, especially in the morning, especially lunchtime, a massive line at this place. Massive line. Like you've never seen it. I mean, you probably have, but in Townsville, it's got to be the longest line for a coffee shop in the entire city. I mean, I'm talking like 20 people. So, personally, I would never wait for that. Although, they are quite efficient. But, uh they've got this little corner this little corner that courier delivery drivers can just sneak in and and go around and never have I actually ever had to wait for an order. They're always ready. So, um you know, it's obviously a very busy and bustling place, but they're very efficient. So, I was able to pick that one up relatively easily. Now, I'm going to Coles. As you can see, and I've got a double uh pack and deliver order. So, I'll get these ones done. There's only I think there's seven items between two orders. Seven items between two orders and I get paid 16.50 for the both of them. So, that'll be four out of six as far as the uh the first tier of quest. The first tier of the quest will be completed at six trips. After these two, we will have completed four. And so, I will check in with you guys when we reach the six trip mark. Okay. Peace. All right, guys. I made a mistake before. The first uh first tier of the quest is $60 for 15 trips. So, that is not going to be achieved for quite some time. >> roundabout and take the first exit onto Woolcock Street. Okay. That disaster of a delivery or deliveries is complete and I've done something that I haven't done >> Continue straight through the roundabout uh for quite some time. Now, Townsville's spread out, you could say. Uh there's certain areas of town that are sort of at the end of the line. Uh one that uh has a few restaurants down there, but not not so much. Normally, you you drop something off out there and you've got to work your way back into the city to get back into >> 300 m and take the roundabout and take >> But, uh there have been moments in the past where I've gone out here and then I've spent, you know, two or three hours out in this area just getting order after order. So, it depends, obviously, it all it's all a game. It all depends on how many drivers are out, who wants to order, um and and and so on and so forth. But, I'm going to risk it. I've got a $17 order and I have to travel 23 km, but it will be completed in less than 30 minutes because it is all highway um highway case. So, I'm going to take myself out there. Should be a pretty easy pick up from this uh shopping mall. Uh I'll grab that. I'll take it out there. $17 more in the bank. >> and turn right. And we will see if I can pick up another order prior eat like if something comes if something comes through um prior to actually dropping this order off, which is what happens quite a lot of the time, then um then, you know, I could stay out there for the next few hours, but we'll see. We will see what happens. You got to take the risk for the reward sometimes. $17, 23 km, 10th order of the day. and right. >> Let's go. >> All right, my friends. This is what highway miles in Townsville actually look like. We are sitting at 16.3 km to go. It's going to take me 13 minutes. So, it's coming up on 4 hours. The one thing I wanted to mention is that foot that first podcast that I've put on has lasted me this entire time. So, I've had something that I'm relatively interested in listening to to pass the time and and that's that's what the freedom of this this side gig or this part-time job or for some full-time job offers, you know? It really does offer a a level of flexibility that is unmatched unless you've got your own business. And I effectively this is running your own business. There's expenses. There's income. And at the end of the tax year, those will be laid out and I will be paying tax on some of my income, but not all of it because I've, you know, every single expense that's associated with the car, with my technology, um you know, phones or phone holders or fuel, obviously, maintenance. Uh There's a There's quite a few expenses that do come up and I've tracked every single one for the for the entire tax year. I started doing this part-time in July, which was um right or July last year. It's April now and tax uh the tax year in Australia goes from July 1st to June 30th. So, come June in 3 months, I will tally everything up and I will submit it and I will have a tax bill. But, I'm going to do everything I can to reduce that bill as much as possible. I don't have any set aside savings right now, but I do have access to money if if and when I need it. So, I'm not worried about paying tax, but I am worried about making it as as little as possible. Um but yeah, back to Dave Ramsey. Out to Bushland Beach, and we'll see what's going on out there. All right, guys, checking in. It's 1:23. Uh we've completed 13 orders. We are two away from our bonus $60. I keep on harping on about it because if if it wasn't for quests, if it wasn't for promotions, this would not be worthwhile. I mean, yeah, if you were really bored at home and you had a car that you want to beat down, um and and and just, you know, beat beat beat the price down as well through [ __ ] depreciation, then yeah, by all means go and do it, but I'm not about working for $20 an hour, $25 an hour. I would rather go and get a minimum wage job where you get superannuation on top of it. You get um sick pay and holiday pay and all that stuff. Like, a minimum wage job or it's slightly above is actually not the end of the world because you do get benefits and stuff like that, but either way, it's 1:24. We're almost 5 hours into this. 13 deliveries down, and my plan to take that that uh that long delivery that was taking me way out of the way worked slightly. I was able to get three uh relatively quick um orders done out this way, and I've just been given another order for $17. Sorry, $15 for 23 km taking me from all the way out here back to where I basically started. And I'm going to take this opportunity to get back down there towards more restaurants, more action, and uh you know, take a $15 order that's going to take 23 km to to deliver. It's very similar to the one that I took um on the way out here. So, it's Krispy Kreme. Uh Uh benefit of Krispy Kreme is that the orders are always ready if not if not, you know, a minute or two away. I'd be very surprised if this isn't ready ready to go for me. So, uh let's keep going. Order number 14, 5 hours in on the road to what I'm hoping is $450 for 12 hours work. It's a big call and I've got a fair few hours still in front of me, but I believe it's possible. Wouldn't be the first time I've earned 400 500 bucks in a day, uh but I haven't I haven't put in 12 solid hours in quite some time. So, today is an anomaly. I don't know when the next opportunity for me to do this will be, but um I want to make a video around it and I need the money. I want the money. It's going to be great when it's all done. I guess that's the same with any workplace. But, uh yeah, just cruising along listening to podcasts, delivering food, packages, alcohol, whatever you guys need. I am your man. Until I log off. And left on North Shore Boulevard. And then someone else will be. I don't know. There's something There's something special. There's something magical. Certainly exciting. To the roundabout, take the first exit onto Nexus Drive. >> a dozen Krispy Kreme donuts. I don't know about you, but it just makes me feel like a kid again. You know what I mean? All right, guys. There we are. Pick up zone at Woolworths. Now, there's two types of Woolworths order. There's a click and collect delivery to your boot. Something like that. Either way, you turn up, the delivery is already picked um and you pick it up from a specific collection point outside. So, you can stay in your car and you don't really need to do too much. Um and then there's other click and collect orders that you have to go into the store and collect. I don't know why there's any difference between the two. I think every single Woolworths store actually has one of these areas where people drive up and collect, but but we're running a little behind time. If I look at the clock, it's 2:30, so we've been online for 6 hours. Um we've just reached 15 trips, which gives us an extra $60, sitting at $213.89. And we've ticked over into the next three trip quest level, which will give us an extra 17. So, I took a $10 order for 10 km. I also took an add-on for $4 because I really want to complete all the quests available. So, >> [sighs] >> yeah, I kind of stitched myself up. One order's got nine bags, the other's got four. And in total, I'll I'll earn $14. And I've been sitting here for like 5 or 10 minutes already because there were loads of cars, and I thought about canceling, but I've made that mistake before, so I'm just going to stick it out. But, once again, once these two are delivered, I'll be very very pleased. Wish me luck. Nah, bro. Nah, nah, nah. Nah. I'm trying to keep it together right now. I am trying my best to keep it together right now, but that this is this is not it. This If you were If you just started doing Uber Eats and you you were you were you were given these two orders to begin your career, your Uber Eats career, you would have quit. You would quit. It wasn't just nine and four bags. It was nine and four crates. Nine and four crates, and then they're they're freaking in they're they're they're they're um little computer little tablet thing wasn't wasn't wasn't bringing up the the barcodes, and I couldn't scan it, and they took me in the in the back to bloody enter the barcodes manually, and one worked, and two you know, one worked, and one didn't. And now, now I've got a backseat full of full of groceries. Oh. And I've got a boot completely full of groceries. If I didn't have the car, the size of car that I do, I would have had to cancel and leave one there, but um look, the name of the game is to stay cool and stay in it. And when we look back after doing 12 complete hours, this moment will be in the past. It'll be done. And hopefully we can get a couple of beefy ones to to sort of even this out, cuz at the moment I feel cheated. I feel completely cheated. Um 600 m, turn right on Rosewood Avenue. >> I've got about 35 shopping bags um in my in my vehicle. And half of those are being delivered for a measly sum of $4. Simply not worth it. Anyway, that's my one and only rant for today. I think this order would have to take the cake as being the biggest doozy of the lot. And um I wouldn't recommend it. Would not recommend it. Sup, guys? 2:56 in the afternoon. >> Riverway Drive. I I I'm not sure if I've got my second wind about me, but this order has most certainly helped. Uh $23 for 22 km. It's taking me all the way over the other side of town again. But, it's $23. And with this we will uh have done uh 18 trips. And that'll leave us Jeez, probably an hour and maybe an hour and 40 minutes to try and complete six more. It's possible. Definitely possible. I've done I've done that in the past. And it's in those moments where you're chasing down a a that you do willingly take $4 orders, $6 orders, a double stacker for $10, you know, when when normally you'd you'd probably cancel that because you're not so desperate. But that's that's the game. That's how they keep you coming back is to try and get these quests. So, if I can complete six more orders after this one in a time frame of an hour 40 uh an hour 35 maybe maybe even as little as an hour 30. And it's not completing the orders, it's actually just accepting them. So, what we really need to do is have four or five completed in an hour and a half and leave ourselves maybe 5 minutes 5 or 10 minutes at the end of that time period to just accept an order um and it you know, following that it doesn't really matter how long it takes you to actually deliver it. It's just a matter of accepting it within that time frame. So, I hope all this makes sense and I hope this video comes across well. I hope you've enjoyed it cuz I've enjoyed myself. At the end of the day I have enjoyed myself. It's fun. ish at times. All right, guys. We are on the way to Coles to do a pack and deliver. It's just gone 4:00 and at this stage we need to complete five Well, sorry, we need to accept five deliveries in the next hour. I don't think I've ever done that in my life. So, I'm heading to Coles to do a pack and pack and deliver. It's only two items. It's only two items with the hope that they load me up with maybe one if not two more orders. And with that in mind, best case scenario I could get I could get three orders packed and delivered in 40 minutes. That would leave me with 20 minutes to accept two orders. I don't think that's going going That is my only hope. That is my only hope. And at the end of the day, a new quest actually begins at 4:30. So, in half an hour, uh any trip that I take, any trip that I accept, will be working towards the second um quest, which goes from 4:30 to 9:30. meters continue straight through the roundabout onto Harvey Range Road. God, that's annoying, isn't it? That is so annoying. Ah, there's so many roundabouts around here. The thing about Townsville, right? There's so many roundabouts. They get away with having minimal traffic lights. Well, I yeah, I take that back, but there are a hell of a lot of roundabouts. And every single time I come up to one, this happens. Continue straight through the roundabout onto Harvey Range Road. >> Okay, I will. Either way, guys, we've got quests upon quests upon quests. And we will achieve as many as we possibly can. I'm going to keep going until 8:30. Uber kicks you off after a 12-hour shift anyway. They force you to take 8 hours off, uh which I will happily do. But um yeah, we're just we're look I'm going to keep rolling. I'll probably check in in another hour, let you guys know how we're going, look at the total, uh look at the quest progress. >> meters turn left onto Thuringowa Drive. And that's us. See you. Okay, guys. I've got some good news, some hopeful news, some optimistic news. Um I'm giving myself a chance. At this stage, I will be in with a shot of completing all quests. Okay, now we've really got a shot. Um Okay, so I've got a a triple stacker, a triple stack of alcohol at Sorry, I can hardly speak. I should be focusing on the road at this point. A triple stack of alcohol orders I'm about to pick up from Dan Murphy's. Time is running out. Time is of the essence. I've got 35 minutes to deliver all three um and then possibly get one more order. So, I've got 30 I've got 35 minutes to pick these up, deliver them successfully, and then accept another order, and then I will have completed all of the quests. But, only time will tell. I'll tell you what, you wouldn't read about it. You wouldn't read about it. But, we've done it. I've officially done it. I have played the game. I've played the game. We've had wins, we've had losses, we've had ups, we've had downs. But, at 4:57 p.m. I have accepted my 21st and final delivery of today's well, the first lot of quests. So, I have completely maxed out uh my promotion income for the 8:00 till 5:00 o'clock window, which makes me really happy. And as well as that, this order being my first accepted order between the hours of 4:30 and 9:30, hopefully this all makes sense. This order goes towards the second lot of quests, in which I have an opportunity to earn about an extra $100 if I complete 12 trips. At this point, uh I don't know if that's possible, but hey, stranger things have happened. And uh I certainly wasn't expecting to be able to max out this quest. The triple alcohol order really came in clutch. And normally, like, alcohol orders I'm not hugely keen on. Uh kind of unpredictable as far as what you're going to, you know, what you're going to find at the address. Some people's IDs aren't valid, for example, which means you got to you literally got to take the alcohol back. You got to see the like I mean they're obviously 18, but if you can't verify the ID through the Uber app, you've got no choice but to take the alcohol and take it back to the store. And I've done that a couple of times and it is absolutely horrible. They're clearly over 18, but for whatever reason the the ID is not verifying properly. So, I've done that before. I've been there before. And uh Luckily in this case, all three drops were pretty smooth. And so, we're off to Red Rooster to complete the 21st trip of the day. And I will check in with you guys around about around about 7:00. So, I'll give it another couple of hours, try and complete as many as possible, and I'll check in probably one or two more times before finishing this day off. Overall, it's been fun. Making this video has been fun. It's kept me going. It's I I enjoy it. You know, a 12-hour shift without making a YouTube video just wouldn't feel the same. But I think overall, if you do want to make decent money doing UberEats, you're going to have to lock in for some 12-hour shifts at least, especially if it's going to be a full-time income. So, let's keep going, guys. All right, guys. Just keeping you as updated as I possibly can. I've got another three orders on board. We've got grilled burgers. We've got a pizza, and we have some sushi. So, yeah. A bit of everything. A bit of everything you could say, but all three orders were ready as soon as I got there, which is amazing. So, we've got them here. Uh this is going to be a $20 order in total, but if we add the quest earnings on top of it, it's going to be at least another $7 per order. So, overall, this is worth effectively $41. And when you look at it like that, it's going to take about 40 minutes to complete, worth about $41, it just makes sense. It just makes sense. And cents make dollars. And dollars we are accumulating. And I will let you guys go now. I don't want to ramble too much more, but just know just know that we are rolling. And all going well, I mean it's a Thursday evening. People are people people are settling in for the Easter weekend. It's Easter Friday tomorrow. You'd expect a few drinks to be flying here and there and um Stay ahead continue straight through the roundabout onto Kern Brothers Drive using the left >> and and and and a few Uber Eats orders to be made. It's 6:26. I will see you guys in another hour and update you on how things are going. But at the moment, look I've had to take some disgustingly cheap deliveries to get my total number of deliveries up, but like I said man, you take the good with the bad and in the end you take your money home and that's what I'm going to do. 500 of it. That is the goal. $500. Obviously less petrol, but we are currently on track to be taking home $500 less expenses and we will run through all of that at the end of the shift. Sup guys? The time is 7:35. And finally, you know, it's been 11 hours. Hopefully this will focus. It's been 11 straight hours of driving and finally the ball is back in my court. I've got 55 minutes to complete or to accept two deliveries. 55 minutes for two deliveries that will take us to 12 hours. Uber will kick me off the platform and that'll be it for today. And we will [music] complete all of the quests, which is nice. So I'm hoping to get something that's going to take me towards home and then we'll finish it off with whatever comes through. But yeah, the ball's in my court and it's It's nice feeling. So I was able to hustle my way through um through that and um get a few cheapies done in quick succession. And now I can freely cherry-pick my way through these last couple and finish the night in style. Oh. Oh, that that's okay. That's okay. That's two deliveries, 16 bucks, 14 K's. It's going to take me all the way over here. I need to come back towards home. But, it will take me towards home most of the way. So, I'm going to accept that. I'm going to accept it. Head to your pick up at Yo Hash Burger. Oh, no. They're [ __ ] They've done me in here. They've done it again. They're not from the same restaurant. Uber has stitched me up once again. They They will make it look like uh both pickup points are at the same location, but they will be different. And unless you zoom right in, you are not going to know that until you've accepted it. And then it's up to me. Do I want to ex- Do I want to keep it? Do I want to keep this order? Go to two locations for $15, or do I not? It's a tough one. It really is a tough one, but because this is taking me towards home and because petrol is so damn expensive at the moment, I am going to continue. Let's do this. Let's finish strong. Ah. >> [sighs] >> All right, we've got the goods on board and we're cruising. We're cruising towards home with uh minimal traffic on the roads. And I did actually do a few night shifts back in the day. And uh this is reminding me why I so much prefer driving at night. And it's because the traffic dies down heavily. Basically, as soon as it gets dark, well, I'd say 7:00, maybe 8:00, there is so much less traffic on the roads, there are so many less red lights because of that. And I'm on I'm on you know, I'm on this road called Ross River Road at 60 K's and you know, at 9:10, 11:12 o'clock at night, it is green light after green light after green light. I put my car in cruise control, I cruise along, I'm not going to get any speeding fines, I am just listening to my podcast, cruising along, no cars, no red lights and it's it's pleasurable. I'm going to go as far as to say it is pleasurable. And also, the premium on night time orders seems to be um there as far as how much you earn. So, >> [snorts] >> you know, a night shift is where it's at driving Uber Eats. Either a quest, if there's no quests available, definitely driving at night is where it's at. But, of course, with any night shift, you've got to be up all night and that's where it gets tiresome. So, you've got to be able to recover, you've got to be able to get enough sleep. But, I would say my favorite times that I've ever had driving Uber Eats have been during the night. And this run that I'm having down this road at the moment, this very familiar road, is reminding me exactly why. So, I'm just going to keep cruising. I've got just got another another green lights. I can see I can see the red light down the road a wee bit. Um but, that'll turn green by the time I get there and we'll keep cruising, man. It's 8:03. I've got 20 I think I've got 25 online minutes left. So, I should deliver this within about 7 or 8 minutes and then it'll be up to me. Do I want to take another order? >> m, continue straight. >> Or do I want to go home? >> Turn left onto Harvey Range Road. Well, I think I want to absolutely max out the most amount of money I can possibly make in 12 hours, right? That's the title of this video and that's exactly what I'll do. So, I'll drop this off, I'll take one more order, and then I will go home. We will look at how many k's I've done, how much petrol we've used, how many trips I've done, and most importantly, how much money we've made. All right, guys. I'll tell you what, it's amazing what happens when you when you're actually not having to rush around and take shitty orders. You start declining them, and that's exactly what's happened. So, I've literally got 1 minute of driving time available of 12 hours, and following that, you need you're forced to take at least 8 hours off of the platform. So, I guess we'll just wait it out. Um but, as you can see, $531.78, 35 trips completed. Uh and now we're six points away from reaching platinum status, which gets you pretty much next to nothing. But, um it's going to throw me offline, I think. Should do. And Oh my god. See, these are the orders I've been thrown recently. It's like, nah, I honestly can't be [ __ ] I want to go home. >> [laughter] >> I'm done. I'm absolutely done. I've had a gutsful. Even though it has been fun. So, put that back up there. Still says I'm Oh, no. There we have it. What does that say? Driving limit reached. Your app will now be offline until 4:29 a.m. Well, that's all right. That is okay. Yeah, I mean, have a look at I think we can I think we can look at the weekly summary and then go by days. So, today, 2nd of April, $531.78, 12 hours online, less than an hour inactive. Now, that's surprising. 35 trips, 115 points, $324.78 base, and $207 in total um promotions. So, as you can see, to put in 12 hours and get $324 would probably not be worth it with petrol included. So, uh 531 $531. That's actually That's That's a fantastic day's work. I'll take it. You know, it's better than a kick in the teeth. Tell you that much. Um as far as kilometers, we have traveled uh 302.9 km, and we have been traveling at an average of 9.5 L per 100. So, let's just call it Let's just call it 10 L per 100, and let's call it um 300 km. So, that's 30 L of petrol, and when I did put petrol in my car earlier today, I paid 2.25. So, 30 L, 2.25 * 30 L would be 60. 25 cents * * 30 would be um would be um um 70 $7.50. So, 60 30 67 $67.50 in petrol costs. Sorry, my brain My brain's kind of fried, I'm not going to lie. I've got I've I've brought the energy today, I'm happy with that, but my brain is fried. 531.78 less 67.50 is We'll call it $464 from 12 hours work. 464 total dollars in the bank, in the pocket after expenses in 12 hours. That's just under $40 an hour. And if every single Uber Eats shift I ever did averaged 38, 39, 40 bucks an hour, I might even consider doing it full-time. But that's not always the case. And on on a really, really good day, on a really good day, that could have been upwards of $600. On a really bad day, between three and $400. And really is is that a bad day? No, it's not because it's money in your pocket. So, if you if you're looking for extra money I'm going to say this now. I don't know when I'm going to make the next video. This was kind of This has kind of taken it out of me and I think jeez, it could be an hour-long video. So, I'm going to I'm going to I'm going to continue working when I've got the spare time, but I'm not going to make any videos around it. Um unless I don't know. I You never know. A good night's sleep can change everything. I could wake up tomorrow morning and and want to make another video, but I don't think I'm going to. It's Easter Friday tomorrow. I'm going to spend some time with my children. And um and yeah, do that. And not really worry about making money because I've made enough today. So, I'm going to go to sleep tonight. I'm going to put my head on the pillow feeling really accomplished. Um really happy with today's efforts. And you know, if you are looking for some spare income some extra money give it a go. Give it a go where you live because I mean, I'd be very interested All I've All I've done is drive in Townsville and I'd be very interested to see what the lay of the land is like in other areas. But not only that, what promotions are offered because I'm led to believe there are different promotions in each city. So, if you've got any experience, if you're still watching this video, I mean, congratulations on that. I appreciate the support. But, if you do have any experience driving Uber Eats or DoorDash or any of those side hustle gigs gig apps um then let me know. Let me know, you know, what what's it like? What's it like where you're from? Because all I know at this point is Townsville, but I'd love I'd love to give it a go in other places cuz I mean, yeah, if you can make $40 an hour obviously, there's no holiday pay, there's no sick pay. Call it casual work. There's no superannuation, which is retirement contributions from your employer. Um there's none of that, but if you can wake up whenever the hell you want jump in your car pick and choose the orders that you take keep an eye on the quests. And at the end of the 12-hour shift, go home with at least $400. That's not bad. That is not bad. So, I've proved to myself today many things. And um I just hope you've enjoyed the video. Thank you for watching. I'm heading home. And I will see you in the next one.
