Uber vs. DoorDash deliveries for me today (an Aussie public holiday):
- DoorDash: Five deliveries in 3hrs (rejected an additional five as too far): $43.57 plus tips.
- Uber: No deliveries in three hours, no offers.

I work for Evri – And this is why I sometimes throw your packages
Mohammed, 27, works for Evri. He asked not to share his surname as he’s still employed by the company — but he’s open about the realities of life behind the wheel.
“Yeah, I’ve thrown parcels,” he admits. “But it’s not because I don’t care. It’s usually because I can’t get to the door — locked gates, no access, or a big dog roaming around. If it’s a padded item, like clothes, and I know it won’t break, I’ll gently drop it over the fence.”
There’s another reason too — and it’s all about speed.
“Fridays are mad. It’s when I try to earn the most. I’ll have up to 110 parcels and I need to be quick. I don’t have five minutes for every door. The quicker I work, the more I make — so yeah, sometimes I move fast.”
3 Tips from Experts to Help Delivery Drivers
Motoring experts at Number 1 Plates say that customers can play a big role in ensuring safe, smooth deliveries – and avoiding tossed parcels.
Here are their top three tips, based on real delivery driver feedback:
1. Leave Your Gate Unlocked (If Safe to Do So)
“Drivers often can’t access front doors due to locked gates. Leaving a gate open on delivery days or adding a note with instructions helps hugely.”
A locked gate with no sign of access is one of the top reasons parcels get left outside or dropped over a fence.
2. Keep Pets Secure
“Even friendly dogs can make drivers hesitate. If a dog is roaming freely, a driver may skip the delivery or be forced to leave it in an awkward spot.”
Mohammed confirms: “I’ve had dogs bark and block the path — I’m not risking it. I’ll stay back if there’s no one to help.”
3. Add a Visible Door Number or Sign
“It sounds basic, but unclear or missing house numbers slow everything down. Especially in bad weather or after dark.”
A clear number, even printed on the bin or wall, makes locating the right address faster — and means your parcel is more likely to land exactly where it should.
Final Word from Mohammed:
“We want to get it right. A few small things from the customer’s side really help — I’ll do my best if I can actually get to your door.”
This is the #Chester Highway Supervisor, an elected official in New York, opening fire on a lost #DoorDash driver, showing once again why being a #DeliveryDriver is far more dangerous than being a cop. We are a diseased culture where shooting a stranger is preferable to helping.

@datarama @aud @jenniferplusplus @blogdiva This is what California has done with our fast food labor board. I’m a #pizzahut #deliverydriver looking forward to a $20/hr labor board negotiated raise in April - provided my company doesn’t lay me off and replace me with Doordash first! 😬
I live in a mixed development neighborhood, where parts of the neighborhood are higher end, some middle, and some lower. When I watch the UPS delivery truck on the map, it always seems to go out of its way to deliver to all of the higher end parts of the neighborhood first (far east, far west, far north, up and down the sides, etc). Is this intentionally classist, or a mere result of some optimization logic?

When Fabien Accidini had a plight
He found a young man
Stumbling along a mountain plan
Lost on road so dark, with no might
But Fabien's help that teen was alright
