TikToker Tiana (@tiana.com) answered the question of how much a DoorDash delivery driver makes in an hour by taking us on a quick delivery run. DoorDash is a food delivery service that operates in the United States and Canada.

It allows users to order food from local restaurants and have it delivered directly to their door. As of 2020, DoorDash has over 500,000 drivers in the United States and Canada.

What are the pros and cons of being a DoorDash driver? Drivers do it for flexibility.

Namely, as a DoorDash driver, you can work whenever you want and as much as you want. You can make your own schedule.

It is also a good way to earn extra money: DoorDash drivers can earn additional income from delivering food.

Most importantly, it is easy to sign up - you can get started right away. However, there are also some cons. The most important one is- low wages.

The base pay for a DoorDash driver is very low, and you may need to make more money to cover your expenses. Unpredictable earnings: DoorDash drivers are not guaranteed a steady income, and the amount you can earn on any given day can vary widely.

Furthermore, tips are not guaranteed and can vary widely from customer to customer. And, on top of it all, you have to pay for vehicle wear and tear.

TikToker Tiana took us on a quick delivery run.

She went to a restaurant she wasn't familiar with to get an order of $8.75, but when she arrived the place seemed to be shut down. She had made a mistake and gone to the wrong place.

“That was a super fun waste of time,” she said.

After some time, Tiana managed to get the order and brought it to a nice home. As a reward, the person inside gave her a generous tip.

“Yo, he tipped me $7! I love rich people!” she said.

She got her next order from a sushi place, yet the bag felt surprisingly light.

“It’s probably just one roll of sushi,” she observed. “But you know who orders that? Rich people.”

After driving for an hour, she ended up making a mere $21. Her spirits weren't too high, however, since the cost of gas had really cut into her profit margins.

To make matters worse, when she subtracted the cost of gas, she was left with a total of negative $4. "They can't all be wins," she said, clearly disappointed.

Commenters agreed:

No money there

Watch the video:

It's clear that making a living as a DoorDash delivery driver can be tough. On any given hour, you could make very little.

Yet, at the same time, the next hour could be full of great orders with generous tips. It's this unpredictability that makes the job so challenging but also so exciting.

You never know when you might hit the jackpot! Maybe that's why people still do it.
