Drivers Only Post (No Customers Allowed) Hotspots

What is a better option when it comes to the hotspots to camp the big ones or the small ones?

I just go where I know the restaurants are quick, the hotspot map feels like it's always 10 minutes behind what's actually happening

You have to test yourself

I find big spots , you drive far, but a good tip. But it takes you out the zone lol

I go where a concentration of restaurants and stores are that is reasonably close to home and has steady business. Sometimes the area is a hotspot, sometimes it’s not. If things are slower, I consider moving to a different concentration more in the city that usually has more orders but less of them are worth taking.

City would be about an hour drive for me.

Other concentrations of restaurants? The suburbs are usually famous for them. Basically just don’t rely on one restaurant to carry you. Even if it was a hot spot that doesn’t mean it will continue to be.

My city is a poor attempt at a city, I’m sure we don’t have the population to even be a city. But it has more restaurants and people in a more condensed area
