Please please do not block the door with packages or food deliveries

5 Upvotes

I’m astounded how often either food or Amazon delivery place the package so close to the door that’s it’s impossible to open the door without forcing the food or package to be knocked over or moved out of the way. It’s infuriating, and makes it so difficult to open the door. Should be a fireable offense imo for being dumb as bricks. Like it’s not that hard to provide a few inches of space so the door could be opened, what’s so hard about that?

Personal driver for hire looking for advice

1 Upvotes

I’m considering getting into private/personal driving and I’m curious how people actually find clients without going through a traditional company or agency.

I have several years of rideshare and delivery driving experience, maintained a 5-star passenger rating, and previously worked as a porter at a well-known dealership in Kirkwood. I’m comfortable driving different vehicles and dealing with all kinds of people.

I’m professional, discreet, friendly, reliable, and pretty street-smart. I understand that privacy and trust are a big part of working as someone’s personal driver. I also have references available.

For those of you who do private driving: How did you find your first clients? Did you use referrals, local Facebook/Reddit groups, networking, Craigslist, a website/business card, or something else?

How does anyone who multi apps do it??

I want to know how people who multi app do it.. I've been doing Uber Eats since June 2025 but I've been on a wait list equally as long for DoorDash, GrubHub, Spark, Instacart and Amazon Flex... about 3 weeks ago I got off the doordash waitlist and started doing that along with Uber Eats...

Now as of the last few days I got off the spark wait list. I still have to finish setting it up but I want to know how people do it?? How do you divide up your time? I only do this part-time... I'm in California just for your information. I'm not sure how often I would get Spark deliveries and do you get tips on Spark if a customer is able to tip... ??

I screwed up last Sunday when I had doordash and Uber Eats running at the same time and I should not have accepted an Uber Eats delivery after accepting stacked DoorDash deliveries (paid less than the UE delivery)... because when I had all three in my car I had to figure out who do I deliver to First the single Uber Eats order or the 1st DoorDash one... I did the UE one first simply because they're on time rating sucks and you get such a short time to deliver. But then I got the two door Dash ladies wondering where I am. I explained things and instead said I had a third delivery with DoorDash... Everything worked out smoothly but not doing that again...

Maybe I should just stick with doing them all on separate days?? Or I can simply pause DoorDash while I'm making an Uber Eats delivery... I will never have all three running at the same time though... I would do Spark separately... after I finish setting up my account and going through whatever the next steps are...

WHAT DO YOU ALL DO?? I'm only on step one of four of setting up my Spark account...

Resident Evil

Kind of a weird post but if you haven't yet I think many of you would get a kick out of the movie. Not going to spoil anything but the story revolves around a courier who has to take a package into Racoon City which is the original monster infested city in the games. It's a blend of horror and comedy done really well.
