Welcome to the gig economy. If you’re like me, you enjoy the flexibility of working for a rideshare or delivery app company. These are typically referred to as “Transportation Network Companies” or TNCs. The best company for you may depend on what is important to you. I have tried Postmates (Uber Eats), DoorDash and Grubhub. As you can see all of these are delivery services.
I chose this sector because I really don’t like dealing with customers in my car.
The burritos from Chipotle don’t talk back, they have a moderately pleasant odor and they don’t care how messy my car is. As long as I don’t spill the salsa or the hot ramen from the local noodle place, I am perfectly fine delivering food and other essentials rather than shuffling people around. Uber and Lyft have requirements as to the year, make and model of your vehicle and its overall appearance. My beat up Hyundai doesn’t make the cut for them. They also have age requirements for their drivers. Since I’m 20, these three delivery companies work best for me. Here’s my experience with the three of them:
| Company | Avg. tip | Base pay | Hourly rate | Bonus potential | Technology | Overall rating |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| DoorDash | $3.78 | $6.50 | $24.74 | ★★★★☆ | ★★★★★ | ★★★★★ |
| Grubhub | $4.12 | $6.00 | $21.19 | ★★★☆☆ | ★★★★☆ | ★★★★☆ |
| Postmates | $5.22 | $6.25 | $19.26 | ★★★☆☆ | ★★★☆☆ | ★★★☆☆ |
My overall experience is that DoorDash offers the best pay and the easiest to use technology. Specifically, I like how you can check into a “zone” by territory. They also display the bonus potential by zone. My experience with Postmates was prior to Uber Eats purchasing them so my ratings reflect my Postmates experience. I recommend you try whatever service works for you in your area.

To all you parents out there, make sure you check with your insurance agent to ensure you and your children have proper insurance coverage. In most cases, you need to purchase an additional endorsement to be used for ridesharing or delivery apps.
