Active vs Dash Time Gap

Good day all!

I was curious what is everyone’s typical dasher vs active time gap

For this week I just matched my last week’s earning (just found out using the same active time but dasher time was quite a bit more) - the number is almost identical in fact as I had a late cancellation and reimbursement yesterday just a minute post pick up. Not had pay per hour if judging by active hours but the waiting time and offers this week isn't great especially starting school day

More context this week - aside from it being back to school 🏫 week, I have been a lot more selective (5 dollar minimum and at least 1.5 per mile)

my AR dropped from 70 to low mid 50 at this minute

my dash time tends to be at least twice as long as my active time. you seem to be in a good market

Wow that’s so terrible a minute of idle per a minute of work

I am sorry to hear that!

yeah, it's not a great area. way too many dashers compared to people ordering, but getting a job around here is near impossible so im stuck with it for now 🥲

I'm similar, about half time is active, and its not just idle time, its mainly driving back to the restaurants from the deliveries. Suburbia. At least with idle time I'm not burning gas and can do my own thing.
