Does anyone know how much driving I can expect to do on average? It was probably stupid not to think of this beforehand, but I really needed a job. I don't want to build up the kilometers on my car so quickly, and the fact that it eats up gas like nothing means that I'll have to be spending a ton of money on fuel.

I needed a job so I can work on my car, but I don't want to be spending all the money I earn to keep servicing the car every 5,000km or every month or whatever, and I don't want to be spending heaps of money on gas.

Any recommendations/tips? The store doesn't have a dedicated vehicle for deliveries.

why are you and every other millenial completely unaware of temp agencies? there is nothing better you can do, i really doubt Dominos is giving you benefits anyway
>>
What mpg you get?

>>17482197
Temp agencies? Anyways, I've tried a recruiting agency and it's about a month now and they have yet to get back to me. I don't work for Dominos, it's a local pizza place. And we don't have tipping in Australia so I'll be getting about $18/hr.

>>17482200
I have no idea, and I don't know how to find out. I guess I get about 300-350km out of a full tank?

Oh yeah also the car currently has 30,800km on it, and I wanna try to make it last as long as possible. I've already driver 5,000km since buying it back in April and apparently the amount I've driver is too much for such a short period of time.

Well ask what your delivery range is
My pizza place only delivers in a 10 mile radius

Now ask what the average amount of deliveries will be mines about 2-3 an hour for a 8 hour shift means 16-24 a shift

Now we take that and times the 10 mile radius meaning 10 miles there and back 20 miles meaning
20 miles times 16 deliveries a shift = 320 miles or 20 miles x 24 deliveries on the high side of a shift = 480 miles

TL:DR no matter where you are it's gonna be hell on your car once you start working immediately start saving for a "beater car" essentially a civic that you can drive as hard and as fast as you want doesn't have to look pretty but that's a plus

>I have no idea, and I don't know how to find out.
Write down odometer and amount of gas at every gas stop you do, full up completely, then do some Excel magic. Or use one of those websites, not sure which one you guys use in <whereever you live>
>>
>>17482266
Well fuck, that's a lot of driving. I know that there's 4 other workers there who do deliveries so hopefully I won't have as many as 16-24 deliveries a shift. I guess I'll definitely have to look at getting a real shitbox.
>>
>>17482212
Use an app to find out your mileage it's not that hard
>>
>>17482212
you have an 18 yoear old car with just 30k km´s on it? How the fuck did that happen?
>>
>>17482330
It's imported, and has apparently been garaged for a while.

Either that, or it's been rolled back. It's probably been rolled back, but for an 18 year old car it's in pretty much perfect condition.
>>
>tfw my pizza place gives us company cars to drive
>tfw my car sits in the back, parking in the shade the whole time
Feels good.
>>
>>17482364
If it's been rolled back that's a federal offense
>>
>>17482298
or just do the fucking math

>Does anyone know how much driving I can expect to do on average?
Depends on the business and delivery area.

You'll easily clock 80 miles if you work an 8-hour shift if your store makes about $3,200/day. You may make up to $80 on that kind of shift, otherwise you're only going to make $20-$30 on a 5-hour shift.

Be sure you know the areas known to be speed traps so you'll know when you can get away with speeding, although, if you're working at Papa John's, they're coming out with car toppers that will read your telemetry and location, so I would avoid doing anything illegal.

Make sure to wear sunglasses during the day; it's great for looking at a customer's tits without them knowing, just don't make it obvious.

kek that's some shitty gas mileage

Most deliveries are going to be within a 10 km range, assuming you live in a city, so assuming you do at least 10 deliveries per night you'll be putting on around 200 km on it.

To be honest, it doesn't sound like you have the right car for it, maybe you do, but I wouldn't ruin the low miles on it for a pizza delivery job

don't ask me if I want cheese and peppers, just have them already presented tucked into the side of the box fold.

I've delivered pizza since 2008.

I only work the rush shift two nights a week nowadays for extra income. I work from 6 to 9pm, during the busiest hours. I typically put about 15-60 miles on my car a night, depending on how late I am there and how busy it is. I would say I average around 30 miles. I deliver in a suburban area.

Tips : Don't work for them if the area you are working in is very low class or dangerous. They aren't giving you hazard pay or anything. It isn't worth it.

Track your mileage either by hand or use an app like MileIQ. Claim the mileage on your taxes. Also use your mileage to calculate how much it is costing you to drive to see if it is more profitable to work a generic retail/food service job or to deliver pizza. If you cost to drive ends up with you making *less* than you would if you worked inside or somewhere else, don't deliver.

Try to get an efficient beater for delivery, like an older Prius or some other relatively efficient car. Pump the tires up a lot, but not over the max sidewall and not so high that traction is reduced. Drive efficiently. Accelerate relatively slowly, anticipate stops ahead, etc. Don't be that dumbass that treats every stop sign and red light like a drag strip light pole. Especially when it in your best financial interest to save fuel and be gentle on your car to reduce repair costs.

Carry a concealed weapon if you can. Your employer will tell you that you can't. I recommend doing it anyway if you can get a concealed carry permit and make sure no one can see it. Also carry a flashlight, extra sauce cups, napkins, packets etc if you can. You are likely to forget Joe's extra ranch cups one day and having some in your car could spare you a long drive back to the store then back to Joe.

Just read that you live in cuckedstralia.

Don't deliver to minorities. They will mug you and kill you, especially now that self defense (guns) are banned in Australia.

Also watch for spiders.

Why not get into auto repair, OP? Then you can work on cars and get paid for it.

I've tried, but every place I've applied to said that I need previous experience for the job, and I don't have that.

>>17484300
No.

If you live in Straya then keep a log of how much you're driving. Write down your odometre at the beginning and end of every shift, keep going until you hit 5000km.

When it comes round to tax return time, you can claim back 66 cents for every kilometre traveled up to 5000km. As a result I'm getting a sweet $3,300 back on my tax return, plus the usual $700.

I was driving a cheap shitbox Kia that cost me essentially nothing to maintain, so this is a giant profit for me.

Temp agencies are literally a way for a company to tempt you with potential for permanent employment, then pull the rug out from under you, all while avoiding giving any kind of benefit beyond a bathroom break and a 30 minute lunch. It's the biggest employment scam there is.

>>17482190
All depends on your delivery area. The Domino's I work at has the smallest delivery area of the three local stores, but we also cover a much more densely settled area. In 8 hours I'll do anywhere between 40 and 70 miles per shift, averaging $60 a day in tips.

Our store will pull in something like $5000 a day on average, and even on a slower week I can go home with $450 - $550. That's -per week-, anon. Be responsible with your money and driving, and you can save up a solid down payment and be in a car made this decade. Just be prepared for the headaches that come with the job and this can be incredibly lucrative.
