Below the video, viewers of the viral clip had varied reactions about the amount of money earned by the DoorDash driver in one hour.
In the comment selection, some agreed with Tiana's experience, stating that it takes all day to make $100 with DoorDash, and the first hour's earnings usually cover gas expenses.
While some others aim to achieve earnings similar to Tina's, they typically dash for at least 3 or more hours.
One person said: Considering you pay for your own fuel it’s little more then a side hustle. I’ve done it and considering my day job pays decent money it didn’t feel worth my time .
A second wrote: I usually make 11 - 12 dollars an hour no matter how long I stay out.
While a third commented: It depends on how much work you put in. If you treat it like a full time job then you will make more. You also have to find the hot zones.
Someone else said: If she showed up at my house with that junk hanging out of her nose I would give her $1.
Another wrote: Once you calculate the wear and tear on your car, and milage depreciation, it’s much less.
DoorDash drivers' earnings comprise three components.
DoorDash drivers often receive three components, including base pay (time, distance, desirability), promotions (peak pay, challenges), and tips.
Notably, drivers take home 100 percent of their tips. Base pay is DoorDash’s base contribution for each order, and peak pay applies during busy periods.
