For food delivery couriers

Mileage receipts for DoorDash, Uber Eats and Grubhub

Pickup, dropoff and between-order travel.

Food delivery couriers have the highest volume of short trips in the gig economy. Cumulative passes 5,000 km/month for full-time.

Common pains

• Platform does not capture deadhead — Between-order travel unlogged.
• Idle hot-spot wait — Waiting in a hot zone is deductible travel.
• Multi-platform — DoorDash, Uber Eats, Grubhub simultaneously.

Best practices

• Use auto-logging app — Captures deadhead.
• Start/end-of-shift odometer — Shift total is benchmark.
• Log hot-spot positioning — Frequently forgotten.
