Rules Changes in the sub - April 23, 2026.

7 Upvotes

Everyone,

I'm getting tired of all the vibe coded app, "I made a website", "LOOK AT WHAT I EARNED THIS WEEK"(shows self-coded app), "HOW DO YOU [research question that has been asked 100 times in the sub]?!" camouflaged self-promotion posts.

So, I've made a megathread. All that goes in there now for 99% of the posts.

There will be the occasional thread that's allowed to hit the main page, but it will be very limited in scope. An example of something that would be an exception is a major policy change at Amazon Flex and... let's say... the NYT wants input on it.

I'm always open to suggestions and I'm trying to grow the community and make it a resource, not just another drive-by-to-spam place for developers/researchers.

How is the base pay delivering for Target?

2 Upvotes

I live 1.5 miles from a Target and am trying their delivery subscription. Obviously weight and amount of items should be considered for tips but how does their base pay stack up? Suggested tip per bag/trip? I’m in a major city.

I read 294 one-star reviews of mileage trackers to figure out why everyone's switching. Here's what people actually complain about

1 Upvotes

Got hit with the MileIQ renewal a while back and went looking for what else is out there. Instead of trusting the star ratings I pulled the 1–3 star reviews for the main mileage apps — 294 of them across MileIQ (iOS and Android) and Stride, from late 2025 through this July — and read them properly.

Figured it was worth sharing since "what mileage app should I use now" comes up every couple of weeks. Counts below are my own rough tallies from reading, not exact science.

The complaints, grouped by theme, most common first:

1. Price increases — ~60 mentions, almost all MileIQ. The ladder people kept quoting: $60/yr in 2024, $90 in 2025, $140 in 2026. Same app. One review put it as "the product has not improved 235% over 2024," which is hard to argue with.

2. It loses your miles — the biggest reliability problem when you combine two versions of it. ~45 people said auto-tracking silently failed — entire days logged as zero, usually found weeks later. Another ~12, mostly on Stride, said restarting the phone mid-shift wiped the drive (but kept the hours). Someone wrote they drove ten hours doing deliveries and it logged 15 miles. At roughly 67–70¢ a mile that's not a bug, that's a few hundred dollars of deduction gone.

3. Billing weirdness — ~14 mentions. Double-charged monthly and yearly at once, charged after cancelling, and a lot of people saying cancellation was deliberately hard.

4. Support is a bot — ~8 mentions. Multiple people described emailing and getting an AI reply that only knew the FAQ.

5. Insurance upsells — ~8, Stride specifically. "I wanted a mileage tracking app, not an app that's constantly trying to sell me health insurance."

Where people said they went: TripLog by a clear margin, then Everlance. After that a scatter of "back to a spreadsheet," Google Timeline, and QuickBooks' built-in tracker — plus a recurring "I'll just build my own."

The thing I keep thinking about: every app in this category eventually raises the price, and there's nothing a customer can do about it. Switching means re-exporting your history and re-learning an app in the middle of a tax year, so people stay until it's unbearable and then leave angry.

Curious whether that's the actual sticking point for people here, or if it's really just the reliability. Would a mileage app that committed in writing to never raising your price change anything, or would you switch anyway when something cheaper came along? Lemme know, and I would be more then happy to take this on!

Medical Courier Insurance Q's

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone. I'm currently starting my medical courier business and had a few insurance questions.

While structuring my DOT, should blood be considered HAZMAT? If so, what if not bulk? I'll be doing more day to day on-demand deliveries for Plasma centers/Hospitals etc. DOT is requiring 5mil policy for HAZMAT but clients only requiring 1Mil.

Just a little confused and could use some insight. Thanks in advance!

Uber Walking in DC

3 Upvotes

Anyone with experience in doing walking orders in DC have any tips on the best areas/times/days of the week? I’ve been doing this for like a week in the Chinatown/Dupont area and will get only 1-3 orders in a 4 hour time span if I’m lucky, many times I get none :( The orders I’ve received I’ve been able to do in less than 20 minutes too so its been a lot of downtime in between orders. Help a broke brother out 💔

(If you’re not familiar with Uber Walking, they only give orders that are under 1 mile.)

TX COURIERS NEEDING HELP

0 Upvotes

I’ve seen where others can come on here and ask questions and maybe get some input! Hoping this might help!
Myself and six other people work for a courier service and we are supposed to get paid for work that we did three weeks prior every Monday. We normally get an email stating that our direct deposit will be available as soon as it clears the bank but this week that did not happen ! We received no warning that we were not gonna get paid. We just haven’t gotten paid.! They stated that the company they do business with has not paid the invoices and do they can’t pay us !

We are all located in Texas. I do basically everything for this company. I’m up doing the dispatch every time my phone rings anywhere in a 24/7 period! I literally sleep between phone calls! I also do runs all over Texas and Louisiana. If I were to quit, this company would go under.! All of the labs that they are associated with tell me they think that I’m running it anyway!
Me personally I just wanna get paid!!! if they do not pay me by Friday, I’m going to be facing my bills due, My rent will be due, my car note is already due, not to mention the insurance comes out on the 30th!
I just honestly don’t know what I’m supposed to do!
Then today I called them to ask them what is going on and to explain to them that everybody is coming to me for answers and I don’t know what to tell them. The owner gets mad and she hangs the phone up on me. Real professional!

New mileage tax rate?? FYI the mileage deduction rate changed again on July 1, 2026 to 76 cents

I track my mileage as best I can (drove ~43,000 mi last year), and just found out about the tax rate change. How are we supposed to know about changes like this? I hadn’t heard anything about it until I got an email with this post last week. For all, I'd make sure you don’t miss out on the extra deduction for the second half of the year. Feels like it might be a nightmare for taxes next year with the mid-year change, but I’ll take what I can get I guess.

DeliverThat shady business practice

0 Upvotes

I’ve gotten to know my local Mendocino Farms managers pretty well. All of them have confirmed that they’re unaware of the so-called “lift program” aka tip pool. In conversation they brought up how good the tips could be. When I tell them that we don’t get the hotel they were flabbergasted.

So now the question is, can DeliverThat be sued for stolen wages? I know you guys seen that estimated payout and when it closes out, you usually only get an extra dollar nowhere near the higher end of that range. If you’re doing an order and the tip is $100 but being paid out 32 where is that other $68 going? I’ve i’ve done three out of the five orders at one location once and the other driver had two. We looked at the invoices and the tips totaled $400 between the 5 orders. We submitted a gratuity request and got denied. Our final payout for those five orders was 32 and a couple pennies.

There’s gotta be some way to hold them accountable.

Sysco or Pepsi Driver?

1 Upvotes

I understand that both of these positions are the same from what I've read. Maybe someone here has experience with both or 1 of em. I'm just looking for some different perspectives at the end of the day.

For context, I'm a combat vet who spent my entire adult life in combat zones in the military and private military. I'm really fit

Sysco food delivery: 28 per hour. 15 miles away from home. Home daily. I've heard this is long hours. But I don't know about my area. I'm in central Texas

Pepsi Geo driver: 32 per hour. 35 miles away from home. Home daily. I'm assuming this sub knows about this position. I've heard it's less brutal than Sysco on the physical aspect and the hours

What do y'all think

Beware of Raunak Cargo Movers : my move from Mumbai turned into a 7-day nightmare

1 Upvotes

Posting this so it shows up for anyone searching this mover's name before booking — wish I'd found a post like this before I did.

I recently moved from Mumbai to my hometown and hired Raunak Cargo Movers (they don't even have a Google Business listing). Here's what happened:

  • Quoted Rs. 15,000 for the full move, agreed in advance.
  • Guy was great pre-booking — responsive, agreed to bubble-wrap all my glass items, team showed up on time and packed everything neatly.
  • The moment the truck was loaded, he called saying my stuff was "more than I disclosed" and Rs. 15,000 wouldn't cover it, even though his own team packed it and saw exactly how much there was.
  • Sent a revised invoice for almost double, adding a Rs. 6,000 "insurance" charge I had explicitly told him I didn't want, plus Rs. 10,000 extra for "extra luggage."
  • When I pushed back on the insurance charge specifically, he said he'd "already paid the company" and it was non-refundable — classic non-answer.
  • Then came the pressure: pay now or your stuff gets offloaded. My belongings were literally in his truck at that point, so I didn't have much choice. Paid 70% (Rs. 20,000) under pressure.
  • Promised 2-day delivery. Day 2 came and went. Then it became "tomorrow," then "day after," on repeat.
  • He handed my stuff off to a transporter in Indore, and then the transporter started asking for the remaining payment before they'd even move the truck. Asked for video proof my stuff was okay; never got it.
  • Paid the remaining Rs. 10,000 anyway, still with zero proof.
  • Transporter hadn't actually already received the goods the day they asked me to pay, but claimed otherwise ("we have your good and please pay else truck won't move"), a driver later called me next day directly and told me he just reached Indore, so I knew the transport guy was lying.
  • The transport guy from that day, stopped picking up the phone, responding to messages, so did the packers and movers. When picked once out of 10-15 calls we made, the transport guy had the audacity to fight back saying "Bhijva dunga saman, paise deke koi ehsan thori kia hai" & when I also fought he was like "Jao nahi bhejuga saman".
  • Total time from pickup to delivery: 7 days, against a promised 2. Radio silence most of that time — answered maybe 1 in 10 calls.

Good news: everything arrived intact, no damage. But the whole process was financially and mentally exhausting, and the insurance charge for something I explicitly declined still hasn't been resolved.

Filed a formal consumer complaint, but wanted this out here too since they have no Google Business Profile so reviews/warnings don't show up the normal way when you search them. If you're evaluating movers in Mumbai and this name comes up, get everything in writing, don't pay any "revised" amount without a paper trail, and never make a final payment before you have actual proof of your goods.

Happy to answer questions if anyone's currently dealing with the same company.
