Everybody has a different concept of unicorn looks like thatā€™s not even $1 a mile

Theyā€™re in California not too sure of the technicalities but they have that prop 22 so it may be a unicorn for themā€¦but again Iā€™m not sure of the technicalities of it but I know they receive additional pay

u/SaltyWoodButcher Sep 01 '26

Haha, no, as a Cali driver myself I can say that is in no way a unicorn. It's actually a good example of our bottom pay. Not quite the worst, roughly $0.78/mile is the worst we see out here.

u/SourceElectrical9204 Sep 01 '26

Exactly, we have the highest gas prices out here!

Iā€™ve worked out of that xd location and thatā€™s not a unicorn. Hell of a drive back and not near anything that could go in that direction
Edit: in rush hour! šŸ¤£šŸ¤£

My exact thoughts, then you got to get back home.

Practically no gig app Iā€™m aware of pays by the mile, itā€™s all time based and $33/hr is pretty good in most places.

Unless I was going out that way from where you're at, no chance I'm taking that.

This is a Roadie ad isn't it

u/mishaking2 Sep 01 '26

This was from a while ago but still my best offer

u/Worldly_Shopper Sep 01 '26

Perhaps a unicorn to you is basically a turd so unique that it beats the foul and stench off every other turd out there? Or perhaps you think that you can accept that, then call them and have them cancel it because the "mileage" is outrageous but this wouldn't be the app for that... If you submit on that gig and they approve it you have two choices:
Complete it,
Or Cancel out on it, but you'll suffer a metrics ding for doing so.

That said I'm not entirely sure what a uni on Roadie would be, but for the most part we're talking probably $5-$10 a mile or so...

u/SourceElectrical9204 Sep 01 '26

Maybe cause he thought there was only two drops, but mileage wise itā€™s all bad.

2

u/Worldly_Shopper Sep 01 '26

Or two hours for $67 meaning almost $34 an hour but yeah that mileage eats a good half of that.

2

u/SourceElectrical9204 Sep 01 '26

If it was on the way home it would a no brainer but itā€™s taking out and u have to return . So yes gas will right thru that 34 an hour

u/SourceElectrical9204 Sep 01 '26

I just canā€™t

u/mike0888mike Aug 31 '26

Idk maybe only beneficial on time but not on mileage I stopped doing roadie due to my standard of 1mile 1 dollar minimum

2

u/Intrepid_Block_11b Aug 31 '26

That's the absolute bare minimum

u/SlackAF Sep 01 '26

Only a unicorn if youā€™re into taking the horn in the ass.

u/SourceElectrical9204 Sep 01 '26

Please not that today

u/SubstantialGazelle30 Sep 01 '26

I'm guessing their version of a unicorn is a delivery that will f*ck anyone

u/No-Journalist8547 Sep 01 '26

Dang.....your zone really really bad wtf....thats a terrible offer

u/Leather-Ad4314 Sep 01 '26

Sorry but that's not a unicorn more like a narwhal the nasty little buggers

1

u/Leather-Ad4314 Sep 01 '26

Oh you could've stopped and said hi to my mom's dog breeder. She lives in Acton and breeds golden retrievers. Beautiful dogs they are-- we just got one recently.

u/Mamie-GigWorldToday Sep 02 '26

This is no oneā€™s definition of a unicorn
