@terranlikekaren: How I Decide Which Door Dash Orders to take and If a DoorDash Order Is TRASH or CASH 💰 | DoorDash Miles vs Pay Strategy New Dashers always ask: “How do you know which DoorDash orders are actually worth taking?” This is exactly how I analyze every single order before I accept it — using pay, miles, restaurant speed, drop-off location, and my ability to catch the next order fast. I don’t just ask, “Does this pay enough?” I ask, “Does this make sense for my time, mileage, and hourly goal?” ✅ Pay vs miles ✅ Fast restaurant vs slow restaurant ✅ Where the delivery ends ✅ How quickly I can get my next order This is how Dashers break out of that $10–$12/hr trap and start thinking like the ones averaging $20–$30/hr (market dependent, of course). My name is Terran like Karen, and I help Dashers analyze orders to see if they’re trash or cash — so you stop guessing and start earning with intention. 👉🏽 SAVE this video so you can reference it while you’re dashing 👉🏽 FOLLOW for real DoorDash strategy, not hype 👉🏽 Comment “TRASH or CASH” if you want more breakdowns like this

Melissa Marie :

Wingstop is the absolute worst! They take way too much of my time 🤣

Ashley Nikole :

Just started… and I’ve seen things saying the more orders you take “higher acceptance rate” means the algorithm will send you higher paying orders. Is this true?

✞ Moody Tiff ✞ :

I just started door dashing and had no idea you could click on the house to see exactly where the delivery is before clicking accept. Wish I knew that before accepting a couple orders that were a bit farther than I'd liked to have driven

The_Journey76 :

Working for DoorDash is a 100% rip off

Kuhns :

Door dash lies a lot on the miles

Ryan Nestrud :

don't door dash, it's not worth it. you make more with Shipt.

user842930583681 :

You’re doing all that while driving down the road??

donewiththis :

do you calculate your pay by dash time or active time?

My Starbucks I always get high offers low mileage but I don’t even get greeted or helped at my Starbucks and I’m always late getting the order. I always message my customers though

Jaclyn Wimpy :

Silly question but do you have to go to the specific store DoorDash sends you to? The other night I got an order from the worst dollar general in my area. They’re never stocked and stuff is always a mess. On the way I passed a better dollar general and it wouldn’t have affected my mileage any. I wanted to stop at the better one but I wasn’t sure if I could 🤣

JordanG :

Bro you don’t have that much time to decide all these things especially if it’s a good order that time limit goes quick

Samantha Graham :

I done a $9 dash for 5 miles then a $3.25 on my way home since I was going that direction anyway

Adam McMahon :

pickupman2.0 :

who is that even possible when we only have seconds two except for deny the order especially when you're driving now I will say this i do this part time just know the weekends and I do around $400 both days

TerranLikeKaren :

If you’re Door Dashing , screen shot an order and I’ll analyze!! 👇🏽

bengals1st :

My goal is $40-$50 per hour

Justin Caldwell :

I see a lot of people talk about if order is worth it by miles and never by time. Not every city or metro area is the same. Driving 8 miles isn’t the same anywhere you go. I think time should be more of an indicator of a good order rather than miles but maybe it’s just because I live in a smaller city

Cutegirlonthesidelin :

I had an order for 12.75 and it was 2 orders for 2 different customers and the miles was 13.2 . It was taking me out far from where I’m located at . Also, I did door dash a while back and I had to drive far out . I really wanna make some extra cash on the weekends. It just those far drives are a killer and gas . But since I been watching your videos I might start doing door dash on the weekends again I just gotta figure out what time to go .

Angie❌ :

Some great tips there. Thank you for sharing 😁

sarabeara02 :

Friend. Are you planning on dashing tomorrow? I don’t really have family so I won’t be celebrating much. Wondering if it would be worth it ? Would anything really be open ?

Kimberly Watkins 50’❌ :

If you don’t accept it it Low your acceptance rate

mamtk3 :

How do you see the drop off distance from the pick up location ect ahead of time

Courtney Bowlden Photography :

This happened to me tonight. But almost all I was getting offered were not worth it. How do you handle the decline rate?

It’s Me MomE! :

I do the same thing you do. I also have my list of slow restaurants that I won’t take. I get stacked orders all the time. Worked Saturday for 7 hours and made $198. I do Uber Eats.
