"The drivers are seeing $2, maybe $3 ," Elliot continued."I'm making $2 and destroying my car. These companies are making billions while consumers and driver struggle, and through the pandemic, job loss and unemployment have skyrocketed."
Uber Eats did not respond to a request for comment on this story. DoorDash, which Elliot mentioned in his video and used to drive for, said in a statement that the company is proud to provide"flexible opportunities for Dashers to earn on their own schedule around their own needs, making more than $22 per hour that they're on a job and serving as supplemental income for the majority on our platform." According to the company, the $22-an-hour figure is a national average.
"I have been just totally blown away," said Elliot. While he's not sure exactly how much money has been raised, he estimates it to be around $55,000."None of it was expected. I didn't post the video expecting people to reach out or expecting money or handouts or anything."
Well it depends, he needs to get on more the one delivery service - get on all of them - to max out rush hour.
