When assessing a food delivery driver’s income, you can’t rely solely on total revenue or the peak months of a few individuals. To determine your earning potential, keep a record of every income transaction, actual hours worked, fuel costs, maintenance expenses, insurance, and taxes over a traceable period, and distinguish between peak and off-peak seasons.
Any conclusions can only apply to one’s own city, platform, vehicle type, and work schedule; they should not be taken as a guarantee for new drivers.
