In fact, when you start running deliveries, run a few orders and you'll know what gear you need!
Apart from the most basic navigation racks, locomotives and helmets, all these advanced equipment can be considered slowly.
Just run a few orders, and then slowly purchase what you need, rather than buying all the recommended and premium gear at once.
Some you may not use at all .... It's a waste of money.
First, we will introduce the recommended equipment for summer, winter and rainy days.
I. 6-hole cup holder
Recommendation:★★★★★
This some delivery platforms give away when you join, mainly to secure unsealed drinks.
For example: McDonald's, Starbucks, if I don't have a 6-hole cup holder with me when I go out, I will avoid McDonald's....
Because there is no fixed situation, as long as the delivery of a single McDonald's drinks, the meal loss is bound to be there, even worse is that after the delivery of this order can be ready to go down the line ..... I have to go back and wash the big boxes.
Of course, there are also complementary solutions. If you really don't have one or forget to bring one, you can ask McDonald's, Starbucks, etc. for a free cup holder.
But they are all expendable and not deep enough, and there is a high chance that a small puddle on the road will shock you and you'll be ready to wash the box.
Second, small carry bag / insulation bag
Recommendation:★★★★★
This is mainly for good to take, if the meal is packaged in paper bags, it is very recommended to put into a small bag, when it rains all the wet state of the hand, as long as you pick up the paper bag, not 10 seconds the bag will be wet, and then broken ...
Especially when running Uber eats, a small carry bag is absolutely necessary, because Uber eats does not actively provide plastic bags, and customers do not always remember to buy bags, so if you do not have a carry bag, it is very difficult to take orders from convenience stores, hypermarkets, and beverage stores, and it's very hard to get into the car and even up the stairs with a few packs of snacks or three to five cups of drinks.
Note: McDonald's is actually the same, but now McDonald's Uber eats interface offers $0 free plastic bags!
Generally speaking, Panda will have shopping bags, Uber eats will provide newbie bags, Lara will have small boxes, all of which are some good ready-made options.
Motorcycle Handlebar Cover
Recommendation:★★★★
Why do you recommend him? Because deliverymen are frozen to death in winter, sunburned in summer, and drenched in rain.
Handlebar covers are not only unattractive and easy to steal, but they can protect against wind in winter, sun in summer, and rain in rainy days. Although the rainproof effect will not be full marks, but he can let you in the rainy days, do not have to often wipe your hands can also slide the phone, at least can block off more than 90% of the rain!
IV. Masks
Recommendation:★★★★
All platforms recommend wearing a mask, but his function is not only to prevent viruses, but also a good choice for protection against sun, wind, rain and air pollution, and the other function is to hide their very ”shit” expression from their guests. DisadvantagesLargest quantity of consumablesIf you wear it for a long time, your ears will hurt and you may not be able to hear well when you talk to the customers at the store.
Tip: If it hurts when you wear it for a long time, you can put a piece of tissue paper on the elastic band, which can definitely save your ears.
V. Bluetooth Headset
Recommendation:★★★★
Wearing a helmet to make phone calls is the best partner, but also a good helper in the delivery road to kill time, yelling at the cell phone or mobile phone stuffed in the helmet is not a very recommended practice, especially sometimes the store, the guest's address can not be found, hanging a headset while asking for directions while riding is very convenient.
When you are bored on the bike, a headset can let you listen to music, catch up on dramas (please don't look at the screen), listen to the radio, call someone to chat, and complain. It will be very enjoyable when you run a single, and it's also a small benefit to deliver when you go to work and race with your friends, lover, and family without any limitations.
The disadvantage is that headphones are not cheap, and some cheap headphones are very hurt ears, expensive to two, three, four or five thousand, the power is also a few hours on the gone, my own practice is to wear only one headphone at a time, no power and then change another, really occasionally earache to pause for a while.
There are a lot of headsets that can listen to music, but very few that can ”talk”, and they also suffer from the quality of communication software and networks, and it's impossible to chat without windproof and noise-canceling headphones.
The result is that it's more convenient to chat via DC, because when you enter the elevator to chat with the online community, you will be disconnected.

Two-piece raincoat
Recommendation:★★★★★
As the old saying goes, it protects you from rain in the rainy days and keeps you warm in the winter, and you should have never seen a delivery person using a one-piece raincoat to deliver food, because when you get out of the car to pick up or deliver the food, you always need to find a place to put your handset key, and a one-piece raincoat is a good way to do that.“Every time I get out of the car, I'm lifting my skirt.”Even the front opening is not better, once you open the front buttons rain and cold wind will pour in, usually an hour after the wet through the ....
VII. Car logger/secret recorder
Recommendation:★★★★★★
The cheaper ones can be found for 1000, but they have to be charged all the time because the power/memory card capacity is only 4-8 hours. Higher end car chargers can be had for 2-3k, and 2-3k for installation, adding up to 5k. And the chances of actually using it are very low, even I didn't get one until this year.
The secret recorder is a way to protect yourself from being able to record Océan and magical stores. Some of the videos of deliverymen that appear on the internet are from the secret recorder, which was originally something that the police would hang on their bodies when they were on duty, but for the sake of fair law enforcement, it has also been taken out by a lot of deliverymen to be used, and a lot of people bought it in the beginning, but then they didn't bother to use it.
I've only installed the car recorder myself.The original purpose of a tachograph is to protect yourself from car accidents, but there are many examples of people who have actually lost money by taking out their tachographs.After running on the road for a long time, it's easy to see something interesting or something you want to record.Even the money-making stuff.The first thing I want to do is to make sure that you are aware of all the people in your car. Simply put, if someone in front of the car is littering, or a thief car, record it and report it to the police for a 10-30% bonus, but more importantly, it's a good idea.If you record a car accident, you can ”sell” it to the police for an extra $1,000-$10,000.
See links to government notices Starting from June 1, 2013, people who provide images of hit-and-run and other traffic accidents to clear up the case will receive a bonus of up to 10,000 yen.
Although the chance of recording is not high, but in terms of full-time delivery, the chance of seeing a car accident is really super high, some of the delivery can be recorded every day, some of the delivery can be three times a day, although it is very difficult to record the moment of impact, but once recorded is a few thousand, there is no question of personal information law, because it is provided to the police. The disadvantage is that if a bunch of people record it, it depends on who is quick to hand it over to the police. Whether it's a bonus or a good deed, it's a good way to get your paycheck up.
The disadvantage is that charging trouble, mounted on the car and be careful to be stolen or cut wires, and even many motorcycle companies do not cooperate to help install, I myself is to adopt a dual mirror front and rear, the screen is hidden in the car, I feel less conspicuous.
Mobile Power
Recommendation:★★★★★★
Why is it that I'm so far behind in the list of must-haves for many people's deliveries and still only have 3 stars?
Because he's a faster consumable for me than Bluetooth headphones, I haven't taken my mobile power out of the house since I switched to a wireless charging navigation rack.
I still have 5 mobile power supplies in my cabinet, but I don't dare to use each one of them. I've sprayed my mobile power supply 10 times on the bike path, some of them are broken after dropping, some of them still work after dropping, and some of them can't be picked up. The most troublesome thing is that on rainy days he is second only to the charging cable consumables, as long as the whole soaked in water to the machine, the mobile power I do not dare to use it again, has been soaked in water mobile power is likely to rust, the voltage is not normal to lead toReduced cell phone lifeEven destroying cell phones.I don't want to bet a few hundred dollars on whether it will destroy my multi-million dollar cell phone. A cell phone is worth thousands or tens of thousands of dollars, but a mobile power supply is worth a few hundred. I wouldn't dare to bet a few hundred dollars on whether or not it would damage my tens of thousands of dollars cell phone...
A motorcycle navigation rack wireless charging models about seven or eight hundred dollars plus motorcycle installation fee of 250 yuan, about one thousand dollars of spending can directly allow you to get rid of mobile power, cable wear and tear, and rainy days do not have to worry about the phone without power! If you want to get 60,000 to 80,000 dollars a month, just use the car charger!
If your cell phone does not have wireless charging, it is recommended that you buy several mobile power supplies and cables at a time.
Nine. Money Finder
Recommendation:★
Of course it's necessary to make change when there's a cash order, and it's true that a money changer can help the delivery person get the change out quickly, but I've never considered getting one.Because if you find the money too fast, the tip will be less. When the customer sees that you find the money so fast, how many seconds can he tell you that he doesn't need to find the money?
Also, it's not too small to fit in your pocket, so you may have to buy a small fanny pack to put your ”money changer” in....
X. Money Checker Pen
Recommendation:★
Functionality is certainly full of points, who are afraid of receiving counterfeit money. However, the practicality is extremely low, the delivery usually want to find the money immediately go to run the next order, very few and almost no one will take out the pen out of the bill checker to look at one by one, and then if the guests to see the words, usually will cause dissatisfaction of the guests.
Not many owners of convenience stores/roadside stalls/shops would dare to take a pen to check their customers' banknotes, what about counterfeit banknotes? What about counterfeit bills?
My personal recommendation is a big bill.“Look twice more at the reflection” + ”Use the touch”If you are really unfortunate enough to not be able to find it and get a fake bill, the official saying is that you are out of luck, but my general practice is to take an ATM and throw it in, and replace it with another one if one doesn't work out. At least I've never gotten any fake bills so far...
If you are running Uber eats you can also just turn off the cash bill and not get it without hassle.
XI. Toilet paper, rags, kettle
Recommendation:★★★★★
These are more on the personal side of things, but of course they are practical, wiping off excess soup and drink rainwater, running deliveries all day, and keeping a water bottle is a must. Another reason I'm listing this is becauseWe need a regular meal.The bag can be used to wipe off the overflowing meal. Many chicken fried food store do not like to tie the bag, but because the delivery box is very large, cycling on the road meals will be up and down, left and right, open the box to see the salty crispy chicken, fries run out of the bag air is very normal, the shopkeeper also often asked to tie up will be soft ... ... do not know that in fact the entire delivery box is a closed space, the delivery box is a closed space.It didn't soften just because it was too close to soften.
If you are a store that likes to use plastic bags to stack your meals and not tie them up, the stacks will surely fall down when you open the box, and it's not uncommon to see the contents being ”stirred up” when you open the box.
Therefore, it is necessary to take some sundries to the file, can greatly reduce the chance of tipping over, and if the clerk just did not seal the integrity of the words, tipping things fall out can be reported directly to the meal loss off work to wash the box.
Some delivery guys will put hooks in their boxes just to hook these meals. Personally, I usually just tie it up when I get it and don't let it fall into my box!
Equipment Introduction Winter and Summer
It's winter. Let's start with winter.
Usually when I'm delivering, it's colder because of the cold wind.
I always dress down 5-10 degrees from the weather temperature.
XII. Scarves
Recommendation:★★★★★★
Normally, a jacket with a collar that stands up to block the wind can increase the body temperature by three degrees, but without a collar, you have to rely on a scarf.
XIII. Gloves
Recommendation:★★★★★★
It's essential to buy gloves that you can use to operate your cell phone. There are gloves that are made to be easy to press the screen, and some people recommend open-fingered gloves. I personally recommend half-finger gloves, because with full-finger gloves it's almost impossible to get cash, it's too difficult to open wallets and grab bills with gloves on, unless you choose to uber eats without opening a cash register.
XIV. Woolly hats
Recommendation:★
This part is very random, but I always wear it when there is a cold front. Although the helmet covers a large part of my head, my forehead is usually not covered! If my forehead has been exposed to cold wind for a day, I will have a headache at night and the next day. ....
in summer
One of the worst fears of summer is heat stroke and sunburn.
XV. Cool coat and pants
Recommendation:★★★★★
As long as the clothes can be cool through the heart are good clothes, after all, the deliveryman is no matter winter and summer are wrapped up as a robber, the sun is actually very hot and hurt the body!
Sixteen, helmet liner
Recommendation:★★★★★★
Sweat easily in summer, helmets are not easy to wash and it is recommended to change the liner often.
It's best to throw it in the washing machine with your sweaty, smelly clothes, but remember to wrap the bag first, or else the devil's blankets may damage your other clothes.
If you don't change them often enough, you'll soon get an itchy scalp or even sick, and the liner will smell worse than socks that haven't been washed in days...
Beyond that .....
