Episode Description
We would love to hear your feedback!
We trade notes on what it takes to keep gig income stable during a slow summer stretch, from stacking apps to chasing the right kind of delivery routes. We also break down the latest platform moves that hit drivers and customers at the same time, from new DoorDash fees to deactivation rules, AI support cuts, and robotaxi competition.

• DoorDash’s new fee structure including distance-based fees and “farther away” labels
• NYC deactivation transparency rules getting blocked and what fair appeals could look like
• why dash cam timing and complaint details matter for driver defense
• how a filthy delivery bag changes customer trust even if the food is sealed
• a ring-camera child abuse case and the reality of always being on camera
• Uber cutting customer service staff while pushing AI and forcing hub relocation
