I’m an independent courier doing mostly pharmacy runs and legal documents, with some DoorDash when things get slow. Almost everything runs through my phone: dispatch, maps, signatures, and delivery photos.

Today was 11 hours and 38 stops, with one bathroom break at a Sheetz around 2pm 😅

Some stops are quick, others mean waiting 25 minutes for someone to sign paperwork or making two trips because a nursing home’s front desk closes for lunch. Meanwhile, the dispatcher keeps texting like I can teleport between deliveries.

My phone usually dies around hour seven, so I keep a power bank attached and recharge it in the car. I also use open-ear earbuds for dispatcher calls so I can still hear people approaching while making deliveries.

Other essentials: a clipboard for manifests, nitrile gloves, a cooler, and a phone mount that’s survived three cars.

When your entire workday depends on your phone, these little things make a huge difference.

Researching the challenges delivery riders face, especially during night shifts love to hear your honest opinions.

Have you ever faced a dangerous road, unexpected traffic jam, or accident during a delivery?

If you had an accident and couldn’t use your phone, who would know?

Do women delivery riders face specific safety challenges while working at night? What support would help?

Would you use a community app where riders share live traffic updates, report unsafe situations, and help nearby riders in emergencies?

Would verified fundraising for riders facing serious medical emergencies be useful?

Would recognising riders who help others encourage more people to support the community?

What’s the biggest problem you face as a delivery rider that you wish to be solve?

Honest criticism is welcome!

Где в курьерке фармить деньги лучше без стресса? Дорабатываю в Яндекс еде, в последнее время всё просто ужасно. Яндекс бомбанули и приложение слетело ко всем чертям. Да и до этого не устраивала ни зп, ни поддержка. Где лучше? Если кто есть из Екб, вообще здорово.
