How to Make Money on the Road

First of all, if you're traveling it might be a great idea to order your XYO Network Sentinel. It's a device that mines crypto tokens that can be exchanged for other currencies like BitCoin and Ethereum. It's not going to make you a millionaire overnight, but it may buy you a tank of fuel every couple months and someday it could actually fill your bank account with some real cash.  You can order your free geomining sentinel here, you just pay for shipping and handling.

The most reliable way I've found to make money while on the road is with the popular courier services that have popped up in the past few years. I'm talking about UberEats, GrubHub, Postmates, Caviar, and DoorDash to name a few.  If you use the links I've provided you and I can both earn a referral bonus after certain criteria is met.

These services give you the ability to earn an income at your own pace in many different cities.

Caviar is probably the most limited of the apps I've used because it's only offered in major areas like San Francisco, New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, etc. But it's also one of the easiest I've used. Once you've signed up and received your CashApp debit card you can start making deliveries and the money is funded to your account moments after each delivery is completed. I've been able to make as much as $250 a day in the Seattle area with Caviar. Keep in mind that I'm delivering on a motorcycle and when I'm out making deliveries I'm putting in about ten to twelve hours to clear those kinds of numbers.

DoorDash is available in a few more cities than Caviar but the payment structure is different. With DoorDash you get paid once per week by direct deposit to your bank account. After something like twenty-five deliveries and two weeks of being a Dasher you can do one-time deposits each day for a very small fee.

My favorite app to use is Postmates because there are far more delivery areas and you can have your funds deposited straight to your PayPal account anytime you want for just fifty cents per transaction.

While each app varies, the process is always very similar. You sign in to the app and make yourself available for deliveries. Once you've been offered something you'll have the opportunity to accept or reject the delivery based on how far away it is or what neighborhood it delivers to. When you accept, you'll be given the specific pick-up information and you can use whatever navigation software you're used to to get there. Upon arrival at your pick-up you'll use the app to check in and mark your arrival. Sometimes you'll need to place the order and use a debit card that was provided by the company you're delivering for; there's never any need to use your own money. Other times the order will have been placed and paid for already. After you've received your order you'll check to make sure everything has been included with the order and mark each item confirming it's in your possession.

Then the app will give you specific information about the client and where the order is to be delivered. Whatever you do, DON'T DEVIATE FROM THE DELIVERY ADDRESS! If you drop the order anywhere but where the app says, you will not be able to complete the order and you won't be paid. I've only had this situation pop up twice in about four hundred deliveries. The way to deal with the situation is to use the app to show that you've tried to reach the client to the best of your ability and then cancel the order with the option that the client isn't available.

 

Once the delivery has been completed you'll mark it delivered in the app and your money will usually be deposited within moments; tips can take 12-24 hours.
