And while many delivery drivers are forced to suck up low pay and rubbish working rights, 22-year-old Atlanta Martin claims to earn £1000 a week working for delivery apps.
And last week, mum-of-one Atlanta decided to put her delivery skills to the test, embarking on a 24 hour straight shift to see how much she could rake in.
The duo took home £330.16 at the end of their 24 hour challenge, and travelled 220 miles for 77 deliveries. [£4.28 averaged per delivery]
The tagline on their social media feed: https://preview.redd.it/cd123jkq20p91.png?width=620&auto=webp&s=1933b260c57aae65f5e36efc24cddd50ec08ada2
She made more than usual recently after putting in a 24 hour shift with no break 😲
Even if it were physically possible to pull 24 hour shifts with no break every week (it isn't), this would still only amount to 52k per year. If you have student loans and a mortgage you will still be living paycheck-to-paycheck on this insane work schedule.
52k per year with a kid and that's a two person income at 24 hours per day with all vehicle expenses.
