Many drivers juggle multiple gigs (and apps) to create full-time employment in rideshare and food delivery services. Here are the three most essential apps for gig economy drivers to minimize wasted time and maximize profit, tax deductions, and efficiency.
The Best Mileage Tracker Apps As Of 2021
Mileage trackers of some form are necessary for gig economy workers. Most of those working for on-demand services dread tax season even more than the general population. Since most aren’t classified as employees (yet), they’re responsible for filing generally a 1099 form. They also have to track of potentially deductible expenses, just as if they were running their own business. Possibly the most thought-of deductible item, especially for gig economy workers, is mileage. With that in mind, here are a few mileage tracker apps to help you out.
The Best Phone Car Charger Options For Rideshare Drivers
Smartphones. We’re all glued to them now, but for rideshare drivers, they’re more than a way to check social media (or this blog). You rely on your device for work from start to finish—accepting rides, navigating, even checking payment. The last thing you need is a dead phone battery, which means a good phone charger is a must.
Essential Gear for Every Delivery Driver
Often times while I’m out and about, other drivers ask me about the bags I carry. I always see them using the stock GrubHub bags. No knock against GrubHub, but the free bags don’t always cut it.
I always tell people I found my stuff on Amazon, and they get this look on their face like they never thought of that. They get even more surprised when I remind them that buying things for work is tax deductible (everything on this list will be!).
I think it’s time we talked shop about the things we use to make our work easier. So, without further ado, here is the essential gear for every delivery driver.

Small measures can help you stay organized and make you a more efficient and productive courier. This compilation of tips will guide you to make the most of your time spent delivering.
