Not every shift is profitable. Knowing when to stop is just as important as knowing when to work.
Signs a shift is losing value
- Long wait times between orders
- Low-value deliveries
- High fuel usage with low return
- Increased driver saturation

Working longer does not always increase earnings. In some cases, it reduces your effective hourly income.
