And i’ve found using Fleet’s reliability tips helps a lot, especially for time management; balancing apps can be tricky, but setting strict time blocks really keeps me on track. Anyone else find that useful? :delivery_truck:.

I totally get that! I try to think of juggling multiple apps like a game of Tetris — sometimes you just gotta make the pieces fit… @taylor_john87, do you also find that certain times of day work better for certain apps, or is it just me?

I’ve found that tracking my earnings per hour with a simple spreadsheet really helps me see which apps are worth my time. It’s all about optimizing delivery routes and those peak times — especially on weekends. Have you tried timing your shifts to those busy hours?

‌⁠‍⁠​‍​‍‌⁠‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌‍‌⁠‌‍‌​‌‍‌​‌‍‍‍​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍⁠​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠​‍‌‍‌‌‌⁠​​‌‍⁠​‌⁠‍‌​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​⁠​‍​⁠‌​​⁠​‍​⁠‍​​⁠‌⁠​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍​⁠​‍​⁠​​​⁠​‍​⁠‌‍​⁠​​​⁠‌​​⁠​​​⁠‌⁠​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠​‌‌‍⁠​‌​⁠​‌‍​‌‌‍‍​‌‍‌‌‌‍‌⁠​⁠​‌‌‌​‌‌‍​⁠‌‌⁠⁠‌‍‍‌‌‍‌‌‌‍‌‍‌⁠​​​⁠​⁠​‍​‍‌⁠⁠‌​​

I’ve been using a stop-and-start method to handle apps during peak times. Works wonders for optimizing routes! Do you think that approach fits with your time management tips?
