yeah, when i worked there the 'routing' system would auto the routes and it was pretty good, you'd go in like a circle most times or just a straight line up and back, the farthest first then work your way back depending on when the pizza was made. then again back then we had the pizza warming bags that plugged in to the cars port. I had a doggle that allowed me to plug in 4 bags to take 16 pizza or more and kept them warmer on the long trips. Made great money but only because we had 3 college campuses we delivered too, it wasnt a good night unless you walked with 250 in tips a great night like freshmen week or the finals week when you could pull 350 to 500 a night depending on the amount of drivers that showed up for work.
To some extent you are selling your car piece-by-piece to the company. I don't consider mileage as making money. If you drive a truck or other expensive gas guzzler, you're probably losing money and mileage isn't enough. Drivers take home 100-160 on Thursday-Sunday if they work a substantial shift. On Mon-Wed they usually make 60-100. This includes the mileage. As a manager I used to get full pay when driving, but they have since reduced it. I found out that they pay drivers more or less depending on how much they get in tips. In the more ghetto areas, the drivers make more in hourly pay, and they also have areas they don't go to at night. I got to work at 2 other stores for 3 days after a hurricane.
