    Why would they? Outsourcing is cheaper than maintaining their own fleet of delivery vehicles.

    Door Dash is essentially a wage theft app designed to outsource the costs of doing business onto the worker.

      To my knowledge they didn’t maintain fleets of vehicles. Least on my side of the country pizza delivery jobs used to be, bring your own vehicle, company might provide you a stupid little hat to put on your car. But they still had to pay you for your time when there weren’t deliveries.

        Even when they didn’t provide the vehicle, they still had to insure it and they had to provide workers’ comp if a driver was hurt doing their job. You don’t have to insure Door Dash drivers and if they get t-boned in an intersection or assaulted it’s not your problem.
