“I'm kind of on the fence,” he said. “I'm at over $3,000 a month in just fuel expenses. That's a lot of money.”Annicia Chase, 22, of Franklinton, started driving for the third-party meal delivery service DoorDash a year ago, firing up the company's app every time she left work at her primary job waiting tables for a Reynoldsburg restaurant.
A DoorDash spokesperson said the company offers drivers discounts on car maintenance and a 2% cutback on fuel costs for drivers who have the company’s DasherDirect card.
