Well since I feel so left out with all these clubs going around on the org (SMC, PBM, SX7R, etc.) I decided to make my own club PDB or Pizza Delivery Maxima. So to start the club I will be PDM #1
Reply here to join. Remeber, only the elite drivers of todays pizza transporting business can join! lmao.......



Trevor


President and founder of PDM.

 

I do,
and another local org member does..

I remember there being at least 5-6 other members....

 

what other clubs are there?

 

Nealoc187 used to....and he might start doing it again to be in the club

 

wanna join? we get discounts on breadsticks...... (just kidding) you can be member number 2

 

how's the pay with that?

i thought about it because i really need money but i don't want to put huge miles on my max or get crappy gas mileage.

 

sure, why not

 

well i've only been doing it for a little over 3 weeks now but.....on my slowest night i still got $25 in tips and when you combine that with $1 for every delivery and $5.50 an hour i averaged around $13 an hour for 4 hours of work. on my busiest night to date i made something like $46 in tips in 4 hours of work. you do the math. the job is great for college because the shifts aren't really long and the job is incredibly easy.

PLUS you get to drive your max the WHOLE TIME

 

Depends on what place, how busy it is, how rich the area is...

I heard of people making upwards of 25$/hr.. cash.

It all depends on how rich/generous of an area you deliver in and how busy your place is.

They'll pay you 5-8$/hr base and the rest is tips... if you take on average of 4 deliveries an hour, and get tipped 2$ per delivery.. that's 8$.. + hourly salary they pay you..

My advice is find a real busy place and learn the area well, try to get in..
It's a good quick cash job for college kids..

 

EXACTLY i've had several customers tell me i have a "very nice delivery car"

 

Ive been delivering for pizza hut here in South FL for a little over three years now and i love it pays great about 15-20 an hour these days tax free

 

yeah, i got those comments too

i think i was better off when i had a 87 Mercury Sable to use for deliveries that thing looked like **** and people tipped better seeing me pull up in that thing

Milage isn't that bad, ofcourse depending on the area you cover and how busy you are.. but i typically rack up 30-40 or so miles on a 12 hour workday.. not that bad, I already rack up around 800 miles a week without counting my working driving so milage doesn't bother me..

 

I was wondering, how do you guys know where to go when somebody places an order ... when they give u the address do you guys have computers that give you a map or something?

 

if u guys deliver to my place and i see that sexy maxima w/ the pizza tophat, expect a BIG tip

 

I'm in, I don't get paid crap, and we write down the addresses when they give 'em to us over the phone. Of course that would explain the '86 Max, which I loved to death, but c'mon the car is old enough to drive itself now

 

When i had the max i used to deliver on it sometimes to make some extra cash. i would cover the seats and drive carefuly. No harm done.

 

best thread ever, i like pizza

 

it would only be better if the pizza places bought the gas for you .. now that would be awesome

 

You figure out really quick based on maps and stuff. You learn the area pretty well or you don't make any money.

I haven't delivered pizza in my car, but my parents own a chinese restaurant and a couple of times I've been there, I've ran a delivery or two for them to help them out. It's actually kind of amusing to see the customer's expression when I pull up in my car. I once got stuck 15 minutes at someone's house because they wanted to see everything on the car.

 

you guys have inspired me to try and go out and get a job doing this...

the only mod i'm not looking forward to is company's logo on the car...

do you guys have to put a magnet or that big light thing that says who you work for?

 

Dude, you can't be serious...that's like 40,000 miles a year!

Anyway, I think I may have to take up some pizza delivering. I'm a college kid without much money and a Maxima - sounds like a match made in heaven, no?

 

I delivered pizzas for 5 years. About a year and a half in the max. Put about 35K miles on it in that time. I could bring home $500-600 a week easily between tips, gas, and wage. I worked 5 nights a week, 25 hours a week. Even $150 nights (just tips and gas, not including another $50 for wage at $6+ an hour) were pretty common on friday nights.

 

I've been doing it for 3+ years now and the easy money just cant be beat while at the College level. My place requires no work at all outside of actually delivering Pizza. When there are no deliveries, I usually have a nice $10+ meal on the house, sometimes make about an hours worth of phone calls during my shift. Having friends with you is not a problem, sometimes I deliver with a car full of teenage girls and let them make the deliveries for me, especially if its a building and the customer is male. Saving money is made much easier while working this job because you dont spend money on food.
(2-3 meals on a 10 hour shift) Also, some of the benefits I got through the job:

*25% off + No Tax at the local usually very greedy Nissan dealer
*Free United Ar**** movie tickets (Emergency Passes) allowed to be used at any UA, at any time.
*Free Shakes and any kind of ice cream I want from Carvel
*Huge discounts at the local Hand Car Wash
*Pizzeria is considered elite among local NYPD- cause of this I was able to get away a few times with just a little friendly talk instead of tickets.

So yes, make me member #3. I already get enough comments about the Maxima(s), I cant imagine what will happen when I pull up in the GS400 that I was already dead set on getting (until a potential buyer for my 98SE let me down, but it was equally my fault since I hesitated when he first made the offer).

 

Woah thats what i wanan do now. I wannabe a pizza delivery man in Northridge, Ca. You guys make good money for the time spent on the job. I drive well its in my sig. But dang that is a lot of money for the time spent =]. Wish me luck on finding a job as a pizza delivery man. Then maybe I could become one of your members in that Pizza Group. haha.

 

I have picked up a Pizza before in my max

 

same here

 

You learn the neighborhood quick..

I deliver in a neighborhood I grew up in so it wasn't too hard but most of the time, it's the same exact people, you start to remember the house or apartment when seeing the address or the last name. After just 6 - 7 months here, I know the entire neighborhood like the back of my hand, know which way to go to hit the least amount of lights, which way is shortest and fastest.. etc..

I don't have to put any banners on my car, but I have to wear a stupid red t-shirt with the pizzerias name and # on the back Still not a big deal to me, I get anywhere from 10-15$/hr cash most days.. easy 250-300$ over the weekend not too bad, I can't really work during the week because I'm in school and it's quick $ for gas, books, tuition, insurance or whatever else..


I heard there is a guy at NYC GXEs job who used to work on wall street making 50k a year now he delivers pizza and makes 40k without taxes and spending money on food etc.. haha
funniest story ever. And the guy is slow so NYC GXE runs circles around him taking like 3 deliveries when the old guy takes just one..
I do a similar thing with a guy that delivers with me at my job.. he's slow as hell.. Not to say that I speed, because I don't, I just be smart about which ways to go to make it back faster.. so if we both leave at the same time and both deliveries are equal distance from the job, I can come back 1-5 minutes earlier and take the next delivery, then he comes back and takes another one and I come back in a couple of minutes after he left, so i take another one and might come back and take one more while he's still busy with 1..

I don't even put any food in the interior.. I only use the trunk.. I don't get any smell of food in my car or trunk at all, it doesn't have time to penetrate, some people are scared their car will smell like pizza.. it doesn't..

 

Yeah but say you get an address, that you have no clue where it is, then what do you do? Im in Florida, and a lot of people will like on a street in a neighborhood that has a different name then the nabor hood...

If somebody just says 245 Geneva Ct. The possibility that could be are ed less...

 

I do.... Papa Johns baby!!! Wrightstown NJ.

Leave the sunroof tilted when i do....dont want no pizza smell permeating ma shiat!

Aaron

EDIT: And no I dont put that stupid lighted magnet roof scratching eye sore on to.... funk dat!

 

I used to deliver pizzas and chinese food, but by far the chinese job I had was the better of the two. I got a free meal from the buffet every night I worked, I was paid cash every night, I only worked friday and saturday nights for 3 maybe 4 hours, and I got to drive around in my car the whole time. Not to mention I was 19 at the time, and I could drink at the bar in the chinese restaurant Some nights I would walk away with 50 - 60 or more cash. Defintiely would do it again if I needed some extra dough. Oh, and I recorded how many miles I drove when I worked at the pizza joint and deducted it from my taxes.

Clayton

EDIT - I was driving a Honda Accord at the time...that's a lot of wear and tear on a car, and I don't know if I would use the max for deliveries now.

 

I'd just think over the long haul (1+ years), it would just kill your car. More mileage, more wear tear on the tires and suspension, lower resale because of mileage, more overall maintenance, the risk of wrecks, and the pizza smell. If you drive 30K miles a year with deliveries, you're looking at 10 oil changes (~$200-300), one set of tires (~$200-400), ~$500-800 lost in resale due to mileage, $2400 in gas, potential suspension work, possibly a wreck, plus the smell You figure $4000 in expenses for the car upkeep and you're averaging $20/hr working 25/hrs a week ($26K a year), 15% of your GROSS pay goes to your car. Take home wise (assuming you're claiming some of your tips....hope you are because Uncle Same isn't stupid), you could be loosing 18-20% of your take home pay to the car.

Now if you had a little Honda beater just for deliveries like my friend did, you could making a killing But God, that thing smelled horrible. He actually swapped the seats out after two years.

Steve, about that guy who used to work on wall street, he's full of it. I know I make much more than he does full time, in my 4 days there. I'm able to manipulate anything I want when he's there, cause all the other employees think he's nuts(He is) and many times when we're working side by side, I'll finish with 150, he'll finish with 110. You gotta hustle, have that drive and he definitely doesnt.

About the uniform or T-shirt or that big display on top of the roof. The guy who used to be in charge was an NYC Detective for 23 years and he believes that all that does is make us a target. So we are allowed to dress any way we want. Also, since we are prone to get tickets around the area of my pizzeria, we are not required to do any work at all except for watch our cars and deliver pizza.

 

Dave, I've used my 94 GXE for about 4 years now delivering on it. Original Starter, Original Alternator, Original Suspension, All Original Paint. Bought it with 108K, tranny kicked the bucket at 158K, but had nothing to do with 50K hard driven city miles. Third gen tranny's just plain suck, paid the $1250 and didnt even blink an eye. That is the only time this car has ever let me down, but when I came to the tranny shop, the guy said I got about 2.5 lives out of the stock tranny. This car will definitely be the best car I will ever own (Considering abuse/price I paid/Reliability) and so the Pizza deliveries didnt really affect me.

 

do the cops know about this?

 

one time I ate pizza in my maxima... No...maybe twice

 

...you naughty little man

 

I don't let any of that bother me.. cars are meant to be driven.. I already have a crapload of miles and drive around 800 a week.. i only rack up maybe 80 - 90 miles working 22 hours doing deliveries.. If you plan on selling the car soon, then yeah, milage might be a consideration, but I figure that by the time I will be selling my car, it won't be worth much anyways. So I'll loose an extra 500$ in the long run.. no big deal.. at least i got to enjoy it

My car doesn't smell. I never put anything inside the car, only use the trunk.. and for the 2-10 minutes it takes me to drive the food to the customer, I don't get any smell..

Either way, I already loose about 40-50% of my take home pay to the car.. lol
Insurance, gas, mods... everything adds up..
but i'm kind of letting the car work for it's mods and maintenance

 

The smell...I bet is smells so good! Hot fresh Pizza, YUM
Tell me, ever nibble on a slice, you know, try it out for them and make sure it's ok (for the customer of course)

 

Hell no..
I get all the free pizza I want..
