So I saw a gig nearby and thought it was just ridiculous. 45 mile delivery paying $17, plus $5 customer tip. Thats 90 miles roundtrip. Gas cost is $4/gal. That 90 mile delivery would cost about $12 in fuel to return back into town. (Knowing there isnt another gig coming back.) Rate should at least be $1 per mile, thats because that rate already sounds low to begin with.
