Gross pay can mislead drivers
A high-looking order can produce weak net hourly earnings when it includes long waits, unpaid return mileage, or a drop-off far from the next likely order.
Early access for RDU gig drivers
Track net hourly earnings across gig apps.
TriangleTakehome is an early-access app for part-time gig delivery drivers in Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina. It helps UberEats, Instacart, Walmart Spark, and DoorDash drivers log shifts and compare net hourly earnings after time, mileage, dead miles, and estimated vehicle costs.
Audience: part-time RDU drivers working about 10-30 hours per week.
Problem
Gross app pay does not show the full value of a gig shift. RDU drivers also need to account for waiting, driving distance, dead miles, tips, traffic, and vehicle costs.
Multi-app work is hard to compare
UberEats, Instacart, Walmart Spark, and DoorDash use different screens, pay signals, and workflows. Drivers need one record for the whole shift.
Local patterns matter
Raleigh, Durham, Cary, Apex, Morrisville, Chapel Hill, and RTP have different traffic, store density, order types, and return-mile patterns.
Solution
TriangleTakehome gives drivers a single place to record shift inputs and review net hourly earnings across apps, zones, and time blocks.
- Log shift time, active time, miles, dead miles, gross pay, tips, and estimated vehicle costs.
- Compare UberEats, Instacart, Walmart Spark, and DoorDash activity in one shift record.
- Tag Raleigh-Durham zones, stores, time blocks, and notes that affect earnings.
- Use after-shift summaries to choose better start areas, cutoff rules, and app mixes.
How it works
The early product is designed for fast shift logging and simple comparison after each driving block.
Log the shift
Enter app used, starting area, time block, miles, gross pay, tips, and notes about delays or dead miles.
Calculate net hourly
Review estimated net hourly earnings after time, mileage, dead miles, and cost assumptions.
Compare patterns
Compare shifts by app, zone, weekday, time block, and delivery type before planning the next run.
Benefits and outcomes
The app does not guarantee higher earnings. It helps drivers measure the variables they control and make better decisions from their own records.
Clearer net hourly earnings
Compare shifts after the costs and mileage that gross app pay leaves out.
Lower dead-mile waste
Identify routes, drop-off areas, and cutoff decisions that create unpaid return driving.
Better multi-app decisions
Use real shift records to evaluate which app mix fits your schedule and zones.
More useful shift history
Keep organized records of miles, earnings, notes, and patterns for budgeting and planning.
