I track my mileage as best I can (drove ~43,000 mi last year), and just found out about the tax rate change. How are we supposed to know about changes like this? I hadn’t heard anything about it until I got an email with this post last week. For all, I'd make sure you don’t miss out on the extra deduction for the second half of the year. Feels like it might be a nightmare for taxes next year with the mid-year change, but I’ll take what I can get I guess.

I’ve gotten to know my local Mendocino Farms managers pretty well. All of them have confirmed that they’re unaware of the so-called “lift program” aka tip pool. In conversation they brought up how good the tips could be. When I tell them that we don’t get the hotel they were flabbergasted.

So now the question is, can DeliverThat be sued for stolen wages? I know you guys seen that estimated payout and when it closes out, you usually only get an extra dollar nowhere near the higher end of that range. If you’re doing an order and the tip is $100 but being paid out 32 where is that other $68 going? I’ve i’ve done three out of the five orders at one location once and the other driver had two. We looked at the invoices and the tips totaled $400 between the 5 orders. We submitted a gratuity request and got denied. Our final payout for those five orders was 32 and a couple pennies.

There’s gotta be some way to hold them accountable.

I understand that both of these positions are the same from what I've read. Maybe someone here has experience with both or 1 of em. I'm just looking for some different perspectives at the end of the day.

For context, I'm a combat vet who spent my entire adult life in combat zones in the military and private military. I'm really fit

Sysco food delivery: 28 per hour. 15 miles away from home. Home daily. I've heard this is long hours. But I don't know about my area. I'm in central Texas

Pepsi Geo driver: 32 per hour. 35 miles away from home. Home daily. I'm assuming this sub knows about this position. I've heard it's less brutal than Sysco on the physical aspect and the hours

What do y'all think

Posting this so it shows up for anyone searching this mover's name before booking — wish I'd found a post like this before I did.

I recently moved from Mumbai to my hometown and hired Raunak Cargo Movers (they don't even have a Google Business listing). Here's what happened:

• Quoted Rs. 15,000 for the full move, agreed in advance.
• Guy was great pre-booking — responsive, agreed to bubble-wrap all my glass items, team showed up on time and packed everything neatly.
• The moment the truck was loaded, he called saying my stuff was "more than I disclosed" and Rs. 15,000 wouldn't cover it, even though his own team packed it and saw exactly how much there was.
• Sent a revised invoice for almost double, adding a Rs. 6,000 "insurance" charge I had explicitly told him I didn't want, plus Rs. 10,000 extra for "extra luggage."
• When I pushed back on the insurance charge specifically, he said he'd "already paid the company" and it was non-refundable — classic non-answer.
• Then came the pressure: pay now or your stuff gets offloaded. My belongings were literally in his truck at that point, so I didn't have much choice. Paid 70% (Rs. 20,000) under pressure.
• Promised 2-day delivery. Day 2 came and went. Then it became "tomorrow," then "day after," on repeat.
• He handed my stuff off to a transporter in Indore, and then the transporter started asking for the remaining payment before they'd even move the truck. Asked for video proof my stuff was okay; never got it.
• Paid the remaining Rs. 10,000 anyway, still with zero proof.
• Transporter hadn't actually already received the goods the day they asked me to pay, but claimed otherwise ("we have your good and please pay else truck won't move"), a driver later called me next day directly and told me he just reached Indore, so I knew the transport guy was lying.
• The transport guy from that day, stopped picking up the phone, responding to messages, so did the packers and movers. When picked once out of 10-15 calls we made, the transport guy had the audacity to fight back saying "Bhijva dunga saman, paise deke koi ehsan thori kia hai" & when I also fought he was like "Jao nahi bhejuga saman".
• Total time from pickup to delivery: 7 days, against a promised 2. Radio silence most of that time — answered maybe 1 in 10 calls.

Good news: everything arrived intact, no damage. But the whole process was financially and mentally exhausting, and the insurance charge for something I explicitly declined still hasn't been resolved.

Filed a formal consumer complaint, but wanted this out here too since they have no Google Business Profile so reviews/warnings don't show up the normal way when you search them. If you're evaluating movers in Mumbai and this name comes up, get everything in writing, don't pay any "revised" amount without a paper trail, and never make a final payment before you have actual proof of your goods.

Happy to answer questions if anyone's currently dealing with the same company.
