Have you ever considered making some extra money on the side? Sometimes the options aren’t the most glamorous, but they still earn a grand per month! This is one of those options. In our world today, people love their pizza and they also love convenience, which means that pizza delivery is 100% needed. And, since the position isn’t often a long-term goal of an employee, the turn-over rate is high, making it quite easy to find an available job.
What Are The Requirements of a Pizza Delivery Guy/Gal?
As you might expect, there aren’t too many requirements for the position, but you definitely need to fulfill a few important ones:
- Have a valid drivers license with transportation
- Have a clean driving record
- You must know the area
- Be at least 18 (for many pizza places)
- Understand basic math (as it relates to giving change, etc.)
Like I said, most of us would qualify for this position if we are currently employed during the day.
How Many Deliveries Will I Have to Make to Earn a Grand Per Month?
Delivering pizzas won’t make you a millionaire, but about how much can you expect to earn as a pizza delivery driver? The average pay is $7.00 an hour plus tips and mileage. If you think about it, that’s actually not too bad. With tips, I’d say the average hourly wage is more like $10, and when you tack on a reimbursement of $0.50 per mile, you could be earning even more!
Based on the job postings I have seen, a pizza delivery driver will work about 30 hours a week with evening and weekend hours. With an average hourly wage of $10+ an hour, you’ll be earning $300 a week before tax, or about $250 after tax. Keep up this pace for 4 weeks, and you’ll quickly see a grand per month flowing into your bank account!
Don’t Forget What That Extra $1,000 Can Do For You!
Like I said before, pizza delivery isn’t the most glamorous of occupations, but and extra $1,000 a month is a big deal! Do you understand what that can do for you at this moment in your life? Let’s say you have a $10,000 credit card debt and you’re only able to pay $100 a month toward it. With the interest on that card, it will most likely take you 10+ years to pay off that card! But, if you are earning an extra $1,000 per month, you can take care of that debt in less than a year.
