AN Uber Eats delivery driver has revealed how much money she makes in just five hours.
Emily, a young woman from Las Vegas, explained that she also took a two hour break between her shift and had very low petrol costs.
The delivery driver took to social media to share a typical day in her life, as she said: "Sunday Deliveries. Started off early, ended up taking like a two hour break in between my shift.”
In the short video, we saw Emily collect and deliver a variety of food orders, as she explained: “Get ready to Doordash and Uber Eats with me today!
“I'm starting pretty early today. It's like 9am, but it's Sunday, so I feel like the orders are gonna be pretty good.
“And I just got my first order.”

Emily then gave hourly updates, as she continued: “The first hour is going really good so far. I'm at $31 [£24.44].
“Second hour I'm at $51 [£40.22].
“Alright, I'm hot and I need a snack.”
Emily then took a two hour lunch break, where she grabbed something to eat and filled her car up with petrol.
She continued: “My third hour is honestly going really good. I'm at $94 [£74.12].
“That was my last delivery of the day.”
She then explained: “In total I made about $180 [£142] in five hours.
“I do both apps at the same time & stack orders if they're on the same route.”
For those looking to get started, Emily advised: “Try staying near places you know are busy!
“Don't accept ones not worth your time/gas.”
She also added that when it comes to petrol: “I probably put like 20 bucks [£15] in for every two days...I always keep my gas above half a tank.”
The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @emnmo, has clearly shocked many, as it has quickly amassed 30,200 views.
Social media users were eager to know more about the realities of being a delivery driver and many took to the comments to ask questions.
One person asked: “Do you immediately get paid out for the money you earned for the day??”
Emily then confirmed: “Yup! There is a tiny fee on both apps but its like $1 or less...you can get the debit card from dd and there's not a fee but it's not that big o deal.”
Another questioned: “How is it working for both companies? Are you online for both at the same time or just one?”
To which Emily replied: “Always using both! That's how I make the most $$”
Whilst a third wondered: “What days and times do you recommend?”
