DoorDash offers added payments to US and Canadian drivers as Trump’s war idiocy drives up gas prices

Source: San Diego Union-Tribune

“DoorDash is offering extra compensation to U.S. and Canadian drivers as part of a temporary program to help offset rising gas prices. The San Francisco-based delivery company announced the program Monday as the national average price for gas hit $3.96 per gallon in the U.S., according to AAA. That’s 35% higher than one month ago. DoorDash said U.S. drivers with a DoorDash debit card will earn 10% cash back on any gas purchase, up from the usual rate of 2%. More than half of DoorDash drivers have the card, the company said. The company said drivers who travel 125 miles or more while making deliveries will also receive a weekly fuel payment, starting at $5 and up to a maximum of $15. … It’s not yet clear if rivals will match DoorDash’s payments.” (03/23/26)
