All of these gig apps seem intent on thinning the herd of drivers by way of mass deactivations.

Doordash is tracking late deliveries as contract violations. Grubhub and Uber Eats are calling late deliveries "fraudulent.

It's getting crazy out there.

What do you do and how do you weather all these contract terminations?

In August there was another such wave at Doordash, that time due to a glitch that terminated people for multiple accounts when they had none. Another glitch this year terminated people for violating the referral policy when they hadn't referred any new drivers.

In episode 73 we talked about another wave of deactivations.

You can see the screenshots of some of the examples on the associated blog post for today's episode.

We mention in the episode that Grubhub has a form you can submit for account issues. You can get to that form here.
