Deactivations seem to be happening like crazy for Independent Contractors with gig delivery companies like Doordash, Uber Eats, Grubhub and others.
What do you do if you rely heavily on your food delivery business income? How do you avoid having that taken away from you, especially for something you didn't do?
We walk through three different categories of reasons people get deactivated. And then we talk about seven steps you can take to protect yourself from deactivation.
These are not a guarantee. But if you follow these steps you eliminate most of the chances of such a deactivation happening.

We played a couple of clips from interviews from Episode 94 with Bryant Greenling of LegalRideshare, and from Episode 95 with Leah Chasser of Kover.ai.
I mentioned this article from Gridwise about reasons people get deactivated.
I also talk about Doordash's deactivation policy, where you can see more information here.
We mention Episode 7 that talks about having an exit plan.
Affiliate links of note:
As an affiliate, I may earn money when items are purchased from the following links.
We talked about the Rexing V2 Pro, the dash cam that I use personally. You can add GPS to it. Movable cameras allow you to point the camera out the side window and document your deliveries at the doorstep.
One of the most important steps you can take to get protected in the event of a wrongful deactivation is to sign up with Kover.ai. Kover provides income protection if you are deactivated and has a legal service that can write a deactivation appeal letter on your behalf. Use this affiliate link and you can get the first month at no cost.
