My last gig was a disaster when my car broke down mid delivery

I was running Uber Eats on Tuesday night and my alternator just died in the middle of a $45 order. Had to call the customer and explain their food was stuck in a dead car on Elm Street. Lost the whole night of pay plus $300 for the tow and repair this morning. Has anyone else had a gig ruined by mechanical failure?

Lost my transmission doing DoorDash once, worst week ever.

idk man, that sounds like a smart way to write off the car for taxes honestly.

$300 alternator hit me last month. Same exact thing, car died mid-Shift on a Thursday. Gig work is brutal when your vehicle is your whole business.
