i worked this type of job in Chicago (outside of downtown). It was ok. Traffic dies after rush hour for a major city. I looked on craigslist for this type of job, didn't see one in NYC but mostly all are in New Jersey. Is there even pizza delivery in NYC with all that traffic and congestion?

Of course there's delivery. New York probably has more food delivery options than any other city in the country—whether it be sushi, Chinese, Mexican, hamburgers, etc. Virtually every restaurant here delivers.

But, I think you may not realize this: delivery drivers in the city use bikes, not cars. So unless you're comfortable riding a bike in NYC in traffic, it's a very hard job.

Hmm I think I'll pass on moving to NYC then. No wonder I didn't see 1 delivery driver job in NYC Craigslist.

The real question is....

How much does a delivery guy make in NYC, rather it be a pizza delivery/chinese/etc...... On average, how much do these dudes make?

I really want to know.


I live in a small to mid-size town, i do deliveries, about 30 a day usually... i work 10 hours a day.
So i pocket over $100 a day easy.

I think if i did the same job in NYC, i could earn triple... but not sure...

By that do you mean motorcycles/mopeds, or bicycles?

Both. I mostly see bicycles, but I know my sushi delivery guy has a little motorcycle.

Could you ask the sushi guy how much he makes?

Uh, no, but you're welcome to order some sushi and ask for yourself.
