I was doing deliveries earlier this week; tried to sign on Thursday and it didn’t work. Later found a deactivation email.

I do know one thing though; UberEats pays SIGNIFICANTLY LESS. I miss my deliveries that pay almost as much as the food itself.

But yeah, they claim my background check came back and deactivated me for a case of “careless driving”.

Where it gets weird though is that my actual background check hasn’t had an infraction on it since 2017. The careless driving they are probably speaking of is from 2015.

Where it gets weird though is that DoorDash actually asked me about it back when I tried to sign up in 2018, and they signed me on after I explained it.

What gets weirder is that I was in a freak accident last year during Labor Day weekend that put me in the hospital. I received two tickets in the process (one for careless driving) but I eventually got both of them dismissed. Could Checkr potentially see that and report it anyways? And if they did, why is it not in the background check?

Checkr also does background checks for Uber and Lyft, and those came back identical. And yet Uber and Lyft haven’t said anything about this.

Either way, I’m fairly upset despite submitting an appeal; I don’t even want to think about how much I’ve missed out on during this Easter weekend. I know it’s not really under my control, but it’s still frustrating.

Can actually make decent $$$ w/ Doordash? Appeal it and go online and do a quick defensive driving course to cover your ass for the future. That should help ease your record a bit.

Yeah, you have to cherry pick orders but I can usually hit my quota in 2-3 hours.

I'd do a defensive driving course but I don't have any points at the moment so I'm not sure if it'll help.

Unfortunately you cant do anything. They are thinning the herd and you were borderline. Now the good thing is you will be eligible to apply after the ticket is 5 years old and 1 month. Bad news again is you will be put on a waitlist until things go back to normal because they arent hiring now.

This has absolutely nothing to do with the ticket that was dismissed.

in pa at court long ago. they said 2 ways of removing points. one where it is stricken off record. and 1 with points your insurance company can see.
I know because the magistrate knew me and the prosecutor wanted to remove the Points only. The magistrate to the prosecutor. By cutting me a break. The prosecutor was a young girl right out of college in fact in PA all the regular judges were either put in jail for corruption so they changed the system. Final ruling was magistrate said we're gonna struck it from his record so his employer insurance won't see it and raises insurance and put him out of work every state different I guesd
