The short version

  • Check the vehicle and gas inputs before driving.
  • Capture each delivery trip while the shift is active.
  • Review and correct the log before the next shift begins.

Before: confirm the inputs

Check the vehicle MPG and gas-price values used for estimates. The delivery gas-cost guide explains how miles, MPG, and price per gallon shape the estimate and what it leaves out. Confirm that the trip-tracking settings you expect are available before you begin moving.

  • Confirm the active vehicle and MPG.
  • Update the current gas price when needed.
  • Check location access and trip settings.

During: capture only what helps

Record the delivery drive, keep time and mileage visible, and use a customer update (see these DoorDash text message templates) when a delay, arrival detail, or weather condition changes the handoff.

  • Start or verify the delivery trip.
  • Review the time, mileage, and gas estimate when safely stopped.
  • Prepare and review a contextual customer message only when useful.

Which fields should a shift record capture?

Use the same six columns for every drive: date, start time, end time, purpose, miles, and platform. Each row is one drive, so a shift becomes a short list you can scan later. These match the columns in the DoorDash mileage log template.

Enter miles from the odometer or the trip record, not from memory alone. For what the IRS asks each entry to show, read IRS mileage log requirements for delivery drivers, and for how the app keeps these trip details together, read DoorDash mileage tracking for Dashers.

After: close the loop

End the trip, review the category and distance, and fix incomplete entries while the route is still familiar. Export records when you need an outside copy.

Miles you do not record are hard to report later. The IRS business standard mileage rate was 72.5 cents per mile from January 1 to June 30, 2026, and 76 cents per mile from July 1 to December 31, 2026 (IRS notices IR-2025-128 and IR-2026-29).

  • Confirm that the trip ended.
  • Review date, miles, duration, and category.
  • Export a CSV or PDF for the period you want to keep or share.

Two fictional trips, not customer data. This sample follows the Mileage Report CSV format: date, start and end time, addresses, miles, duration, type and service.

Mileage Report CSV/PDF exports in the app require Pro. This free sample is not an export of your trips, a tax calculation or a guarantee of tax compliance.

Common questions

Do I need to review every trip immediately?

You can review later, but a quick check at the end of the shift makes missing or misclassified details easier to recognize.

Can the workflow work for other delivery apps?

Yes. The same trip, fuel-estimate, message, and review workflow can support drivers working on other delivery platforms.

No Tipper is an independent utility and is not affiliated with or endorsed by DoorDash. Platform features and policies can change; check official platform guidance when a question depends on current DoorDash rules.
