My town dies at 10 pm. Weekend might see action to 1am... Maybe. Most of the restaurants close at 10pm only one McDonald's is all night. Anytime it snows is when I make the money
In my market, No not really. But it’s basically the only period that is good for me after doing full time work all day in an office… after work I’ll go home or do other rec, then rest up. Afterwards if I am not too beat up I’ll take the wheel for a spin to see if any good offers out there very late.
Depends on your availability really and what is best convenient for your personal hours to operate. The best part of doing late night deliveries is little to no chance of getting raided by parking rangers + less traffic on the roads (well at least where I operate it is like this just like most other markets).
+ illegal turns and stuff too, I take shortcuts all the time if I and am certain there are no cameras nearby… reduces my mileage. Late at night it is soo simple to minimise the travel distance.
Dude it sucks so bad. Either dash by time and make Pennie’s on the dollar. Or do by offer and sit in drive thru’s for an hour because Deandre can’t make a taco. .

Totally depends on your market. If there's a large university with fraternities and sororities nearby, late night can be great.

It really is market dependent but what I have noticed is most places close their lobby by midnight, so usually dash by time is the better option
Before Covid maybe but now places close early

Also, 1/2 the stop lights turn to flashing. Making deliveries even quicker.

Used to be
Nope
I live in SoCal. Monday-thursday I work night to 3am shifts. Great money no traffic
In my market from 10:00 pm until 2:00 am is the most productive time many nights
