Beyond his gig work, Samuel's background in Financial Services. "Coming from a background in Financial Services, I bring a different perspective to the table. It's all about precision, accuracy, and reliability—qualities that apply well to delivering catering orders with DeliverThat," he says.
When he's not behind the wheel, Samuel explores his passions. From globetrotting to the thrill of paintball and the zen of gardening, he's a man of diverse interests and experiences.
Samuel's DeliverThat journey began with a chance encounter on Reddit. While actively working with Grubhub, he stumbled upon a recommendation for DeliverThat, describing it as a company that specializes in catering delivery. Curiosity piqued, he embarked on a new adventure.
Like any new endeavor, Samuel had his share of first-day jitters. His initial catering delivery left him a tad nervous, pondering over the logistics of handling substantial catering orders and navigating downtown D.C.'s parking labyrinth. "I remember my first catering delivery; I was nervous. Handling big catering orders, setting up trays, and finding parking in downtown D.C. were initial challenges, but I learned quickly," said Samuel.
To Samuel, the biggest perk of being a gig driver is the flexibility it offers. "The flexibility of the gig economy is a huge benefit. I can earn money on my terms, and that's priceless. It allows me to manage my time efficiently and take care of family and personal matters."
Working for DeliverThat, a company with the driver's perspective at its core, has been Samuel's game-changer. He feels the unwavering support when he encounters restaurant delays, traffic snarls, or challenging customer situations. DeliverThat's constant presence is his safety net, empowering him to deliver with confidence.
Samuel's wisdom for new drivers: Relax, take your time, and equip yourself with insulated bags and a cart. With these tools and a little self-assurance, success is well within reach.
Federalist Pig holds a special place in Samuel's heart. He cherishes the warm atmosphere, impeccable timing, and their convenient packaging, which he credits with making his life easier, especially when handling substantial orders for VIP clients.
One memorable delivery took Samuel to a park with a somewhat ambiguous drop-off location. With DeliverThat's dedicated support guiding him, he navigated the situation, ensuring the client received their order safely and on time. The real highlight? DeliverThat's unwavering concern for his safety, demonstrating the company's commitment to its drivers.
