Year-round perfect weather means no weather delays, consistent earnings, and lower vehicle maintenance. Many drivers report saving $200-300/month on vehicle costs compared to harsher climates.
Pro Tip: Many beach drivers keep a beach cruiser bike in their vehicle for final delivery in areas with no parking. Park legally and bike the last block.
Military Advantage: Once you're cleared for base access, military deliveries often pay premium rates due to extra time required. Build good relationships with gate guards.
Know your local taco shops for quick breaks. Roberto's, Lolita's, and Lucha Libre are driver favorites with fast service and parking.
Use Coast Highway (101) instead of I-5 during rush hour. Scenic and often faster for beach deliveries.
Track Padres games, Comic-Con, and Del Mar races. These events create surge pricing but also major traffic.
