Actually i have the perfect person here to set you straight ( a former pizza delivery guy )
Pizza place's make more delivering than anything else. They don't pay for gas/mileage ( well actually every pizza place set's their own rules but most of the big ones don't ) . But to boil it down into easy to understand terms , he ( the pizza delivery guy ) would make $250-300 a night , and pay for all expenses. Plus they usually pay them minimum wage ( and that just covers taxes basically because its mandatory to claim 10% of sales as tips) so they dont actually get a check.. just tips.
So he would clear 45k a year after expenses.
