Coming 2026
Wednesday night · Charlotte, NC · one real shift

67% of the miles you drove last night earned nothing.

Rideshare and delivery apps pay you for the trip. They never show you the deadhead: the unpaid miles between jobs that burn the same gas and wear the same tires. DarkMiles plugs into your car and counts all of them.

144.9
miles driven
96.9
miles unpaid
The number they don't show you

An $18.81/hour night was really $1.63.

Subtract what the car actually costs (real fuel, real wear) across every mile you drove, not just the paid ones, and the take-home collapses. That gap is the whole reason DarkMiles exists.

How it works

Measured, not guessed.

01

Plug in

A small OBD2 reader in your car streams real speed and fuel burn over Bluetooth. No guessing at MPG.

02

Drive

GPS logs every mile of the shift, paid and unpaid. Drop in a screenshot of each payout and it reads the earnings automatically.

03

See the truth

One glance: real net, deadhead %, and your actual dollars per hour and per mile. Live, all shift.

The apps show you the paid miles.
DarkMiles shows you all of them.
