There's no set radius. The app/dispatcher can send you orders that is 10+ miles just to see if you will accept. Again, it is up to you to accept. 10 miles is obviously too far, unless the order value is $150 plus. Then you know that you are getting roughly 10 - 15% tips.

Home base are called hot spots and they're located at the most busiest areas, like commercial/broadway, metrotown, brentwood, cambie/broadway, and anywhere downtown. You sign up for a zone and just go to the hot spot. Orders are sent to the closest driver and if the driver is using a car or not.

That's why you should never work weekend afternoons. I find the busiest area for weekend afternoon is west van, but even so, I'd have to wait 20 - 30 for an order.

Mon - Fri afternoons are good, because people are at work.
Fri and Sat night, take the day off unless there is an event, like tomorrow's fight. People go out to eat.
Sun night is not bad sometimes.
