Current Events > Any of yall think about driving for Uber/Lyft

(+) Yeah! (+)

These are my earnings for the week. It's a typical week for me. I usually take Mondays off (slowest day, do chores and go out sometimes since I dont like crowds and the bars are more low key on Mondays) and drive the rest of the week. As you can see by the hours, I try to work about 40 hours a week or so, which I'll hit tomorrow. I keep both on at the same time for the most part unless I'm chasing Uber surges so no, I havent worked 66 hours.

As you can see I've hit about $1000 already with tomorrow still to come. I spend about $150-$200 in gas a week so I usually get about $1000 profit in about a week.

Of course how lucrative it can be depends on where you live (cost of living, gas prices, is there enough demand for rideshares, etc) and what kind of car you have. But it can be a decent gig where you make your own hours and you can still have time to do recreational stuff.

A bunch. But also a bunch of good ones. It's just like any other customer service industry job, it just comes with the territory. But at least I have methods of dealing with them at least. They make a mess or damage my car then they get charged a steep price. I already pay monthly for unlimited interior car washes so any messes don't cost me anything extra out of pocket so that's just free money. If they're unruly (beyond reason at least, I have patience for standard dumb drunk stuff) then I just give them a bad rating and I never get a request from them again.

There's a service you can subscribe to for unlimited car washes?!

Thought about it but don't think I could squeeze it in.

I've thought about it. I live in a fairly small town, but there have been a lot of people complaining that all of the Ubers have to come from 30 miles away so it takes forever to get a pick up if they need it .

I figured I could just do it when I get bored and make a couple bucks or something.

what's your driver rating if you don't mind sharing?
