Do you have realistic expectations as a rideshare driver?

If you really want to protest Uber and Lyft, shut down the apps today and don’t turn them on until you get your demands met.

Imagine a crap driver in a crap car and offering a crap ride. In contrast, there's my service, where every detail is catered to perfection. If both scenarios end with a five-star rating and a tip, the value of these stars becomes meaningless. Such indiscriminate generosity paints a misleading picture for Uber, potentially affecting the app's ability to maintain quality standards and every driver gets paid the same.

Do you have a gig worker mindset?

I rented an Uber Tesla though Hertz and got 90% of the fare driving today.

Safety is the most important thing Uber drivers need to think about.

I hit a deer in my Prius and rented a Tesla through Uber. It’s been good so far.

Should we be employees? I don’t want to be!

I don't want to be an employee. The allure of being a rideshare driver for me, and many like me, lies in the flexibility and autonomy it offers. I cherish the ability to turn my app on, decide when I want to drive, choose my preferred company for the day, and pick the trips I want. This freedom is non-negotiable for me.

Most drivers steer clear of short, low-paying trips, but I've discovered a counterintuitive strategy that works wonders. These trips, often perceived as unprofitable and inconvenient, are actually hidden gems in your daily hustle. Let me explain why.

Lyft cut my fare in half and provided the worst customer service.

Safety is a constant for us Uber drivers on the road. Each ride brings a new passenger, a different destination, and unpredictable situations. In Episode 7 of my Daily Drive YouTube podcast, I touched on safety, specifically one thing I think you've never heard of.

Being an Uber driver often means working in solitude, but that doesn't mean we're alone. Our 'coworkers' are the vast network of other drivers we interact with online and occasionally meet in person. This community forms the backbone of our support system, offering advice, empathy, and a shared understanding of our experiences on the road.

Starting as an Uber driver can feel overwhelming, but with the right approach, it can be incredibly rewarding.
