Today was a grind for sure, 10 out of 16 rides tipped($20 cash-$2,$3,$5,$10),
Lyft- 6out of 12 tipped, so 16/26 tipped, 4 cancels from Uber . 12 hrshouse to house and 160 miles driven. Uber$20 cash tips plus $136 on app= $156+ $85 lyft. Total = $241-12 hrs house to house. Blah, for a weds it was a grind.

My hat's off to you. 28 rides in Vegas is a grind. Your body must have been a mess when you got out of your car.

When I was in Boston I would put in these kind of days. I was also visiting the masseuse at least once a week. My neck, shoulders and back were a mess.

I'm glad I gave food delivery a try out here. Getting out of the car and walking to and fro restaurants and apartments does a body good.

1 massage a week is mandatory, Chinatown. I stretch a lot and do 3 miles on treadmill before working and am active , down 25lbs since full time with this gig. Just have to adjust like any other endeavor in life , good day to ya sir?

And I did the pizza gig before they fired me after seven years so I know what you mean.

I used to average over 20 an hour delivering pizzas, however they limited it at the end for 25 hours a week. And you had to work every major holiday including the Super Bowl. I like the work up to 60 hours per week and takeoff four days at a time. So I'm loving this gig now

Post your gas receipts, car repair bills and your lunch and dinner receipts too. We all drive those hours too and know the reality of what you're really making.

One day you will be out of uber.. just like deactivated..

When it happens I'll let ya know, till then I'll do me?, and if Uber went away tomorrow I would adapt and survive. I have many skills , just happen to love this gig

Then stop braagging bout what you earn before expenses and taxes. In the end...Driving Uber is a negative sum game....Its called depreciation.
For you it's a losing job, for me it's a positive job that I love, and if it's sooooo bad, quit. I'll pick up the slack?

Not to mention , these are not brags, if I were to say back up while I whip it out, then that would be a brag, I reserve that for the wife, and she does step back as to not be hit with "it". I'm sorry I'm a juvenile at heart and that was just a joke. But she does have to use both hands LOL

Looks like close to 12 hours to me. You have already stated you drive 20 minutes to strip and 20 minute back plus over 11 hours on app. Plus gas, food prepare or not. I’m sure you have an answer like always.

I say, give the guy a break; he's doing something no one else is doing...posting his daily catch. His tone might change after 5K or 10K rides and some unexpected repair bill's, but, for now, at least he's posting reality when often, on this site, it's sorely missing. Thanks for sharing JF...looking forward to the rest of the month.

My daily “catch” is pretty similar to his. Some days I make a little more per hour some days a little less. We all pretty much make the same. No point in posting my numbers. They will be pretty similar to his.
