I'm tinking about quitting my full time job job to be a Uber driver full time, I met a driver and his advice to me was "if you really want to make $$, drive select or black" he goes on to say he made $65K last year driving black and select and ne never works past 6 pm and about 5 days a week....NOW, is this guy full of it? or can a Select or Black Uber driver really make that kind of $$$,,, if not how much can I expect (40 more/less) hours a week driving merto around metro Detroit and the subs?

WOW!!, WTF! I guess I got my answer, thanks brothers for being so straight with me... and my dumb ass was actually thinking about going out and buying a 4K Chrysler 300 (uber said it was ok) and only doing Black/Select runs working hell no more than 35-40 a week ( or less) and bring home about a G a week ( my weekends belong to me), DAMN, you guys saved me, thanks, next time I need a car I will try to request one of you...p.s. no one really did answer the question about how much $$ can a select driving working 40 week, metro Detroit/Ann arbor?

Thanks Fellas, Ok here's the deal, I met this guy who wants me to buy his car (airport only) transportation business , he drives an old car (decent condition) from northwest suburbs of Detroit , Novi, farmington, northville etc..) to DTW only. he's retired, met some girl online and is moving to Cambodia to be with her..(ikr) anyway...we have been talking for a year about me buying the business, his business is pretty solid. This business needs to step up into the 21st century. He only takes cash, NO credit cards, he has a built in clientele that call him on a regular bases, for rides only to DTW..I have stood in one spot and talked to him face to face for 20 minutes on numerous occasions and in each time I actually see with my own eyes and heard with my own ears him turning DOWN jobs because he doesn't take credit cards or do CORPORATE accounts, or he doesn't want to go to Southfield or downtown Detroit, I call it laziness , he says that he doesn't wanna work that hard...

Anyway a young(ish) guy like me can really sky rocket this business, which I plan to but I can't do it alone...Now. here is where my new uber driver thread member buddies come into play...

I'm buying the business in a couple of months (the price is insanely cheap) I'm a one man band, I would need other drivers and ideas.
we could really expand and make some good $, anything you don't like about uber/lyft we can start our own service from the ground up with existing clientele

please if you are interested or have ideas please let me know and we will go from there
thanks
