I have put in 105 trips and 65 hours this week and the past few weeks (most of this month) so about 350 trips/ 250 hours. I'm wondering if I should be getting burnout this early being an uber driver since I started this month. I'm feeling tired most of the time.

What do you do when you feel this way? Any tips are much appreciated.

It's all about geting attune with it. It's like when you first start running. Making that first mile was a chore at first. Next thing you know you are knocking down 5 miles, even 10 miles without batting an eye. You are starting to hit the proverbial wall. Once you pass over it 65 hours becomes a walk in the park. Just never work 7 days in a row and you will be fine.

Log off for a few days. Can't make all the money.
True, perhaps we need to team up and rule the ATL lol. I ordered some food from ubereats and that helped. It's nice to be on the other end sometimes.

Yeah that's alot of hours to be driving. Probaby time to slow down. How much do you need to make per week?
Good question, I'd like to make 700 a week after paying the car. I don't need that much but it would be nice to be able to make that much since I'm doing this full time and not in school at the moment.

I'm taking all Sundays off from now on :). Thanks for that tip. I really should give myself a day off from the pax.

What's your goal? You can't burn out in life if you have a goal.

I drive anywhere from 60 to 90 hours a week making anywhere from 1100 to 1700 a week and I'm a busy man. I have dreams, I have a vision, i've got goals that cost a lot of money, so if I have to cut people off and or miss out on the good times… I do. Don't listen to anyone that doesn't have ambition, goals, vision, and a mission. So ultimately this is a question that should be asked here because what burn out is for you, or for me, or for anybody else is totally different from the next person,it all depends on what the motivation is.

Oh you can burn out. You just remind yourself that it's worth it. I did about 75-85 hours a week for ten years and I was burnt the hell out. but it's worth it now to only work when I want to

What was your goal, what did you accomplish? If I work 75 to 85 hours a week for 10 years, I am not working for Uber...I will have met my goal by then.

My goal was to retire before 30. And I did. Uber isn't the place I'd throw 75 hours into. But if working excessive hours on Uber is a means to and end for him who am I to judge? Just make sure whatever work you do pays off.
