His assessment is spot on for someone wanting to drive and how passengers are using the service in my experience so far.

Haha I love this! Clark Howard is awesome. Poor guy had to move to find a sweet spot and only drove ~45 miles in over 4 hours. He still rocks!

Kudos to Clark Howard for delving into the Rideshare business personally, instead of claiming knowledge without experience like most so called journalists do when researching stories like this.

No tips. He said

And there you have it. 'Be your own boss/ flexible hours/ freedom.'

Small print: For slave wages. And destroy your car in the process. And destroy the local legitimate taxi business. No one can make money. USA.

And destroy the local legitimate taxi business.

In NYC that may still be an honorable and reputable business but here in Atlanta it is full of habitual lying thieves.

Worse than Uber's management?

I guess you need to have seminars on how to make 20-35 bucks an hour driving uberX because you seem to be the only one (and a few of you're cohorts ) to be making money driving UberX in atlanta. ....

Clark Howard is that dude!

I think your trying to scare off all the newbees so you can have the treasures of Uber all to yourself. You should be ashamed of yourself.

So he basically says that it's a great way to supplement your income, especially if you're unemployed, but he doesn't see it as a career.

Just another effing "Uber cheerleader" I suppose.

He made $8 an hour one day and you are all proud of that. The rates there are not the rates here. NYC has one of the highest rates.Sure wish I could find a job for $8 an hour. lol. If you are going to acknowledge that everything he says is correct he used .54 a mile for expenses. Now tell me how many of you are making money at .54 cpm in expenses.

Starbucks is hiring starting at $8.50 an hour with benefits if you qualify!

His article was honest and true to his experience, IMO I see nothing wrong with that. He layed down his facts (.54c a mile) for him, a great start for educating the masses considering taking on Uber'ing... Just my .02

I agree. Now tell me again how you make money driving uber at ,56 after comm.

Can't speculate in that regard.
