After almost 3 years! when I started driving I had 5000 dollars in my account, I was trying to make extra money- as this company deceives their drivers and bottlenecks them to be insolvent! my exroomate is in a homeless shelter and I will be soon! after my fan belt broke, I never even heard from lyft again, they took my express drive car, and left me on the side of the road!!
they deleted my account and I was supposed to pay 280 dollars, to get a new car! when I only made 200 after 30 hours of work, exasperated!!! - they completely destroy lives!!! they even took most of my deposit back! now I,m homeless and no phone, nothing!!! this company is evil!!!

Was waiting on one of these rants, I have missed them. So what happened to the job you had that allowed you to save up 5k?
Did you quit it, thinking you had a brilliant plan to drive a car for a living in southern California? What could go wrong?

As those savings dwindled, what attempts did you make to find a job with steady, reliable income?

This situation is of your own doing. Until you accept responsibility and move on, you're going nowhere. You have a foul attitude and i'm sure it will come across to any future potential employers. Get yourself together. Grow up.

Can you not get up on time to report to real job? Are you psychically challenged so that cannot do anything but sit in a car all day? Do you have a high school diploma? GED? FORGET rideshare....just get a real job. Walk in to every grocery store and retail establishment (Target, Walmart) etc. Fill out an application. Apparently you passed a background check so the rest is easy. You will have a job in less than a month. THEN at least you will have a steady income. After that search for better positions. GET THE JOB FIRST!. This advice is called living as an adult 101.

I,m homeless and no phone, nothing!!!
How are you posting this??? :eek::eek::eek:

After almost 3 years! when I started driving I had 5000 dollars in my account, !
Did you expect the $5000 to last over 3 years?

Why didn't you use those 5k to buy a car. Then at least you'd have somewhere to sleep.

Protip #1: Starbucks is now seeking applicants for full time homeless ppl roles to occupy the Third Place at SBUX stores everywhere around the world. Benefits include free toilet use which comes with hot/cold plumbing, free net access so you can keep posting on here, and potential access to free, used syringes for your recreational/designer drug usage in the restroom. If you're in San Francisco, you can add free groceries and some vintage Mary Jane to as extra perks. Be sure to grab a shopping cart and this offer before the new CEO rescinds it....

Protip #2: If you do UberEats, you don't need a car. You can also deliver and make money on a motorbike or regular bicycle. Walmart sells the latter dirt cheap btw.......

Protip #3: Think outside the box. Consider innovative opportunities like delivering Prime Fresh/UberEats with Clipper Cards

Seriously, why do you insist on hindering and holding yourself back? Since you passed Lyft's DMV AND criminal back ground check, then WTF can't you go sign up to drive FT doing OTR for a trucking company FFS? o_O The company can even arrange to pick you up and drive you to their training center. They also put you up in local motels while you're training.

Because seriously, it sounds like you spend over 16 hrs a day suffering crotch rot behind your steering wheel? Because all you ever post about is how Lyft is depriving you of a living/quality of life. And that assessment is based on what seems to be a poor skill set as a ride share driver.

Changing careers to work for a real transportation company is a blessing in disguise. It would save you 2 hrs behind the wheel. Commercial truck drivers are limited to driving 12 hrs a day, so not that much different from Lyft. And you're far better off driving up your blood pressure in the padded comfort of your 18 wheel trailer cab. Than raving in a public library or some place where you currently have net access to make these posts.

Finally, as a trucker, you'd make a regular paycheck (average $43K+ per year which translates into a steady $19.87/hr), get some healthcare benefits, get a valuable class A and B license paid at company expense, not have to worry about how to afford buying simple Maslow Hierarchy things like food on a weekly basis, and yes.....you'd also have a place to sleep.

Other members have successfully made this transition with their lives and moved on from this forum btw. None of them have thrown over the top tantric fits that you've consistently exhibited to date.

Newsflash Hunter420 : Lyft destroys lives only because people like YOU continue allowing it to do so. Get woke.
