New Driver Experience

The new accelerator guarantee makes it difficult for those who drive less than 20 hours to make a living. So some part timers may drop out.

If this happens, then full-time drivers may get more pings. However, they have consistently to work harder to reach and exceed the 1.8 TPH.

You may start each evening well. But you only need one long trip with multiple drop offs to screw up the evening's TPH.

Only if you are very lucky can you avoid a long trip during the 5pm - 11pm hours.

But will you be so lucky day after day, week after week?

The law of averages will still get you. You have to be lucky for 7 days in a row to hit that illusive $42/hr.

If you get it this week, will you still be so lucky next week?

Good luck.
 
One good thing is that Uber pays weekly. For those of us with families to support this is very helpful.

When you get sucked into the need for weekly payouts, you find yourself reluctant to leave.

Then you get into a Hotel California trap. You can check out any time but you can never leave.

With Uber, you can go offline any time but you can never leave.

Peace.
