It has been 3 weeks since I started to driver for Uber. Here is the summary of my trips for last 3 weeks.

I made about $782 from 102 trips before the Uber commission and $1 safety fees. And I drive in Ottawa market here in Canada. I think this is well below the minimum wage and Uber's slave labor wages.

Please go watch 12 years a slave and tell me that driving people around for money whenever you choose is anything close to slave labor you idiot.

It took me over a month of research before I signed up with uber over a year ago... and the rates were double what they are now. I still hesitated.

Who on EARTH ! signs up for uber now and the last 8 months just blows my mind.

There are some really slow people out there.

... you're not alone.

You have around 160,000 friends and family that have done the same thing over the last month or two.

Seriously who joins this forum to be an ahole to actual drivers ? He probably passes bogus hundred dollar bills to the girls in uniform buying one box of cookies at a time, that's the "dude"

For your info, I do have day job that pays me around $45 /hr, and this UberX driving is part-time one. Here is the math:

Hours I put for last 3 weeks: 60 hrs
Total trips: 102
Total fares: $782.77
Gas : $150 ( gas is bit expensive compared to US )

$1 safety fees: ( 102 trips ) * 1 = $102
20% Uber commission : $ 156.55

The net I took home : $782.77 - ( 150+ 102+156.55) = $ 374.22

My hourly pay: $374.22/ 60 hrs = $6.24 /hr

For your info, the minimum pay in Canada is $11 /hr.

I guess you like destroying your car for less than minimum wage.

Well, I try to experiment this little while, maybe, Saturday morning only. If I make Saturday morning $50, I won't try any other hours. I do not want drunkards in my SUV in the evening hours.
