Sunday night after a major drinking holiday
Maybe. Maybe not. Via was busy for me, and I made my money off them today. I want fuber to see that I can and will work for others if they give me bull crap quest, and that I will do what they hate most- chase surge. I don't do low surge if I can help it, and I don't do base rides unless there's no other choice, but about 95% of my rides are surge and boost. When they give me stupid quest I make a point of going for only the highest surge, I cancel any rides that I'm on my way to getting it the surge goes up, and I jump onto other rideshare platforms and drive them a lot less. Middle finger salute, fuber!

I hope you make the Meetup. I'd love to compare Surge Harlot methods

Thursday's and Sunday's are typical ant days and are documented well here. I like your strategy and conviction in using it. I think it's important for a driver to focus on a strat rather than drive around aimlessly. That's what Uber wants. Be smarter people.

I can't afford to wander aimlessly. Gas costs too much. Better to have a plan. I was out for about 8 hours today and did 17 rides. I sat around and made predictions where the surges were and if it was a place to get lots of requests and waited. I'm sure I got lucky.

If it helps any, Saturday at 5 am was dead. I think it was about 45 minutes before I got a ping.

I can't. It's during rush. I'm chasing surge. ;-) for reals, man.

If they ever do a meetup at like 8 pm on Sunday, I might be able to consider that.
We'll be there past 8 for sure. I do rush hour harloting too but I make sure I stay in VA.

I think Carrot Top AKA Jo3030 was looking at Nats schedule to do a weekend game. Last year was a lot of fun.

After rush, I "rush home to walk my dog, finish errands, etc. Then if I see surge starting later night, I'll head back out for a couple of hours of high surge night trips.

I'll get there someday
