With summer approaching and the "Snow birds" headed back north I turned on my app yesterday and waited for a ping........ and waited...nothing for an hour. Ok let me check the rider app in Bradenton to see how many cars are in my area. WOW!!! 8 cars downtown 2 in Palmetto 3 out east!!! What??
Furthermore Sarasota had 4 at SRQ(and it was an hour before the first arrival) 9 Downtown and several scattered around various parts of Sarasota county.
Folks this market can't sustain those numbers. Especially this time of year. What's the answer? Well like all things they will correct themselves in the long run. In the short run some of us will fail the see the problem before it's too late. It may take a while but you will eventually understand Uber makes its money on recruiting DRIVERS not on recruiting riders!
Strange as that may seem its true! All you see is driver recruitment ads. Asking you to recruit your friends for a pittance. As a driver that has been in this business for almost two years, you must understand you have to stop recruiting!! If you plan on making this a sustainable business for yourself you must protect it for yourself!!! Don't fall for the lazy lure of what seems like easy money!! The devil is always in the details!!!!!
