That's $27/hour and $1.19/mile.

In my market it would be a deadhead back, maybe not the case for you...

No you don’t. In fact you’re an idiot if you go from LA to Anaheim and deliberately drive back without a fare. It’s about knowing your markets. Anaheim is the largest city in OC and has Disneyland. The drop off was 9am. Probably took less than 10 minutes to find a ping to LAX or DTLA.

Is that your strategy? Drive back to where you started to wait for the next ride? Hint: you’re doing it wrong. 👊🏻

Mia Culpa... I'm not from your area. Where I am, an hour plus trip ALWAYS results in deadhead back.

If that's taking you to a place you want to be, jump on it and rock on!

Empty? The whole way back to the pick-up location? Why? Who drives with the utterly silly strategy of always returning to the pick-up location after every drop-off?

Clarification: In MY market long trips always result in deadhead back. I'm in a small college town in the middle of nowhere. Yes, I do try to use destination mode to get back but successes are very limited doing that. So generally, I avoid long trips unless they pay really well (which most often they don't).

Trips that stay IN my market, no, of course I don't have to return to the same location.
