Question to the weekend warriors. How much can you expect to make working from 6am to 12 midnight. Or what do you think the average is.

6am - 12 midnight? Why stop at midnight. Keep going until 3am.
You'll make about $300 but you'll loose your sanity and dignity along the way

Gotcha. In 36 hrs. (weekend hours you mentioned) you can make $400 minimum.
I'm still a newbie, but from my last few weeks driving, I'd look at doing (assuming DC is your main area)
-6am to 10am or so on Friday
-4pm to 7pm or so on Friday
-9pm to 4am Friday into Saturday
-7am to noon Saturday
-9pm to 4am Saturday into Sunday
I did 4pm to 7pm then 9pm to 2am on Friday last week and got maybe $260 before expenses (maybe 180 or 200 miles driven). Then did 9pm to 2 or 3am Saturday into Sunday and did maybe $180 before expenses (maybe 100 or 120 miles driven).
Obviously, ymmv, and as noted, I've only been driving maybe a month, so I'm not an expert by any means.

good luck!
Surge and/or Boost will have a dramatic impact on your earnings.
If you're not already in boost, email Rohit and the gang & ask what you need to do to get in the program. If you can hit 65 trips Sunday 9:00 A.M. to Sunday 9:00 A.M. you'll be Gold. That's the best boost for the time investment.
Fridays from about noon on is usually steady. I've seen big surges Saturday and Sunday mornings, but rarely been out that early. Nice bonus is not much traffic at that time of day.

Last weekend Friday-Sunday 73 fares, drove 29 hrs, including about $25 in tips $800. All UberX and an occasional pool if surge/boost warrants it.
Your earnings it all depends?
If your offered boost or not? Are you getting the pings? I use to think Uber was sending pings to closest driver? But not sure if there is a selective process now or not? Though I've done 14+ hrs many times on Saturday. I wouldn't just plan to work those many hours on any given day. Of course coffee always helps. But lately some Saturday's haven't been that great. And I'll shut it down and make it up Sunday.
Also you need a set of rules on accepting fares. Or you'll end up accepting ridiculous ETA's that Uber sends on occasion. Have seen two 24 minute ETA's while I'm in Arlington and there trying to send me to Vienna. One last Saturday early evening. And one at 6:30 this morning.

Yeah, i was thinking the same. Maybe more if you get lucky and get a few good surge rides pre-boost hours.

You people are crazy. I have yet to have gone that hard. Maybe before winter vacation, but I assume it could be a bit dead since more uber drivers can't afford to have a vacation.

I go out at 5am on weekends and just go until I hit 250 or 300. U have to judge how your day is going if u get your mark fast keep rolling sometimes if can get difficult with the bs games they play

I make $250 easy on a Saturday morning and again on Sunday morning. I stop around 2 or 3 around that time. There is no traffic so even without boost or surge you will make more
