Ask a Uber/Lyft Driver Anything
So since early January I’ve been doing Uber/Lyft full time. To keep miles off of the 335i I purchased a 2013 Civic EX from Carmax about 4 weeks ago, along with the Maxcare plan for up to 100k miles (currently has 22k).
Shoot. |

My previous place of employment wouldn’t give me regular blowjobs so I told them to put a sock in it.
On a ‘cereal’ note, you could say yes. |

I average about $15 in gas daily (5 days a week) plus I work Friday nights ($10 max). Tolls are covered and I average about 120 miles per day. I pull in about $1-1.2k per week so take away the fuel, wear/tear, etc... maybe $750-$800? I know I could be way off here. The Civic is just used for this so depreciation isn’t making me lose sleep at night. These Honda’s are reliable af so I’m confident it’ll last another year or two of doing this until I figure out my next move.
The plan is to incorporate myself/tax ID by next month. I may need to consult a tax expert on this so if anyone is, please PM me. |

Does it suck to get a good fare with a long ride to a location where there are probably no return trips? For example, if you get a fare from South Miami to Weston, is that good or bad?

I have been fortunate so far on this topic, except for yesterday. Started out where I live on the Kendall/Pinecrest border and wound up in Broward and then out in the ‘sticks’ at Lake Worth. I did manage to get trips back to northern Broward but then I met my daily goal and just drove straight home. |

$10 tip?! Very genourous! This week I began starting at 1:30-2am and it’s better than starting at 4am. I’ve already made my goal for the day so as of now I’m chillin’ like Nate McMillan. |

1. Have you ever had people offer alternative forms of "payment"? (drugs, sex, EBT cards, etc)
2. Have you ever had someone pull sketchy shit like cancel a ride halfway through the trip? I give you credit because that job is more dangerous than people think.

As far as danger, I try to be alert like Jason Bourne of my surroundings, especially at night. A Lyft driver here in Miami was shot in the back four (4) times last month and survived. Quote:
Yesterday morning was my first encounter with vomit while doing this. College kid from The U threw up as he was sitting in the front passenger seat. He managed to keep 75% of it on him but the other half (Yogi quote) ended up all over the passenger area. I kept my cool as I knew Uber would give me $150 and they did just that last night. Gave barf boy 3 stars and it took me about an hour to clean all that up as soon as I dropped him off. A few times I almost vomited from the smell haha. Odd requests, non really to this point. |

I know what you look like? Hell, I couldn't pick my own kids from a lineup most days.
I couldn't do what you do. I'm so antisocial in real life that I go to great lengths to avoid everyone who isn't a kid. I'm getting worse and worse the older I get.

I am at the point where I'm going to just call the realtor, buy the fucking house, die in smoke while attempting to burn my excess dining room sets I have no wish to ever see again and hope my kids appreciate my effort of clearing them from ugly old shit. Fuck I hate myself. I'm too stubborn, too much of a hamster, and I don't want a house because then I have to look at all the fucking stuff I have!! So hows your day?

Do you rate your passenger 5 if you get a tip?
How can I improve my rating? My rating was 4.75 but dipped to 4.15. I don't slam doors. I am always on time at the pick up point. Never make a mess or eat in a car. I have had some good conversations. Nothing racist or inappropriate. I swear I am going to stop tipping if drivers are going to knock my rating. Any advice appreciated. |

A. Barf boy 2. A girl who was being an annoying back seatbdriver got 3 stars D. A woman who complained that I didn’t take the first left when I took the 2nd. I mean getting all bent outta shape over that? I gave her 3 stars and I could tell she gave me 3 as well. Most drivers I have encountered have been friendly and I have given them 5 stars. The only advise I can give you is if you slip something along these lines, “5 stars for you bud/ma’am”. I’ll guarantee it’ll go up. If my wife wanted to join, maybe. I lol’d. |
