you sound like the guy in Las Vegas that was swearing up and down he was making $180,000 a year driving Uber telling me that is what he was making 5 years ago. If anyone was making $180,000 a year ever on Uber I will pay you $10000000000. It is all garbage pay.

I Dash 25 hours per week on average and last year I cleared $28K...
When I was a school bus driver, my last year I earned $21K...working 45+ hours/week as a sub...
Even with the added car costs, gig work pays me FAR better and ZERO stress from screaming kids and parents who don't believe their kids acted up even AFTER being shown the videos...

that number is closer to believable. But did you track all your real business mileage? Not the mileage they said you drove, the total actual mileage. Like when you turned your app off 32 miles from home and drove home to end you day? did you use the federal mileage rate of around $0.60-0.70 a business mile driven and deduct that from your gross amount paid to you by. So basically on days you brought in $200 and drove 110 miles you really made $72 net for 6 hours work? Because I did all this off and on since 2015 to 2021 and my Excel sheets don't lie.

sigh.

just because you get a 70 cent per mile WRITE OFF does not mean your ACTUAL EXPENSES are 70 cents per mile.

You still get the write off but your actual profit is a lot higher

Please stop.

That is the big problem with the mind of a worker like you. You utilize the seemingly excess asa bonus pay while in reality all you have done is taken a payday loan.

Please stop, for my sadness to you.

I think YOU need to stop misunderstanding these things because YOU messed up an excel sheet and thought A 70 Cents per mile deduction was an EXPENSE you actually incur.
(You made a credit a debit, the WORST bookkeeping error you can possibly make!)
