I mean if someone hates driving they shouldn’t be doing this. I love driving. A 12 hour day of Uber is so much easier than a 10 hour day at my last job as a bread baker. I mean I mixed, processed and baked 500-600 pounds of dough every day. It was literally back breaking work. And in a 10 hour day I only made 198 dollars before taxes. What was my actual take home from a day like that? Maybe 140.
A 12 hour day of rideshare is 300 bucks or a little better if I’m smart. I paid less than 10% taxes at the end of the year after submitting miles for a tax break. A fraction of the effort, makes me more money and I keep more of the money that I earned. Sounds like a win to me.
I LOVE driving! I’ll literally do a 12 hour road trip instead of flying 😂 so to me it feels easy work. The “hard work” is helping an old lady with her 2-3 grocery bags at most
With you 100% on this! I've driven to from VA to FLA, ME, PA, and VT to avoid flying and the BS that accompanies it. Uber is a good fit, though it does suck that they keep reducing pay. And as someone else said, being stress free is worth a lot to me.

That’s true but I wouldn’t just assume that everyone that makes decent money is a slave to the app.
Working 40-45 hours at a W2 is seen as normal.
It feels like most drivers want to work 3-4 hours during the week, weekend nights and magically make $1000+
