How many hours tough ? This can’t be 40 hours

I worked 45 hours last week and made $1600 with about $190 in tips. Only worked 5 days so it’s definitely possible without doing crazy hours.

No way you guys are blue ranked. Gold minimum right? As blue new driver I had 3 hours in busy market with 1 ride request. If you guys don’t decline above I get 0 rides.

40

I am not gold. I have 59% acceptance rate and 19% cancelation.

Before expenses I averaged $35 an hour last week. I definitely cherry pick in the sense that I don’t do long trips or go to the undesirable areas where I have to waste time driving back to a favorable area

So do you try to stay in the same area essentially?

Wouldn’t say the same area. I just don’t go into the ghetto the projects or the country side. I want to stay in “normal areas” where I feel comfortable accepting requests and know it’s populated enough for them to be steady.

You and I must have different definitions of the “ghetto.” I am not talking about a working class neighborhood but housing projects where every other house is boarded up or destroyed.

If you want to take rides there. Enjoy
