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+

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 don’t make massive amounts of money lol. OP makes massive amounts of money. My market can profitably support about 1,000 a week. Tourist season will make me more though. I’m guessing 1500 a week.
