Lyft 5 years,uber 8 years now, little over 19000 trips total. Love not answering to anyone, and working when i feel like it ! Be safe out there everyone 🙏 😊
I drove 9 years Uber and Lyft, 18,000 rides. Just quit Rideshare due to it not worth doing anymore. Didnt expect to do it that long but rather work alone , own hours, pay at end of day, after corporate lay off after all the work done for them but now dont see Rideshare any different than corporate. Own my own business and control of my own pay not any other business pretending that you an independent contractor treating you like an employee.
At one time driving rideshare was a good paying gig. Some people thought it was a career. Times have changed and it's no longer a source of easy money. AND surely NOT a career!
32,566 7yrs 2mo rides - I could not work for years after some Back and Neck injuries. Discovered Uber back on February 2, 2017, and started driving February 5th, 2017, up here in Minnesota .. Being a distance driver, I loved driving to all the Outer cities from Ham Lake, Anoka, Maple Grove, Lakeville, Stillwater, White Bear Lake, Hugo, Forest Lake back in the day. Today you can start from basically anywhere in the twin cities metro area but its thanks to guys like Joe who built the inner cities of St. Paul and Minneapolis because it's the backbone of Rideshare up here in the Land of 10,000 Lakes. Cheers Joe for 10 years
I have been driving for Lyft and Uber for 8 years now. Before this I was a full time security guard. I started doing it full time in 2021, and left my security job.
thank you for sharing your story. I’ve been a driver not quite as long as you have. I am coming up on six years in between the two. I’ve got to almost 10,000 rides. It’s crazy to think that it’s been that long and I’ve had that many rides, but I’ve had a lot of great experiences and a lot of great stories.
Hi. Taxi Driver from Sydney. I’m jumping ship to Uber very soon. Purchasing a Hybrid Toyota Camry this week. Great car for passengers and Drivers. These Rideshare videos have been very helpful, although I have experience doing the same job, but from a different angle, I knew not to assume I was king. I have a strategy and flexibility with tactics. A target area that seems to be neglected on the fringe of surges will be researched heavily. Also a side hustle region. Both areas have big $$$ and I’m excited 🤓
9.5 years. Rideshare Robert. Started in Baltimore market in 2014. Been following Harry since the beginning. I have accumulated 17k Uber trips and 7k Lyft trips. I have experienced many of the same things you have mentioned. Never thought I would still be driving. On my Third vehicle. That’s show biz.
I have been driving Uber since August 2017. 16,000+ rides. 4.93 rating. Last week they locked my account and i haven't been able to even sign on. They even locked my passenger app. All i got was an email saying someone reported me for safety reasons and it was between Friday and Sunday. This garbage about them being transparent not deactivating people based on just what the passengers say is just that, garbage.
Driving 5years 14,000 rides and I do feel the same way freedom sight seeing talking to different people and the availability of when to work but I do stick to the same time n days 85% of time too
Approaching 5 yrs in October 2024. It's always been a way to augment my income. I love the people and their stories; I once had the CEO of a fairly large company in my backseat for 45 minutes, and she was in a chatty mood; I learned more about business in that hour than four years in college.
Joe, your story is very similar to mine. Driver of 8yrs here and I also posted on Craigslist offering airport trips, as well as through Task Rabbit offering airport trips. Then I started bringing people around at different destinations. I signed up just to start doing it here and there, it blossomed into full time and was profitable up until this year. So our household has three solid sources of income, including a new full time job. Uber will now mostly be a few hours after work heading home and most weekends. Because of the other two solid job incomes, including the other source, Uber is no longer going to be the primary source.
I'm slowly getting more hooked by the day haha. I drive for uber and shop for instacart. If I'm feeling lazy (like not wanting to get out and lug groceries), I drive. When I'm tired of sitting, I shop haha.
I love when you post because it doesn't ilicit all the negative replies that you see in the other guys video. Like if Uber is so bad for them then just stop driving. Don't ruin Uber for the rest of us making good money.
Those same people you alerting too are people like him who said they love driving Uber until something unfairly happens to them or else they would not be doing it. Although they may sound negative does not mean they are not telling the truth!
I am retired but couldn’t sit home all day. I’ve driven Uber,Lyft and Door Dash. I just deliver Door Dash now because I don’t have to concern myself with my appearance or my cars appearance. I have fun with Door Dash and don’t worry about the tipping etc. I can understand the frustration if your dependent on the income to survive as the base pay has gone down. My advice to anyone driving Door Dash is if a problem comes up deal with whatever it is in a calm manner and try not to let emotions get in your way. Always make the Top Dasher requirements because then you control your schedule without having to schedule your work time. Deliver the $2.50 and $3.00 deliveries because Door Dash will always kill your acceptance rate if you decline deliveries. Enjoy your craft learn as much as you can on shopping deliveries etc. Drive sensibly for good gas mileage and you can make money at driving. Drive safely and just let any driving rage go because your going to run into bad drivers, slow pickups, bad directions from the app. It’s better to pull over take a short break then move on.
I'm now driving for Uber full time during the day and into the evening. I'm in California and after gas oil changes car cleaning ect. I'm three months behind on car payments. And what uber pays drivers is less than half of what they are charging passengers. I enjoy driving and have had no bad experiences with passengers but at the end of the day I'm not making enough money.
Going on 6 years, almost UBER exclusive. I switched to Lyft last week and it pays way better than UBER in my market ATM, so I'm mostly Lyft for the moment. I don't think I could go back to a "regular" job anymore! Could I use more money, sure. But what price can you put on the freedom rideshare gives you? I was a trucker for years. This is a way better gig...
I also discovered I love getting totally wasted on days off. Dealing with some of these Jack Offs drive me nuts, plus tell everyone about the force to buy a new vehicle to get the best drives.
7 years off and on. Good to fall back on. But I bought a new car, same make and model. Somehow my old car was a Comfort. New car is not. Having Comfort was worth it. Now it's not worth it. At least not in my market.
Lol, rates were far higher 10 years than today by the looks of it. Meanwhile, Lyft has about doubled their take rate. Some of those trips look like they would now pay half as much in my market. Freedom and flexibility is an illusion since you can't earn squat when driving without surge or bonuses. And if you even want to earn a minimum wage, you can only work during surges and bonuses, so there goes your freedom and flexibility. Congrats on the 10 years though! How much worse can things get for drivers before they start to get better?
A job is mai ly to pay for one's needs and wants. " Enjoying " a job is such a silly notion. You get enjoyment from being around family,friends,pursuing interest, and hobbies. So in conclusion: YOU GO CHAMP !!!
He’s not going make $200 a day driving a truck. You need about 500 miles a day to make 200. Most these companies give you 2 days for 600 miles. So you’re going make $120 $150. Trucking. Atleast with Uber you can go home every night. I like clueless guys think trucking cdl is better. You’re looking about $1000 a 3:52 week before taxes with cdl and living in a truck eating in expensive truck stops. Uber gives you 84 hrs a week to drive. If you can’t make more than 1k in 84 hrs rideshsre you need to move to different market. Don’t like the 84 hours. Your going be in the truck 168 hrs a week with cdl.
I dont see how you can survive,,unless your living in moms basement,,,the money is no longer sustainable!!years ago yes no problem,,,but having to work 60 hours to just get by is not flexibility since when you wake up and realize you are working two fulltime jobs you quickly realise how much safer and smarter it is to get a real job working 40 hours and actually being able to save money because your not putting away for the next car repair or gas payment!!!,,after gas you are making 12 an hour which is not sustainable to do fulltime unless you are living in mommys basement free of charge
I don’t like to show up to an office at certain days and times but also go open the same schedule driving for Uber so where’s the complete flexibility? 😂
4&1/2 yrs uber deactivated perm no explanation after 4,325 rides high rated Bout 8 yrs w Lyft goin ok 67 yrs old love th flex but they should consider loyal drivers for some help w gas/ maintenance
FYI you don't want to finance a vehicle for Commercial Capacity cause the insurance alone will cost you a lot. If you gonna buy a vehicle for Rideshare get a used good condition cash car cause they don't pay enough to cover a car note! Rideshare is a side gig to make money on the side of your primary job. It's not meant to be a primary job which is why many are disappointed in them today trying to get them to care more for the drivers. When you use your personal vehicle you will get less rides for a higher amount of fares. If you rent through their apps you will get more rides with less amount of their fares cause over 70 percent of your profit goes to the weekly rental fee and gas or charging an EV or Tesla. I've used my personal vehicle twice and rented through Uber and Lyft apps. You can write off as expenses through standard mileage.
@@texasmade2719 I'm currently doing it full time with a rental and after rental fees I pocket anywhere from 700-1000 a week that's why I want to finance a vehicle so I could make way more and not worry about rental fees
@@texasmade2719 I currently drive full time and I pocket anywhere from 700-1000 a week after rental fees so I figured if I had my own vehicle I can double that
My ex roommate rents the cara car in Boston through Lyft. He has been doing it two years now. Last year he made 84,000. If you minus the rental fees he still brought home over fifty something thousand.

8 years with 17,450 rides. I love meeting people and listening to their stories

I only like the $ who care their stories?
Stupid. Waste of time and money, cost versus gains.
Scam Uber
Hi. Taxi Driver from Sydney.
I’m jumping ship to Uber very soon.
Purchasing a Hybrid Toyota Camry this week.
Great car for passengers and Drivers.
These Rideshare videos have been very helpful, although I have experience doing the same job, but from a different angle, I knew not to assume I was king. I have a strategy and flexibility with tactics.
A target area that seems to be neglected on the fringe of surges will be researched heavily. Also a side hustle region.
Both areas have big $$$ and I’m excited 🤓
BS. Hopefully you'll make your car payment and nothing else to live on.
6 years and 20,000+ rides. It's been a love/fucking hate relationship.
Yeah, I get it.
9.5 years. Rideshare Robert. Started in Baltimore market in 2014. Been following Harry since the beginning. I have accumulated 17k Uber trips and 7k Lyft trips.
I have experienced many of the same things you have mentioned. Never thought I would still be driving. On my Third vehicle. That’s show biz.
How long did each vehicle last you?
I have been driving Uber since August 2017. 16,000+ rides. 4.93 rating. Last week they locked my account and i haven't been able to even sign on. They even locked my passenger app. All i got was an email saying someone reported me for safety reasons and it was between Friday and Sunday.

We need to stop calling ourselves rideshare drivers. We are basically poor people's taxi service.

5 years in Sept of this year. Part-time. [4-5 hrs. 5 days a week]. Just under 7,000 rides. I appreciate all of your content, Joe. Thank you!

the rideshare companies should pay you in stock options as a bonus for a 10 year veteran.
they save those only for the over paid executives.

### Vehicle Costs, Operational Expenses, and Insurance Calculation
#### Purchase Costs (Out the Door Prices)
1. **2024 Hyundai Elantra Hybrid**: Approximately $28,000.
2. **2024 Toyota Corolla Hybrid**: Approximately $28,500.
3. **2024 Toyota Camry LE**: Approximately $34,000.
4. **2025 Tesla Model 3**: Approximately $55,000.
#### Fuel and Electricity Costs Calculation
Assuming 5000 miles per month, fuel price of $4.60/gallon, and California electricity price of $0.38/kWh:
1. **Hyundai Elantra Hybrid** (52 MPG):
- Monthly fuel cost: 5000 miles ÷ 52 MPG × $4.60/gallon = $442.31.
2. **Toyota Corolla Hybrid** (50 MPG):
- Monthly fuel cost: 5000 miles ÷ 50 MPG × $4.60/gallon = $460.
3. **Toyota Camry LE Hybrid** (52 MPG):
- Monthly fuel cost: 5000 miles ÷ 52 MPG × $4.60/gallon = $442.31.
4. **Tesla Model 3** (250 Wh/mile):
- Monthly electricity cost: 5000 miles × 0.25 kWh/mile × $0.38/kWh = $475.
#### Three-Year Cost Calculation
Total mileage: 5000 miles/month × 36 months = 180,000 miles.
1. **Hyundai Elantra Hybrid**:
- Fuel cost: 180,000 miles ÷ 52 MPG × $4.60/gallon = $15,923.08
- Purchase cost: $28,000
- Total cost: $43,923.08
2. **Toyota Corolla Hybrid**:
- Fuel cost: 180,000 miles ÷ 50 MPG × $4.60/gallon = $16,560
- Purchase cost: $28,500
- Total cost: $45,060
3. **Toyota Camry LE Hybrid**:
- Fuel cost: 180,000 miles ÷ 52 MPG × $4.60/gallon = $15,923.08
- Purchase cost: $34,000
- Total cost: $49,923.08
4. **Tesla Model 3**:
- Electricity cost: 180,000 miles × 0.25 kWh/mile × $0.38/kWh = $17,100
- Purchase cost: $55,000
- Total cost: $72,100
#### Maintenance Costs
Assuming average maintenance costs of:
- Hybrid vehicles: $0.05/mile.
- Electric vehicles: $0.03/mile.
Three-year maintenance costs:
1. **Hyundai Elantra Hybrid**: $9,000
2. **Toyota Corolla Hybrid**: $9,000
3. **Toyota Camry LE Hybrid**: $9,000
4. **Tesla Model 3**: $5,400
#### Insurance Costs
Assuming average annual insurance costs of:
- Hybrid vehicles: $1,200.
- Electric vehicles: $1,500.
Three-year insurance costs:
1. **Hyundai Elantra Hybrid**: $3,600
2. **Toyota Corolla Hybrid**: $3,600
3. **Toyota Camry LE Hybrid**: $3,600
4. **Tesla Model 3**: $4,500
#### Total Operational Costs
Including maintenance and insurance:
1. **Hyundai Elantra Hybrid**: $43,923.08 + $9,000 + $3,600 = $56,523.08
2. **Toyota Corolla Hybrid**: $45,060 + $9,000 + $3,600 = $57,660
3. **Toyota Camry LE Hybrid**: $49,923.08 + $9,000 + $3,600 = $62,523.08
4. **Tesla Model 3**: $72,100 + $5,400 + $4,500 = $82,000
#### Uber Revenue Calculation
Assuming revenue of $0.8 per mile:
Total revenue = 180,000 miles × $0.8 = $144,000.
Net income (after deducting total operational costs):
1. **Hyundai Elantra Hybrid**: $144,000 - $56,523.08 = $87,476.92
2. **Toyota Corolla Hybrid**: $144,000 - $57,660 = $86,340
3. **Toyota Camry LE Hybrid**: $144,000 - $62,523.08 = $81,476.92
4. **Tesla Model 3**: $144,000 - $82,000 = $62,000
### Conclusion
The Hyundai Elantra Hybrid yields the highest net income, followed by the Toyota Corolla Hybrid, with the Tesla Model 3 having the lowest net income.

How would someone finance a vehicle for ride-sharing while have Lyft for a main source of income so who finances ride share drivers
FYI you don't want to finance a vehicle for Commercial Capacity cause the insurance alone will cost you a lot. If you gonna buy a vehicle for Rideshare get a used good condition cash car cause they don't pay enough to cover a car note! Rideshare is a side gig to make money on the side of your primary job. It's not meant to be a primary job which is why many are disappointed in them today trying to get them to care more for the drivers.
When you use your personal vehicle you will get less rides for a higher amount of fares. If you rent through their apps you will get more rides with less amount of their fares cause over 70 percent of your profit goes to the weekly rental fee and gas or charging an EV or Tesla.
I've used my personal vehicle twice and rented through Uber and Lyft apps. You can write off as expenses through standard mileage.
@@texasmade2719 I'm currently doing it full time with a rental and after rental fees I pocket anywhere from 700-1000 a week that's why I want to finance a vehicle so I could make way more and not worry about rental fees
@@texasmade2719 I currently drive full time and I pocket anywhere from 700-1000 a week after rental fees so I figured if I had my own vehicle I can double that
@@texasmade2719 I still would like to know how to do it cause I need my own vehicle
My ex roommate rents the cara car in Boston through Lyft. He has been doing it two years now. Last year he made 84,000. If you minus the rental fees he still brought home over fifty something thousand.
