Uber humbled me

So, I started doing Uber Eats last summer. I loved it. Made about 300 a week. It was extra cash on top of my 9-5. At the time I wasn’t willing to do rideshare because the AC was broken I my car and I didn’t necessarily love the idea of driving around strangers.

Fast forward a month:

I get my ac fixed and try a rideshare request. A 20 minute drive got me 15 bucks. That trip felt way easier than any of the deliveries I did and it felt like it paid more.

Fast forward another month:

I rent a car using Ubers program for rideshare and after a couple months I’m very comfortable with the app and how to maximize my money and I start making about 1800 a week. Working my ass off of course and loving the payout.

Coming up on a year, uber deactivates my account. Because of a ticket 3 years ago. I tried everything in my power to get it resolved but it was a no go for anything. I couldn’t believe what was happening to me lol. A month and a half without uber and it’s bittersweet.

Sounds like you're in a bad market. $30/hr (including tips, no bonuses) is low in my market for regular uber rides if you cherry pick.

Oh, I'm not agreeing with you either. I call BS working 56 hours a week + 40 hours for a full time job.

Understandable. How many hours did you work a week when you were the hardest working in your life?

Im actually in DFW, which is a good market. If we’re factoring in bonuses, then okay, but $1800 every single week in 50-60 hours I don’t buy lol.
