Hey there! Los Angeles Driver here! I'm moving to the Seattle area soon and was wondering how long does it take to get your first For Hire Permit especially if you got it through Lyft? (I won't be driving for Fuber)
Good luck surviving in Seattle doing Lyft only. The area is WAY oversaturated, and Lyft just keeps getting worse.(I won't be driving for Fuber)
Interesting... If the rates are the same on both platforms (both of which are MUCH higher than LA) then I'll have no problem driving for Uber as well. Down here I don't want to drive for Uber because the rates are 25% less than Lyft. Lyft is the only way to make money down here for now.Good luck surviving in Seattle doing Lyft only.

Even outside of Seattle/King County, driver saturation at 4 am looks like this...

Finally got Lyft to work... combined U/L I grossed $176 in 7 hours... I could NEVER do that in LA except on a Friday or Saturday night!I would have thought Lyft only was completely unviable before my trials and tribulations with Uber and Lyft deactivating me but I'm doing 80-90% of my combined Uber/Lyft business on Lyft only. Right now I'm doing $25-30/hour, $15-20ish/ ride. And that hourly figure is with a LOT of missing pings because I'm goofing off doing my grocery shopping or playing pinball or something (short attention span/meds). Tips have been helping a lot. Did 7/7 tips yesterday for a total of $200 over 6 hours.
That said, I might still be on the Lyft welcome back priority list.
If I were in Uber (+ Lyft) I wouldn't be happy with that number. That $200/6 hour was on a Monday working only daylight hours inclusive of the 10am-2pm dead period because I can't see at night.Finally got Lyft to work... combined U/L I grossed $176 in 7 hours...

Yes I do... I know I made a few bad calls yesterday.You have much to learn about this market.
I look forward to the day where I am frustrated with that number too LOL!! (Teach me senpai)If I make $176, I'm frustrated.
I didn't get on the road until 2pm and drove until 10pm with about an hour of downtime getting gas, food, stretch break etc. I am slowly going to have to become *GULP* a morning person. In LA and afternoon/evening shift usually got better results because of traffic demand was never an issue. Obviously things are different here! But I was grateful for my measly $176 because the effort and milage required to make it was WAY less here than it ever was in LA.If I were in Uber (+ Lyft) I wouldn't be happy with that number. That $200/6 hour was on a Monday working only daylight hours inclusive of the 10am-2pm dead period because I can't see at night.
I wasn't frustrated today... finally learning my way! Thank you Senpai!If I make $176, I'm frustrated.
Stool sample come out clean?Not really bro. This ain't April.
Last week I saw enforcement on two evenings. On one I got the full Monty. Full frontal and an oil check as well. All my docs were in order.

It's useless, you don't need anything on you or your car if you're just passing through the garage after being cutoff and forced into the wrong portion of the airport.Not really bro. This ain't April.
