Contrary to what one Uber lover thinks this is the reality. These companies are ripping us the drivers and the passengers off but no one does nothing about it. With gas at almost $3.50 a gallon and summer upon us I’m Done. With no surge,bonuses suck and pay decrease it is not worth it anymore. It will not be getting any better only worse once Uber goes public.
If you came home and saw me in bed with your girlfriend/wife would you be very upset and feel cheated or would you be okay as long as she let you have a piece every now and then?
This is why it's hopeless here in Vegas. Too many drivers share this attitude. The reason drivers give up their Saturday nights while everyone else is out having a good time is to make a killing.
We risk our lives out here every night driving amongst a bunch of drunks and Vin Diesel wannabees. The majority of drivers don't even have health insurance. They are one accident away from bankruptcy. All we ask is give us our fair share for the risks we take and the sacrifices we make.
Uber is lucky Las Vegas is a tipping and kickback town. It's the only reason they are getting away with what they are getting away with.
I have an 11 month old. We both work Saturdays usually And before that she was pregnant of course so we really haven't had many Saturday nights in the last few years. Our "Saturday nights" are usually during the week on a Tuesday Wednesday or Thursday
My wife has culinary so no problem with insurance. We still get surges. I made $305 last night so I am satisfied. Not every weekend is busy like this but there are enough to make it worth it. Plus tips and KB potential make it viable still for some people.

True. But that’s the beauty of the gig economy. You can choose to work when you want. In this town Saturday’s are usually the busiest and highest earning days. But it’s not like an employer. We choose our schedule.
I don't drive nights. Only only during certain times if i have to and i'm very picky who i pickup.
I leave all the traffic, drunks, pukes, alcohol and cologne/ perfume smell to you night drivers.
Yes ofcourse i will miss out the unicorn rides like stripclubs or massage parlor rides.
I'm happy driving business people and sobers during the day.
What you fail to realize is that if Uber or lift does not make money none of us will have this job. It's their technology, not mine, I don't care what they make off the ride. I collect my share and I go about my day
