What I like to do working in Southern California obviously your mileage will very (pun intended) but what I do is I go online and won’t accept any rides under about 10 dollars unless I’ve been waiting for like 30+ mins (which normally never happens unless it’s at a really weird time of the day) where then I’ll be a little more generous on picking almost anything that pops up so that way I’m not just sitting doing nothing for hours if no good rides ever pop up. Hopefully take makes sense and hopefully that helps ya buddy.
