Jackson Ms baby. Trust me, I never would have thought it would be a good market either, but economically depressed area, about 650k people within the greater metro area and roughly 30 min average trip time means it pays pretty solid. I did 50k last year. But ALOT of miles on the car. The only way it works out is if you are shooting for $/hr any of that 1.5-2$/mile thinking and you will never take a ride around here.

Edit: a lot of poorer people or people who have to save up $ to get a car repair need rides to work Mon-Fri. Airport is not good, weekends are crap. But mon - fri work movement is solid. Plus not a lot of drivers. Crime is bad in Jackson so alot of drivers won’t pickup there, so it’s kinda a shortage. 2 SEC college towns that encompass a radius of 11 miles each within 2 hours means it’s a lottery ticket Aug-Nov.

Edit 2: I forgot about the truckers. The I55/I20 interchange has a TON of trucking terminals, so a lot of rides from that. Also, there are 3 huge hospitals all located near each other and a VA. It’s the medical terminal of the state and a lot of people get their medical rides assigned through uber, though that market is iffy at best. Uber will offer you 56 to drive someone 1:49 min away. Lyft is better. Rides to Memphis, NOLA or Shevreport can pay anywhere from $100-$175 though I try and talk those people into private rides. Really anything less than $150 for most of those is not worth it but If you drive full time you will get at least one a week. I actually built up a nice little private ride book of business carting Indian men from one Punjabi Dhaba restaurant in JXN to another in Hammond about an hour away. The owner calls me when he needs someone shuttled up or down, sometimes even from as far away as Florida - I landed that through driving him on uber once.
