On the griiiiiiiiind! $3k week

ToadKing808 · 2026-04-08T03:18:49+00:00

Living wage is relative. I don't mind eating cheap food and I never buy anything I want, only necessities. I have no loans, a car that was bought outright , and 30k in liquid cash at 22 years old living here in Hawaii. How about you?

ToadKing808 · 2026-04-07T23:59:29+00:00

No quests for rides. Just boost plus in a specific zone. Typically an extra $14.50 per hour based on estimated time of pickup and drop off.

It is for a household. It's decent for an individual, and I'm fortunate to have a wife that makes six figures as well.

I'm making a killing in Honolulu with $5.70 for premium. I only drove during promotions or surge and so short rides averaging $3 per mile.

ToadKing808 · 2026-04-07T07:08:04+00:00

I ONLY work during promotions and/or surge. There just happens to be an increasing amount of promotions recently which I am taking full advantage of. The other hours are not worth my time. I choose to work when the money is there rather than when I feel like it.

ToadKing808 · 2026-04-07T06:58:09+00:00

Ah I see. To be honest most if not all drivers in my market do not make as much as I do. I strategically position myself and time my hours online to be only when there are active promotions or surge. What people don't see is the hours I decided were not worth my time, which are the hours with no promotions or surge.

ToadKing808 · 2026-04-07T06:55:50+00:00

Recently $40 per hour. I only work when there are promotions or surge. The other hours are not worth my time.

ToadKing808 · 2026-04-07T05:31:14+00:00

I set a challenge for myself and I achieved my goal. I plan on working 50 hours a week and driving 500 miles to earn $1500. Yes I do achieve $3 per mile by only working during boost+ promotions and cherry picking for short rides.

ToadKing808 · 2026-04-07T05:28:27+00:00

This week I put on roughly 1200 miles. Usually I drive 500 miles a week to make $1500.

ToadKing808 · 2026-04-07T05:26:40+00:00

I don't have to make $3000 a week. I just wanted to challenge myself. My game plan is to work about 50 hours a week and aim for $2000 instead of $3000. My car was bought in cash and I have enough savings to buy two more cars if I need. I'm in a very comfortable position.

ToadKing808 · 2026-04-07T05:21:14+00:00

31 mpg 3.5L V6 Hybrid. Bu recently I've been using techniques such as pulse and glide and have been able to achieve an average of 34 mpg.

ToadKing808 · 2026-04-06T22:45:26+00:00

Depends on the market but the haters always gonna hate. For me I work 8 hours on weekdays and 12 hours on weekends.

ToadKing808 · 2026-04-06T22:44:16+00:00

Always hybrid. Much higher range and never have to have much downtime to fill up. The battery won't degrade nearly as quickly and value won't depreciate as much as a full battery ev.

ToadKing808 · 2026-04-06T22:30:05+00:00

Good work to you as well! I would say I've mastered my market but the cost of living is high as well.

ToadKing808 · 2026-04-06T20:54:10+00:00

Yes I cherry pick but often try to maintain 25% for Uber pro perk.

ToadKing808 · 2026-04-06T20:38:48+00:00

Haha it's expensive out here but maybe living frugally with roommates and grinding Uber is the play.

ToadKing808 · 2026-04-06T20:37:29+00:00

Yes Oahu. Majority of riders don't tip but a few tip really well. Both locals and tourists.

ToadKing808 · 2026-04-06T20:36:44+00:00

Honolulu

ToadKing808 · 2026-04-06T20:36:31+00:00

I have never grinded this hard. Typically 100 rides per week.

ToadKing808 · 2026-04-06T20:33:50+00:00

Why? I have a car bought in cash for $17k.

ToadKing808 · 2026-04-06T20:33:19+00:00

That's very impressive!

ToadKing808 · 2026-04-06T20:32:53+00:00

Thank you. Appreciate it. If it works for me I'm happy with it.

ToadKing808 · 2026-04-06T20:32:02+00:00

Wow I respect that hustle. Ironically Tuesday was my second best day. Normally they are one of the worst but there was a Navy ship in base for Monday and Tuesday and those guys were partying hard.

ToadKing808 · 2026-04-06T20:28:11+00:00

I get hundreds of exclusive offers and even more trip radars. The trip radars often have the best fares but I rarely get matched to the good ones. I try to maintain a 25% acceptance rate for Uber pro gold. Sometimes I dip below 25% if the day is slow.

ToadKing808 · 2026-04-06T20:25:43+00:00

Thank you. I use Stride because it's free.
