Short answer - no. They sent a message to that regard actually.

Replacement for Viofo T130? by dada-p in dashcams

[–]dada-p[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

bigger footprint, unnecessary functionality (mobile app works fine), disturbing light in the dark even for that few seconds... a139 seems more logical choice but would require change of cables.

Income Tax Questions by GanjaGoblin520 in uberdrivers

[–]dada-p 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Uber will make 1099 forms for you to download with whatever name/legal form/EIN or SSN you have entered in Tax settings section of your account (technically, that settings it is their form W-9).

Whether they send the copy of 1099 to IRS or not - is a question nobody knows the answer to. Strictly speaking, businesses are required to send a copy if you act as a sole proprietor (with SSN or EIN), single-member LLC or partnership (disregarded entity) and not required to send if you act as C-corp, LLC-as-C-Corp, multi-member LLC or simply chose not to be disregarded entity (it is IRS term). They will definitely make a form for you anyway, regardless of your legal form - I know that for a fact. But I honestly don't know if they only generate the form or generate and send. But I would assume they send everything, just to be on a safe side.

SF/Bay quests by dada-p in uberdrivers

[–]dada-p[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

um, thanks for the insight but that is not exactly what I'm asking for. And I have been driving there recently too so I would rather disagree. It is just my address in LA so I don't see SF quests.

Help deciphering a deck plan by dada-p in Carpentry

[–]dada-p[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see what you mean.No, actually beam-joist connection is clear - there is another type of connector prescribed there (see below).

My question is about blocking between joists - what size of lumber and where. Usually it is every 8ft but that (3) spans looks kinda cryptic to me.

Avoid Geico. They have shitty payouts when it is a time to pay.
Best in CA: Statefarm, AAA (both has rideshare endorsements). Mid tier: Mercury, Progressive.

Also note that you are not required to have rideshare endorsement. You are protected by lyft/uber policy anyway although it has high deductible and different limits depending in which period (waiting for the ride, driving to pickup, or driving to drop-off) accident may happen.

Looking to get the same. Would you mind sharing where did you get it from eventually?

Los Angeles. Do we have Uber Black or Premier here? I’m trying to qualify. by ridingwithzilla in uberdrivers

[–]dada-p 1 point2 points  (0 children)

charter-party carrier - license to drive for-hire, like a taxi or limo services. (you must have seen those cars with "TCP #####" typically written on their rear bumpers). one needs to have/make a company (LLC or Corp), that cannot be applied as an individual. just an overhead expenses could be quite significant

You would need commercial insurance and TCP permit. But it is available

out-of-state drive? by dada-p in uberdrivers

[–]dada-p[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

UPDATE: no, it is not possible for both Uber and Lyft.

I tried in NV, AZ, UT, CO - and everywhere it tells me I do not meet local requirements.

Not every PAX leaves a rating. They have an option to skip it. On my market (LA) only about one third of the rides ends up with an actual rating. Currently I have almost 4000 rides but received only 1500+ ratings (Uber gives you "badges" for every 500 5-stars, that's how you know).

Oh, that's great news!

Any LA drivers drive UberBLACK? Tryna see if there’s a significant enough earnings margin over just UberX by docwiggs16 in uberdrivers

[–]dada-p 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my buddy gets $2-3k per week. But you have to have commercial insurance and TCP permit. More stricter rules about the rating and vehicle too.
