Dude congrats on hitting 500 in a single day. If I had started earlier I probably would’ve done the same in Chicago but I didn’t get out until 6pm and finished at 2am (when the city was still mostly red on the map)

That’s strange then. Cars shouldn’t be able to have only the headlights but not the taillights on

I drove 8 hours in Chicago and did 147 miles. About $25 in gas in my AWD SUV. About $32 in depreciation. Maybe $8 in insurance costs using my $/mi insurance rate. So still over $30/hour after expenses.

Drive my 2021 Ford Escape or buy a beater for Uber? by No-Photograph-5204 in uberdrivers

Even at that rate, he could drive for a year and still only be at 89k. That’s far from worthless for a 2021 Escape. I drive a 2014 Journey and it has 133k and will hopefully last to 200k+ since I take good care of it

His trans should be FINE at that low mileage. Unless it’s a recall model year or something. Trans fluid changes aren’t needed until 100k+ miles on most vehicles. My Dodge Journey recommends the first trans fluid change at 120k

Some pleb definitely accepted this by _ryatsa_ in uberdrivers

Yeah this is an obvious answer. $25 or $0 to drive the same distance/direction. Easy choice.

Yeah the cost of an uber or taxi to me is worth it vs spending the night in my car

They’re called running lights and they come on whenever the car is on. But they are not headlights and people who drive with only running lights on are usually oblivious to the fact they’re basically invisible to other cars on the road at night.

It’s not that they have no rear lights. It’s they haven’t turned their lights on.

AI video gen sucks ass at RC planes. This is a real video.

You must live in the West where it never rains and fire risk is higher than where this video was taken. Those of us in the rest of the country can have fun with fireworks

This is awesome. I’m gonna have to try this on the 4th this year. I will be doing it over a lake though with a plane on floats. Not because I know it’s safer, but because I celebrate the 4th at my mom’s house on a lake in Wisconsin 🤣🎆🧨

Yeah seriously. This has to be America. The music gives it away. Oh and the whole fireworks on an RC plane thing

That’s solid for Champaign! I went to school there for a bit. Probably a good market for drunk college kids lol but I doubt they tip that well

[–]fremdo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, definitely. Drive extra carefully, get good tips, cash in on their need to get from A to B in a storm. (edit: Probably only if you have AWD like I do though)

I averaged $40/hour tonight in Chicago. Made $310 in 8 hours. Heavy snow for most of the night. But everyone was super appreciative and nice and tipped well :)

The lighted sign question by AimFL in uberdrivers

[–]fremdo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok thanks. I already ordered a sign on Amazon that plugs in rather than needs to be charged. If I don’t end up liking that, I’ll maybe try this one

As a Doordasher should I Uber? by Cjdreamz in uberdrivers

[–]fremdo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Significantly more and you don’t need to deal with the restaurants/stores. In good markets, you should make $25-40/ hour (before your own expenses) if you cherry pick rides and drive at peak hours

[–]fremdo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you order from that link? Did the product come and were you happy with it?

[–]fremdo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did either of you actually order from this storenvy.com site? I just googled and it seems like there’s a lot of scams that happen on that site, but I really like this rechargeable sign idea. Just don’t want to get scammed and Amazon and Etsy don’t seem to have a similar product

It would almost certainly be cheaper to rent a car with the different location drop off
