And this is why I refuse to drive full time. How are we making money like this?
The base pay in my area is $2 and has been since I started 9yrd ago. I quit, this is madness! I lost about $45 today doing this. Between gas being over $4/gal, all the ridiculous taxes in my city and state for my car, the insurance and time, this isn’t working. I used to love driving in this area, but the last few times, this was how it was. It’s a big college area, 5 in this 5mi city. No tips, no compliments, no ratings. I won’t go back. I also refuse to drive out there between 9pm and 9am because the amount of puking, messes and attitude is not worth it. I’m literally trying to make the gas money I need to keep my day job which requires a ton of travel (over 100mi/day on average, but sometimes as much as 200mi/day). I think the people at Lyft need a PET scan to make sure their brain is working properly.
