My pick up truck broke down this afternoon and I caught a ride using Uber for the first time from the shop. It was painless and efficient. I am wondering if anyone does a little moonlighting on Uber on home time. I know to be totally legal you would need to log those hours.
I have a cousin in Charlotte who drives for Uber who said he made $200 in less than 8 hours shuttling Eagles fans around town when the Panthers played the Eagles a few weeks ago. Thinking about working some graveyard shifts taking drunks home after the bars close. We also have Wake Forest Univewrsity here in town to drum up business. Maybe I will get a car full of drunk sorority chicks.

I know of a 777 pilot who does Uber during his time off just as a way to socialize, but he does alright also. I wouldn't mind doing it, but hate the thought of people leaving scuff marks inside my vehicle! Let us know how it goes.
MachoCyclone and HorseShoe Thank this. -
Is that a sign on bonus? Idk, something seems a bit off to me. -
I've not used it yet, but calling a number for a taxi was never a pain nor was it hard. Everyone says Uber is so easy! Yeah, so is calling the 1-800 taxi number and telling them your location.
Anyway, (hey, you know I can't post withiut a rant) It would be great if you have a nice, easy to clean car/suv. I couldn't do it..Someone would leave their trash in my car/suv and review me as the ###hole when l tell them to be a responsible adulttruckon Thanks this. -

Absolutely love to use Uber! They are quick easy, always around. The people own their newer cars and they have always been clean. The drivers have always been sociable and clean smelling/looking. App usually says that I can have an Uber in 10 minutes, but it's usually about 5.
The cost is considerably less also. A cab from the club to my house is $20. An uber is $10. -
On another note, not sure that I want to be driving on my time off! Sounds like a lot of excess wear and tear on my car.
