    OK, before we split hairs. My problem would be with someone driving Uber all night (or day) then trying to put a full shift of driving a truck in. Trying to stay up for 24-48 hours is just begging for an incident. Now a guy/gal that has a few days of and uses a day or two of that to drive people around is fine. But jumping from one to the other? Not so fine.

    BTW I do log the 15 minutes it takes to drop my truck off at a shop as on duty. I rarely even come close to using my 70 so I have no reason to fudge my logs.

    I rank Uber in the same boat as Uship.

    A lot of people taking work away from drivers that have the credentials for this type of work!

    Uber is awesome for riders, but horrible for drivers,after all the expenses you barely make $10.

    It would be ideal for me if my car qualified. I don't have a car payment.

    Sounds like the O/O argument about not having a payment...
