    Last summer I took a month off from fishing and Drove Uber/Lyft here in Juneau, Alaska in July. I was shocked how much money I made. I was making 300-400 a day driving with both apps usually 12-15 hours.

    Why would anyone drive a truck if they could pull down $3-400 a day driving a car?. It baffles me.

    No HOS, no DOT, no truck stop living, and so on and so on.

    Uber/Lyft isnt a real job thats why its just for extra income and kinda fun sometimes. I did it for tourists and met a lot of cool people but OTR driving is a career if you want and always an adventure. That’s what I like about it is you never know where you’ll be the next day and the open road is good therapy for me lol

    I do this for the money. If there is a way to get paid more, working less I'm all for it.

    Everything Ive read suggests that rideshare doesn't pay enough in my area so OTR it is.
