    Good luck in your new job. You were always a voice of reason here and I enjoyed your posts.

    And don't forget what George Carlin said about divorces..."The reason a divorce is so expensive is because they're worth it!"

    Sign off on the other app the instant you get a ride. I used to run both and by straight up signing off you won’t get dinged with a refusal.

    I was wondering about that: is the refusal rate just another stat, or does it work against you?

    i think you can make more, a lot MORE $$$, mowing lawns........... just sayin'

    And yes, i've done ridesharing and can post my settlement sheets if there's time. It worked out to about $13-$14hr after expenses.

    So, what i'm trying to say is i don't think this is really a great move. Not a horrible move, but not a good move either. i'm sure there are SOME local DAYTIME jobs around? Even driving a dumptruck would be better than rideshare.......
     
    JReding Thanks this.

    P.S.
    i'm not asleep right now cos i'm on vacation. And you've just quit, so it's ok too. Although if you're on the west coast, then you REALLY should have been asleep at 11am yesterday............

    I slept for a couple hours, which is the best I've been able to do lately. I slept a solid 8 hours last night, starting around 10 pm.
