    If your lucky, scuff marks will be all they leave. Plan on the inside of your car getting trashed in a short period of time

    I drove for uber Lyft and side car and at times roadie.

    With both Lyft and uber they put me thru CDL school after I quit my full time job I was grossing 1500 in 3 to 4 days after fuel and such about 800 to 1000 a week net.

    People, if you can't make enough money driving a truck then go do uber. But please don't do both. Do a few hours at uber then try to drive a full shift on the truck and your going to be tired. We don't need that. Please do one or the other.
     
    TBonze, TheDudeAbides and Dave_in_AZ Thank this.

    If you are smart about it you can do both. I mean I realize smart truck driver is an oxymoron but I am of the belief the majority of people who post here have some common sense to not work an all night Uber shift then get right on the truck.

    None of us want to run over Tracy Morgan
