Re: Anyone here ever drive for Uber or Lyft?
Without having explicitly asked or checked, I really have to imagine that's frowned upon, based on the totally frictionless system in general and the fact that tips have been integrated into the app.

I'm too neurotic about my car to even think about letting strangers in... You all would know my true identity one day.

Wifey wanted me home so I didn't start today. That'll give me some time to familiarize myself with the app.

Just gave it a quick try today. I was online 2 hours and 10 minutes and gave 3 rides. I drove about 60 miles, 45 while online which are deductible. After the Uber commission of $18.23, I made $50.36. After deductions, I'll have to pay taxes on about $15.

Let me ask you a personal question: are you packing while you drive? |

Negative, but I've done much more dangerous work to do with driving and I know all the neighborhoods.

Did Uber provide any info on packing while driving? Is it a situation where, if concealed carry in legal in your state, and you have a permit, then it's okay? Or, do they not even mention it?

Seriously though, Cricket, you be safe out there.

Re: Anyone here ever drive for Uber or Lyft?
There was a news story a couple days ago about an Uber driver who shot his passenger claiming self defense - the passenger was killed and I thought I'd heard in the initial report that a knife (allegedly used by the passenger) was found in the car (although I'm not seeing that in any subsequent reports).
I'm just posting this because an earlier question I had was answered on the news - they read an Uber statement saying that Uber has a policy that their drivers cannot carry a firearm while driving for Uber (I'm assuming that means even if they have a permit and it is legal in their state). https://www.cnn.com/2018/06/01/us/ub...ver/index.html |

Out of curiosity, has it been worth it? |

I haven't driven again since those first two times because I've been busy and haven't had to. I will again, and it seems like it'll be very worth it if I put in a longer day.
