LYFT IS MY SECOND JOB. MY MAIN GIG DOESN'T REQUIRE MY PRESENCE VERY OFTEN. BUT I'M ON CALL 24HRS/4 DAYS A WEEK. I GET PAID WHILE ON CALL AND THE RATE TRIPLES WHEN I ACTUALLY HAVE TO DO WORK.

WHEN THERE IS NO WORK I DO LYFT. IF YOU STRUGGLING WITH LYFT/UBER, MAYBE I CAN HELP YOU OUT.

I can do 600 in a weekend easily

The most I did over 5 days was 1100

How does grub hub work :leon: I love side money lol... You get an alert like ubereats?

Yea it’s like ubereats with the alert. But with grubhub the show u how much money you’re gonna make with the order before you accept.

And wit grubhub customers tip before they pay. I believe with ubereats(ain’t done it in like a year) they only have the option to tip after u deliver the food.

THAT'S GOOD BREH. I WAS WONDERING WHAT THE GRUBHUB GUYS WAS MAKING. HOW MANY HOURS AND HOW MANY MILES DO YOU AVERAGE PER WEEK?

That was like 50 hours it’s weird with food cuz u might not get orders for like 30 minutes. Ion track delivery miles cuz I ain’t never did that tax shyt and unlike Uber u can’t go back and see ur previous daily earnings and miles.. they send u and email abou it daily but ion feel like adding em all up

Breh, will they let you put rebuilt title cars on there? If so imma be rich :damn:

Don’t think so for Turo, but HyreCar will accept it for folks who do food delivery tho, they just won’t do it for regular Uber/Lyft. As long as the car can pass inspection for Uber Eats/ Postmates in your city you should be good.

SOMETHING I NOTICED ABOUT PEOPLE SAYING THAT YOU'RE ONLY MAKING PENNIES AFTER EXPENSES.

THE COST OF YOUR CAR DOES NOT FACTOR INTO YOUR GROSS AS A DRIVER. YOUR CAR DOES NOT BELONG TO YOU. IT SHOULD BELONG TO YOUR COMPANY.

IF YOU MAKE $15/HR IN A FACTORY, DO YOU SUBTRACT YOUR CAR NOTE FROM YOUR GROSS PAY WHEN YOU TELL PEOPLE HOW MUCH YOU MAKE? NO

WHATEVER YOU MAKE AFTER EXPENSES IS YOUR PAY. PERSONAL USE OF THE CAR IS A PART OF YOUR COMPENSATION PACKAGE. THE CAR IS IN THE NAME OF THE BUSINESS WHERE THE EXPENSES CAN BE DEDUCTED. THIS PUTS YOUR PERSONAL GROSS INCOME YOU TAKE HOME IN A MUCH LOWER TAX BRACKET.

GRANTED, I THINK FINANCING A CAR FOR LYFT IS KIND OF SILLY. IF YOU DO THOUGH, PLAY THE GAME CORRECTLY.

Californ-i-a by way of BK
Knew a business owner with like 12 employees who was easily seein 6 plus figures a year in his business. He still gets up early every morning and says he makes an easy $150 before he even goes into the office to start his work day. Doing Uber/Lyft.

Made me look at peoples hustles and level of contentment different. I know folks making 60 k so settled and happy and this dude making at least three times that and still shuttling people around to make a persons daily wage before he even starts his work day.
Ehhh I see what you're saying but making every possible dollar isn't everyone's goal. Your friends mentality may be to get as much money as possible. Another person may cherish their extra time and freedom (That we're rarely allotted as grown ups) of their hours away from work. Neither is right or wrong. It's just based off what you care more about.

I wouldn't use his want to go out and make extra cash as a referendum on other people.

ALL CARS IN THE TRANSPORTATION BUSINESS ARE DEPRECIATING. THE DIFFERENCE IS THE BUSINESS STRUCTURE. PEOPLE ARE LOOKING AT THE SETUP FROM AN EMPLOYEE'S PERSPECTIVE.

FROM DRIVING ALONE YOU CAN HIT ABOUT 60-70K A YEAR WHILE PUTTING ABOUT 50K MILES A YEAR ON THE VEHICLE. THAT MEANS THAT YOU NEED TO UNLOAD THAT CAR IN 3-4 YEARS MAX. LET'S SAY 4 YEARS. BUY A $40K CAR AND PAY IT OFF IN 4 YEARS. THAT WILL GET YOU A BASE LEVEL EXPLORER OR SOMETHING. YOU'LL KNOCK 10K A YEAR OFF IN PAYMENTS TO PAY IT ON TIME. THAT LEAVES YOU WITH 50K A YEAR GROSS AND A NEW MID SIZE SUV EVERY 4 YEARS.

MY JOB A FORD DIDN'T PAY ALOT BUT ONE OF THE BENEFITS WAS I GOT ACCESS TO A COMPANY CAR WITH FREE FUEL. AFTER DOING THE NUMBERS IT ADDED ABOUT 5-10 DOLLARS AN HOUR TO MY PAY. YOU HAVE TO DO THE SAME THING WITH THE LYFT SCENARIO. IF YOU PUT THE COST OF THE CAR ON AFTER PAYING YOURSELF, YOU'RE LOSING THE ADVANTAGE OF BEING A BUSINESS OWNER.

I am about to do Grubhub/Door Dash/UberEats on the side. I did regular Uber and Lyft for a while and I am tired of having strangers in my car. Have you ever worked for any delivery companies? How hard would ut be to gross 1000 a month. Thats all I need to pay off a few things.
