I'm strictly doing select. I don't care if I only get 1 or 2 job pings a day. I don't wanna really work that much anyways. and I only really work nights as well.

yesterday, I'm sitting in the crib, and get a ping for like 2 blocks from the crib. pick up two folks who were kinda drunk, but they were steelworkers they said. a man and a woman. drove them like 25 miles from my crib to the suburbs. I'm not trippin cuz it's night time with no traffic so that takes less than 30 minutes since it's all expressway. that ride paid me $50 and then they gave me $12 cash.

if I'm getting 1 $20-$30 job a day, that's all I really need to do. I'd like to make a quick $300 to pay for these plane tickets I just bought yesterday ideally.

on top of the $60 I made yesterday, I get to write off more than $25 of it in mileage, so basically that's all profit for me.

Time to hit that insurance lick (for legal purposes I'm not telling you to burn the car or to give your keys to a crack head)

Money should good right now though. Daylight savings through September is the gravy train.

I would be too if I was doing it all the time. but if I can get a little $20-$30 a day with barely working for an hour, I'm good.

Ive been doing it on the side for almost two years. I started doing for some extra cash to blow but it became a necessity when I kicked my ex out. Really I only put in 15 hours a week max and average about $200-$250 a week. Its still a cool hustle its just tedious at this point

THAT'S WHAT I GOT THIS WEEK. NOTHING TO BRAG ABOUT BUT IT IS A NORMAL AVERAGE WEEK OF ME DOING THIS PART TIME. YOU CAN MAKE 1200 A WEEK FOR SURE IF YOU KNOW WHEN TO DRIVE.

well I'm already sitting in the crib doing my regular job. I got hit for a select ride a little while ago and the pickup is a few blocks away. so for like 25 minutes of work, it's an easy $15. if I get one more job, then I will hit my $30 goal for the day basically.

$150-$200 a week would work just fine for me. so far, I haven't had to drive in traffic or really downtown either.

btw, I had the app turned on for like 3 hours before I got a ping which is fine since I'm already working my normal job at the same time.

haven't been driving as much lately cause I started school. but I still like the shyt. if I work Friday and Saturday. get out there from 7pm to 3 am. I can make 300 for both days combined easy. and thats taking breaks too. if i work all week, I can expect 500. you just gotta know the spots to hit. I know the prime time hours for most areas around me now. prime time is where you're gonna make your money.

also, know which towns have cheap drinks throughout the week. like a city next to me has 2 dollar Tuesday's at all their bars. so that's a good spot to hit. also, West LA is great on Tuesday's too. all the UCLA students hit the bars on Tuesday's. be up on concerts and events near you. train schedules. a lot of people leaving train stations take long rides. so it's a good spot to wait. it's not my favorite thing meeting new people and having to talk to em. but it's still way better than working warehouse and coming home tired and sore as fukk.

I use an 06 Acura to


sometimes it's awkward. I'm a low key dude so it's different for me having to talk to strangers all the time. I'll ask em what music they like cause I got spotify. then a convo might happen. sometimes it seems like they just want a quiet ride so I just play music and ride. but then sometimes I get flags for not being friendly:hhh:........some of these people expect you to give em rides and entertain them too. smh. ima just go off their vibe. if they're cool and talkative, I'll talk. if they're quiet, ima be the same. I'm at a 4.8 right now though so I'm good.


and the ho's are comedy. some are annoying. like the drunk college chics. pick em up in groups and you realize how dumb this new generation is. but I smashed one that I met my first week. don't get at em like that though. if they flirt, I play it cool. I went out to LA the other day and had this BAD bytch jockin me hard as fukk. when i dropped her off she said if she's lucky she'll see me again. but she lives in LA. over an hour away. so I just laughed and said yea maybe. but looking back I was wondering if I could've smashed that same night.:lupe:



I always have chics touching me or saying they feel comfortable with me. other times you have scary chics who just sit in the back quiet as fukk. so I just play music and drop em off. if you're clean cut and handsome(no homo), you gonna eat. just think about it. this shyt might be the best way to pull ho's. at the bar you're competing with a bunch of different guys plus her friends. your chances go way down....especially if you're the chill type. but you pick up a chic from the bar. she's tipsy....you getting her one on one. if you make her feel comfortable, it's easy work. as long as you don't come off like a thirsty ass dude, you should be good. I play it cool always. I let them take it to the next level if it goes there.

Really, you just have to look out for what times are hotspots in your city/town. I drove most of yesterday since there was a bar crawl in the city, and made about $300 in about 9 hours.

Its all about timing and being where the people are. Any more questions, Im happy to answer
