"This ride has two stops,'' the voice on the app said. He sat in the back and popped his headphones in, and I started the ride. Related: I'm a driver for Uber and Lyft - here are 10 things I wish I knew before starting the job
Why don't they have their own account? Were they barred from the app? Are they hiding something? What is the reason? I personally don't like it, because I don't know exactly who is getting in my car. This happens somewhat frequently, where someone will order a ride for someone else.
I verified who he was supposed to be riding with, and he indeed had the right information. "This can't be the right person," I thought. I got a Lyft ride request from a woman, but when I pulled up, she was nowhere to be seen - but there was a man waving at me with the Lyft app open on his phone.
I officially started working at 4:31 p.m. I was stuck at work late this day, and by the time I got home and was ready to drive it was already after 4 p.m. I drove just 37 miles.Īnd I was home in time for dinner and "Monday Night Football." I worked for one hour and 58 minutes, making $20.82 an hour. Two trips on Uber for $19.27 and three trips on Lyft for $21.68 gave me a grand total of $40.95. Monday nights are usually slow, and since I had already made more than usual, I called it a night at 5:36 p.m. It was a short trip, but he was very nice, made me laugh, and gave me a $5 tip and a five-star rating before he got out of the car. He said he was picking up his motorcycle that he left the night before at a bar, where he drank too much watching Sunday football games. The last trip came in: a guy I pick up at his house. But they were especially welcome today because traffic was very heavy and I wasn't covering many miles. I'm not complaining - I will always take tips. I usually get a few tips each day, but not every ride. A six-minute ride, and I had already made $7.98.įrom there, the rides came in nonstop, and so did the tips: a $1 tip here, a $3 cash tip there. I drove them less than two miles, dropped them off, and was pleasantly surprised on the app when they tipped me $5. It was a couple of guys coming back from working on a boat. I got home from work, walked the dog, grabbed a bottle of water, and hopped in the Prius at 3:38 p.m.īefore I even backed out of the driveway, I received a ride request on Lyft. My first day of the week was a short but absolutely great day.
