MIT Study Shows Uber and Lyft drivers make about $3.37 per hour
According to the study, this is how much they make BEFORE taxes, taking into consideration operating expenses. The study also shows they have a very high turnover rate, with only 4% of drivers staying on after one year.
Looking for a job
Hello world my names Eddie and I am new to this website so I am trying to familiarize myself with it. I'm actually looking for a job/carrier in Orlando Florida which I am currently living, something within hospitality, construction, after school programs, tutoring or teaching. At this moment I am an English coach and a lyft driver. So if anyone can help me out that would be great! Thank you

I've been unemployed for 2 years. I've exhausted evey dime I've had saved. I wanted to open an Assisted Living Facility however that has not happened for me. I've also driven for UBER/Lyft and have spent more than I'm making. I've now been sending out my resume for about 3 or 4 months and not even one call. I know I've sent out about 140 resumes to date. I'm about to lose where I live and I'm really desperate for work that pays a living wage. I've tried a few temp agencies and nothing. I'm a positive person and believe things will turn about however being in this situation is unnerving, and stressful. Any help will be appreciated.

What I loved working at #Lyft
Flexibility
You never know until you try!
A sliding glass door parts at the airport with a squeak as we step outside into the fresh, Colorado air. The mountains in the distance are swirled with a slight white haze, and it feels as if we have walked into a dream, and for one lucky person their dream is about to become reality.
Mohamed is the winner of the #My2017Drives. We received many entries from Lyft drivers here on Jobcase sharing their stories about their most memorable rides, but Mohamed’s undeniably stood out.
He wrote about a rider he picked up from the airport. This man had lost all his luggage on his flight and was due shortly to meet his CEO and his team for the very first time in jeans and a t-shirt. So Mohamed sprang into action and took him to the nearest store where he went in and helped him pick out shirts and eased his worries. Mohamed even went so far as to give his rider his cologne, because smelling like airplane is never a great way to start off meeting your future boss ; )
He told us, “I was just trying to help someone. I am a normal guy helping another normal guy. That’s what we are supposed to do. What we all should do. It’s what Jobcase does.”
Help, of course, found its way to Mohamed himself when he needed it the most. He had experienced some loss as of late in his family and had some difficult times. The car was a blessing for them and one that certainly did not go unnoticed.
As we drove into Denver and he shared his story, tears filled his eyes and ours. I handed him some crinkled napkins from the back seat which I had saved just in case from an earlier trip to a coffee shop. He apologized profusely, but we both reassured him that he was alright. Winning the car had changed his life and each of us felt it deeply.
Mohamed’s warm smile and positive outlook on the world was wonderful to be around. We learned that in addition to driving for Lyft, Mohamed is in IT and also loves to fix his own car. He hopes one day to teach his children those skills and will be gifting his old car to his nephew when he’s old enough to drive.
He offered to bring us to the airport the next day or anywhere we needed. He even was so kind to invite us to experience a real African dinner at his home, but sadly we had to head back, but I know who to visit when I am in Colorado!
As we pulled up to the curb for one last photo he told us with tear-filled eyes, “I don’t want you guys to leave.” I smiled and said to go take his wife for a drive in their brand new car! He agreed, and as quickly as he had come into our lives, we watched him drive away until the tail lights of the Ford Fiesta and the distant glow of the orange Jobcase logo eventually faded away.
At the end of the day, Mohamed reminds me of why we get up and go to work at Jobcase, and do what we do. We work to help others just as Mohamed did and will always do. He did not need to go the extra mile, but he chose to. Each time you are kind to someone in the community or out in the world YOU make a difference even if you don’t believe it, you do!
A special thank you goes out to....
-Mohamed and his wife/family for letting us “steal” him for the day.
-To Mike, Chris, and Boris at Big Mike’s Naughton Ford dealership. They are such wonderful people and helped make this happen!
-To TNT signs for helping apply the decals for the car. Patient people and know their stuff!
-To Lyft for providing job opportunities for so many.
-To YOU our members here in the community for celebrating this win and reading this story. We appreciate you and we are here for you!
Lyft Challenge Winner is All Heart!
Last week Ashley and I had the opportunity to fly out to Aurora, CO and award our most recent Lyft Challenge Winner, Mohamed Ndioubnane, with a brand New Car!
I could tell Mohamed was still a little skeptical about the possibility of driving away in a new car when he arrived but all those thoughts immediately vanished when I put the car keys in his hands.
Congratulations Mohamed and a special Thanks to the Mike Naughton Ford sales team and the good folks at TNT Signs in Aurora, CO for their amazing service, collaboration and support towards making this Awesome event possible.
Feeling somewhat hopeful
I've been out of work since September. We've gone thru savings and 401k money. I've got an interview 40 miles from the house. I'm about to lose my 8 year old Corolla and will have to start driving my 23 year old Camaro. I've been doing lyft (like uber) and I'm at the lowest point in my life that I've ever been. I think I've got a great chance of actually getting this job. It pays half of what I was making but it's a job.
Is Lyft better than Uber for Drivers?
Hey Jobcasers - looking for some advice. I've been thinking of driving for Lyft or Uber on the side. Anyone have recommendations for which one is better for drivers?
