The convenience and also the networking. Meeting different people from all over the world.

I used to only do Lyft but I started driving for Uber too this past month. This way I can get the best of both worlds. I do like Uber's app a little more tho. Anyone else drive for both?

I had a busy weekend! There was a HUGE wedding in town and I guess there was quite literally NO place to park your car at the place they had the wedding so the guests had to get rides to and from the hotel to the wedding. I have driven for Lyft for a while and never seen such a busy time. Luckily all the guests were pretty awesome.

When my girl told me she was pregnant I had just lost my job. I needed something fast so I started driving for Lyft and it's been good. It's so easy and the money is there. I work 9-7 and stop for breaks. I don't work the later times because I don't like the drama that comes with it, but the days I do pretty well.

This just happened to me.. I went out this past weekend to meet up with some friends. I was out for a couple hours and when I got home I realized I didn’t have my keys!! After a brief panic I realized that the bar and restaurant didn’t have them, they weren’t in my door or anywhere around.. I ended up trying to the lost item option in the app to call my driver and luckily he had them!! An hour later he was able to stop by and drop them off. It’s a good thing too, I had a graduation to go to in the morning! I thanked him profusely and made sure he got a good tip for going above and beyond.

I enjoy driving for Lyft and so far (knock on wood) no issues to date, but I know many women are too scared to even consider doing it. Here are some ways to keep yourself safe. I follow a lot of these myself, especially numbers 5 and 7! https://hyrecar.com/blog/uber-lyft-female-drivers-safety/ Remember the world can be a scary place, but work doesn't have to be!!!

When lyft first introduced personal power zones in my city I was skeptical and even considered stopping cause I just wasn’t sure about the change. I was already deep into doing prime time and I had my whole daily circuit mapped out but I figured I’d try it and see how it impacted my earnings. At first it just felt like a lot of waiting around. But now I’ve been doing it for a while and the bonuses def add up. Add that to the reduced cost of gas now that I’m not constantly trying to go here or there on the heat map all the time and I now prefer the PPZ! I’m so glad I didn’t quit driving just because of the change. I much prefer driving to any job I’ve had before and I’d hate to go back to a “normal” job after the freedom of driving.

I conversated with my customers en route to there destination point and safely delivered them in a timely manner.

Adjusting to different client atmosphere.

Yep, the more I talk to people between the ages of 45 and 62, the more I realize if you have been laid off you are screwed, pardon my french. The real ass kicker for me came this week when I found out a major corporation hired a 2018 college grad with virtually no experience over me with my 30 years in our business. Not sure what to do but I refuse to drive for uber and lyft at this stage of the game. Are you in the above mentioned age group and having trouble? I know at least 10 people in our boat. Curious who else is out there.
