Saturday January 21st 2023

By January 21, 2023Food for thought

Today I completed 2 trips and made only a little over $60.00, which is horrible even for Uber driving.
I started on St. Pete Beach and took a call going to the airport like always. Then I accepted a request
to go from the airport to Pasco county. I completed that trip and I went offline like I always do
and headed back to St. Pete Beach and it was dead. small calls were coming through but nothing worthwhile.
I use TikTok to pass the time and it works great because I can view TikTok while staying online and each request
that comes through, I can still see. so 1 hour turned into 2 and then I drove to downtown St Petersburg (Like a 10-minute drive)
and I was there for over 20 minutes and not a single request came through, which is strange for a Saturday. So in addition to
the very low income that I already receive from Uber driving today was a horrible Saturday. It has been pretty obvious
that driving for Uber can’t be relied on for income purposes even though I have no pets, no kids, no girlfriend or wife (on purpose)
I do not drink alcohol, I do not smoke cigarettes, and I do not go out usually, I drive for Uber in Pinellas County and Come home to Manatee
County, ride the Peloton and that is pretty much it. Uber driving used to pay for itself but it is looking like it’s not even doing that now.
