all these UBER drivers are crying ??? no one is forcing them to drive so why don't they QUIT and get a real job.
???
She is most likely driving with invalid insurance If her insurance company knows she drives for Uber they will cancel her), and she probably doesn't realize that, if she drives full time, her car will be completely worn out in two years.
I'm just wondering what will happen for all this people if UBER or LYFT dissent exist? i think travis deserve a Congress has to declare an UBER day once a year for national holiday
I make only $35/hr, and I have a degree. 🙁
Walmart, Uber, etc. those CEOs are evil people. They are the root of why people in this world are suffering. It is a crying shaming no one is taking them out.
In all car services, in all states,unless drivers are paid decent, you will always find drivers who sleep in their car to make ends meet. And that's just the way it is.
That's STUPID I would NEVER sleep in my car for UBER that's going too far and it's not even worth the money
It's so hard to make money driving Uber here. Car costs $100k and gas costs 3 times more because of tax. Plus i live in a small country that is only 40km wide.
SHE MUST HAVE MONEY TO AFFORD A HYBRID CAR.
Oh, and here I am worse off than her and I dont get no pity party. Fucking need to get boobs it seems for anyone to respect me….
Let me preface my comments by saying I have an actual real job. That said, I thought I would try UBER as a hobby for a couple months just to see what it was all about. I have a nice late model Explorer so I could do XL rides. Bottom line after 6 weeks and 300 rides and 4.97 rating a had a net income of $12. UBER is a complete waste of time.
If she were a man driving a truck, would you guys put on this heartfelt BS? No. This is a woman making a good living in the free market. Good on her.
i find the title misleading – they try to make her seem like a victim, but she is anything but! She's an enterprising businesswoman who has found a way to carve out a lucrative income. Earlier this week, there was a story of a Twitter employee who earned $160,000/yr but was having a hard time financially because he lived in the Bay Area. This woman is smart enough to live in an affordable area, yet make big bucks doing what she enjoys.
She's not homeless, she's not unemployed, she's not underemployed and she sure as hell is not a victim. She's a businesswoman who's providing for her family and she should be commended not pitied.
What a lovely lady! I wish you all the best dear!

Where are the SO-CALLED LIBERALS to defend & protect the U.S. workers ?!?! BOO !!Time to start putting a CAP on the number of for-hire Uber et al vehicles !! DAMN !!
$ Fitty an hour minimum??? wow! Thsts a blue collar millionaire. Is that gross or net after Uber cut?
that self employment tax is a mfer. she is going to owe unless she makes quarterly payments. it's not as good as they think it is to be a Uber or Lyft driver smh
Actually that's dangerous. These drivers are sleep deprived. If an accident happened–they will need laws like they do with truck drivers!
