Not a good gig for rural hustlers, but…

+

I have had many driving jobs, from Dominos back in their hay day, to a “way before it’s time” delivery from any restaurant service (in the late 80s). But Uber was the most interesting

I definitely didn’t roll in the cash from Uber, and with taxes and late-night Tacos from Burger King I probably lost money. Didn’t help that started each session from a rural location and sometimes had to drive 20 miles for my first fare. The “Investment to Date” stat, includes the approx .52 cents a mile the IRS said my Jeep Cherokee suffered in repairs, gas and puke (only once).

  • Miles Driven – 4076ish
  • Trips – 308
  • Estimated Income after Expenses and Tax – $875
  • Estimate of Hours – 200
  • Estimate of ROH (Return on hour) – Priceless and $4.38 an hour
  • Part time over about a year that ended with COVID shutdown

I did meet a wide swath of the American populace while driving and the budding writer in me locked up dozens of characters and situations into the Muse Vault.

I may clean up the ol’ Jeep and head out someday again for fun, but not for profit.
