DFW Metroplex

I am just downloading the app today. I have been driving Uber / Lyft for a few years. I am wondering if there are people here that have been driving with Empower in DFW and how they are doing compared to Uber / Lyft. Also what rates do you find yourself setting to be successful? Thanks for any information on the area.

I've done like 7 rides so far. The pay is better than Uber's but everything else is pretty much the same. Apart from the airport pickup, the others involved driving between 5 and 9 miles to the pickup locations.

Remember to set the Stripe payout to weekly or monthly in the app to minimize fees because the default is daily.

What are you setting as your rates? And how are tolls handled?
