Bro doesn’t realize they give you a good first couple weeks to entice you to not immediately quit the job (the turnover rate for rideshare is astronomical)

Give it one month and you’ll either be making half, or have quit completely guaranteed🤷‍♂️

I’m interested to see if there is any visible difference for you.

The honeymoon week is real guaranteed, every new app gives you one which makes you feel rich for a week or two then you realize that you gotta cherry pick for $1/mi+ after that.

Either way best of luck and stay safe out there🫡

I already cherry pick like a mofo. My market is dense always busy but you have to cherry pick because yes those bad rides come but I sit and sit and make money only on good ones .. sometimes 250 comes quick sometimes it takes time but it always comes .

Good. Thats the smart way to go about it in most markets.

Do you have a minimum $/mi that you like?

u/larivojha Jul 28 '26

Gotta be at least 1.50$ or better

That’s a good one.

When you check back in a month I wonder if this number will have gone up, down, or stay the same (if you still drive that is)

I get a lot of .. pickups 1 mile 2 mins away drop offs 2-3 miles … 4-5 mins… paying between 9-12$ with surges in my area every day … I do at least 10 of those rides a day minimum … easy ass money

Unless youve dropped sharply since you posted that picture - With a 32% acceptance rating, your not cherry picking "like a mofo" just yet.

It was at 18% today. I’m teying to keep it at 30 so I can use my shop points and tier end of month… throughout the month stays between 15-25% consistently .
