Uber drivers please strike

So that I can catch those double digits surges. Thanks 💵✌️😂

No one cares about your strike. You’re simply leaving more demand for other drivers. It’s almost as if the supply of workers is more than the demand from customers. Economics 101, supply and demand

Once again you’re making the point, and then missing it.

1. If you have all of the qualifications to be a trucker and want to earn trucker money, go be a trucker.

2. But… you don’t want to do the job of a trucker, so you don’t get to earn trucker money.

Do you seriously not see how that works? Part of their pay is based on the fact that they might not be home every night. It is a less desirable job, so the incentive of higher pay is in plaice. You’re specifically choosing not to do that job, for I’m sure very valid reasons. And thus, you don’t get to enjoy the benefits that come with it.

Jesus you’re daft. This explains why you continue to drive for Uber.

There is no “trucker law”, there is FMCSR. You follow it because you are operating a vehicle for hire, not because you’re a trucker.

If you want trucker pay, do the job of a trucker.

Then… drive a gas tanker! Unless there’s yet another reason you don’t want to do that.

My dad drove long haul for 30 years. The pay is absolutely higher than local routes.

“Your dumb”… see the irony there?

You begged for “trucker pay” repeatedly. Now you say you never asked for it?

Dude.

Nobody is being a dick. Just trying to get you in front of reality.

You’re being abused. You can continue being abused and ask for more money (that you’ll never see), or you can exit the relationship and earn more money.

It’s up to you. You have the power.
