Then why do it? Aren't regular Uber/Lyft trips more worth it?

The legroom in my backseat (‘13 Ford Focus) is garbage and wildly uncomfortable. I also don’t really like people enough for that and prefer doing delivery, on top of having a bit more control over where I operate by delivering. I live in a small city north of Seattle and can keep my deliveries all within 5 miles and still make $30/hour. I don’t think I could do that doing rideshare.

Do you actually make $30 an hour after you factor in gas, maintenance, milage, etc?

[-] June@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

No, def not. I’m talking gross. I set aside half for taxes, car maintenance, gas, etc, and keep about 15/hour.
