In reply to the discussion: Only 4% of Uber drivers remain on the platform a year later, says report [View all]Hulk
(6,699 posts)33. Many drivers do both.
I turn on both apps, and when I get a call from one, I simply turn off the other.
If I'm going to be sitting in my car, I may as well be busy.
On the subject of "self driving cars", I see that as coming long after I give it up; and even then I wonder how many passengers are going to be comfortable with that one.
I'm heading back to San Miguel, Mexico long before that happens. Living on $3k a month is "poverty level" up here. I can live comfortably with my wife and dog south of the border. With dRumpf insulting humanity, it looks better every day.

OP
Question. How do the drivers get paid? A check or direct deposit in an account? Are taxes taken

So for many, when they add the 1099 to their taxes, they are hit with a big unexpected tax bill.
