Between time, gas, wear and tear...i cant imagine how driving uber, uber eats etc is profitable unless you catch a big surge and/or big tip.

its definitely profitable because thousands of people in the tri state area alone do it full time. but the part about time and constantly being on the road is true. its draining.

What do you consider profitable?

being able to earn a living. my dad drove uber full time for years because he was a migrant with no education. he was making $300 a day. Thats roughly 70-80k annually and you barely pay any taxes because of all the deductions. i make less than that with my w2 and pay more in taxes.

i work part time and even then, i can pull together $50 on weekdays, and $150-300 on weekends. And that’s just by delivering food, id rather not have people in my car.

I think you could make the same as doing pizza delivery off the books

pizza delivery has gone down the drain ngl. and people dont really tip for dominos or pizza hut anymore. especially not when a medium is $12
