I drive in the Napa Valley, where most of the rides are about the winery business, and Uber is definitely needed and appreciated!

I love the positive attitude you always display in your vids Calvin. I agree with you on everything especially #21. I've helped many people get home safely as I prefer only driving at night. I feel so good when I hear "Don you saved my life".

Doesn't it feel amazing Don? You have to stay positive in a business like this one. Negativity will not help you thrive at all.

@@TheSimpleDriver I just had another awesome night of driving for Uber! 20% of my haul was in tips and I also made $40 from Play Octopus & Cargo. What an amazing opportunity we have because of Uber. I'm so grateful. You see.. I've been homeless 3 times in the last 11 years. I was about to become homeless again for the 4th time after being laid off for the 4th time in 22 years. When my unemployment benefit was running out this last time I was thinking" I can't do this again. I thought maybe it's time to throw in the proverbial towel. I couldn't because I'm basically a coward and more importantly I have 2 wonderful daughters. I started looking at the Uber opportunity and although I didn't have a car I had 3 years experience as a Limousine Chauffeur in the 90's. So I started searching for info

I came across this guy who I thought was amazing. His name was Calvin and his Channel was called The Simple Driver. I was skeptical about it at first. I was amazed at how perspective. His loving and sharing attitude was mindboggling. Could this be true? I had a thousand dollars saved. I reached out to Uber. I passed the background check in less than a day. My lucky stars were aligned perfectly. Uber and Fair had just opened a Car Rental Station a few miles away and the First Week for free was a no-brainer... I'm now a Top Rated Driver in Orange County and LA / Hollywood and I've completed nearly 700 Trips in 10 weeks. I have 1% Cancellation Rate, a 96% Acceptance Rate, and a 4.94 Star Rating. I reached the Pro Diamond Level in just 6 weeks and I LOVE IT!!! My secret? Calvin videos and occasionally Dustin and few others. Oh... and a POSITIVE ATTITUDE! Sometimes you just have to trust in Serendipity.

Thanks for the new tips. I built my webpage for rideshare and have had sponsored content on there. Without you helping me build it I would have missed out on some small but different source of income . I did a video on 4 ways to make money without driving and your content helped me create it!

I think federal legislation will come out to help ride share drivers to be treated like employees rather than contractors to level the playing field. I am watching as a customer to make sure these people are treated correctly. Friends of mine do this and struggle. You may not but others do. My work treats me well as an employee such that I can regularly support ride share with tipping and it makes me sad to hear the personal stories of the struggle after paying very well for this service.
