Calgary Lyft/Uber Chronicles -- 07/28/24

You have to factor in 'wear and tear' on your car. Eventually you'll need to replace your car, so you to figure in car payments, along with maintence/repairs with cost and deduct that from your pay.

[@Thyslop07]

Exactly! The cost to run that vehicle is something nobody thinks about until it’s time to replace things. He can make $300 every day and by the time he pays income tax and factors in the wear and tear and fuel/insurance, it won’t ever compare to his day job.

Hey hello Question why you quit trucking

[@cityboyis2]

This kind of work is slow during summer holiday months. better off just taking the taking the time off. Things don't pick up until school starts and really busy days don't happen until cold winter days.

Hi, I have a question do you need to do both training and exam for Lyft and Uber TNDL. I just did the training and exam for TNDL yesterday and passed the exam?

[@HHTV60]

you only need to take the exam once, but Uber takes 5 times longer to issue the TNDL, compared to LYFT.

[@jeofreydeleon6503]

@@HHTV60 Thanks for the info! I got the TNDL today with LYFT. See you around! Stay safe.

On a positive note you don't need to plan for police escorts and permit delays.

So what are your plans long-term?

Where can i find the email or contact details for TNDL? im waiting almost 2 months

[@HHTV60]

Uber doesn't do anything until 30 days passes since the day of your vehicle inspection. I waited 2.5 months to get on the road. You can contact them thru the Help menu. Chat is useless. Try using their phone support. It's much more effective.

@@HHTV60 Thanks 😊. No point of contacting Calgary city for TNDL?

Are you not entitled to holidays in Canada?? Take your annual leave and drive uber over those days see what it pays!!

[@HHTV60]

no holidays. when you're an immigrant, you have to work 24/7.

[@isawthelight]

Uber sucks here in GTA unless you take crap orders u not making add expenses your losing. Real jobs= real pay. Uber is a side gig that is isn't even worth it.

[@gardemeister]

Sergei buy couple of monthly magazine Vogue for ladies may be another art magazine. Forget about guys. Place them rear pouch of the seat where they can see and check out. Then buy full pack of half liter water bottles carry them in the trunk and place in center console offer them free water. That makes the diffeerence when it comes to tipping. And it wont cost you much .

[@kellismith4329]

For $5trips??

[@gardemeister]

@@kellismith4329 On top of that 5 plus 5 $ tip makes difference.For 40 bottles of water is 10$ makes 0.25cents a piece. Hospitality industry is a very high profit margin business.
