Camille Mauro, a part-time Uber driver from Miami, said she prefers driving for Uber rather than other driver gigs like Avon and Postmates because she knows exactly how much she will earn before she picks up a passenger.
Many Uber drivers and other gig workers cite having more control over the terms of their employment as a huge incentive for participating in the gig economy.
As an efficient way to help decrease DUI arrests and traffic-related deaths, many Uber drivers are sharing their appreciation for riders who are responsible enough to call rideshare and ask for a ride home.
Darnell Tillett, a North Jersey Uber driver, noted that one of the best things about working part-time for Uber is that he feels like he always has extra money in his pocket.
Drivers who work for ride-hailing companies often come from a variety of lifestyles, backgrounds and life circumstances, yet all have chosen their gigs for the same reason: flexibility.
When part-time Uber driver Gyula a.k.a. Julius Moldvan lost his mother six years ago, he started driving as a way to pay for an inherited house and a mortgage.
