   5 years ago in  What is the least amount of money you made driving for Uber or Lyft on a single shift? (say a full shift over 8 hours)

  Not sure the exact amount but I can tell you is has only gotten worse and worse over the years. Most people earn more money the longer they are in a job but with Uber it is the opposite.

  If drivers are employees then we will be forced to work certain hours I dont like that at all. I would probably quit and find a job that is flexible.

  I really do not understand how they will get away with lowering drivers wages even further. The driver turnover will be insane and the drivers that they do get will be terrible.

  Super interesting thought re: leaving food in car on hot day. I guess cargo expects you to take the box in and out of the car if you live in an extreme climate area? Or do they sell things that would be ok in high heat?
