I would like to visit my daughter in Dallas more often, but it's a long drive by myself. And of course a rider would also pay for the trip. But I cannot figure out how to post such a Rider Wanted on either platform. Any body doing this? How?
Driving to Dallas from OKC - would love to make it a Lyft/Uber driving opportunity

Unless Your area has something new neither the Lyft or Uber platform has that capability. Uber has "Pool" and Lyft has "Shared". What that means as those rides are discounted. The driver may or may not get other riders during your trip but regardless you will be given an "Upfront Price". That price is what you will pay no matter if someone else gets in the car or not during your trip. The Pool or Shared ride just means you may or may not get other riders in the car with you. It doesn't mean the cost is shared. The ride is just discounted compared to an Uber X or Lyft ride.
