How much does an Uber Driver Make?
Review for an Uber Driver:
“I am a full time ‘driver-parter’ for Uber.
I was never supposed to be full time, but due to some changes in circumstances Uber is my primary income for the time being.
I primarily work in a small, isolated college town.
I’ve seen just about everything you can imagine and then some. From funny drunk pax, to annoying drunk pax, I sometimes even wonder if I just dropped someone off for a drug deal or robbery.
My Proof:
A few clarifications. At some point I stated that $300 is an average weekly pay. This is based on my entire time driving- when I first started I was less-than-part-time, maybe $80/week. Currently I do between $350-400/week. The full time/part time debate- Under official labor classifications, >30 hours is part time. When I first started, I did maybe 8 hours a week. Over all my time, 20-30 is probably average. Currently I do between 30-40 hours each week. This week for example, I’m on track for 33 hours and ~$400. Yes I live off this. No it is not sustainable. No you should not leave your job and Uber full time. I am not full time by choice.”
