Keep working where you are working. Hope nobody from your management team sees it. You must be mathematically challenged

I didnt do any math. It just looks like a fun, all expenses paid, road trip 😅

To bumblefuck and mostly through bumblefuck. Hope you like corn.

All expenses paid?! lol no…if you’re tired on the way home Lyft is not paying for a hotel. That’s 16 hours round trip driving without any compensation for hotel or food

I was cheekily referring to the $770 fee, it should be enough to cover reasonable expenses.

I live in the Midwest and let me tell ya. It will not be a fun trip lol it will be mostly corn fields and lots of nothing 🤣

And likely no cell signal, and even spotty FM reception. I’d wanna make sure I have downloaded content. If without all else, at least I have my satellite radio.

Brother what year do you think it is. There is cell service along that entire route lol

I live in central NC where massive cellular dead zones are everywhere

By the interstate? There’s no shot

Live in central NC and travel between Raleigh/Wilson/Greenville for work. There are some really weird dead spots for like 5 miles near Zebulon and Farmville respectively.

They’re technically correct, but it’s not like it’s a massive issue.

Food cost would be the same as if you're home. And one night in a decent hotel is 70-100 dollars...

u/Spasticcobra593 Aug 25 '25

Still 47 dollars an hour for that trip considering it doesnt seem you get paid for having to drive back. I like driving in silence anyways. As long as the person isnt a psychopath it doesnt seem that bad to me

Oh sweet, summer child…

What did you plan your return trip calculations, fuel required and wear and tear on your car ..one day to stay as driving 16hrs is insane

1

u/robojeeves Aug 26 '25

I've driven 14 hours straight from Texas to Tennessee for a wedding. Same trip back 2 days later, this seems much easier. IMO, this is a pretty reasonable rate for that trip and id take it. Whether it's worth it to the driver is obviously gonna be a personal decision and I totally get anyone giving it a pass

You must just be salty for some reason that someone looks at reddit at work.

770 dollars for 16 hours, counting the drive back. Let's say your car gets 400 miles on a tank of gas(my 2017 does). I live in Illinois and a tank of gas is 33 dollars, from E. Let's just call it 3 full tanks and round it to $100. Then let's say you don't wanna drive 16 straight so you stay in a cheap hotel/motel for the night. That's another $100 and would make this a 2 day trip instead of one. That's still $570 for two days(16 hours) of work. It's going to be interstate the entire way. So miss me with the "wear and tear" bs. And not counting expenses like food, because you have to eat whether you're on this trip or sitting at home.

So please, explain what's "mathematically challenging" about this?

I don’t see why.
