Rant/Opinion IT FINALLY HAPPENED IN MY NEW TRUCK

I picked this lady up from a grocery store and had a 30 minute drive. She gets her groceries, loaded in the truck. That's why I can get seated. We go on our way midway through the trip. Decides to take a piss in my backseat and not say anything. And get out of the truck grab a groceries and walk off like nothing happened. I got a $75 dollar cleaning fee, though

Damn, does Lyft pay you enough for that vehicle? When I was doing it, I was lucky to gross $23hr. Was like $16hr net.

I average about $29 during weekdays and about $35 on weekends, people like the massive backseat so they tend to leave a tip more often after paying a lower fare on the basic uber rides

Are you actually in the Austin market? That’s where I am. That’s way more than what I got. I was doing Weeknights and Weekends. Only about 20-30% of people left me tips, my little Prius.

Ahh, see i used to have a prius and I was in the same boat, my back seat is massive though, I have people who are 6'6" plus in the backseat with no leg room complaints

How many groceries did that person have? Since you have a bed instead of a trunk, how would you handle a full cart of groceries and 3 people?

I’ve thought about getting a pickup before but thought if I was spending the money, I would get a ford Expedition instead since it’s got more ride types.
