For as much as the drivers like to bitch about the wages, its a job that requires almost no skill and there appears to be no shortage of people that want to do it.
Exactly. It reminds me a lot of the Expedited Freight industry.
The entry barriers are low, the wage is still better than flipping burgers, and there are people that just enjoy doing it. Even if the hourly drops down to $15 after true operating expenses, it's still a hell of a lot better than asking if they want fries with that. I'm sure some markets are better than others, but still.
Plus there's flexibility in scheduling, so it's perfect for retirees/part-timers. Plus the experiences. I've seriously thought about buying a car just to go to the cities and drive Uber there. Think of the stories. GOLD JERRY GOLD.
