Can you just put a few ads out directly? Eventually you would probably have a nice clientele and not need uber/lift. I would much rather have the same driver that I know in some cities. And I work in the West alot. I'm getting to where I don't want to fly much anymore. I can put up with alot but it's getting really sketch. That's a good idea, and I've thought about it. You've got to get licensing and permits set up, insurance, yada yada yada. I don't think it would be profitable with the part time "doing it till I get set up as an adj" deal. I think it would have to be a long term investment deal. Also...of all the Uber/Lyft drivers, has to be a reason why there isn't others doing that (not trying to be negative, but real). I agree. Have to do it on the sly lol.

one of the best rides I had was last year. It was a Lyft, but the guy drove for both Uber and Lyft. He had a playlist for any occasion, race, color, creed, religious belief what ever you could think of. He told me how he used it to calm down angry or anxious passengers. Originally from California, but one of the coolest guys ever. Talked about government conspiracies and music the whole way. Had about 11k trips between the both.

I'm getting concerned about Uber, they sent me the suspension on Sat and said someone will be getting in contact with me after investigation, have not heard from any one as of yet. I emailed customer suport, but their original emails said noone will be able to help me (i.e.-don't contact anyone) except their Trust Dept. Phuckers! And...I got reinstated with Lyft Monday from the suspension for thje accident, only to be suspended by them again at midnight last night for not sending the proper docs for renewing my registration. I renewed it last week, uploaded the confirmation you get after renewing online but they want either the actual sticker, or the receipt the State emails you after renewing, which I have not recieved yet. Called them today and held and held to no avail. Be funny if I didn't need to be driving so much, more drama iin these last few mths driving for these yahoo's than I've experienced in my whole life.

Yea. Sounds like a major hassle to make a buck and they don't put their drivers first. How's the adjusting thing going?

Yea. Sounds like a major hassle to make a buck and they don't put their drivers first. How's the adjusting thing going? Sent in my application a few weeks ago, called TDI to make sure I do not finger prints, they confirmed I do not as I already have them on file. Got a letter last week mfrom TDI stating it's on hold as I need to send in fingerprints, wtf? Talked to several poeple who didn't have an answer, finally talked to someone who knew what they were doing and said I needed "updated" finger prints as mine were too old. Got them done last week, waiting. I have been doing some Xactmitate training (Estimating Program), buffed my Vette today, Dr's appt's, etc. I do have 2 good referrals I am working on at the office, both Staffing Co's, should be an easy close. How about you, did you decide to stay where you were at?

How about you, did you decide to stay where you were at? I've got alot in my pipe for end of Q2 and Q3 and I really don't want to change. But I am engaging with several opportunities as the spidy senses are up. Several of my coworkers that aren't doing well are getting paranoid. Feels like changes are coming. There have been alot of layoffs in my world but not here yet. We'll see. SnL is on several rosters with adjusting companies so hopefully something will pop soon. She's helping out with the area school for now just to have something to do.
