"make my own schedule🚀"

May 25, 2023 - Driver in Houston, TX
Recommends

Pros

Scheduling flexibility so I have a great Family Work balance

Cons

I definitely feel we should receive a higher percentage for the fare seeing as how it’s my vehicle which I fully cover, including my own ride share insurance as well.

Advice to Management

Raise the drivers percentage for the fare🙏🏻
