    I don’t think they’ll ever give that back. Prop 22 really screwed over drivers, there was the truly amazing but very short time where they were desperate and gave drivers everything they wanted and you could set your own prices.

      Yeah things are pretty bad. I remember when I started and I looked up a bunch of guides and saw all kinds of people from 2018 talking about how you can make $2k driving forty hours, nowadays you’re lucky to hit $1k in eighty.

        You’ll obliterate your car, too. The real solution is legislation but it’s clear they don’t give a shit. I don’t think prop 22 is even holding that back anymore, I think a court decided that the part of it that made relegislating stuff like driver pay impossible due to needing a huge majority was null.
