This is a blog of Uber driving.
I have been doing it for about nine months. I wanted to write down ideas, gripes, customer stories that I have come to find in my tenure as an Uber driver.
I have a few other blogs that have nothing to do with this. One is a gamer blog and the other a writing blog, which I really need to get back to. But,t hat is neither here nor there.
What made me want to write this? Why is it called Chasing the Red?
The first one, simple reason. I like Blogger and thought, why not try and use it to write about something I am doing and have some passing familiarity with. The second one is my own personal view of what many of my fellow Uber drivers do. We see the "surge" price on our devices and try to head towards those areas. Make more money. Greet new people. That kind of thing.
First off, you should know that I am not the kind of Uber driver who is going to complain about how short a drive is going to be. If I am picking someone up from down the block and they need to go two streets over, so be it. That is what I signed up for. That is what all of us Uber drivers did really. We signed up to drive a person or people from point A to point B. If that is down the block, great. If it is from Redondo Beach to Pacific Palisades, so be it. Yes, I live in the South Bay of California. Don't know where that is? Find LAX and go south. That is where I usually work.
I drive a burgundy 2013 Toyota Avalon hybrid. And it has paid for itself many times over in the amount of gas I save with that electric motor assist.
I think I have given a good intro. If you have any questions of comments, please put them down below in the comment section. Talk again soon.
Have a pleasant day.
