Book about Uber
 
There's a new book out that might interest people here. The title is "Ubered: My Lige as an Uber Driver" and the author is Evan Khan, who was an Uber/Lyft driver for about four years in the Minneapolis area. He claims to have driven 140,000 miles for Uber during that time and to have been paid a total of $120,000 or $20 per hour before expenses. There are a lot of stories of strange passengers.

Enjoy!

I read it. Found the guy to be rather immature, with horrific business sense. Some of the stories were interesting, such as the elderly couple who spoke no English arriving at clearly a wrong address, while ones focusing on club kids and drugs lost me.

At the time, it was free for Kindle Prime members to borrow on their Amazon devices.

As an UBER driver myself, I have certainly encountered my share of stories/situations. Certainly keeps it interesting for me.
