    I've been driving for Uber, Lyft and Amazon for a while now and love it.

    I created this website where potential drivers and also people looking for free trials and credits can have questions answered about the services. I'm still making changes and adjustments to it, so any feedback would be appreciated.

    If you're just looking for freebies...go to the "Free Rides" section.

    Feel free to drop any questions you may have on these services.

    Are you delivering for Amazon prime or the humble location? I've been signed up for a month now and only got 1 8hr block so far. The actual work was a breeze and defiently worth it but I can't seem to get shifts.

    What's your favorite to drive for and your most profitable?

    I actually work in Dallas. If I had to choose between all the jobs, I would definitely go with Amazon flex. No passengers to deal with and about 95% of the people I deliver to, will tip.

    The thing about Amazon is the scheduling. If I'm lucky, I might get 1 or 2 days of work per month. There are so many drivers, that Amazon has to spread the work. You can easily make $200 plus a day delivering for Amazon.

    You have like a 10 second window to grab a shift. Other than that its probably the easiest job in the world.

    It takes a while. People aren't quitting because the gig is pretty good, so you have to wait for people to get deactivated.

    Wouldn't that affect your unemployment benefits eligibility?

    Serious question.

    That's pretty good. Do you have an estimate of hours ?

    It's logged at 53 hours, but it's much less than that because I stay logged on at home waiting for rides. I would say it's closer to 30-35 hours of actual work time.

    They have a feature where you can set the direction you are heading, so I turn that on and wait for a ride to the airport. That way I'm not driving empty miles.
