We would love to hear your feedback!

We tear into the hidden math of gig work, from bonuses that look great on paper to car notes that choke your margins. A spill, a triple batch, a Lyft perk change, and a Waymo near a felony stop all point to the same lesson: treat this like a business or the job will run you.

• stocking cleanup gear for fast recovery in the car
• using stackable bonuses to lift weak orders
• denying low-value trips and avoiding deadhead
• why expensive cars for rideshare rarely add up
• Lyft rewards changes and what to watch next
• Uber Eats scheduling screens in select markets
• multi-apping with two phones without verification flags
• when to cancel add-ons like mall drops on peak days
• Waymo’s blind spot near a police stop and human judgment
• BabyQuip and laundry apps as micro-business plays
