Download or read book The Uber Driver written by Vincent Prize and published by . This book was released on 2020-09-07 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book The UBER Driver describes one man's experiences driving thousands of passengers from varying backgrounds through the streets, highways, and towns within the New York metro, using the rideshare platform, Uber. It tells a story of immense hazard, danger, discovery, and sometimes the excitement of interacting every day with the mobile public, from the happy drunks of Hoboken, the super-rich of Edgewater, and Manhattan to the infected and dying patients of the Coronavirus. This book occupies a unique position, as one of the few books that were written in real-time, when covid19 was raging and rampaging the world and especially the New York metro. It shall remain a source of enormous information for anyone seeking the chronicle of the pandemic from the eyes of someone who was on the frontline. Since a hundred years from now, humans will like to know how their ancestors lived and finally survived the worst pandemic in recent memory. The UBER Driver also presents a wealth of information to any user or prospective user of rideshare, either as a driver or passenger. This information should be useful as a guide for better interaction between the two parties, the driver and passenger. In the chapter, Rideshare vs. Taxi, the author gives a scholarly dissection between the two modes of personal transportation, which might be an immense resource for any meaningful researcher. In order to tell the story of the experiences of rideshare drivers, using an Uber driver as a case study, as it relates to a wide range of behavior, occasioned by diverse characters, the author quit his job, drove Uber for almost three years, gave rides to thousands of passengers in the process, then one day, sat down and wrote about it. Due to limitations to the size of the book, he could only tell the story of less than one percent of his many passengers. Because if one wants to write about how it feels to have malaria, he or she should visit the tropics, get exposed to the malaria parasite, get sick, recover from it, and write all about it. One does not sit in a café in the middle of Manhattan or Paris and imagine how it feels to have malaria and attempt to write about it.

Download or read book Buzz Ride written by P. M. White and published by Lake Claremont Press: A Chicago Joint. This book was released on 2017-08-17 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Darkly Comedic Coming of (Middle) Age Adventure - Why would a financially-comfortable, fifty-something father of two-with a Mercedes-drive Uber late at night on the toughest streets of Chicago? Pat White (pseudonym), a financial advisor and business strategist, decided to go undercover to research how the disruptive technology of ridesharing affects commerce. Soon his business study warped into a study of humanity . . . and himself. This reserved Baby Boomer first had to face his fear of picking up strangers in his own car and driving them to unknown locations. Most were over-privileged, over-served Millennials in route to their next adrenaline rush or wherever they were crashing for the night. Some treated him like he was invisible--making out, arguing, discussing sex and drugs, and lying to lovers on the phone about their whereabouts as if no one else were in the car. Others wished him to partake in their partying or craved his counsel on the most intimate details of their lives. Still others were just looking to pick a fight. Rarer were the tired and the timid: those returning to family after working long hours with hopes of a brighter tomorrow, those fleeing abuse, and those just fleeing a thunderstorm. This summer experiment took White down roads he never imagined he would travel. Soon he found himself embracing danger, longing for the thrill of voyeuristic glimpses into private lives made public, and facing the depths of his shadow personality. Come along for the bumpy ride as this sharp-tongued observer shares the always wild, sometimes dark, often humorous, and surprisingly touching side of Chicago nightlife in the smart-phone generation. Hop into the Back of Patrick's Silver Benz and Buckle Up!

Download or read book The Business of Rideshare Driving written by Wylee Post and published by . This book was released on 2019-03-25 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW RELEASE 2019 You are thinking about being an Uber driver and/or Lyft driver but you still have questions... let's cut right to the chase. This book, The Business of Rideshare Driving - Earn More, Stress Less doesn't waste any time repeating content found on the Uber and Lyft websites... all of the book's content is dedicated to helping you have a successful rideshare driving business; earning maximum income; with no stress. There are other rideshare driving books on Amazon. Why buy this book? For that matter why buy a book at all? Why not just go to the Uber/Lyft website, sign up, qualify, then go out and drive? From the author: "If rideshare driving is such a great 'gig' then why do 50% of new drivers quit less than 30 days after their first trip as a driver? At the end of a year over 90% have stopped being a rideshare driver!" The Business of Rideshare Driving - Earn More, Stress Less is well-researched and professionally-written thanks in part to the author's 15+ years' experience in corporate America as a data analyst; technical writer; training content developer; as well as a technical training presenter and training coach. www.linkedin.com/in/wyleepost The content of "The Business of Rideshare Driving - Earn More, Stress Less" is drawn from the author's real-world experiences driving for Uber and Lyft in Denver, Colorado since April of 2016 and completing over 11,000 trips as a driver. Why buy this book? There are other books on Amazon, some claiming to tell you everything you need to know about driving for Uber and Lyft. With any non-fiction book the background and experience of the author is the most important factor to consider. Rideshare drivers with a lot of experience are extremely proud of their lifetime trip number. If the author of a book is not telling you their number of lifetime trips, then the number is probably not impressive? Would you buy a book about how to be an airplane pilot from someone who just got their license to fly solo? Again, why buy this book rather than one of the other rideshare driving books on Amazon? Good technical writing is difficult. Presenting technical topics in an understandable and easy-to-digest format takes years of practice in a professional environment. Without experience and background in technical writing and training content development it's unlikely an author's book is going to deliver hard-hitting content. Another important factor to consider is the author's life experience... It might sound impressive that an author use to be an engineer or some other profession which suggests an intelligent person... but think about it... how does being an engineer or being single-focused on any unrelated profession prepare an author for writing good content on a different subject... especially if the author has very little real-world experience on the new subject? This book: The Business of Rideshare Driving - Earn More, Stress Less And the companion book: The Business of Rideshare Driving - Calculating (Your) Profits Provide the previously missing rideshare driver "Employee Success Manuals" and they are laser-focused on helping new and existing drivers realize the claim of rideshare driving being "The Ultimate Side Gig." SIMPLY THE BEST AVAILABLE CONTENT FOR SUCCEEDING AT BEING AN UBER DRIVER AND LYFT DRIVER
