One of the best parts about being a rideshare driver is the flexibility. However, there are a few areas in which rideshare driving falls short, like upward movement and true career opportunities. In this episode, I’ll be talking to a former rideshare driver (and RSG contributor) about how he transitioned out of rideshare and into truck driving.

How This LA Driver Makes $30 Per Hour Even After Rate Cuts

In this guest post, we bring on long-time RSG commenter Sergio Avedian to tell us about how he schedules his day driving in Los Angeles. If you caught my podcast episode with Sergio here, you’ll learn he only drives during surge and still brings in $30/hr. Learn more about his strategies below.

If you’re interested in learning more from Sergio, head over to our Rideshare Coaching page.

“Two roads diverged in a wood, and I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference.” Robert Frost probably did not intend for that sentence to be a tutorial for a rideshare driver, but at some point we all get to that divergence in the road.

Everyone metaphorically takes a look at both paths, then consciously or unconsciously decides. The decisions we make on a daily basis is crucial to having success as a rideshare driver in Los Angeles. I made the decision of becoming a surge only/mostly driver pretty early on.

Updated Postmates Referral Codes for Drivers

Get your Postmates Driver Referral Code & Postmates Sign Up Bonus here: https://therideshareguy.com/Drive/Postmates

Driving delivery is an integral component to many drivers’ strategies, as driving rideshare + delivery can maximize time on the road. Deciding which delivery company to start with, however, can be a challenge – how do you know which will be busiest in your city? Today, RSG contributor Paula Gibbins makes it a little easier for you to decide with the latest sign up bonuses for Postmates.

I always recommend drivers sign up for a couple of services (Uber, Lyft, Postmates, DoorDash and more here), since it only takes a few minutes and can help you stay busy and profitable.  If you’ve been considering delivery driving but didn’t know where to start, consider signing up with a Postmates referral code, get the bonus in your city, and then see if delivery is a good option for you as a driver.

Getting Started with Postmates – Sign Up with a Postmates Driver Referral Code

Signing up to deliver with Postmates is fairly easy, and you can check out Dash’s walkthrough of signing up for Postmates. Signing up to drive with Postmates is, in fact, easier than signing up to drive for Uber/Lyft, since Postmates isn’t nearly as strict on what type of vehicle you use to deliver food. You can have a two-door vehicle, a bicycle, truck, etc.

Postmates Courier Delivery Requirements

According to the Terms of Service, Postmates requires their couriers to be at least 18 years of age. They allow the couriers to use cars or bicycles to deliver the customer’s order, which is good news for people looking to make some extra cash but don’t have a vehicle available.

When creating an account, you’ll be required to provide personal information including a photo of yourself for identification verification purposes. Also be sure to enter your bank information for direct deposit of your paycheck.
