How to Perfect the Passenger Pickup

Most people assume that being a rideshare driver is pretty easy, you pick people up and take them from point A to point B. But there’s so much more that goes into it. Senior RSG contributor Jay Cradeur shares his top tips for mastering the pick up.

As a veteran driver with over 24,000 rides under my belt, I have now come to recognize the passenger pick-up and drop-off as the most challenging part of my rideshare driver job.  When it comes to making a pick-up, there are many moving parts and many ways in which the pick-up can go wrong.  

When done properly, the passenger will enter your car and know they are now in the care of an experienced and superior driver.  In this article, I will share all the components of a well-executed passenger pick-up.

Uber Pro

I count myself among the thousands of driver who feel undervalued, under-appreciated and underpaid.  While Uber and Lyft have paid lip service to appreciation of their drivers, very little has changed in how much we are paid or how much we are recognized.

Recently, I sat in on a presentation in which Uber unveiled their new Uber Pro program in an effort to remedy many of the issues and complaints rideshare drivers experience.

Best Part Time Jobs – Including Rideshare Driving

Rideshare driving is a great, flexible part-time job, but some drivers want more. Much like planning for your Plan B after rideshare driving, some drivers take on equally flexible part time work in conjunction with rideshare driving. Today, RSG contributor Chonce Maddox Rhea shares the best part-time jobs in addition to rideshare driving.

One of the things I love about rideshare driving is how flexible it is. A few years back, I recommended my husband start driving for Uber or Lyft because it was flexible and would allow him to set his own hours.

At the time he worked 5-6 days per week (on a varying schedule) and was gone from 9 am to 5 pm. Since we didn’t really know when his off days would be each week, it was crucial that we found something that could fit around his schedule.

While we love the freedom and flexibility that comes with rideshare driving, there are plenty of other ways to work part-time on your own terms as well. Whether you’re a stay-at-home parent, a student, or a full-time employee looking for a side hustle, these 10 best flexible part-time jobs are worth considering.
