It took driver action to get in-app tipping added to the Uber app, and some help from a Guild out of New York City known as the Independent Drivers Guild. Today, I speak with Ryan Price, Executive Director of IDG about what IDG does, how it helps drivers, and how drivers can get involved on the local level.

When I tell people I run a rideshare blog, some people are surprised. “It’s just driving!” they say. Sure, while rideshare driving isn’t rocket science, there is a lot more than “just driving” that goes into being a good rideshare driver. In this podcast, I’m going to be answering a lot of questions that new and veteran rideshare drivers have, including how to make more money, which map apps are the best, and how drivers can improve their ratings.
