I’ve been driving for Uber and Lyft for 5 years now and blogging about it the entire time. But four articles a week, 52 weeks a year for five years straight means that there’s a LOT of content on this site. And while a lot of the posts I wrote years ago are still pretty relevant today, they can be hard to find.
So that’s why I’m proud to announce today that my new book, The Rideshare Guide: Everything you need to know about driving for Uber, Lyft and other ridesharing companies will be available on 4/24/2018!
Over the years, I’ve personally talked to over 50,000 drivers by e-mail, phone, social media and in-person and learned a lot. This book is my attempt to consolidate all of that knowledge plus my own driving experience in order to give drivers everything they need to be successful at rideshare driving. I hope you enjoy it!

Why is the Title So Long?
I think you have to have a really long book title these days but in all seriousness, this is the only guide out there that lays out this much information for new, intermediate, and veteran drivers – so I needed a title to reflect all that info!
Plus, this book isn’t just about rideshare driving. I cover everything from driving delivery, handling your taxes, and even what the future may hold for the gig economy. With all that information, you’re really getting everything you need to know, so the title reflects that.
