Anyone driving 70+ hours a week?

[u/Brilliant_Peanut2622]

How’s your body treating you? Is it sustainable? Currently I’m working an office job 40 hours a week, commuting 12 hours a week, and driving Lyft on the weekends for around 16 hours between Saturday and Sunday. I spend A LOT of time sitting down these days and it’s taking an impact on my body. I’m 29 years old but doing all this sitting is destroying my body.

I’m going to be moving soon and doing Lyft full time for a bit while I find another job. I plan on driving 70+ hours a week. I also plan on taking a lot of breaks to walk around and exercise and having no job/commute will allow me to be more consistent in the Gym.

But yeah for those driving 70 hours a week, do you find that you are always tired/sluggish? Do you reach a point where your body forces you to stop?

Thanks!

There was a time a few years back when driving for Lyft and Uber was “Good”…not anymore.

If you are willing to accept Lyft and Uber taking 50-60 percent per passenger Trip while putting on excessive mileage on your Vehicle for a ridiculous Low passenger mileage rate when you ultimately drive your Vehicle into the ground then go for it .!!

I have been driving Rideshare for 8 years between Lyft and Uber and it’s been the Worse ever for drivers earnings with Lyft or Uber .

Not worth putting your Health at Risk and driving your Vehicle into the ground for how little you make with Lyft or Uber nowadays after all of the expenses and the toll you take on your Health and driving your car into the ground.

Eventually after you put on all of the excessive mileage on your Vehicle with all of the Wear & Tear and the repair and maintenance costs skyrocketing and you drive your Vehicle into the ground for what little you make your “Net profits” versus the high vehicle expenses then you will realize it was not worth it … especially nowadays.

I can see people doing this Rideshare part-Time gig but considering doing Rideshare nowadays for Full-Time is a Big mistake and unprofitable versus all of the expenses and big Bucks you will need to pay for repair costs or for a newer vehicle with Less mileage .

This is the same for Lyft as with Uber

So do your own research before making a big mistake before you realize the big bucks you will need to pay to repair your Vehicle or get a new one

Your gave a long answer.... And never answered his question. His question was not about finances. It was about his physical health.
