Voxera113885y@M1sf3t well, thats how its ideally is advertised, but I have read plenty of articles telling another story, that “free time” is almost required to be spent waiting around close to where there might come a ride, or some other driver will snatch it.
Uber recently added new rules preventing drivers to pick a ride if they are to far away, making it more like a normal taxi job, but without the security of employment.
Remember, your not an employee, your one partner offering services to Uber and they will always go for the partner that are willing to spend the most “free time” ready to do their bidding.
For some this might work well, but for most, it will be just a less profitable taxi job with less security.
Uber Driver: What do you do, Sir?
Me: I'm an Engineer. What about you?
Uber Driver: I'm a Uber Driver.
Me: :/
