Lot’s more no-shows. Especially scheduled pick-up no-shows. Weird?

Tips running about where they were. Not many promos from Uber but the fact that they pay for long pick-ups is nice and makes it less likely that I’ll cancel a ride. Lyft has been running a lot of streak bonus’s but every other week. And occasionally there’s the “surge bonus” – got one of this morning in my living room! And then there’s this weird (?) earnings guarantee. For example this week I had a deal wherein if I gave 27 rides from 5am Monday to 5am Friday they’d guarantee that they’d be $7.60 each. That put an extra $30 in my pocket. Been doing about $20-$30 per hour so days haven’t been grinds. All in all I’ve been happy with the flow. Probably six weeks of driving left this summer.
