Can't be too profitable in that thing.

Yea no doubt but they had someone put the pen to the paper this week on Reddit and it showed Uber isn't very profitable when you consider all the data. Not sure how it's even close to profitable in an F350.

Gotta appreciate someone with the humbleness to not be above a job.
Could be on welfare.

A truck uber would be useful if I needed to haul something/move/pick up a few yards of mulch. Would probably be more profitable in NYC or DC than in south Louisiana.

They must be laid off because they're driving for Uber? C'mon.
I guess it depends what city you're in. Catch some 2.5x and up rides every night in midtown. Concerts around Houston at 5-8x can rack you $100+ on 1 trip. Airport pickups are crazy too.

Wow, I can imagine what his passengers must think...
Good thing I have such a great imagination to do such since OP is incapable of posting pics :|

Could be very profitable (but stupid) if his company pays his note and gives him a gas card. Obviously dude would have to be a total dumb shite to risk losing a gig with perks like that but it is possible.
If he is out of work and wants to make $ with that rig he needs to look into driving hotshots. Delivering critical time sensitive components that have a million dollar production unit shutdown pays much better then driving around drunk idiots all night.

Maybe he isn't that hard up for money and is just looking for a small supplemental income.
Hot shot driving might be more money but it's not as convenient if you're just looking for supplemental income.

Yea in a down oilfield economy, hotshot driving is not profitable either.

Nah dude, uber pays you to drive so the gas almost pays for itself.

Do they charge extra for the truck nuts?

He could be making $300 a night after the lsu games.
