Do you have a referral code? I had someone asking me to use theirs and I promised but they aren’t local and the guarantee specifically says Milwaukee - I know how they can be about specifically making sure it’s in the area. Mine that came in email all say the little towns around here that I doubt anyone ever orders an Uber from.

Do you still drive? Do you have a referral code that’s local? I’m not worried about how washed up it is I’ve got a list of 30(ish) contract platforms I researched I figure if I run enough of them I can stay busy lol. If you’re still trying to do contract work I can send you that list. Not everything is available here yet but the ones that aren’t will be so they’re good to keep in mind. When a platform first moves into an area they pay really well. It’s worth it in the beginning.

I’m going to come back and post the screenshots when I make 15k through earnings guarantees and referral bonuses alone by going from one to the next to the next taking 12 hour days. All of them have a sign up bonus. The ones that I already have the link I need are for 3200/220 2800/180 etc. Although if anyone has one for higher I’m happy to swap mine out.

The question was not - “how’s business in Springfield” it was instead - “Do you have a referral code for me to use since I’m going to be doing this work for the next month anyway - that can help you out also?” I know the people who gave the their code are going to make at min $600 that one I have for 3200 - the guy is getting 1200 for.

I plan to do this no matter what. I don’t give a shit if you’re panicked about it and another me out on the road taking business or not. You can either get a bonus out of it or just leave your advice at the door.

By the way how’s your acceptance rate? How’s your completion rate and rating? You do realize when a new driver starts most of the platforms send more business their way in the beginning. Most of the people who do really well and keep their metrics up continue receiving orders like that in Springfield regardless. Literally every single driver I’ve talked to here that wasn’t a total piece of work - has enough work when they want to.

You’re thinking it dried up because you can’t work 40 hours and make 1500 per week. You need to work 80 or have an earnings guarantee. Sorry for your loss brother but you don’t own the business and I’m absolutely getting started and I’m absolutely going to make money. You cannot possibly think I am stupid enough to hear that out right? I’ve done the research. Not too mention I have about 20 apps right here. If I can’t find work to keep me going then I have options. Some of the apps I use are for long distance boat hauls and such. Trust me it’s going to be ok. Thanks for you time anyway.

I’m definitely doing this regardless. If anyone wants to make money in the process - show me your referral bonus. I’m using the best ones sent to me or if someone really needs the extra cash I’d gladly help out and use theirs.

I’m not trying to rip into you either but I see this same thing every single day. I’m not new to this - I’m in literally all of the contract groups and this is exactly how it goes. The people with lower metrics say similar to you. The people with fear of less business because more drivers - they only feel that way because business is slow for them. I got diagnosed with lung cancer and I don’t have ANY choice in the matter right now. I need the freedom for my treatment and to be able to rest when needed. I have a professional degree but I cannot risk making a buffoon out of myself in my industry by employer hopping while sick.

Trust me. I’m not happy about it either. I’m not excited to get out there and have all these people in my car during Covid while I have lung cancer. I’m not excited to run to 50-70 different restaurants a day and pick up orders for people to tip bait me, try to make me on Tik Tok from their doorbell cams. I used to play in a local band. Everyone knows me. I’ve worked extremely hard to change that but you can’t just disappear completely. Of the hundreds of orders and rides I’ll be taking I can assure you many times I will run into people I don’t care to see.

I get what you’re saying and why - it’s slow season anyway man. But seriously I did take offense to that. There’s no reason to share that way because you don’t want more drivers. I’m willing to bet you can actually feel your face when you wake up in the morning and it’s not numb from lack of oxygen - meaning YOU can work a regular job lol. I can’t right now. It fuckin wears me out bro. I can however sit on my ass and shuttle people and food around so that I can live through this and pay for my treatment and bills.

Now that you know all of this - do you want to share that promo code and make some money together or not. The last two I really want/need are listed but I’m happy to hear any out that you have that you work with - that actually has business in the area. Not trying to get your code for “Deliveroo” lol
