Here I thought I had a great day by Uber standards and it looks like I lost money at the end of the day. Guess the good news is I won't owe any taxes on this money since I didn't make any. So according to tax write off on cars, (.56 per mile), I spent 70 dollars today in wear/tear/depreciation on my car while earning 51.50. Spent 10.25 in gas (Averaged nearly 29 mpg) and collected 61.75 after all of Ubers fees. But, the issue is I didn't make any money. I waited a few times, but nothing unreasonable. The funny thing was I thought I had an amazing first day in comparison to all the horror stories I read and hear on these forums. In fact, I hung out for nearly 2 hours at a 2.8x surge area and only got fairs outside of the area. Out of them all, it really only appears I made any money on one trip today.

Many required 10-15 minute drives to pickup passengers.

West outskirts of Fort worth to stockyards. By my account, it seemed like everything I had hoped Uber would be. I never went more than 5 mins without a ping. Overall, the experience was extremely positive. I started around 4:30 p.m and finished around 8:30.

Let me start off by saying I had a great day driving for Uber in Dallas.
