Truck Driver Wrecks And Needs A Ride To Philadelphia

I’m a rideshare driver with over 10,000 rides. Some may find that number incredible, other’s who drive rideshare may wonder how I’m not broke yet. Today, I’m just waking up after a highly unusual 1,000+ day. I’m drinking coffee and thinking about how crazy yesterday was. People say the like to read these rideshare stories, so I’ll scribe yesterday’s events out in to the vast void of the Internet.

Some may have questions about long rides. Rideshare drivers don’t have to take them, or any ride. To many refusals and they may do something, but other than that, you’ll just use whatever precious metal they’ve put to name your status. The chances of getting a ride going back home are next to 0. Even if you did, you wouldn’t have the hours available because they kick you off the app after 12 hours of driving. I don’t know what you’d do if you had a rider in the car at the end of 12 hours. I don’t suggest doing long rides on rideshare, but then again, I don’t suggest doing many things that I do.

3:00 AM

I am just waking up. I have a reserved ride where I need to go out to the boonies near Gambier, Ohio and take a rider to the bus station in Columbus, Ohio. Shower, get a travel mug full of coffee, and I’m off to the races. I step out into the thick fog and wonder where the skunk is that got my dog a few days ago. I gingerly get into the Prius so I don’t startle it. Can’t be to careful.
