    You can set your own rate though? You can refuse as many trips as you want. If a trip is below what you want to be paid, refuse it. You’ll keep getting offers for more. You’re never under obligation to work.

    If you’re an employee, you’re required to work and can be fired for refusal.

      You can accept or decline their rate. That is not setting your own rate, fucking .world in the name and I just know I’m gonna be reading some deliberate misunderstanding chud shit.

      1. Someone who is not an employee can negotiate the fee per mile. You seem to think only accepting longer trips is the same.

      2. No, you can’t only accept longer trips. The system will punish a driver for attempting to choose which offers to accept, and drivers won’t learn the destination until the passenger is picked up.

        Well that’s different from food delivery, where you as the driver see the offer in dollar amount, restaurant location, and estimated time of delivery. You see a $20 delivery but it’s estimated to take 1.5 hours? Just refuse it.

        The system doesn’t punish you. You can refuse as many as you want and they just keep coming in.
