One of the hazards of working as a rideshare driver is that you are always in your car.
Because of this, there is a tendency to eat out.
Interviews with rideshare drivers revealed the following daily habits:
- Many paid upwards of $8 a day for breakfast.
- Lunch meals could cost close to $10 dollars.
- Dinner meals were easily $10 to $15 dollars.
A national study from CreditDonkey shows the typical American spends about $1,200 on fast food annually. That breaks down to $100 a month and roughly $12.50 spent per meal.
But the average rideshare driver spends $20 to $30 dollars per DAY on food!
Depending on how many days a rideshare driver works each month (and many work at least 25 days a month) that equals:
$625 to $900 dollars each month on their food spend.
But it gets worst!
Statistics show that many rideshare drivers use $100 dollars a day as their income goal. But when you subtract the average daily cost of $30 dollars for gasoline that makes their daily take only $70 dollars.
Working 30 days a month and earning $70 dollars a month equals $2,100 dollars. When you subtract $625 (on the low side) that makes their monthly income only $1,475.
That’s a $17,700 dollar a year income.
(Sadly, food delivery drivers tend to earn even less).
According to Census.Gov an individual income at poverty level would be $18,225 a year!
This number doesn’t take into account:
- Monthly car note.
- Insurance.
- Wear and tear on the vehicle.
