The Rideshare Guide

April 15, 2018
Campbell, a former engineer who began driving for Uber and Lyft before founding TheRideshareGuy.com?a website, blog, and podcast?has been featured in various media outlets for his expertise on the subject. In his first book, he relays how to become a ride-share driver and maximize one's work opportunities doing so. Campbell presents the different levels of company policies and city laws as well as how to manage one's finances as a ride-share driver. This is a quick study, though there's a danger that some information could easily become outdated due to the very nature of the relatively new and rapidly evolving ride-sharing economy. Readers who want to learn more about the sharing economy; current trends in technology, labor, and transportation; or how these ride-share applications work will find useful information here. Frequent customers and drivers of these apps may also be curious about the emerging companies competing for business with Uber and Lyft and how these companies are developing new strategies for success.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2018, American Library Association.)
