Ever felt alone while doing your gig job? Meet Philadelphia-based Uber driver and member of our telegram group, Frank - the man who finds joy in the solitary nature of his work. Tag along for the ride as we delve into his journey, from buying his first car to the accident that put it out of commission, and the switch to a rented Chevy Bolt EV.
Strap yourself in as we navigate Frank's unique insights into the world of ridesharing. If you thought this business was all about the destination, Frank is about to change your mind. From the self-defense tools he keeps on hand to adventures in Atlantic City, you’ll be gripped by his tales from the road. Furthermore, his stories - the good, the bad, and the downright weird - shed light on a side of the gig economy rarely experienced by the average commuter.
Don't miss out on this enlightening chat with Frank, where every story is a cue to rethink the way you approach your gig work.
