Ever wondered what it's like to hit the road as a gig worker, navigating the twists and turns of minimum fares and tips during a blizzard? Buckle up for Episode 176 of the Gig Economy Podcast where we zoom into the heart of the gig economy, starting with Lyft's new minimum fare policy in the Twin Cities and the crucial lifeline apps like Telegram offer drivers during snowstorms. We'll also share tales from the trenches about the notorious complexities of 10-99 classification, tipping etiquette, and the customer service conundrums that come with delivering pizzas in the pouring rain.
Shift gears with us as we tackle the future of electric vehicles, with special mention of Hertz's decision that's sparking debates, and the advancements we're all anticipating in EV technology. But it's not all about the cars; we cap off this journey with a heart-tugging tale involving a missing dog and a DoorDash driver and pivot to an inspiring story about how one man's mission to save discarded scooters is turning trash into treasure. This episode is a rollercoaster ride through the ups and downs of gig life that guarantees both laughter and a deeper understanding of the increasingly popular world of freelance work.
