Income Potential
Commission. Paid by the ride. Amount depends on how far you are driving and how long the call is.
Conflict Management
“I would intimidate them and show I wouldn’t back down. I would use psychological warfare. Stand strong. Don’t take shit.”
Try to avoid conflict and remain calm at all times. The phone can deter a violent predator if he sees you on it.
Be ready to call emergency response teams.
Job Stresses
- Going to a call when there is supposed to be one client and there are ten.
- There is no medical plan. If you get shot, there is no compensation
Most Dangerous Aspect of Job
