Sherry charges $50 a ride for her cruise shuttle service.
  • A Gen Xer ridehailing driver said she's been making more per day with her freelance shuttle business.
  • She works fewer hours and pulls in $50 a ride by finding clients on Facebook and word of mouth.
  • This comes after months of struggling to even earn $100 a day in eight hours for Uber and Lyft.

Sherry, 58, was driving upwards of 75 hours a week for Uber and Lyft, struggling to pull in $200 a day.

The Florida driver said that when she started six years ago she was easily earning that much working six to eight hours, but has struggled to reach that goal more recently.
