A Florida Uber driver who makes $3,000 a month to supplement her healing business said driving is fulfilling but a headache: 'I'm flying by the seat of the algorithm'

• Hiedi Handford, a medical consultant, supplements her income by driving for Uber in South Florida.
• Handford found strategic ways to maximize her earnings, though she only pulls in about $3,000 a month.
• Handford also drives for Jeevz, allowing her to drive luxury cars and get higher tips from riders.

Hiedi Handford, 57, has driven long distances for as long as she can remember. She drove 120 miles round trip over a mountain pass to get to and from work in Montana from her home in the same town where the Unabomber lived.
