The passengers had arrived in Texas on Sunday morning, and they were desperate to make a business meeting in Nashville at noon that Monday! Brent Pfieffer took the job, ready to meet the added challenge of a tight deadline. Three businesspeople from Hong Kong, China flew in to Texas, only to find that their flight to Tennessee had been hopelessly delayed and eventually cancelled–so they decided to take an Uber instead. But she said that she did it for the adventure, not the money! When time, food, and other expenses were taken into account, Janis calculated that she’d only made around nine dollars per hour. She even turned right back around and drove home immediately after dropping her passenger off at her destination in Brooklyn! Did you know? Remarkably, Janis drove this entire trip without stopping for a single bathroom break and said that she had no problem remaining alert while driving for long distances. In fact, once they met in front of a Ben & Jerry’s and she loaded up her suitcase, she curled up in the back seat and slept for the entire nearly eight-hour drive.
Janis commented that her passenger seemed tired and didn’t look too excited to see her boyfriend. Luckily for her, Janis decided to go the full distance! Janis didn’t get the woman’s name, but said that she’d simply asked to go as far north as an Uber would take her. Janis Rogers picked up a young twenty-something who wanted to take a long trip to see her boyfriend in Brooklyn. The vehicle that Joe Strandell drove on this trip was a Nissan Sentra. He also made more money from the trip than he expected to, and decided to go and see Hearst Castle before heading back. She wound up dozing off for most of the ride anyway!Īfter the long drive, Strandell was too tired to drive back home so he stayed the night in Mountain View to recharge. He says that, since he knew the ride would be four or five hours, he did his best to not disturb his passenger too much. Strandell called in to let someone know that he’d be gone for quite some time, and tried to be as polite as possible. However, when she said she’d call a different Uber if he couldn’t do it, he realized she was serious and accepted the trip. When Joe Strandell picked up a passenger in Santa Barbara, he was shocked to hear that she wanted to go to Palo Alto, thinking there must be some mistake. Starting Point: Santa Barbara, California
