[Magdalen] Uber or Lyft drivers?

[Judy Fleener]

my son has a huge mortgage and a nice car.  He is divorced and agreed to a
settlement that would allow his wife and kids to keep their current house.
He drive for Uber, works for UPS at Christmas (he is 50, not 25) and
manages baseball tournaments in the summer time on weekends.  He also has
his weekday job. If it OK with you, I'll send him your email address and
ask him to write to you about his Uber experience.  He lives in the
Nashville area.
