Nathaniel in Oregon solved the perpetual conflict between work and family. Nathaniel chose independent work over W-2 employment. Now his schedule is flexible, he has time for his family, and he has savings to draw on. Thank you, Nathaniel!

Larry in Kentucky blends work and caring for others. Larry has recently helped his parents, his wife, and "extended family members" deal with serious medical problems. His family relies on him. Since their needs change every day, his work schedule must flex, too. An employer can't rely on ANY of Larry's days being available. Instead, Larry uses multiple apps to find driving assignments that use his time effectively. Gig driving solves Larry's income and flexibility challenges. Thank you, Larry.

Then upload your statement to NewJobsAmerica and Rideshare Rodeo at https://upload.vloggi.com/projects/BYEX-002. We'll get your video message to Washington. Thank you, Shianna!

Larry in Bowling Green, Kentucky has recently helped his parents, his wife, and his "extended family members" deal with serious medical problems. His family relies on him.

Dave in Pittsburgh tells us how he got into driving with food delivery apps, how it went, and WHY he likes being independent. So many self-employers start BY ACCIDENT.
