“Of course the ideal time is to do rides on the game day weekends here in Athens; you can do a handful of rides and go home with a couple hundred bucks. Spend several hours driving around the city and you’re making a decent amount of cash,” says White.

“White tends to call it quits when he’s taken a few rides back home after the bars have deemed it closing time at 2am.” (Photo/Maris Castang)
“I enjoy driving for both Lyft and Uber, says White. It’s something I can do along with my other day job when I have spare time...I can choose when and where I want to work so it’s not stressful on me.” (Photo/Maris Castang)
“White waits for an evening pick up right outside of Pauley’s where several University of Georgia sororities are celebrating the success of Greek Grind, a philanthropy event by Sigma Delta Tau.”

“White says that other successful nights include those where bands are in town playing at the Georgia Theatre on the corner of Lumpkin and Clayton.”Just the other week Rainbow Kitten Surprise was playing and that drew a huge crowd which meant more rides for us”
