Quick answer. Reliable income comes from a reliable routine. This checklist is drawn from cohort surveys of top-rated drivers; print it and tape it above the sun visor.

Morning (Before Starting)

Seven or more hours of sleep the night before.
Fuel above a quarter tank.
Tyres checked at a glance.
Vehicle interior clean (rear seat especially).
Phone at 100%; charger cable plugged in.
Water bottle; one healthy snack.
App earnings target for the day in mind.
Documents (licence, insurance, registration) in the glove box.

First Hour

Start in a known high-demand cluster.
Accept short rides early — they boost dispatch score.
Take two minutes between rides to reset posture.

Mid-Shift

Break every two hours of driving (minimum five minutes).
Hydrate and eat at scheduled breaks, not in the car.
Re-check fuel before committing to a long airport run.
Glance at earnings vs target — adjust effort, not hours.

Peak-Handling

Do not chase surge across the city.
Prefer multiple short dense-area rides to one long surge chase.
Confirm scheduled rides accepted for the evening window.

End of Shift

Final trip into a neighbourhood near home — avoids a dead run.
Record fuel receipts in a tracker.
Update mileage log.
Debrief: was anything odd? Flag in community chat.
Plan tomorrow's start location before sleep.

Weekly

Vehicle exterior wash.
Full interior vacuum.
Maintenance log update.
Earnings reconciliation vs target.
