Rideshare Rodeo Podcast (episode 491) Gig App Transparency: What DoorDash & Uber DON'T Show You (But Should) Are you a gig app driver or a customer using DoorDash or Uber? It's time to talk about complete transparency — something that's long overdue in the gig economy. In this video, we break down how drivers are often kept in the dark about their full payout, and why customers deserve to know exactly where their money is going. From hidden tips to vague service fees, the current system leaves both sides guessing. That's not just bad business — it's unfair. We call for: 100% transparency in driver offers – No more hidden tips or adjusted payouts after delivery. Detailed customer payment breakdowns – Customers should see exactly how much goes to the driver, how much is kept by the company, and what part covers fees. Real-time earnings info – Drivers deserve to know what they're accepting BEFORE committing to the job. Trust & fairness on both sides – When drivers and customers are informed, the platform becomes stronger for everyone. Whether you're hustling to make ends meet or just ordering lunch, you have a right to transparency. Drop a comment with your experiences as a driver or customer. Are you getting the info you need? Let's demand better from these platforms — together. Rideshare Rodeo Brand & Podcast: https://linktr.ee/RideshareRodeo

Today on the podcast, I'm joined by two incredible guests: Mike Hruby (https://x.com/venturemike1) and Kim Kavin (https://x.com/thekimkavin). Mike is a seasoned advocate for independent work and entrepreneurship, while Kim is a respected journalist and a passionate voice for freelancers' rights. Together, we dive deep into the alarming developments happening right now in New Jersey, where the state Labor Department has proposed a new independent-contractor rule that could drastically restrict the freedom of an estimated 1.7 million people who work as independent contractors, freelancers, self-employed individuals, and gig economy drivers for companies like Uber and DoorDash.   This episode unpacks what's really at stake. While the proposed policies are being framed as protections, what the proposed NJDOL rule states is that it will not create any jobs. The fear is that ICs get wiped out and are left with nothing. that would strip people of the flexibility, autonomy, and control that make independent work so vital. Mike and Kim explain how similar policy-making. has played out in other states, and why this movement could have nationwide implications. It's a critical conversation for anyone who values the freedom to choose how and when they work.   Kim Kavin: https://www.freelancebusting.com/ Mike Hruby https://www.newjobsamerica.com/   Rideshare Rodeo Brand & Podcast: https://linktr.ee/RideshareRodeo
