Every Pittsburgh partner helps provide thousands of users with safe and reliable rides every day of the year. Make no mistake about it, the success of Uber Pittsburgh is largely due to the result of the amazing driver partners who have worked very hard to move you around the city you love. This month, we hosted a Partner Appreciation Bowling Party event to say “thank you” to the wonderful driver partners that make getting to your destination seamless.
We want you to get to know some of the people behind the wheel. Meet Randall Woodtail, Alisa Lenhardt, Marvin Rawlins, and Cathy Brewer, and read why they chose to drive with Uber.
“I started driving with Uber because of a reference from an Uber client. She uses the product a lot and said she liked it. One of the good things about driving with Uber is the flexibility. I can choose whenever I want to do it. Pittsburgh is a great city for Uber. People are really excited, and they use the service a lot! I’ve been driving for two months already, and it’s just been great. Every time I drive, it’s like an interview because I have an accent and people want to know where I’m from. It’s fun talking to the people of Pittsburgh.” — Randall Woodtail
“I needed something I could do part-time and something that could make me a lot of money. I’m raising funds for a Honduras mission trip that I’m going on with my daughter. I’m also anonymously paying for another girl who couldn’t afford it. I’ve only been driving for 3 ½ weeks, and I’m almost done paying for the trip. I absolutely love Uber! I have three teenagers at home, so I’m glad I can have a flexible schedule that allows me to be at home with them. I’m making great money. I’m shocked! I think I’ll keep driving even after my Honduras trip. It just doesn’t make sense not to.” — Alisa Lenhardt
“For me, it’s very easy for me to make extra money. I like meeting people, so it’s a great match. I’m a real people person. I just like the entire setup, especially the fact that it’s cashless. It works perfect for me. And I brought her into Uber because it’s so great.” — Marvin Rawlins
“I’m retired and it’s a good way to make extra money because I didn’t want to be tied down to a 9-5pm. I’m a people person, always have been. It’s just something I think that makes sense for my lifestyle.“– Cathy Brewer
To all of our driver partners in Pittsburgh, we salute you for your loyalty!
