I signed up as an Uber driver almost a year ago, and still haven’t accepted a fare. I’m not entirely comfortable with picking up random strangers when Uber leaves a driver no recourse other than to be a willing victim. I guess I could get back at a carjacker by giving him a bad Uber rating. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I am, however, starting a new job in the next few days as an independent contract driver for another company that is neither a taxi nor a ride-sharing business. I’ll be driving most of the time by myself, and sometimes along with another employee. There’s no written company policy about carrying a firearm. A friend of mine who works for this company and who carries, helped me to get the job, and he says that several others also carry. Nobody who works there talks about it, and I won’t mention the company's name publicly, so as to not poke the bear.
