Introducing the Work Hub, a new way for drivers to find essential work
Summary
With fewer people moving during COVID-19, drivers have fewer trips available and are earning less, prompting the introduction of Uber’s Work Hub. The hub brings together ways to find work with Uber and other companies, including one-tap access to Uber Eats delivery requests where available, signups for Uber Works shift jobs, and priority eligibility screening for Uber Freight for drivers with a Class A Commercial Driver’s License. It also connects drivers with external opportunities from companies hiring during the period, including Domino’s, Shipt, and CareGuide, alongside links to other job postings. Uber says it will continue adding partnerships and listings, and directs drivers to check the Driver app regularly for updates.
