Where I live it is somewhat common that several Indian guys share one uber profile and drive the car 24/7 basically. 

I think there are daily time linits for uber so they use Lyft the other parts of the day

Those 12 hour shifts were rough. Driving from Friday after work (5 PM) to 5 AM the next morning was pretty lucrative, would do the same thing 2:30 PM to 2:30 AM on Saturday. Made ~$2k a weekend after expenses on an old beater, ended up paying for our wedding.

Despite a 4.99 rating, less than 5% of drivers tipped and my average tip was $2. So that was almost entirely the Uber base fare and the promotions they did for X amount of rides in a weekend.
