MILWAUKEE — Gas prices have reached $4 in some places, forcing many delivery and ride share drivers to reconsider how they're approaching the job.Jared, who did not want to share his last name, is a full-time Lyft driver in Milwaukee. He thought he'd enter the ride share business for about a year or so.
"I've grown kind of weary of fending for myself," Jared said."You don't get benefits, take care of your own taxes, and I'm tired of wearing down this car.""It's definitely a contributing factor and it doesn't look like the prices are going to stabilize anytime soon," said Jared. The national average is now $4.10 a gallon. AAA says the highest prices are likely to stick around for months.
