Tipping opportunities are more plentiful with food deliveries. You can align your working hours with meal-time rushes with Uber Eats, which can be slightly more predictable than regular Uber.

Can I file an insurance claim if my car’s wheel fell off and caused damage to my car?
After repairing my car's brakes, I went to the store and on the way home my wheel fell off. I had noticed a vibration just before and went to pull over, but it was too late. The wheel came off, causing thousands in damage. Will my insurance help cover the repair bill, or am I out of luck since there was not really a collision?
