A lot of people talking about Uber, so I'll mention that with Uber, you use your own vehicle. That vehicle loses value the more you work for Uber with it. Uber is extracting that value from your vehicle and using it to profit from.

Uber, Doordash, etc should be paying for the depreciation of every vehicle they use, as well as fuel usage.

Why should they be on the hook for it? Shouldn't the per mile/minute rate that they pay the driver already theoretically covers it.

It doesn't.

Source? Uber's rate for san francisco ($0.91 per mile) is way above the IRS's standard mileage rate, which is only $0.625 per mile. I'm sure that there are ways to make your costs exceed that (eg. if you get a short dated lease, or an expensive car), but that seems like the driver's problem than uber's problem.

Then don't work for Uber, Doordash, etc?
