I chauffeur execs as a side hustle. I rely on their tips more than base pay to make money.

Marcus Thompson, a part-time chauffeur in Tampa, Florida, relies on tips for most of his earnings but finds that tips are often collected by the company rather than directly to drivers, unlike his previous job in New York. He earns about $10,000 annually from this gig, which is significantly less than his former income. Thompson is optimistic about a new chauffeur service where drivers may retain their tips.
