Interesting article in the LA Times.
Due to extenuating circumstances, some of these drivers have resorted to sleeping in their cars. At least one of them got a second job and is now able to afford a room in a boardinghouse in Hollywood, but before that he was sleeping in his car.
So, this vehicle that he’s paying $240 a week for and is being paid less [than a driver who wasn’t renting from the company] to drive is not just his income, it’s also his home. The difficult thing is that they’re just not making enough to save.
