Discount Ride to Host Big Hiring Event Tomorrow

On January 24th from 9am to 1pm, Discount Ride will be hosting a hiring event in Glendale with the aim of hiring 1,000 new drivers by the end of the day. With a current drivers list around 500, this job fair will triple the amount of available drivers on call for car service. 

The popular trend of Lyft and Uber ride-hailing apps continues to be on the rise and Phoenix-based Discount Ride is proving to be a solid competitor. Discount Ride first opened for customers in the fall of 2016 as a division of Total Transit and the business has continued to grow for the drivers. The general manager of Total Transit, Matthew Classen, shared that not only are there about 10,000 calls per day, but Discount Ride is also preparing to launch in Tucson as early as February.


All applicants must be over the age of 21-years-old with at least five years of driving history. Discount Ride does have a program for leasing vehicles; however, any four-door vehicle made after the year 2000 may be driven over to the hiring event for a free inspection. 

In comparison to the Lyft and Uber apps who only inspect your vehicle and driving, Discount Ride offers training and resources to all of their drivers to ensure that everyone in the company is prepared for any situation before they begin driving. Make sure to not miss out on this exciting opportunity to earn some money as a driver in the Phoenix and Tucson areas.
