For rideshare and gig drivers

You choose the hours, which is exactly why nobody knows them

Gig driving inverts the usual problem. Nobody assigns your hours, so there is no rota to photograph — and because they change daily and are decided by you, your family have even less to go on than a shift worker’s would.

The schedules this actually has to cope with

Freeish is built around these, not around a nine-to-five with the occasional exception.

Self-set hours

Decided day to day around demand, weather and everything else.

Peak chasing

Early mornings, evening rush, weekend nights — the profitable hours, which are also the social ones.

Blocks claimed ahead

For delivery platforms, blocks claimed in advance that fragment a day.

Open-ended finishes

Driving until a target rather than until a time.

What it sounds like at home

“Because I set my own hours, everyone assumes I am always free.”
“I drive the peaks, which are exactly when family things happen.”
“Nobody knows when to expect me because I do not decide until the day.”
“"Flexible" gets read as "available".”
“My partner cannot plan anything around me.”

Where Freeish fits

Put the hours in when you decide them, even a day ahead — visible beats vague.

Blocks claimed in advance can go straight in.

The people at home stop treating self-employment as permanent availability.

Days you deliberately keep clear are visible as clear, which protects them.

One week, start to finish

Ola, rideshare

Ola decides his week on Sunday evening and puts it in.
His partner can see the Friday and Saturday nights are work.
A protected Wednesday evening is visible as free, so it survives.
A claimed delivery block goes in as soon as it is claimed.
Nobody assumes he is available just because nobody assigned his hours.

Questions rideshare and gig drivers ask

Is this useful if I set my own hours?

Arguably more so. There is no rota for anyone to see, so unless you write it down nobody has anything at all.

What if I change my mind on the day?

Change the event. Everyone following sees it immediately.

Can I protect days off?

Yes, and it is worth doing. A day visible as clear is much harder for other people — and for you — to fill.
