Meet the “Founder”
I (Douglas Anderson) am a gig driver – originally from Montreal, and now based in Mississauga, Ontario. As a gig driver, I make decent money and enjoy my work. I drive passengers with Uber Rideshare, deliver meals with Uber Eats, and pick & deliver groceries with Cornershop. (I am also a registered active driver with Lyft, DoorDash, Skip the Dishes and Instacart. But most of my gig time is with the 3 Ubers – Rideshare/Eats/Cornershop.)
Why GigDrivers.ca?
Gig driving has plenty of challenges, risks & frustrations. Over the years, I found some help & encouragement reading various Facebook Groups for Uber drivers. However, in those groups I had to read through a lot of nonsense, small talk, bickering, complaints and misinformation to find the information that was truly helpful to me!
So I decided to launch a better alternative – GigDrivers.ca – a place where Canadian gig drivers can find reliable information and friendly encouragement. I set it up because I genuinely get joy from helping others succeed.
Hopefully GigDrivers.ca will be a great source of support & inspiration for the amazing family of gig drivers all across Canada. And hopefully people who are thinking about joining the gig driver family will find guidance to help them make a wise decision. Gig driving is not a good fit for everyone.

It’s easy to set up a shortcut to GigDrivers.ca on your smartphone’s home screen. This makes GigDrivers.ca feel like an app, and gives you instant access without needing a browser. You can even set up several different shortcuts leading to different sections. For example, one shortcut can be for the Gigapedia, so you can quickly access the excellent content. And Facebook makes it easy to place a shortcut on your home screen for any of the GigDrivers.ca Facebook Groups. (Just choose “Add to Home Screen” from the list of options at top right of your FB Group screen).
Android and Apple each have specific steps for quickly creating shortcuts, though it may vary slightly from one browser to another. Just google “how to create a web page shortcut on Android” (or iPhone). The various browsers usually have a menu item for this, so it only takes a few seconds to place an icon shortcut on your home screen.
(One day, we hope to launch a GigDrivers.ca APP that will make the process even easier!)
- How can I share an article on one of my social networks?
Our readers often like to share a Gigapedia article or a GigBytes blog with their friends. Most computer and smartphone browsers have a convenient share button, which will automatically forward the link to your preferred social network.
Also, throughout the GigDrivers.ca site, near the bottom of every page is a set of 4 social network links (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Email). These will make it easy for you to tell others about an article which you really like.
Don’t keep something good all to yourself!
