NEW YORK -- Seven months ago, Douglas Straebler put a plastic box filled with snacks in the car he drives for rideshare companies Uber and Lyft. Since then, he has made hundreds of dollars in extra income.
"On a five-mile ride, I might make $5 from the ride, but as much as $24 selling snacks," he said. "I've had nights where I've added $100 in pure take-home cash."
