Sam Ames Shuttle

History

If you've called for an Uber ride in Ames within the past year, there's a good chance Sam Nac came to get you. Since he moved to Ames last year, Nac has made countless Uber and taxi trips in the area with his white SUV emblazoned with Uber logos, a rear LED sign and his cell phone number emblazoned on his windshield. Originally from Thailand, Nac came to the United States and took on various jobs, including driving limousines. He was working in a Storm Lake restaurant when he first heard about driving for Uber. He applied online and spent a few weekends driving in Ames to test his revenue and made somewhere between $300 and $400 in a weekend.
