Retired LAPD • 10,000 Uber Rides • LA Stories You Haven’t Heard

Hello:

I’m Raymond E. Foster—retired LAPD lieutenant turned Uber driver. Over 10,000 rides, I swapped a badge for a steering wheel and uncovered the raw, funny, and heartbreaking stories of Los Angeles after midnight.

My new book, Chasing the Surge: Ten Thousand Rides into the American Night, just dropped—a raw, darkly comic ride through LA’s midnight streets. It’s a memoir where heartbreaks, reinventions, and late-night weirdness collide—gritty, hilarious, and deeply human, one ride at a time.

The book’s here: https://amzn.to/4ne8O3O

Best,
Raymond
