Gosh, so many holier than thou drivers here, claiming "they would be happy to wait." Why can't we be honest? I absolutely hate waiting around and I know many other drivers do too.
I get whopping $0.15 a minute and that's before Uber takes its 25% cut. (Maybe it's better in other cities.) That's like $6 an hour, lower than minimum wage. I hear other drivers saying it's better than not having a passenger, but it sucks compared to when we are driving a passenger.
We get paid the most while driving and the vehicle moving. On a busy night, this kils productivity and earnings. If I sat around all night waiting for people picking up their dates, I wouldn't be able to earn a living.
Please just complete the trip and order another one. That isn't that hard, right? Booking fee is like $2 to $3.
Totally depends on when and where. I hear in the suburbs this works out pretty well. Not like the boonies but a bit outside the city in a populated areas. No problem parking, plenty of participating restaurants, and medium distance trips. (remember, we like longer trips.)
I have never seeen anything in the threes. In fact, I don't think I've ever seen anyone lower than a 4.5 Man.
Can you imagine a driver with a 3.90? Would you ever want that? I mean, 3.90...that means this dude has consistent problem with his rides. He must be a total douchebag. or just in his nature to treat the driver poorl?
Time to ban this guy.
I didn't even think twice that this may be illegal. My car (house) my rules. amirite?
250 is nothing. I've had a 450 cargo x2 once. I know because they laughed and told me so. Tipped well, but not sure if it had anything to do with their weight.
I will add that they didn't wear seat belts. Maybe I should have said something but I didn't wanna offend. Not sure if they would have fit.
You say the company but the clean up fee goes to the passenger, right?
Yeah, not looking to make a living cleaning up people's puke. There's also the aspect of lost wage while I clean it out and drive around until the smell desipates.
This is indeed a rampant problem. I have seen little kids, not even teenagers, who request a ride. I show up and there they are. Ready to go wherever. Some look like 8 or 9. (third grade?) I often tell them no and cancel. I actually do put it as the reason for why I am cancelling.
I get it. With taxis you can. (I think.) I get it. It seems safe as there's no cash involved and you can track their routes. ...but it puts the driver in a very awkward spot.
I actually did try to use Fasten as much as I could because for each trip the earning was higher than Uber. They only charged $1, and no frills.
They had surge pricing too. Imagine the amount you make if you get a good surge and only pay $1!!
I drive for Lyft and I can vouch for this. It's crappy. This happens often after a no-show from a customer who is pissed I couldn't find him. I feel like once the rider has been cancelled, the switchboard should stop working immediately, but they seems to get through all the time.
Same here. I just dump them occasionally at the local Uber lounge. I have no idea what they do with them, but it's off my mind that way. I'd like to think every item foudnd its way, but it's most likely just in a big dumpster behind the Uber building.
