I Had A Flat Tire With A Passenger- My Car Was Out Of Service - Got No Response Nor Help From Uber - I Called For My Towing Service To Help - State Police Also Called For A TowTruck To Help- No Ubers Would Help- I Called My Wife To Take Passenger And Grandson Home - I Terminated Uber Trip - Wife Took Uber Riides Home- She Came Back And Got Me Forty Minutes Later- I Tipped Out TowTruck Drivers(2) and Went To Where They Ttok My Truck - Paid $216 For My Tow! What Should I Have Done And What Now?

Refusing customers who don’t want to go the long way from Plattsburgh NY to Burlington, VT - how do I tell them nicely?
Tire was stuck underneath the rear hatch of the Tahoe and there was no way to loosen it. I called Uber Support after I could not find any other options on the App - closest I could find was Crashed Vehicle. I tried to get help from Uber but they were out of service where I was. I called my Insurance’s assistance line and they sent the tow truck to the wrong location even though my passenger and State Police heard me give correct location. Then NY State Trooper called another wrecker and they came within half an hour while the trooper sat behind us making sure cars did not get too close. My wife drove over 60 miles round trip taking my passenger and her grandson home and Uber says ‘That was nice!’ I had to pay $216 out of pocket for my tow and today paid $266 for a new tire and rotation. Now, Uber won’t let me work until their ‘team’ reviews everything!Ugh! Thanks for the help LG-PA! Pray for me !😊
I agree with you FlutterShy! I think that you are nice too! Thank You!
Hi Felicity, Goodideasll (Lou) , here again, just watching some basketball and catching up on my industry reading - not gonna disparage RedANT or his opinion but we all have problems and I completely believe you were in the right. Yes, you may not be perfect, (only my Wife is!), but your driver was over the top wrong and aggressive and I still apologize on behalf of all of us. If I am wrong, I know that you will let me know - okay, I know that is very sarcastic but I also know that RedANTand MOMOF4 are good people, so, like every good story, we shall endeavour to carry on! GoodNight and God Bless! And GOOD LUCK!
Thank You Mom(MOMOF4)! You Are Always There For Us! You Are The Special One! I call my Mom Everynight and Listen but You Go Out Of Your Way To Help All Of Us! Thank You!!!!!
Been waiting NINE MONTHS for an answer - guess we’ll never know!🤷🏽♂️
Yes, I usually accept all pings and then get upset later when I feel as if I was metaphorically screwed!🙂PS My Mom’s middle name is Mae and my Dad called her Maisie for 61 years! 🙂Thanks! You made me smile!🙂
Thanks DDominico- I was gonna say, “Whatchu talking about Willis?” - that 20 min , 1 mile scenario just happened to me about 2 weeks ago AND Uber sent me down the wrong street for an extra 5 minutes. Drove the lady about 1.2 miles and headed back toward Plattsburgh - a 35 mile trip and about an hour for $8.00 ! Thanks Uber!😊How do you know to turn down these kind of pick-ups except for turning down ALL pick-ups more than ‘X’ amount of minutes away?
Happy Mother’s Day Mom!😊Hope You Have A Wonderful Day!😊
Hi bBerman81, I wanted to work too but one of the things I have learned by being old (58, 18 years older than I ever imagined I would be!), is that, I can live with my conscience a lot better by stepping back and trying to do the right thing. Not gonna judge those people out trying to earn, they’ll figure out what’s right and wrong - all on their own! Thanks bBerman, Good Luck To You!🙂
Thank You BGraft89! I think you hit the nail right on the head !! Personally, I think that Uber and whoever took my money are full of crap - they just took my money, no details, nothing correlates to any of my rides and all they say is that I took the wrong rider somewhere, sometime! (And they NEVER respond to any of my queries!) Plus, every time they promised me reimbursed money, they reneged on their word and never paid me and then blamed the first tier clerk whom they say promised me money erroneously - BIG FAT LIARS! Thusly, I Place no faith in anything Uber says and does and just wrote off the $5.27 they took from me! Other than that, I Love working for Uber! PS I think Momo/Mom is pretty Awesome! Thanks again BGraft!🙂
Hi Mom, Lou here!😊I must have had a few cocktails when I first responded to your kind posts on here - but at the time , I thought your handle was Momo and I still think of you like that! Do you remember ‘Get Shorty’? I don’t think you look like that but I just like the name ‘Momo’! Is that okay ? PS I took off from driving yesterday, for the ‘cause’, and coincidentally Uber gave me my first chargeback of $5.27 on a $7.92 fare that they say I picked up the wrong person - even though the ride they gave me that they deducted from was 4 hours later! Go figure! 😊Hope You and Yours are well!😊
Thanks DFosterG11! No, need to be sorry, I saw exactly where you were going after reading my post! You are very kind! Thank You!👍
Very true Stuffin, well said!😊I have found that on my best days I am far from perfect but on my really bad days - there is definitely a lot of room to be much better! If that makes any sense!😊Plus, I think all of us , as humans, understand that most of the time, we are all , very bad, but hopefully, we all try to be good or at least nice!👍
Hi Joseph, you may be right! Thanks for the insightful thoughts! It has been my experience that trying to get my rides to match up with where I want to go has been very hit-or-miss, usually miss - so eight hours to get half an hour as the crow flies by your calculations may be about right !👍
Wow! Are All ‘people’ at Fox this mean and insulting and generalizing as this ‘person’? I was taught that if you don’t haven’t something nice to say about someone - then don’t say it. Guess there would be a lot of dead air- oops! Have A Nice Day!👍
Thank You DFosterG11! Thank you for the picture of the big rig cab but what I meant was where the truckers park their rigs to sleep. I was thinking that there may not be many 76 Truck Stops in San Francisco. Thank you though, I guess I’m old, their weren’t any sleepers like that back in 1980!😊
Where do the long distance truck drivers sleep?
Now that I recall, with California traffic, maybe they’re just coming up the Camino Real from San Mateo?😊
How do you make yourself block it out? Eventually I have to look at it and if it has dropped I then start wondering - and then I get supremely annoyed - pissed off! Does anybody else get annoyed at this - you try everything in your arsenal to get a smile or a kind word out of somebody and they completely stonewall you. That’s okay but then when we ride along in silence, and I wish them a ‘very happy day’ at journey’s end, somehow I think they’re gonna take their crappy mood out on me with a low rating, even though it’s not my (our) fault!
I read the article, very interesting but the article did tell us drivers were coming from Modesto and even Sacramento, both cities less than two hours away. I would have liked to read what person would drive eight hours to get to San Francisco and from where. I don’t believe that - there has to be a large city a lot closer to them than that. Guess we’ll never know! Anybody have any guesses?
