  Yeah poach every pax as a private and pass out cards for your other business if you have one not selling candy or gum to a drunk.

   5 years ago in  What are ways Uber drivers make money besides driving?

  Nope, the idea is to drive people from A to B safely and that’s it. Other than poaching ever pax who gets in my car going to Lax and have business cards printed, I don’t want to sell anything in my car. If U/L didn’t cut the rates to 60 cents a mile, you wouldn’t be forced to peddle crap for money.

   5 years ago in  What’s the highest percentage Uber & Lyft has taken on a ride from you? Is it on short or long rides?

  My worst one was Lyft charging the pax 131 dollars to the pax for a 30 miles ride after PPZ and pay me 41 with a lousy $8 bonus, it's outrageous.

   5 years ago in  Do you treat driving for Uber & Lyft as a business? Do you keep detailed spreadsheets to find out if you’re making money?

  I've done detailed P&L statements from the first day I started driving, from three years ago to now two things have drastically changed, my gross earnings are down, my expenses are up, like gas, insurance and maintenance. Gig is dead!

  Shocked U/L can find all this fresh meat to grind.

   5 years ago in  Why do 70% of drivers quit driving for Uber & Lyft in less than 8 months?

  They figure out they beat their brains and cars to a pulp just to turn their remaining equity in their car to short term cash to pay their bills, most don't save any money to replace the 20k equipment they take to work.

  Happens all the time on both platforms, they even turn the app off after declining 3 requests in a row, so much for being an IC.

  We're not a mobile 7-11, come on UBER and Lyft, what else do we need to do other than drive pax around? Give $5 foot massages, we already play shrink listening to someone that we'll never see again. All for 60 cents a mile?

  I'm very sorry about what you've experienced. Rideshare drivers can write a book about their experiences and it would make a great book. Hang in there. What city do you drive in?

  Remember what you were thought as a kid, don't talk to strangers, don't get in their car? Hell no, feeling bad for waking them up? My car, my private space, 99% of the time they fell asleep in your car is because they passed out from being stupid drunk, hell no. I'm here to take you from A to B safely, don't get paid enough to baby sit you or watch you sleep.

  Yep, the gig is not what its made out to be for what it pays. The only leg left on rideshare table is left is the so called flexibility one and that's not even structurally sound any longer.

  Mostly it's pricing, it's all laid out in my article I wrote for Rideguru in the newsroom. They are applying the U/L business model to scooters, dump them into the market and hope for the best to grow top line at all cost. It's a broken model in rideshare, it's a broken model with scooters. Expansion at all cost will get you here, however, they are a 2 billion dollar unicorn on paper. Who cares about profits when someone is throwing money at you. I'd take it too.

   5 years ago in  Are passengers getting hurt by surge manipulation by the drivers?

  It is just Uber and Lyft getting all bent out of shape and trying to give the drivers a black eye, make us look bad in the public eye. How they're ripping the pax off by flat rate surge and PPZ is so much worse but come back and read my article next week in the Rideguru Newsroom.

  Damn, only $120? How long did it take to get rid of the stink? It definitely is not worth driving drunk hours any longer, definitely not in Los Angeles where the rates are 60/21.

   5 years ago in  Are passengers getting hurt by surge manipulation by the drivers?

  Of course it is not new but the MSM treated it like it is the plague. It has been going on since Uber & Lyft started. It used to be very effective when there were not enough drivers. In this day and age of over-saturated markets and algorithms, it is not possible. But that is not the point of the article, it is Uber getting upset, well the drivers wouldn't have to do any of that if they didn't cut the rates 8 times in the last five years to 60 cents a mile in most major cities.
