   5 years ago in  Uber Black/SUV Drivers - Thoughts on the new quiet mode?

  I agree with Momof4, the new preferences are all basic things that any decent driver should no within the first few seconds of the driver anyways. Always help with luggage, ask how they are and take your cues on whether they want to talk of not, play "bland music" like jack johnson, keep the car comfortable temperature wise (always air on the colder side instead of warm ) and you will be good to go!

  oh strange. So it is a way for them to hide what the customers are really paying so they can get away with lower bonuses paid out to the driver?

   5 years ago in  Sting on Uber drivers picking up street hails

  Right, we all know NOT to pick up street hails but if someone is offering you twice the fare amount it is hard to say no. I know many drivers who now personally know some of their frequent riders and they get paid on the side. It might not be right, but drivers have to do what drivers have to do to make a living wage.

   5 years ago in  Driver tried to pull a fast one

  This is a scam drivers can do but they will get in trouble if Uber notices they are doing it multiple times so it is not really all that common. AS LG-PA said we want to end the ride, get our money, and get to the next ride! It could have just been a mistake but either way Uber should reimburse you. Though sorry you will have to deal with Uber's terrible customer service...

   5 years ago in  All about the #1 course for Drivers, Maximum Ridesharing Profits

  I have bought this in the past and actually found it helpful. I was skeptical but my wife convinced me to buy it and they really do go very in depth on every topic. They also seem to update information as time goes on to fit Uber/Lyft changes which is helpful. In the end, I also enjoyed reading others comments and seeing collective answers to questions I didn't even think to ask. If you drive full time, I would definitely buy this at least for the resource.
