No. Generally, the driver doesn't receive the destination information until after you're in the vehicle.
Some "UberPro" drivers are able to see the approx drive time to your destination beforehand, but that "perk" requires that you accept a very high percentage of your ride requests.
See RedAnt's comment. I will add that Uber will give you a an accurate time the trip will take if its over 45 min. In certain areas that I wait for rides and the time of day I can usually guess where the person is headed. If the trip is less than 45 min they do not show how long so no way to tell until rider is in your car and driver swipes "start trip".
