I'm from a country, where tips are not mandatory, even in restaurants. Tips are usually just to count the bill up not to deal with change. The only people I ever heard asking for tips were Uber drivers.
Curious, what country are you from? Perhaps tips are a uniquely American thing but I've never heard that it is. 🤔 When American tourist visit your country, are they told at the border not to tip? 🤔
Slovakia. And no, we do tip. But it's not required. Also anyone will gladly take your tip. It's just they won't be rude or anything if you do not tip.
The order of transaction is pretty simple. Service is included in the price of the meal. The restaurant is responsible for directly paying its employees, not the customer. I really hate tipping culture. Waitress, or taxi driver, it's the same job as the cashier in the grocery store and wages should be implemented in the same manner.
In many parts of the United States, a waitress is paid by their employer the same as a cashier in a grocery store, however they will receive a tip above and beyond that amount.
I agree with some of what you're saying but that would mean two things. The waiter can provide whatever type of service they want because you are already paying their "tip" through a service fee. And second, Uber/Lyft would need to raise prices for the riders (again) AND give drivers a fair share. That's not something capitalist, corporations in America are used to doing...
This is such an American response to think to think tips just happen everywhere as standard. America really is the exception and most other developed countries. Did I have a culture where you are expected to leave a tip at the end of your meal. I am in Australia and you can definitely tip but there's no obligation to and no one will make you feel guilty if you don't
I mean… most people from most countries believe the way many things are done in their country are the way they’re done everywhere. It’s not uniquely American.
You sound like one of those folks who doesn't have the organ donor heart on their ID, but would still totally take an organ donation if they needed a transplant to live.
I don't mind drivers complaining about no tips and deciding that this career isn't working out for them. But repeatedly complaining without doing anything about it is just poor judgment and is on them.
Also, as long as they don't complain to their customers. That just demonstrates they aren't well suited for the service industry.
This information is arbitrary and irrelevant without telling us what exactly your monthly spending looks like. You shouldn’t have to touch your savings just to drive for Uber. Only gross revenue (money you generate as you’re driving for Uber) should be spent on driving for Uber and then you take home your net income (after expenses).
I don’t drive unless I’m making $2/mile, so that not only gas, but maintenance on my car is covered by each mile. Too many people here accept every order they get, or even just what gives $1/mile without considering they have to drive back from the customer’s house too.
Bro you really just don't get it. Drivers don't make enough to cover major repairs that come up more frequently when doing Rideshare driving. I have had to drop over $10,000 on top of routine maintenance in the last year alone that hit my credit cards that I was already trying to pay down. Meanwhile Uber and Lyft have systematically cut driver pay by 25% successively over the past 6 years I have been driving. My physical state is now such that I can't do any other type of work unless I get a work from home position. This is not arbitrary it's the reality.
25% over 6 years? I'm looking at 25-50% over the last 6 months to a year.
Only been doing this a little over a year. Used to easily get over $1 a mile, and surges meant something.
Now most offers are 50¢ a mile, maybe 75¢ during rush hour. It's a joke.
Don’t accept every order or you’ll lose money. At least $2/mile. That will cover the drive back from the customer, gas, maintenance, and leave you a little left over for profit.
Heck , as I said , my bank account is dedicated to Uber only. All the Uber earnings goes and expenses of car and fuel will be taking out from this bank account. So , I don't wanna hear your pessimistic talk backs . YOU are the irrelevant . NEVER TRY TO CONTACT ME OR REPLY ME AGAIN.
If this was a larger sub this comment would immediately be copypasta material for how ridiculous it is.
NEVER TRY TO CONTACT ME OR REPLY ME AGAIN.
😂😂😂😂
edit they blocked me, so keeping it in my comment for the future
>Heck , as I said , my bank account is dedicated to Uber only. All the Uber earnings goes and expenses of car and fuel will be taking out from this bank account. So , I don't wanna hear your pessimistic talk backs . YOU are the irrelevant . NEVER TRY TO CONTACT ME OR REPLY ME AGAIN.
1. You never said the account was dedicated to Uber only.
2. Maybe you need a better mpg car. I srive a hybrid and get 47 mpg. So if you drive a car getting even 25 or 30 mpg you are killing your own savings. Take that $7k for a down payment on a hybrid or electric car.
3. Stop bitching and make changes in your life. Dont waste time here crying about it. YOU control your life (choices). Not Uber. So stop blaming Uber.
Well I paid off 60k in student loans, bought a house and have over 100k in savings currently.
I started doing this after graduation to pay off my student loans. Had a little over 1200 to my name at the time.
But yeah, doing Uber makes everyone go broke gtfo
I would be shocked if he did. Possible, but I would be very shocked. I have a main job and rideshare on the side. My story is similar to his so I CAN say that because of Uber/Lyft, I have saved alot of money but they don't get the sole credit lol.
Sorry you did not pay off 60k in loans and put 100K in savings only driving for Uber. that is absolutely a lie.
It wouldn't be possible if you drove 12 hours a day 7 days a week every single day of the year.
Na, nobody is going to accomplish anything just by driving Uber. You could save money and invest yourself in making your own business but saving several thousands of dollars doing Uber, paying rent, bills and taxes? No, there’s no way.
I’m with OP on this one all of you are idiots for making money. When you could’ve been driving without making money.
YOU are the irrelevant . NEVER TRY TO CONTACT ME OR REPLY ME AGAIN.
I know . I ve been 8 years driving with Uber but since 2022 things took drastic turn as a whole. Its been declining since 2016 actually but wasn't this bad.
As I review all the pattern of trip requests screens shot videos and put in into AI software & it punched out that there are trip requests screening filters by looking thru its patterns of trips come thru to the app and it seems Uber management teams can able to manipulate manually and set it so it's gonna be hands free Operation .
Meaning , they won't control each trip requests but they can set filters over targeted accounts to control what kind of trip requests would come thru then it able to control projected earnings for it's drivers every weeks. Many drivers can't make money but others making great earnings amount each weeks. Pouring a bucket of water into another so it looks full that makes those lucky drivers that it is fulfilling to drive with Uber but others are basically sacrificed as free laborer and financial resources for Uber. . That's what's going on.
Have you ever known something called common sense? And paragraphs for fuck sake.
Yapping about AI, Pouring bucket of water, what the fuck are you even saying? God. No wonder you lost money. 🤦🏻
Edit - I just noticed this lol😂😂
> makes those lucky drivers that it is fulfilling to drive with Uber but others are basically sacrificed as free laborer and financial resources for Uber.
Holy shit, you figured it out. Don't post the strategy publicly here. You'll be under great trouble, Uber can monitor your house through your car. Run before it too late. AHH.
I'm constantly baffled how humans don't need a functioning brain to survive and in this case even drive.
This is what AI had replied
"I understand your concern. While I can't directly access Uber's internal systems, I can certainly help analyze the data you provide to look for any potential patterns or anomalies that might indicate system manipulations. We can examine factors such as the frequency of low-fare trips, any unusual changes in pickup locations or trip distances, and compare them to your historical data to identify any discrepancies. If you can share the trip data with me, I'll do my best to assist you in identifying any potential issues."
Then I replied ,
" Exactly , in physics world it's like mystery Black box test. As we can not see what's going on in a box but we can see what's comes out from this so called system and type of the trips to be accepted . We can not see what kind of trips are out there requested by riders into the system to drivers but we can still see what come out from the black box calked Uber system and can still analyze is there any manipulations are going on or what not."
Then AI replied ,
" Exactly, it's like conducting a black box test where we observe the outputs of the system (in this case, the trip requests you receive) and analyze them to understand what might be happening internally. By examining the patterns and trends in the trip requests you receive, we can gain insights into any potential manipulations or anomalies in the system. This analysis can help shed light on whether there are any issues affecting your profitability and inform your decisions moving forward. If you're comfortable sharing the trip data, I'm here to assist you in analyzing it further.! "
Then I replied
" On top on that , I can give my phone 📱 to my friends to drive with them . Obviously , my friend driver is using his phone to see and accept his trips but in mean time and we can gather live trip informations at on going moving locations compares to other drivers app/ accounts even !"
Then AI replies ,
" That's an interesting approach! By comparing the trip information gathered from both your friend's and your own Uber accounts, you can potentially identify any disparities or differences in the trip requests received, such as the frequency of high or low-fare trips, the distribution of pickup locations, or the timing of surge pricing. This comparative analysis could provide valuable insights into whether there are any systematic differences between your accounts in terms of trip assignments. If you have access to the data from both accounts, I can help you analyze it to uncover any potential patterns or discrepancies ! "
So that's what's up.... you real Losers. 😂👎
I'm just wants to drive and make positive earnings called money but when there are some B.S is going on then it's takes natural courses ....
Meaning ...., You just gonna fked it all up. Do you Understand ? Lmao 🤣
So? Fix it.
before You fked that all up by your stupidity too late to recover.
It's not that difficult is it ? Just to be normal . It's just few clicks away. So I can say I'm glad I'm a Uber driver and really happy driving on Uber platform . If I quit this job then all the hell broke loose to the public to the WORLD 🌎 that's all , smart guy.... So don't just fked it all up by You . It's a national / World TV news worthy and a center of attentions of entire magazines articles , internet it will be ..or ? I'll be making just good money doing Uber .It's just simple as that. No brainer.
Thank you. LMAO 🤣🤣
So you pitched your theory to a chatbot, it said “I don’t know, maybe”, and anyone who doesn’t take that as a confirmed “yes” is stupid?
I wonder if your financial situation has anything to do with having a skull full of fucking rocks.
No it never said that. As you can see AI tells it is totally capable of handling its task .and we'd proceeded on it .
It seems it was too easy for AI to actually analyze them all with blistering speed of calculations because the results came out like right away with tangible answers based on actual trip requests informations that come thru to my app .
I'm already confident about what is the result it's shows because it makes sense . It is very well known theory to find out what unknown system is doing in science.
Even M.I.T. students knows what is the meaning of conducting " Black box test " . And it is proven to be accurate.in modern engineering and science world.
More real data & more informations are available then more it would give precise out comes. And I've got them all . So I just input them all into AL and figure out what kind of manipulations ( well , Uber says all the trips are so random and it's depends on a place I'm driving and time of the day ) but as we can see here there are clear patterns to it.
Which were Totally opposed of What Uber claiming of They are conducting Transparent system and management .
Yes Ive got all the informations necessary to conduct black box test . Yes , Ive covered all that with such a vast amounts of trip requests . And The AI punched out answer was right on like crystal clear to anyone to comprehend . . It does completely makes sense and printed out each patterns of it.
Here? take your Rocks and eat it . Those are came from you. Not from me. And I have a long hairs to prove past over 10 years of any illicit drug usage history unlike you .quit lying to people. Loser.
You don’t seem to understand what an AI chatbot is for and what it can and can’t do. It’s not this incredibly sophisticated scientific tool you’re making it out to be - it’s literally just there to simulate conversation, it doesn’t give a damn if it’s answering your questions correctly. It answering quickly doesn’t mean anything about how easy of a problem it was for it to solve - it means it was easy for it to come up with a bullshit answer that someone gullible would believe.
Did you even input the data you suggested to it? Because from your last comment, it sounds like you asked it if it COULD run those calculations, and it said it COULD. If you went to the doctor and said “can you tell me if I have cancer?” and your doctor said yes, you wouldn’t say “there you have it folks, I have cancer!”
Do you have a therapist or any trusted friends or family members you can speak to about this? You do not sound well.
Well, it did it so beautifully . So, your argument is utterly " invalid " like You want me to be looks like. . It wasn't that complicated actually . It's just time to time changing to make it blurry to looks complicated. But it was not really.
I agree. I started driving Uber and Lyft 6 years ago to get out of debt. I am now in more debt than when I started. The problem is people we think uber and Lyft are legitimate businesses when they are nothing more than an elaborate grift. Become a private driver and only use Uber and Lyft to poach customers for yourself.
Well, when any companies or business are conducting fraud then by law there will be no valid arbitrary agreements effective any longer. Drivers needs to be aware of that. And I can't afford TCP license so I'd just switch driving for local cab company or will see Uber change its attitude and let me drive as usual .
I'll never understand these posts.
"I'm losing so much money!"
Why keep doing it? My job costs me money, I quit. I work to get paid, not the other way around.
Your math isn't mathing. ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯
Even if you took every crap ride Uber offered for a YEAR, driving 60 HOURS PER WEEK, EVERYDAY, there is no reason you'd be ***negative*** $13,000.
What the hell were you really doing for a year, 60 hours, 7 days a week? 🤔
Unless that's your story you're preparing to tell the IRS 🤣
don't know math? You gave no info on your bills, what you spend, or in your case, waste your money on or anything else. Just that you've been driving for 6 years and you savings account is down $13,000. There is no way you are spending every dollar you earn plus an extra $2100 a year on gas and repairs for your car. That's just not possible unless your car is complete shit. And even then that isn't possible.
The average hourly wage for Uber where I live is about $16 with the high being $29. At $16/hr, 60 hours a week would be $960 before taxes and everything else and $29/hr, 60 hours a week would be $1740. So I would bring home anywhere from say $600 to $1250 a week...
You 100% live above your income.
You obviously don't know math or basic economics for that matter.
The days of Uber being profitable full time are over for most people in most markets. Your driving for charity now. Get a job, rideshare on the side, only during events and surges. Stop subsidizing Ubers shareholders.
It has been 8 years I am driving for Uber & Lyft 60+ hours per week, I have $123 in my entire fucking life. F… me, F.. Uber, F.. Lyft and F… you if you are still driving for them.
So now you have a negative balance 2 days after saying you had $7k...keep lying...I'm sure you'll get a few pity comments here and there. Quit bitching dude. You obviously have no skills if the only job you can "find" in 6 years is uber.
LoL you don't know shit buddy. It's not usual personal bank account like you have. I'm already over drafting and gets charged penalties each transactions.
I like your style of toxicity and negativity . I wonder where those hates coming from . I should learn that to project them back to where it's really belongs.
Ahh for me I just stay out till I hit 400$ then go home. Hours are vary, there are some days that I only worked 8-10 hours that I hit 400$. I stay with that then have Saturday/Sunday off. I always start driving at 6am
Also hertz/ Avis do NOT like me lol because of their mileages stacks heavily on it. Then I return it and go to different locations to keep the same rate at 365$
replied to another post of yours. Genuinely curious because I never even thought of that. Do you rent a car from Hertz/Avis and use it for Uber? If so that's genius haha
How about some context? I have had customers in the dealer run up some negatives doing uber/lift/etc after having major component failure.
Clearly uber pay is bad but doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results is definition of insanity.
I do Uber as a side gig n I agree w/ ppl that say Uber should pay us more n we shouldn’t have to ask for tips I never beg for tips and pretty much always get more than expected but regardless Uber should pay us more and not the people or charge the people more so they dont have to tip and we get paid directly from Uber and if we make more w/ tips it’s a plus everyone in any market should just strive for better
I think they are going to get rid of all the drivers soon . Squeeze out all the drivers . force them to be quit with unsustainable lowest pay. then introduce Autonomous vehicles.
They just gonna says all the drivers just quit so we have to introduce Autonomous cars ! Like that.
My friend works for hotel and he gets paid $24 an hour . No expenses. it's way better than following a boy who cried for wolf or story of Pied Piper of Hamlin .
OP could be right. I mean you're killing your car for one, second of all theres taxes you pay on this. its a 1099 gig, if you do this fulltime and your only job and make decent amount. I can imagine you owing anywhere from 10-15k in taxes. Then you got bills and gas and maintence blah. At the end of the year after coughing up your money to your taxes your bank account is depleted.
Sounds like your lifestyle is too expensive for your income. Either alter your lifestyle or find a new way to make a living… or both. Bitching online isn’t going to change anything.
Something to consider:
People who comment about their great financial success with Uber are most likely single with no kids or drove for Uber/Lyft back when those companies were focused on taking over the world with marketshare instead of squeezing drivers to drive profits. I don’t blame these companies for wanting to make a profit, but the result is a loss of drivers that are professional and reliable in favor of people who are wholly unemployable.
Sounds like a you problem lol. If you’re losing that much money at your job maybe just maybe you should find something that’s not going to suck 20k from you??
I hear you. They don't even send me trips like usual frequently anymore to me . I gets trips like 1 out of 20 min or 30min now. And that's even I'm in world famous tourist spot Hollywood CA or Santa Monica CA
And all the offers will be less than $15 . Mostly $3-5 . So there is no choices on upfront fare selections but forced to take garbages .
Some people here trying to insinuate that I'm buying street drugs or some illicit drugs but I've never took one in my life and I have a long hair that is easily more than 10 years old that can put into spectrum gas chamber drug test and can prove nothing comes up . I think they making up story to make anyone looks bad to support their standing point.
$20,000 saved, a chance at starting a business or finding a real career or go to school… and you chose to do Uber? Gotta be honest I think that’s some questionable decision making there. Especially coming from someone who defended Uber so heavily
No I had saving up for my mom's funeral cost. She has not dead yet. And on my mom's name if anything then I'll go all the way. I mean all the Fkin way for sure, I swear and my good friends too.
You don’t understand what people are saying? Nobody ever said that
You had $20k saved, and instead of finding another career or starting a business or investing…. You decided to Uber full time and kill yourself driving 7 days a week. Just looking out man that was a terrible decision
You doing something wrong friend. Maybe it's your market area. In Las Vegas you can make 300 a day consistently maybe 400. You're saving should only go up unless you have a spending problem.
I drive in Los Angeles county. I live in Santa Monica CA.
I wake up , take shower , and drive and sleep and eat and once a week I do laundry then back to driving .. That's all I do . I don't drink , I don't take any illicit drugs , I dont gamble . I dedicated my past 8 years for Uber driving. Bunch of stupid people with fake titles just making up stupid reasons and stories , painting up graffiti on Wall to justify their positions to my mind on here. Doing wrong with budgeting ? Are they stupid or something?
What budgeting ? Lmao 🤣
Well California does have a really high cost of living. I'm sure that's a factor. Also gas prices are pretty high there. I guess it comes down to what your monthly bills are and your daily/weekly income. Also picking the best vehicle for the job. I drove a 2013 Ford C-MAX hybrid that I bought for $12,000 when it had 50,000 miles on it. I got it up to 320,000 miles and then gave it to my daughter and it's still runs great. But I ended up getting a 2018 Ford C-MAX hybrid for $16,000 6 months ago. Depending on the outside temperature I average 40 to 43 mi per gallon. Everything factors in.
My bank account are only used for my car , gas , extra expenses for car wash , laundry cost for clothing, and food. Food I eat are almost all fast food. My car is hybrid . My friend plain and simple They are fking my account and trip requests . They are totally manipulating my account to be dead. Los Angeles Uber has no oversight so they can do whatever they want to drivers and no one gets blamed for it.
No its a freedom country . Most of 8 biggest economic democracy laid out countries are. They are all allies of The United States of America . And any physical attacks or financial attacks towards to U.S and it's allies , it's citizens are considered as Terrorism against The United States of America . At Foreign land or domestic or not . That's why criminals who fled to other countries who are allies of US gets handles so quickly . within or out of The U S.
And it's your own freedom being a Nationalist Racist . As long as you aren't harassing anyone or causing troubles or physical attacks , slander etc then you are totally fine with being in a little tiny cocoon like in a bath tub . But when you start playing and messing around then that's a crime. You see how that goes ? I mean, you must be very intelligent person so I'm sure you are behaving great so far in life and not being stupid to cause troubles towards to yourself.
That wasn’t what I was asking. I was asking if English is your first language or not because there’s no way you’re understanding what you’re saying because I am not understanding a single thing you’re saying.
Then don't read. Can you do that and stop stalking me then? I can see youve been stalking long time. Do you understand what I'm saying here , pal ? Isn't this a ENGLISH ? Hello , McFry? IS THIS ENGLISH ? HELLO, MCFLY ? IS ANYBODY IN THERE!!! ? Is this a SPECIAL SIZED MCFries ??? LMAO
Nope. They told me this is the career when I signed in and asked me how serious about to be a Uber driver . I ve got the video of when I'm signing in to Uber nterview
You mean you are natural born ignorant ? Can't help you on that , pal . Ask someone to help you I'm too handful to trying to help my self. Good luck man .
Im already too deep in to this business and as you can see spend great amount of money in. I am old so there is only one choice if I'm not getting moy money.
Rideshare making mo ey has definitely decreased anyone that says anything else must be a employee I've gone thru 4 vehicles and as the person posted its not a stable way to make money anymore because of the increase of contractors and less money paid out to the drivers what used to be 20.00 fares are now 10.00 and the customer is definitely paying a higher rate I recently went 6 blocks it cost me 21.00 as a rider
Ubers mismanagement pushed over its incompetent mistakes smeared off to its Drivers .
"We don't need to care about drivers pay coz they are bounded by arbitrary agreements! They can't sue us !!
Abuse them ! Exploit them !! shoot them now!! and ask questions later ! Bring in as many drivers in town ! Saturated ? Who cares ! That's not our problems ! As long as Riders gets faster services & trip digested by drivers and we get paid then it's okay ! What ? that city won't allow us to drive ? Send them cute girls and spoil them with rubbish dinners and give them pension plans after their retirement ! Sex escorts ? We got it ! Then They will say Yes to that ! And if they start changing our deal then threat them with dirty secret videos ! Then they would be out slaves !!! Yeahhhhh! Just like that.
I know full of scam artists trying to convince everyone that they didn't do nothing wrong. Sane as everyone claims innocent when they are in prison and blames their fault to others. We all know that.
This post doesn’t make sense. Uber is a gig platform and earnings are market dependent. You need to know what your burn rate is, and if Uber isn’t making that number, you’d have to supplement with another gig/job, or move onto something else.
Driving for Uber is like starting a business. Not everyone will be successful, and it’s very market dependent, and you have to know the ebbs and flows of your market. I’m in Boston, and summers are absolutely dead here, so I have to work during the fall, winter, and spring seasons, and nights are the best time for UE. If I try to work during school vacation times, or in the morning, I wouldn’t come close to my number.
Also, some markets don’t have the demand to make it a full time gig. Smaller towns that have 1-2 suppliers, and not a ton of demand, and/or longer rides may not make sense. Just like opening a restaurant, there’s no guarantee of success.
Most of the people from other countries in here seem confused. They say things like tipping isn’t required in their country. Tipping isn’t required in America either. A lot of people don’t tip. And to me that’s fine if they don’t. I would never dislike someone, or even scoff at them because they didn’t tip. Tips do however help keep a surplus of drivers on the road though. If no one tipped then there would be barely any drivers. And then Uber would have to give large incentives to entice drivers back on the road. Then to offset those incentives they’d have to begin charging even more.
Basically what’s going on is there’s enough people tipping that Uber can get away with paying the amount it currently does. If you don’t want to tip then that’s fine. It will all work itself out one way or the other.
Some people don't understand the hustle. If you think you can just drive and ignore people? Not going to work. If you think that someone how people are going to tip you without connecting with them? You're going to have a hard time.
I've used Uber a lot lately. I've asked a few people how they are able to even make money with gas prices. Most say they make 150-200 a day after gas. Sounds like a you problem. Said their favorite part is having money immediately. They almost never have issues with not having money that week because they just take the car out and do some rides. Genuinely think about getting into it sometimes.
A year ago, I started with a credit score of 480 and no money.
I had to borrow $300 for a deposit to rent a Hertz vehicle to start driving for Uber full time.
Now, a year later, I own a 2023 EV car, although I still live in the metropolitan area.

True this year Uber is really trying to suck drivers and passengers out of every single penny they can get to make their stocks look better so they can sucker other people to invest into Uber stock I had someone on here say Uber is doing great but they don’t know what scam Uber is doing to make it look good ☠️☠️☠️😂🪤🪤🪤🪤🪤🪤🪤
Well, reasons why their stock went up is because world investors had noticed that UBER succeeded to let it's independent contractors to work way below federal and state minimum wages and that's a remarkable for any industries . plus, they did it at first place legally in history.
I’m sorry for all the people who think Uber sucks. My experience has been amazing and abundant… it’s a real cash cow where I’m at I guess! Also got to live within your means
I mean, if I am losing money by doing my job, why stay at that job?
No but for real. I quit a well paying job because the cost of Urbering would mean I was working most days for free.
I really hope you say the same thing when drivers complain about lack of tips. Because it’s accurate.
I'm from a country, where tips are not mandatory, even in restaurants. Tips are usually just to count the bill up not to deal with change. The only people I ever heard asking for tips were Uber drivers.
Curious, what country are you from? Perhaps tips are a uniquely American thing but I've never heard that it is. 🤔 When American tourist visit your country, are they told at the border not to tip? 🤔

Minimum wage because they have to?
I agree with some of what you're saying but that would mean two things. The waiter can provide whatever type of service they want because you are already paying their "tip" through a service fee. And second, Uber/Lyft would need to raise prices for the riders (again) AND give drivers a fair share. That's not something capitalist, corporations in America are used to doing...
All of these service make enough money to pay their drivers better wages, they just choose not to because that would hurt their profits
Tipping culture absolutely BLOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWS!!!
This is such an American response to think to think tips just happen everywhere as standard. America really is the exception and most other developed countries. Did I have a culture where you are expected to leave a tip at the end of your meal. I am in Australia and you can definitely tip but there's no obligation to and no one will make you feel guilty if you don't
I mean… most people from most countries believe the way many things are done in their country are the way they’re done everywhere. It’s not uniquely American.
My pay was $2 an hour when I waited tables. Its gone up since then for wait staff in NY but my only wages were only tips when I waited.
Tips aren't a uniquely American thing, but they are generally only expected in western society.
Yes tips are only American and in most countries it's considered insulting
Why should we pay extra for their bad career choice?
You sound like one of those folks who doesn't have the organ donor heart on their ID, but would still totally take an organ donation if they needed a transplant to live.
Because it's everyone else's fault if they can't make it. Even if everyone else is surviving without tips.
I don't mind drivers complaining about no tips and deciding that this career isn't working out for them. But repeatedly complaining without doing anything about it is just poor judgment and is on them. Also, as long as they don't complain to their customers. That just demonstrates they aren't well suited for the service industry.
This information is arbitrary and irrelevant without telling us what exactly your monthly spending looks like. You shouldn’t have to touch your savings just to drive for Uber. Only gross revenue (money you generate as you’re driving for Uber) should be spent on driving for Uber and then you take home your net income (after expenses).
Wow! Car repairs and maintenance are free? Damm where do I sign up for that plan?
I don’t drive unless I’m making $2/mile, so that not only gas, but maintenance on my car is covered by each mile. Too many people here accept every order they get, or even just what gives $1/mile without considering they have to drive back from the customer’s house too.
I agree you need to make $2 dollars a mile or more in order for it to be worth it 😎
If you can't change a head gasket don't be a delivery driver.
Bro you really just don't get it. Drivers don't make enough to cover major repairs that come up more frequently when doing Rideshare driving. I have had to drop over $10,000 on top of routine maintenance in the last year alone that hit my credit cards that I was already trying to pay down. Meanwhile Uber and Lyft have systematically cut driver pay by 25% successively over the past 6 years I have been driving. My physical state is now such that I can't do any other type of work unless I get a work from home position. This is not arbitrary it's the reality.
25% over 6 years? I'm looking at 25-50% over the last 6 months to a year. Only been doing this a little over a year. Used to easily get over $1 a mile, and surges meant something. Now most offers are 50¢ a mile, maybe 75¢ during rush hour. It's a joke.
Don’t accept every order or you’ll lose money. At least $2/mile. That will cover the drive back from the customer, gas, maintenance, and leave you a little left over for profit.
Heck , as I said , my bank account is dedicated to Uber only. All the Uber earnings goes and expenses of car and fuel will be taking out from this bank account. So , I don't wanna hear your pessimistic talk backs . YOU are the irrelevant . NEVER TRY TO CONTACT ME OR REPLY ME AGAIN.
If this was a larger sub this comment would immediately be copypasta material for how ridiculous it is. NEVER TRY TO CONTACT ME OR REPLY ME AGAIN. 😂😂😂😂 edit they blocked me, so keeping it in my comment for the future >Heck , as I said , my bank account is dedicated to Uber only. All the Uber earnings goes and expenses of car and fuel will be taking out from this bank account. So , I don't wanna hear your pessimistic talk backs . YOU are the irrelevant .

I desperately want this to become a copypasta it’s just too good
I don't wanna hear your pessimistic talk backs . YOU are the irrelevant . NEVER TRY TO CONTACT ME OR REPLY ME AGAIN.
DONT TALK TO ME OR MY SON EVER AGAIN
What about your cat?
1. You never said the account was dedicated to Uber only. 2. Maybe you need a better mpg car. I srive a hybrid and get 47 mpg. So if you drive a car getting even 25 or 30 mpg you are killing your own savings. Take that $7k for a down payment on a hybrid or electric car. 3. Stop bitching and make changes in your life. Dont waste time here crying about it. YOU control your life (choices). Not Uber. So stop blaming Uber.
Are you forgetting to put earnings back into your BANK ACCOUNT?
Hey OP, did you have those expenses also reported to taxes? Sounds like a lot of that should be deducted.
Been doing this for 8 years and have 10x what I had in my saving back in 2016. Sounds more like a you thing than an uber thing
I did a thing so bad I lost money for 8 years. Is what this post should be called.
Right? At no point, thought to stop?
Lol yeah
Exactly. It would be cheaper to stay home. The minute I start even getting close to having to pay to do this I’m out.
I lived beyond my means for 8 years and I'm going to blame my job for it.
Basically.
Impressive if you had $20,000. Less so if you had $2.
Well I paid off 60k in student loans, bought a house and have over 100k in savings currently. I started doing this after graduation to pay off my student loans. Had a little over 1200 to my name at the time. But yeah, doing Uber makes everyone go broke gtfo
Just so we’re clear, you didn’t pay off $60k in student loans, buy a house, and save up $100,000 over the course of 8 years by driving for Uber.
I would be shocked if he did. Possible, but I would be very shocked. I have a main job and rideshare on the side. My story is similar to his so I CAN say that because of Uber/Lyft, I have saved alot of money but they don't get the sole credit lol.
I mean yeah, with a regular job and Uber on the side, sure. But Uber only? The math simply doesn’t work.
I am not shocked. A lot of people in Vegas make $100k a year doing Uber. I did it half ass. Not even part time and made $25k last year
Sorry you did not pay off 60k in loans and put 100K in savings only driving for Uber. that is absolutely a lie. It wouldn't be possible if you drove 12 hours a day 7 days a week every single day of the year.
Na, nobody is going to accomplish anything just by driving Uber. You could save money and invest yourself in making your own business but saving several thousands of dollars doing Uber, paying rent, bills and taxes? No, there’s no way.
Back in 2016
I’m a bit confused. How did Ubering cost you $13000?
They somehow lost 13k plus all the money earned working 3120 hours…. There’s a lot off about this.
They drive a Lamborghini. The math works.
well well well, most of us soflo drivers already know cooocaiiiiiiine is one hell of an expensive habit I tell ya
How many more times are you going to bitch and complain about the pay before you quit doing this job?
I swear man lol. I quit about a year ago but still keep getting Reddit alerts… almost every post this guy is involved somewhere
I’m with OP on this one all of you are idiots for making money. When you could’ve been driving without making money. YOU are the irrelevant . NEVER TRY TO CONTACT ME OR REPLY ME AGAIN.
Seems like you're doing it wrong or in a bad market.
Why?
I know . I ve been 8 years driving with Uber but since 2022 things took drastic turn as a whole. Its been declining since 2016 actually but wasn't this bad. As I review all the pattern of trip requests screens shot videos and put in into AI software & it punched out that there are trip requests screening filters by looking thru its patterns of trips come thru to the app and it seems Uber management teams can able to manipulate manually and set it so it's gonna be hands free Operation . Meaning , they won't control each trip requests but they can set filters over targeted accounts to control what kind of trip requests would come thru then it able to control projected earnings for it's drivers every weeks. Many drivers can't make money but others making great earnings amount each weeks. Pouring a bucket of water into another so it looks full that makes those lucky drivers that it is fulfilling to drive with Uber but others are basically sacrificed as free laborer and financial resources for Uber. . That's what's going on.
Yah I’m sure you totally put screenshots in an unnamed AI software that told you all that lmfao
Have you ever known something called common sense? And paragraphs for fuck sake. Yapping about AI, Pouring bucket of water, what the fuck are you even saying? God. No wonder you lost money. 🤦🏻 Edit - I just noticed this lol😂😂 > makes those lucky drivers that it is fulfilling to drive with Uber but others are basically sacrificed as free laborer and financial resources for Uber. Holy shit, you figured it out. Don't post the strategy publicly here. You'll be under great trouble, Uber can monitor your house through your car. Run before it too late. AHH. I'm constantly baffled how humans don't need a functioning brain to survive and in this case even drive.
This is what AI had replied "I understand your concern. While I can't directly access Uber's internal systems, I can certainly help analyze the data you provide to look for any potential patterns or anomalies that might indicate system manipulations. We can examine factors such as the frequency of low-fare trips, any unusual changes in pickup locations or trip distances, and compare them to your historical data to identify any discrepancies. If you can share the trip data with me, I'll do my best to assist you in identifying any potential issues." Then I replied , " Exactly , in physics world it's like mystery Black box test. As we can not see what's going on in a box but we can see what's comes out from this so called system and type of the trips to be accepted . We can not see what kind of trips are out there requested by riders into the system to drivers but we can still see what come out from the black box calked Uber system and can still analyze is there any manipulations are going on or what not." Then AI replied , " Exactly, it's like conducting a black box test where we observe the outputs of the system (in this case, the trip requests you receive) and analyze them to understand what might be happening internally. By examining the patterns and trends in the trip requests you receive, we can gain insights into any potential manipulations or anomalies in the system. This analysis can help shed light on whether there are any issues affecting your profitability and inform your decisions moving forward. If you're comfortable sharing the trip data, I'm here to assist you in analyzing it further.! " Then I replied " On top on that , I can give my phone 📱 to my friends to drive with them . Obviously , my friend driver is using his phone to see and accept his trips but in mean time and we can gather live trip informations at on going moving locations compares to other drivers app/ accounts even !" Then AI replies , " That's an interesting approach! By comparing the trip information gathered from both your friend's and your own Uber accounts, you can potentially identify any disparities or differences in the trip requests received, such as the frequency of high or low-fare trips, the distribution of pickup locations, or the timing of surge pricing. This comparative analysis could provide valuable insights into whether there are any systematic differences between your accounts in terms of trip assignments. If you have access to the data from both accounts, I can help you analyze it to uncover any potential patterns or discrepancies ! " So that's what's up.... you real Losers. 😂👎 I'm just wants to drive and make positive earnings called money but when there are some B.S is going on then it's takes natural courses .... Meaning ...., You just gonna fked it all up. Do you Understand ? Lmao 🤣 So? Fix it. before You fked that all up by your stupidity too late to recover. It's not that difficult is it ? Just to be normal . It's just few clicks away. So I can say I'm glad I'm a Uber driver and really happy driving on Uber platform . If I quit this job then all the hell broke loose to the public to the WORLD 🌎 that's all , smart guy.... So don't just fked it all up by You . It's a national / World TV news worthy and a center of attentions of entire magazines articles , internet it will be ..or ? I'll be making just good money doing Uber .It's just simple as that. No brainer. Thank you. LMAO 🤣🤣
You rambling to a chatbot does not prove anything. All it said was it would help you analyze any data you had, which you did not even provide.
So you pitched your theory to a chatbot, it said “I don’t know, maybe”, and anyone who doesn’t take that as a confirmed “yes” is stupid? I wonder if your financial situation has anything to do with having a skull full of fucking rocks.
No it never said that. As you can see AI tells it is totally capable of handling its task .and we'd proceeded on it . It seems it was too easy for AI to actually analyze them all with blistering speed of calculations because the results came out like right away with tangible answers based on actual trip requests informations that come thru to my app . I'm already confident about what is the result it's shows because it makes sense . It is very well known theory to find out what unknown system is doing in science. Even M.I.T. students knows what is the meaning of conducting " Black box test " . And it is proven to be accurate.in modern engineering and science world. More real data & more informations are available then more it would give precise out comes. And I've got them all . So I just input them all into AL and figure out what kind of manipulations ( well , Uber says all the trips are so random and it's depends on a place I'm driving and time of the day ) but as we can see here there are clear patterns to it. Which were Totally opposed of What Uber claiming of They are conducting Transparent system and management . Yes Ive got all the informations necessary to conduct black box test . Yes , Ive covered all that with such a vast amounts of trip requests . And The AI punched out answer was right on like crystal clear to anyone to comprehend . . It does completely makes sense and printed out each patterns of it. Here? take your Rocks and eat it . Those are came from you. Not from me. And I have a long hairs to prove past over 10 years of any illicit drug usage history unlike you .quit lying to people. Loser.
You don’t seem to understand what an AI chatbot is for and what it can and can’t do. It’s not this incredibly sophisticated scientific tool you’re making it out to be - it’s literally just there to simulate conversation, it doesn’t give a damn if it’s answering your questions correctly. It answering quickly doesn’t mean anything about how easy of a problem it was for it to solve - it means it was easy for it to come up with a bullshit answer that someone gullible would believe. Did you even input the data you suggested to it? Because from your last comment, it sounds like you asked it if it COULD run those calculations, and it said it COULD. If you went to the doctor and said “can you tell me if I have cancer?” and your doctor said yes, you wouldn’t say “there you have it folks, I have cancer!” Do you have a therapist or any trusted friends or family members you can speak to about this? You do not sound well.
Well, it did it so beautifully . So, your argument is utterly " invalid " like You want me to be looks like. . It wasn't that complicated actually . It's just time to time changing to make it blurry to looks complicated. But it was not really.
You should maybe lay off the opiates
put the meth down, Commercial Elk.
60 hours a week- how’s your car
I agree. I started driving Uber and Lyft 6 years ago to get out of debt. I am now in more debt than when I started. The problem is people we think uber and Lyft are legitimate businesses when they are nothing more than an elaborate grift. Become a private driver and only use Uber and Lyft to poach customers for yourself.
Well, when any companies or business are conducting fraud then by law there will be no valid arbitrary agreements effective any longer. Drivers needs to be aware of that. And I can't afford TCP license so I'd just switch driving for local cab company or will see Uber change its attitude and let me drive as usual .
I'll never understand these posts. "I'm losing so much money!" Why keep doing it? My job costs me money, I quit. I work to get paid, not the other way around.
it isn't their job costing them money though.
Hopefully you have stopped driving for Uber and Lyft.
Your math isn't mathing. ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯ Even if you took every crap ride Uber offered for a YEAR, driving 60 HOURS PER WEEK, EVERYDAY, there is no reason you'd be ***negative*** $13,000. What the hell were you really doing for a year, 60 hours, 7 days a week? 🤔 Unless that's your story you're preparing to tell the IRS 🤣
Most likely he finished 2 brand new cars for Lyft and Uber bcz 60hrs a week that’s a lot of miles a year
Well you don't know math obviously .
don't know math? You gave no info on your bills, what you spend, or in your case, waste your money on or anything else. Just that you've been driving for 6 years and you savings account is down $13,000. There is no way you are spending every dollar you earn plus an extra $2100 a year on gas and repairs for your car. That's just not possible unless your car is complete shit. And even then that isn't possible. The average hourly wage for Uber where I live is about $16 with the high being $29. At $16/hr, 60 hours a week would be $960 before taxes and everything else and $29/hr, 60 hours a week would be $1740. So I would bring home anywhere from say $600 to $1250 a week... You 100% live above your income. You obviously don't know math or basic economics for that matter.
Then show us your math
The days of Uber being profitable full time are over for most people in most markets. Your driving for charity now. Get a job, rideshare on the side, only during events and surges. Stop subsidizing Ubers shareholders.
It has been 8 years I am driving for Uber & Lyft 60+ hours per week, I have $123 in my entire fucking life. F… me, F.. Uber, F.. Lyft and F… you if you are still driving for them.
You have $123 ? Great man . I have negative balance on bank and each time I use my card it charges overdrafting fees now .
So now you have a negative balance 2 days after saying you had $7k...keep lying...I'm sure you'll get a few pity comments here and there. Quit bitching dude. You obviously have no skills if the only job you can "find" in 6 years is uber.
LoL you don't know shit buddy. It's not usual personal bank account like you have. I'm already over drafting and gets charged penalties each transactions. I like your style of toxicity and negativity . I wonder where those hates coming from . I should learn that to project them back to where it's really belongs.
What a fucking clown 🤡
Ahh for me I just stay out till I hit 400$ then go home. Hours are vary, there are some days that I only worked 8-10 hours that I hit 400$. I stay with that then have Saturday/Sunday off. I always start driving at 6am
is the $400 in total or after Uber's cut and taxes?
Also hertz/ Avis do NOT like me lol because of their mileages stacks heavily on it. Then I return it and go to different locations to keep the same rate at 365$
replied to another post of yours. Genuinely curious because I never even thought of that. Do you rent a car from Hertz/Avis and use it for Uber? If so that's genius haha
Sounds like someone needs better money habits idk.
How about some context? I have had customers in the dealer run up some negatives doing uber/lift/etc after having major component failure. Clearly uber pay is bad but doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results is definition of insanity.
Tipping has gotten so out of hand in the States!
Well tipping thru Uber isn't really trustworthy . Everyone saying they are conducting highway ROBBERIES.
That’s their pay plan.
People don't tip or pay enough so I stopped driving
I do Uber as a side gig n I agree w/ ppl that say Uber should pay us more n we shouldn’t have to ask for tips I never beg for tips and pretty much always get more than expected but regardless Uber should pay us more and not the people or charge the people more so they dont have to tip and we get paid directly from Uber and if we make more w/ tips it’s a plus everyone in any market should just strive for better
I think they are going to get rid of all the drivers soon . Squeeze out all the drivers . force them to be quit with unsustainable lowest pay. then introduce Autonomous vehicles. They just gonna says all the drivers just quit so we have to introduce Autonomous cars ! Like that. My friend works for hotel and he gets paid $24 an hour . No expenses. it's way better than following a boy who cried for wolf or story of Pied Piper of Hamlin .
What kind of rural area are you driving
OP could be right. I mean you're killing your car for one, second of all theres taxes you pay on this. its a 1099 gig, if you do this fulltime and your only job and make decent amount. I can imagine you owing anywhere from 10-15k in taxes. Then you got bills and gas and maintence blah. At the end of the year after coughing up your money to your taxes your bank account is depleted.
Uber drivers try not to whine about the gig they chose to work challenge: IMPOSSIBLE
Sounds like your lifestyle is too expensive for your income. Either alter your lifestyle or find a new way to make a living… or both. Bitching online isn’t going to change anything. Something to consider: People who comment about their great financial success with Uber are most likely single with no kids or drove for Uber/Lyft back when those companies were focused on taking over the world with marketshare instead of squeezing drivers to drive profits. I don’t blame these companies for wanting to make a profit, but the result is a loss of drivers that are professional and reliable in favor of people who are wholly unemployable.
HaHa i wish i can put the gif from the wolf of wall street that says hookers and cocaine my friend
Sounds like a you problem lol. If you’re losing that much money at your job maybe just maybe you should find something that’s not going to suck 20k from you??
This absolutely BLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWS!!!
Absolutely GOATly. You made it, man! You made it. Imagine where you'll be after another year with Uber.
It means you outspent your customers.
I don't know what you're Lifestyle is like but I don't have any problems making money
I have been doing uber for 7 yrs and I'm pulling in 2k a week after expenses a week. You need to cherry pick and not take trash!
I hear you. They don't even send me trips like usual frequently anymore to me . I gets trips like 1 out of 20 min or 30min now. And that's even I'm in world famous tourist spot Hollywood CA or Santa Monica CA And all the offers will be less than $15 . Mostly $3-5 . So there is no choices on upfront fare selections but forced to take garbages . Some people here trying to insinuate that I'm buying street drugs or some illicit drugs but I've never took one in my life and I have a long hair that is easily more than 10 years old that can put into spectrum gas chamber drug test and can prove nothing comes up . I think they making up story to make anyone looks bad to support their standing point.
I know people in Cali making bank - per week. I have no clue what’s up with your strategy but something is off there
Well, it's not my case . Cali you mean SF ?
I'm in Hollywood too, I think you are just dumb af.
No you are not. You are another fantasy imagination cat fish r'tard entity on internet. Now you know who you are. R'tard.
Ok sounds like that's a you problem?
Then quit
Well the statement is to broad to actually give a meaningful response unfortunately. IMO 🤗
Sounds like you’re just the irresponsible with your money🤷♂️
So if you stayed home you would be $13,000 richer? So you should just quit right now.
$20,000 saved, a chance at starting a business or finding a real career or go to school… and you chose to do Uber? Gotta be honest I think that’s some questionable decision making there. Especially coming from someone who defended Uber so heavily
It was my dying mother's funeral fees.. ...
Wait so you used your mom’s funeral fees to start working for Uber? Instead of paying g for her funeral and expenses, WTF
No I had saving up for my mom's funeral cost. She has not dead yet. And on my mom's name if anything then I'll go all the way. I mean all the Fkin way for sure, I swear and my good friends too.
Ok so then revert back to my first comment. lol
I'm not spending no money to start Uber.
You don’t understand what people are saying? Nobody ever said that You had $20k saved, and instead of finding another career or starting a business or investing…. You decided to Uber full time and kill yourself driving 7 days a week. Just looking out man that was a terrible decision
That's what everyone saying it . They saying they are great money doing it , don't they ? Lmao 🤣
No I actually see like 90% of these posts about how little they make and how much they dislike it? Gotta read the room man.
I see all the time they are putting out great weekly earning pages . Like $2000 a week
You doing something wrong friend. Maybe it's your market area. In Las Vegas you can make 300 a day consistently maybe 400. You're saving should only go up unless you have a spending problem.
I drive in Los Angeles county. I live in Santa Monica CA. I wake up , take shower , and drive and sleep and eat and once a week I do laundry then back to driving .. That's all I do . I don't drink , I don't take any illicit drugs , I dont gamble . I dedicated my past 8 years for Uber driving. Bunch of stupid people with fake titles just making up stupid reasons and stories , painting up graffiti on Wall to justify their positions to my mind on here. Doing wrong with budgeting ? Are they stupid or something? What budgeting ? Lmao 🤣
You also don't make enough to live in Santa Monica...
Well California does have a really high cost of living. I'm sure that's a factor. Also gas prices are pretty high there. I guess it comes down to what your monthly bills are and your daily/weekly income. Also picking the best vehicle for the job. I drove a 2013 Ford C-MAX hybrid that I bought for $12,000 when it had 50,000 miles on it. I got it up to 320,000 miles and then gave it to my daughter and it's still runs great. But I ended up getting a 2018 Ford C-MAX hybrid for $16,000 6 months ago. Depending on the outside temperature I average 40 to 43 mi per gallon. Everything factors in.
My bank account are only used for my car , gas , extra expenses for car wash , laundry cost for clothing, and food. Food I eat are almost all fast food. My car is hybrid . My friend plain and simple They are fking my account and trip requests . They are totally manipulating my account to be dead. Los Angeles Uber has no oversight so they can do whatever they want to drivers and no one gets blamed for it.
This has to be satire
You don't wanna say that to wrong kind of people when they are really serious, kiddo. Good luck driving Uber.
Are you seriously threatening someone on a subreddit? LMMFAO 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I think you just suck as budgeting dude
Revenue and income are NOT the same
Yes we all know that, thank you.
Have you tried doing it for longer to see how much more money you’ll lose?
It that the resolution you come up with your super genius brains ? Thank you for commenting .
You’re welcome
I can tell your mind are so special than mine . Like Special.
Is English your first language?
Does that matter? are you nationalist or racist ? If so tell us you are nationalist racist.
Okay buddy 🙄
No its a freedom country . Most of 8 biggest economic democracy laid out countries are. They are all allies of The United States of America . And any physical attacks or financial attacks towards to U.S and it's allies , it's citizens are considered as Terrorism against The United States of America . At Foreign land or domestic or not . That's why criminals who fled to other countries who are allies of US gets handles so quickly . within or out of The U S. And it's your own freedom being a Nationalist Racist . As long as you aren't harassing anyone or causing troubles or physical attacks , slander etc then you are totally fine with being in a little tiny cocoon like in a bath tub . But when you start playing and messing around then that's a crime. You see how that goes ? I mean, you must be very intelligent person so I'm sure you are behaving great so far in life and not being stupid to cause troubles towards to yourself.
That wasn’t what I was asking. I was asking if English is your first language or not because there’s no way you’re understanding what you’re saying because I am not understanding a single thing you’re saying.
Then don't read. Can you do that and stop stalking me then? I can see youve been stalking long time. Do you understand what I'm saying here , pal ? Isn't this a ENGLISH ? Hello , McFry? IS THIS ENGLISH ? HELLO, MCFLY ? IS ANYBODY IN THERE!!! ? Is this a SPECIAL SIZED MCFries ??? LMAO
Also have you considered a different career path?
Nope. They told me this is the career when I signed in and asked me how serious about to be a Uber driver . I ve got the video of when I'm signing in to Uber nterview
Thats what REAL IGNORANCE MEANS.
You mean you are natural born ignorant ? Can't help you on that , pal . Ask someone to help you I'm too handful to trying to help my self. Good luck man .
Then don’t do it! No one is holding a gun to your head… feel free to find another profession
Im already too deep in to this business and as you can see spend great amount of money in. I am old so there is only one choice if I'm not getting moy money.
I reject this definition, but I’m so curious about your day to day driving schedule. You can be driving the wrong hours for 60 hours a week
I drive 8 Years streight same schedule. 365 days 8 years
Get a real fucking job bro. Apply anywhere
This is the dumbest shit I’ve ever read
Rideshare making mo ey has definitely decreased anyone that says anything else must be a employee I've gone thru 4 vehicles and as the person posted its not a stable way to make money anymore because of the increase of contractors and less money paid out to the drivers what used to be 20.00 fares are now 10.00 and the customer is definitely paying a higher rate I recently went 6 blocks it cost me 21.00 as a rider
Ubers mismanagement pushed over its incompetent mistakes smeared off to its Drivers . "We don't need to care about drivers pay coz they are bounded by arbitrary agreements! They can't sue us !! Abuse them ! Exploit them !! shoot them now!! and ask questions later ! Bring in as many drivers in town ! Saturated ? Who cares ! That's not our problems ! As long as Riders gets faster services & trip digested by drivers and we get paid then it's okay ! What ? that city won't allow us to drive ? Send them cute girls and spoil them with rubbish dinners and give them pension plans after their retirement ! Sex escorts ? We got it ! Then They will say Yes to that ! And if they start changing our deal then threat them with dirty secret videos ! Then they would be out slaves !!! Yeahhhhh! Just like that.
You're full of it
I know full of scam artists trying to convince everyone that they didn't do nothing wrong. Sane as everyone claims innocent when they are in prison and blames their fault to others. We all know that.
This post doesn’t make sense. Uber is a gig platform and earnings are market dependent. You need to know what your burn rate is, and if Uber isn’t making that number, you’d have to supplement with another gig/job, or move onto something else. Driving for Uber is like starting a business. Not everyone will be successful, and it’s very market dependent, and you have to know the ebbs and flows of your market. I’m in Boston, and summers are absolutely dead here, so I have to work during the fall, winter, and spring seasons, and nights are the best time for UE. If I try to work during school vacation times, or in the morning, I wouldn’t come close to my number. Also, some markets don’t have the demand to make it a full time gig. Smaller towns that have 1-2 suppliers, and not a ton of demand, and/or longer rides may not make sense. Just like opening a restaurant, there’s no guarantee of success.
*this post is sponsored by lyft*
LoL I don't do Lyft 😂
Most of the people from other countries in here seem confused. They say things like tipping isn’t required in their country. Tipping isn’t required in America either. A lot of people don’t tip. And to me that’s fine if they don’t. I would never dislike someone, or even scoff at them because they didn’t tip. Tips do however help keep a surplus of drivers on the road though. If no one tipped then there would be barely any drivers. And then Uber would have to give large incentives to entice drivers back on the road. Then to offset those incentives they’d have to begin charging even more. Basically what’s going on is there’s enough people tipping that Uber can get away with paying the amount it currently does. If you don’t want to tip then that’s fine. It will all work itself out one way or the other.
This fool haven't drove car yet. LoL
Maybe don't do that then? Not rocket science, bruv.
Don't do what ? Mr Rocket scientist ! ? & Ask someone to light that bottle rocket in your arse tho. Coz, I won't even go near it. Lmao 🤣
Nvm... You're clearly not intelligent enough to find a new job. Just keep wasting money. Good luck.
Some people don't understand the hustle. If you think you can just drive and ignore people? Not going to work. If you think that someone how people are going to tip you without connecting with them? You're going to have a hard time.
Some people in here are Uber PR shill . Get lost . Seeds of Satan.
I've used Uber a lot lately. I've asked a few people how they are able to even make money with gas prices. Most say they make 150-200 a day after gas. Sounds like a you problem. Said their favorite part is having money immediately. They almost never have issues with not having money that week because they just take the car out and do some rides. Genuinely think about getting into it sometimes.
Go away . Uber PR shill . Quit BS once in you your life time. You Sickens everyone here.
Has more saved. It takes planning will say that,
A year ago, I started with a credit score of 480 and no money. I had to borrow $300 for a deposit to rent a Hertz vehicle to start driving for Uber full time. Now, a year later, I own a 2023 EV car, although I still live in the metropolitan area.

That's a fantastic PR article. I don't believe A thing
Why would Uber cost you $1000 a month? even though you driving full time?
You can quit at any time
And now you have hemorrhoids
Yep it’s a money 💴 Pit sucks you out of everything if your not monitoring all the expenses 🤮🤮🤮🪤🪤
It seems like they know how to Con and create schemes but they don't know how to do business
True this year Uber is really trying to suck drivers and passengers out of every single penny they can get to make their stocks look better so they can sucker other people to invest into Uber stock I had someone on here say Uber is doing great but they don’t know what scam Uber is doing to make it look good ☠️☠️☠️😂🪤🪤🪤🪤🪤🪤🪤
Well, reasons why their stock went up is because world investors had noticed that UBER succeeded to let it's independent contractors to work way below federal and state minimum wages and that's a remarkable for any industries . plus, they did it at first place legally in history.
You spanked ur chance
I’m sorry for all the people who think Uber sucks. My experience has been amazing and abundant… it’s a real cash cow where I’m at I guess! Also got to live within your means
