    28,000 trips! Whoa! Amazing Jay. What tips do you have when driving rideshare? Let us know YOURS 👇

    • @Rbl7132
      @Rbl7132 Год назад +6

      Here is the BIGGEST TIP! ATTACH A TIP JAR NEXT TO PASSENGER SIDE HEAD REST AND PUT A LIGHT BEHIND THE SIGN ON THE JAR. RIDERS WILL BE REMINDED TO TIP AND WILL BE INCLINED TO TIP BECAUSE THEY CAN SAY "HEY HERES YOUR TIP"...THEY WANT TO GET RECOGNITION WHEN THEY TIP. #2-FREE JOLLY RANCHER AND SUPER BUBBLE GUM ON ARMREST BETWEEN SEATS. HUGEEEEE ADDITIONAL TIPS!

      @@Rbl7132 I strongly disagree with the tip jar, I've notice in my 5 years as a 5-star driver the entire time that on average pre-pandemic years 1 out of 3 riders would tip during the height of the pandemic 1 out of 2 riders were leaving a tip, in 2021 things started to normalize and went back to 1 out of 3 riders tipping towards the middle of 2022 things started getting worse and noticed riders tipping less and less on average it was 1 out of 4 riders and then towards the end of 2022 and especially all of 2023 the new average became a meager 1 out of 10 riders are now tipping its a little better on the weekends but don't expect many tips during the weekdays. Obviously the dramatic interest hikes of 2022 are starting to take effect on the real economy and folks are truly struggling, I see it everyday especially being in the Southern California region with insane cost of living. I understand your mindset that a tip jar serves as a reminder that tips are expected and appreciated, but I'm in the camp that a tip jar makes almost all riders to feel uncomfortable and pressured into giving tips, but with the economy in such bad shape as of 2020 this added pressure is almost insulting to most riders who could barely even afford taking a rideshare. So my best advice is to be an all-star driver by providing the best service possible and the 28 tips on this video were all great examples on being a top driver. I do agree with your second point on leaving candies and mints on the door handles but I would highly recommend on not giving any gum (one of the very few times I've actually offered gum to a passenger I drove over an hour to LAX, and the guy left the chewed up gum on the door handle, which I thought was extremely disrespectful and disgusting, so I could only imagine leaving gum for the thousands of rides I have given and how much chewed gum would end up on the door handles, floor mats and even worse on the seats, so BIG NO on having complimentary gum, I suggest having 2-3 options such as soft mints like Bob's Stripes and a hard individually wrapped candy like lemonheads, I've noticed many passengers like the Airheads, the best alternative to gum I've actually welcomed a few passengers with horrible breath eat the airheads and smiled to myself on how much better their breath was after eating the airheads.) I've gotten $100 tips on a few occasions and $50 tips on $3 rides, a $20-30 tip is amazing, but these days $5 tips mean a lot and are highly appreciated. My number one tip which he touched on is ALWAYS having a clean car and the rubber mats makes life easier when it comes to washing your car and the best place I recommend washing your own car is paying the $20-25 subscription fee at one of those drive-thru carwash places that offer unlimited washes by simply giving them your credit card information and having the $20 taken out automatically every month. I wash my car at least 4-5 times a week and the $20 is well worth it for unlimited washes. I also recommend having a small Fabreze Air freshener spray bottle and buying the larger one gallon bottle to refill the small spray bottle that you leave inside the car at all times, on top of having the ozium or small clipon air vent air fresheners. My car always gets complimented on how clean and fresh it smells. Lastly but not least be an excellent driver, good driving skills are a must not only for everyone's safety but being an excellent driver leads to better tips!

      -Plan your hours
      -Know what locations you need to be at what times
      -position yourself where you need to be, before you need to be there and understand how long that position will be useful.
      Smart hours
      Smart locations
      Smart positioning
      If you work slow hours you will make poor hourly.
      If you don’t know where to drive at you get bad trips
      If you see an opportunity and your not already at that location you’ve already missed out.
      Don’t cut people off, slow down and cut behind them.

      @@Thehandsomeliberal "Behavior" You mean approaching ridesharing with a positive attitude and realizing that as bad as U/L are, that there is still room to make a profit AND perhaps Jay has other reasons for doing ride sharing? On the other hand I guess he could blame U/ L for all that is wrong with the world. That is a recipe for success..... Last time I checked I don't believe anyone is behind you with a gun to your head making you or anyone else go online and drive. I will play along, let's just stipulate that U/L are the 2 worst corporations on earth. Are you just as upset when you pay $5 for a Starbucks latte that costs them $1 to make? Or when you buy an $1,100 1-phone that costs around $300 to make? Just curious. The fact that Jay chooses to share the good that he has experienced during his 28,000 trips is refreshing even though he will see comments like yours.

      @@malewire1263 You have no Idea why people do what they do. I am not the one confused here. Once again I could care less how many videos Jay may have put out. My comment is on this one. No none and I mean no one is arguing that U/L or any rideshare/food delivery company is anything other than exploitive, predatory, or any other adjective you may choose to use. The fact is that ANYONE who does this type of work has CHOSEN it. If you or anyone else is at a position in their life where this is the way you choose to make money as the sole way to support yourself or a family, than YOU have made some horrible mistakes in your life that are not the fault of anyone other than yourself. Not Uber, Not Lyft, Not religion, Not a politician, you. Your mind will never be changed and I assume you are always the victim. Here is fact for others with an open mind In 2015 when I started for Uber (as supplemental income) I made either 75% or 80% of the fare. I also knew that this could never continue or Uber would cease to exist. I busted my ass, and every extra penny went to pay off my mortgage. In 2018 I paid off my mortgage (with help from Uber) which allowed me to retire at 55. That is what smart people do. They don't always play the victim. Now a ride that made me $12 profit in 2015 makes me $5 profit in 2023, however I no longer have to pay $3,000 a month for a mortgage! Please, all of you take rideshare for what it is Marginal income, extra income, and embrace the reality that you will NEVER be rich driving people from point A to point b or bringing them dinner. For gods sake wake up and take personal responsibility for your own place in life. If it is so so oppressive to work for U/L, DON'T TURN ON THE APP!!!!!

      University by me has a lot of students from China. One morning I picked up a group of girls from airport. Was first time for them in US. I drove them to their dorm. When we got there, one of the girls screamed which caused me some concern. One of the other girls explained that the screamer was excited because she had just seen a fox squirrel for the first time. Struck me as funny that someone from the only country with pandas would be very excited about an animal I see everyday.

    I have had the pleasure of driving a few celebrities on Uber/Lyft rides. A lot of them have been musicians or comedians. I treat them like I would anybody else. Most are on the road and just want to know from a local what restaurants they should try and what else the area has to offer. This is one of the biggest lessons I have learned that leads to better tips. Know the area you drive in, know what the restaurants are known for, know what your area has to offer, know the points of interest and why they are points of interest. If a rider asks me a question about the area I'm in and I don't have an answer for them I make sure I know the answer for the next person that asks.

Usually the rides are far from where I am and take me farther from my home.

    Be a contrarian driver is how i put it when other drivers don't want to work.
    Rideshare is kinda like fishing in a pond. The earlier you're out there, the more fish you get. The more fishers in the pond, the less fish there is to go around. So pick another pond. This doesn't have to be a different city with Rideshare. There are always different sections of a city that have less drivers to fill rider demand. Most Uber drivers focus their attention to the downtown area, or middle of the city. When demand is slow, traffic is congested, get out of the downtown area because more than likely, another area of the city is experiencing lower supply of drivers.

    Congratulations Jay 28,000 trips I'm at about 20,000 closing it on you lol. But one big tip I would give everybody with upfront pricing is know your area very well. It's a lot easier to judge if it's a good or bad trip if you know exactly where you're going traffic conditions and everything else

    In my Market, Lyft shows that drivers are only making $23/hr on their own site. Rideshare is only viable if you can CONSISTENTLY make over $30/hr. Your expenses, need to save to replace a car every few years (full-time driver), and inflation makes it necessary.

    Every single mark is different driving at all of LA will make you some serious cash but in my market is a joke it’s a joke. I’ve been driving on and off part time for 4.5 years amount and I don’t know how you guys make the money for me, but in this market the rides average between five and eight dollars sometimes a nine dollar ride and rarely anything over $12 and then, you may do one but it’s so far away for the time to get back to that area. They’re all gone. I’ve been watching your shows casts for you and you help me out. Congratulations on 28,000 anymore. Congratulations that you’re not doing it anymore. I can tell you out here in western New York Weather it’s night Friday Saturday I did a ride today for $12 for miles to go pick her up and 20 miles to take it OK you guys in la would probably get $60

    You give great advice but I would not give advice if you have not experienced it yourself first hand. Leasing a Tesla is not a good advice unless you want to work 12 to 14 hour days. i leased a tesla for a week when I had to take my hybrid in to get it fixed. Final cost to lease, get insurance and for the charge $640. The milage after each charge was about 215, so If I wanted to work 8 to 10 hours I would had to charge the car 2 twice a day which adds about 2 hours to the day. So by your standards of 10 hour days and making $200. Expect to work 12 hours and giving back 60% back on the car.

    I strongly disagree with the tip jar idea left on some comments, I've notice in my 5 years as a 5-star driver the entire time that on average pre-pandemic years 1 out of 3 riders would tip during the height of the pandemic 1 out of 2 riders were leaving a tip, in 2021 things started to normalize and went back to 1 out of 3 riders tipping towards the middle of 2022 things started getting worse and noticed riders tipping less and less on average it was 1 out of 4 riders and then towards the end of 2022 and especially all of 2023 the new average became a meager 1 out of 10 riders are now tipping its a little better on the weekends but don't expect many tips during the weekdays. Obviously the dramatic interest hikes of 2022 are starting to take effect on the real economy and folks are truly struggling, I see it everyday especially being in the Southern California region with insane cost of living. I understand the mindset that a tip jar serves as a reminder that tips are expected and appreciated, but I'm in the camp that a tip jar makes almost all riders to feel uncomfortable and pressured into giving tips, but with the economy in such bad shape as of 2020 this added pressure is almost insulting to most riders who could barely even afford taking a rideshare. So my best advice is to be an all-star driver by providing the best service possible and the 28 tips on this video were all great examples on being a top driver. I do agree that leaving candies and mints on the door handles but I would highly recommend on not giving any gum (one of the very few times I've actually offered gum to a passenger I drove over an hour to LAX, and the guy left the chewed up gum on the door handle, which I thought was extremely disrespectful and disgusting, so I could only imagine leaving gum for the thousands of rides I have given and how much chewed gum would end up on the door handles, floor mats and even worse on the seats, so a BIG NO on having complimentary gum, I suggest having 2-3 options such as soft mints like Bob's Stripes and a hard individually wrapped candy like lemonheads, I've noticed many passengers like the Airheads, the best alternative to gum I've actually welcomed a few passengers with horrible breath eat the airheads and smiled to myself on how much better their breath was after eating the airheads.) I've gotten $100 tips on a few occasions and $50 tips on $3 rides, a $20-30 tip is amazing, but these days $5 tips mean a lot and are highly appreciated. My number one tip which he touched on is ALWAYS having a clean car and the rubber mats makes life easier when it comes to washing your car and the best place I recommend washing your own car is paying the $20-25 subscription fee at one of those drive-thru carwash places that offer unlimited washes by simply giving them your credit card information and having the $20 taken out automatically every month. I wash my car at least 4-5 times a week and the $20 is well worth it for unlimited washes. I also recommend having a small Fabreze Air freshener spray bottle and buying the larger one gallon bottle to refill the small spray bottle that you leave inside the car at all times, on top of having the ozium or small clipon air vent air fresheners. My car always gets complimented on how clean and fresh it smells. Lastly but not least be an excellent driver, good driving skills are a must not only for everyone's safety but being an excellent driver leads to better tips! Make everyone feel like a VIP asking them how the air temperature feels in the back a few minutes after the ride started and within the first minute ask them if your music playing is ok or if they have any music preferences if you can't get a read as to which music they like, I've become a DJ of sorts being a top driver and have a variety of gonro Playlist on apple music that I choose before we get rolling. A long read but if you made it this far I'm sure you will see an increase on your tips. Drive safely Over and Out!

      I drive in Australia, and we really don't have a tipping culture here. I used to get a reasonable number of tips (been doing most of Jay's 28 since day 1 a year ago) but they have dropped off noticeably in the past 3 - 4 months. We have Uber and Didi here, Didi riders almost never tip (partly the rider app interface design, partly the demographic) - Didi riders almost never give a star rating either.

      XD you gotta stop thinking of it like that, this is your life, and you have to time manage yourself, you can do Uber/Lyft and other things as well. You don’t gotta work for McDonald’s Walmart.
      Think of it like this
      You have time slots for sleeping
      And time slots for income
      You fill those time slots with a flexible work thing and add more ways to make income other then Uber Lyft later, eventually you have rideshare job b, job c and none of them care if you show up, none of them are stressing you out and you figure out which one is best to do at what hour.
      Then something better comes along and you replace one thing in the slot. Until eventually you daisy chain your way up. If you work 2 jobs at McDonald’s and Walmart you have no time to control your time slots and manage yourself. The flexibility to persue other oppertunitys is valuable.
      10 hours in 24 hours could be 3.2hours 3.2 hour 3.2 hours
      your life is 24/7 day and night is a concept. I don’t pull 10’s everyday
      Im not conditioned for that but it’s up to you how you work your life
