      Neither do points. The Acceptance Rate is supposed to get drivers kudos from the apps and supposedly gets a driver to the rider more expediently, which is supposed to get drivers more earnings. The earnings are for the apps, or course. I found that if you're in a busy market like Las Vegas, and you take every ride, you average about $1.00/mile in X. If you drive both X and XL, you will still only average $1.00/mile unless you meet quests and bonuses and get surge pricing. Little by little, the apps restrict your ride requests, mainly due to oversaturation of drivers. But when they went to upfront fares and no surges, and dispatching drivers outside of the airport waiting lot to go further to the airport and not paying drivers until after the drivers ate the first 8 miles and 8 minutes, plus making drivers wait for 5 minutes for free, and two minutes for free on add stops, it clearly was no longer enough to pay rent there. Uber can push out any driver they want.
      I lost a brother to drunk driving too, so that's why I drive the night shift, too. It's called survivor guilt. I can relate to this guy. Being interviewed. He should get his money while he can. All new drivers need to be aware of these apps' bait and switch games.
      I had a 100% acceptance rate for a long time in LV. No regrets. It was working for me until one day it wasn't. The only control we have over being an independent contractor is whether or not we accept or reject certain rides. The legacy of these apps is that they have allowed drivers and riders to discriminate against each other in subtle ways. But there is no protected interest for "destination." Cherry pick. Don't worry about your AR. You're right. The AR does not pay our bills. Maybe at one time it did help out. But seasoned drivers know their games now. 🙌🇺🇸

    Rate card or upfront fares, does not matter, gig companies should not be allowed to withhold ANY information from independent contractors that they (the companies) already know. That includes tips on food delivery apps. Whatever information gig companies have at the time of sending an offer out should be available for workers in order to make proper decision. Gig apps are the new wild west but they are protected on the highest level, unfortunately. They should not be regulated, they should just be forced to follow the already existing laws.

It's a calling for some people. But keep paying attention to the miles and minutes. I used to be a Diamond Pro in Las Vegas. Now I'm all the way back down to Blue, as if I were a new driver. But the market I'm in is still pretty much operated by Yellow Cab and the population is under 70,000.
      As far as picking up intoxicated people, if they are off balance and hardly able to walk, they may be suffering from alcohol poisoning and should throw up before getting in your car! Keep your doors locked and don't let anyone put a drunk person unable to walk into your car and just leave them with you as a third party rider (not the account holder). There's nothing wrong with calling an ambulance and letting the EMTs do their job to help the sick, too.

    14:17 I make $26-$34 an hour in Miami. I used to work in IT on the backend systems for sone large IT companies, on algorithms. I am at 100% acceptance with zero cancelations and 4.99 stars and 98% CMT rating in Miami. We are on the New advantage program in Miami. The algorithm Uber is using, is Metric based. The higher your ratings, the larger percentage per ride you will make. I have the data since the program launched last month on July 15th as verification. I am very good with Math. The new algorithm CAN be manipulated, to receive larger paying rides. I have been driving since the beginning of this year using a Hertz/Uber rental, a Polestar 2 Electric vehicle. Uber deductes an additional 3-5% per ride from me, for using the rental option, but i am still making on average, $30 per hour. I did the Math and I've seen the results in my bank account...

    Completely agree that a lot of riders treat ride share as public transportation. If I am taking a rider to/from work I can almost guarantee that there will not be a tip at the end. It doesn’t matter what your vehicle looks like, how good the communication is, or how safely you get them to their destination.

      It based off of where you live to be honest when it comes to tips. At least that what i think because in Lubbock i make good tips. Last week i made a total of $85.15 in tips, and the week before last i made $52 for the week. But every week i average anywhere between $50 to $100 in tips for just 1 week. And to be honest it more shocking to because when i started with Lyft i never recieved much in tips maybe $5 to $10 a week and i even have a 5 Star Rating as well on Lyft but could only get $5 to $10 in tips and Lyft at the time when i started was much cheaper then Uber. Then when i switched to Uber that when i recieved more tips.

    Thank you so much so much for opportunity to do this interview with you. I enjoyed it. Also there are some other reasons on why i Accept 100% which i forgot to bring up with the interview.
    1st Thing: My car has a Warrant on it so if something was to bring down it covered. Now recently that Warranty though my dealership did expire so i went to another Warranty Company and went with them. This company i went with is the Number One Car Warranty company. I pay $150 a month and the Warranty on the car is 100K Miles or 4 Years whichever comes first. It covers anything related to the Engine as well as Electrical, Brakes, and much more as well as Free Tire Replacements, and Tow of up to 100 Miles if needed. Before getting this Warranty i did research as well as looking at reviews. The reviews had over 4K positive reviews as well. So if anything happens to the car such as Engine goes out, or a blow a Head Gasket i know it covered and all i pay is $100 Deductible. The warrant also covers Free Hotal Stays of up to 3 days if i am 100 Miles away from home. So for the most part my Car is 100% Covered.

    Uber's acceptance rate in Austin Texas has been fixed with standard and advantage. If they publish the data per city, I guarantee Austin has gone up 20% and that could be understating it. If you're not advantage you're not working. I used to average 22 rides a day on Uber. I've done 42 rides in 28 days. Uber has increased their profit from 3% to 7% on my rides to 28% consistently. I'm making under 30% of rides I do actually get.
    Guaranteed advantage standard is rolling out worldwide. It has turned the tables for Uber profitability. I suggest buying Uber stock right now because their profit is going to blow up they're going to be so flush with so much money they could be the richest company in the world.

The last one got me 10 minutes from my home by 7:20PM. My Monday-Friday are all reservation with the exception of a few that may take me in the direction of my pickup. I rarely do weekends.

  • @cc-tb3st

    They may not kick you off the platform because of low acceptance rates, but with standard and advantage, they effectively have removed you from the platform. Can you still work? You can still log on but even in a city like Austin Texas you just sit there and don't get any ride offers. When a trip radar does finally come around, the hundred other drivers that are just like you that used to make money by cherry picking rides all except the piece of crap ride that they never would have accepted before. And then Uber says which one gets it. Any other 99 drivers are screwed for the next however long until they get to fight over scraps again.

    Gainesville, FL Uber does not show upfront pricing also does not have trip radar. Jax which is about 90 minutes northeast, has upfront pricing with trip radar.

      If i had Upfront Fares believe me i would not accept 100% either. But right now, we are on a Fixed Rate Card. For UberX we get 80 Cents per mile at a $.80 Cent Base Fee, and Uber Comfort is $1.10 base fee for the first mile and $.88 cents per mile after that. I know when we are at Stops, we are paid $.15 Cents a min after waiting 2 mins as well as if we arrive and we are waiting for the customer to get into the car we are paid .15 Cents per min after waiting 2 mins. We also get Paid for Long Distance Pickup as well as Long Distance Pickup Time which the Time is .80 Cents for Each per mile it takes us to get there as well as $.60 Cents Per Min that it takes us to get there. In my Area Long Distance Pickup is anything more then 5 Miles.

    NO ONE TALKS about Expenses: The I.R.S. says .67 a mile includes Gas, Maintenance, Repairs, Insurance, Depreciation for all the miles your putting on your Vehicle, Plus if your at $20 labor rate per hour broken down to $5 for 15 mins.for the rides you take., or Half hour for $10 Ect. So now let's look at Ride request Here's one $4.15 for 5 miles and 15 mins. so -3.35 for mileage and let's say $5 labor totals $8.35 - $4.15 fare you loss (-4.20) Here's another request Fare $6.17 9 miles 15 mins. Mileage expense $6.03 and if you want $5 labor that ride you loss for ride ($4.86). # 1 Thing what you gross a hour is not how much your making per hour Mileage expenses have to come off of that. That's WHY RIDE SHARE DRIVERS need a Model of Total Mile expenses. Once drivers say NO to Uber to No upfront Pricing. and Ride share riders so NO to Lyft low ball pricing. Then both Ride Share companies won't have the Drivers it needs. That's why I refuse to advertise for new drivers. That's what the companies want lots of new drivers. Not knowing how much money there really make. Until there figure out how Ride share is not that profitable for the drivers on most ride requests. IF THE RIDE SHARE GUYS put out a MODEL for ALL DRIVERS New and current drivers on mileage costs your going to see huge decline in Accepting rides for Losses for Drivers. Just Saying :)

    Oh my God man, just think if someone throws up in your car you get $150. As you said that's an entire day's worth of work for you to just clean up some throw up.
    I don't have barf bags in my car most of the time because I want someone to throw up in my car. My car is set up to be thrown up in. I had the Toyota fake leather seats. I have the floor mats that protect the carpet on the floor so if someone throws up it doesn't get in my carpet. I have blocks in my door pockets so it doesn't go and get trapped inside there. For me to clean up the worst throw up I've had in my car literally took 15 minutes. $150 for 15 minutes Yes please. True, I'm no longer working on Uber for a few hours to make it seem like I'm not set up for it. But I run Lyft in that time and I'm still making money.
