I only driver Uber, mostly during afternoon and dinner rush, but I agree with you and wait for good orders. Nothing under 7$ or 1.50$ a km and nothing too far from the zone I’m driving in unless its closer to 3-4 per km. Even then I’m selective. As of my last shift my confirmation rate is sitting around 15%.
I'm working in local pizza place in Mtl, they pay cash only, for 8 hours I make minimum $160 cash salary with tips,+ you have free lunch and drinks, I drive max 70km a day. Sometimes orders very close to restaurant and i just walk to costumer.
Hey Ash I have a question. I don’t know if you’ve experienced this. Do you have to have the uber app open on your phone to get an offer, or you can minimize it/have the app running in the background use other apps and still get alerts when they send you an offer? An example is; few weeks ago whenever it was slow even though I was online I was still able to have the app run in the background and watch youtube videos and I would still get offer alerts. This is also true for when I had my phone locked uber would send me offer alerts. But now I have to have it open to get/see the offers otherwise they get declined/disappear. So I am staring at the stupid app the whole time if I am not reading a book. Any solutions? Thanks
Uber forces themselves to "over ride all apps" so if I have another app on, they pop up right away and the screen if I accidentally click, will accept the order. It USED to be the other way as you mentioned but they changed it and every time I turn it off to override my apps, it then won't let me back on after 3 declines if I don't enable it again, it's super flipping annoying.
As per usual it depends on the market area. And a 8$ minimum isn’t as profitable anymore that’s why my SkipTheDishes time zone I take needs to have that extra incentive for that shift of 2-3$ more per order meaning a minimum of 10-11$ per order but I will always keep Uber online in case cause you never know
Depending on the market I will 100% agree with this , in the case of the same market my brother and I drive , Skip has largely slowed down so you're lucky if you get 2 orders a hour.
I just wished it would be busy consistently; it was busy during the snow days; but it was so slow today when the weather was nice. It was not good to maintain those acceptance when you got only one or two orders in an hour or so.
I like the profitability side. I will take low paying orders, but only if they are short on the kms. And i really try to keep my cancellation rate at 3% or less.
I love watching you more and more. ) I work full time but also selectively. 75% of orders are exactly like yours, but there are also 6km for $10 if not to a village on the outskirts) In the evening to get the full benefits of uber, which I have almost every day for 3 orders (6, 9, 12, 18 = $45 ) food and 1 dollar each. You probably do not have such a stock?
Haha appreciate the compliment and happy to have you along on this channel! I currently have daily Quests since about 3-4 weeks now. Sounds about right and my last one is 5 orders for $25 but it's not doable since the market is too quiet.
I would turn down those for the $25 shop & pay plus tip or the deliveries from stores at the mall etc in a heartbeat. I make so much more in tips for those types of orders as well
It depends . This is my answer for most of this. I would add that I dont accept any orders under 7 or 8 dollars.as loing as mileage makes sense.. Each order takes 4 steps 1) the pickup which includes checking the order and numbers. 2 ) back into your car and driving to customer 3) out of your car , leaving the order an taking a picture and back to your car 4) driving to the next location or home. Thats alot of work for the crappy low dollar orders some take. Its only one mans opinion but we need to all stop being cat fish and taking the those bottom of the pond cheap paying orders. This will force payment to increase.. I hope , lol
I'm not sure if it will force payment but I know you and I won't be taking those orders lol if our cost of living and value was way lower, sure but that's not how life works lol
DOORDASH lately gave so many Uber-like crappy orders, which I have not seen before like $5 for 10+ km. Any ideas to keep the acceptance rate of 50+ in order for some so-called highly pay orders?
I do skip in your area, and i was doing it the evening of the storm last week and i was accepting anything below 10$ and that was with a huge asterisk too considering the weather. At some point I ended up declining 3 orders all of which i got within 2 minutes since they where all long distances for barely a km over per dollar, until on the 3rd minute I got a 22$ for 5kmish order. On regular evenings I am more inclined to except some 8$ orders not necessarily always based on distance but where it is, so it strategically puts me in an area that may give me better offers, its happened enough to me where a so-so 8$ got me a 12-18$ afterwards its like a risk vs reward i suppose . For context I do skip pretty much exclusively in the evenings typically between 4:30-8:30. So I guess I lean more on the profitably side of things but when days feel slow it helps to keep some momentum going with certain 8$, risk vs reward.
See the good part Zala is you are not afraid to decline some orders to get those good ones. Some will not decline in fear of going under that 8$ mark but I know there is higher out there.
In today's economy here in Canada, if it's $8/3km.. do it. As food costs go up, take advantage of all orders that are meaningful. Eventually the gig economy will probably due off due to high costs. 99% of orders here are $3/23km and that is with Uber. Doordash has been dead. I am not with skip.
I would say yes do it but not if there is potential for better and you just want to keep a target acceptance rate. He does it to maintain because he's afraid of going under the 80% but by going under, he could get better orders if he declines a few.
@@DashWithAshinCanada but with skip, you lose 10% for each decline still right. I was out there today, and holy the offers were disgusting with Uber. I was seeing $3/33km and one was $3.50/23km going up 2000ft (Burnaby Mountain). Can't believe that Uber would keep the fees like that. Food waste much!!, lol
2:16 you didn't even talk about it ash and uber showed why their app sucks because of the glitches in their shitty app. But I digress I'd warn people to be on the lookout for orders that you already declined because uber will try to guilt trip you into accepting them.
I see lots of orders come through on trip radar that are an insult so of course they show up as a regular offer because no one in their right mind would ever accept unless they are in a desperate spot.

I love that you and I see things similar Mikey!

That's good until that pizza place gets caught for paying under the table like that lol

What's the dollar/time/distance formula you use for accepting uber orders? If you could please help that would be appreciated
I typically go over $1.50 per km or I check how long it will take to do the order. I aim for as high as possible
As per usual it depends on the market area. And a 8$ minimum isn’t as profitable anymore that’s why my SkipTheDishes time zone I take needs to have that extra incentive for that shift of 2-3$ more per order meaning a minimum of 10-11$ per order but I will always keep Uber online in case cause you never know
I love this! I agree, the $8 isn't enough anymore and it's making our minimum even less than we actually need to live.
8 dollars for 3km is great you could easily make 40 an hour with those orders if you get them constantly
Depending on the market I will 100% agree with this , in the case of the same market my brother and I drive , Skip has largely slowed down so you're lucky if you get 2 orders a hour.

Yeah I agree with you , it''s TOO quiet right now and something has to change. Even I can't keep up like this.
I like the profitability side. I will take low paying orders, but only if they are short on the kms. And i really try to keep my cancellation rate at 3% or less.
Yeah my cancellation rate is a bit on the higher said , 7% but normally I never go past that anyways. I agree , profit all the way lol
I love watching you more and more. )

My brother kept his as high as in the upper 80s and still got those horrible offers, That is normal on DoorDash in my market so I use Uber mainly.

Thank you
Thank you as well! 🙂
Is skip not taking new drivers ? Or i am missing something during signup ….any suggestion
They will tell you when you sign up if they need drivers or not , sometimes it's a wait list.

To be honest, I didn't even notice they were sending them already declined haha I know DoorDash does that to me all the time.
Exactly that's why I'm in the business of making money not losing money
You're lucky ash because they send me the same damn order I already declined back to back and you don't have to brag 😂😂😂
I usually only get 2 offers an hour with Skip so i would starve if i did it your brothers way.
😂😂😂
I wouldn't take trash to maintain the 80% AR. Nope.... lol
Haha glad you and I agree on this Shiana!
