From my experience, if client ask you to extend the target destination, like wait for them and bring them back, request they update their destination, otherwise you risk that later the client will report you for being overcharged and you will be the one being blamed for your good will! Happen to me. Client reported that I did not end the trip at the destination, when it was her request! And I ended with lower rating and my earning for the trip was taken away! But since I never thought someone could scam me like this, I did not ask her to update the location and then I did not have any proof, when the client lied in order to get $ back and have a free ride!
Yeah like that's the 1st sign you're gonna get scammed and they will give a bad rating to prove their point. Be polite but if being scammed call UBER'S support BEFORE you close the trip or uber can't help. I save screenshots too for disputes with the help app!
That is why I have a dash cam and I record every ride. Then I have proof if they lie. This became my policy after I worked one weekend did two rides, and one of the two made a bogus complaint saying I was driving under the influence. I didn't record that day and had zero proof. Luckily I had a great track record and was able to convince them that I was not under the influence of anything except making money. Now I record each and every ride so the claims can be resolved quicker without any doubts!!
Yeah, you’ll definitely get some liars and scammers. I’ve had a few people give me 1 star because I wouldn’t take them to a destination that wasn’t in their trip request and Uber have them their money back.
If I was a marketing representative for Uber or Lyft I would say this guy did a pretty good job with this video. The way he is expressing himself sounds like some of his advice is coming straight from these ride sharing companies.
Open two front windows and one rear window, set same height. This applies 2:1 air flow ratio that inner pressure is strong enough to against the air flowing speed so that the air won't blow.
Also, yesterday I was pinged for a ride. All the sudden my messages start beeping to call the rider. I call and they say they are with Uber and that this is to inform me that Uber will be shutting down for two weeks starting April 24. They had me cancel the ride. Then told me I would be getting $500 to compensate for this. I am pretty good at sniffing out a scam but they almost got me. We got the point where I was going to enter a special 16 digit reward code into my bank account info when I finally got it. Please tell everyone to watch out for this. The person sounded very authoritative and knew their way around the Uber Driver app.
I was a taxi driver for 5 years & as a taxi driver i can tell u that alot of what said makes sence.... like us taxi drivers must keep our cars clean & helping people with luggage & or groceries is a given ( the companies i have worked for 95% of the drivers never helped out ) i was always happy to help because its part of my job! My passengers always got so excited to see me & said they prefer me over the other drivers because im such a joy to be around! They alway gave me a tip but the other drivers didn't get tips from the passengers because they didn't treat them well.... im not usually a prideful person but that i do take pride in that! Some of the other drivers been driving taxi for 30 years & still haven't figured out how to get better tips!
As a cabbie what I booked, I would have an additional 30-50% in tips! Doing rideshare LOL nowhere near that amount but Uber pax tip better than Lyft pax.
A healthier, cheaper alternative to energy drinks (ESPECIALLY if you are combining coffee either before or after [very bad idea]) is to just add an expresso or double expresso shot to your coffee. Alot of people don't realize you have this wonderful option when ordering coffee. Do this instead of energy drinks. Those things will kill you!
Thank you so much for these tips. I've been driving Uber for approx. 9 months and I like it. I've found myself guilty with a few of the topics you discussed, simply because of being relatively new, and also just ignorant of a few facts. I really appreciate the enlightenment.
I’ve been driving for 3 years and I endorse every tip presented here. Very good advice. Two minor issues: 1. After dropping someone off there are times when you’ll know that you’re never going to get a ride where you are and have to relocate. Get to know your hot and cold spots. 2. If you only drive for the money, get another gig. Like any job, you have to like or at least tolerate it or you’ll stink at it. I need my music. I’ll turn it down but don’t ask me to turn it off. Keep your tip, give me a bad review. I don’t care. (I’ve never gotten anything but 5 stars).
Rental car for uber / lyft through their program is a bad idea if you want to make money. I wrecked my Escalade in 2017 and was looking for another vehicle. In the meantime, I got hooked up with the Uber rental car program through Hertz, and got a really nice 2016 Dodge charger to drive around. It cost me about $250 / week. I did just enough Uber with the car to pay for the rental fees and then stopped. I did this and kept the car for 3 months while I was saving for a down payment / looking for another vehicle. It was great and it was kind of like driving a car for free for 3 months. And the rental came with insurance already in the price. But every 28 days you had to go back into the Hertz office and re-sign a rental contract (they are only good for 28 days). But other than that, it worked out great. I would not recommend it though if you are just getting one to try and make some money. You have to work off the $200-$250 / week rental fee before you even make a dime. If your ok with that, than go for it. It's not a bad program.
This is great. I am leaving Hallcon behind and one of my passengers was a gentleman who's sister makes really good money with Uber and he told me about these videos. I heard your suggestion to drive for Lyft too and I realized, if I have the car I can do all of it. Great suggestion. Too bad I wont see that crewman again I'd buy him lunch for his great suggestion to watch these videos.
We not supposed to pick up the kids even with the parents putting them in the car! Everybody does this they would probly give me negative reviews if I put my foot down! Wow
Great content bro! And you are spot on about learning from other drivers online! I learned a lot of these the hard way but your video helps to remember some and it’s funny we all experience a lot of these same things lol. Keep it up
I've been getting a lot of people lately who live in huge apartment complexes or condo complexes and they enter the address for you to pick them up that's at the gate but they really want you to drive all around to pick them up at their building. Costing extra time and money what do you recommend for that
18:03 this is one of the compliments that I get wayyyyyyy to often from the passengers (specially here in Miami), I play super low volume the music and I pick basically Lo-Fi music, is not even that Can be annoying, you don’t know the mood of the passenger that day, or what’s going thru in that moment so is kind of show respect also!
I have been an Uber driver for 6.5 years and I accommodate all my passengers in one way or another. I’m respectful and caring but, try not to get suckered in because it’s easy to do. Thank you for your tips. Very helpful!❤
Has everything been smooth for the 6+ years? How’s your car? I’m looking for the positive feedback about rideshare. All I keep seeing and hearing about is the negativity.
I recently started driving Uber X part time and I’ve had a few rides where the passenger had someone with them and I see no rules on additional passengers does everyone need to pay for the ride? I feel like I’m being taken advantage of please share to concrete rules for this I’m in Florida..
I doubt about additional charge per passenger BUT this past weekend for the first time i had uber send me a notification asking how many riders were in my car...must be something new
Several passengers can ride to one destination on one fare... But if they ask you to make additional stops they have to put it in the app so you will get paid for each stop.
Question: how do you know a passenger is paying the correct fare rate? I had a woman the other day that paid $5 but had 4 passengers. Seemed kinda cheap to me...
I follow a lot of this guys videos I'm an owner operator truck driver with over 2 million safe miles! The truck industry today is a great way to make a quarter of a million dollars a year easy, but the problem is there's a reason why there's a shortage of 400,000 drivers it's a tough job and not everyone can do it I've been doing it for a long time and I used to be a taxi driver back in the day in Philadelphia and I recently met up with another owner operator truck driver who is doing Uber and Lyft it's doing well I will say the number one thing is to do your research and watch guys like this guy he has some great advice some of the advice he has is just playing common sense but we all know there's a lot of people out there that don't have that nowadays LOL.
Thanks for the great advice! Unfortunately, drinking coffee, energy drinks, or anything for that matter doesn’t work out so well for me. It makes have to use the bathroom, which is especially bad if I’m trying to get a bonus streak. I guess you men have things easier in this regard as you can always resort to the “bottle trick” whereas this isn’t an option for us ladies
@ Christine King look it up, they have portable urinals for ladies too. Or you could look into a catheter system, and keep a pinch off bladder under the driver's seat. Just pray it never leaks or pops, or make sure you empty the catch bottle at your earliest convenience.
I noticed in the morning there are Walmart employees getting off from third shift and the rides are pretty good, so folks don’t under estimate the Walmart pickups
@@CelestialChef90 Oh let me clarify that, I pick up Walmart employees in the early morning hours and those are usually good because most employees live 10-20 miles away, but regular rides Nope 3 miles and a trunk full of groceries, typically not worth your time
I do this Full time: and Yes I have a rental, * As for keeping your doors locked at all times: I found that out the hard way when someone just jumped in and offered cash to take them to where they needed to go..... Ugg * Having the correct passenger - I did a pickup at the Metro here in my area and a young girl got in and I never asked her for her name before driving off, found out 2 blocks down the road she was not my pickup so since it was raining I drove back to the starting point and had her wait in the car until her Lyft showed up, Once they did then my Pax got in and she went to the other Lyft. * Blasting Music: I pulled at a stop light yesterday right next to a Uber driver with a Pax in the back of their car the music was "Blasting" it really didn't look like the Pax was even enjoining the music at all and the Driver looked as if he was even sleeping during the wait at the stop light - I always play "Flashback" music it does offer a variety for them to listen to plus I keep it low to where we are all able to know music is playing but without developing a headache. Plus I always ask if there is a special radio station they would like to listen to. * AC vers Heat - I always ask them if they are needed. * Watching Uber/Lyft video's as a source to better yourself as a driver - Started this "Before" driving for Lyft and still do it regularly to see what kind of crap pax may be doing during certain rides. * I'll leave you a Tip on the App - Lol don't count on it! I have heard this many times and never received the tip for anyone that states they will although I do get quite a few tips daily if they talk about doing it then chances are they won't. * Question: at what age does the "KID" have to be before a driver should take them? also at what age does the Child have to be before you take them without a car seat? - I do get them from time to time but to me 1/2 the time they look a little to big for a booster or car seat (My Opinion). Thanks for taking the time to view and for your answers.
I'm 68 and drove for Uber a few years ago did 625 trips. They are still the worst company I ever worked for. Been with lift for years now and they are great.
I have been driving for Uber Lyft for more than a year and one of my positive takes that most drivers can agree on is the convenience you can get paid direct deposit on your bank account on the same day as your chosen option if you wanted to up to 5 times. The downside which when you breakdown the numbers are some says the pay after all expenses. Uber Lyft is great only for those drivers have financial needs to supplement their finances. However, like Dustin is driving said it’s really designed to be a part time gig whether we have a full time job or not.
I tried to use your referral link to sign up for Uber but Uber is giving me a hard time to receive the signup bonus and they ask me to ask you to contact Uber to verify! Is that something you would do? 😭😅🙏🏽
It's wise to avoid all possible liability situations. You might have good intentions in assisting people but if something goes wrong you are the first person they will be ready to sue or shut down.
I just started driving for uber friday, I do "drive around for rides" but that is mostly to get away from a city I don't want to drive in haha had a very long trip today 72 miles passenger slept most of the ride which was perfect haha
@@barbaralambert1002 hmm well, were these people are going 1 mile down the road and I'm earning $4/trip down there I'd rather speed back up to the city above where they are not going 1 mile away and are just too lazy to walk. thanks though.
I’ve been an Uber driver for 10 years with over 10,000 trips!! A lot of what you say is correct but you have to let people know where you drive. It’s not the same every where. I’m a NYC Uber driver and my experience is slightly different
Definitely words to live by.... I've been doing this full time for about a year now and learned most of this stuff the hard way. Keep the vids coming, maybe there are a few more things I can learn... I signed up for the play octopus tablet but they aren't in my area yet (Orlando). I really want that thing or something Similar.
@@ErikHerrera18 .... I used to make at least $200 a day for about 10 hours... usually more. For UberX. Since the pandemic I stopped UberX (no rides) and been just doing Uber Eats. I dont make as much doing Uber Eats. Maybe avg. abou $150.
The biggest mistake doing rideshare is doing ridesharing. Been there and did it. Still to this day Uber is the worst company I ever worked for. And in 67 yrs of age.
Mostly correct but disagree with mistakes 11 and 27.When you driving in a big city and your rider go outside area you have to turn off your app and return to city because next trip could be far away.I use to work in a taxi business for 22 years and my experience says 80% customers after long flights asking OPEN window in a car.Anyway,thank you for your views in ride-share business.🙏
I take issue with #6 buying a car to drive for rideshare. When I wanted to drive for Doordash, UberEats, and Grubhub, I thought the same way: get a car and deliver food; however, in my area, I quickly learned that. Google Maps takes me through the boondocks to get to a new subdivision, and it's dark with nothing but trees and cornfields. I was terrified. That's when I realized I needed a car that wouldn't leave me stranded. That's when I bought a new car with good gas mileage and low maintenance. I'm not worried about trading this car in because when I do, or if I do, it is still a good used car. I never worry about mileage because this is why I got the car. It is a work car to make money.
Thanks Dylan! Regarding the Lyft app, I’ve had several instances where a rider try’s to add a stop but is not able to or if they do the navigation gets messed up. With Uber, yesterday in particular, after accepting a ride the navigation sent me 10 miles the opposite direction. Have you experienced any of these issues? I did call Uber about the navigation issue and it was brushed off to technical difficulties- quite disappointing. I haven’t called Lyft because there is no support number to call. What do you suggest?
When you're doing Uber Pool or Lyft Shared the passenger usually isn't allowed to change their destination, so that might be it. If they are really unable to change the destination then I'd just do it but make sure to contact support through that ride afterwards to tell them they tried to change the destination through the app but it wouldn't let them
It cost the rider a $1 or 2 to change destination or add a stop. They're lying to you that the app "won't allow them to make a change";, they don't want to pay an extra dollar. Guess what kind of tip you will get from these types?
Another scam they try is once they are in the car getting you to make an additional (quick stop) without putting it in the app. I had to put a lady out for that, and learned if the additional stop is not in the app when we begin the trip I'm taking them to the original destination period.
Thanks for letting me know that Uber can apply the referral code again. My husband just signed up and did not do any rides. Can you let me know what is your code and if he could apply it in Texas?
A question here... what if people travel with animals? Like let's say a big dog? Like a support animal. Do you carry a blanket, so they can lay on it on a back seat? Or??? I'm about to start driving and this is something I keep thinking about. Thank you.
The best advice you have given to Drivers 🙏👍. Make a video, please, about passengers as well. Some of the passengers are so difficult to deal with they have no respect and no manners at all.
One of my favorite beaches in the world, Calafia in san Clemente. I used to go there almost every day for years. My friends and I would body board and clime the cliffs in the background. I recognize it right away.
Sleep is very important and taking a break and getting out and walking around doing a little bit of exercise outdoors or go to the gym but sometimes I don't even know I'm sleepy, and I was told to take the heat and take it off my face and put it you know towards the feet. But when I know I'm tired I come off the road and go to all night McDonald's or Royal farms because they're 24 hours in Wawa
I'm not an Uber or Lyft driver but I still enjoy your videos. One suggestion would be to break this content into 6 different videos no more than 5 minutes long. I don't have the patience to watch 25 minutes at one time. It helps you monetize you channel by offering 6 shorter videos VS one long video and you could potentially get more like from all channel surfers. Thanks for the content.
Confirmation ... I'm a good driver. I don't keep snacks or water for passengers though. and when I first started driving, I kept my trunk full. I learned pretty quick that was not a good idea. Thank you.
If possible I declined rides where people need assistance or have wheelchairs. Once I picked up a 500+ lb woman in a wheelchair from the hospital. She could not stand up or walk and the hospital staff left her abandoned on the street. I was not going to attempt to help her into the car. Fortunately for her a nice man on the street helped her into the car. Before we pulled off I asked her if she had someone at home to help her get out of the car and she said yes but when we got there no one came out to help her so I ended up sitting there wasting time and money while she was on the phone trying to reach somebody... because I was certainly not going to put myself at risk by assisting her. Finally she reached someone to help her. I try to avoid these situations if possible but sometimes you have no way of knowing until you get there. But you can still decline the ride once you get there if that's what you decide to do. It might sound bad but what are you going to do if she falls and injuries herself or you? Now you have major liability issues when the whole thing could have been avoided. These type passengers do not need Uber or Lyft they need a special needs ride service.

Uber and Lyft should be paying you for your videos cuz they sure ain't providing any of this training.
Keep your car clean, sanitized and have great candies, brief conversations which keeps me at 5 stars, ppl love me

How many hours aday would you say you put in before you saw the difference after paying the 250 a week?
I did this for about 4 months. I used it to get to my primary job when my car broke down and just did trips on the weekends to make the rental fee.
thank you thankyou I aprecciate your time to explain in details those mistakes.
the only time I drive with windows down is when the rider hasn't bathed recently...

That's grass we do not pee in a bottle
@ Christine King look it up, they have portable urinals for ladies too. Or you could look into a catheter system, and keep a pinch off bladder under the driver's seat. Just pray it never leaks or pops, or make sure you empty the catch bottle at your earliest convenience.
You can use cat litter ha ha
You made me feel like I was born to do this! Ty so much God bless you
I'm an Uber new driver now! I'm excited and thank you for your video tips.
I just wonder it is legal to have dash camera on board for video and radio recording in California?
I deliver Uber eats and was considering doing the driver but it sounds like more of a pain
I noticed in the morning there are Walmart employees getting off from third shift and the rides are pretty good, so folks don’t under estimate the Walmart pickups
I’ve never been tipped by anyone I picked up from Walmart as of yet
@@CelestialChef90 Oh let me clarify that, I pick up Walmart employees in the early morning hours and those are usually good because most employees live 10-20 miles away, but regular rides Nope 3 miles and a trunk full of groceries, typically not worth your time
I do this Full time: and Yes I have a rental,
* As for keeping your doors locked at all times: I found that out the hard way when someone just jumped in and offered cash to take them to where they needed to go..... Ugg
* Having the correct passenger - I did a pickup at the Metro here in my area and a young girl got in and I never asked her for her name before driving off, found out 2 blocks down the road she was not my pickup so since it was raining I drove back to the starting point and had her wait in the car until her Lyft showed up, Once they did then my Pax got in and she went to the other Lyft.
* Blasting Music: I pulled at a stop light yesterday right next to a Uber driver with a Pax in the back of their car the music was "Blasting" it really didn't look like the Pax was even enjoining the music at all and the Driver looked as if he was even sleeping during the wait at the stop light - I always play "Flashback" music it does offer a variety for them to listen to plus I keep it low to where we are all able to know music is playing but without developing a headache. Plus I always ask if there is a special radio station they would like to listen to.
* AC vers Heat - I always ask them if they are needed.
* Watching Uber/Lyft video's as a source to better yourself as a driver - Started this "Before" driving for Lyft and still do it regularly to see what kind of crap pax may be doing during certain rides.
* I'll leave you a Tip on the App - Lol don't count on it! I have heard this many times and never received the tip for anyone that states they will although I do get quite a few tips daily if they talk about doing it then chances are they won't.
* Question: at what age does the "KID" have to be before a driver should take them? also at what age does the Child have to be before you take them without a car seat? - I do get them from time to time but to me 1/2 the time they look a little to big for a booster or car seat (My Opinion).
Thanks for taking the time to view and for your answers.
Car seat laws vary by state. Usually, it’s more weight and height than age that determines
Here in Hawaii, its 7yo or 70lbs to need a car seat or booster. And solo passengers need to be 18yo.
I'm 68 and drove for Uber a few years ago did 625 trips. They are still the worst company I ever worked for. Been with lift for years now and they are great.
I love this guy, great advice with issues I have already encountered...
Excellent information done with a positive attitude.
I always ask if the music is too loud, most people tell me they can't hear it, and that I should turn it up.
I have been driving for Uber Lyft for more than a year and one of my positive takes that most drivers can agree on is the convenience you can get paid direct deposit on your bank account on the same day as your chosen option if you wanted to up to 5 times. The downside which when you breakdown the numbers are some says the pay after all expenses.
Uber Lyft is great only for those drivers have financial needs to supplement their finances. However, like Dustin is driving said it’s really designed to be a part time gig whether we have a full time job or not.
I tried to use your referral link to sign up for Uber but Uber is giving me a hard time to receive the signup bonus and they ask me to ask you to contact Uber to verify! Is that something you would do? 😭😅🙏🏽
Great video man! Just did the referal steps. Keep up the good work!
It's wise to avoid all possible liability situations. You might have good intentions in assisting people but if something goes wrong you are the first person they will be ready to sue or shut down.
I’m about to start with Ride sharing, thanks so much for your information to us newbies
I just started driving for uber friday, I do "drive around for rides" but that is mostly to get away from a city I don't want to drive in haha
had a very long trip today 72 miles passenger slept most of the ride which was perfect haha
Wasting gas plus you could get a ride back to the city
@@barbaralambert1002 hmm well, were these people are going 1 mile down the road and I'm earning $4/trip down there I'd rather speed back up to the city above where they are not going 1 mile away and are just too lazy to walk. thanks though.
I’ve been an Uber driver for 10 years with over 10,000 trips!! A lot of what you say is correct but you have to let people know where you drive. It’s not the same every where. I’m a NYC Uber driver and my experience is slightly different
If i use uber rental can i drive for lyft as well
Great information! Thank You!
Been ubering a couple of months. Good advice, thanks!
Definitely words to live by.... I've been doing this full time for about a year now and learned most of this stuff the hard way. Keep the vids coming, maybe there are a few more things I can learn... I signed up for the play octopus tablet but they aren't in my area yet (Orlando). I really want that thing or something Similar.
How much do you making doing this full time?
@@ErikHerrera18 .... I used to make at least $200 a day for about 10 hours... usually more. For UberX. Since the pandemic I stopped UberX (no rides) and been just doing Uber Eats. I dont make as much doing Uber Eats. Maybe avg. abou $150.
I don’t think I would rent Uber car because expensive to rent depends how much you make every day
The biggest mistake doing rideshare is doing ridesharing. Been there and did it. Still to this day Uber is the worst company I ever worked for. And in 67 yrs of age.
Mostly correct but disagree with mistakes 11 and 27.When you driving in a big city and your rider go outside area you have to turn off your app and return to city because next trip could be far away.I use to work in a taxi business for 22 years and my experience says 80% customers after long flights asking OPEN window in a car.Anyway,thank you for your views in ride-share business.🙏
I just subscribed, these helpful hints are amazing for a new driver like myself. KUDOS!
AWESOME THANK YOU!
Thank you for the great 30 tips on being an safe and successful Uber driver 🙂
A safe not an safe
Great stuff! Thanks for taking the time to share.
The GTA kinda vibe in the background is awesome.
I take issue with #6 buying a car to drive for rideshare. When I wanted to drive for Doordash, UberEats, and Grubhub, I thought the same way: get a car and deliver food; however, in my area, I quickly learned that. Google Maps takes me through the boondocks to get to a new subdivision, and it's dark with nothing but trees and cornfields. I was terrified. That's when I realized I needed a car that wouldn't leave me stranded. That's when I bought a new car with good gas mileage and low maintenance. I'm not worried about trading this car in because when I do, or if I do, it is still a good used car. I never worry about mileage because this is why I got the car. It is a work car to make money.
How long did you have to wait for your background check? Thanks...
Thanks Dylan! Regarding the Lyft app, I’ve had several instances where a rider try’s to add a stop but is not able to or if they do the navigation gets messed up. With Uber, yesterday in particular, after accepting a ride the navigation sent me 10 miles the opposite direction. Have you experienced any of these issues? I did call Uber about the navigation issue and it was brushed off to technical difficulties- quite disappointing. I haven’t called Lyft because there is no support number to call. What do you suggest?
When you're doing Uber Pool or Lyft Shared the passenger usually isn't allowed to change their destination, so that might be it. If they are really unable to change the destination then I'd just do it but make sure to contact support through that ride afterwards to tell them they tried to change the destination through the app but it wouldn't let them
The Rideshare Hub Thank you!
@@myraurquidez8539 Of course!
It cost the rider a $1 or 2 to change destination or add a stop. They're lying to you that the app "won't allow them to make a change";, they don't want to pay an extra dollar. Guess what kind of tip you will get from these types?
@@TalkingOutOfSchool I agree. Cuz usually when you tell them you can't add a stop unless they put it in the app they just say okay forget about it.
Another scam they try is once they are in the car getting you to make an additional (quick stop) without putting it in the app. I had to put a lady out for that, and learned if the additional stop is not in the app when we begin the trip I'm taking them to the original destination period.
Great tips! Thank you!
Thanks for letting me know that Uber can apply the referral code again. My husband just signed up and did not do any rides. Can you let me know what is your code and if he could apply it in Texas?
Im planning on doing this. How will this effect my car insurance i have AAA will it conflict if i get a car insurance.
A question here... what if people travel with animals? Like let's say a big dog? Like a support animal. Do you carry a blanket, so they can lay on it on a back seat? Or??? I'm about to start driving and this is something I keep thinking about. Thank you.
THANKS FOR THE REFERRAL
The best advice you have given to Drivers 🙏👍.
Make a video, please, about passengers as well. Some of the passengers are so difficult to deal with they have no respect and no manners at all.
That’s soo true !!!
I don’t see a retroactive sign-up bonus for Uber :/ ?
One of my favorite beaches in the world, Calafia in san Clemente. I used to go there almost every day for years. My friends and I would body board and clime the cliffs in the background. I recognize it right away.
It’s an amazing beach!! So cool that someone recognized it :)
Thanks, I've been doing Uber for 2 weeks now, I'm also a rider, so I understand your list 💯 , I'll also be starting Lyft this week
Excellent review!, Thanks!!!
Sleep is very important and taking a break and getting out and walking around doing a little bit of exercise outdoors or go to the gym but sometimes I don't even know I'm sleepy, and I was told to take the heat and take it off my face and put it you know towards the feet. But when I know I'm tired I come off the road and go to all night McDonald's or Royal farms because they're 24 hours in Wawa
I'm not an Uber or Lyft driver but I still enjoy your videos. One suggestion would be to break this content into 6 different videos no more than 5 minutes long. I don't have the patience to watch 25 minutes at one time. It helps you monetize you channel by offering 6 shorter videos VS one long video and you could potentially get more like from all channel surfers. Thanks for the content.
What dash can do you use?
I used to instacart, but my insurance company doesn't cover side gigs and those that do, it's $1600 for 6 months!. I'm in CA btw
Confirmation ... I'm a good driver. I don't keep snacks or water for passengers though. and when I first started driving, I kept my trunk full. I learned pretty quick that was not a good idea. Thank you.
Thank you. You are awesome! I love your sense of humor! Keep it up!
the rest, exercise and enough sleep point ought to be one of the first, most important points
I like the back drop bro! Cool spot 🤙
Great jog. thanks for sharing keep the good work
Me: watching this video at 5 am after a whole day of driving
Him: don’t see your phone when you go to bed
Me: 😴😴
How do you set up the destination mode on filter with Uber ?
Click on the magnifying glass icon. You usually get 2 per day.
Thank you for your insight!!!!
If possible I declined rides where people need assistance or have wheelchairs.
Once I picked up a 500+ lb woman in a wheelchair from the hospital. She could not stand up or walk and the hospital staff left her abandoned on the street. I was not going to attempt to help her into the car. Fortunately for her a nice man on the street helped her into the car. Before we pulled off I asked her if she had someone at home to help her get out of the car and she said yes but when we got there no one came out to help her so I ended up sitting there wasting time and money while she was on the phone trying to reach somebody... because I was certainly not going to put myself at risk by assisting her. Finally she reached someone to help her.
I try to avoid these situations if possible but sometimes you have no way of knowing until you get there. But you can still decline the ride once you get there if that's what you decide to do.
It might sound bad but what are you going to do if she falls and injuries herself or you? Now you have major liability issues when the whole thing could have been avoided. These type passengers do not need Uber or Lyft they need a special needs ride service.
Thank you great motivation and information
What camera did you use to film this vlog , Dylan?
Where is the information on the rideshare apps?
I help with bags without being asked because the quicker I am done with them the quicker I can get another ride.
You’re a good person. ❤
Awesome tips!! Thx
What's the car go thing that sounds dope
