I'm fairly new to this (300 rides) and the one heads up I can give new drivers is that people are disgusting. I have cleaned my car more times in the last 2 months than I have in the 5 years I've owned the car. I have found used diapers, snot rags, boogers etc in the seat pouches of the car. People get in the car with mud and dog poop on their shoes and like to wipe their shoes off on your mats. Get a small electric power washer for your home so when you need to, you can give the car a quick wash or pull out your mats and wash them real quick
Everybody says how much it sucks, but ive met ppl who were happy driving & told me they've made alot of $, i think it depends more on your attitude & effort, nobody wants to be a slave but with most corporate jobs you feel like that anyway
NOT ME. I LOVE DRIVING FOR UBER BUT THEY ARE BEING SHADY WITH MY PAY. I SUGGESTED THEY USE QUICKBOOKS... THEN PAY ME WHAT THEY OWE. I THINK THEY WILL BECAUSE THEY KNOW THAT I AM AN ASSET TO THEIR COMPANY AND A MONEY MAKER. BEEN DRIVING A MONTH AND ALREADY DIAMOND LEVEL WITH OVER 500 RIDES. A FEW HUNDRED 5 STAR RATINGS.
I did my first day as an Uber Driver. Had a great day, made more in one day then one day at my old job! Love these suggestions! Thank you for doing this! I have subscribed!
You likely didn't after expenses and also they won't continue to pay way. It's their way of getting you to drive and be dependent and then with each app update they lay you wayyyy less.
@@alexschu1245 I currently own a brand new (2022) Mitsubishi with a manual transmission that achieves an impressive average of 38.5 MPG. I have received valuable advice and have been implementing it successfully. I approach my driving experience with the same level of dedication and professionalism I have acquired throughout my years in customer service. As part of my exceptional customer service, I consistently provide bottled water and mints to my passengers. By delivering outstanding service, I have managed to convert some of the shorter rides, not always the most desirable ones, into longer and more profitable trips. Perhaps I am fortunate at the moment, but whatever strategies I am employing, they are yielding positive results.
@@alexschu1245It's possible, but very rare. I've driven for 5 years. Some days I made $40/hr. Most days I made less than minimum wage. Today I made $0 for the entire day. As of right now I'm actually in the negative. I need enough to pay for 2 full tanks of gas to break even. I'm also 2 months behind on the car payment and 1 month behind on rent. I don't know if there's too many drivers, lack of rides, or both. I've tried everything. I tried accepting every single ride, accepting only worthwhile rides, and even accepting only the best rides. Your rating makes no difference, Uber admits they remove low ratings. Uber also admits they censor us if we make them look bad.
FYI drivers! Just to let you know that if i request a ride on the UberEats app for Uber, there is no option for me to tip the Uber driver after they drop me off! Hope you can complain to the company so they can fix this issue!
Uber shouldn’t be sending out new requests while you’re on a ride especially if your vehicle is in motion. We may see a lawsuit due to this feature. It’s very dangerous.
You just stop the app once you accept a ride like you're logging off for the day and start it back when you're ready to accept another ride. I thought everyone knew this. But the idea is to keep you busy especially if you're close to the next potential pickup.
I use Uber to fill in the gaps for my handyman business, helps me to keep my prices high in my real business having an alternative and also an easier job for when I don’t want to work that hard
Do like the illegals and accept every order to keep getting consistent orders. After about 20 hrs of food delivery you'll make $50 and repeat the next day. Lol
Right. Tips are low on food deliveries. Big reason is the food already has increased prices ($8 burger costs $10.50 etc), and then service charges and delivery fees. An order that would cost $20 from the restaurant directly can cost $30-35 before they even get to the point of including a tip. The food delivery companies contracting out drivers are taking so much for themselves people just aren't willing or able to pay more for good tips. And really, I get it. If I order a $20 pizza but it's $33 after the increased item price and all the fees and charges it's hard to talk yourself into coughing up a good tip and paying $40 for a $20 pizza.
@@ChRisu_Ojisan Being lazy and delivering food for a living days are over bud. Time to finally get a real job and contribute to society like you're suppose to.
@@JuliusTurner-hm6ffI’d argue that food delivery drivers have been an essential part of the economy for decades by now. And people drivers of all types have been toting people around since horse and buggy and days! Just because it’s not developing new cancer screening technology doesn’t mean that it doesn’t “contributing to society”. 🙄 There’s a reason why congress can still intervene to stop unions from striking in the railway and airline industries. It really doesn’t get more essential than the movement of people and things.
But not everyone wants passengers in their vehicle. Sometimes, I'm in a rough area and I'll pick up food rather than a person. Also, if you don't own a car you can do deliveries on a scooter or e-bike which saves time because finding parking isn't a factor.
I drove the food delivery for a few weeks and called Uber and said I will no longer do food delivery, Tios were usually $1 and wait time to pick up food averaged 10-15 minutes. Too many days I netted $30-$50 . NOT worth the wear and tear on you and your car.
@@natashadickson4819I agree and it’s also nice to have someone ride with you while you deliver as well. I do both and make more money driving BUT enjoy delivering food for the exact reason you said. No peeps

Hi Chris! Thanks to you and Sergio BTW, for the Show Me the Money series. A couple of things, Las Vegas, where I drive is a small area, in many to most places the roads are shitty and the stoplights are many, with some very long along main roads, i.e. Flamingo, Tropicana, Desert Inn, and many more which cross the Valley E/W. Then there is road construction! What all of this means, is with all of the above, there is more gas/battery used, abuse on the tires and oils. Nothing a driver to do can prevent or avoid this. Regarding income, a video on what’s reportable tax-wise from your income doc’s, eg. Fees, etc. Thanks!
If you get an order of 6 cases of 40 half liter bottles of water ( it might be to the 2nd or 3rd floor of an apartment ), don't accept that load, you can cancel it from yourself. It is horrible and it paid $5.50 and the guy tipped ZERO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes, true. Don't take really heavy things !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As someone who moved furniture (mainly) for rich people for two years…carrying up 20 cases of water 3 flights of stairs would be shitty to do, but I’d much rather do that than move an entire apartment from the 3rd floor in 4-5 hours like I’ve done before. I get what you’re saying though. I would normally get really good tips after long days. So doing all that for someone to not give you ANYTHING afterwards and only being paid 5 dollars from the people you’re doing the running around for would have me disgruntled for sure. Much ❤ 🤟🏾
I’ve been driving for 3 years and I have made dam good money. I just have 3 simple rules 1) I drive at a set time 5-7 hours 2) I drive two days. Fri/sat 3) uber is a hustle. That means get in, make some money and stop! This is not a replacement for your full time job.
I’ve been driving for about 6 years off and on, for some reason almost nobody wants to give tips anymore. It’s pretty disappointing when drivers pay for so much of what goes into, well…. driving a car. Lyft and Uber seem to want to include “tips” into the numbers for what drivers earn which allows them to keep the base pay somewhat lower. Tip your drivers folks, if you have no complaints tip your drivers!
@@baetsangseleke4248What does THAT mean? If Uber and Lyft are making BILLIONS off of other people's driving, they need to either pay more or people should tip more. Period.
I am a passenger. When i request a ride using the UberEats app, there is no option for me to tip the Uber driver after the ride is over! Beware that is one of the reasons you are not getting tips!
I got one.. When you come to MacArthur, stay offline until the flight lands or go outside of the airport (surge)no surge, no ride. Or they could just raise the rates and cut their percentages back to max 25-30%
Heck yeah. For driving 7 passengers only $10 & the trip wasn't even short. They need to start asking how many passengers and give us the fee for so many passengers.
Uber Eats is just not profitable at all and I live in the Chicagoland area, which is a busy metropolitan area. I tried it for a week, and I was only making decent money from Starbucks and McDonalds. I had some requests for $2 to deliver food for a 4 mile drive. Not even worth getting out of the car when a tip is not guaranteed. I completely keep it off now. I focus on rides only.
Depends on the number of miles for $18. A dollar or more per mile is usually enough for drivers to accept. ..maybe it's the passenger being overcharged by the app.
our Uber x does not show up front pay just km to pick up passenger not where they are going or payout drove 25 minutes to receive $5.16 passenger drop off was 5 minutes away from his pick up only Uber eats shows payout ad km
My tip would be not to drive during the slow months due to all the oversaturation. It's criminal. Summer and winter in Los Angeles will have you questioning why you signed up in the first place. You can sit on the same corner for maybe half an hour or more and think to move to another corner in any popular area of the entire county you can think of: they're all swarmed with Uber/Lyft drivers and you have no requests. Or you didn't match fast enough and another driver took the request. As a new driver, you probably don't know requests were sent one at a time back in the day and this was not a problem. The requests under $5 go mostly unanswered, but those also are about all that will pop up. LAX lot? No, LAX lot is typically 300 cars any time you look and when you get there the queue will be full already, but you're nowhere close to LAX anyway so why burn the miles. Sorry, but no airport rides will conveniently pop up for you either! I spent over five hours out driving for Uber Tuesday to only pick up TWO people. One took me to Simi Valley and tipped $100 bill, but I ended up driving all the way back to Downtown LA (even after trying to wait for someone at Universal Studios but no one requested) and going offline in defeat. I wanted to accrue the hours for my $1300 medical stipend, but I don't know how at this crappy rate.
It’s ok to dirty app when it’s super Slow 🐢 or if out of town trying to get a ride back to your local area….. Use 2 devices when running more than one app if possible….
Uber just like any other platform has its pros and cons however, for me is meeting new people and understanding that word of mouth can get you far as well. I do it because I enjoy it. It gives me something to do it clears my mind for the most part although we do have crazies out here one monkey does not stop no show.
What do you do when you have a rider and you have not dropped off your rider and you get a ride xl request? This just happened to me. I did not agree to the xl ride because i had a ride going on at the time.i did not know if it was prebooking or what. Could someone tell me what it is doing 🤔
A good tip for riders don’t leave your garbage in a car knowing the driver might not have time to reclean their car and have to pick up another passenger. I’ve had passengers wipe dog 💩 off their shoes in my car very disgusting luckily I smelled it before picking up the next passenger.
Great video... One question : How to choose a ride ? What do you consider time or miles ? Long rides or short ones ? Rush hour or not ? What about week ends ? When to start working ? Early morning, late at the afternoon ?
They need to know that they need to know that they need the proper insurance when using their car as a commercial vehicle. They need to know they need a cam because they will be falsely accused of harassment. The need to know that money is not made as easily as it used to be. They need to know that waiting at the airport is not worth it, it takes 2 to 3 hours to get a ride.
I remember when I used to drive XL, waiting at the airport for 2-3 hours, only to get a $12 pay for picking up six passengers, twenty suitcases… and no tip… 😂 I don’t wish driving for Uber or Lyft even to my worst enemies. One of the best decisions in my life was quitting driving for these crooks.
Norfolk airport, wait no more than 20m for a ride, and surprisingly, it pays decent. I guess it depends on the area. Last week, that's all I did, and I dropped off twice and picked up back to back. Made 313 and change. Out of that, 78 was tips. Time on, not online time, 3 hours 42m
As much as i appreciate this channel and all the advocating you are doing for the drivers, I can’t recommend driving these platforms at the rates and risk drivers are incurring. As a driver in this game for the last year and doing almost 3000 trips, you will drive your car into the ground, if you get an accident even if it’s not your fault, the rideshare company doesn’t give a shit about you no matter how many five stars you have. It’s better to find a part-time job that you don’t have to put your self at risk, making peanuts while the companies are overcharging and underpaying the people actually doing the work. Save yourself the hassle and don’t do rideshare anymore. It’s not worth it.
The problem is that even part-time jobs are ridiculously low pay AND you have to wait for them to hire you, IF they do. With rideshare, at least it's something you can do as much or as little as you want. It's good when you're trying to earn something IN BETWEEN jobs.
Not always an option. I’m signing up to drive uber as a 2nd job because my salary no longer pays my bills. My first job works what’s called a “DuPont” schedule- [12 hour shifts rotating between days and nights after each set of days off. Ex: 4 nights, 3 off, 3 days, 1 off, 3 nights, 3 off, 4 days, 7 off, then repeat There is no possible way to work a second job on this schedule since there are no consistent calendar days off. Uber/lyft/etc. are the only ways to make your own hours that I know of, making it pretty much the only option for more work
I'm not from US I'm from a third world nation and your advices were great for new drivers. All the rules and suggestions don't apply here but still very informative. thanks. I have a different problem though, somedays i dont feel motivated to work at all, since driving is my sole earning way so not going to work everyday damage me a lot.
Most of the passengers don't like smell of overheated plastic or textile, or sweat, they prefer nice smell or cologne. You are allergic? Take a walk, other people doesn't need to suffer your problems.
Thinking about doing this. I need to have some income since Im unemployed at the moment. Does the app keep up with everything when it comes to taxes? I am signed up with amazon flex but i dont want to use it.
I'm a driver from Indiana and have driven in other states, including New Mexico, Florida, and Tennessee. I also drove a few times in Atlanta and done 2 airport rides. I currently have approximately 17,500 rides from Uber and almost 6000 trips from Lyft. I've been driving about 8 years, 6 years full-time, and 2 years part-time. I have a lot of experience and insight when it comes to Uber and Lyft and would like to share my experiences with others. If you would be interested in contacting me and asking in-depth questions about the areas I've driven in, then please contact me. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Hey I’m just curious what your worst and best experiences have been doing this work? I’m looking to get into this as a full time job and want to hear the pros and cons of both working with riders and the companies themselves. Hope you get back to me. No rush
@@NicholasBroussard-v4q Bro, don't do this as a full time job especially with your own vehicle. Any monies you make in profit today will go back to fixing the wear and tear on your car on the back end further down the road. Trust me, you make no money with these apps. They're all a gimmick to line their own greedy fat pockets. The only reason I drive as of today is because Uber does have a program with Hertz where you can rent a car for $318 a week. I do this since I'm between cars and in the process of saving for down payment and fixing credit. But I drive the very minimum, just enough to make the weekly rent and some gas money. I do have a full time job though. Believe me, driving will burn up your car in no time. Plus you have expenses in high gas prices, tolls and taxes. I really don't see how any driver is making a liveable income driving for these gremlins.
I talk all the time! Got a 1 star for it recently. Its my 3rd one. Going to sell my rideshare book out of the car from now on until I retire. I talked it up to every single passenger if possible. So sick of this gig job.
Some passengers don’t want to talk at all and will actually tip you if you stay silent. Some passengers, females in particular, find it creepy if you’re silent… Therefore, you need to test what the passenger wants…
@@onedaily2471 Oh I understand. I have conducted unknowingly a social experiment. I know a lot more than I will post here. You'll have to read my books to learn more.
Yep. You gotta feel your target market. Some of my passengers are silent and those are the ones most likely are NOT gonna tip. The ones I get good tips are the ones that love to talk. Best tips I've had are $12-15 for giving a good talk and a safe drive. Also..keeping a bottle of febreze in your trunk to keep your car smelling good. This goes along way and spray your car with Lysol at least twice a day to help keep the germs and such down. The febreze is VERY important if you got riders who smell like weed.
Okay I've been doing Uber eats for the past month and I have not seen anything about a surge.. so my question is I guess I'll see it now since I'm doing the rides also?? And do you get paid right after you complete the ride correct?
I enjoy the honesty from your channel,but I suggest most of drivers that want to waste hours driving.they are better off flipping burgers part time as a second income or donating plasma 😅honestly most markets you bleed out on average 300 miles a day for a gross income of 200?
$200 a day is $1000 every 5 days with flexible hours. Works for parents who have kids in school. Plus the IRS lets us write off 65 cents per mile and other expenses when we file.
@@natashadickson4819 uber is a scam. i have been doing uber and lyft for 6 years. it take a while to figure it out.after the 100 thousand miles your car starts to breal down,then payback kicks in with car depreciation,brakes,taxes,its like a credit card,you get money now but you pay back later with interest, you will see with time.
I run Lyft a few days a week, thus past Saturday i got a ping ya know for a ride etc, etc. I get the to the pick up, it was apartment/condos. 1 person walks out, then another, then another, total of 4! But here's the kicker, one girl walks out with maybe 13m old baby. The guy is at my rear passenger's door ya know, and im like i can't take all of you! He says what? I said im not taking all of you, you have a baby with no car seat, where is that baby going to sit safely in my vehicle? He just looked at me. And his girlfriend im assuming asked what did he say? I step out of my vehicle and i said, sorry i can't take all of you with a child and with no car seat, not gonna happen, even if was 2 of you. You still have a child with no car seat, no protection of any kind before getting into my car, not if was just the 4 of u and no kid fine, you have 4 adults, 1 kid, no car seat ! Call another Lyft, YOU need an suv and a car seat, period! The man understood after i explained it. He was cool, but his girl wasn't! I left!
Very few pax use seat belts anyway, so the passenger count is about moot. And regarding citations from cops about too many people, I've NEVER heard of that actually happening to any driver. I believe it's slightly more common than winning the mega millions jackpot and slightly less common than being struck by lightning.
Hello, my name is Gloria, and I am a new driver for Uber. I sent an email to Uber two days ago, complaining and asking what was going on, and they paid me 4.67 for a 22-mile one-way service, plus a 5-dollar tip from the passenger. Meanwhile, I reviewed my previous week's records and saw that I too had a delivery issue. Instead of addressing the root cause, they are now sending me emails explaining how we are paid, which is confusing.Forty-eight cts/mile?! If they continue to abuse or steal from us without giving us a reason, what can I do?
Not sure how to see the tip or where it's going all I see is how far away the pick up is I blindly accepted a ride not sure how to see info did my first pick up
Okay I am a Diamond Driver and the new app has ruined everything for us drivers. It doesn't matter what time or how long you drive you will make the same amount of money. Reason why is because they will give you a ride for good pay then make you drive 15 to 20 minutes away to pick someone up for 5 dollars. Been doing this for a while now and it's horrible now. I loved to drive and meet new people but I see myself wasting more gas and driving more miles. The is NO customer service!!! Oh and if the customer lies they will ALWAYS take the customers side. Your on your own and they don't care about you. Drive safe and please look into something else because it's not what they say now. I live in Houston Texas and don't see how other people say they make money when the cost of living is more elsewhere.
Heres something I just realized. If it's a $3 ride and you're picking up someone from a grocery store or laundry don't accept the ride. I found these to usually be the most troublesome. I refuse to help you load and unload your groceries for fucking $3 dollars even it's just a 2min drive. The baggers get more in tips. These people never tip and take forever then expect you to help them carry their groceries.
If your market doesn’t have upfront fares then you won’t see the ride info upfront. Many markets and cities have not changed to upfront fares and are still paid through time/distance model
Companies like Uber and Lyft couldn' care less about how much gas we use, how many miles we drive, or how often we replace the oil. If they continue to pay us less than we're worth, withhold gratuities, or otherwise treat us poorly for the work we perform and the use of our own automobiles, we will eventually give up and quit.
Well somebody have to take people around. If we all gave up on this company people will be, Helpless. To each his own. Do what make you happy & content. Just stay above water. Life is tough
CAUTION!! - Note to everyone: I received a pop-up notification when downloading SOLO. The notification stated that a third party from Russia was attempting to tap into my phone.
Get in my car it’s Hey how you doing?, after that air pods back on I don’t really care about talking to random ppl. Unless they engage and then I’m forced to talk especially if they talk too much and ask questions lol
I have noticed a decline in my earnings. So I am doing something else and only drive during surge times. I reject about 80 percent of the trash they send me. getting worse and worse Dont do it you will lose big time. These people are rotten to the core at this company. Do you want to move forward and increase earnings or go backwards and decrease them? With Uber you are going backwards as they become more and more profitable from stealing your money
@@mikefigures5075while here in Eastern PA, in 2 hours only received 2 calls 😅, very disappointed. My profile is high, but looks like it doesn’t matter. Actually looking for another job to pay bills😊
@@mikefigures5075 sometimes I get that. But there is definitely a decline. Unless it's a holiday weekend, new years or the day before Thanksgiving. Used to be like that. They are chipping away at your profits in order to raise their profits.
The stupidest thing about Lyft: You could have both Lyft and Uber on. And you get a ride on Uber. While driving your Uber passenger you keep Lyft on. You got a couple of lyft requests that you ignore You drop your passenger off and sit and wait for your next ride But because you have Uber up you don't realize that lift has logged you off. What benefit is it for lyft to log you off and not tell you? It doesn't benefit Lyft, it doesn't benefit you and it doesn't benefit possible Lyft passengers. It's an easy fix, but lift evidently has no idea how its drivers multitask and use the apps.
@@ChickenThug55 I always keep both apps on at all times. Because if I'm on my way to pick up a $5 Lyft ride and I get offered a 35.00 Uber airport ride you had better believe I'm goin to cancel that Lyft ride to go for the big fish. Same goes the other way around if Lyft gives me a big ride. I have been driving for 7 years 8 to 10 hours a day 6 days a week. Of course you have to be careful because Lyft likes to threaten you for canceling too many rides. But this is all besides the point because Lyft is really mostly hurting itself if I'm off lift for a little while, I have zero chance of getting a ride on Lyft and 100% chance of getting a ride on Uber. Lyft forgets that if it's driver is not online then they can't accept rides. Uber pings you when they ask you if you want to go offline after x number of ride requests rejected or missed. This is why Uber is a much better app in every way and Lyft is just stupid and that is why they may eventually go under.
I am only a month old .I need to admit that if you are dressed like you are going out ,any passenger that you have will look and think about you differently,and that my friends earns you more respect that equals more generous tips .let your personality be your asset .be safe

Uber often coming up with 210 dollar promotion for those who choose driven electric vehicles but that are hard to believer when driver get pay almost nothing in many ride haw you those that two hundred and then easily ben takes front every pickup lookout driver

I'm fairly new to this (300 rides) and the one heads up I can give new drivers is that people are disgusting. I have cleaned my car more times in the last 2 months than I have in the 5 years I've owned the car. I have found used diapers, snot rags, boogers etc in the seat pouches of the car. People get in the car with mud and dog poop on their shoes and like to wipe their shoes off on your mats. Get a small electric power washer for your home so when you need to, you can give the car a quick wash or pull out your mats and wash them real quick
Everybody says how much it sucks, but ive met ppl who were happy driving & told me they've made alot of $, i think it depends more on your attitude & effort, nobody wants to be a slave but with most corporate jobs you feel like that anyway

Uber shouldn’t be sending out new requests while you’re on a ride especially if your vehicle is in motion. We may see a lawsuit due to this feature. It’s very dangerous.
You just stop the app once you accept a ride like you're logging off for the day and start it back when you're ready to accept another ride. I thought everyone knew this. But the idea is to keep you busy especially if you're close to the next potential pickup.
all u do is hit the button to not send u other request til ur done then turn it back on when finished 🤷🏻♀️
Not for me
Omgggg I was finna make a complaint about this it’s annoying asf
@@ssheets1978 that’s not true. Once you hit that coffee button you can’t hit it again for another hour I think.
I use Uber to fill in the gaps for my handyman business, helps me to keep my prices high in my real business having an alternative and also an easier job for when I don’t want to work that hard
Be safe out there! I did Uber 6 years ago. I respect the hustle. Tip your drivers 😎
I did 20 trips and got tipped twice
Only good ones.
I have to keep in mind that people are struggling and some might not be able to afford to tip on top of their ride share bill.
When I first started driving for uber I didn’t realize how good of a rider I was. As I always tip and never made my driver wait.
food delivery is trash, People don't tip and sometimes it takes you 30 minute to make $2.38.
Do like the illegals and accept every order to keep getting consistent orders. After about 20 hrs of food delivery you'll make $50 and repeat the next day. Lol
Right. Tips are low on food deliveries. Big reason is the food already has increased prices ($8 burger costs $10.50 etc), and then service charges and delivery fees. An order that would cost $20 from the restaurant directly can cost $30-35 before they even get to the point of including a tip. The food delivery companies contracting out drivers are taking so much for themselves people just aren't willing or able to pay more for good tips. And really, I get it. If I order a $20 pizza but it's $33 after the increased item price and all the fees and charges it's hard to talk yourself into coughing up a good tip and paying $40 for a $20 pizza.
@@ChRisu_Ojisan Being lazy and delivering food for a living days are over bud. Time to finally get a real job and contribute to society like you're suppose to.
@JuliusTurner-hm6ff LMAO !! You are a dumbass, I have a full time job. I do uber after I get out of work.
@@JuliusTurner-hm6ffI’d argue that food delivery drivers have been an essential part of the economy for decades by now. And people drivers of all types have been toting people around since horse and buggy and days! Just because it’s not developing new cancer screening technology doesn’t mean that it doesn’t “contributing to society”. 🙄
There’s a reason why congress can still intervene to stop unions from striking in the railway and airline industries. It really doesn’t get more essential than the movement of people and things.
Part time Uber Driver here, love it and meeting people.
Picking up food is time consuming and doesn’t pay enough.None of the food delivery apps including Uber eats gives you a loading sign.
But not everyone wants passengers in their vehicle. Sometimes, I'm in a rough area and I'll pick up food rather than a person. Also, if you don't own a car you can do deliveries on a scooter or e-bike which saves time because finding parking isn't a factor.
I drove the food delivery for a few weeks and called Uber and said I will no longer do food delivery, Tios were usually $1 and wait time to pick up food averaged 10-15 minutes. Too many days I netted $30-$50 . NOT worth the wear and tear on you and your car.
@@natashadickson4819I agree and it’s also nice to have someone ride with you while you deliver as well. I do both and make more money driving BUT enjoy delivering food for the exact reason you said. No peeps

Hi Chris! Thanks to you and Sergio BTW, for the Show Me the Money series.
A couple of things, Las Vegas, where I drive is a small area, in many to most places the roads are shitty and the stoplights are many, with some very long along main roads, i.e. Flamingo, Tropicana, Desert Inn, and many more which cross the Valley E/W. Then there is road construction!
What all of this means, is with all of the above, there is more gas/battery used, abuse on the tires and oils. Nothing a driver to do can prevent or avoid this.
Regarding income, a video on what’s reportable tax-wise from your income doc’s, eg. Fees, etc.
Thanks!
If you get an order of 6 cases of 40 half liter bottles of water ( it might be to the 2nd or 3rd floor of an apartment ), don't accept that load, you can cancel it from yourself. It is horrible and it paid $5.50 and the guy tipped ZERO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes, true. Don't take really heavy things !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That was me, I always do that🤣🤣
@@bezimienny9015sometimes we don’t have a way to get around and may be using EBT 😢 sometimes we just don’t have it❤
As someone who moved furniture (mainly) for rich people for two years…carrying up 20 cases of water 3 flights of stairs would be shitty to do, but I’d much rather do that than move an entire apartment from the 3rd floor in 4-5 hours like I’ve done before.
I get what you’re saying though. I would normally get really good tips after long days. So doing all that for someone to not give you ANYTHING afterwards and only being paid 5 dollars from the people you’re doing the running around for would have me disgruntled for sure. Much ❤ 🤟🏾
Something is off with tips--Im starting to see it may not be people not tipping, it may be the companies not giving the tips to us!!!
I’ve been driving for 3 years and I have made dam good money. I just have 3 simple rules
1) I drive at a set time 5-7 hours
2) I drive two days. Fri/sat
3) uber is a hustle. That means get in, make some money and stop! This is not a replacement for your full time job.
I’ve been driving for about 6 years off and on, for some reason almost nobody wants to give tips anymore. It’s pretty disappointing when drivers pay for so much of what goes into, well…. driving a car. Lyft and Uber seem to want to include “tips” into the numbers for what drivers earn which allows them to keep the base pay somewhat lower. Tip your drivers folks, if you have no complaints tip your drivers!
It's all about lucrative business. Tips or not concentrate on what is yours
@@baetsangseleke4248What does THAT mean? If Uber and Lyft are making BILLIONS off of other people's driving, they need to either pay more or people should tip more. Period.
I tip almost every time. Especially if nice person clean.
I am a passenger. When i request a ride using the UberEats app, there is no option for me to tip the Uber driver after the ride is over! Beware that is one of the reasons you are not getting tips!
Keep pushing I just ordered from Uber and tipped my driver a 20. I didn't go get it so I appreciate what you do. 🎉
I got one..
When you come to MacArthur, stay offline until the flight lands or go outside of the airport (surge)no surge, no ride. Or they could just raise the rates and cut their percentages back to max 25-30%
Only if one drives on Long Island…
I can’t see the amount $ it just shows 7 mins away how can I change that
Should be payed more if you have 4 riders under x
Yes. This. . .
Heck yeah. For driving 7 passengers only $10 & the trip wasn't even short. They need to start asking how many passengers and give us the fee for so many passengers.
Agree! I was thinking the same thing.
Uber Eats is just not profitable at all and I live in the Chicagoland area, which is a busy metropolitan area. I tried it for a week, and I was only making decent money from Starbucks and McDonalds. I had some requests for $2 to deliver food for a 4 mile drive. Not even worth getting out of the car when a tip is not guaranteed. I completely keep it off now. I focus on rides only.
Lyft/uber treating drivers as slaves . $82 trip driver got $18 honest to God
Depends on the number of miles for $18. A dollar or more per mile is usually enough for drivers to accept. ..maybe it's the passenger being overcharged by the app.
Same I asked the rider how much they paid, $96 trip uber paid me $26
@@bobbyflint1803 How many miles for $26?

I have this same problem. Are you still driving? How much do you average an hour before expenses?
Excelent info I been for a few months is been good for what I need, I don't need to work many hours.
The best weekday bonuses in my city are from around 4:00 am to about 8:00 am. Getting up around 3:30 am for that realky would suck!
Will be starting Iber soon! Just subbed to your channel all notifications on😃
My tip would be not to drive during the slow months due to all the oversaturation. It's criminal. Summer and winter in Los Angeles will have you questioning why you signed up in the first place. You can sit on the same corner for maybe half an hour or more and think to move to another corner in any popular area of the entire county you can think of: they're all swarmed with Uber/Lyft drivers and you have no requests. Or you didn't match fast enough and another driver took the request. As a new driver, you probably don't know requests were sent one at a time back in the day and this was not a problem. The requests under $5 go mostly unanswered, but those also are about all that will pop up. LAX lot? No, LAX lot is typically 300 cars any time you look and when you get there the queue will be full already, but you're nowhere close to LAX anyway so why burn the miles. Sorry, but no airport rides will conveniently pop up for you either! I spent over five hours out driving for Uber Tuesday to only pick up TWO people. One took me to Simi Valley and tipped $100 bill, but I ended up driving all the way back to Downtown LA (even after trying to wait for someone at Universal Studios but no one requested) and going offline in defeat. I wanted to accrue the hours for my $1300 medical stipend, but I don't know how at this crappy rate.
Thanks for ur valuable advice 🌹
We dont see all the information in my town. We just see time of ride, how far away they are and direction
It’s on your app map
Do you have any camera recommendation? Thanks.
It’s ok to dirty app when it’s super Slow 🐢 or if out of town trying to get a ride back to your local area….. Use 2 devices when running more than one app if possible….
I drive in Bentonville, Rogers, Springdale, and Fayetteville, Arkansas
I will be driving there also any insight I need to know
Uber just like any other platform has its pros and cons however, for me is meeting new people and understanding that word of mouth can get you far as well. I do it because I enjoy it. It gives me something to do it clears my mind for the most part although we do have crazies out here one monkey does not stop no show.
Good advice, wish I'd seen this video when I started.
What do you do when you have a rider and you have not dropped off your rider and you get a ride xl request? This just happened to me. I did not agree to the xl ride because i had a ride going on at the time.i did not know if it was prebooking or what. Could someone tell me what it is doing 🤔
Its stacking the ride order. You can accept the ride and then finish out your current ride where the app will then route to to the next ride
Do you know anything about reserved drives? Do you have a video about that scheduled rides?
The reservations can be great when it is reservation to airport. U can get good tips. I do all the time
Great advice God bless you
What states have upfront pricing? How does one get upfront pricing in their state thank you.
A good tip for riders don’t leave your garbage in a car knowing the driver might not have time to reclean their car and have to pick up another passenger. I’ve had passengers wipe dog 💩 off their shoes in my car very disgusting luckily I smelled it before picking up the next passenger.
Can someone explain to me what is the difference when I see an exclusive ride as to one that does not say exclusive
so why can't I see the destination and $$ for an Uber ride before I accept?
What do u use to track mileage expenses and earnings
Great video...
One question : How to choose a ride ? What do you consider time or miles ? Long rides or short ones ? Rush hour or not ? What about week ends ? When to start working ? Early morning, late at the afternoon ?
Lol😅 that was an interesting single question
That’s is awesome tips thanks so much for sharing ❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
They need to know that they need to know that they need the proper insurance when using their car as a commercial vehicle. They need to know they need a cam because they will be falsely accused of harassment. The need to know that money is not made as easily as it used to be. They need to know that waiting at the airport is not worth it, it takes 2 to 3 hours to get a ride.
I remember when I used to drive XL, waiting at the airport for 2-3 hours, only to get a $12 pay for picking up six passengers, twenty suitcases… and no tip… 😂
I don’t wish driving for Uber or Lyft even to my worst enemies.
One of the best decisions in my life was quitting driving for these crooks.
Norfolk airport, wait no more than 20m for a ride, and surprisingly, it pays decent. I guess it depends on the area. Last week, that's all I did, and I dropped off twice and picked up back to back. Made 313 and change. Out of that, 78 was tips. Time on, not online time, 3 hours 42m
As much as i appreciate this channel and all the advocating you are doing for the drivers, I can’t recommend driving these platforms at the rates and risk drivers are incurring. As a driver in this game for the last year and doing almost 3000 trips, you will drive your car into the ground, if you get an accident even if it’s not your fault, the rideshare company doesn’t give a shit about you no matter how many five stars you have. It’s better to find a part-time job that you don’t have to put your self at risk, making peanuts while the companies are overcharging and underpaying the people actually doing the work. Save yourself the hassle and don’t do rideshare anymore. It’s not worth it.
I totally agree with this. Been driving for 5 years. It's horrible now
The problem is that even part-time jobs are ridiculously low pay AND you have to wait for them to hire you, IF they do. With rideshare, at least it's something you can do as much or as little as you want. It's good when you're trying to earn something IN BETWEEN jobs.
I agree! Is not worth it !
Not always an option. I’m signing up to drive uber as a 2nd job because my salary no longer pays my bills. My first job works what’s called a “DuPont” schedule- [12 hour shifts rotating between days and nights after each set of days off.
Ex: 4 nights, 3 off, 3 days, 1 off, 3 nights, 3 off, 4 days, 7 off, then repeat
There is no possible way to work a second job on this schedule since there are no consistent calendar days off. Uber/lyft/etc. are the only ways to make your own hours that I know of, making it pretty much the only option for more work
I'm not from US I'm from a third world nation and your advices were great for new drivers. All the rules and suggestions don't apply here but still very informative. thanks. I have a different problem though, somedays i dont feel motivated to work at all, since driving is my sole earning way so not going to work everyday damage me a lot.
As a passenger, I'd add: please do not use cologne and do not use scented car products. Some people are allergic.
I wish some of my passengers followed that advice! 😅
Most of the passengers don't like smell of overheated plastic or textile, or sweat, they prefer nice smell or cologne. You are allergic? Take a walk, other people doesn't need to suffer your problems.
Me too 😂😂@@pdashley1617
I don’t know what’s wrong with young men they’re all wearing that garbage and it doesn’t get you girls it’s just gross

Hey I’m just curious what your worst and best experiences have been doing this work? I’m looking to get into this as a full time job and want to hear the pros and cons of both working with riders and the companies themselves. Hope you get back to me. No rush
@@NicholasBroussard-v4q Bro, don't do this as a full time job especially with your own vehicle. Any monies you make in profit today will go back to fixing the wear and tear on your car on the back end further down the road. Trust me, you make no money with these apps. They're all a gimmick to line their own greedy fat pockets. The only reason I drive as of today is because Uber does have a program with Hertz where you can rent a car for $318 a week. I do this since I'm between cars and in the process of saving for down payment and fixing credit. But I drive the very minimum, just enough to make the weekly rent and some gas money. I do have a full time job though. Believe me, driving will burn up your car in no time. Plus you have expenses in high gas prices, tolls and taxes. I really don't see how any driver is making a liveable income driving for these gremlins.
@@NicholasBroussard-v4q The only highlight I see is being able to have a flexible schedule
I talk all the time! Got a 1 star for it recently. Its my 3rd one. Going to sell my rideshare book out of the car from now on until I retire. I talked it up to every single passenger if possible. So sick of this gig job.
Some passengers don’t want to talk at all and will actually tip you if you stay silent.
Some passengers, females in particular, find it creepy if you’re silent…
Therefore, you need to test what the passenger wants…
@@onedaily2471 Oh I understand. I have conducted unknowingly a social experiment. I know a lot more than I will post here. You'll have to read my books to learn more.
Same
@@onedaily2471 Completely understand that too. Not everyone wants to talk.
Yep. You gotta feel your target market. Some of my passengers are silent and those are the ones most likely are NOT gonna tip. The ones I get good tips are the ones that love to talk. Best tips I've had are $12-15 for giving a good talk and a safe drive. Also..keeping a bottle of febreze in your trunk to keep your car smelling good. This goes along way and spray your car with Lysol at least twice a day to help keep the germs and such down. The febreze is VERY important if you got riders who smell like weed.
Okay I've been doing Uber eats for the past month and I have not seen anything about a surge.. so my question is I guess I'll see it now since I'm doing the rides also?? And do you get paid right after you complete the ride correct?
I enjoy the honesty from your channel,but I suggest most of drivers that want to waste hours driving.they are better off flipping burgers part time as a second income or donating plasma 😅honestly most markets you bleed out on average 300 miles a day for a gross income of 200?
$200 a day is $1000 every 5 days with flexible hours. Works for parents who have kids in school. Plus the IRS lets us write off 65 cents per mile and other expenses when we file.
@@natashadickson4819 uber is a scam. i have been doing uber and lyft for 6 years. it take a while to figure it out.after the 100 thousand miles your car starts to breal down,then payback kicks in with car depreciation,brakes,taxes,its like a credit card,you get money now but you pay back later with interest, you will see with time.
And I do it here in Tulsa Oklahoma and on the map it shows $4 signs and acting as if it's very very good to do the rides at, any advice on that?
So wait a second when the ride requests come in do you not see how much they are offering you?? I mean I don't see how that would work
I run Lyft a few days a week, thus past Saturday i got a ping ya know for a ride etc, etc. I get the to the pick up, it was apartment/condos. 1 person walks out, then another, then another, total of 4! But here's the kicker, one girl walks out with maybe 13m old baby. The guy is at my rear passenger's door ya know, and im like i can't take all of you! He says what? I said im not taking all of you, you have a baby with no car seat, where is that baby going to sit safely in my vehicle? He just looked at me. And his girlfriend im assuming asked what did he say? I step out of my vehicle and i said, sorry i can't take all of you with a child and with no car seat, not gonna happen, even if was 2 of you. You still have a child with no car seat, no protection of any kind before getting into my car, not if was just the 4 of u and no kid fine, you have 4 adults, 1 kid, no car seat ! Call another Lyft, YOU need an suv and a car seat, period! The man understood after i explained it. He was cool, but his girl wasn't! I left!
Very few pax use seat belts anyway, so the passenger count is about moot.
And regarding citations from cops about too many people, I've NEVER heard of that actually happening to any driver. I believe it's slightly more common than winning the mega millions jackpot and slightly less common than being struck by lightning.
@@bossbrent lmao, good points
That happens all the time
Sounds like more gas wasted and a cancelation without pay
Even if she had a car seat where is the child going to sit, 3 adults in the back and one in the front, where's the room for the kid.
Tip number 1: dont drive for these crooks. They steal half of the money from you
Nowadays, them ONLY stealing half of your money is considered good, as they steal consistently 75-80% of your pay.
@@onedaily2471 yep
Half? Where do you drive? I want to go there. They take 75-80% from me
Now you know why unions were formed.
How do you not get a cancellation rate of 3%, like in Australia? When this happens, you don't get any information of the fare being offered.

Hello, my name is Gloria, and I am a new driver for Uber.
I sent an email to Uber two days ago, complaining and asking what was going on, and they paid me 4.67 for a 22-mile one-way service, plus a 5-dollar tip from the passenger.
Meanwhile, I reviewed my previous week's records and saw that I too had a delivery issue. Instead of addressing the root cause, they are now sending me emails explaining how we are paid, which is confusing.Forty-eight cts/mile?!
If they continue to abuse or steal from us without giving us a reason, what can I do?
We have to strike..
How do you organize that?
1st thing to know before drive for Uber be ready to be robbed by the app repeatedly
Why is there no way to find customer service when Uber overcharged us for an amount that has already been agreed, I think it is not pair
Can you introduce some good dash cameras?
Thank you ❤
Not sure how to see the tip or where it's going all I see is how far away the pick up is I blindly accepted a ride not sure how to see info did my first pick up
Okay I am a Diamond Driver and the new app has ruined everything for us drivers. It doesn't matter what time or how long you drive you will make the same amount of money. Reason why is because they will give you a ride for good pay then make you drive 15 to 20 minutes away to pick someone up for 5 dollars. Been doing this for a while now and it's horrible now. I loved to drive and meet new people but I see myself wasting more gas and driving more miles. The is NO customer service!!! Oh and if the customer lies they will ALWAYS take the customers side. Your on your own and they don't care about you. Drive safe and please look into something else because it's not what they say now. I live in Houston Texas and don't see how other people say they make money when the cost of living is more elsewhere.
How do I get upfront pricing it doesn’t show a upfront pricing, only on the Uber delivery side it shows a upfront amount
Its 100% based on ur location every city has different formats
Heres something I just realized. If it's a $3 ride and you're picking up someone from a grocery store or laundry don't accept the ride. I found these to usually be the most troublesome. I refuse to help you load and unload your groceries for fucking $3 dollars even it's just a 2min drive. The baggers get more in tips. These people never tip and take forever then expect you to help them carry their groceries.

If your market doesn’t have upfront fares then you won’t see the ride info upfront. Many markets and cities have not changed to upfront fares and are still paid through time/distance model
Companies like Uber and Lyft couldn' care less about how much gas we use, how many miles we drive, or how often we replace the oil.
If they continue to pay us less than we're worth, withhold gratuities, or otherwise treat us poorly for the work we perform and the use of our own automobiles, we will eventually give up and quit.
WOW. GREAT ADVICE. UBER RIDE AND UBER EATS.
Thank you
New drivers don't waste your time neither resources. You will spend more money that what you make driving Uber and Lyft.
How much money do the drivers make per mile for ride share?😮
Here in South Africa they take 40% of what the passenger pays and the driver gets 60%

The stupidest thing about Lyft:
You could have both Lyft and Uber on. And you get a ride on Uber.
While driving your Uber passenger you keep Lyft on. You got a couple of lyft requests that you ignore
You drop your passenger off and sit and wait for your next ride
But because you have Uber up you don't realize that lift has logged you off.
What benefit is it for lyft to log you off and not tell you?
It doesn't benefit Lyft, it doesn't benefit you and it doesn't benefit possible Lyft passengers.
It's an easy fix, but lift evidently has no idea how its drivers multitask and use the apps.
That’s why you pause Lyft when you accept Uber. Same with multi apps with delivery and ride share vice versa.
@@ChickenThug55 I always keep both apps on at all times. Because if I'm on my way to pick up a $5 Lyft ride and I get offered a 35.00 Uber airport ride you had better believe I'm goin to cancel that Lyft ride to go for the big fish. Same goes the other way around if Lyft gives me a big ride. I have been driving for 7 years 8 to 10 hours a day 6 days a week. Of course you have to be careful because Lyft likes to threaten you for canceling too many rides. But this is all besides the point because Lyft is really mostly hurting itself if I'm off lift for a little while, I have zero chance of getting a ride on Lyft and 100% chance of getting a ride on Uber. Lyft forgets that if it's driver is not online then they can't accept rides. Uber pings you when they ask you if you want to go offline after x number of ride requests rejected or missed. This is why Uber is a much better app in every way and Lyft is just stupid and that is why they may eventually go under.
