10 is still too much because there's a very high likelihood we have to deadhead back to our spot. I rarely go more than 5 miles unless it's a $20 involved in there. I also live in a very high cost of living area and there's plenty of upper class neighborhoods all around me. They need to stop being so cheap.
Same here, continue to cherry pick don’t take the crappy orders only take good orders. The acceptance rate doesn’t mean anything. All it means is you have to schedule a dash you’re still gonna get the ping if you’re in the right location by the restaurant just don’t take the bad ones take good ones they’re not, paying for our gas we have to pay for that so we’re the ones that are controlling whether we want the order or not were subcontractors we don’t work for the company
Same here continue to decline the low dollar orders and take the good orders we can’t afford to drive for free. We are not a charity service. We are not meals on wheels. We’re out to make a profit… cherry pick only acceptance rate doesn’t mean anything. It’s all where you’re located at by the restaurants to get the ping.
With uber, you can also get tipped extra, which I seem to get about 5% of the time vs less than 1% tips removed...I think I have also learned better how to avoid those orders and just kinda know when the juice isn't going to be worth the squeeze
@@jasonmendoza2044All I've ever gotten is. "tips are not mandatory" even with the most recent one being a customer who'd pulled it on me twice in a row and I told support that.
Those who drive are teaching the companies and customers what they will have to pay us to accept these offers. If enough ppl stopped taking trash, it would have to change.
Well the fact that they keep going lower and lower means there are enough stupid drivers that DO accept them and are contributing to screwing us all over.
could be worse, I saw a clip where a Door Dash offer was paying $7.32..for a six thousand mile delivery! (It was a GPS goof within the app). Accept, and book a flight!
They probably arent. I did a popeyes today for 24 bucks for 6 miles.. not bad.. But it was allll base pay 1 dollar tip in there.. so it must have taking forever for the person to get the order to them.
We shouldn’t have to rely on tips. They need to raise the base pay. It’s ridiculous. Base pay doesn’t even cover the vehicle expenses when you figure in maintenance and depreciation.
I'm glad you are bringing up Uber. It's beyond unacceptable what they are doing. I can go hours and get no orders..actually I have forgotten I had the app on.
I totally understand that sometimes not one order will come in for like 45 minutes to an hour sometimes I restart my phone. Just turn it off way 30 seconds turn it back on it refreshes the network seems to help a little bit sometimes.
@@traviskitteh yes exactly I can go to McDonald’s and make more than I’m doing with Uber eats, hopefully it’ll get better soon. We just have to remember summertime is the off-season because the kids are out of school and a lot of the parents cook meals. That’s the reason it’s like this.
@budsodastories shop and pay is almost never worth it on a time to pay ratio scale. More than 90 percent, regardless of the platform. Grinding small bags of food is by far more logical.
@@ZachDrivesFast - Too many. It's suspicious as hell. Also while you are getting the ugliest offers possible, someone near you might be getting all the fantastic orders. Uber likes to shuffle our money around! I've been on the dirty end of that too often. On Easter, when it was pouring down rain I was out there. Strangely enough I did 15 runs, and No One tipped me after delivery. Usually on a regular day 35-40% will tip me after delivery. Then I had a dbl offer for $9 something, that included one of my regulars at the time. His offers are always between $11-12 alone! Now lets pour a lot of salt on my wounds...later that night my friend messaged me with screen shots of some of the killer offers he, and his boyfriend were getting in a 3 hr. period. Offers between $20-39! I told him I didn't see ANY of those, then sent him a screen shot of 3 runs I took in the same period.
this door dash and uber order quality both have went down. the biggest problem is the people who worrie about acceptance rate and continue taking charity orders
It’s not people worrying, it’s immigrants and crackheads who’ll do anything to survive. Like it’s completely understandable too, there’s not enough opportunities in this economy for someone who’s broke as hell to make money.?
People need to realize the bigger picture here. Yes the gig apps are squeezing every penny they can to turn a profit, but the real reason gig apps are drying up is people are sick of being gouged for delivery and increased restaurant prices. The days of covid delivery is over, and now people are just going out to eat or picking up their own orders.
I doubt it it's just to many drivers is all. People need to realize the days of actual tipping and expecting these companies to do anything for the drivers is over when sre drivers gonna wake up and recognize and just accept the law stepping in is the only way.
Personally I think people are nuts to order delivery, unless they can't go out for some reason. The cost is way too high. I've never ordered any of the gig app deliveries.
No, the biggest issue for drivers is the fact the people are aware they are paying basically double for the food. A $16 Taco Bell order you can pickup yourself is $30+ through UberEats. How can we expect a huge tip when the people are already paying too much to begin with?
It means "possible" opportunities for us in the long run - but if they are being rewarded with "profits" for cutting pay....unless enough drivers refuse these crap offers there is no reason for them to change.
Yep, you’re completely right. This is happening in RS too. When you start lowering the pay you get drivers that will eat/fuck with customer food or customer will never get their food at all.
All the driver should communicate and all of us dont go online for 24 hours . And go on strike. They will loose 100s of millions of dollars for that 24 hours. Trust me they will regret treating us drivers so poorly
I meet people all the time that tell they pick up 2 to .3 dollar orders and say that it keeps em busy and they still make a lot of money. I have a hard time believing that.
Yep: My vehicle gets 20 MPG. A 10 mile trip means 20 round trip which equals 1 gallon of gas used. That's got to pay me at least $15 minimum during slow periods. Should be more like $20 when the gas. insurance, wear and tear, maintenance, taxes etc. are factored in!@@ilovemoviesyes
I pick $2 orders all the time. And I averaged $28 an hour last week for 50 hours. Hard to believe? I don't doubt that! It's true anyways, just not how you are thinking. I own my own 1 person delivery business. I work only in a 4 square mile area of my city. I offer $5 flat rate delivery from any restaurant in my zone to any address in my zone. I drive the $2 app deliveries in order to find new customers. It's less than free advertising... it pays me. And the customer reality of using an app service in that the $2 order actually cost the customer $7. And I'll do it for $5 off app. As for vehicle costs, I ride a $3k scooter that gets 100+ mpg. All of my trips are under 4 miles, most under 2 miles. Because I have so many "cheap" customers, I'm usually stacking 2-4 orders at a time. Which puts me at $3.50 a mile on a scooter that costs 5 pennies a mile to operate. I call it delivery alchemy... the process of turning $2 orders into gold.
I’m in Las Vegas 6 months ago I would average $450-$600 a week part time. This week I made $126 same hours same cherry picking method. That’s how much the base pay has decreased.
I noticed an uptick in bad Uber eats orders when DoorDash started prompting people to tip when they tip zero. I think a lot of them migrated over to Uber Eats.
I see those shit offers here in Atlanta as well. I just don't take them. My AR generally stays at between 3-7% during the week, but on weekends will usually hit the low teens. My criteria is as follows: • $7 minimum for single offer, no more than 4 miles and maximum of 15 minute completion time; • $5 minimum for add-on offer, no more than additional 1.5 miles and 10 minutes; • $12 minimum for a double offer, no more than 8 miles with 30 minute completion; • For offers with longer mileage or time (10-15miles/30+ minutes), must be $1+/mile AND $30/hour minimum. By sticking firmly within these parameters, I average about $220/day on a weekday and $270/day on weekends.
2018 - $0.82 per mile 2019 - $1.00 per mile 2020 - $1.30 per mile 2021 - $1.34 per mile 2022 - $0.77 per mile 2023 - $0.64 per mile 2024 - $0.64 per mile *Gross Pay before any costs*
(Uber Eats)I drove 6 miles past a subway to pickup a subway order, then back by the same subway, another, and then dropped of 3 blocks from a 3rd subway... WTF?!?! (At least the tip covered the delivery) The girl at the pot shop who got the order was as confused as me.
Another thing I’ve noticed is when I contact CS to cancel an order due to a driver already picked up food. When they cancel it, it hits my cancellation rate! I’ve reported this but no change yet!
I had a $39 order for 44 miles last weekend it said it would take an hour and 5 minutes. I took the Taco Bell order because I am new to the area and wanted to go there anyway. I figured I might get a decent add on tip. Nope. $3.00 tip. In addition, it was actually 80 miles, because there wasn’t a chance to get a return fare.
Zach, in 2018 when I started Ubereats we had a $3.75 minimum no matter what. And that was in 2018 dollars which has since then taken a big inflationary hit. Anything I accepted back then always ended up paying at least a dollar a mile total pay. This was before we saw upfront details so basically we had to accept anything then. Also the customer had to come outside and get the order curbside. No leave at door back then.
@@ZachDrivesFast Doordash had a $5.50 minimum when I first started with them. GrubHub had an $8 minimum for a short time until prop 22 took affect here. I averaged $15 per delivery on GrubHub during 2020. Now it's trash. I miss the good old days especially when people were tipping much better during covid.
If you want the true picture of just how unconsciously greedy these gig-app companies are, you need to get all the information about some of these orders. (1) Total amount paid by the end customer. A complete break down of all the fees & charges. Including if the menu prices were marked up. (2) Total amount of fees paid by the restaurant. How much did the restaurant actually net from the order after all fees? (3) Amount paid to driver, in the context of the time & miles. In summary, of all the money paid by the end customer (excluding tip): - How much went to the gig-company? - How much went to the restaurant? - How much went to the driver?
Your videos are way better than the paid to drive guy videos! You actually answer questions. All he does is read what other people are complaining about and then ask the viewers what we think about it he does not provide Insight like you do. Thank you very much!
I have been delivering exclusively for Uber Eats for the last 3 years. This is the worst I have ever seen it. The distances they want you to drive for ridiculously small offers is actually very insulting IMO. I'm finding it very difficult to make a living any longer using Uber.
I’m pretty sure the reason we aren’t getting paid what we used to get paid is because of the monthly charge that the customers pay to get free deliveries. I believe Uber slashed our pay because a lot of the drivers who choose the monthly delivery fee don’t feel that they have an obligation to tip anymore because they know they will get their deliveries, no matter what worried if the driver is compensated fairly or not
The answer is yes the customers are paying less because they are paying a monthly fee in order to get free deliveries. When they do this, a lot of them, don’t give tips. They feel that Uber should pay us and not them because they already did when they choose the monthly fee.
This here!! Same goes with the "free credit card perk" of people having a capital one card getting the free subscription to Uber one. Once they started that is when my area went to a lot more crappy orders.
If you think 42 miles for $29 is bad try the flat rate idea for a day. They force you to take everything. My first order was 22 miles to deliver Walgreens. Zero tip and the customer lived 1.2 miles away from another Walgreens. Then I had a 43 mile trip trip that took an hour and 16 minutes to deliver a Sonic ice cream for $1 tip. Once I arrived I saw a Sonic in the rear view mirror from their house. It's the biggest scam alive. Ice cream was turned to milk even in the cold bag.
I know why they're giving you restaurants from so far away. We got Uber one for free because of the type of credit card we have and they constantly send me 40% off coupons that ends up making having food delivered be absolutely free compared to the cost in store. However only certain stores are eligible for this. For example I wanted to order some wings from Chili's which is a mile from my house but it wasn't eligible for the 40% off coupon only the one downtown was so people who are getting that coupon are ordering it from whatever restaurant it allow them to get the discount from
I stopped doing Uber eats and started doing Uber x sent me a ride from Boston to NYC 240 miles one way 10 hrs round trip plus tolls back out of my pocket for $125. 00 I canceled it it’s insane I quit
I just tried to place an order on UE from a place that's 14 miles from me. It still charged me a $2.49 delivery fee. Maybe that's why driver pay is so low.
For over 8 hours and 18 trips, I made a whole $93.00 with UberEats. With 18 trips and over 100 miles driven, I only had $26.00 worth of tips! That is averaging $1.44 an order with tips! It also had me jump on the expressway and go all the way to Chicago from the south suburbs (30 minute drive, and drove 15 minutes to get the order). The fact customers can adjust the tip should not be allowed, no "pledging" tips.
There are government programs that set immigrants and refugees up with vehicles for gig works. Some still don’t qualify for driving passengers, but they can do delivery. The gig apps are simply taking advantage of the situation and significantly reduced pay.
I’m done with all these garbage apps. Last straw was an Instacart order on 5/5/24. I delivered the delivery only order and didn’t remember to rescan the bags before I handed them to the customer. I’m not going back to their door after I already left. Support was useless. My tip went into never never land and so did my driving career.
I was booted off after a woman was being indecisive about food item after food item. Asking me my thoughts, or which one I wanted. I told her lady, I don't get paid enough to make these decisions for you. Would you like me to cancel? I can't be bothered to give a shit if I'm making 3$/hr after its all said and done.
One of the drivers I talk to showed me a screenshot of an Uber eats for 60 miles for $12. Lol. It was from a Walgreens. The only thing I could think of was it was a special prescription that only that Walgreens had because I guarantee you would drive past at least 50 other Walgreens. Hope that person didn't die because I can't see ANYONE doing that one
@@ZachDrivesFast exactly it’s not fair for anybody and nobody’s gonna take an order like that we have to pay for our own gas, so we have to be very careful and take the good orders. Eventually the orders come in better like eight dollars for 4 miles sometimes seven dollars for 3 miles, hopefully we get more of those soon. I spend a lot of money on gas every week. Oh my God you should see my bill.
My market is Palo Alto CA, near Stanford. Up until recently for both DD AND UE I saw really good orders all day. Then about a year ago DD was almost entirely 2$ orders. And within the last few months, I’ve noticed UE trending in the same direction. I have a busy and wealthy little market. But I’m not going 35 miles one way for $25, or even 5 miles for 5 in this market. Not when it used to be fast quick runs in town for $10-$15 a pop. It’s really Frustrating.
My pet theory is all apps are promoting longer distance to increase fees. No extra fees for drivers, just profit for the app and it’s under paid employees.
Uber has so much data they could inform the customer: A) The location isn't the closest to you (Uber can very likely show you a farther location because they have deals on food or delivery, which may be the source of many of these extremely backwards orders under $0.50 per mile) B) Let the customer know that based on their tip combined with other factors like traffic, weather, distance then what is their likelyhood of actually getting it delivered C) Then tell them it is likely their order will be batched and driver will not be accountable for cold food/warm drinks D) Tell Serial baiters that Uber will hide their tip amount but pay it immediately upon delivery E) I have spoken
I kid you not, Anytime I show up to grab a high paying Uber eats offer, it has already been picked up and I'm the fifth driver to be in to get it. I suppose I'm the only one that calls support so I can get a few measly bucks for going out of my way thinking I finally had a good paying offer.
Yes, this is why I came here. Back in October I started delivering and the orders were reasonable, then in December everything changed. Now it’s mostly broke people ordering fast food to their run down apartment. It’s crazy, broke people ruined this industry. Broke people and desperate people who can’t find any other form of work because they have zero skill sets. So they accept the 3 to 4 dollar orders. Thus ruining the entire gig.
Yesterday I went to pick up a pharmacy order, just to find out it was already picked up and the pharmacist told me five other drivers came to pick it up as well. It was for $24 13 miles 9 miles to the pharmacy. I called support and they compensated me $3 🤷🤦😎👎
I have been driving for Uber Eats since Sept 2023. I started Ubering around Thanksgiving 2023. Offers for UE used to be about $10, but now they are under $5. I agree.with you that Uber is taking more from us the increases profits. I am in Anchorage Alaska and the city is about 10 miles from one end to the other not including Eagle River which is in our municipality. We can deliver in Wasilla/Palmer but that is about an hour away..
it is baffling to me who is taking these orders? Not enough to pay for gas, let alone repairs. I am now at the point of quitting uber eats. Not worth doing any more. Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Who is taking the orders? I've gone to watch who picks up the orders, many times. All I can say is complete idiots. Driving big vehicles, lexus, full size cross overs, mini vans. I can't believe it. They can't even pay their gas. Why do they take these orders? I've seen all races doing this.
Absolutely gone down hill, I just got an order sitting in front of an Oliveto, asking me to go 15 miles to another city's Oliveto, to then bring it back to 3 miles away from where I was sitting, 32 miles total, for $7 and change. Many others, $4 to go 35 miles, $2 to go 8 miles, and on and on. There should be a lawsuit going, it's that absurd. This would be billions of dollars if some greedy lawyers would get on board with this.
Definitely! It's terrible now. Here in California though we do get a slight pay bump on stuff like this but I still wouldn't take anything like those. I only work for good tips. Not pathetic base pay or prop 22 adjustments
I use uber only between 1) 10pm and 4am. order numbers are low. but I tend to get better paying orders when I accept. last night I even took a taco bell 8 miles for 22 dollars. that had zero tip after. but it was 22 dollars. 2) 5am to 8am. the rest doordash did once drive a 22 mile taco bell order for 33. to a customer who was 3 miles from a taco bell. the one I picked up from was in a different small town from the customer. did get a 15 going 7 after drop off.
This is what I do also. Tons of boosted orders overnight in Baltimore. I've done $35+ that were $1 tip and plenty of $20-$24 no tip orders for 5-6 miles.
If refuse to accept order because mile too high and pay too low then should not get penalized and acceptance rate should not be reduced because of declining the order .
Yea, I remember when my dad did it in 2019 he was able to make over $100 everyday. Then they had up to 1.9x boosts and you could make a little extra..Now you're lucky if you can make half of that
I have been pondering the far low rate uberEats orders that I get. I believe its because either noone is in that area to accept it at the time or request. or (and most often) its the low rate/no tip reequests that uberEat deliverers do not accept. If a request isnt accepted I imagine it goes to trip radar, and offered to the next closest deliverer, and keep going out further until someone gets the customer their food. and depending on where they order from, the request goes to the restaurant closest to the deliverer that accepts it. the establishment doesn't usually make the orders until a delivery is accepted. A lot of times, i imagine, if you go to a place that already has it made, someone accepted it and then canceled.. of course I can't confirm that.
I JUST (I mean within the hour of typing this) I had a $8 McDonald’s order, 20 mins across the freeway when I know there was a McDonald’s in his area. Within two miles. And the asshat didn’t even tip.
20$ a hour is too low. I know some drivers may struggle to make that if new or in very rough markets but having struggled before and gotten through, then seeing pay cuts, its just not worth it once you factor in the risk, maintenance, fuel costs. 22.50 to 25$ may not sound like much more but it makes a massive difference when you are ideally setting chunk of your pay aside.
Some days I'm lucky if I make $5 an hr. on Friday, and Saturday. I'll be sitting there w/zero offers for about 58 mins out of an hour. In the other 2 minutes two really bad offers $2-3 will show up, and then one for $4-6. I don't know how that can be during a busy dinner rush.
@@dmreddragon6the over saturation is real. Every one you told about how good it used to be is doing it on the weekends along with their good paying job and all the full timers are losing their asses it's almost impossible to do full time
Its mileage, time, cost of gas, and using your own car. Its most importantly RISK! Why risk getting killed for a $7 delivery? Why risk getting stabbed for a $3 delivery? All deliveries need to pay $1 per mile and have a guaranteed $3 tip.
My acceptance rate went from 32% to 17% this week mainly due to orders like this. The majority of then are shop and pay at Costco. I hate that store! It is so hard to shop there and get it done quickly. Parking and checkout is a nightmare. Tonight I declined one that was only 5 items, $35 pay..... sounded good until I saw it was 28.6 miles! Almost every order I received this week was less pay than miles driven. The worst was $4.07 for 25 miles! Who takes these orders? You must be an idiot or just not know that you can decline offers. Oh, and Doordash is just as bad. I usually can't even get scheduled to dash and never see the dash now option in my area.
It's not just the milage there it's the milage round trip when you have to drive back with no orders in between!! These people carrying around 4 phones are hogging all the damn orders!!
The base pay should automatically include a minimum hourly rate based on estimated time, combined with mileage expenses from the restaurant to the customer.
I used to get 4 or 5 acceptable offers a night. The past 2 nights I got one. For last night I had to be online until 2:30am before one came in was over a dollar a mile.
I had just dropped my kid at a summer activity, argued with her, and was feeling flustered. My phone pings. I'm in traffic, and I accepted an order without searching it out. 17.09 for 23 miles. I had to drive back home so 46 miles. I just put gas in my car. I came home to eat and rest cause I was annoyed. I can't believe this is for real. 😢
I have this Chic-Fil-A in one of my zones that is staffed by drugged up zombies and the average wait time is around 15 minutes, and the orders are ALWAYS no-tipping losers. So, what I've started doing, if it's THAT chicfila, AND the customer is a notipper, I'll arive, push the arrival button, then wait 5mins in the parking lot. Then I'll text the customer something like "hey its your DD driver, they say your food gonna take a few mins". Then I'll wait another 10mins in the parking lot, then text them "Sorry, food still not ready and it's been 15mins, I gotta unassign, gl tho" 🤣
Twice I got a 5$ order that was 26-27 miles total. I also get those shitty 2 & 3$ orders aswell and I just decline them. Uber is definitely being greedy with the pay.
I tried using bicycle to accept orders. I didn't even get a single request because the algorithm is forcing orders onto people with cars. So much for making any money what so ever. 0 requests later, still broke af.
I think customers should be limited to ordering from restaurants that are within a 10-mile radius of where they are located.
I say 5 mile radius (unless they want to pay a special fee for each additional mile and that all comes to the driver).
10 is still too much because there's a very high likelihood we have to deadhead back to our spot. I rarely go more than 5 miles unless it's a $20 involved in there. I also live in a very high cost of living area and there's plenty of upper class neighborhoods all around me. They need to stop being so cheap.
@@kev7161 I agree with this. A 10-mile order could take upwards of an hour, depending on traffic and possible road closures due to roadwork.
Or add a surcharge for more than that (passed straight to drivers)

Uber likes to shuffle our money around! I've been on the dirty end of that too often. On Easter, when it was pouring down rain I was out there. Strangely enough I did 15 runs, and No One tipped me after delivery. Usually on a regular day 35-40% will tip me after delivery. Then I had a dbl offer for $9 something, that included one of my regulars at the time. His offers are always between $11-12 alone! Now lets pour a lot of salt on my wounds...later that night my friend messaged me with screen shots of some of the killer offers he, and his boyfriend were getting in a 3 hr. period. Offers between $20-39!
I told him I didn't see ANY of those, then sent him a screen shot of 3 runs I took in the same period.
this door dash and uber order quality both have went down. the biggest problem is the people who worrie about acceptance rate and continue taking charity orders
Also the one's that take that crap because it gets them views, and likes on YT!

It’s not people worrying, it’s immigrants and crackheads who’ll do anything to survive.
Like it’s completely understandable too, there’s not enough opportunities in this economy for someone who’s broke as hell to make money.?
They need the money to pay off the lawsuits where they've been sued over and over
if they wouldn't steal our tips they probably wouldn't be sued!
I want join that lawsuit
I have several screen shots of 5$ orders going 20+ miles … insane
That is insane... It shouldn't be allowed.
Same, I came to this video because I’m honestly like wtf!!!
People need to realize the bigger picture here. Yes the gig apps are squeezing every penny they can to turn a profit, but the real reason gig apps are drying up is people are sick of being gouged for delivery and increased restaurant prices. The days of covid delivery is over, and now people are just going out to eat or picking up their own orders.
I doubt it it's just to many drivers is all. People need to realize the days of actual tipping and expecting these companies to do anything for the drivers is over when sre drivers gonna wake up and recognize and just accept the law stepping in is the only way.
But if you make 40 an hour its more productive to order food.
Personally I think people are nuts to order delivery, unless they can't go out for some reason. The cost is way too high. I've never ordered any of the gig app deliveries.
@@adotintheshark4848 I only cook at home or get cheap deals. I dont think ive ordered delivery in my life? Im 51
No, the biggest issue for drivers is the fact the people are aware they are paying basically double for the food. A $16 Taco Bell order you can pickup yourself is $30+ through UberEats. How can we expect a huge tip when the people are already paying too much to begin with?
It means "possible" opportunities for us in the long run - but if they are being rewarded with "profits" for cutting pay....unless enough drivers refuse these crap offers there is no reason for them to change.
I quit gig apps because of how low pay has gotten.
The pay is getting worse idk if because ppl are now getting out more picking up their own food saving money. This summer gonna get worse.
I quit too. Smart.
Anyone taking a 42-mile delivery for $29.00, especially with the option to tip bait on Uber Eats, most likely has their pilot light blown out. 😂
These would also stop if people stopped taking them, so our peers are causing the issue by taking them
this video is so validating , i literally called all of the delivery apps reporting that the low pay high miles is so crazy
Yep, you’re completely right. This is happening in RS too. When you start lowering the pay you get drivers that will eat/fuck with customer food or customer will never get their food at all.
All the driver should communicate and all of us dont go online for 24 hours . And go on strike. They will loose 100s of millions of dollars for that 24 hours. Trust me they will regret treating us drivers so poorly
That is great idea.
Strike needs to be more like a couple weeks for it to hurt
That’s a really good idea
I meet people all the time that tell they pick up 2 to .3 dollar orders and say that it keeps em busy and they still make a lot of money. I have a hard time believing that.
Sorry they not calculating expenses. They are counting on desperate people who want flexibility and can’t do math. 😢😢😢
Not everyone is good at math. They can't be looking at a) gas cost, b) that they're only making $5-6 an hour...
Yep: My vehicle gets 20 MPG. A 10 mile trip means 20 round trip which equals 1 gallon of gas used. That's got to pay me at least $15 minimum during slow periods. Should be more like $20 when the gas. insurance, wear and tear, maintenance, taxes etc. are factored in!@@ilovemoviesyes
Imagine staring your car engine 30 times a day for $3 offers...Lol
I pick $2 orders all the time. And I averaged $28 an hour last week for 50 hours.
Hard to believe? I don't doubt that! It's true anyways, just not how you are thinking. I own my own 1 person delivery business. I work only in a 4 square mile area of my city. I offer $5 flat rate delivery from any restaurant in my zone to any address in my zone.
I drive the $2 app deliveries in order to find new customers. It's less than free advertising... it pays me. And the customer reality of using an app service in that the $2 order actually cost the customer $7. And I'll do it for $5 off app.
As for vehicle costs, I ride a $3k scooter that gets 100+ mpg. All of my trips are under 4 miles, most under 2 miles. Because I have so many "cheap" customers, I'm usually stacking 2-4 orders at a time. Which puts me at $3.50 a mile on a scooter that costs 5 pennies a mile to operate.
I call it delivery alchemy... the process of turning $2 orders into gold.
I’m in Las Vegas 6 months ago I would average $450-$600 a week part time. This week I made $126 same hours same cherry picking method. That’s how much the base pay has decreased.
Army paydays in killeen texas are a gold mine
I'm a firm believer that long and very long distance orders are garbage 🗑️ and I don't think that's going to change!
I noticed an uptick in bad Uber eats orders when DoorDash started prompting people to tip when they tip zero. I think a lot of them migrated over to Uber Eats.
I see those shit offers here in Atlanta as well. I just don't take them. My AR generally stays at between 3-7% during the week, but on weekends will usually hit the low teens. My criteria is as follows:
• $7 minimum for single offer, no more than 4 miles and maximum of 15 minute completion time;
• $5 minimum for add-on offer, no more than additional 1.5 miles and 10 minutes;
• $12 minimum for a double offer, no more than 8 miles with 30 minute completion;
• For offers with longer mileage or time (10-15miles/30+ minutes), must be $1+/mile AND $30/hour minimum.
By sticking firmly within these parameters, I average about $220/day on a weekday and $270/day on weekends.
2018 - $0.82 per mile
2019 - $1.00 per mile
2020 - $1.30 per mile
2021 - $1.34 per mile
2022 - $0.77 per mile
2023 - $0.64 per mile
2024 - $0.64 per mile
*Gross Pay before any costs*
(Uber Eats)I drove 6 miles past a subway to pickup a subway order, then back by the same subway, another, and then dropped of 3 blocks from a 3rd subway... WTF?!?! (At least the tip covered the delivery) The girl at the pot shop who got the order was as confused as me.
Ya, happens way to often! WTH? UE should at least notify the customer of an additional charge due to mileage(and then pay us)!
I used to make 2/300 a day spending about 30-40 a day on gas. Now I can work 10 hours, make about 70 bucks after gas. Make it make sense. 🤦
You can work more hours.
What doesn’t make sense is you still doing ubereats or DoorDash 😂
you're doing better than me. I'm only doing $40 a day, couple hours . If I worked longer I'd get nothing but crap orders,
Same!!!! It’s why I quit! That’s $7 an hour- this is now charity!
Stop taking low pay orders
Another thing I’ve noticed is when I contact CS to cancel an order due to a driver already picked up food. When they cancel it, it hits my cancellation rate! I’ve reported this but no change yet!
To make money on DD and UE I now have to work the graveyard shift because of the oversaturation of drivers.
I had a $39 order for 44 miles last weekend it said it would take an hour and 5 minutes. I took the Taco Bell order because I am new to the area and wanted to go there anyway. I figured I might get a decent add on tip. Nope. $3.00 tip. In addition, it was actually 80 miles, because there wasn’t a chance to get a return fare.
Zach, in 2018 when I started Ubereats we had a $3.75 minimum no matter what. And that was in 2018 dollars which has since then taken a big inflationary hit. Anything I accepted back then always ended up paying at least a dollar a mile total pay. This was before we saw upfront details so basically we had to accept anything then. Also the customer had to come outside and get the order curbside. No leave at door back then.
Hey Larry. That must have been nice to get at least $1.00 per mile. I started doing UE when you couldn't see upfront tips. That part sucked for sure.
@@ZachDrivesFast Doordash had a $5.50 minimum when I first started with them. GrubHub had an $8 minimum for a short time until prop 22 took affect here. I averaged $15 per delivery on GrubHub during 2020. Now it's trash. I miss the good old days especially when people were tipping much better during covid.
Yup , you don’t mention about less tips in 2018.
In the last three hours I have seen deliveries for $2.03 going 2 miles, $7.62 going 14 miles, and $12.08 going 23 miles.
If you want the true picture of just how unconsciously greedy these gig-app companies are, you need to get all the information about some of these orders.
(1) Total amount paid by the end customer. A complete break down of all the fees & charges. Including if the menu prices were marked up.
(2) Total amount of fees paid by the restaurant. How much did the restaurant actually net from the order after all fees?
(3) Amount paid to driver, in the context of the time & miles.
In summary, of all the money paid by the end customer (excluding tip):
- How much went to the gig-company?
- How much went to the restaurant?
- How much went to the driver?
Your videos are way better than the paid to drive guy videos! You actually answer questions. All he does is read what other people are complaining about and then ask the viewers what we think about it he does not provide Insight like you do. Thank you very much!
That guy sucks, he's just taking up space and sucking up views
I have been delivering exclusively for Uber Eats for the last 3 years. This is the worst I have ever seen it. The distances they want you to drive for ridiculously small offers is actually very insulting IMO. I'm finding it very difficult to make a living any longer using Uber.
I’m pretty sure the reason we aren’t getting paid what we used to get paid is because of the monthly charge that the customers pay to get free deliveries. I believe Uber slashed our pay because a lot of the drivers who choose the monthly delivery fee don’t feel that they have an obligation to tip anymore because they know they will get their deliveries, no matter what worried if the driver is compensated fairly or not
The answer is yes the customers are paying less because they are paying a monthly fee in order to get free deliveries. When they do this, a lot of them, don’t give tips. They feel that Uber should pay us and not them because they already did when they choose the monthly fee.
This here!! Same goes with the "free credit card perk" of people having a capital one card getting the free subscription to Uber one. Once they started that is when my area went to a lot more crappy orders.
If you think 42 miles for $29 is bad try the flat rate idea for a day. They force you to take everything. My first order was 22 miles to deliver Walgreens. Zero tip and the customer lived 1.2 miles away from another Walgreens. Then I had a 43 mile trip trip that took an hour and 16 minutes to deliver a Sonic ice cream for $1 tip. Once I arrived I saw a Sonic in the rear view mirror from their house. It's the biggest scam alive. Ice cream was turned to milk even in the cold bag.
I know why they're giving you restaurants from so far away. We got Uber one for free because of the type of credit card we have and they constantly send me 40% off coupons that ends up making having food delivered be absolutely free compared to the cost in store. However only certain stores are eligible for this. For example I wanted to order some wings from Chili's which is a mile from my house but it wasn't eligible for the 40% off coupon only the one downtown was so people who are getting that coupon are ordering it from whatever restaurant it allow them to get the discount from
Right make it make sense Ober is counting themselves $ too this way
Thanks for sharing !
I stopped doing Uber eats and started doing Uber x sent me a ride from Boston to NYC 240 miles one way 10 hrs round trip plus tolls back out of my pocket for $125. 00 I canceled it it’s insane I quit
I just landed my first tech support job. Start on Monday. Can’t wait. Full employer paid health insurance and good pay. M-F no weekends. 730-430pm.
Where at?
@@truedepth3 Portland Oregon
Congrats Robert ! Hope you do well.
I just tried to place an order on UE from a place that's 14 miles from me. It still charged me a $2.49 delivery fee. Maybe that's why driver pay is so low.
Geez! It's not like we're going to get $10 from that $2.49 they were charged.
For over 8 hours and 18 trips, I made a whole $93.00 with UberEats. With 18 trips and over 100 miles driven, I only had $26.00 worth of tips! That is averaging $1.44 an order with tips! It also had me jump on the expressway and go all the way to Chicago from the south suburbs (30 minute drive, and drove 15 minutes to get the order). The fact customers can adjust the tip should not be allowed, no "pledging" tips.
I made 93 dollars in 4 hours in killeen texas
There are government programs that set immigrants and refugees up with vehicles for gig works. Some still don’t qualify for driving passengers, but they can do delivery. The gig apps are simply taking advantage of the situation and significantly reduced pay.
I’m done with all these garbage apps. Last straw was an Instacart order on 5/5/24. I delivered the delivery only order and didn’t remember to rescan the bags before I handed them to the customer. I’m not going back to their door after I already left. Support was useless. My tip went into never never land and so did my driving career.
I was booted off after a woman was being indecisive about food item after food item. Asking me my thoughts, or which one I wanted. I told her lady, I don't get paid enough to make these decisions for you. Would you like me to cancel?
I can't be bothered to give a shit if I'm making 3$/hr after its all said and done.
One of the drivers I talk to showed me a screenshot of an Uber eats for 60 miles for $12. Lol. It was from a Walgreens. The only thing I could think of was it was a special prescription that only that Walgreens had because I guarantee you would drive past at least 50 other Walgreens. Hope that person didn't die because I can't see ANYONE doing that one
Jeez! Even if it's a prescription, it's not fair to expect anyone to drive 60 miles for that.
@@ZachDrivesFast exactly it’s not fair for anybody and nobody’s gonna take an order like that we have to pay for our own gas, so we have to be very careful and take the good orders. Eventually the orders come in better like eight dollars for 4 miles sometimes seven dollars for 3 miles, hopefully we get more of those soon. I spend a lot of money on gas every week. Oh my God you should see my bill.
Well someone in this scenario is having a bloody heart attack.
Last night I ended my Ubereats shift. It was 4 hrs. I accepted 4 orders out of 232 offers. Does that answer your question?
At least you're getting offers..in my region they are playing a new game to where they don't send you any offers until you are actually driving
Yes they had the nerve to send me a $1.99 the other day 😂
My market is Palo Alto CA, near Stanford. Up until recently for both DD AND UE I saw really good orders all day. Then about a year ago DD was almost entirely 2$ orders. And within the last few months, I’ve noticed UE trending in the same direction.
I have a busy and wealthy little market. But I’m not going 35 miles one way for $25, or even 5 miles for 5 in this market. Not when it used to be fast quick runs in town for $10-$15 a pop.
It’s really Frustrating.
Las Vegas market is horrible … they are stacking orders abd you don’t kkkw till you pick up the first .. also the pay rates are horrific
It's wild some people accept these orders
They're legit Neanderthals who think they will get fired if they hit decline
Uber Eats now offers $13 an hour in Orlando. After that about 2 weeks ago. Now all the trips are horrible. It's not worth it anymore. So sad 😢
My pet theory is all apps are promoting longer distance to increase fees. No extra fees for drivers, just profit for the app and it’s under paid employees.
Yup.
Uber has so much data they could inform the customer:
A) The location isn't the closest to you (Uber can very likely show you a farther location because they have deals on food or delivery, which may be the source of many of these extremely backwards orders under $0.50 per mile)
B) Let the customer know that based on their tip combined with other factors like traffic, weather, distance then what is their likelyhood of actually getting it delivered
C) Then tell them it is likely their order will be batched and driver will not be accountable for cold food/warm drinks
D) Tell Serial baiters that Uber will hide their tip amount but pay it immediately upon delivery
E) I have spoken
Where are you?! Sounding like a CEO to me. We need you in that high seat my friend!
I kid you not, Anytime I show up to grab a high paying Uber eats offer, it has already been picked up and I'm the fifth driver to be in to get it. I suppose I'm the only one that calls support so I can get a few measly bucks for going out of my way thinking I finally had a good paying offer.
It's the same here in Charlotte North Carolina. Very bad.
Same here in Ft. Liberty/Fayetteville, NC it's terrible
Same in Raleigh, NC
Yes, this is why I came here. Back in October I started delivering and the orders were reasonable, then in December everything changed.
Now it’s mostly broke people ordering fast food to their run down apartment.
It’s crazy, broke people ruined this industry.
Broke people and desperate people who can’t find any other form of work because they have zero skill sets. So they accept the 3 to 4 dollar orders.
Thus ruining the entire gig.
Yesterday I went to pick up a pharmacy order, just to find out it was already picked up and the pharmacist told me five other drivers came to pick it up as well. It was for $24 13 miles 9 miles to the pharmacy. I called support and they compensated me $3 🤷🤦😎👎
The highest paying order I've seen in months
That's super sketchy... Sounds like a driver stole someone's medication. Uber needs to get a handle on that. Glad you got something out of it though.
I had a similar very bad experience and got the same $3 slap in my face lol would elaborate but it’s late and I’m tired lol
This happens to me all the time.
I just got a request for $7.35 for a 22 Miles!! WTF??
That’s insane! Shouldn’t be allowed
Drivers accepting these horrible paying orders is the biggest reason why we keep getting them.
I have been driving for Uber Eats since Sept 2023. I started Ubering around Thanksgiving 2023. Offers for UE used to be about $10, but now they are under $5. I agree.with you that Uber is taking more from us the increases profits. I am in Anchorage Alaska and the city is about 10 miles from one end to the other not including Eagle River which is in our municipality. We can deliver in Wasilla/Palmer but that is about an hour away..
it is baffling to me who is taking these orders? Not enough to pay for gas, let alone repairs. I am now at the point of quitting uber eats. Not worth doing any more. Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Who is taking the orders? I've gone to watch who picks up the orders, many times. All I can say is complete idiots. Driving big vehicles, lexus, full size cross overs, mini vans. I can't believe it. They can't even pay their gas. Why do they take these orders? I've seen all races doing this.
Absolutely gone down hill, I just got an order sitting in front of an Oliveto, asking me to go 15 miles to another city's Oliveto, to then bring it back to 3 miles away from where I was sitting, 32 miles total, for $7 and change. Many others, $4 to go 35 miles, $2 to go 8 miles, and on and on. There should be a lawsuit going, it's that absurd. This would be billions of dollars if some greedy lawyers would get on board with this.
Definitely! It's terrible now. Here in California though we do get a slight pay bump on stuff like this but I still wouldn't take anything like those. I only work for good tips. Not pathetic base pay or prop 22 adjustments
Hey Larry! Can't say as I blame you. No one should ever take an upside down or low paying order.
I use uber only between 1) 10pm and 4am. order numbers are low. but I tend to get better paying orders when I accept. last night I even took a taco bell 8 miles for 22 dollars. that had zero tip after. but it was 22 dollars. 2) 5am to 8am. the rest doordash
did once drive a 22 mile taco bell order for 33. to a customer who was 3 miles from a taco bell. the one I picked up from was in a different small town from the customer. did get a 15 going 7 after drop off.
I wonder how much that taco bell had to bounce around before it got to $22.
Crazy that it was all base pay though.
@@ZachDrivesFast yep very
This is what I do also. Tons of boosted orders overnight in Baltimore. I've done $35+ that were $1 tip and plenty of $20-$24 no tip orders for 5-6 miles.
I have to decline nine out of 10 orders because they’re so bad in the Phoenix market
The worst order yet I've received in my market was $7 and change going 42 miles
Just crazy
They just don’t care about you anymore . It’s simple greed for them .
Food delivery is gone down the toilet. The AR nonsense with DD now punishing drivers by not allowing them to schedule shifts is insane.
I wouldn't know if the money for offers went down. I don't ever see any orders anymore, oversaturated market
If refuse to accept order because mile too high and pay too low then should not get penalized and acceptance rate should not be reduced because of declining the order .
I just started south of DC. I get a million orders, but 90% are complete trash, 8% are trash and maybe 1-2% are decent
Everytime I turn on Uber Eats
Almost all the orders from my area are like those reverse order 🙄
The worst that I come across is 72 items, 93 units, grocery shopping for $15.
Hell no😂😂😂
Karma for these ceos stealing money
There’s no orders on Fourth of July at all wtf
I have seen similar grabs from the driver. And no shortage of driver supply
They need to add automatic minimum per mile trip charges, otherwise there will be no delivery people taking the orders.
It was amazing back in the day, but now I'm planning my exit strategy back into the real job wold.
Yea, I remember when my dad did it in 2019 he was able to make over $100 everyday. Then they had up to 1.9x boosts and you could make a little extra..Now you're lucky if you can make half of that
So true why not use the closest restaurant?
I have been pondering the far low rate uberEats orders that I get. I believe its because either noone is in that area to accept it at the time or request. or (and most often) its the low rate/no tip reequests that uberEat deliverers do not accept. If a request isnt accepted I imagine it goes to trip radar, and offered to the next closest deliverer, and keep going out further until someone gets the customer their food. and depending on where they order from, the request goes to the restaurant closest to the deliverer that accepts it. the establishment doesn't usually make the orders until a delivery is accepted. A lot of times, i imagine, if you go to a place that already has it made, someone accepted it and then canceled.. of course I can't confirm that.
you can unassign without affecting the completion rate just pay attention to the option you are choosing
I JUST (I mean within the hour of typing this) I had a $8 McDonald’s order, 20 mins across the freeway when I know there was a McDonald’s in his area. Within two miles. And the asshat didn’t even tip.
Classic McDonald’s customer
20$ a hour is too low. I know some drivers may struggle to make that if new or in very rough markets but having struggled before and gotten through, then seeing pay cuts, its just not worth it once you factor in the risk, maintenance, fuel costs. 22.50 to 25$ may not sound like much more but it makes a massive difference when you are ideally setting chunk of your pay aside.
Some days I'm lucky if I make $5 an hr. on Friday, and Saturday. I'll be sitting there w/zero offers for about 58 mins out of an hour. In the other 2 minutes two really bad offers $2-3 will show up, and then one for $4-6. I don't know how that can be during a busy dinner rush.
@@dmreddragon6the over saturation is real. Every one you told about how good it used to be is doing it on the weekends along with their good paying job and all the full timers are losing their asses it's almost impossible to do full time
Its mileage, time, cost of gas, and using your own car. Its most importantly RISK! Why risk getting killed for a $7 delivery? Why risk getting stabbed for a $3 delivery? All deliveries need to pay $1 per mile and have a guaranteed $3 tip.
My acceptance rate went from 32% to 17% this week mainly due to orders like this.
The majority of then are shop and pay at Costco. I hate that store! It is so hard to shop there and get it done quickly. Parking and checkout is a nightmare.
Tonight I declined one that was only 5 items, $35 pay..... sounded good until I saw it was 28.6 miles!
Almost every order I received this week was less pay than miles driven.
The worst was $4.07 for 25 miles! Who takes these orders? You must be an idiot or just not know that you can decline offers.
Oh, and Doordash is just as bad. I usually can't even get scheduled to dash and never see the dash now option in my area.
4 orders, late at night…$13.00 f*cking dollars total! Uninstalled the app…
$30 an hour minimum . Anything lower is clown pay
It's not just the milage there it's the milage round trip when you have to drive back with no orders in between!! These people carrying around 4 phones are hogging all the damn orders!!
I have to decline about 90% of the orders that come through in my area for the same reason.
Don't trust the incentive anymore.. i got ripped off today on that compensation pay..
If you’re accepting the $8 for 15 plus miles then YOU’RE part of the problem and not helping drivers out
Yup. If it pays it’s on the way. If it don’t pay it stays
The base pay should automatically include a minimum hourly rate based on estimated time, combined with mileage expenses from the restaurant to the customer.
I used to get 4 or 5 acceptable offers a night. The past 2 nights I got one. For last night I had to be online until 2:30am before one came in was over a dollar a mile.
I had just dropped my kid at a summer activity, argued with her, and was feeling flustered. My phone pings. I'm in traffic, and I accepted an order without searching it out. 17.09 for 23 miles. I had to drive back home so 46 miles. I just put gas in my car. I came home to eat and rest cause I was annoyed. I can't believe this is for real. 😢
I’m platinum DD and got a 2 dollar for 10 mile order😢…I shut off the app and called it a day lol
I have this Chic-Fil-A in one of my zones that is staffed by drugged up zombies and the average wait time is around 15 minutes, and the orders are ALWAYS no-tipping losers. So, what I've started doing, if it's THAT chicfila, AND the customer is a notipper, I'll arive, push the arrival button, then wait 5mins in the parking lot. Then I'll text the customer something like "hey its your DD driver, they say your food gonna take a few mins". Then I'll wait another 10mins in the parking lot, then text them "Sorry, food still not ready and it's been 15mins, I gotta unassign, gl tho" 🤣
Twice I got a 5$ order that was 26-27 miles total. I also get those shitty 2 & 3$ orders aswell and I just decline them. Uber is definitely being greedy with the pay.
I tried using bicycle to accept orders. I didn't even get a single request because the algorithm is forcing orders onto people with cars. So much for making any money what so ever. 0 requests later, still broke af.
