I been working for Lyft for 6 months. Honest God truth I have only had 2 rides where I got 4 stars, rest is 5s. I have given 1800 rides and I don't give away nothing for free. It's about how u talk to people and make them feel and be a great driver. Don't miss exits and don't scare them half to death lol
False
I'm calling bullsh!t on this. $4k+ per week in Dallas isn't happening. I drive 50-60 hours per week in Dallas per week, and don't reach half of that. Show me.
Blair Group Imagine blaming Mexicans b/c YOU chose to drive Uber. 😂
@Blair the white people in this city are pretty lame too tbh. The city just sucks overall.
@@allandulles7108 yes just like Houston pretty much every big city sucks in Texas…Austin is the best city in Texas hands down
@@demonhunter758 getting super gentrified, but you are still right.
He said in four weeks not in one week. I drive Uber in DFW and make 250 -300 a day
The Rideahare Guy is back to recruiting and cashing in on the referral payments.
They never talk about the odds of getting into an accident, which are astronomical when you drive 1000+ miles per week.
Yeah all these rideshare channels are all about the referral bonuses.
I say this is BS. No screenshot proof then it's not real
He'll learn soon enough how little he actually is making after expenses. The fact that Jay left out one of the most important aspects of the money earned, which is, how many hours he had to work to make that money, makes this video useless. Reality check: He's making far less then minimum wage, and on top of it his car is depreciating at a rate faster then the car is paid off . You should do a followup video with this guy after he has driven a full year and paid a full year of taxes to see how enthusiastic he is, and how many doors this guy is opening then. I guarantee the answer will be zero.
And no screenshot to back it up. This guy straight out lie to jay and jay believed him .
How many hours is he putting in to make this $1500 a week? How much money a week does he spend on gas, water and treats? Blah ...blah...blah. Any driver that has been doing this for any amount of time knows that in order to make $1500 a week you have absolutely no life but ride share and sleep. This is why every driver in the country is pissed off and looking for a REAL job with some kind of benefits.
And miles
I drive in the Dallas/ Ft Worth area as well. I have been driving for 3 and a half years. I used to keep water in my vehicle but it didn't seem make a difference. I usually don't open doors unless the rider is elderly or has a disability. Perhaps I should open more doors. I would like to add one more tip. Keep your vehicle clean. People really appreciate a clean car.
The weekends are obviously the best time. About 4pm till 4am on Friday and Saturday nights are the best times for me. Uptown and Deep Ellum are best places to get good rides. You have to deal with a lot of traffic and drunks, I can average 20 plus an hour in this period. A lot of drivers will work the early morning hours, 4am till about 10 am in downtown Dallas or Ft. Worth during the week. They get a lot of people going to work or the airports. Good luck.
I tried it in a truck they love it
Hello Jay another great video. Sorry to bring this up but before you ended the video you said "*hit sharing" lol! Just curious how any hours or rides did he work in those weeks and what was his expenses? know Dallas rates are pretty low if I am correct.
None the less Great job Paul!!!😁👍
He lied to Jay and Jay believed him. No way he make anything close to it.
Does Uber Texas require a medical check and car inspection before a new driver starts driving?
Don’t need to do that, know your city and be nice to the pax. I average 12% tips without doing anything other than knowing my city and being nice. I rarely unless it’s an old lady or man or it’s a female with a huge bag, but I rarely help with luggage and still get tips
I just moved from NYC and want to know how accurate the trips are for DFW I’m so used to the streets of NY but TX is different you can’t double park anywhere it’s just highways lol
First 1 1/2 years of driving (Uber only), I gave small waters, mints and butterscotch candies. Consistently, rude riders would stick Candy wrappers between the seats, in special nooks and crannies, leave empty water bottles under the seats etc. I would loan out an iPhone charger for the back seats and maybe 1 time a rider physically handed back to me. Everyone else would just rip their phone off the charger and throw it on the ground. In this last year, I do not provide any of these amenities anymore and it hasn’t affected my tips one iota because people do not tip in our Phoenix market. A normal day, maybe 10% of my total daily gross earnings is from tips. I am 50 years old and have been driving for 2 1/2 years. This gig is hard enough on the body. Your interviewee is 55 and driving for 3 weeks. I would be curious to see how enthused he will be after 6 months or a year or two of jumping out after each ride to open the rider’s door as if he was a chauffeur. I’m willing to bet his body will be broken down by that point! You did say he is between jobs so perhaps he has a very short term plan of being a driver until his next job and trying to maximize every possible tip in the meantime. If I were a rider, I would be a bit scared if he jumped out quickly to run around the car to open my door. Just saying!
Nope uber deactivated me cause the customer said I didn't provide a apple charger
Attitude is everything!
My UberX app froze up & now I can’t drive again. I also troubleshoot all day.
Jay, I love your videos, do you know how many miles and hours it took to earn $4500?
@Blair Group I agree man, I mean that is pretty unrealistic, although that would be extremely exceptional if this is true; need more transparency here Jay, what time did he start and stop driving, how many hours per day, how many days a week did he drive, etc.?
It would take 9-10,000 miles and 168 hours I think
At the current rate give or take luck. The most important thing is the time frames you choose to drive.
Pay used to be better per mile. 55 miles would mean close to 55 dollars now I think it’s close to 30.
now it’s simple for every 2 miles you drive expect to make 1$
Jay you have the best attitude about everything!!!
It depends upon the week!
If this guy lost his hands he would never speak a word.
Guys is making $1500 a week and $4500 for 3 weeks. it is doable. I make $2000+ week in XL, Select, Lux, Black categories in OC so $1500 in Uber X is pretty good. However obviously Uber X you gotta do more volume, working harder, With XL Select Lux and Black you are working smarter
Can you do ok side hustle driving uber only on the weekends ?
Oh and maybe a make videos that mention on how Lyft riders can have you deactivated for false accusations about being under the influence (often just for a free ride - and there is no driver protection from it) as well as the cancelling midway through trip for free rides issue.
There's always someone in the comment section trying to piss down a positive story.
Let the dude be happy
Nope. Just reality. Keep living in denial and you will find yourself a broke old person one day.
If can show screenshot, okay it's a positive story. But no proof, so it's the biggest lie in rideshare video ever
Hey guys I have a question. Can you record with audio on dash cam in Texas? Or is audio illegal?
What's Paul's referral code? I'm in Dallas and I'd like to transition to Uber from Lyft.
That isn't a Texas flag in the thumbnail bud.
don't believe this at all. i have 4.97 rating and provide no amenities other than good conversation. i get a good amount of tips but 99 percent of them are in app tips. why would they all be tipping him in cash when everyone else gets tips in the app.
What none of these guys are telling you is that you are going to work anywhere from 60 to 70 hours a week to make that kind of money. You you will have to work all day Friday and all night on both apps. Tips will vary as now we are after a pandemic and I have inflation going.. Great part time job do not do full time
I'm just curious but you said at 4:36 that the guy made $1500.00 per week. Is that net pay that he actually put in his pocket???
They don’t figure in profit.
Good stuff!
Tell Paul he better watch out for someone else jumpin in his seat and stealing his whip.
No Limitation Rideshare I’m thinking the 2020 Soul has a wireless key fob and will shut down if the key isn’t in the car.
I make more driving X than most Black drivers. All about experience.
Net 37/hr after gas and mileage
OK...Paul is not jaded yet, we get it!
Sounds like a lot of Sugar Coating to me.
With all the charts and graphs, you forgot to mention how many miles he is putting on that, (used to be new) Kia Soul, and how much the formerly new value has already depreciated!
Put that number in an excel spread sheet, along with the fuel, insurance, car wsh, and other maintenance costs.
Also, you forgot to mention how many hours he is sitting in his car seat each week, and each day!
Perhaps he will soon find out that a seven day a week, 70 hour week is not much fun!
Also, the cost of all the geedunks and chotskies that he is giving out to everyone.
Hey, Uber loves drivers like Paul, and they are the ones who are usually invited to the Uber Drier Forums, because they just sit there silently, and complacently, until Dara tells a dumb joke and then they applaud!
They never ask the hard questions about low rates, and Uber control of so called Independent Contractors.
All is well!
This story seems a little off
I drive in Dallas it way off.
@@kevina5519 nobody tips
I love how happy and how at peace he is ☮️🫂🤩 God bless!
Wait till ur robbed
I have only been driving for 5 months but ai think this guy should worry about getting deactivated and being given no explanation or just that the system did it automatically. Is it hit jobs from cut throat drivers? He will eventually get more one stars and after that probably spend the rest of his life wondering which seemingly satisfied customer did it.
This is our problem as drivers at this point in time. I'm not trying to be negative but how many above 4.9 star driver deactivations are there? Google it.
You are not correct!
In Dallas has tolls! I know he had to have $200 on tolls.
Where is the gas cost?
Where is the goddys cost?
Where is the depreciation on the car?
How many mi did he drive????
How many hours???
Don't be misleading!
I can brake it down real numbers for you if you care. I am in Dallas also
right now in nov of 2020, can you still making money for uber in dallas?
Question for uber drivers in southern California area. I drive in sf but I'm going to Fontana area for 8 weeks and was wondering what's the average pay per hr mon to fri 230-11pm and weekends. Thanks any feedback is much appreciated.
There is nothing in Fontana. If you want to drive in LA it maybe a little busier but the traffic will kill your earnings.
Thanks for the comments. So do you guys think at least $100 a day 8hr days with a 60 mile radius of Fontana would be a realistic number?
@@sean09gsxr600rider Only on a weekend.
@Serg8stok I'm estimating I'll need $600 a week for expenses and child support while I'm in training. So what ever extra I'll get will just be a bonus.
@@ELCLAVE300 I've got over 5k rides in sf and here I'm busier during the week. Now if I have to hit up la on the weekends to make up the difference that's not a problem.
I can make $1,500 a week working how many hours may I ask? 20% Tips - I'd have to see it to believe it. There must be a whole different kind of human in Dallas. 20%??? Not getting out of my car, particularly in bad weather is one of the perks of the job. If every trip tipped a single dollar that would change the whole landscape for rideshare drivers.
This video from jay has to be the biggest lie in rideshare video ever.
Yea I rarely see tips in Dallas/Fort Worth. I even do a ton of DFW Airport rides to increase the odds of tips, but 20% on every trip is extremely unrealistic. Sometimes I'll do a full 12 hours and not see a single tip.
Making $3,000 a week in the dfw area. I love my job!
Good Shit J
How? Just moved here, I’m making like $12 an hour before expenses, please help
@@y-strap well it’s all about experience and customer service
@@y-strap He is driving XL and/or doing 12 hours a day 7 days a week. Not possible with X or Comfort.
@@wageslave387 now that I have been here for 4 months, I’m doing 2-3k a month with comfort. Man, I’m working ALL THE TIME. Say 70-80 hours. The gas prices killing me, even with hybrid!
I've been a uber/lyft driver in the Dallas,tx market for some years. It started as a side gig but then became a full time because I started making more money and I needed the flexibility. The rating system is definitely bad but as a good driver that I am I always get my rating back when it drops. As for tipping that's a personal thing. You can give the world to a pax and get nothing and you can just say Hi to another and get $10. Dallas is a great market still. Check my page if you need tips about the Dallas,tx market
Wheres the screenshot to proof that he made that much . If cant provide , this Paul guy is s lying to everyone.
No screenshots = Fake
One more thing. Make sure you, the driver dresses in a clean manner. If you get out to open a door, you don't want to be wearing a ratty t-shirt, gym shorts and flip flops. You don't have to wear a suit and tie. I usually wear a polo shirt and jeans, but I make sure they are clean.
