This video is yet again about how Atlanta treats me at all times of the day. Doesn't matter what time of day it is, I always get screwed over as shown in the video. Enjoy everyone.
The sad part of watching this is knowing there’s a desperate driver that will work all these BAD orders. This allows companies to keep this foolishness going 🤦🏽♀️ no regards whatsoever for not only our time but our vehicles‼️ I’m finding a job now because the companies don’t care and the people we serve are ungrateful.
Trust and believe that I understand. These fares that they giving us is not paying for our expenses at all!! We're out here doing charity work for pennies on the dollar! Getting a "real job" as our haters may say, sounds about nice right now😂😮💨.
I think Uber changed to give requests to drivers based on time to pickup…some of these orders would be ok if you were nearer to the pickup
@@thomasautonomousanonymous2050 That's true that some of these orders would be better if I was closer. But unfortunately they don't ping me at a decent distance. Everything's always offered at a loss somehow where you're gonna do more work and get paid less.
These companies are criminals. Any of those trips would result in loss for the driver. Unbelievable.
You already know it! Some people will argue and gladly take those trips which is even worse😮💨. This is why the algorithm also isn't changing it up.
$4.31 for a 15.1 mile delivery, "including expected tip"??? 14.7 miles, 31 minutes for $6??? The app is on drugs. As badly as I need the money I haven't started either app since last weekend. ZERO surge, no quests in 3 weeks, and I'm making 25% of what I was making 3 months ago. I spend most of the night parked, declining garbage as bad or worse than this. I'm lucky if most of the rides are 30 to 50 cents a mile, I'm not driving for that BS. The IRS says it costs you 65.5 cents a mile to drive your car for business, why would you lose money driving for less than that??? Dara is a thief who needs to be locked up.
I 100% agree with you. My app shows the same crappy orders everyday just like how it shows you. On some nights it's so slow, you'd think the app is broken or something. We used to be able to make money with Uber and DoorDash as profits, but now we're basically forced to make money at a loss. A business isn't sustainable when you make money at a loss because you're expenses need to be covered, plus you're gonna need money for everyday life which will be covered by profits. It's a really sad system that's being promoted by these thieving companies.
The problem is that these dumb stupid desperate drivers will take these trips. I haven’t been getting tips lately too I’m giving 3 stars and lower to non tip I not give a F. 🤷🏻♂️
That rating sounds about right😂 and I don't blame you. Tips are our lifeline in the service industry and some people just could care less so I'd say return the energy. Rate them a 1 star and keep it moving. Also the apps have been caught stealing and reclassifing tips so sometimes it's not the customer. We have a lot of odds against us though right now.
This is why I just go home cuz this not gonna work! They charge the customers 60 to 80 dollars and give us 28 dollars I hope they get in some deep stuff
Yeah it's literally theft and it's how they have us out on the road longer because they're under paying us. The same money we'd make in 30-40 hours, it now takes 60 to 80+ hours. And as gig workers, we don't get paid overtime so the longer we're out doesn't mean the more money we'll "hypothetically" make.
Lyft is same $2.62-$4 consistently Friday & Saturday night. Apps off 2/14/24
Yup, we about to shut them down on 2/14/24. Power to the drivers!!!
This is a very good video to show to the world keep making more because I can't make any but am getting the same sh::t
Thank you, I'm glad that you're enjoying the content! My videos are here to bring awareness and that's what I state in my videos. My struggle isn't just about me, it's about what everyone else is possibly going through as well.
Going through the same thing here in Orange County California
Y'all in Cali are getting hit pretty hard I heard. Cali's expenses are way more than Atlanta's so I know the garbage pay is affecting y'all way more. I hope that these protests are going to make a change. We just had one out here in Atlanta today at our Airport and it's going to be on the news soon. We need to expose these companies for the thieving and conniving that they're doing to drivers.
These CEO should go to jail for this tyle of stuff. Its either the shavings on earnings,stealing of tips,or evening long miles and very low pay. Theyre squeezing drivers to the max. I hope karma hits them hard. This is down right sad on what the they're doing. All those orders they sent you eere complete thrash.
You just told the whole truth of what's exactly going on!! I hope they get the Karma they deserve too because drivers built Uber to what they are now. Without drivers, who would they be?
Drivers are coming together globally and are protesting against this stuff. There was just a protest on February 14th and it was all over the news outlets and RUclips. There's supposed to be another protest on April 1st also but this isn't going to be the last of it. There will be protest after protest and drivers will keep shutting/slowing down operations until Uber/Lyft decides to listen to us. At some point it will work out to be in the drivers favor. Stay safe out there though!
Just imagine if there was a job that paid you for every time you said "Bro" (or any variation thereof)
I know😂, I'd probably be very well off!
He will be better off because it’ll probably be his own business. If you are a owner no one cares if you say bro.
@@frankelse745 It's all good, I think he's just tryna give me free promo😊
I drove today and Lyft tried to nickel and dime me . Drove almost 7 hrs and made 107.00 dollars . Done
@@Americassweetheart3 I be saying this in my video every time that I be working 10-12 hours a day and sometimes more just to make what I need to make.
You said you drove 7 hours to make $107. That means you'll have to do another 7 hours to make another $100 dollars. That would literally put you in the same driving category as me with working 10-12 hours but that would add up to 14 for you. My point is that on the apps, they'll make you work longer and you'll continue to make less and less. The apps want to get rid of us drivers.
In order for us to now fight back for our money, we have to convert rides to our on prices because as I said before we're independent contractors. We have the legal right to decline and then counter-offer on the trip/contract.
This is literally the only way we're going to make it if we keep working in this industry.
Trust me, I know what you're feeling with how much work you're putting in and the little outcome that it's given. I hope that everything gets better for you and that money does find a way to pay all of us abundantly!
Bruh I live in Los Angeles and feel your pain. I quit rideshare to do grocery and food deliveries because rideshare got so bad. Its a struggle everywhere.
Yeah I'm starting to see it too. It's still so crazy to me that every market is getting this shit. I'm trying to make my pivot to something else too, but I do food delivery and grocery delivery to supplement my income most times.
Same crap in Boston Massachusetts
These low fares are creeping into every market and affecting us all and it's sad. We can change this on 2/14/24.
Im in virginia and 1 year ago i coupd make 30/hr easily even on weekdays but now 20/hr on weekend is a good day now. I reject all trash including 10 bucks for 35 min of work. Uber eats has good rates but only on Saturday.
Ayy shoutout to my hometown VA!! For VA to be about lovers, they sure seem to not show it on rideshare out there😒. We'll see what happens on 2/14/24, maybe that'll have their hearts in the loving spirit🤔. But yeah, I definitely don't do work for $10 for 35 mins of "estimated" time. They're out they minds 😤.
@demonznhellcatz8502 on 2 14 2024 the corporate employees will be having paid holiday and emp lunch while the drivers will be chasing those 5 and 10 bucks rides. Uber needs to stop taking in new drivers as there are already plenty of drivers and not enough rides.
There is not money on Uber or Lyft anymore. Same here in San Francisco
I'm figuring that out the hard way. The whole platform has gone to shit. Hopefully with all the protests we have going on, it'll make a change.
Driving in Phoenix Az.is the same crap we have to many newbies accepting these crap rides and they are hurting the industry these desperados driver need to quit accepting this crap then Uber has no choice but to give better pay
That's Uber's whole plot of why they brung in so many new drivers. It's to make profits from the new people accepting the trash rides/offers. If people only understood how an algorithm worked, it would make it so much easier to get the numbers higher for offers.
Also if the people aren’t going anywhere they just not going and I sit home until they Big Bird comes in then I go
Well years ago, when people weren't going anywhere they'd understand that us drivers are a convenience service. Just like any other convenience service, you're gonna pay a little bit more to get served. It's why CVS's prices are different from Walmart's prices or even Target's prices.
Is big bird another name for surge or something?
@@demonznhellcatz8502 yes sir that’s what I call it that when I start I get ready and sit in my house until something hits for 8 to 10 dollars then I go from 4:40 to 10:50 averaging 170.00 nothing more but that’s my average I work a day job so with Uber and that I’m straight but not moving until the number comes in then I take the good with the bad until 10:50 pm
Uber deserves your language.
I'll tell it straight to Dara's ass just like that💯
so sorry bro. I hope in the near futures Uber will pay more.
It's all good, I hope they pay better for everyone too but I'm done working with them.
They want drivers to quit so they can go driverless cars
@@gregvilla3837 Yup, that's their plan but we can stop it if we work together to fight it. It's either that or we take as many customers as we can from Uber/Lyft and we can service them privately.
You can't even take those! You would be losing $$😡😡😡
Exactly, and some people don't understand that these offers are a loss. Some people are still taking these same offers and act like they're winning. It's sad.
Are these orders AI generated or is there a actual person sending this shit?
I don't even know at this point🤷🏾♂️. Something's definitely wrong though.
Worst thing is people are accepting these orders, people that are desperate, that don't think that after expenses they are making less than minimum,, very sad. And these apps know that, and are abusing this shit
The apps could care less. They just want profits so they'll keep all the people that don't know what they're doing. But they're going to the extreme and taking us all down.
its getting really bad.
What makes it worse is that there was no money on Christmas either, just rain😮💨
I’m not gonna take any of that if it’s not worth it Atlanta going wild
Atlanta has really gone down the rabbit hole at this point! It was never this bad fr. It's literally the same work we've been doing for years but the pay keeps going down and down and now we're at the point to where most of this stuff is negative value or damn near a charity run.
Australia no tip
Tips are almost unheard of out here in Atlanta too. They're getting so scarce that people will think you're a begger if you ask for a tip. It's gotten that bad.
Most shitty offers accepted by drivers on the way back home😅
I believe it!
Yeah, impossible to accept such rides(none), phuck it, Bro...
It really should be $15 for every 20 mins.
$45/hr x 8 = $360
$45/hr x 12 = $540
I wish it was calculated like that now, but nowadays you're extremely lucky to even hit $30 an hour.
You’re wrong they do know what they’re doing
I would think so🤔
OK if they offered you $20 a ride would you work people working for peanuts man I get $20 for each ride
And that's exactly what they're doing. Working people for peanuts so that they can take the big money to the circus. We're just the performing clowns and we don't even know it yet.
same in dc
Don't you find it funny that this is a common theme everywhere. It makes you think that there's a bigger picture that's going on. There's no was that all of us are experiencing this out of coincidence. There's been some slow times in the gig world, but not like this.
Ppl that’s been doing this for a while understands his frustration
You understand it! It's literally the same restaurants that we used to pickup from years ago but now at half the price or even lower. The rides aren't ever worth it because you're usually under a dollar a mile and the customer doesn't tip so we can make up for the missed profit margin.
@@demonznhellcatz8502 It’s supposed to be side gig. “extra money. Make your 30 bucks a day. Throw it in a savings account and keep it moving 😂
Facts
True. I fell exactly the same thing he is expressing here. I just stopped doing it. It’s crazy.
@@frankelse745 Yeah, it's gotten really bad and I'm running outta options for who I can drive for that will supplement my income. That's been my biggest hurdle honestly.
Happened all day in Orlando. 10 hours, 180 bucks, then I had to take out $50 for gas.. INSANE. I'm just going to say no to everything.
I know exactly what you're talking about because it gets tiring as hell and frustrating! I always heard the Florida market was definitely having problems with too many drivers being on the road but nowadays it's only getting worse because they're still adding drivers but now they bottoming out the pay too. It's not looking good for anyone right now and Uber/Lyft doesn't care.
This is why there's protests going on so we can change the outcome. Hopefully Uber/Lyft starts listening soon because we are the bread winners of the company. Without us drivers, Uber/Lyft are nobody.
Did you end up quiting? That is about my same exprience now but I just started last week. 8-12 hours 160-220 dollars. Unless tips save me, which they don't. 🤦🏻♂️
I don’t understand why the fast food places won’t make the lobbies “deliveries drivers only” late nights. Nobody is about to sit in a line wrapped around the building. Some of those orders are nice, if we didn’t have to wait in lines. I notice if a customer tips $5, they’ll pull a driver that’s 7miles away instead of the drivers that’s the closet, so they can operate at $1 a mile. They’re so grimy.
Some of the McDonald's be doing it but they don't do it all the time. After a certain time they'll have us going through the drive-thru just like everyone else. When it's busy like how I showed in the video, the lines are usually wrapped around the building and the wait times are pretty bad even waiting on the inside (if they're even open). With the prices that they're paying, it's still not worth it because you'll waiting inside for like 10-15 mins and probably have to drive another 8-10 mins all for $6. That doesn't even make sense to me because in an hour, you'll probably max at $18-$20 if you're lucky (which is really hard for me any day as you can see).
Had a girl with a 4.7 rating spill a coke in my tesla the other day and gave ME a 1 star rating.
And you made 4 dollars no tip
Yupp, had that happen to me too. And they didn't wanna compensate nothing for messing up my car and gave me 4 stars because I said something about it😂.
@@michel1177 That shit be throwing me man😂😂. All that shit for $4 fuckin dollars and no damn tip. Non appreciative people will always amaze you.
Them silent Karen's be the ones that give you the low-rating. Same shit be happening to me, brotha. I'm the type of person to approach someone instead of RATING them lower about something. Rating without specifically saying something is the LOWEST FORM OF HUMAN, yet they feel entitled to everything working in their favor but they never say what bothers them.
Yup, they be the one's that'll do it to you!! It's all good though, like I said they're miniscule beings which is why they do things like that.
This has been happening in my state Louisiana since I've signed up.
@@josephparker2532 It's a common theme that's going around in every state it seems. I'm glad that I put these videos out because it's just confirming all the shit Uber, Lyft, and DoorDash are doing in real time.
Historic Protest against the injustice is faced by Uber and Lyft February 5, 1:00 p.m. 2024 in Austin, Texas at the Texas state capitol.
They changed the date to February 14, 2024 it's also on Rideshare Professor RUclips channel
Offers coming in non stop too meaning the demand is there and no surge thats wild
That's what I'm saying!! This is the same thing happened back in 2021 here in Atlanta, crazy demand but low ball offers all day everyday.
I feel you man. I’m in Phoenix and even since I started a few months ago it’s gone down hill. I rent a car to do this as well and this month it’s hard to make any profit on top of my rental fee. I think it’s time for a strike. These apps are pulling in record profits while we are trying to live off their scraps. We are the people doing the work here! Not the apps!
Exactly!! We make the money for the company and we deserve our chunks of profits too!! Doing this type of work in a rental will definitely make it hard because of how bad the rates are. If you can, I'd say to definitely get out of the rental as soon as you can so you can start seeing more of your profits coming in. These rental companies will drain your pockets dry!!
If you rent though Avis or Hertz they the driver 30% less try it next time stand next to someone who got they own car you will see😂
@@NClottery I'm trying to understand your comment but I'm guessing you're saying something about rentals?
@@demonznhellcatz8502I think he meant to say they give the driver 30% less if you rent through Avis or Hertz.
Yeah, I’m trying to save for a car but damn….these apps are making it harder and harder to save anything. I’ll get there somehow.
just drove from 830pm to 1230am tonight, made about 70 dollars, I'm done with the gig lifestyle.
I don't blame you, it's affecting all of us and some days will probably be worse than that. I've experienced it first hand so trust me, I know how you feel. If you can get around to doing Walmart Spark, it actually pays really good! I hope it gets better for you though!
I mean ain't that just below 20hr? Thats not horrible
@@LilRedRasta If you do gig work part time then $20 an hour might be good. But if you're doing gig work full time, $20 an hour isn't sustainable. You definitely need $40-$50 to cover expenses and for profits to live on.
@@demonznhellcatz8502 lmao idk where yall living but that's completely false. 40 hr and i'd be balling. like upper middle class to rich balling. that's like 100k-200k a year my guy. some doctors don't make that.
The AI hates you. Some other driver is actually doing those trips. OMG. I have never seen that much crap like that. The last two months in Portland were just the same junk rides. The AI is out of control. Passengers are paying a fortune, and drivers are getting screwed. Ride share companies will destroy themselves with greed. Driving used to be fun and worth it. The honeymoon is over.
I couldn't agree with you more!! That honeymoon faze of being a happy paid driver is over. We're now straight faced business people that know that we need money too. Also the people programming the AI are out of control. They're the reason why the AI is even allowed to do this type of shit. Greed is the destruction of almost everything, it happens everytime.
This is how your ratings go from high 90s to low 20s. I’m not accepting that bs. I’ll rather not make anything than take those rides. Get it off the app if you have to
My AR has hit 0% multiple times and it will linger around 3%-5%. Cherry picking is the way to go but the app seems to be running low on cherries.
Yo the CEO that took over Uber stated to the investor's he was going to cut the driver's pay down in order to turn a bigger RIO for them. Its been well documented how he cut the drivers pay by like 40% since he took over. Also the uber algorithm is truly bias. The AR is the problem. Someone else is getting the $3-$10 a mile orders. I noticed a higher pay per mile with a higher AR. Not necessarily meaning more money overall.
Interesting, so AR is affecting us with lower paying offers if we have a lower AR🤔. What I noticed is that when the rating system changed from the amount of lifetime rides you accept and now that it's out of the last 100 rides, I've noticed that pay has steadily decreased. So it definitely probably has to do with AR and the new system that was changed around. This is really fucked up if this is what it's come to. We are contractors, not employees. These companies need to understand that.
I had higher AR driving in Atlanta. It stands at 4.89 now. But It doesn’t matter. What matters from algorithm point is you slaving for the entire 12 hours and then MAYBE you could make between $250 to $300. This money is tempting but you soon find out it’s not sustainable health wise physically and mentally. You will get sick quick and Your car will depreciate fast before you are profitable. I have been there and done that. Uber wants you to drive the entire Atlanta non stop and charges you $400 dollars PER DAY to use the APP. That’s evil and criminal.
@@frankelse745 I haven't driven a full 12 hour day in years. Last time I drove that long was probably back in 2021. Nowadays I fatigue at around 5 or 6 hours and only make $100 if I'm lucky but most days it's around $50-$80 in the same amount of time. Most of the time is me sitting around and declining so those hours add up really quickly especially when you're being throttled badly.
Man, I can sense the frustration in your voice. They just got so greedy and it messes with your income. That hurts
Mannnn, it hurts when you can't make a living off the stuff you love to do. It never used to be this way but now they're seeing that we make all this money and they want it all. They're shitting on us in real time!
So you buy a car for $50,000 and then you "work" for a job that basically just burns your car down more than how much you're actually making.
Realistically, sell the car, sit at home with the money.
My car wasn't worth $50,000 when I bought it so that doesn't even apply to me. When you do this type of work, you do it in a car that's about $15,000 or less. I can't sell my car because I need to get around as well. Thanks for your input.
@rp38 Exactly😂. I'd never do Uber in my Hellcat if I had one. I'm just a fan of SRT's so I named my channel in that favor.
@@demonznhellcatz8502You are a smart young man. Hope you find something better. These greedy mofos will never pay you what you deserve as a decent human being.
@@frankelse745 I was always using Uber as just a filler for what I really wanted. I love the transportation industry and was contracted with a logistics company but then same thing happened there. I'm still looking for more opportunities and want to get into being a medical courier or some form of courier.
@@frankelse745 Thank you though for seeing value in what I do😊
I subscribed. I am laughing but it’s not funny. I been doing this in Atlanta since 2016. You are absolutely right. Uber thinks you don’t deserve to make a decent living doing Uber. I guess they don’t think you are doing real work. But driving for 12 hours is physically and mentally draining. So you need to be well compensated for the risk you’re taking out there. It used to be ok but now Uber is just scamming, pimping and spamming. It feels like slave work now. I just stopped doing it since the week before thanksgiving. Trying to get my own transportation company going. Good look to you brother. Start your own thing like delivery trucking, Dump Truck or something.
Sometimes I laugh at it because it's just funny that they're treating us like this. We the drivers basically built these companies to where they are and now they're shitting on us. I just can't wrap my head around the fact that they don't see the value that we gave to them not to much the other way around.
I've been searching for a very long time to get into the transportation industry. I was too young years ago and the entry age was mostly 21 years old. I found a logistics company back in 2022 called American Expediting and had fun when I first started with them but then I quickly figured out that there was too many people touching my money and it was getting lost of basically never paid out. That process got tiring and it sent me back to working for Uber and DoorDash. I have since then been searching for more opportunities but it seems like the whole transportation industry is either saturated or not paying anymore than a regular job. So I'm in limbo right now.
This was created for people to make "extra " cash not to be a full time job! You're a self contract with no benefits and ya expect to be treated the same as people that have a full time job? 😂
@@Trump-The-GREATEST Enjoy the content!
Driving in itself is a common stressor. I learned that at a young age. That's why it feels draining at the end of the day. We should get paid more based on that aspect alone.
@@miguelquinterojr7190 Driving to me is a stress reliever and it helps with my depression, especially driving fast. Whem I first got my car I knew that I was gonna drive the hell outta it. That's all I wanted to do and that's why I contracted with Uber and different gig apps. Unfortunately they're not paying like they used to so I'm searching for medical courier work or other types of courier work. Everything's moving kinda slow but I'ma keep looking.
Don't worry folks! Our replacements are on the way! Have you seen the videos at the southern border Texas. Those are who will be undercutting your willingness to drive for 0.10 cents a mile profit!
Yup, they're bringingvin immigrants that don't know what a proper wage is. They're just excited to be in "The land of the free" and live the "American Dream". But they'll soon understand that this is an American nightmare.
... and drivers like you and me who complain about 0.40 cents a mile, are the ones they want gone. To prove the point, Lyft just offered me $1070 to recruit a new driver, and the new recruit gets $700. It's like their ultimate end game is they want the poorest of poor to be servicing the weathly, such that their take is 90%.
@@hgodtx That's the way they're playing it right now. To get as many new people that don't know how this shit works and then price out the people that know how to do this type of work. It's all about cash grabs right now and they know what they're doing. And what makes it worse is that they're going to the extremes of stealing tips when they can't make their profit margins.
You rarely gets fares above $30. In the rare instances you do it will be more than 50 miles to an area you will struggle to find good fares. Uber will occasionally give you a good to trap you in slow area.
That's very very true also! They do give you the good ones to trap you into a slow area or they'll put you in a busy area and throttle the hell outta you!! We know this all too well😮💨.
why i stopped working wknds. If i get $1 a mile either way no point being out when its busy
I'm starting to see the pattern with the weekends where it's even less money than the weekdays. It doesn't make any sense because there's more people out on the weekends and businesses are usually way busier on the weekends so how are we getting paid less on the days that business picks up? That's what I can't wrap my head around.
@@demonznhellcatz8502 its a legal pyramid scheme. The DD ceo went from 20m to 1.1b in 3 years. If you owned the stocks you got rich.
WTF! and you can tell people are taking it! "The request is no longer available" I can't believe people are taking these trips at this price. Thats why uber is not increasing the payment. If no one accepts these trips I can assure you uber will either increase payments or go to bankrupcy.
Yup, people are for sure taking this shit! It's really sad to see because basic math says that you're working more than you're getting paid. People need to understand that we're working with an algorithm, and it works based on the price point that a contractor is willing to take. If the price point isn't satisfied, that means the price needs to go up until it is satisfied. Some people don't understand that because they're too employee minded but they need to change that mindset to a business standpoint and learn about making profits. If not, they'll figure it out when they get hit with that repair bill.
Damm Uber keeps almost 50% of every ride here in the Great Washington DC area for doing almost nothing
@@Alfie605 Yup, they're exploiting all of us! They're doing anything in there power and more to take money out of our pockets. Isn't it a coincidence that they keep lowering base pay every 6 months or every year? That should have been our wake up call that something is going on.
I don't think people are taking it. If you look at the trip radar, he would let it time out then it would say request is no longer available but then they would offer again. It is a ploy to make you think people are taking it. This isn't the case for all but if you watch the video again, you will see what I am saying.
@@flowzo75 Yeah, I caught onto a few of those types of trips because they'll go from the trip radar and actually ping me directly. Other times, people are actually taking the trips from the trip radar which is usually trash.
Same Trash and Garbage in DC VA MD brother. no difference.
I said this before but isn't it so fascinating that we're all in different regions and this epidemic is happening everywhere. This isn't like a regular type of epidemic though, it's ruining every region like it was calculated and setup. Only the smart few of us see what's going on but I just still find it interesting when I still hear that it's happening everywhere, not just a few "test markets" or some shit but this shit is happening everywhere!!
Strike Feb 14th mark your calendar
Marked🎯. Hopefully this strike will teach these companies that we are the actual bread winners, not these thieving ass companies!
It’s a dog on shame, it’s the same here in Pittsburgh 80 cent to a dollar mile 90% of the time. They are squeezing us man. The only time I get a surge is when I turn the app on my couch.
It's better to be home and have the surge than to be out driving because that's gonna cause you to use more gas than necessary. They're definitely squeezing the hell out of us and all of us can't be lying that we're not being paid because we know what we were being paid before.
That is so true bro
@@robertovega6113 I'm telling you
Imagine getting that $6 but for 9 miles and 45 minutes total. That's the bullshit here in LA
I definitely get orders/rides like that everyday. Everything is literally us working more for less.
I feel your pain brother I'm in North Carolina in the same thing is happening I'm documenting everything I have tons and tons of I'm going to start posting them on RUclips just like you guys to share the information and show that these guys are stealing from us and beating us to the ground to make remember they get their profits from our pockets by pay take keep documenting and keep posting I'm going to do the same I feel your pain
Yessir, definitely document what's going on in your market. There's people that are discounting what we're going through and falsifying what's actually going on. Anything you can show will bring light to the situation. Be safe out there though!
Hey bro I had started with doing just food deliveries, its been decent.. had some moments of having issues with deliveries but nothing too bad. Started doing rideshare, doing only short rides I can knock out quickly.. they add up.. but man after finding out they take like half of the pay just for the service, it becomes shitty lol. Should be making double what they offer for these rides.. Its damn near charity work out here. Ima stick to deliveries and only go for double digit orders at this point.
True!!! I started the same way with doing deliveries and got onto rideshare because I was hearing about the crazy numbers people were doing. I had some good days in the past but not anymore. I might just stick with delivering again as long as I don't keep getting tip baited.
@@demonznhellcatz8502 Honestly Uber/Lyft black at the airport is where the money is. But ive been hearing even Black isnt paying that well anymore. But I was at the airport a couple days ago and they actually had double money to mile ratio lol. But eh. I might try out the airport scene.
We got in this situation because everyone in this fucking country is doing uber and lyft , plus the biggest problem is with this people who accept everything, that's why the rates are going down and down because it's always a looser who will accept a low offer. I'm immigrant from Europe and still can't understand for example how the fuck uber drivers from France they get 8.95€ minimum fare and minimum 30€ per hour and minimum 1€ per kilometer and us here working for 40 cents per mile!!!??? This is insane, drivers from United States wake up!!! I live in Florida and my biggest problem is when I use uber to go out and the driver who's picking me up is an american and I ask him what is his AR and they always say 100% I just want to die!
@@newyorktimelapsechannel5299 Truth. I just now realized we're getting shorthanded and those little boosts/incentives they offer is what we should actually be getting paid.
@@newyorktimelapsechannel5299 Oh man😂😂😂😂!!! 100% AR is wild, they're literally driving to their own demise!! They'll figure it out when they don't have a car anymore!! The craziest thing though is that you can't tell them that they're doing it wrong because that AR is all they care about. It's so sad!!
Even though you're an immigrant, you understand numbers and you understand that working at these rates are not sustainable long term!! More immigrants need to be educated because they're coming to the U.S. for the dream but don't even realize the corporate nightmare that these companies are bringing them into.
They offers that fares because a lot drivers accepted this sh@t.
Yup, and the new drivers don't understand how the algorithm works. They just accept accept accept. The new drivers are bringing their employee mindsets to a business minded platform.
Word is that Uber and Lyft are taking the tips from the drivers.
That's the major way that they're making profits right now. They're having to steal from the same people that make the money for the company. That's a really low life thing of them to do.
I feel your frustration..
Trust and believe it is very frustrating 😮💨. I'm trying to pivot over to Walmart Spark more because the rumors are true that it pays really well!
I had support take UE off my app.
They kept toggling me on!
No way I'm doing that hassle for 3$
Hell no!😡😡😡
Oh wow, I didn't know they could do that. Like they were turning on Uber Eats even when you had it off? That's new to me. I don't put food orders (especially under $5) in my car because the base fare of the offer is only $2 so if you're only getting $3 to deliver the food, that means they only tipped you $1. Imagine all that work and you get tipped a dollar😂😮💨
These offers considering everything are almost criminal perhaps they need to be investigated and Lso obviously regulated too many people make a living off of this and its like they could have earned 400 dollars a day in 12-14 hours now they may make like 120$ before repairs? This doesnt make sense theyre gonna sink the company 😂
Uber added so much volume because they think it will increase their numbers. It technically has but it's at the cost of them stealing from the drivers. There's little to no regulations when it comes to Uber so it allows them to get away with a lot of the criminal acts they do. Hopefully the drivers can band together and change this on 2/14/24. We can show them that the drivers are the one's in control.
Just running into CVS, 9 minutes later realize ive been sitting here 9 mi utes. Cancel and move on get 1 star and complaint to Uber. Not just Uber to contend with but ungrateful entitled passengers
Uber doesn't pay for our time anymore and the customers definitely don't tip usually. We have to look out for ourselves in these times because no one else is looking out for us. I'd rather take the one star than take $1 for the wait time.
That $6.08 UberEats order to go 14.7 miles hurts my soul. That's not even 50 cents a mile
Some of the higher AR people are arguing that those are pretty good numbers😮💨.
@@demonznhellcatz8502 I need to know who their dealer is cos that's some good stuff they're smokin'
Exactly the same happening here in the Orlando area. Not worth driving at all.
I definitely understand that! We're literally being offered pennies on the dollar and it's forcing us to work at a loss. Maybe if we were employees we'd be able to do things at a loss but not as a business. It's not sustainable!!
For the new people who havent done this ...
Price
In the direction you eant to go
$1 a mile with no traffic. This includes miles to pick up.
$2 mile or more where you want to drive and will get more rides quick.
Dont wait more than 1 1/2 minutes , Leave and cancel.
Traffic means add at least $1 a mile extra
Dont do long trips in traffic ever ,more than 10 miles .
Dont take people to events ,if you want to pick up from events wait outside and ask for cash money 💰 $20 to pick up and $2 a mile
If everyone did this there would be no problem with uber ever!
I like that plan and it's very well broken down!! I can definitely second this!!
Also markets all over the country is over saturated with drivers I think. I try getting at least a $1 a mile if possible here in Philly (Uber). Also not getting those premiere rides too often even if in surge area. I can sit for half-hour in surge spot and not get a single request but as soon as I switch to UberX request are start to come. Used to care about AR but not anymore. Lyft even worse for me. That's why I don't drive for Lyft cause their pay is even worse than Uber, at least for me personally. Half a year ago was making roughly $19 to about $22 an hour, now its more like $11 to $14 (Uber)
If it running 1.00 a mile ur a dummy😂😂😂😂
Where I am illegal aliens are renting people's Uber & Lyft accounts, or in some cases stealing them or making them with other people's information. They'll work for a lot less than you or I would accept, of course they have no drivers license, insurance and in most cases they're running fake temporary license plates. Their cars are barely rebuilt salvage vehicles, not even road legal or safe. Uber & Lyft know what's going on, they don't care since it allows them to pay crap and make a much better profit. The riders are the ones who suffer. Ask your riders about some of the horrible drivers and cars they've had, some of the stories will freak you out. Sitting on piles of nasty clothes, rotting food on the floor, drivers who don't speak english, overpowering odor of weed in the car, drivers demanding gas money during a ride, I've heard some stories.
From what I remember, Lyft was always the lower paying platform not because they used to not pay but their market share was never as big as Uber so they were usually behind the ball. Whenever there's surge for me, 2 things happen. It'll be that I don't get a ride/offer for long periods of time or they'll spam me with rates that are lower than a base fare for the offer. There's no real win when it comes to surge so I don't even get excited anymore because they're stealing the fare and replacing it with an amount and calling it a bonus. Surge used to get you money but now surge is a cash grab for Uber and Lyft and they're gouging the hell outta the customers.
This hurts to watch, how come it's not sending you offline after 3 declines thats what it does in Orlando FL.
If it hurt you to watch, just image what it was doing to me😂. I don't think they've rolled out the "decline 3 times, take em' offline" program out here in Atlanta yet. They might soon because these rates aren't getting any better.
North Cobb Acworth and Kennesaw the same way!!
I'm already knowing, my videos show the experience everyday😂
It is happening the same in Cleveland, Ohio. They will lose many good drivers. The new ones joining in this gig will cost them eventually.
Good drivers that are earners are hard to find. Customers are complaining. Many of their friends and relatives are Uber drivers themselves. They understand how the robotic system is impacting negatively, consumers and drivers across the nation. Technology can be great but not everything can be animated
Customer support has their hands tied up. They are not allowed to intercede, favoring the driver against the system that is cutting down the revenue. Soon the ripple effect will impact customer support workers as well. a very sad thing to see.
These people do their best to solve our issues. They also work hard.
I think that rule applies everywhere including regular W-2 jobs. The influx of new employees may seem cheaper now but in the long run, they'll cost them even more than the older employees. History always seems to repeat itself, I think that's the funny part.
sucks everywhere..one thing I learned years ago...always have more than 1 source of income....do not solely rely on gig work...people made it work before gig work just a few years ago....it is not a career...Ive barely worked this whole month
Y'all keep getting on me about saying bro, I'm dying 😂😂! But no, I speak to them very cordially and minimize the amount of times that I try to say bro. It will slip a few times but it's just my form of speech🤷🏾♂️.
@@demonznhellcatz8502 lol, its all good bro...good luck out there in them streets....i had an ubereats that popped up yesterday for $2.70 including expected tip...naaaw, im good...I dont care if its only 1 mile I aint getting out of my car for $2.70
It's the same way here in Arizona. Last weekend was the worst Ive ever seen. I made more money on a dead Tuesday/Wednesday than I did the entire weekend. It's sad.
The weekends would be some of the worst days literally!! Everyone's out and businesses are busy but our pay seems to be even worse, that doesn't make any sense to me. Years ago when business was busy, we'd get paid even more. It's basic economics. So I definitely understand what it's like!
@nikas100 We don't know how to deal with this in Arizona. I'm thinking we're saturated with immigrants to the point where we're not gonna get solid surge until we have laws against people who are not here legally. We aren't used to super saturation like this! It's unreal to see all the cars at the lot on 24th Street. Just parked. Guys in the building like it's a hangout spot.
@@MicDropBBQ how can they possibly pass a background check when they just got here...theres no history on them!! lol
@@mikeb2611 They're buying accounts from people that have already passed! The UK caught a lot of them doing it. They use fake socials and all of that to get accounts, sell em or rent em out.
there are a million good jobs In Atlanta, what do you need this for????
There's actually not too many good jobs in ATL unless you're a doctor, lawyer, or a scammer. Other than that, it's just a regular job that keeps you "just over broke" and you have to get a side hustle like Uber to compensate for the rest. Please ask the people that have been here in ATL if the jobs are like it's made to seem.
Just play radio bro, don't try to make them happy doesn't work
And that's exactly what I be doing, sitting in my car and listening to music. I don't do it in the videos because I don't want copyright strikes against me but best believe I will chill out and listen to some music or something!
The cycle with uber goes, surge goes high, everyone makes bank, they all show their friends, everyone signs up and drives, kills the surge, people stop driving, then surge goes high, system repeats itself. Uber knows you are going to come back.
It's a slave mentality that they're getting people trapped into. But it was never like this before. Years ago, when you you showed a friend that you were making money they'd make money too and it would increase your money if they signed up under your promo code. But nowadays, it's the complete opposite. They intentionally saturated every market to end up with the result we have today. Underpaid and slave minded workers. Basic corporate type shit that they always do.
I’m really surprised for Atlanta. You would think it being a big city you could get some juicy offers where they have to actually boost it to get people to deliver it because the volume usually is high in big cities. at least that’s how it was when I tried out Dallas back in 2017 that was insane.
It was really good out here in Atlanta years ago!! But now, it's a different story. Atlanta went to shit back in 2021 and got better over time but it came back to being shit again in 2023. This time, it's plaguing all the markets. Ain't nobody safe from this shii. Hopefully these protests will help these companies realize that us drivers are the real bread winners.
I feel your pain too brother. I'm in Winston Salem north Carolina and it's so bad here. I can't make a living driving anymore for Uber. Six years Ubering and I'm done . Trash ride request like 50 cents a mile
Yeah it's so crazy that the $0.50 a mile shit is everywhere! No matter how good of a driver we are, it's inevitable to get pinged for $0.50 a mile continuously! It's literally the hardest thing to make a living and it's crazy that Uber is extorting and exploiting us like how they are. They definitely need some heavy repercussions and jail time for the evil that they're doing!!
I feel your pain
And I feel everyone else's pain too! Trust and believe I definitely understand. We need to all come together as a collaborative and take a stand against these thieving companies. If not, we're gonna be going through this for a very long time.
Not even dollar a mile on a busy hour. Damn uber really is pocketing everything on this state. Here in los angeles busy hours would be 1.50minimum/mile fuck uber man keep the grind goin we will all get to the top someday!
@@eisenhowermaldiajr3511 I hope we all get to the top somehow. Unfortunately, that won't happen with us working with Uber, Lyft, or any other gig apps. As long as they can dictate what they pay, we'll never make what we want.
We all feel your frustration!
And I feel everyone else's frustration as well. These videos aren't just about me, these videos are bringing awareness to drivers that are experiencing the same situation that I experience. So far, it's showing that all of us are in the same boat and there's one common denominator which is these thieving ass companies. They're getting way to greedy all at the expense of the driver providing the money for these companies. That's my biggest frustration. These companies need to see that without us as drivers, they're nothing but a lonely ass app.
Same garbage in Arizona 🚮
I swear I thought Atlanta was 50/50 but damn
Nopeee😂, ATL was about 50/50 years ago but it was even more of a split for us too because people were making bank during 2020 and earlier. Now it's all pretty much gone to shit. But yeah, I know all to well about what's going on in AZ. Like I usually say, I just find it funny with the whole pattern that this wage gouging has followed. It's mind boggling that every market is being extorted.
@@demonznhellcatz8502 We need to start the protest against these bullies.🪧

Haven’t been on in 4 weeks I don’t work for free
I definitely understand that, and that's the new standard. They either pay or they don't get any play🤷🏾♂️.
Make more complaining videos these will do really good in the algorithm
Yeah it probably will😂. I'm not really a complainer at heart but this content does show my everyday complaints. Hopefully the people at the controls at Uber/DoorDash see this mess.
You think being quiet is going to help nope we all need to start banding together these apps are stealing our money the percentage they take is way too much. Modern day slave wages!
We need way more complaining they want us to be quiet !
Look up Tony West he's working for Uber they Hired him so Uber can rip us off legally.
@@markyost3 Yeah they do! But we're not gonna stand for these thieving companies. We either work and make money with them or we don't work with them at all. We aren't going to be treated like slaves and let them get away with this stuff.
You gotta save some Declines for other drivers man
I'm trying😂, but they keep forcing my trigger finger
😂😂😂😂i had to get a 9-5. Did it for 8 years. Did it DC/OK. Its DISRESPECTFUL now. Bruh you DON'T get paid for those minutes to get them. You have to look at Total trip or at least the second part. You need to be able to ADD those numbers QUICKLY. I'm a former Server also. Also i saw a 17.50 plus a 4.00 surge which is 21.50 for a 30min. That was a better option for you. Thirty minutes FINESSE i use to FINESSE them with good music. No rap/rock/reggae. Just some relaxing oldies. Good conversation. Steer clear of talking hust about how you are getting ripped off BECAUSE the Rider is getting ripped off also. That way you get that Tip. The highest i ever got was 50 dollars but he also gave me another 50 for being a good guy. You are YOUNG. Learn a trade. Maybe think about owning your own Small box Truck. Work off apps
I usually always give my passengers the option to listen to whatever they wanna listen to. I pay for Spotify premium just so they can choose what ever song without ads and have never had a problem except for that 1 passenger. I've taken hundreds of passengers in my car and only 1 complains about the music but I'm like I literally just asked you was there anything you want to listen to. You can't please everyone though🤷🏾♂️. If that $21.50 required me to go 30+ miles, I'm not taking it. While it's a win on the 30 min timeframe, it's a loss in miles and I look at the whole picture. If we were in better times, I generally wouldn't mind taking the loss because it would be supplemented by tips which is the lifeline of our type of work. My conversations are usually very open minded so if we get on the topic of how much I'm getting payed for the ride, I will tell the truth and let the passenger know. They still tip me even though I let them know that Uber is charging the hell outta them because those types of customers respect service workers. I don't like breaking the news to the customer that they're getting jipped but I'm an honest person and if I get rewarded for it then it is what it is. I haven't gotten into trades because a lot of them don't interest me, even though they supposedly pay really good I still need to find something that I would really put my efforts into. I honestly love driving my car and I feel like I'm in the right industry but right now it's chewing me up and spitting right back out. It's the same for a lot of people. I do agree with you though that I need to start something of my own. Thank you for your comment!
Is this even legal??
Well, a lot of us are figuring out that Uber and these other companies are stealing our tips to shave off the top of our earnings. So this is definitely illegal as they're stealing money from us.
@@demonznhellcatz8502 Wow Class action Lawsuit with proof… I would definitely pursue this
Those offers were all shameful. What are they doing? Those prices would put the worker in the negative. Fvck them.
Mann, if only people knew. Even when you make some form of profits on Uber, it's usually going to a bill or something so then it puts you right back to driving for nothing almost. It's a really sad cycle they got going on.
honestly the money is there.. I drive in detroit and its a $1 per mile most of the time but I get nowhere close to as many pings as you do. ATL looks like you need to change the mindset to hourly. a lot of your offer for rides were well over $20 an hour. cant make money if your wheels aint spinning...
I guess
He is actually looking for money driving for Uber......is that stupid or insane.....or both? Only idiots drive for Uber..... supplementing rides that should be at least $3 per mile.
Possibly🤷🏾♂️
This is bs. This is why we need to strike. Please save the date 2-14-24 nationwide strike. Participate don't be on the roads. They steady playing us. This is happening nationwide. Get with other drivers spread the word. Reach out to the news crews. Tell them about the strike. We gotta come together. Put out flyers
True, we have to make something happen!! I've been spreading the word to as many people as I can. There's HIGH AR drivers that aren't agreeing with our strike so they're not budging. But I will definitely keep telling people about what we have planned.
Los Angeles is trying this tactic also. I been doing uber 5 years never seen it i ths bad.
I've never seen it this bad either. I definitely feel bad for y'all in Cali because y'all's costs are high as hell especially in LA.
2/14/24 is our big day to show Uber, Lyft and the rest of the gig companies that we won't take this abuse anymore.
Not worth the time or your car. Deliver before these apps made sense because you would deliver within a 2 mile radius only. Also, the restaurants would give you multiple deliveries stacked up.
This is very true! This type of gig work is not reliable anymore like it once was.
I'm looking for another job, I been driving for Uber for 6 years in a row being diamond with 4.97. Uber doesn't care about drivers
Yeah, everyone's experiencing that Uber is extorting us and exploiting us. I definitely agree that it's not the best time to work with Uber. Hopefully the protests will make a difference though. I wish the best for you though!
Ask yourself... how much are you making per mile driving WITHOUT a passenger!...ZERO DOLLARS.
I've driven Uber for 7 years, and what I've learned is that even the so-called trash rides are better than NO RIDES. Even "trash rides" will earn you $20+ per HOUR. THAT is the measure you need to consider... NOT DOLLAR PER MILE.
Lastly, UBER is NOT a video game! Every last one of those rides you're denying are REAL PEOPLE WITH REAL DESTINATIONS utilizing the service that YOU agreed to provide.
We are contractors and we understand that the customers on the platform are potential contracts. This doesn't mean that I'm "supposed" to provide them service and this doesn't mean that the customer/contractor is "entitled" to the service. If the price isn't right, then we as contractors are allowed to counter offer until the price is right. Hence, why we decline the offers therefore the prices should increase. I have video on my page showing that the price will increase if you decline the offers that you don't want. Thanks for your input!
@demonznhellcatz8502
Basic economics... when prices go up, demand trends down. You are burning through fuel and wasting money thinking you're gonna get $1 per mile on every ride. It's simply not realistic. Do yourself a favor, and for one 8 hour day, accept nearly every request and see that you earn far more than that $50 per day.
@@AltMHarr Cool idea but I've already done the "I'll accept everything" scheme. I'll make more money than I probably make now but it's at the expense of my gas, wear & tear, and the not so ideal customers. There's a reason why you have to be picky in business. Any wise business owner will tell you this. But anyway, when you put all those things into account, it's still not profitable because of the risk that you deal with when you just "take everything". So again, thanks for your input!
@demonznhellcatz8502
Speaking from 7 years experience and 25k+ trips with a full 5 Star rating... being that "selective" is doing more harm than good. It may be because I'm driving in Nashville vs your Atlanta passengers, but I have awesome experiences accepting nearly all. My AR is 97%.

Didnt expect that from Uber Rideshare! Its been happening to me with Uber Eats and I was like w/e its food but driving People? Straight bs.
I'm telling you!! The wage gouging is happening everywhere!! It affects some of us more than others but it's no secret that they're gouging us all. I definitely didn't think it was gonna get this bad but I guess it is what it is. There's little to no tips on food delivery and definitely no tips on rides so a lot of us are driving for just what we can get that makes sense for profitability.
I use to drive for those criminals and trust me i live in SF and it is the exactly garbage rides
Whatever they're doing at Uber and DoorDash headquarters is really plaguing every market with this shit! It can't be a coincidence that everyone is having a hard time in every market and experiencing the same exact problems. This is all calculated sabotage.
