Hello, I'm Lyft's driver. I'll tell you. Lyft takes 70% and gives 30% to the driver. And when the car gets stuck in traffic, it charges passengers for traffic and gets all the money, but only about 0.45 cents to the driver. And when it arrives, it takes 5 minutes, which also charges passengers a lot of money and gives drivers 0.07 cents. Lyft and Uber need a thorough investigation
I work for uber driver complaints handling sessiom and can tell you driver cry alot about fares and rates of uber when i see those complaints habdled by indiam call center, also there are some loopholes i can leak which can benefits drivers in getting free money
I'm going to mention this to Sergio from the Rideshare Guy channel. Logging off and on and also pressing "last ride" is key to keep the surge going. If ALL DRIVERS WOULD DO THIS, WE ALL WOULD MAKE BETTER MONEY. Like maybe everyone logging off every 10 mns for about 2 or 4 mns in a busy or semi busy zone. Surge would double or triple. You deserve more followers, good video sir.
This sounds logical because the platform starts off with the lowest wage. But if everyone rejects it then they increase the price. It's a marketplace when there are more buyers the price goes down but when the price goes up the demand for drivers increases. But we as drivers want to buy low and sell high. In other words we want to go the lowest distance for the highest price. But Ober has a way of bundling two or three rides or two or three deliveries for one price and rejecting the last one becomes difficult when the first one is accepted because all bundled together but you would not have known that from the beginning of accepting the order not necessarily rides. Those brainiacs develop this algorithm to maximize profit for the company while we become their slaves.
@@dhayes6147 a lot of drivers don’t have any clue they just accept anything these dirty developers in slave drivers with algorithms all they need to do is not accept for couple minutes
I always logoff after accepting every ride, because I want to dictate what rides I want to accept. I learned this the hard way. Also if every driver did this there would be a lot more surges.
Yup, less miles on vehicle, quicker hops back and forth, more money per hour. There's people on here that actually care about acceptance rates 😆😆, nowhere on Uber/Lyft does it say you'll be deactivated because of an acceptance rate 🤣🤣🤣
I have no idea how this works, but I do usually add stops once I’m in the car. I often get “free” rides too because they don’t want to leave me without having a stop in the app, they will just decline other rides and end up turning the app off. I made my last Uber driver cry. She picked me up from the mall, drop me to the liquor store, then to the pharmacy, to the gas station, and then to my condo. I haven’t had a hug like that in so long. She was absolutely the sweetest and I’ll never forget her and I’m 100% sure she won’t forget me either. I ended up tipping her $40 in the end. The driver who took me to the mall gave me his number and told me if I ever needed anything I could just call. Generally I tip $20 in cash, but she deserved that after our experience together and just for who she is as a person. I only get $600 a month on disability, but I know y’all don’t get tipped enough. I always try my hardest to make people smile. Three rides ago my driver only spoke Spanish so I was looking up things to say to him. Sé un poco de español, so it was a great ride. I miss driving so much, but I have a shattered leg. Thankfully I absolutely adore Uber drivers. Still maintaining my 5 stars. ✨🧚🏻♀️
Sorry for the rant. I guess there is some advice on how to be a good passenger. Between the first two I mentioned…I had her nearly get in two accidents because she was on her phone the whole time trying to show me photos of her family. She also did a u-turn in the middle of a busy 50mph road. Luckily I am the type of person that says, “you go girl,” in response to these things. He broke two of the terms and conditions by promoting a competitor app and giving me his number to take me off of the app. I do have a personal shopper I stole from DoorDash. The other day I had someone with another passenger in the car. The only thing against the terms and conditions that people frequently break that annoys me is the last thing I mentioned. I’d never report anyone though. They could hold a gun to my head or start stroking and I still wouldn’t.
My quick math for rides is: I multiply what I’m getting paid by 2. Then I add the time for pick up and drop off. If the time is not the same or less I don’t do it. All this I do it quick before I accept or decline. With this method I average $30-$37 an hour in Chicago.
@@SLVRFOX88 with this method I make at least $300 in 10 hrs or less. Last night I made $377 in 10 hrs. I started with a full tank and when I was done I went to fill up and it cost me $30. Here in Chicago I average $1700 a week with this method.
I drive here in Chicago too. Uber tells you exactly how long a ride is going to be now, it even shows you on the map what route you’re taking, and exactly how much you will get paid. No need for calculations anymore.
@@puccan479 There is absolutely a need for the calculation. Your rate is never consistent. You shouldn’t accept offers for less than $1.00 per mile. Then before you accept those, you should be making sure your hourly rate is going to be at least $30. If you aren’t doing that, Uber is taking advantage of your impatience. Then again, you also shouldn’t wait to earn $1.50 a mile, because those will rarely come. There is a earnings sweet spot.
Its not even that bad. I do this when doing ubereats. Gas prices are high and you want to make sure the trip is worth it. They have really bad orders. A year ago ubereats was good. I would make almost 100 dollars on 1/4 tank of gas and then working on my next 100. I have made $289 in one day working like 10 hours with breaks, and I cherry pick. but nowadays those large orders with short distances rarely come up. I remember one night I was getting back to back wendys orders for $40, two deliveries in under 30 minutes. I got 4 of those orders back to back. I made over 100 dollars in like 1 hour and a half. Bring back those days
Notice the time of trips for 20 was roughly 30 minutes. He then got a $7.50 bonus and the pay for the next 30 min trip was still roughly 20. Uber is killing us and thinks we’re stupid and can’t do simply math
i logoff on every ride! once im cruising to the pick up area! sometimes you will miss some good rides or surge by doing this but i dont like to be distracted by checking my phone and taking my eyes away from the road!! we also a group of friends and we are in constant communication to see where the bests rides and the surge areas are!! by logging off and back on i get yo pick and choose my rides not the ones Uber wants to give me!!
A lot of people don't understand the difference between slave labor and "independent contractor". We are not independent because if we reject all the orders we don't want because it does not pay, we will be off the platform. That was why the message came up after all those rejection asking "are you still online" The algorithm works by taking the amount of rejection dividing it into the number of acceptance. When the rejection rate is higher than the acceptance rate, you will be off the platform. There is no 2 ways around it. And if you call the Philippines and talk to those people who always say the same thing like a robot, there's nothing they can do about it.
I’m Uber five star Dimond drive who ever doing reputedly they’re westing there time plus there status and promotion, it will lower your acceptance rate, increase cancellations rate that is a big red flag for you, if do this every day after a while the system will luck you up with warning. Not worthy at all I don’t recommend.
Bad bad advice and no where does it say you'll be deactivated because of your acceptance rate. Man people need to stop listening to comments like these 😅
cause hes a bum ass driver, i dont pickup everything either, especially long rides, but i can make 200 in 6 or 7 hours, he should learn how to have fun with the app and i start 5 or 6am
The best way to keep assholes and drunks out of your car is to look at their ratings before accepting the ride. If they have anything less then a 4.74 dont pick them up. Uber has been around almost 15 years so people have been using uber for awhile now so if their asshole or unpleasant other drivers have rated them already. The uber rating system is like Yelp for passengers
The sitting time waiting between this "pro tip" is defeatjng jt tho. Some of you cant do basic math and think 8$ is bad trip but its a 1 mile ride but youll jump at a $30 ride for 15 miles smdh
@@mysticnj then something isn’t done right. Definitely go offline between rides or stop requests or turn the Uber x off in your filters or preferences after you accept a ride. Should have nothing to do with cancelation rate
@@mysticnj A cancel is when you accept a ride, then hit the cancel option for that passenger. Not accepting a "ping" or ride has nothing to do with your cancel rate.
I leave at 4am every morning by 2pm I’m up to 270, I work at a warehouse after, I wish I could stay out longer. I usually stay in the Logan airport area in Boston, the pay is good if u don’t mind the traffic 😂👍🏻
The reality here is that they don't have much competition... if they had competition they would be fighting for who has the best acceptance rate so that uber can give them the best orders.
I'm sure he knows but it seems he probably just didn't organize his Apps, at 8:10 you can see 3 redundant Google folders, 2 RUclips apps on a home screen. I actually keep many apps in the drawer just in case I'm going through my phone with someone present, hey they don't need to see that I like Taco Bell (once in a while) lol.
There’s no hard way to learn. Lol. You rate goes lower and lower and that’s fine. No punishment from Uber and you lose minimal benefits from their pro programs. The alternative is accepting all the trash rides and feeling horrible while completing them. All to keep an acceptance rate above 90%. No reward for that
I do this too. I live in New Orleans during Mardi Gras season the pings don't stop and they will try to get you with the constant pings and big numbers but terrible drive time. Be patient and cherry pick the good ones. Thanks for the video 👍
I live in New Orleans also and you have to cherry pick to save time and make money during Mardi Gras. Traffic was madness this year. Acceptance rate horrible now due to Mardi Gras but I make money
Don’t you hate it when the demand is so high that they flood you with all the trash Uber x rides and you can’t even go offline because requests keep coming in lol😂
@@WhoDatNation13 exactly. A good acceptance rate doesn’t ensure good money. It just makes you angrier that you took all those crap rides, just to be over 90%
Just seeing all those offers coming in period is making me jealous. Boyyyyy summer in Florida is impossible to make money. I can’t wait for season to come back around so it’s popping off like that again.
This is a good one. However, now Uber just blocks some surges and sends you $5 rides when there is a whole concert coming out. They are finding ways to cook even the app they created to get away with paying poverty wages.
It makes no sense to accept an order where the distance traveled in both directions cost more than the actual pay associated with it. But rejecting it is used against the driver. It happened to me all the time. The government needs to come in and regulate this and as far as overtime pay is concerned. Anything over 44 hours in Canada is considered overtime pay. But Wilbur does not give you the hours you work it only gives you the hours you've been "online" so anything I've been doing sitting a traffic light for 44 hours. I will be contacting the ministry of labor to see about my overtime pay now that I am no longer employed with this company. It's Slave labor in plain sight Hidden by high demand ride$
Did he just work from 830a to 730p and only accept enough trips to earn $160? You might have saved on miles but that seems like a lot of time wasted. For 11 hours of work I wouldn’t be satisfied with anything less than $350
He clearly states at the beginning of the video that his goal is to make $150, and he states Thurs. and Sun. are typically slow. And obviously he is doing it his way to accept only what he is comfortable with until he reaches that goal no matter how much time it takes.
@@beet. I heard what he “clearly stated” douche. He earned $14.50 an hour before expenses ($0.655 per mile, and he probably drove 100 miles). After expenses he earned $8.50 an hour. And we still haven’t talked about the taxes that come out of that $8.50 My personal hours are wayyy more valuable than that. If someone offered you an $8.50 per hour job cash you probably would not take it. He’s working for far less than $8.50 an hour and he thinks he is maximizing his efforts. It’s kinda sad.
I don't know how you are getting upfront info when your acceptance rate is obviously super low. If my acceptance rate goes below 85% I get Zero info about where my rider destination is. Is it different depending on state?
I been doing uber for a 1 year now I am gonna do this thank you I usually do airport runs the best money I wanna try to make 200 everyday but been making 150 daily
This is very smart to wait until you get good rides, i used to get $300 for 12 hours accepting almost all rides near $2 miles, and my gas was every 2 days now i do this and i get pay less but my gas last 5 days and less miles drive.$200-250 daily.
What's your acceptance rate? Because I'm doing the same thing with in one week I declined over a 1000 trip in dc area now days it's very hard to make 100 dollar in 5 hours smh

Ouch!! You rejected several $40/hr trips which are too good here in the LA area (CA). I go by hourly rate with my calculations when accepting. On slow days, during prime time traffic $20+ an hour is considered ok, otherwise if I’m very picky, I’d be killing a lot of time. You had me drooling with your with your surge map. I guess we LA drivers are fucked.
@@kmg7640 exactly. Boy do we have it shitty here, he had me crying with the rates 😆So no I don’t do early mornings because I just can’t do it as much as I would’ve liked to try. I have a chronic pain illness which doesn’t allow me to wake up early and I need hours after waking up to gain lucidity and shake away some of the pain and soreness. So I usually do 3pm or later and do anywhere between 5 and 8 hours straight. I’ve learned to calculate an hourly wage for a ride as it comes in and I think that has improved my earnings. I tend not to accept less than $20 unless it’s a very slow day or I’m in the middle of traffic that over $20/he is just not reasonable. If I average $25 an hour on weekdays I consider it a day. I’m thinking of trying to purposely drive east (with destination mode) to avoid most heavy traffic and open myself to possibility of longer distance trips. Not sure if it’s worth the gamble.
Giving rides seems really good specifically because the distance are short. Well probably not all, depending where you're located. I'm just not with having people behind me while driving, I hear too many horror stories.
My CherryPICKING 🍒 101 RULE - Houston, TX I need to see the following: 1. @least 50 cent per mins 2. @least $1 per mile 3. keeps me in my MoneyZONE💰 4. Not over 10 minutes to pick the pax 5. Switch it up during the rush hour. Watch the miles, but focus and charge based on the minutes it will take to complete the ride because of traffic. Lesser miles with higher pay is better. 6. Bend the rule if the pay is worth it.
Hey Stephen! Wondering why you are asking him? I know you're a pro, you guys even talk about these things on your Rideshare Garage live stream (plug), which is great btw, though Vinny's soundFX get a little annoying.
You should have drove right to that (11 dollar) surge tag that was only 1 block away, either than that nice picking! Anyway this is basically creating a surge by all the orders not getting filled, hopefully they don't punish you for that..algorithms be tricky and they don't tell us everything they know!
I agree he should have went for that $11. Surges aren’t created because you decline rides. If you turn Uber x off in preferences then there’s one less x driver on the map and that will force a surge. The declined rides will just show up as trip radars for other drivers. And trust there’s a driver who will take those trash rides, unfortunately
Man thats crazy cause in my city i average 160 in 5 hours easily no matter what day it is. If i am able to share the screen shot i would show you on here.
I see what he’s doing. He’s waited for the surge to get paid more for shorter trips and Uber is charging the passenger the surge and the passenger is also tipping as well. He probably made that $160 but only drove less than 50 miles😂😂😂😂😂

SERIOUS QUESTION AS IM NEW TO UBER. Thats a long day of work. Breaks down to about $14 an hour. Is that normal for this kind of a job? Cheers from Denver Colorado!
Canceling a ride after you’ve excepted, it is very different than just not accepting the ride from the get go. You have an acceptance rate, and a cancellation rate . Ideally, you want the lowest cancellation rate because you just don’t want to accept a ride and then cancel it on the customer. If anything, you just need to not accept a ride, that doesn’t make financial sense to you as a driver.
I don’t know about this…I made $200 in 4 and a half hours, on a Friday and Saturday night…and didn’t cherry pick…lol…I accepted every ride that popped up…to each his own though…
@@ozanusanmaz8839 I’m in Tuscaloosa, Alabama…I go on campus at the University of Alabama…and I get rides back to back, especially on Friday and Saturday nights…just started doing it a month ago…
Yeah, but those are also the best times to drive. Hence the fares are better than the daytime when most folks are at work… weather that’s at work at a Friday daytime or a Saturday daytime since there are a lot of people that do work, the weekends, such as retail
How much closer did you need to be to that $11.00 surge before you get it. Litterly looks like a mile or less, and your bonus is only $6.00 which is nearly half... wtf. Being that close you shpuld be getting atleast $9.00 / $10.00
The payments are very good 21$ 4 miles 😮 here in UK 20£ is 22 miles 😢 when I complete 100£ I have 125 miles done , is just bad. I believe in this moment is different for everybody
It's surging why bypass them and $18+ rides? Some customers will even wait not to pay the surge. Surge and drop on a dime also or in a few min. 27 min ride next one $21.49- 37 min and skips that
I don't understand, you declined like seven trips that paid the same and then finally accepted one that paid the same as a ride you declined like 15 minutes prior.
This is great advice. For a lot of people who don’t know the Boston market could you give some insight into what causes you to decline a 30 min ride for 20+ dollars with low mileage but accept a lower paying one?
Most likely it's because of where it takes him and 30 minutes of dead miles to return. But the main reason is you want short trips to stylay in surge area. Bang out as many surge trips as possible
Unfortunately, we don't have enough time to calculate the distance It might be helpful to know The Dollar Mile Ratio = (Fuel Cost per Gallon) / (Miles per Gallon) Fuel Efficiency: Your vehicle has a fuel efficiency of 30 miles per gallon (MPG). Fuel Cost: The current fuel cost is $3.00 per gallon. Distance: You plan to drive a total of 300 miles. Now, let's calculate the dollar mile ratio and assess profitability: Step 1: Calculate the fuel consumption for the total distance. Fuel consumption = Total distance / MPG Fuel consumption = 300 miles / 30 MPG = 10 gallons Step 2: Calculate the fuel cost for the total distance. Fuel cost = Fuel consumption * Fuel cost per gallon Fuel cost = 10 gallons * $3.00/gallon = $30.00 Step 3: Calculate the dollar mile ratio. Dollar Mile Ratio = Fuel cost / Total distance Dollar Mile Ratio = $30.00 / 300 miles = $0.10 per mile In this example, the dollar mile ratio is $0.10 per mile. To be profitable, you would need to earn more than $0.10 per mile in revenue or earnings. If, for instance, you were driving for a ride-hailing service and earning $0.15 per mile, then your earnings would exceed the fuel cost, making it profitable.
It’s been over another year now since ur comment and I stay in Chicago so 10 is still a bit too low. Only if the miles are like 4 and less I’ll go. I been getting alot of shopping orders lately and those go for usually $20-$40 for me. But sometimes for 20 plus items. Takes a while
i'm new to Uber X scene. Why can you see the destination and I can't. I live on the border of NJ and PA and I don't want to go into PA. 1. I have to pay tolls, 2. I don't get offers while over the river.... knowing that I'm NOT going into PA would make my life easier
He’s declining trip offers that aren’t high in pay. The boost got higher and he “cherry picked” or picked the offer he wanted. Low distance and time to complete the trip for the most pay.
I try to do it it is given me a bad acceptance & cancellation rate and know they don’t give a good trip and a can stay the whole day on without any trips 😢
Good for you if it works, but I must tell you in a smaller market like Sioux Falls South Dakota you don’t get those trips back-and-forth like the Boston area. However, your suggestions in your video were very helpful to me however, if it had been me, I would have accepted some of those trips, especially the ones that paid $15-$20. But I see your point about the surge.
We don't get surges like this anymore. It will just say surge with no description of how much the surge actually is. Its made it way harderbto cherry pick
I live in TN, most of your $20 rides for 5 total miles even with $2 boost+ would be $7 here; unless, it’s a Uber Reservation trip, possibly $15+. Although, economy here I’m sure is cheaper than Boston so it makes a little sense why you get those offers.
Tonight was the worst night of driving in my entire Uber experience, I made 20 fucking dollars in 8 hours and all I kept getting was shit trip after shit trip
Moral of the story folks; never accept trashy offers & the system will eventually have to raise the price for the better, they've got no choice but to! 😄😉👍 "Flip it, from trash to CA$H!"
Some of y'all are talking about passenger driving it's not the same. Also in Miami they are capping and profiling. As soon as you don't accept ine offer you can expect to wait for another one or be idled for 3 to 4+ hours. What they are doing is predatory. Sort of like oh so you not going? Okay then you get no more offers.
I would be happy with dollar/mile ratio. My area of San Diego gets maybe half of that although it looks like the time spent on those drives in Boston are a lot longer.
It’s very strange how smaller cities offer more surge and per mile more ratio money I saw him he didn’t take total 5miles ride for 25$ it’s crazy I don’t even make 25 an hour in NJ
Not all miles are created equal. At first I thought the same thing. But then I saw the how many mintues it would take him. 30 to 40 mns for a few miles ain't worth it. You have to look at both miles and minutes and do quick math. No driver should be grossing less than $30/hr preferably above $40/hr but some days isn't doable but it doesn't mean you have to accept crap offers.
I understand we have to cherry pick but bro if you Don two 30 minutes rides for 20 that’s 40 an hour. That’s how base my rides time and pay fuck the miles
They pay better in other markets in tucson low fares are common quests and challenges are usually low last quest 70 rides for $95, no three of three, airport rides not even above $10 for 9.5 miles.
I do this too but you lost me when you accepted that first ride 27-28 minutes. You gotta LOCK IN big surge and then take the shortest in time & mileage rides only. When I’m in big surge, the surge $ is all I care about and the ride (the normal fare part) means little to me. The short ride is just a means to get that big dollar surge amount. That being said, I know the area and it just takes time getting around, especially in the 8 o’clock hour. Good tactic sir.
People need taxis cause they are in rush in most of the cases for hospital or somewhere else. I hope we havent greedy drivers in our area and they are not lazy to work ,cause i need it taxi few many times by emergency for my kids.

Yh true
Not completely true in cities like Chicago 😫 traffic is wild
Yes. If a long ride takes you out, you lose money. The bonuses are based on trips completed.
Never used to be the case but now it is since drivers allowed Uber to not pay by fixed mileage and minute rates.
Yup, less miles on vehicle, quicker hops back and forth, more money per hour. There's people on here that actually care about acceptance rates 😆😆, nowhere on Uber/Lyft does it say you'll be deactivated because of an acceptance rate 🤣🤣🤣
Stopping requests after you pick someone up retains the surge bonus AND blocks them from adding stops or changing destination on you 👍

Generally I tip $20 in cash, but she deserved that after our experience together and just for who she is as a person. I only get $600 a month on disability, but I know y’all don’t get tipped enough.

I’d never report anyone though. They could hold a gun to my head or start stroking and I still wouldn’t.
My quick math for rides is: I multiply what I’m getting paid by 2. Then I add the time for pick up and drop off. If the time is not the same or less I don’t do it. All this I do it quick before I accept or decline. With this method I average $30-$37 an hour in Chicago.
What is the reasoning behind this method if I apply it to my offer history some would be as low as 70 cents per mile.
@@SLVRFOX88 with this method I make at least $300 in 10 hrs or less. Last night I made $377 in 10 hrs. I started with a full tank and when I was done I went to fill up and it cost me $30. Here in Chicago I average $1700 a week with this method.
@@rosendocastillo7444 I am always testing different methods I’ll try this for a day
I drive here in Chicago too.
Uber tells you exactly how long a ride is going to be now, it even shows you on the map what route you’re taking, and exactly how much you will get paid. No need for calculations anymore.
@@puccan479 There is absolutely a need for the calculation. Your rate is never consistent. You shouldn’t accept offers for less than $1.00 per mile. Then before you accept those, you should be making sure your hourly rate is going to be at least $30. If you aren’t doing that, Uber is taking advantage of your impatience. Then again, you also shouldn’t wait to earn $1.50 a mile, because those will rarely come. There is a earnings sweet spot.
Bro acceptance rate is 1% 😂😂
Keep up the hustle

Its not even that bad. I do this when doing ubereats. Gas prices are high and you want to make sure the trip is worth it. They have really bad orders. A year ago ubereats was good. I would make almost 100 dollars on 1/4 tank of gas and then working on my next 100. I have made $289 in one day working like 10 hours with breaks, and I cherry pick. but nowadays those large orders with short distances rarely come up. I remember one night I was getting back to back wendys orders for $40, two deliveries in under 30 minutes. I got 4 of those orders back to back. I made over 100 dollars in like 1 hour and a half. Bring back those days
Notice the time of trips for 20 was roughly 30 minutes. He then got a $7.50 bonus and the pay for the next 30 min trip was still roughly 20. Uber is killing us and thinks we’re stupid and can’t do simply math
I got offered $77 to take someone 2 hrs 31 mins. I declined. Did I fumble the bag?, or was that a Good skip?.
@@moondancecoffeeskip, not worth it since most likely you gotta drive back to get home + gas and dead miles

Do Uber all day and use lots of gas for 11 hours of work only 160 dollars or work 8 hour shift only five days no gas or car damage and make more 😂
i logoff on every ride! once im cruising to the pick up area! sometimes you will miss some good rides or surge by doing this but i dont like to be distracted by checking my phone and taking my eyes away from the road!! we also a group of friends and we are in constant communication to see where the bests rides and the surge areas are!! by logging off and back on i get yo pick and choose my rides not the ones Uber wants to give me!!
A lot of people don't understand the difference between slave labor and "independent contractor". We are not independent because if we reject all the orders we don't want because it does not pay, we will be off the platform. That was why the message came up after all those rejection asking "are you still online" The algorithm works by taking the amount of rejection dividing it into the number of acceptance. When the rejection rate is higher than the acceptance rate, you will be off the platform. There is no 2 ways around it. And if you call the Philippines and talk to those people who always say the same thing like a robot, there's nothing they can do about it.
I’m Uber five star Dimond drive who ever doing reputedly they’re westing there time plus there status and promotion, it will lower your acceptance rate, increase cancellations rate that is a big red flag for you, if do this every day after a while the system will luck you up with warning.

@@JamesThomas-pv5en needs to be busy looking back at this comment was probably in a busier period with surges…
The best way to keep assholes and drunks out of your car is to look at their ratings before accepting the ride. If they have anything less then a 4.74 dont pick them up. Uber has been around almost 15 years so people have been using uber for awhile now so if their asshole or unpleasant other drivers have rated them already. The uber rating system is like Yelp for passengers
Uber gives you the option (or used to) to filter by rating. I used the filter and it does not work at all. You still get low rated below your filter.
Not 15 years.
@Shark73Pool I set my rating threshold to nothing less than 4.9 and I only receive 4.90 or above. Houston area.
I cherry pick too but Damnn this cherry pick at a whole other level
Nah they are crap orders
Your cherry pick is just wrong 😮
The sitting time waiting between this "pro tip" is defeatjng jt tho. Some of you cant do basic math and think 8$ is bad trip but its a 1 mile ride but youll jump at a $30 ride for 15 miles smdh
Always stop accepting rides when you have a customer in the car. Smart man. Builds surge, and deflects bad rides.
But I’ve noticed they said my cancellation rate is high when I do that! Not sure how I’m not canceling any rides!
@@mysticnj then something isn’t done right. Definitely go offline between rides or stop requests or turn the Uber x off in your filters or preferences after you accept a ride. Should have nothing to do with cancelation rate
@@mysticnj A cancel is when you accept a ride, then hit the cancel option for that passenger. Not accepting a "ping" or ride has nothing to do with your cancel rate.
I like that idea. Bypass the crappers. Not going anywhere until you drop off, anyway!
@@Liz-ic6jb well it does for me
I leave at 4am every morning by 2pm I’m up to 270, I work at a warehouse after, I wish I could stay out longer. I usually stay in the Logan airport area in Boston, the pay is good if u don’t mind the traffic 😂👍🏻
Wow! How many hours you working in a day ?
The reality here is that they don't have much competition... if they had competition they would be fighting for who has the best acceptance rate so that uber can give them the best orders.
This guy channel is very helpful for new drivers
Thank you
You can put Uber app on your home screen so you don't have to open it from the drawer 👍🏾
I'm sure he knows but it seems he probably just didn't organize his Apps, at 8:10 you can see 3 redundant Google folders, 2 RUclips apps on a home screen. I actually keep many apps in the drawer just in case I'm going through my phone with someone present, hey they don't need to see that I like Taco Bell (once in a while) lol.
Hello, quick question… doesnt your acceptance rate goes down and it affects you? Thanks so much for the great video
it does. they will learn the hard way.
@@dreamer4413 thanks for the reply. Much appreciated
There’s no hard way to learn. Lol. You rate goes lower and lower and that’s fine. No punishment from Uber and you lose minimal benefits from their pro programs.
The alternative is accepting all the trash rides and feeling horrible while completing them. All to keep an acceptance rate above 90%. No reward for that
@@Danny-jp9mdyou don't have to worry about acceptance. Plenty of drivers with 4% to 16%
No, as long as is lower than the cancelation rate let’s say that for you to be sure cancel just one for like 10 or 12 that you accept
I do this too. I live in New Orleans during Mardi Gras season the pings don't stop and they will try to get you with the constant pings and big numbers but terrible drive time. Be patient and cherry pick the good ones. Thanks for the video 👍
I’m mad I didn’t take more advantage of Mardi Gras this year wanted to get it but that traffic looked ridiculous I can only drive night
I live in New Orleans also and you have to cherry pick to save time and make money during Mardi Gras. Traffic was madness this year. Acceptance rate horrible now due to Mardi Gras but I make money
Don’t you hate it when the demand is so high that they flood you with all the trash Uber x rides and you can’t even go offline because requests keep coming in lol😂
@@WhoDatNation13 exactly. A good acceptance rate doesn’t ensure good money. It just makes you angrier that you took all those crap rides, just to be over 90%

I was thinking the same thing. Not sure where you are in Florida Miami had to be decent but Tampa isn’t amazing
This is a good one. However, now Uber just blocks some surges and sends you $5 rides when there is a whole concert coming out. They are finding ways to cook even the app they created to get away with paying poverty wages.
Can anybody tell me what trick he’s reffing too, alls I saw was him turning down a lot of rides and ending up with 27.25 how’s this useful in any way.
Frr
Don’t cancel it 😢 just let it go it will go away if you keep doing that they will close your app because your close the order
Hi thank you so much just let it keep goin then it will cancel itself!
It makes no sense to accept an order where the distance traveled in both directions cost more than the actual pay associated with it. But rejecting it is used against the driver. It happened to me all the time. The government needs to come in and regulate this and as far as overtime pay is concerned. Anything over 44 hours in Canada is considered overtime pay. But Wilbur does not give you the hours you work it only gives you the hours you've been "online" so anything I've been doing sitting a traffic light for 44 hours. I will be contacting the ministry of labor to see about my overtime pay now that I am no longer employed with this company. It's Slave labor in plain sight Hidden by high demand ride$
Did he just work from 830a to 730p and only accept enough trips to earn $160?
You might have saved on miles but that seems like a lot of time wasted. For 11 hours of work I wouldn’t be satisfied with anything less than $350
He clearly states at the beginning of the video that his goal is to make $150, and he states Thurs. and Sun. are typically slow. And obviously he is doing it his way to accept only what he is comfortable with until he reaches that goal no matter how much time it takes.
@@beet. I heard what he “clearly stated” douche. He earned $14.50 an hour before expenses ($0.655 per mile, and he probably drove 100 miles). After expenses he earned $8.50 an hour. And we still haven’t talked about the taxes that come out of that $8.50
My personal hours are wayyy more valuable than that. If someone offered you an $8.50 per hour job cash you probably would not take it. He’s working for far less than $8.50 an hour and he thinks he is maximizing his efforts. It’s kinda sad.

Ouch!! You rejected several $40/hr trips which are too good here in the LA area (CA). I go by hourly rate with my calculations when accepting. On slow days, during prime time traffic $20+ an hour is considered ok, otherwise if I’m very picky, I’d be killing a lot of time. You had me drooling with your with your surge map. I guess we LA drivers are fucked.

Do you work early mornings
@@kmg7640 exactly. Boy do we have it shitty here, he had me crying with the rates 😆So no I don’t do early mornings because I just can’t do it as much as I would’ve liked to try. I have a chronic pain illness which doesn’t allow me to wake up early and I need hours after waking up to gain lucidity and shake away some of the pain and soreness. So I usually do 3pm or later and do anywhere between 5 and 8 hours straight. I’ve learned to calculate an hourly wage for a ride as it comes in and I think that has improved my earnings. I tend not to accept less than $20 unless it’s a very slow day or I’m in the middle of traffic that over $20/he is just not reasonable. If I average $25 an hour on weekdays I consider it a day. I’m thinking of trying to purposely drive east (with destination mode) to avoid most heavy traffic and open myself to possibility of longer distance trips. Not sure if it’s worth the gamble.

I'm a newbie as well. And was wondering the same thing.
You should have drove right to that (11 dollar) surge tag that was only 1 block away, either than that nice picking!
Anyway this is basically creating a surge by all the orders not getting filled, hopefully they don't punish you for that..algorithms be tricky and they don't tell us everything they know!
If the algorithm punishes you just switch over to Lyft. Play both sides of the coin and outsmart them.
I was thinking the same thing that's why he only make 169$ in 11h shift not looking good
I agree he should have went for that $11.
Surges aren’t created because you decline rides. If you turn Uber x off in preferences then there’s one less x driver on the map and that will force a surge.
The declined rides will just show up as trip radars for other drivers. And trust there’s a driver who will take those trash rides, unfortunately
@Baba N right! 12hrs for $169 I'm not impressed at all. 😂😂😂

Hi, how can you get the rider destination while accepting the trip?
If you dont accept the rides do you not get dinged for cancellations?
Canceling a ride after you’ve excepted, it is very different than just not accepting the ride from the get go.
You have an acceptance rate, and a cancellation rate . Ideally, you want the lowest cancellation rate because you just don’t want to accept a ride and then cancel it on the customer.
If anything, you just need to not accept a ride, that doesn’t make financial sense to you as a driver.
I don’t know about this…I made $200 in 4 and a half hours, on a Friday and Saturday night…and didn’t cherry pick…lol…I accepted every ride that popped up…to each his own though…
What market are you in Boston?
@@ozanusanmaz8839 I’m in Tuscaloosa, Alabama…I go on campus at the University of Alabama…and I get rides back to back, especially on Friday and Saturday nights…just started doing it a month ago…
I bet you ran more miles and fuel too. So you made less after cost.
Yeah, but those are also the best times to drive. Hence the fares are better than the daytime when most folks are at work… weather that’s at work at a Friday daytime or a Saturday daytime since there are a lot of people that do work, the weekends, such as retail
@@MrItalianfighter1 Nah…cuz it was short, quick rides on campus…back and forth from frat and sorority houses, and bars…
How much closer did you need to be to that $11.00 surge before you get it. Litterly looks like a mile or less, and your bonus is only $6.00 which is nearly half... wtf. Being that close you shpuld be getting atleast $9.00 / $10.00
The payments are very good 21$ 4 miles 😮 here in UK 20£ is 22 miles 😢 when I complete 100£ I have 125 miles done , is just bad. I believe in this moment is different for everybody
It's surging why bypass them and $18+ rides? Some customers will even wait not to pay the surge. Surge and drop on a dime also or in a few min. 27 min ride next one $21.49- 37 min and skips that
Yea makes no sense
Son watch and learn you have 12 hours a day to drive what he’s doing is taking only the rides that highest profit rides in the surge that’s smart
Soon as a rider is in the cancelation zone I hit rider never showed up then turn off the app drive away and get paid half lol
This just seems like time wasting to me. I see a good amount, I go. I don't wish to the request gods for the perfect ride. My day would never be over.
Grabbing high surge and short rides is good.
I don't understand, you declined like seven trips that paid the same and then finally accepted one that paid the same as a ride you declined like 15 minutes prior.
Keep pressing that X button, your rating will go down and then they'll kick you off the app. It happened too me
This is great advice. For a lot of people who don’t know the Boston market could you give some insight into what causes you to decline a 30 min ride for 20+ dollars with low mileage but accept a lower paying one?
Most likely it's because of where it takes him and 30 minutes of dead miles to return. But the main reason is you want short trips to stylay in surge area. Bang out as many surge trips as possible
30 minutes ride takes you out of your money zone
He likes it short and sweet like me
@@934rex glad to see yall learning the game, ride on!
@@adamwagner827 Not true because he accepted a 30-minute ride for $24.
Unfortunately, we don't have enough time to calculate the distance It might be helpful to know The Dollar Mile Ratio = (Fuel Cost per Gallon) / (Miles per Gallon)
Fuel Efficiency: Your vehicle has a fuel efficiency of 30 miles per gallon (MPG).
Fuel Cost: The current fuel cost is $3.00 per gallon.
Distance: You plan to drive a total of 300 miles.
Now, let's calculate the dollar mile ratio and assess profitability:
Step 1: Calculate the fuel consumption for the total distance.
Fuel consumption = Total distance / MPG
Fuel consumption = 300 miles / 30 MPG = 10 gallons
Step 2: Calculate the fuel cost for the total distance.
Fuel cost = Fuel consumption * Fuel cost per gallon
Fuel cost = 10 gallons * $3.00/gallon = $30.00
Step 3: Calculate the dollar mile ratio.
Dollar Mile Ratio = Fuel cost / Total distance
Dollar Mile Ratio = $30.00 / 300 miles = $0.10 per mile
In this example, the dollar mile ratio is $0.10 per mile. To be profitable, you would need to earn more than $0.10 per mile in revenue or earnings. If, for instance, you were driving for a ride-hailing service and earning $0.15 per mile, then your earnings would exceed the fuel cost, making it profitable.
This does not account for other expenses cell phone bill, insurance, Tire, oil change, and other maintenance fee of the vehicle.
Yes ,but You only loss the milleage that used by pickup
In San Antonio and I NEVER see offers over 10!!

It’s been over another year now since ur comment and I stay in Chicago so 10 is still a bit too low. Only if the miles are like 4 and less I’ll go. I been getting alot of shopping orders lately and those go for usually $20-$40 for me. But sometimes for 20 plus items. Takes a while

Good for you if it works, but I must tell you in a smaller market like Sioux Falls South Dakota you don’t get those trips back-and-forth like the Boston area. However, your suggestions in your video were very helpful to me however, if it had been me, I would have accepted some of those trips, especially the ones that paid $15-$20. But I see your point about the surge.
Hi friend, how do I find out the destination of the passenger? please help! thank you
We don't get surges like this anymore. It will just say surge with no description of how much the surge actually is. Its made it way harderbto cherry pick
I’ve made over 1500 trips and about to get free college tuition through Uber 🎉 but I don’t do this I just accept every trip
I live in TN, most of your $20 rides for 5 total miles even with $2 boost+ would be $7 here; unless, it’s a Uber Reservation trip, possibly $15+. Although, economy here I’m sure is cheaper than Boston so it makes a little sense why you get those offers.

Sheesh… we get about 0.70 cents per mile in the Memphis area… Boston drivers actually get paid decently.
When you say log off what do you mean log off of the Uber app. Completely or just put a stop with that red hand. Where it shows offline
Moral of the story folks; never accept trashy offers & the system will eventually have to raise the price for the better, they've got no choice but to! 😄😉👍 "Flip it, from trash to CA$H!"
Driving Sunrise to sunset with 1% acceptance rate 😂 you’re a Legend
Some of y'all are talking about passenger driving it's not the same.
Also in Miami they are capping and profiling.
As soon as you don't accept ine offer you can expect to wait for another one or be idled for 3 to 4+ hours. What they are doing is predatory. Sort of like oh so you not going? Okay then you get no more offers.
Sometimes the surge with Lyft 7 dollars and I get 3 miles ride only showing 12 dollars the total of how much I get from it ridiculous
I would be happy with dollar/mile ratio. My area of San Diego gets maybe half of that although it looks like the time spent on those drives in Boston are a lot longer.
I feel you on that lol past Camp Pendleton I make triple
It’s very strange how smaller cities offer more surge and per mile more ratio money
I saw him he didn’t take total 5miles ride for 25$ it’s crazy
I don’t even make 25 an hour in NJ
Not all miles are created equal. At first I thought the same thing. But then I saw the how many mintues it would take him. 30 to 40 mns for a few miles ain't worth it. You have to look at both miles and minutes and do quick math. No driver should be grossing less than $30/hr preferably above $40/hr but some days isn't doable but it doesn't mean you have to accept crap offers.
So your profit is .35 per mile??? In and out pays more

How did you made the whole thing red
In Southwest Florida we don't have any of those price bonuses. That's not fair
I understand we have to cherry pick but bro if you Don two 30 minutes rides for 20 that’s 40 an hour. That’s how base my rides time and pay fuck the miles
but more miles means more gas which means less profit.....
A lot of these rides I would of done and averaged $30 an hour
It would be nice if you'd explain just what you're doing pressing all these buttons.
They pay better in other markets in tucson low fares are common quests and challenges are usually low last quest 70 rides for $95, no three of three, airport rides not even above $10 for 9.5 miles.
Dollar w minute. That’s what all drivers should take.
I didn’t see the price or location when the rider requested
I do this too but you lost me when you accepted that first ride 27-28 minutes. You gotta LOCK IN big surge and then take the shortest in time & mileage rides only. When I’m in big surge, the surge $ is all I care about and the ride (the normal fare part) means little to me. The short ride is just a means to get that big dollar surge amount. That being said, I know the area and it just takes time getting around, especially in the 8 o’clock hour. Good tactic sir.

We have no surges in Miami all the new Cuban drivers keep there apps on even when they sleep at the airports.
One thing I love about nyc is we get paid for time and miles. So seating in traffic is not a problem.
People need taxis cause they are in rush in most of the cases for hospital or somewhere else. I hope we havent greedy drivers in our area and they are not lazy to work ,cause i need it taxi few many times by emergency for my kids.
You call 911 for emergency not a taxi
even tho the offers seem good, how much money can u possibly make driving a gas guzzling SUV to do rides all day
