I've never made 100 but have had a couple of days where I've made 70 per hour back in the good days when they had the streak bonuses and 300 $ ride challenges.
@@ABC-xt5by and u don't make that much because of several different reason. 1. You probably decline about 75 to 80% of every call given. 2. Could also be with safety stuff with uber. Keep in mind that if a passenger gives a rating to a driver of 3 starts or less, then u will no longer be paired with that passenger and same goes if a driver rates a passenger 3 stars or less then the driver will no longer be paired with passenger. I know this because i had a safety issue about a week ago in my city where I had to kick someone out. When i rated that passenger a 1 star i spoke with uber safety about it and in a email that they sent me they said i would no longer be paired with passenger. So remember each passenger u rate stars or less as well if a passenger does the same thing u lose more customers. Number 3. U might also not be accepting rides during busy times. For example, 4am to 8am, or 2pm to 12am. But mostly it could be because u decline each call. Remember decline a call is pointless. If u recieve a $3.50 fare for a pickup, then that means the customer probably not going far. And u can't force a customer to drive 10 to 15 miles. If where they have to go is a short trip, then u just have to deal with it. For example, i accepted a Trip back on 4/9/2024 and the fare was $3.60. I was less then a mile away to pick passenger up and the passenger wanted to be dropped off. The drop off was less then a mile. Where i live min wage is $7.25 an hour. My last job that i had before working Uber i made $10 an hour. My last job u could never work overtime at all because the company i was with always Deny the overtime. I work about 35 to 37 hours every week. My bring home pay before taxes got taken out was around $530 every 2 weeks. With uber i bring home around $680 every week. That a $150 more per week that i made. I spend $35 to $40 once every 2 days for fuel. As far as maintance goes i only pay for a oil change every 3k miles because the car is Brand New. U can make good money u just got to stop decline calls.
I made 60.00 for 4 1/2 online hours. One trip I made 13.35 and the rider added a trip back for extra 5.00 for a total of 18.35. He said he will tip but never did. I was fuming because he didn't even bother to ask me.
If this dude makes $100/hr busy day and $50/hr slow day, why doesn't he quit his job and working rideshare make $4500 a week?😂 This is propaganda for me.
He's figured out when the profitable times of the day are and he's developed long term high mileage repeat customers which speaks to his professionalism. He doesn't work the hours of the day that he loses money. 60k annual side hustle is pretty impressive.
I was making $20hr tops when the pay was good. You can only do around 3 runs an hour on average. I never did airport. It’s not possible to make $100 hour especially today’s rates. If this was true, Uber would be happy to take 100% and payout a flat $15min to all drivers.
Once Uber switches over to flat rate then all their drivers turn into about the same level of effort as you get from a McDonald's employee microwaving your food. Clearly their entire model is based on commissions. This is like saying car dealerships should just pay their sales people $X an hour "if it were true" that they were making $30+ because they'd save money. No, they'd go out of business for selling no cars.
@sergeybrin1963 obviously you think cars are free, they run on water, and mechanics and auto parts stores gives the drivers 95% discount for driving drunks around.
You would if you worked 9-5 and took the busy roads. You are not a traditional cab you can't rob people by sitting in traffic. You need to know the city and all the side roads.
i have seen it with my own eyes....the parking lot on pilot knob road. The waiting spot for airport pick ups. Thier will be cars packed in thier waiting for rides. Some for hours. I make over $25 per hour when I work at it. If they don't work and just sit and wait then yes they don't make shit.
Absolutely Laughable. What a crock of BS. Every Lyft driver needs to turn off the app for a week. You'll see how things will change quickly. If drivers are willing to drive for $20 an hour minus your expenses like gas registration, insurance tickets, parking tickets, tires, oil changes, car maintenance, then is the driver's own fault Lyft drivers, Have some dignity and respect for yourself.

Sadly they need the story for public opinion reach out to this guy and crank his incentives leading upto the interview to skew the numbers . Or all drivers in the area at the time .

💯 He probably accepts 20-30% of the rides, if I had to guess. He goes offline, drives to bonus areas (surges). He is probably averaging something like $30/hr if all the hours are added
I am making anywhere from $25 to $35 per hour and I am just learning. The drivers that are not making money are sitting at the MSP Airport waiting for airport pickups. I have driven by there a few times and they just sit there and wait for hours. So yes they aren't making good money at all.

Ask a real driver, one that has driven longer time and knows how uber and lift takes money from drivers. I know, I been driving for uber and lift since 2015 with well over 10k trips. if you understand basic mathematics. uber and lift use to take 25% and pay me 75% now they from 50% to 75% those numbers after you pay the lease of your car and gas and other expenses, are reduce. by the way I can make more than that and still is not profitable. Why you don't interview the ride share professor ?
I’m a rideshare driver of 10 years with 26,000 rides and you pick be driver who doesn’t know how to do his math and u go by what he says. We are only making $8-$13 per hour after all expenses The 2022 report had extra bonuses from Lyft and Uber coming out of the pandemic which makes the data “not accurate” because right now both companies are not paying any bonuses so it’s back to the poor house for us
You're a clown if you've been doing ride share for TEN YEARS when you barely make minimum wage "after all expenses." Like clearly you're not good at it and it's not good for you yet you lack the mental capacity to move onto something else.
How much do you think you'll be making when they leave the state? Cutting off your nose to spite your face is what you're doing. Plus the retarded and the elderly aren't going to be able to go anywhere all because you folks got greedy. Smh...
There will always be sell outs!!! Tell them to leave they have been exploiting people for years allegedly taking between 50 and 70%!!! Drivers already pay for gas, wear and tear of the vehicle, insurance, phone, phone service, their time, etc. They need an app that makes the driver the owner operator and for a reasonable fee makes the driver the sole beneficiary of all of their hard work!!!
Alright let's take a look at this 652 miles booked now let's add dead miles add 4 miles to each ride 60 that's another 240 miles soo we are looking at 900 miles that's at least 30gallons of gas times 3.30 or at least 100.00 now let's take out depreciation ( of just the vehicle miles at 18.5 cents per mile the most conservative possible 167.00 ). That's 267.00. Now maintenance and upkeep repairs tires oil changes the most conservative number is 1.10 mile remember there are things like tires oil changes and various preventive maintenance procedures at different maintenance schedules another 100.00 mow we are at 367.00 next let's subtract out ride share insurance 3.00 a week and that is conservative now its at a net minus of 370.00 from his 878 24 net 508.24 and that is by the most conservative subtraction now it shows 60 trips well I have been doing rideshare for almost 6 years that is at best 2 trips an hour soo he has got 30 hours invested in 508 dollars ( that is 16.93 an hour ). Now No health care. no holiday pay no 401k with company match no vacation pay , next the risk of an accident , damage to vehicle interior. Personal injury are all elevated , with no compensation and I happen too know the first 2 weeks of March were busy weeks the last 2 weeks of March it slows down he got lucky that happens about 40 weeks of the year drivers ate making much less than 16.93 an hour plus I noticed he is driving a Sorento with a 3rd seat capacity so that vehicle qualifies as an xl or comfort level vehicle witch pays a little better however maintenance upkeep and depreciation are higher about 8-12 % fuel economy is lower soo from the 508.24 we need to subtract 10% 37.00 witch brings us to 471.24 of real money earned after real world expenses divided by 30 hours of on the clock time witch now brings us to 15.70 an hour actually driving to ( dead miles waiting for passenger and driving passenger to drop off location ) 30 hours invested. Now there is the matter of dead time he sounds like he takes almost everything thrown at him if that's the case than he will have more dead miles to pick up location subtract another 8-12 dollars in gas LG suv's are thirsty soo he really made 462 .00 with 30 hours invested not including dead time waiting for a ride to ping which is about 25 % more time or 40 hours to make 462.00 all factors considered witch is a little over 11.00 an hour driving an xl class vehicle. Nuff said I have over 10000 rides and over 5000 food deliveries over almost 6 years I know what I am talking about. Next he talks about tax write off we all take the milage deduction but have to pay double fica that is 16% after milage deduction and does not off set no benefits by a large margin. 100 an hour ridiculous nobody makes 100 an hour its not even possible thats a flat out lie , he is showing you booked hours with does not incude drive time to the passenger and time where you are without a ride , 65000 dollars that is a lie 900.00 times 52 equals 46800 unless you incude all lyft fee's which is included at the end of the year also he is putting at least 45000 to 50000 miles a year on his car that sorento is a 40000 dollar vehicle in a low teim level to 45000.00 if you put 45000 miles a year for just two years thats 90000 miles what do you think that 40000 vehicle is going to be worth KBB value 16,672 is what it is worth that is a 23000.00 dollar loss in depreciation thats right 23000.00 not including tax title and license its worse depending on trim level of the vehicle 1 more year of driving on that vehicle and it will almost be ineligible to drive with that vehicle on the platform the cut off is 150,00 miles 23000 divided by 24 = 983.00 in depreciation per month alone , they are using the old numbers trick that these rid share companies have used time and again to fool you driving the way he does he is putting on alot of miles on that vehicle soo out of that money he earned you have to subtract at least 227.00 just for depreciation alone which is 63.00 more than originally estimated soo now we are down to 399.00 of actual profit when you factor in that vehicle being eaten up versus a regular job . LOL. Do the math before you air something like this , not to mention a 75.00 every 6000 miles oil hange and a set of tires that cost around 1200.00 per year between oil changes and a set of tires thats 1800 a year write there , 150.00 month . Do the math Channel 9 before you air something like that how about a counter point from a real driver who knows what is going on do you have the guts to air that .
Great research. Unfortunately reporters are lazy af. There is a reason why this guy has 2 jobs, wakes up at 3am and works 7 days a week 😅 Hustler for sure, but his numbers are heavily skewed
What he isn’t disclosing is the no of hours he wasn’t booked, miles he drove OFFLINE. Also he probably accepts 20-30% of the rides. Not to mention, probably around $100 in gas, oil changes every other month, tire changes, car problems, rideshare insurance, taxes, health insurance etc. Guy is a hustler for sure, but making that money as a full time driver is almost impossible unless you have no life and work 80hrs/week.
Lol it's show he is just actor, how can you make 100 per hr , uber it's self advertising that you can make 26 dollars per hour at busy times, it's just unrealistic why the rideshare company denied to provide all the details if they paying enough?
I drive for lyft. Always can I count on between 23 and 30 an hour. Never less. These drivers want to work all day even during slow times and make money. This is a great side or part time job. Should not be considered a full time job. Get real jobs .
Why should I be happy with a large corporation destroying an entire job sector and replacing it with side-hustlers? We would all rather have a Green & Whites professional taxi than a random hustler-mobile...
@@Jxzqzxv cars don't depreciate at the rate you think they do, and if you're buying a car specifically to do Uber/Lyft then you're already doing it wrong. Your car is going to depreciate whether you ride share or not, just very slightly more.
I hope you investigate hiw much Uber and Lyft are paying Minneapolis Drivers for NEMT Non Emergency Medical Transportation Rideshare trip request that have drastically elevated fees compared to a normal $16 average fare in Minneapolis and I think the community, mayor and governor would side with the drivers
I drove one hour for Uber Eats last Friday, the lunch hour. I knocked off early, later found I got a $30 tip on a $15 delivery. The customers are so awesome. So stop helping us. The Mpls City Council is captured by the taxi lobby. You'll take a trad taxi and you'll like it. If you can't make $15/hr, you're doing it wrong.
He works 4-8am, probably cherry picks a lot. Drives to surges, accepts a good ride, drop off, go offline. Drive back to bonus area. The booked hours are wrong. Add 10hrs to that which probably averages to $30-33/hr before expenses and taxes
Uber/Lyft drivers are independent contractors tax form 1099. As a independent contractor tax form 1099 you work as much as you want or work as little as you want you set your own schedule time when you want to work and when you don't want to work and if the pay isn't right you leave or find another contract/deal you don't need two weeks notice to leave/quit. Tax form 1099 is business some days you make $1k as a uber/lyft driver some days probably just $100.00 because again its business and business is based on the sole purpose of supply and demand. Uber/Lyft drivers are not tax form w2 employee base model why are uber/lyft drivers demanding to be treated like a w2 tax form conpany employee. You use your own vehicle, use your own insurance own fuel money repairs/maintenance and you have the right to refuse or accept customers as a uber/lyft driver. Uber/Lyft drivers is a secondary income not a permanent and stable source of income but good for a side job second income job because of its flexibility as an independent contractor and how rideshare operates 24/7.
Exactly. He didn’t mention any expenses which takes 60% and doesn’t account for vehicle replacement. This is what drivers always fail to foresee. His true pay is around min wage.
This is bs I work for lyft and they are evil...I just stayed up all night trying to do a challenge. Just complete 20 rides I spent all night trying and when I had 1 ride left to complete, they kicked me off because I was on for 12 hours. I ended up making $150 total...but typically I work about 10 -12 hours a day for 6 days a week to make 800$-$1000
I average 30 to 50 $ per hour depending on bonuses and the guy is right Edan Praire is a busy area with good tippers fuck this ordinance governments need to leave the gig economy alone!
This is just so wrong Driver make lot of money with Uber or Lyft. Those people that are crying for increase are those that don’t even drive for Uber or Lyft. I been driving Uber for 3 years now and I make 27 dollars an hour consistently. I really don’t know where this is all coming from, the Nurses and teachers are the ones that need an increase in wages. Most Uber drivers that I talked to makes at least 2000 a week driving 60-65 hours. Let those cry babies go somewhere and let us do our job WE NOT COMPLAINING
Mr Joseph is way wrong he is getting paid by Uber and Lyft ! I wake up at 33 am and work until 6 pm bull crap! What’s the cost to run his business! I’m not going to takes 2.53 run when it cost more to run that vehicle
He's correct and not accurate at the same time because a lot of this is based on the market of your area+ the times you do rideshare. I did it in Atlanta in 21' Friday-Sunday, and I was averaging $680, which isn't bad. I did it in an F150 as well, not even a lux vehicle. If you're signed on with Amazon Flex, then yeah, you could make more than the average person. Right now, I work flex and average $39/hr as a side job, so it adds an additional $400-$680 for me on top of my regular job. Don't knock gig work if you've never done it seriously
So this is the American dream? Working 60+ hours/ 7 days a week? I'm glad Minneapolis city council wants more for the working class. Thank you to them #MplsCityCouncil
Every morning i driver a Lyft I make 28 to 30 per hour weekends I make 30 to 35 per hour i ejoin this job so much if people don’t like go get a new job people who ejoin this job will stay driven if Lyft pay $0.89 per mile and $0.45 or $0.50 cents per minute I can make 30 to 35 or 40 per hour

Now maintenance and upkeep repairs tires oil changes the most conservative number is 1.10 mile remember there are things like tires oil changes and various preventive maintenance procedures at different maintenance schedules another 100.00 mow we are at 367.00 next let's subtract out ride share insurance 3.00 a week and that is conservative now its at a net minus of 370.00 from his 878 24 net 508.24 and that is by the most conservative subtraction now it shows 60 trips well I have been doing rideshare for almost 6 years that is at best 2 trips an hour soo he has got 30 hours invested in 508 dollars ( that is 16.93 an hour ). Now No health care. no holiday pay no 401k with company match no vacation pay , next the risk of an accident , damage to vehicle interior. Personal injury are all elevated , with no compensation and I happen too know the first 2 weeks of March were busy weeks the last 2 weeks of March it slows down he got lucky that happens about 40 weeks of the year drivers ate making much less than 16.93 an hour plus I noticed he is driving a Sorento with a 3rd seat capacity so that vehicle qualifies as an xl or comfort level vehicle witch pays a little better however maintenance upkeep and depreciation are higher about 8-12 % fuel economy is lower soo from the 508.24 we need to subtract 10% 37.00 witch brings us to 471.24 of real money earned after real world expenses divided by 30 hours of on the clock time witch now brings us to 15.70 an hour actually driving to ( dead miles waiting for passenger and driving passenger to drop off location ) 30 hours invested. Now there is the matter of dead time he sounds like he takes almost everything thrown at him if that's the case than he will have more dead miles to pick up location subtract another 8-12 dollars in gas LG suv's are thirsty soo he really made 462 .00 with 30 hours invested not including dead time waiting for a ride to ping which is about 25 % more time or 40 hours to make 462.00 all factors considered witch is a little over 11.00 an hour driving an xl class vehicle. Nuff said I have over 10000 rides and over 5000 food deliveries over almost 6 years I know what I am talking about. Next he talks about tax write off we all take the milage deduction but have to pay double fica that is 16% after milage deduction and does not off set no benefits by a large margin. 100 an hour ridiculous nobody makes 100 an hour its not even possible thats a flat out lie , he is showing you booked hours with does not incude drive time to the passenger and time where you are without a ride , 65000 dollars that is a lie 900.00 times 52 equals 46800 unless you incude all lyft fee's which is included at the end of the year also he is putting at least 45000 to 50000 miles a year on his car that sorento is a 40000 dollar vehicle in a low teim level to 45000.00 if you put 45000 miles a year for just two years thats 90000 miles what do you think that 40000 vehicle is going to be worth KBB value 16,672 is what it is worth that is a 23000.00 dollar loss in depreciation thats right 23000.00 not including tax title and license its worse depending on trim level of the vehicle 1 more year of driving on that vehicle and it will almost be ineligible to drive with that vehicle on the platform the cut off is 150,00 miles 23000 divided by 24 = 983.00 in depreciation per month alone , they are using the old numbers trick that these rid share companies have used time and again to fool you driving the way he does he is putting on alot of miles on that vehicle soo out of that money he earned you have to subtract at least 227.00 just for depreciation alone which is 63.00 more than originally estimated soo now we are down to 399.00 of actual profit when you factor in that vehicle being eaten up versus a regular job . LOL. Do the math before you air something like this , not to mention a 75.00 every 6000 miles oil hange and a set of tires that cost around 1200.00 per year between oil changes and a set of tires thats 1800 a year write there , 150.00 month . Do the math Channel 9 before you air something like that how about a counter point from a real driver who knows what is going on do you have the guts to air that .
Great research. Unfortunately reporters are lazy af. There is a reason why this guy has 2 jobs, wakes up at 3am and works 7 days a week 😅 Hustler for sure, but his numbers are heavily skewed
What he isn’t disclosing is the no of hours he wasn’t booked, miles he drove OFFLINE. Also he probably accepts 20-30% of the rides. Not to mention, probably around $100 in gas, oil changes every other month, tire changes, car problems, rideshare insurance, taxes, health insurance etc. Guy is a hustler for sure, but making that money as a full time driver is almost impossible unless you have no life and work 80hrs/week.
He said he works Sunday to Sunday
Fake news
Lol it's show he is just actor, how can you make 100 per hr , uber it's self advertising that you can make 26 dollars per hour at busy times, it's just unrealistic why the rideshare company denied to provide all the details if they paying enough?
I drive for lyft. Always can I count on between 23 and 30 an hour. Never less. These drivers want to work all day even during slow times and make money. This is a great side or part time job. Should not be considered a full time job. Get real jobs .
Learn what car depreciation is.
PATHETIC. define a real job dum dum
Why should I be happy with a large corporation destroying an entire job sector and replacing it with side-hustlers?
We would all rather have a Green & Whites professional taxi than a random hustler-mobile...
@@Jxzqzxv cars don't depreciate at the rate you think they do, and if you're buying a car specifically to do Uber/Lyft then you're already doing it wrong. Your car is going to depreciate whether you ride share or not, just very slightly more.
What's a real job in 2024?
I hope you investigate hiw much Uber and Lyft are paying Minneapolis Drivers for NEMT Non Emergency Medical Transportation Rideshare trip request that have drastically elevated fees compared to a normal $16 average fare in Minneapolis and I think the community, mayor and governor would side with the drivers
👿Big Government 👿
The way he speak its scripted. He practice before making videos. Drivers dont speak english so fluent.
Fake information sir
The news is working to help Uber and Lyft.
Crazy
He is not being honest
I drove one hour for Uber Eats last Friday, the lunch hour. I knocked off early, later found I got a $30 tip on a $15 delivery. The customers are so awesome. So stop helping us. The Mpls City Council is captured by the taxi lobby. You'll take a trad taxi and you'll like it. If you can't make $15/hr, you're doing it wrong.
He's telling a lie i do 16 hours lyft and uber and i can not make $200 so come and teach us hero i know he got paid
ruclips.net/video/G3SfgyJQjBM/видео.htmlsi=p6904Zr1TSlJ6RQx
He works 4-8am, probably cherry picks a lot. Drives to surges, accepts a good ride, drop off, go offline. Drive back to bonus area. The booked hours are wrong. Add 10hrs to that which probably averages to $30-33/hr before expenses and taxes
@@siamimam2109I start driving 3:00 am and I do 16 hours a day so the guy is telling the new a lie or maybe he's white and getting more than us 😞
@@Dahmy12he prob just has a below average to average IQ and uses it unlike some others etc
They're not getting rid of uber eats too are they?
This is a joke for me.
Fake news.
How come he makes money while both company take more than the driver it is misleading the truth
Who wants to work Sunday though Sunday. Those screenshots looks like a hundred bucks or so a day no even excluding expenses etc😂🤷🏿🤦🏿
Uber/Lyft drivers are independent contractors tax form 1099. As a independent contractor tax form 1099 you work as much as you want or work as little as you want you set your own schedule time when you want to work and when you don't want to work and if the pay isn't right you leave or find another contract/deal you don't need two weeks notice to leave/quit. Tax form 1099 is business some days you make $1k as a uber/lyft driver some days probably just $100.00 because again its business and business is based on the sole purpose of supply and demand. Uber/Lyft drivers are not tax form w2 employee base model why are uber/lyft drivers demanding to be treated like a w2 tax form conpany employee. You use your own vehicle, use your own insurance own fuel money repairs/maintenance and you have the right to refuse or accept customers as a uber/lyft driver. Uber/Lyft drivers is a secondary income not a permanent and stable source of income but good for a side job second income job because of its flexibility as an independent contractor and how rideshare operates 24/7.
Exactly. He didn’t mention any expenses which takes 60% and doesn’t account for vehicle replacement. This is what drivers always fail to foresee. His true pay is around min wage.
For me, that is Photoshop.
This is bs I work for lyft and they are evil...I just stayed up all night trying to do a challenge. Just complete 20 rides I spent all night trying and when I had 1 ride left to complete, they kicked me off because I was on for 12 hours. I ended up making $150 total...but typically I work about 10 -12 hours a day for 6 days a week to make 800$-$1000
I average 30 to 50 $ per hour depending on bonuses and the guy is right Edan Praire is a busy area with good tippers fuck this ordinance governments need to leave the gig economy alone!
This is just so wrong
Driver make lot of money with Uber or Lyft. Those people that are crying for increase are those that don’t even drive for Uber or Lyft. I been driving Uber for 3 years now and I make 27 dollars an hour consistently. I really don’t know where this is all coming from, the Nurses and teachers are the ones that need an increase in wages. Most Uber drivers that I talked to makes at least 2000 a week driving 60-65 hours.
Let those cry babies go somewhere and let us do our job
WE NOT COMPLAINING
Do simple Mathematics before your opinion.
I can’t even afford coffee doing Lyft
Mr Joseph is way wrong he is getting paid by Uber and Lyft ! I wake up at 33 am and work until 6 pm bull crap!
What’s the cost to run his business! I’m not going to takes 2.53 run when it cost more to run that vehicle
Living in the land of make believe 🤦♂️
He's correct and not accurate at the same time because a lot of this is based on the market of your area+ the times you do rideshare. I did it in Atlanta in 21' Friday-Sunday, and I was averaging $680, which isn't bad. I did it in an F150 as well, not even a lux vehicle. If you're signed on with Amazon Flex, then yeah, you could make more than the average person. Right now, I work flex and average $39/hr as a side job, so it adds an additional $400-$680 for me on top of my regular job. Don't knock gig work if you've never done it seriously
So this is the American dream? Working 60+ hours/ 7 days a week? I'm glad Minneapolis city council wants more for the working class. Thank you to them #MplsCityCouncil
Damn white men and their strong work ethic, how dare me make his own decisions on how much money he wants to make.
This is the difference betweeen a person who put some thought into it and those that sit at the airport(we know who they are don't we?).
The difference between an employee mindset and entrepreneur mindset.

Airport sitters will not make that much money. But, looking at the crowd that was crying about wages, its no secret they are not business people, but rather a bunch of crybabies who want a handout for not being able to get up early and their other poor choices.
Here go another one.
Fkn hilarious 😂Shill
