So you were only driving for about two months when this happened? How long ago was this? Do you remember anything suspicious about any passengers that might’ve said something to you etc.? Do you remember what your driver rating was? Did you ever get any speeding warnings? Or do you ever remember yourself speeding even though you might not have gotten any warnings as the app tracks that through GPS? Do you remember running any stop signs/red lights anything like that?

This happed about three weeks ago. The only thing I think that could have happened is that I gave a one star to a couple who were eating chips and playing gangster rap music. This was the first low rating I ever gave a rider. Maybe they called in a safety violation.

I really liked Uber and had a 4.98 rating and many many compliments on the cleanliness of my car. I always opened the door for people if I had enough time. Was super polite and accommodating if people had special needs. Helped people carry groceries up three flights of stairs, loaded wheelchairs, made unpaid stops…It’s just totally unfair.

I was told that some drivers had kids riding with them, dog hair, trash and that kind of stuff and they are still driving. Totally unfair company. Customer service agents can barely speak English.

@@gregroberts2049 yes I agree there are a lot of crappy drivers on the road still driving… A lot of this is done through an algorithm versus somebody actually looking at a case by case basis Have you looked into the rideshare professors channel as he has some sort of connections to people who help with unjust deactivation but I’m not sure on the details

So since I found out how to make rideshare work for me… That makes me a corporate patsy, huh😂 You just haven’t figured out how to use rideshare as a tool to succeed instead of using it as a main job to depend on and get frustrated when it doesn’t go your way. When you get a chance, check out my other videos and you’ll see all the other money I’m making besides Uber such as private rides adding up to about $2000 a month as well as my sales job that I throw in during the day when I’m waiting between rides making even more money Change your mindset and quit being so bitter I do appreciate you watching and your input and stay tuned for more

I appreciate your input thanks for watching

To maximize your chance of making the most money on the weekdays, you would have to work from 4 AM to 10 AM then take a break and get back at it at 2 PM to 8 PM Working between the hours of 10 AM and 2 PM. It’s pretty much a waste. On Fridays, I would do 4 AM to 10 AM then take a break and work from 6 PM to 2 AM And Sunday, you can pretty much work a straight 12 hours to 14 hours Any major shit city should be able to produce $400 a day and close to $500 on the weekend with this type of schedule and obviously you have some strategic moves to make as far as which ride you take to which cities so you don’t get stuck in between As far as McDonald’s goes, I’m not going to worry about showing up to a job like that and having somebody over my shoulder or dealing with the customers and they would never give you enough hours there anyways to make any money

@@UberDriverChat Really good response, Stefan. This comment would be great if turned into a scheduling video. Part of the issue could be you can't just return home at 10 AM if you're an hour away. So what do you do? Perhaps turn on Uber Eats and head to the nearest Albertson's or Target. Take some deliveries. I don't know. Also, I do actually get plenty of offers after 10 AM here in Irvine, they just aren't very good. Is that what you meant? The offers in this area are never good at any time, it seems. I've never done the 4AM shift, though. McDonald's is believe it or not not easy to get into right now! And if you do get in, as you said, you'll get part-time hours. I looked into this myself, so I know. You could work at two fast food places, I guess. 20+20 hours.

@@ShelterDogs If you really put your mind to it and work the most hours you can Friday Saturday and Sunday you can bring in 1200 and $1500… It’s not easy but it’s definitely doable with the right strategies which takes some time to develop In the meantime, you have to work a few extra days during the week, even though the pay not quite as much, but at least you’re filling in the gaps Somebody with half of brain working five days a week, including the weekends should be able to make some money doing rideshare, even after fuel expenses and putting a little money aside every week for taxes at the end of the year and any future major repairs on the car… yeah you’re gonna work more hours than the average job, but the flexibility and freedom is worth it to me in my opinion All you’re gonna do if you work a regular job when you get home is watch TV or surf the Internet or drink anyways so what’s the difference if you’re working a little longer instead in order for me to go back to a regular job, I would have to make at least $45 an hour and get full medical benefits like I do now where Uber reimburses me $550 a month … By the time a regular job takes taxes, there’s not gonna be much left over Most jobs you’re gonna have to commute a minimum of 30 minutes, even one hour at times so you’re still driving to an extent adding to the eight hour day God forbid if you oversleep the alarm clock and have to deal with the management telling you something or throughout the day having someone over your shoulder or dealing with the public, etc. good luck telling them you want to take a two week to one month vacation every year Hopefully you don’t have kids as you gotta go to their school functions and tell your boss you need a day off or you might not feel good and want to call in sick that day Good luck getting two jobs and working them out to where they work perfectly back-to-back so you don’t waste your time in between waiting to go to the next one

@@UberDriverChat Thank you! Lastly, I just wanted to ask about Saturday. I assume you use same exact strategy as Sunday and just work when you want and try to maximize the hours? Also, if you could choose, where is the best starting point in your view for a rideshare driver in our market? Like, who are the lucky ones to live where? If you can't choose one, then choose 3 and rank them in order. Gold, Silver, Bronze.

@@ShelterDogs Saturdays I work later into the evenings/early mornings versus Sunday. I usually stop around 8 PM or so. As far as where I start, I don’t have a specific point. I just start heading west if I’m going to the LA area and try to find rides that pay the most /… If I’m doing the San Diego route, same rules apply. On the weekends, you don’t have to be a selective as it’s pretty easy to get rides on any city you end up in just stay away from the lower end cities were troubles usually at

Thanks for watching and I appreciate your input. You don’t have to be an employee to understand that you have to make a certain amount of money in a certain amount of time for anything to be worth it. What you said is a very common response. Stay tuned as I have an in-depth video coming up comparing a full-time driver working for $1 a mile VS $4 mile.

Thanks for watching and I appreciate your input. Those are all the points that everybody brings up before they really know what’s going on in the industry and how to manage things the right way. If you spend some time watching my videos and reading the comments, all of those issues have been addressed and debunked. Thanks again and stay tuned for more!

💯 just a couple days after this incident I had another ride that I was gonna give up on and that most drivers would’ve given up on and it ended up really paying off for me so stay tuned

@@UberDriverChat keep posting great content 👌

Thanks for watching . I appreciate your input. Stay tuned for more

Every situation is different I guess… one time a ride was supposed to pay me $25 to go five minutes to pick somebody up at the crypto Arena and take them 25 minutes away and it ended up taking me an hour instead of the 25 minutes and instead of an extra $25 I got an extra 15 on top of the 25… so the ride took about 55 to 60 minutes and I got a total of $40 which was still not a bad option considering it was a short distance ..Not quite double but still a nice chunk difference for the extra time that it took… There’s been plenty of situations like that that I’ve been compensated for… on the flipside I’ve been declined for some as well, but usually it’s within only 5 to 10 minutes extra but I still try it just to see what will happen😂

Ive given up with support. They piss me off with their scripts. Ill help people out when i know im spending an extra minute out of my day... or i see their gps is a block away. I wont be a dick and make em run. But if a pax is 2 miles away, Im sorry but im getting paid per mile and estimated time (Upfront earnings) im sorry ur insurance was too dumb to put in ur address correctly.

Actually that reminds me of an old lady i had. Similar situstion she was mad i was "late". She wanted to speak to my boss because it was "unacceptable". After i told her i was hired 5 mins ago. She calmed down. But she threw her cane in my car and slammed my door. I put up with it and then explained to her im the boss. She got all happy. And i even got her to her appt 5 min faster than est. No tip lol judt a cane tossed into my car and a door slam.

Ive noticed doing the $/hr makes me run more miles. While doing the $/mile can sometimes work in my favor and give me a better return. I stopped l9oking at rides as $20,30,40,50/hr and now focus on $2, 5, 10 /mi. Its been profitable. Today i avg $35/hr and only took rides above $1.50/mi worked great

@@HenryDriverLA 😂

💯 that’s awesome… I had a similar situation a few days ago that was not nearly as much money and not a celebrity but the same type of situation you are talking about as far as keeping your cool… I’m gonna be posting a video on it here in a few days

I definitely did that… Unfortunately, she did not give me a tip because it was one of those medical transport rides… But the way I looked as it was… If Uber takes care of me great if they don’t oh well… And this situation and many others in the past, I always got compensated in addition to the trip and that particular trip paid me double… One time I was at the staple center and the ride was supposed to take 30 minutes and ended up taking an hour and I got almost double that trip as well and if I would not have called them, I wouldn’t have got anything.

Youd be surprised how many times i gone above and beyond and gone home with 0 tips

@@HenryDriverLA 💯I heard that… you win some, and you lose some I guess

Thank you for watching… Did you say that a lot of people are watching in India?

@@UberDriverChat no , Uber supports are all from India 🇮🇳

@@sting114 yes I thought so

Who gives a shit

I would not say it's wrong to take a ride if they ask. To approach them and solicit them I would use the word "unethical" I like to "plant the seed" so they bring it. I never pull up to anyone and tell them to cancel or I will cancel the ride and to pay me cash though. Some people do that and I think it's wrong.

Please explain tip baiting...thanks

Tip baiting in ride-sharing refers to when a customer promises a large tip to a driver to persuade them to accept a ride request, but then either doesn't tip at all or gives a significantly smaller tip than promised. For example, a customer might promise a $20 tip to a driver to accept a ride request to a far location, but after the ride, they either don't tip or only give $2 instead. Uber does this alot. Just UA-cam Uber tip baiting. They allow customers to steal.

@@trentgmedia Im confused, how would a customer try to persuade me to take a ride by promising a tip? I would not be talking to this customer unless I already accepted a ride and have them in the car....correct? Or are you saying if they order a ride and when I pull up they change the destination? Also how would Uber bait me when I see the ride upfront and either take it or not? What do you mean by they let the customers steal.

@@UberDriverChat Before you accept a ride or even a pickup for food, you get the beep noise, ringing noise, etc. You look at the phone, it reads 20 bucks, 40 bucks, etc, including tip. Well, you then pickup the food or person, expecting to be paid what you saw, only to later realize that you were actually paid 10 bucks. That is because Uber allows customers to alter tips, at least an hour after the trip is completed. A customer can include a 20 dollar tip in the beginning of the trip, but can then take that 20 dollar tip away, before an hour passes.

@@trentgmedia That would be for food delivery not rideshare here in SoCal. I don't do food delivery as I don't want to deal with getting out of my car or going to pick something up that is not ready or going to some crazy office or apartment complex and wasting my time... As far as rideshare in CA where Im at there is no expected tip included in the ride that are offered....anything we accept is what we get paid...then the passenger has the option to tip or not by the way stay tuned for my next video which is about a tip I got from a passenger that was very unexpected

Damn...those Tranchulas freak me out more than the rattlers🤣

I understand that I'm not an employee. I have no interest in being one either. What protections are you talking about? On top of what I already make driving, I get almost $600 a month from Uber to cover my medical coverage. What more do you expect?

Riverside is just 1 city in the Inland Empire and I would not just stay in this city as there are not enough rides to make the amount of money we want. On the weekdays I could technically stay in the "Inland Empire" which consists of many cities from Ontario - Beaumont - Hemet - Temecula - Lake Elsinore - Corona - Riverside - San Bernardino - Etc. Some of these cities I don't go to as it's hard to get rides out of the area. I do have a video where I made $400 in 1 day on a Monday working in the IE. I do feel more comfortable moving into OC/LA as well if I see decent paying rides though. On the weekends I go everywhere, even down to SD as it's pretty easy to find rides back to the LA/OC area to start finding my way back home.

I meant the county. The Solo app designates it as "Riverside." Thank you for the correction. I've never lived that way, so good to know proper way to describe the entire area as "Inland Empire."

@@ShelterDogs I've also been experimenting with South OC down to San Diego. I was down there a couple times in the last month bouncing back and forth from SD, La Jolla, Encinitas, Carlsbad, Oceanside, San Clemente, Dana Point, etc

​@@UberDriverChatI'm in Irvine. Where do you go to bounce "back and forth"? I wouldn't mind doing that. If I go to SNA, it's usually some $10 ride going to Anaheim. I could drive to Dana Point, maybe. I think Ahmed said he catches someone in San Clemente going to SD. But it's a ways to drive if I don't. ​

@@ShelterDogs No need to deadhead too far. On the weekdays Dana Point is probably not too busy to justify driving down there. I would do the coastal scenic route I call it 😂SD to OC back and forth on the weekends only. I would not take any rides during the week to the IE though as you could get stuck , I try to get out of this area until Im ready to get back. Bouncing from LA/OC/ during the week is a safe bet. Stay away from the lower income LA areas which is basically a box on the map ..... East of the 710 / South of the 10 / North of the 91 / West of the 110 Sometimes a ride that looks good might put you in an area that is hard to bounce out of.

Thanks for watching, I appreciate your input

Me too. Thanks for watching.

It was 18 hours, and I would only have been out 15 hours or so if I did not have to stop between rides to talk to my customer that I mentioned in the video that I was working on from my side business doing my sales work. If you want to count that remember I make an extra $400 from that deal that I spent the extra 3 hours on during that day. that would have been a $1000 day considering

I drive in Southern California… I live in the Riverside area and drive anywhere from the inland Empire to San Diego to Los Angeles and Orange County Hitting $500 a day consistently is definitely not easy and I don’t believe it will happen on any of the weekdays but on the weekends it is definitely possible at times I make over $400 on the weekends a day pretty consistently and the highest I’ve gotten was $450 just using the Uber app without private rides The night I did that I actually had about another hour to drive, but I was too tired and called in a night even though I drove 11 hours, I was actually out of the house in the car for about 15 to 16 hours as you have to wait between rides for the right rides to take which is what it will take to make these numbers It’s not just how much the ride pays, but also where the ride is going as you have to be strategic and take rise to certain areas that you know you will not have a problem bouncing out from Not too long ago, me and Ahmed from the channel RideXServe were chatting about getting to the $400 mark which we surpassed already and now trying to find a way to consistently hit the $500 Thanks for watching and I appreciate your input… Feel free to comment and ask questions as I made this channel to help all rideshare drivers succeed Be positive stay safe and good luck out there

$400 minimum and possibly $500 is possible on the weekends and $300 a day minimum on the weekdays if you’re willing to work a full in any major city across the United States… In other countries, I’m not sure but I chat with a lot of people from across America and the numbers alighn …. Thanks for watching and stay tuned for more

@@UberDriverChat 300 if you want to put in 12 hour days with maybe 90 min of breaks, and then gas and maintenance. Nah bruh. I did that.

@@JohnDoe-vc7bw driving 12 hours with only 90 min downtime will NOT work, that's for sure. Plenty of videos showing drivers making $400 or more consistently but to drive the 12 hours you have to be in the car 14-16 hours. No way to get back to back rides that pay the right amount of money to add up to $400 t's not for everyone that's for sure.

@@UberDriverChat Yeah because no one has an incentive to glamourize outsized gains on YT. And then, where do they live promoting those earnings? C'mon man! I live in the metro Detroit area and they literally send me messages to this day like you could be earning $25 per hour during PEAK TIME. That's what they promote. So you know at least half the people aren't making that much if that's the median. Like I said, it's possible in SoCal, sure, I'll give you that, but it's not possible in most places. 12 hours in a car to make 300 and then you still have to pay for gas and maintenance is a miserable way of life.

@@JohnDoe-vc7bw Well said

😂I got to give myself a pat on the back for that video… It’s actually my favorite… my daughter was just a little girl at that time and that was her favorite movie so I was showing her that I could do the trick 😂

@@UberDriverChat That's really neat. I came across your channel just today and I watched all your videos, many of them several times. I'm living in Las Vegas contemplating rideshare as a way to make some serious money. And multi apping it with food deliveries. Maybe. One thing at a time..

@@user-qg9fz1yl1d go for it!… I just do rideshare as I’m too lazy to get in and out of the car and pick up the food😂 not to mention I’m always worried about going in and the food not being ready and having to wait and excessive amount of time versus what the ride pays for we’re getting stuck or lost in some big apartment complex or office building that takes up too much time and I always wanna average at least $30 an hour or more whatever I’m doing From what I hear the food delivery doesn’t pay as much, but there are some people out there who say otherwise otherwise so you’ll have to find out for yourself The food delivery would only make sense to me to supplement the slow times during rideshare so for instance on Mondays through Thursdays around 10 in the morning until 2PM rideshare pretty much dies out for the most part in most areas whereas the food delivery starts kicking in due to lunchtime, etc. I don’t know, though I’m gonna try the food delivery here one day

@@UberDriverChat Thanks for replying with more useful information. I really appreciate all of your expert advise. Do you need a really expensive cell phone to do rideshare? Right now I just have a cheapo flip phone.

💯I definitely do not doubt that… Uber‘s algorithm can easily keep track of what cars we have and if they have a list of cars such as the one you drive and they give an XL ride to you as an X ride that you accept they will try to chance it to see if you take it if you show up and they have multiple people with excessive packages or luggage… in those situations it’s up to us to communicate with our passengers and ask them. What kind of ride did you order… Did you order a regular UberX with all this luggage and people or did you order an Uber XL…

@@UberDriverChat for sure that is how I found out. Customer ordered Uber x and my xl showed up and money was Uber x as passenger used an Uber voucher to pay as Uber was getting her to drive through hertz and it was a free ride for this passenger 🙃 so Uber paid my $31 for 31 miles on Uber xl...

It could be… I want to experiment and order 20 rides in different areas and tip the rider after the ride and film it and make sure he gets it on his phone right then or not If he he doesn’t get it that day keep in touch with the driver and make sure that he gets it eventually or not as I believe Uber even says in their terms of service that it could be up to 30 days before tips roll through… i’m not 100% on that but I’m pretty sure I heard it somewhere so I would have to verify it first… Obviously this will cost some money, but if we pool the money together just for the project I think that would be a good video

@@UberDriverChat yes great idea 💡 when our youtube channels blow up we can try this as we will not be driving

That’s a great point… The insurance is the most important but obviously you want to be fully legitimate with licensing as well and business entity set up

@@UberDriverChat Yes, that's true; people must also consider the consequences, especially in a big city where accidents are more common. The catchphrase is "fake it until you can make it." At this point, you need to make more money before you can afford commercial insurance. This works better where you have a larger area. I live in a midsize city about 3 hrs from Chicago, and if I give someone a ride to Chicago, I'm stuck because I can't Uber in that city.
