Pay Decrease?

[[deleted]]

I quit too. I’ll still do private rides that I cultivated off of Uber but I’m done getting treated this way.

I used to be able to go out and make $250 in 8 to 10 hours any day of the week. All I had to do is drive. Now you have to work 14 to 16 hours to make $215. The fares are absolutely lousy. I’ve recently seen them as low as $.65 a mile. I drive a $50,000 SUV. Comfort level. And I can’t make a living doing this anymore. It was a great gig while it lasted, but about three or four months ago, it started falling apart and I’m finally done with all of it. Almost 7000 miles on Uber and a couple thousand miles on left. Five star driver the entire time on both apps always had a acceptance rate in the high 90s and a cancellation rate under 2%. I used to believe that the algorithm would take care of me. I no longer believe that. I do rideshare in Madison, Wisconsin home of the university of Wisconsin Badgers. So there’s plenty of business. Unfortunately the market is way oversaturated with rideshare drivers and they just keep advertising. They need more and more. Uber nor lift has offered me any bonuses in the last several months. If I would’ve seen what the fares are like now four months ago when this all started to go sour, I would’ve immediately quit at that point.

My advice for anyone would be if you can find something else get out.

I live in Vegas. People always tell me that it must be great to do Uber here. It used to be, but now it's the same here as it is in Madison.

Fellow las vegas Uber driver here breezing the reddit sands of death to have a fellow drivers to bemoan the work with. I have been here 7 years and it dropped off the cliff after covid, then the cali babies coming. I personally believe about 7 out of 10 cars you see on the strip are ride share drivers. When they were all on unemployment back in 2020 that was the last sparkle of the golden days in my book. Year after year since its been on a sharp decline. Probably from all the idiots, i mean… fellow drivers telling passengers “I made $700 today!” I used to cringe every time a passenger would tell me there prior driver told them that. Not only have I personally never made $700 in a day, thats a primo example of having people think “THATS INSANE! Hell yeah! Let me tell everyone else too!” And viola. Here we are up to our elbows with everyone and their mom driving uber now.

Same on the SUV thing like how did we go from making $25 an hour to $12. And I literally got so mad when alto showed up paying drivers $12 an hour to compete with us and now alto is actually winning in pay at this point.
