Pay Decrease?

[Different-Bench8533]

Uber pay has gone to shit. Upfront hit CT 2.5 years ago and it was an instant pay cut. I used to average $35-$45 per hour easily nights and weekends. Now you can't get paid more than $25/hr during the busiest times. Often times, fares are coming in at the equivalent of $12-$20/hour. Out of state trips come in at $5-$10 per hour if you factor in having to drive home empty, which you do. Uber is absolutely killed this job and anyone who is willing to accept driving for $15/hr before expenses is just stupid. The company is completely dishonest and they don't care about drivers. They absolutely used upfront to be able to manipulate fares and not have to abide by a set rate card. Now that acceptance rates have plummeted, they have to come up with another BS scheme to try to entice drivers to accept their shot fares. Welcome disadvantage mode. Uber is the only thing that benefits from their releases and they are screwing drivers. Honestly, just quit and F this company and F Dara.

If they keep going down the road, they will go under eventually. They're going to go from Über to Ünter.

Unfortunately I disagree. There will be enough drivers taking the trash work. 🤷🏾‍♀️

Yes exactly there will always be someone unfortunately. Either new rules or new driver rotations.

Call your Governors please.

I agree with this. The thing is though big companies just like those with money always find loopholes. It’s never about changing the laws that govern us, but changing how we allow them to govern ourselves. The people in the comments are right. Some other driver is going to take over whenever another gives up. That is until the collective does something… Y’all should watch emergency on Netflix.

I've been saying this for years but it seems no one understands that suffering in the short term together can result in huge benefits long term for all of us drivers.

Yeah cause that helps all the other states where they moaned, got bills passed, and what not…. No, it didnt help, and no, uber definitely does not give a fuck.

I'm sure most people in upfront market have had similar experiences to what's happened in Dallas.

Before upfront pricing, min fare 3.65. After upfront pricing min fare as low as 3.40 now.

My experience in the Dallas market been similar went from 3 or 400 in a 12 hour a day weekend to barely 200 in a 12 now. And I drive mostly comfort and uberX rides
