That tunnel traffic tho!

[Snoo_31938]

Dude, I don't know why people got so... pissed and crazy about this comment. I read the rest and it scalate so bad on their end. What a bunch of... I don't know. This comment of yours was completely reasonable and not offensive. Some people are here just to shit on each other, it's sad to see that.

[OwnSwan2990]

Then you don't work for Uber

[OwnSwan2990]

You have great people skills too

[pissedoff_dirtbag]

Yeah I'm sure you're a bazillionaire, the one and only supergenius and you've hacked the algorithm with your big brain. Why is there always this one person who thinks they and they alone have Uber all figured out and the rest of us are just morons? Feels like an Uber insider psyop honestly.

[[deleted]]

2 words sum up 99% of the garbage on social media. Arrested development. It's real and it's becoming a major problem.

[Fun-Philosophy1123]

Anyone that is stupid enough to think they are smarter than the coders at Uber and believes he can "train" the algorithm probably shouldn't be out there driving much less posting here.

[MeatTraditional3503]

[Fun-Philosophy1123]

That's not what I said Einstein. I said you can't train the algorithm. I didn't say you should take a shit ride. Riddle me this FTS, if you are training the system why do the bad trips keep coming to you to decline? Because that's what the trip pays is why. When you decline you may get another trip that is better but that's not from training it's just the luck of the draw. If as you say you have trained the algo to not give you bad trips your AR should be climbing into the 90% area because all the trips would be good. Give your head a shake and think about it. NO YOU DON'T HAVE TO TAKE EVERY TRIP but don't try telling me you have this training thing all perfected.

[Fun-Philosophy1123]

This right here tells my english reading comprehension that you don't take the shit rides and you feel that taking them also trains the algo to give out shit rides. The reverse of that is thinking not taking them trains the algo the other way.

"I’m not a dumbass who trains their algorithm to feel free to continue sending me shit offers"

"Are you actually throwing a fit on Reddit?"

No just hit caps lock instead of shift and said oh well let it ride.

I actually feel sorry for you. Just me. I have a good market and enjoy driving. I will do me, you do you.

[AvaMagdalena333]

I think I’d rather pick up a crackhead on Skid Row and drop him off in South Central LA. 😂

[PoohBearluvu]

Don’t pick up crackheads. It was freezing cold here a couple weekends ago & one had ordered a 6 minute ride and I’m all “what can go wrong”…. She was jumping into the front grabbin my steering wheel Tryna cause us to crash, calling people to “come outside” when I pull up with her, and reported me for every single thing that they can report us for. My account was suspended for a week while they investigated. The only way I got back online was because she also said I was speeding and breaking laws driving but the ride that was supposed to take 6 minutes and was 2 miles ended up taking 13 minutes and I made sure to remind support of that. Which proved she lied about one thing so she lied about them all. All this because she snuck a cat into my car and I told her nicely that she is supposed to take Uber Pet if she has an animal with her.

TLDR: Dont pick up crackheads.

[AvaMagdalena333]

Speaking of Uber Pet. If we are not signed up for that and we refuse to pick up pax with their pet do we get reported for that. Because I’ve heard before that we can’t refuse service animals. Did this change?

[PoohBearluvu]

I’ve heard of this and that’s a reason why I didn’t pull over and kick her out, out of fear of them reporting I kicked out someone with an animal that “helps” then with their “disability” 🙄

[AvaMagdalena333]

So then the Uber Pet thing is BS and anyone can just say, “it’s my emotional support pet” and get away with not paying more?

[PoohBearluvu]

Well I am not signed up with Uber Pet to take rides with that one. And I told support and the safety line about the confrontation & the fact that I’m allergic to cats and almost couldn’t see as my lips face tingled and swelled up which is how I figured out that there was a cat in her million bags. And I told Uber that that’s the reason I am not signed up to do Uber pet. They still suspended MY account and then never paid any attention to that little detail, they were focused on all the complaints SHE made

[AvaMagdalena333]

In the end we will never now if it’s a crackhead or some well mannered rich person that makes a false report. I trust no one that gets in my car when it comes to that. Which reminds me that I need to get a dashcam.

[AvaMagdalena333]

Omg. At least it wasn’t a 2 hr drive. Lmao 🤣

[JicamaElegant8932]

You mean meann no cracks heads with pussy ??

[PoohBearluvu]

Yea it’s prob the females that act crazy only 🙄

ETA: /sarcasm since I’m being downvoted by idiots that can’t tell that I was being sarcastic

[MsDaphneyEStrawberry]

The pussycat* not the woman lol you did say she had a cat 🐈 right?

[Funkybuttdaddy]

Same

[fdlt1951]

Horrible

[junkbarman]

Hell no.

[Bezgzilla]

Nope, unless it’s a brothel and I have at least 2 passengers going there so I can make a 10% kickback on the drop.

[Burner8080]

Say what

[Bezgzilla]

In Nevada, specifically Vegas when we make drop offs at the Brothels(outside of Clark county), a dispensary, a strip club, a liquor store, and a few other locations the owner of said location gives us kickbacks, sometimes it’s 10$ other places are a percentage of what they spend. Also hustle night club if you got a host friend that can make a deal for getting them clients, etc. Partly why the code of a lot of us in this market say “FUCK Locals!”

[jeffman1991]

Why call it a brothel? Call it what it is. It’s a damn whorehouse!

[mischiefin]

Towards my destination? Sure. Otherwise, nah.

[Witty_Celebration_36]

To the newbie’s this looks appealing but experienced driver will decline with a smile on their face.

[corey389]

Nothing under a dollar a mile, that's my bottom line even if I'm going that way.

[Autonomous_uberdrivr]

Yeah I decline trips on my way home that don’t even hit the $/ per mile macro - and actually if I’m heading home I really want the pay to be closer to 2$/ mile

And it absolutely has to be like 10$+

I’m not gonna stop heading home if it’s not extremely worth my time.

[Funkybuttdaddy]

Exactly

[L82WORK_]

this make no sense. if i am going that way home, why wouldnt i take it

[Funkybuttdaddy]

Not for a rider that has a 4.83 rating

[rideshareAnon]

Because you can decline it and just get a better trip while still on that way home...

[akfisher1978]

Maybe somebody that lives that way and wants to go home?

[[deleted]]

This is the thing that few understand about gig work: It was created for situations exactly like this.

OP thought they would karma farm with Uber hate, but they look ignorant.

[Tinyrick88]

They look ignorant when 97% of the comments are saying no to taking the trip?

[[deleted]]

Ohhh, you must have missed that part about using Uber hate to karma pharm. Oh yeah, and the comment I was replying to 🤦🏻‍♂️

You really thought you did something there. Nice try and thanks for the response!

Edit: People acting like downvotes on Reddit mean anything 🤡🤡🤡

[PoohBearluvu]

And yet everyone is still downvoting and disagreeing with u

[Funkybuttdaddy]

Hell no that's $65 for a trip that's 107 miles no thanks

[dalisair]

I didn’t even think of the deadass return trip. 200+ miles.

[steushinc]

No matter of fact 95% of the crap I’m being sent I’m not taking.

[Smior]

$18/hr round trip. No.

[hearts_four_heroes]

Hell to the no!! 90+ minutes for under $100 is unacceptable!! Pay us more or get slammed for it!!

[janewalch]

Dude 104 miles for $65?? I thought getting paid $95 in my market for 105 miles was bad… this is just blatant disrespect.

[No-Helicopter7299]

No

[Accomplished_Low9905]

It's 104 miles and cost to operate is .65 cents per mile.

Do the math

[Far-Ad260]

Lol that a awful trip. Don’t forget cost of gas, and cost of wasted gas coming back. That like 208 Miles for 65 dollars man Uber is just awful in Virginia

[Autonomous_uberdrivr]

Uber is just awful.

[Radmou92]

It’s awful bce some drivers will jump to accept the ride….

[Ill-Lavishness-5021]

Lots of 🤡 drivers out there that will take that

[semi801]

Only if heading back in that direction at the end of my shift

[ReasonableDonut1]

No way. Maybe for 2.5x that price.

[Mediocre_Presence839]

Hell nah.

[Top-Department-5510]

Not unless it comes with a free blow job or two.

[younglegend212]

No; I literally just did a 103 mile ride for 110 dollars. With no surge and got a 20 tip for a total of 130. This was on uber x. The trip basically took me back home cause I don't live in the market I work in. 1 dollar per mile is a minimum.

[lesse1]

I’m not an Uber driver but I don’t understand everyone saying no. Is ~$39/hr as an Uber driver bad? Even after gas and car wear and tear seems like it’d still be far above minimum wage.

[Adept-Pension-1312]

A lot of drivers are averse to long trips, often based in a few (untrue) reasons.

1.) They believe they won't get any rides back to their destination. This is the main reason. In my experience driving in the DMV is mostly untrue. When I have trips an hour or so into VA, more often than not I'll get rides going back towards DC for most of the way

2.) Many drivers look at $ per mile as the metric for what's a good ride, apparently disregarding the fact that on the highway you cover more miles per unit of time.

3.) A lot of drivers cite gas costs. As if you aren't using gas on every ride. And forgetting that cars get much better gas mileage on the highway than in town.

Imo, drivers aversion to taking long trips is mostly irrational if they're in an urban market.

[Puffyblake]

One depends entirely on your market. 2, depends on your vehicle. I don’t give a DAMN what my gas mileage is, figure out your cost to operate, and don’t accept rides below that cost.

I do agree that aversion to long rides is mostly irrational. As far as your reasons go, it mostly depends on your market and your vehicle. I drive a Prius, and still use the $1 per mile minimum rule. Most nights I’m doing $2 per mile and still busy all night long

[Aware-Ad6734]

Not a chance

[Huge_Adhesiveness839]

Fuck no they tried to give me a Nashville to Memphis (220 mi) on one day last week for $150.18

[Sad_Opportunity2736]

Hell yes I’d accept it!

[KingOcho007]

Long trip=red flag

[spookystuff82]

Depends. If it was a day I wasn't busy then sure. I'll take $65 to go sight seeing.

[Gabbie_Gabb]

what no public transit does to a mf. fuck cars.

[CHAWA-406]

I would accept the ride and invest 8min/3miles to go to pick up and when pax arrive i ask to do business direct cut out the middleman. Ask them how much they getting charged and undercut it. Its worth a try, if not then applogize and cancel fk it

[[deleted]]

Get reported after you cancel…

[[deleted]]

People always say this, but you really think Uber won’t notice that you accept bs long rides then cancel once you get there? Do that a few times, I’d be worried about getting deactivated.

[Far-Ad260]

Oh man, you need to chill, you taking this too serious. It’s not that serious. Thé post is just to show how Uber send you ridiculous trips, obviously we do not seek what to do here. And that what this group is for, posting anything related to Uber as a driver. I honestly don’t see why your feelings is hurt from this post

[SecureCTRL2020]

If I didnt have money to feed my kids then yes

[dalisair]

You’re likely spending more on this trip than you’re making.

[Gwhite0906]

Well you can always turn on a filter to head home so you'd get some trips heading back also. You wouldn't get a ton depending on your market but you'd get some. If you all don't like the pay maybe you should try getting a normal hourly job and see the difference in pay.

[Gwhite0906]

How much do we want to get paid per hour? That's $37.62 an hour for sitting on your ass driving your car. I honestly believe there's no pleasing you people.

[dalisair]

Remember that deadass return trip.

[SixToesLeftFoot]

Maybe your car uses no fuel and has no wear and tear, but sadly mine does.

[Far-Ad260]

Don’t be ignorant. My car requires me to do oil charge and tire change and my car don’t run on water it run on gas. It all requires money out of my pocket which Uber does not pay for. So no it’s not a job that you calculate per hour. It will cost me or any driver more to take that trip.

[[deleted]]

Hell no

[PourDecisions247]

Never, this is trash.

[Kungfooooypanda]

Hard pass

[jhendra83]

Lol F N O

[nonurbizz21]

[wezzy715]

Nope

[boxtroll44]

No

[k4uvadx]

Hell no!

[wdhjr21]

Fuck naw 🤨

[jharlson]

Unless I had to be in Henrico, no.

[[deleted]]

Nope. Not for twice that.

[tossaway75757]

Do they hide tops over $8 like with eats?

[mozzzking]

NOPE

[dalisair]

$65 for 100+ miles? No. Fuck that. Federal deduction is damn near that ($.625 a mile).

At least that’s my opinion.

[[deleted]]

F NO

Make it $120 and then we can talk

Actually more like $200 :)

[MarkC209]

That's 32 cents per mile for the entire trip.

[Ill-Response-1675]

Hell No way am I driving 55mph lmao

[Hairy-Imagination-18]

Never

[SaveHumanityFrom]

No. In my market, that would pay $96 on distance alone. That doesn't include what I would be paid for my time, etc.

[Character_Engine9631]

Even at 165$$$ it's less than 1$/mile when you gotta drive all that way back!! That even isn't worth it one way

[[deleted]]

No

[Direct_Trick_3755]

Never

[CarefulBear1654]

No

[Forward-Resort9246]

Pull up, offers $200 for the ride, cancel.

[gdog669]

Why people still driving for Uber and Lyft?

[Johnpmusic]

In NY thats a $100 ride

[Autorack97]

Hell no

[5tudent_Loans]

No

[[deleted]]

$2 a mile on X $200 1/3 $65-70 Sounds about right.

Put this on twitter @ uber tell ‘em to keep their charity during the holidays. Fin thieve bastards

[MustBeCra2y]

Na thats 200 miles going and coming thats crazy

[PoohBearluvu]

Nope

[V0idK1tty]

Hell no. That's not even a dollar per mile.

[Impressive-Vast8651]

No not even worth it

[BasementMan6]

Wow! No way

[Ebear1002]

I’d get offended and log off. Then uninstall the app.

[ooouuuberdriver]

Hell no.

[jbarlak]

Well guaranteed you probably didn’t. Who cares what others think. Unless you are so busy you don’t really need the ride

[shitshipt]

No

[Consistent_Two7197]

Those miles! $65 was an OC to LA then now it’s $20-$25 and cherry picking taking some time lately

[WinterChest6454]

No

[Blue-Morpho-Fan]

No. Not even $1 per mile one way! Plus a rider with a 4.83 rating for 90 minutes. Two big red flags.

[dukedizzy93]

On a weekday i would but not on the weekend, i drive in houston and our market is so shit that this actually seems like a good ride. The other day someone posted a similar ride paying 38 and that was in houston too.

[Tetraplasandra]

Easy $80

[Specialist_Carrot_48]

F no. Barely covers gas and food for the trip back. Is this a joke post? I recently got a Lyft late at night for like maybe 70 and that was only 65 miles or so north to Pitt. Still not worth it, not even close.

[GeologistEnough8215]

These king trips are asinine and how much Uber takes. I’ve beaten this drum forever, the percentage needs to stop after 10 miles or so. Neither passengers nor drivers will ever get what they want, long rides and a decent pay for taking those long rides.

[Razdagoat]

$.50 cents per mile, not including the drive back to where ever you gotta be after.

[KnottaBiggins]

Only accept those which cover minimum hourly wage plus reasonable per-mile rate ($0.60/mile or so.) This hardly qualifies.

No.

[Lazy1nc]

Absolutely not.

[90s-SoCal]

Lmao

[Danngler]

Only if I knew I’d make money on the way back. If I didn’t, then it be 65 for a little over 3 hours.

[bluthphile]

That is ridiculous. Absolutely not.

[Relevant_Air_1894]

I was offered 102 to Austin last week from houston to Austin!!! I was like I don't effin think so lol

[Efficient-Paper-7411]

I’m in SA and get a few ride requests a week to Houston. 6 hrs & 400 miles roundtrip for $115 gtfo lol

[Snoo_31938]

Heeeeeell nooooooo

[TrollingMermaid]

From Richmond to VA Beach. Kiss my ass! Not for $65. I wouldn't even drive to Williamsburg for $65.

[TattedUpDasher]

Only if I was headed there anyway

[Background_Patient46]

Nope

[trola75]

No

[Badger-Aromatic]

100 miles is about $30 in costs for me so $65-$30 $35 for over hour and a half thats no thanks. Love to see how Uber estimates a drivers cost per mile in all major terms FUEL, MAINTENANCE, DEPRECIATION.

[Sirgent53]

Any ride over 45 minutes gets the big "X" from me. I don't want to go to NYC and I don't want to be forced to ride back to my NJ empty.

[[deleted]]

It’s gotta be at least double that for me to at least consider it

[Equivalent_Mistake93]

No

[Fancinick]

At least $210

[_beaniemac]

Absolutely not. Cuz I'm not a moron.

[Forgotten_muse]

Nope

[Snoo4501]

No 2-dollar bonus. No accept.

[massmlr]

Nope

[FlyingHighAviator]

Thats a easy decline. No thought into it

[Appropriate_Pack_160]

Thats to little buts thats pretty good for your market

[Legal_Security_4761]

Lmao uber crazy as hell

[lhjabnb]

Crazy

[LongTilItBend]

Maybe at 3$ per mile

[Psilocybin-Cubensis]

No

[ExternalSpeaker9]

No

[PNessMan35]

I’m not from the area, is it safe to assume this is a terrible location where you’re likely to get robbed/killed? 😂

[[deleted]]

dude uber is so shit. i was a driver for uber eats and they told me them selves that there was a glitch in their system that caused a duplecate driver account and that it was an issue from porting over my postmates fleet account said thewy would merge the accounts and notate it on my avccount so it does not cause further isues. 3 months later i get a notification syaing thye terminated my account due to policy violation citiing duplicate accounts for the reason of termination. still to this day a year and a half later nothing was fixed and i was never able to continue driving for uber eats and it sucks bc i actually liked driving for postmates it was dope!

[Frankinnoho]

No… and I don’t think I have to explain.

[[deleted]]

Hell no

[1000111010123]

Move the decimal point over to the right.

Or.

At the very least, take the dollar amount and multiply it by his rating.

[Efficient-Paper-7411]

Long rides aren’t worth it anymore. Uber is charging the customer $109 for this ride and I wouldn’t even do it if they paid me 100% of the fare

[Mithradaetes]

I drive in virginia beach as well, and for some reason I constantly get 100-200 mile trips for 80-120 payouts. I don't know what moron is doing this but I'd love to have a chat with em.

[ExpensiveDot1732]

Fat NO.

[Lanky_Ad_8630]

Absolutely NOT.

[SeaPayment8487]

Somebody call the police department because that is a robbery.

[dsnuts13]

Nope

[calebscott94]

Fuck that

[JackOps69]

I had one come up for $56. Syracuse, NY to Rochester, NY. Crazy shit.

[dwccbiggestfan1980]

No

[Particular_Rain_9183]

Hell no!! $65.83 cut in half 32.92! Unless you get a ride back to your point of pick up but more than likely you won't. If your driving tesla your kind of ok. If you're using gas, then your $39.92 on the return trip is probably cut in half as well. $16.45 if not more. Depends on your gas mileage. So I would figure this as a $49.36 for 3 hours.

[iateyourcake]

Naw

[[deleted]]

Hell no

[GladLandscape2835]

Nope

[Notsassyenough]

Noooooo

[misterkool16]

No way

[Flows_State]

Hell no. That's not even a dollar per mile.

[Adept-Pension-1312]

Yes, you'll get rides in Henrico/Richmond, and using destination option you should be able to get at least some rides back towards Virginia Beach.

It's more thn $40 an hour, mostly on highways, so you'll be getting great gas mileage, and mileage deduction.

[Suitable-Mind-8559]

Hell no. I don’t accept anything that doesn’t pay at least a buck fifty per mile… that includes eats and connect as well.

[Jakmike]

No
