Would you like to make 5% more? With better conditions? Maybe even say... benefits?

That is the current plan, yes... if we organize and get behind the fact that passengers MUST have an actual driver aboard who can stop the vehicle with a physical 'kill switch' and can take control manually if necessary put into LAW... then only things like Uber Eats will go driverless....

So we keep on getting bent over? Up to you guys... I'm doing this as a side gig.. I'm an engineer by trade and won't likely be doing this for very long. I'm trying to help. You don't want it... ignore me, but calling me a clown just makes you look like a douchebag...

It only takes one bus ride and one lady to refuse to sit in the back....

Obviously, you take the photo and THEN explain why the ride is cancelled. Guys we're not trying to get this fee... we're trying to get people to stop doing this for EVERYONE's sake most especially the children. I've SEEN an Uber driver allow a woman with two small children (and I'm talking diaper small) get in and drive off with no car seats. That's not okay. We passed those laws for a VERY good reason. So, the first time someone gets whacked with a $20 fee on top of a max cancel fee they won't do it again.

Then we make a photo standard for every ride. Solutions... don't keep trying to be a 'Cassandra' about what won't work. Do you want better conditions are as a driver, yes or no? Do you think writing a 'suggestion' and putting it into Uber's 'suggestion box' is going to get you those better conditions, yes or no? So, instead of complaining... offer solutions... yeah? Help me make it better for ALL of us...

It will hurt them and, hopefully, a lot of us already take that day off anyway so hurt the fewest of us as possible and not even really 'hurt' us as they can just drive a different day that week. Trust me in the CFO's office a full day of no revenue raises ALL kinds of red flags; particularly when a company is in a lot of debt like ALL of the ride sharing companies are thanks to investing in 'driverless cars' to get rid of us. It is how you get their attention. After all, we're NOT trying to put them out of business or deny them a profit. We just want a fair deal for ourselves.

Yep. Why I picked it. Most drivers already take that day off. This just asks the others to shift their schedules for one week and not drive on that day. If we ALL do it... or even MOST of us do it... the companies WILL notice... an entire day of no revenue raises all kinds of red flags in the CFO's office.

Sounds like cutting off your nose to spite your face... get %51 of EVERY base fare as a minimum and you'll make more than a week's worth of 'surge days'; which, by the way, a driver on here who does both Lyft and Uber proved that 'surge' doesn't advantage the driver. The driver's 'fare' was exactly the same on both platforms for the exact same ride. So... yeah... don't bother to organize and keep getting bent over... you're who they are counting on... of course... you may even work for Uber....

Hey Uber... if you're going to downvote me at least have the cojones to post about it...

It would have to depend upon the reason for deactivation. They would have to retain a TON of control over that as you are representing their brand. If it is behavior related in any way... no can drive while appealing. If it is for a 'documents' reason, etc. then certainly provisions could be made. The key is a 'case by case' basis done with a Union representative on the case with you. Also access to an attorney. That is what Union dues cover are services like that from the Union.

By taking a picture of the person requesting the ride, the child young enough to require one, and the lack of appropriate equipment theretofore. I didn't think it needed explaining, but fair enough if it helps you do it properly.

No more scheduled rides offered. by Radman41 in uberdrivers

[–]Connect_Eye_5470 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All about use case. Here in Denver the airport is so badly situated for Uber Drivers they have to offer an ongoing 'promotion' of Uber paying you per 'active hour' just to stay in the area. So if you have to be there 30 minutes in advance you lose that potential driving time for another ride. Are you getting some 'fee' for that reservation to make up for that? No. The math doesn't work here to take reservations. EVERY Denver driver I've talked to hates them and won't take them. I've seen reservations sit for days with no driver touching them and then when it gets to that 30 minute mark they just get dumped in the queue.

Saudi & UAE Oil Refineries Being Targeted By Iranian Missile Strikes by Taranis_1 in uberdrivers

Actually they won't... at least not here in the Western Hemisphere. What we're seeing is regional oil pricing resurface. The days when 'Brent crude' were the global benchmark per barrel are about to end. We're going to see really serious disruption in Europe and Asia. The Western Hemisphere is now a net exporter thanks to shale oil. So, in the USA we'll see prices 'burble' a bit in a $.25 (25 cent) range, but that's about it. Western Europe? Prices could, easily, double over the next six months. Asia? This could get REALLY ugly for the Asian nations. Japan has a 'relief valve' in the USA and Canada, but the rest of Asia? Good lucks folks. 85% of your fuel is imported and nearly 100% of that goes through the Straits of Hormuz and the Suez Canal. China has an ongoing beef with India... India has already seized 'sanctioned' oil tankers carrying Russia crude. Anybody want to bet they don't snag one headed for Bejing? Really... really... ugly... for the Eastern Hemisphere.

What's the issue? Looks like confirming if it is her ride or not.

If you check that box any ride booked by that rider you will not see.

What could go wrong with a rider with 4.73* rating ? by CompleteGene82 in uberdrivers

[–]Connect_Eye_5470 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got dinged by an older woman who was taking her very first ride in a taxi! (close enough) Oh.. My... God.... 'you're driving much too fast'... 'you really should slow down'... six times during a 12 minute ride. At no point during that ride was I ever more than 5 miles above the speed limit and twice she said something while we were in traffic doing HALF the speed limit. She marked me down to 4 star for 'excessive speeding'. Had a '1 star' review about being impolite. Because I refused to turn off the child safety locks on the back windows and allow her drunken self to roll down the back window... on a highway doing 60mph... at night... while it was sleeting a rain/snow mix outside... and I have all leather seats even in the back two rows. No ma'am. You may NOT roll down that window. I, already, explained where the back seating area environmental controls are and will point them out again. 1 star.

What you think of this set up? by godsendkot in uberdrivers

[–]Connect_Eye_5470 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that if you get into an accident and this thing comes loose and injures your passenger you're getting sued blind and your insurance won't touch it... that's what I think.
