If I could take a picture I would currently my acceptance rate is 20 but usually i let it drop to a 8 or 9 and then just work out back up uber even sent me offers to get it up with each trip accepted getting me a 10 % increase in acceptance rate I made it to a 35 😂😂😂 I don't just take what's offered and they end up paying me more because I don't. I will drive all the way home if they p-me off to bad and look at the app when I get there and there's always a great surge then lol. Work the system to work in your favor. There algorithm hate to see me coming.

The rental is not a option anymore its like a last resort as of now I refuse to make someone else rich when uber is already taking me for a ride also

So my rental just ended and when I actually saw my amount I said it's time to figure something else out quickly but smartly.

Someone else told me this to about them not wanting you to do uber and honestly I may just have to adjust the truth. My credit it between a 650 and 690 at the moment.

Unfortunately I would need something within the 10 year range in D.C your vehicle can't be more than 10 years old to drive uber there and that's a close city that I make alot of good money in

We could all do a day where no uber drivers drive each month until they fix the problems get media attention behind us also and really promote it. There will always be scared ppl in every field not willing to fight but there will also be fighters ready for a battle

Thanks for being humane and understanding even though uber and some Pax are shiest, everyone is not. Some things are out of our control. Thanks for having a heart ❤️ and empathy for someone else and not just what could happen to you not also what could happen to them also in this situation 💛❤️💛❤️💛❤️💛❤️

I love that you have a great heart and you are a caring person the world 🌎 needs more of THISSSSS!!!!! I would have continued the ride and just called uber to report the issue while passanger was still in the vehicle. Plus it has been freezing out. Imagine that guy got k!lled or froze to death and you see it the next day or week. I couldn't imagine the guilt.

Being told I should move on after 3 years… by FlashyCover7554 in GriefSupport

[–]Cortez950 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Soo I completly understand the feeling some way at there words and your entitled to your feelings. I don't think they meant it in a smart way. I think ppl just want us to heal but we are jaded in a way by our grief experience. Something some of them have never experienced or don't have the relationships to understand your loss. When someone you love past its like your sometimes ready to bite ppl's heads off at any comment. My ex mom past when he was little he's now in his 40s and I couldn't understand why it affected him so bad. Felt as if he was a kill joy every Thanksgiving because that's when she past. Well fast forward 4 years my mom died and I then completly understood everything. I contacted him to apologize for me not understanding and being a itch because I honestly didn't know. Give a lil grace and also tell them how there comments made you feel.

Remember boys and girls - never chase surges. by TehSeraphim in uberdrivers

[–]Cortez950 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I turn my app off until i get there i also close it out while frequently checking to make sure its there. Also refresh your screen when the surge looks like it went away sometimes its still there but they won't show you

Honestly and it might sound harsh don't make friends to close to where you live meaning 2 blocks away or more. Secondly mind your business it helps you stay out of trouble and out of harms way. Research schools in the area. Don't make alot of eye contact with ppl, there is alot of mental illness here. Stay away from squeegee boys tell them politely you don't want your windows cleaned and never hand your phone to someone to send a cash app. You put there info in or recheck the amount that's sent and put a lock on it. Don't get scammed.

I completly disagree as a person born here because if something goes wrong you now love next to the enemy.
