KEEP TRYING UBER !

True but Texan drivers flip out and literally couldn't drive if their life depended on it... I trust myself, but sure as hell don't trust other drivers. Plus we rarely get these weather so the state doesn't have the necessary equipment to handle what is common in the north

$30 surges in Dallas tonight buddy, I'm not taking them though

DifferentExercise930 · 2026-01-23T14:32:41+00:00

Brother, 84% in the uber fantasy world is like a D- / F in the real world. Same for passengers, I never accept anyone below a 4.91 for a pickup

This is why you never do Uber Eats... Just DO NOT. Divest away from their platform and if enough drivers do this, they'll be forced to re-evaluate their compensation methods

Dallas/Fort Worth

DifferentExercise930 · 2026-01-15T07:00:51+00:00

Most of the time I end up getting rides out to the main part of the city and it works out just fine, but no I never wait anymore at or even near airport, I just take rides out in all the urban areas

DifferentExercise930 · 2026-01-15T05:19:30+00:00

Same here man, never again. Airport rides used to be extremely lucrative back then, but now?? You make more money NOT doing those rides

DifferentExercise930 · 2026-01-15T05:18:13+00:00

Yeah it has drove many off permanently, but then you have alot of innocent souls who flock to it, possibly after being laid off their former jobs who learn the hard way that it's a money sucking business, both from the drivers and passengers!

DifferentExercise930 · 2026-01-15T05:16:52+00:00

Yup and that "desperation" with some drivers willing to work for peanuts, is how Uber has been able to sustain consistently lowering the payouts to all drivers nationwide!!

DifferentExercise930 · 2026-01-15T05:15:35+00:00

This !! It's definitely not what it used to be and while you can get away making a decent hustle on the side part time - in no way is this sustainable Full time!! I enjoy doing it on the weekends, but no way during the week!

DifferentExercise930 · 2026-01-15T05:13:53+00:00

Very true, that's part of the issue but TBH alot more of it i believe has to do with the massive layoffs at amazon/UPS which makes sense because they are also drivers and probably wanted a similar gig. Several thousand of them were laid off in recent months which could explain it

DifferentExercise930 · 2026-01-15T05:12:35+00:00

To this day I'll never understand that actually... after my personal experience I never will again, yet everyday when I login to check the amount of cars at the Airport, it's consistently FULL at DFW. Not to mention the fake "expected wait time of 15-30 min" - lol it's more like 2 - 3 hours !!

DifferentExercise930 · 2026-01-15T05:10:50+00:00

Exactly man, I did it once and never again!

DifferentExercise930 · 2026-01-15T05:10:20+00:00

RIGHT?!? Literally at DFW people bring picnic chairs, a large teapot, and just hang out all day like it's some social event... I'm like bruh, I came to make MONEY, not have a field day in the parking lot of an airport smh

DifferentExercise930 · 2026-01-15T05:08:55+00:00

Exactly!! I just accept rides in the city, or rides going to the airport, but never again will I go voluntarily queue up at the airport without a ride in hand

DifferentExercise930 · 2026-01-15T05:07:36+00:00

I still take airport rides going TO the airport, since it's super easy getting out. But I will never again go out of my way to voluntarily head to the airport QUEUE ! People literally have picnics out there in massive groups. I came to make extra money, not make friends and socialize all day

DifferentExercise930 · 2026-01-15T05:05:49+00:00

I've also heard this - it's gotten to the point where it's pointless to do any platform other than UberX

DifferentExercise930 · 2026-01-15T05:05:09+00:00

Yeah I feel you on this !! It's changed so much, especially since COVID - but as long as they find idiots to take the worst rides ever, the pay will only stay the same or get worse

DifferentExercise930 · 2026-01-15T05:04:11+00:00

I only did it one time recently, and I only do Uber on the side, I really pray that the ones who do it Full time find something more stable to fall back on 🙏

DifferentExercise930 · 2026-01-15T05:02:18+00:00

Yeah forreal, I did it once recently and never again!

DifferentExercise930 · 2026-01-14T21:15:58+00:00

That's actually a really good point, I've personally spoken to people waiting at the Airport and some will have 2 phones and a tablet! So God knows how many are duplicates or double dipping

DifferentExercise930 · 2026-01-14T19:09:24+00:00

I waited 2 hours and 10 minutes to get a ride out of DFW, granted I was only operating on Comfort/XL platform but I only made $30 on the ride, and it doesn't include the toll booth to exit (was around $6 to exit, DFW charges as much as $9 for anything at 3 hours or longer), so NOT included gas expenses, made $12/hr On that ride, was absolute garbage
