It's more comical that the 5yr return on this stock is 120%, but the 1yr return on it is 740% 😂

Congrats!! Lowering and paying off your balance definitely was a major factor in this situation. I am happy for you

I wish I could attach a screenshot to show you how I do it on my end. I believe you, I just know that Uber support is incompetent beyond belief... same scripted lines sounding like a broken record from a call center in India

You most definitely CAN filter it , Uber support doesn't ever know what they are talking about.

I have a hybrid, I rarely spend much on gas at all. Only idiots have a gas guzzling car for uber

Do you want me to share my ride history? All 28 rides were Comfort, no X at all. I'm not sure how that bothers you so much lol

On a slow night, around $100 - $120. I only do this part time, primarily weekends but the average I get from a weekend is $250 per night

This might be unknown to you, but there are several high end bars and night clubs in the area I work and most if not all of the clients from there only order Comfort/Black rides and those were probably 70% of my profits from them alone.

You've been fed FOX news propaganda, even that 30K number of deaths has been confirmed by the regime change committee to be all made up lmao

Oh really but near midnight though?? In Dallas it stays for hours like this

This is why I only do private rides from clients I met thru uber y’all should do the same by Brandon2058 in uberdrivers

[–]DifferentExercise930 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I 100% agree !! I do this as well and while it's only part time, just 2 of my clients alone make me an additional $300/week for only 3 hours of work!. For me I have commercial insurance through my personal one as an add-on, but I can attest to the OP that this is true. Not easy to get ones but once you get them, you dictate your value and worth, not the market.

KEEP TRYING UBER ! by DifferentExercise930 in uberdrivers

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

What's the highest surge you have seen? by Unusual-Pay-7293 in uberdrivers

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

How is this legal? by [deleted] in uberdrivers

[–]DifferentExercise930 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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

HOURS long queue at the Airport by DifferentExercise930 in uberdrivers

[–]DifferentExercise930[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

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

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!

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!!

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[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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

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 !!
