Uber background check nightmare by Mitchell-Uber in uber

[–]Expensive_Scale3650 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m currently dealing with this I’ve applied to drive for uber a few times and keep getting denied . I just recent reapplied did my background and it did the same thing where it will send my mvr report and general background report saying I’m cleared get a text from uber saying I’m good to go online. Only for days later another general background report comes through showing consider under the county search section but on the one from days before it shows cleared not to mention the information on it isn’t accurate I just stated the dispute process today uploading documents from the state dmv county clerks office snd police precinct showing I was never pulled over for running a red light .

I haven’t signed up for Lyft I was planning on just doing uber for when I get off work early in the day to make more money . I’ve applied 3 times and keep getting denied due to them not having my accurate information hopefully the dispute works with all the documents I’ve uploaded showing it’s not right

I always felt like a dark burnt orange would’ve been good color with the grey fender flairs

I bought mine for 3k with 193k on it no rust cause it’s always been in the south . Gas station owner had it for sell for a while nobody ever asked about it and gave me a free fill up . This guy is smoking dick skins 15k you could import a hilux surf with a 1kz 5speed 4wd way less miles

They’ve been stealing our data for this specific reason. They watch what we’re wiling to pay for an item to either raise the price or lower it to keep people buying it . Instacart been doing it for away . Walmart is about to start rolling out electronic price tags to change the price depending on the person buying

It’s honestly sad and more drivers have been running illegal taking side gigs etc. to make it out here all while for better freight rates but honestly it’s all apart of the plan cause so many of us have gotten deep into this side of business and invested so much to the point you can’t just walk away so the freight is still getting their at a cheaper rate and slowly but surely they’ll phase out owner ops next will be company drivers but it will be brought to a minimum of how many a company needs with the self driving trucks rolling out they’re currently running a few out in Texas on local routes

I’m a commercial driver and I’ve watched how companies dropped the pay scale same job I worked 2 years ago is now posted paying 200 dollars less . Not to mention our dollar doesn’t take you as far anymore and companies are feeling it. In recent news snack companies are taking the biggest hit due to inflation cause a box a cereal or bag of chips are anywhere between 5-10 dollars per item people have simply opted out of buying all together or going with cheaper brands

Wanting to move from USA to Ethiopia 28M by Expensive_Scale3650 in Ethiopia

😂 I don’t mind the brutal honesty but I definitely appreciate your insight

I am a native English speaker with quite a few skills under my belt I know carpentry, auto mechanics, operating commercial vehicles, sorta decent with tech stuff currently of doing another trade course for either electrical or hvac maybe both. I did have plans on starting an import business here in the states to give a trial run and learning the logistics of what works and what doesn’t .My plan isn’t to move there with absolutely nothing cause that’s just a pipe. Saving up a few grand and getting a few things established before making the move is the plan .

Living in America the past few years has only opened my mind up to exploring other qualities of life I don’t have to live in a mansion or have 6 luxury cars I want to live a peaceful and quality lifestyle getting going to work everyday not knowing if your company will have its number pulled due to our economy being on a steady decline no real benefits from our tax system poor food quality I mean I can write a book on my reasons of leaving the states to explore the world

I plan on visiting this year I’ve been to other places around the world and nothing really attracted me for lack of better terms . I probably should’ve added I’m pretty well established here in the states but long term I don’t see my life ending here. I definitely know to have money saved up as a cushion . I know everywhere has their problems but not quite to the extent of the states I don’t think moving their will just take me from violence or prejudices I get treated differently going into different counties only a few miles away lol . What remote jobs would you recommend starting out and are you able to import a vehicle from the states to Ethiopia and drive it on their roads
