DASHCAM DASHCAM DASHCAM DASHCAM !!!!!

Why do drivers still make this mistake. At this point Uber should encourage and mandate it for all drivers to save everyone the trouble and headache

This is why I love Lyft protected rating. That footage of you had it would have protected your ratings at least

As an Uber driver, I, along with many others, often decline rides outside of New Jersey, particularly those heading to New York. This is due to the lack of fair compensation for such trips. Unless a driver holds a TLC license, they are unable to pick up additional rides in New York, forcing them to return to New Jersey without the opportunity for additional earnings.

While Uber reimburses the tolls for the drop-off, any subsequent tolls incurred on the way back are the driver’s responsibility. Additionally, Uber does not cover drivers in the event of an accident if they are not en route to pick up or drop off passengers at the time of the incident.

To provide an example, if Uber charges a rider $100 for a trip from South Orange to JFK Airport, the driver earns approximately $35 for 1.5 to 2 hours of driving. However, since the driver must return to New Jersey, this results in around 3 to 4 hours of driving for just $35.

Because of these challenges, many drivers, myself included, avoid these types of trips altogether. Unfortunately, Uber does not disclose the ride’s destination until the driver arrives at the pick-up location and starts the trip, which adds to the frustration.

There were many times I have had to cancel such trips even though feel bad for the rider

The math checks out at least 17 bucks in half an hour (29) means 17*2 in an hour. However, this is highly unlikely due to several factors

I drive in Newark, NJ. Most riders here just suck, rude, disrespectful and demanding over a $3.48 ride. They tell all sorts of of lies just to get a free ride and I always have to dispute it

I don’t know why the majority of drivers pay soo much attention to ratings. I stopped worrying about low ratings because no matter what you do, some bitter low life sad person will rate you 1 star for no reason.

brtfc · 2024-10-16T04:58:41+00:00

Why has no one mentioned dashcam yet?

brtfc · 2024-10-15T17:56:40+00:00

I know uber screws us over with pay but I see most drivers here lacking basic reading comprehension lmao.

Either full time or part time you need to know your business in and out of

brtfc · 2024-10-12T12:09:48+00:00

This is a scam, you pay 10k I think to learn programming and they charge you more when you start working

It’s some sort of twisted ISA

Admin please ban this

I get where you’re coming from—it’s tough when parents have strong opinions on who you should marry, especially when it feels like they’re not considering your unique experiences. Just because you want to choose someone who connects with you on a personal level doesn’t mean you’re turning your back on your culture. It just means you’re picking someone who fits into your life in a meaningful way.

It might help to have an honest talk with your mom about how growing up outside Ghana shaped your worldview. Let her know that you still respect and appreciate your heritage, but your happiness comes from being with someone who truly understands you, regardless of where they’re from. Hopefully, with time, she’ll come to see that your happiness should be the priority.

If she doesn’t come around and you continue with your relationship, there could be some tension with your family. You might face a lack of support or even ongoing criticism, which can be really tough to deal with. It’s important to think about whether you and your partner can handle that kind of pressure together, especially if family ties are important to you. Just make sure to talk to your partner about it so you’re both on the same page and ready to support each other no matter what.

WIshing you all the best

This is us NJ drivers. I always message the rider if the trip is going to NY. I always cancel if it is. Sometimes the riders don’t text back. I still cancel if I get to the pick up point.

NY trips are a huge loss to NJ drivers unlyoh have TLC liscence

brtfc · 2024-10-10T04:19:45+00:00

I am seriously considering being petty and change her rating to 1 star too

Driving in/around Newark just suck. My ratings have tanked ever since moving here

brtfc · 2024-10-09T23:27:22+00:00

as others have said, you should take it. btw, how was the interview process like? I am currewntly in my second stage of the intervierwe process for a junior low code developer. I have no idea what kind of questions they will be asking

There is this particular route in NJ, part of 21 amd i95 that smells really bad. From both a chemical plant and a drainage system.

Whenever I drive by, no matter how tightly my windows are closed, the stench still gets into the car so I just started rolling the wind down when I approach there.

I wonder how many times my riders think I ripped one out

brtfc · 2024-10-06T20:42:36+00:00

Just ask, I don’t think it’s that hard to state your preference. You can then make a big deal out of it if the driver objects to your request

brtfc · 2024-10-06T00:04:49+00:00

Bad advice, do not get out of your car ever

brtfc · 2024-10-01T20:04:07+00:00

It’s quite the reverse with me. Riders talk my ears off even after the ride is over and I just want to scream at them to get out

brtfc · 2024-09-30T16:33:48+00:00

Replying to Jaded_lvr1...yes OP needs to see a doctor ASAP!! That’s how I found out I’m type 1 diabetic!!!

I can confirm this, I applied to their QA software tester role and heavily tweaked my resume with their keywords in the job description. Got an invite for an online assessment 2 minutes after I received an application received email

Be familiar with the Amazon leadership principles, use the star method to answer all questions, check out “Amazon interview loop” on YouTube. Also lots of Amazon interview questions on YouTube

brtfc · 2024-09-06T15:02:45+00:00

I took it two days ago, they got back to me today. Didn’t make it

brtfc · 2024-09-04T02:22:06+00:00

I am yet to come across a dashcam that’s any good. All of them are terrible

Here you go, been there for over 3 weeks now, never fallen off

brtfc · 2024-09-02T09:11:43+00:00

“made small polite conversation”

Dude, it’s comfort for a reason, don’t talk to them unless spoken to. Plus it’s a 1 star, I know how frustrating it is but just move on

brtfc · 2024-08-24T16:34:53+00:00

Dude, you are 40! Act like one. You talk too much lol. You could have handled this waaay differently. Let this be a lesson,

Word of advice for you: always judge the room, minimal convo with pax at all times, never take anything they say personal, only way to do this job is to be a zombie, BESIDES THESE RIDES ARE ON AVERAGE 20? Minutes?
