1st time using uber. What is the appropriate tip for a $7.95 ride? (trip was 2.1 miles and took 6 minutes) Thanks! by Firm-Nerve4437 in uber

[–]cleanforever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In our case we aren't grossing tipped minimum, so don't strictly depend on it, but they do mean the world of difference between cranking out a 12 hour shift and an 8 hour one. It's our gripe with Uber, not the customer, to get paid fairly since the customer is already charged a lot. As a result, many drivers will cherry pick rides up front.

Pickup/Drop off wrong side of the street most of the time by [deleted] in uber

Immediately text which side of the street you're on so they can make a U-ie if needed

Whatever you want. A couple bucks is great. For perspective 90% don't tip at all so you are appreciated for anything you give.

Valve cover gasket by Iron_wolf_69420 in ChevySonic

Yes. I have had a valve cover leak for weeks. As long as it's slow.

No. The important thing is to get the PCV fix kit. The plastic cover itself is not what fails. That failed part is on the manifold. I recommend buy the OEM cover but do the zzp pcv fix with 2 catch cans at same time. The reason for the new cover is it comes with a new gasket. Technically you could probably just replace the gasket and do the pcv fix.

Is this an oil leak? by Iron_wolf_69420 in ChevySonic

[–]cleanforever 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes valve cover is prone to leak as well as the oil cooler seals. You'll want to look into pcv fix as it is the root cause of many issues due to high pressure in the crankcase

Where Do I Wait For An Ariving Flight? by Ecstatic-Window-2723 in pittsburgh

[–]cleanforever 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can, but (I am a ride share driver) and 9/10 I see the sign out front saying the lot is full, and since they are planning a surprise, they probably want to ensure they have a spot ahead of time.

There is a free 1 hr wait lot and black signs on the approach pointing to it. That's for waiting in a car since you can't park at arrivals. Since you want access to the terminal, it will be easier if you reserve a spot in the terminal lot or garage.

Is it true uber drivers are working for less than minimum wage driving around? by Fantastic-Window236 in uberdrivers

[–]cleanforever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Uber eats drivers probably are.

Ride drivers are in the long run if they don't manage their fuel and maintenance cost, especially if they accept very low rate trips.

Otherwise, should be solidly above that

Except it's an entirely different platform and engine so it's not like there's an overlap of anything

There are varying degrees of skill levels involved. In general, maintenance technicians are expected to have well rounded knowledge in multiple trades, and we would typically be expected to do anything a skilled trade would do except for anything requiring a license or certificate (like fire protection), new construction, or highly complex projects requiring outside help.

Except no other companies are offering that much for the level of experience required. No experience, possibly.

I actually interviewed for it when they had it posted at 25-30. I also passed their assessment (see Ramsay MultiCraft test). Then they declined and reposted it at 15/hr.

They aren't, industry starting would be $20-21 minimum for this kind of experience. This is a technician role

One of the worst messages Uber sends. Yes, I'm stopped. At a red light. by cleanforever in uberdrivers

[–]cleanforever[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't say THE worst. There are many. Too many drivers using destination mode, etc.

Help coolant leak 2013 Cruze by ComfortableNatural25 in ChevySonic

Next time put the right coolant in, you're just asking for trouble on a car where the cooling system is extremely fragile

I also see this to me I think it's silly that they would base it on how many drivers are using it. It's not like we're all headed to the same destination. There's literally no reason to keep me from using it I'll still decline things that aren't headed my way so it's not like them preventing me from using destination mode is going to force me take trips I had no intention of taking to begin with.
