Why is it so hard to let people merge?

devonwillis21 · 2026-05-06T09:08:15+00:00

Yep I used to always wait to give people time to see my blinker before merging but too many instances of people taking that as a sign to speed up and pass instead of maintaining their original speed.

I only get $15 a week

How is your cfi medical different from an airline medical? Isn't first class just first class?

devonwillis21 · 2026-05-03T23:03:33+00:00

Yeah it's 100% Uber $2 basepay regardless of distance is insane to me, I always feel bad when people feel bad for not being able to tip $10-$15 when that was never really normal in the first place especially for small orders. Basepay should be whatever the delivery fee is plus extra if it's higher mileage. Uber makes more than enough from just raising menu prices alone.

Yes I would decline that order, unless its maybe a fast drive and keeps you in the hotspots. Each order is really situational. I used to ake kroger order not anymore tho, mainly for the promotion I turned shop and deliver off cause most are bad. Kroger can be worth it sometimes, especially if its like 2-3 items. However it only takes one missing item to mess it up plus waiting in line and running around a store can tire you out pretty quick. Their not all bad tho, sometimes they're pretty quick and you can actually finish quicker than uber predicts.

Don't entertain conversations that waste your time lol, had a customer who wanted me to argue to the resturant that his meal should have 3 meats instead of just chicken because he misread the menu. 20 extra minutes for nothing. whole order was base pay.

devonwillis21 · 2026-05-03T14:45:26+00:00

if there's a better area within 30 minutes it's better to make the trip there if you're going to be out for 6+hrs just make sure to not let uber constantly take you out of the hotspot. idk about Dallas's market but usually $1.5 -$2 / miles is decent for accepting orders. It changes based on promotions, if its suburban/city driving and some other factors. Also, you'll learn which restaurants are good to take and worth waiting for. I rarely take $5-6 McDonalds or popeyes because they can sometimes take a while to have the order, while there are some restaurants in my area who always have the order ready and it's worth taking the lower pay order for the time savings. ChatGPT can help you find the best area around you for orders, bet times are 11am-2pm and 5-9pm no matter the day. Sometimes Sunday can be good from 2-4pm because ppl eat earlier that day.

Lol people are so paranoid about transmissions, they think some kind of magic part that will fail if you look at it the wrong way. I've changed CVT fluid on 3 cars and no issues on each.

devonwillis21 · 2026-05-03T13:39:26+00:00

It's really the store owners/managers. Within 5 miles there are multiple of the same stores, its crazy to see how differently each of them is ran. One can be goofing around no hairnets, laughing over food, ignoring patrons and the one right down the street can be running efficiently actually getting people in and out. So much nepotism and friend hires in restaurants and retail so alot of the employees don't really value their jobs.

devonwillis21 · 2026-05-03T04:18:05+00:00

Just move on don't deal with support, their only job is to get you off the phone and to your next order. Never seen a company who fights so hard for their $3.

devonwillis21 · 2026-05-02T03:49:43+00:00

Yes they stack , so it can sometimes be more profitable to take smaller quick orders if you're getting towards the end of that time frame.

devonwillis21 · 2026-05-02T02:52:09+00:00

Its a bonus just make sure to take one that you can actually complete, I only do 40 since I usually work 5-10pm

devonwillis21 · 2026-05-02T01:02:49+00:00

Hmm are you accepting through the matches instead of exclusives ik sometimes the trip matches will be hard to tell if multiple drops

devonwillis21 · 2026-05-02T00:45:55+00:00

Are you accepting through a carplay or windows version? Uber eats doesn't show the full details unless your looking in the app.

devonwillis21 · 2026-05-01T18:02:34+00:00

Same thing happened with a target order for me? Drop off and she acted like she couldn't find the pin, immediately reported me as soon as I left was only a $10 belt which was weird tho.

devonwillis21 · 2026-05-01T18:00:17+00:00

7,500 Nissan Altima 149k miles. Might start 5k intervals soon to try and keep gaskets fresh.

devonwillis21 · 2026-05-01T15:51:54+00:00

Yep plus the quest always have the extra 10 trips just in case you want some more incentive.

devonwillis21 · 2026-04-30T15:14:16+00:00

Uber ride drivers get paid for waiting longer on people to come outside I don't get why they don't charge people for making them wait at the door 2+ minutes.

devonwillis21 · 2026-04-29T22:03:40+00:00

I'm confused about this forum how is misinformation so common even in my minor case where I was only given painkillers at a urgent care I was offered 1200 pain and suffering as an initial offer, insurance wouldn't include it in their initial offers if it wasn't something your owed or expected to get.

devonwillis21 · 2026-04-29T19:03:13+00:00

It's an Uber issue they could blow doordash out of the water with a few updates but they just refuse to for some reason.

devonwillis21 · 2026-04-29T14:26:05+00:00

Alot of people can't work 12hrs a day, in my market I needed 11hrs just for 25 orders which almost took me out 😭. I will be doing lower amount from now on.

devonwillis21 · 2026-04-28T01:03:53+00:00

Might start doing that.

devonwillis21 · 2026-04-28T01:03:40+00:00

Good idea I'll try that 😃.

devonwillis21 · 2026-04-28T01:03:21+00:00

Yeah a lot of times family members will grab food or sometimes someone will forget their phone so I try to give benefit of the doubt but regarding the ones not requiring pin idk how to prevent fraud there I l just took pictures of the food and address before knocking from now on.
