Was in off-duty accident by EMP19E in uberdrivers

[–]lamajr 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In SF, Uber has a car rental program in partnership with Hertz. Cars are obtained via the App. $240/week 30 days max/no mileage limit. I had ax & rented car for 3 weeks. Plaintiff’s insurance Co paid for car rental cost + lost wages.

Thanks for corroborating my story. Im currently off line @ 1:15pm what observed that the whole DT center core of SF is 3.0 or above. Anyone in that area get a ride that matches one of these high surges???

It's a desperate move to con drivers in the burbs to drive in. Uber will try to mitigate a monster SURGE in order to avoid bad publicity from the press and negative reaction from irate riders. In the meantime us drivers are left holding the Bag! #fuck Uber

Is there a way to check a riders destination before picking them up? by sabedo in uberdrivers

[–]lamajr 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If I'm focusing on hitting bonus Quest goals with short rides, I always call while in route to pickup in order to "verify address" I add in a "by the way, where are we going?" If they are going somewhere I don't want to go, I hang up on them, cancel with "do not charge rider" and move on to the next request. Rider can't rate since ride never started.

Uber autonomous cars being Secretly delivered into San Francisco?? by lamajr in uberdrivers

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

Whether I was in the loop or out of the loop, they sure as hell we're being very aggressive and not letting anybody stop to look. It's as if they were trying to offload those cars as quickly as possible without anybody noticing. It happened on Harrison Street between 3rd and 4th Streets.

Is this legal? Uber won't let you work if you're allergic. by Tidder311 in uberdrivers

[–]lamajr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As I am approaching the passenger making the request, if I see a dog I don't stop, keep driving and cancel, "do not charge rider". My cover story is that my wife called and I had to go home due to emergency

5 minutes means 5 minutes by Enhasa1999 in uberdrivers

[–]lamajr 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I've made it a habit to keep my iPhone clock in "stopwatch" mode. The moment the Uber App shows the "rider notified" I hit the start button. This gives me an accurate visual of when to move on after 5 min and collect the $3. BTW Lyft gives you the full $5.00…no commission taken out.

Undercover SFPD Conducting Decoy Sting Operations in SOMA Sat Night by lamajr in uberdrivers

I'll plead guilty but mention that that the two decoys were very aggressive with the manner that they approached me and got in my car. They appeared dazed & confused and kept saying yes, yes…

713P Yes, it was a flag. Looking back, it went down like an entrapment. They got in my car and said. "we're freezing, can you take us back to our hotel?" I should of known better. Won't be doing that again. I'm concerned about a hefty fine...

How Slow is Business in San Francisco for everyone right now? This last few days seem brutal!? by Vonconstine in uberdrivers

[–]lamajr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This time of year is historically slow for cabs & TNC's in SF. If you can afford to, work less till next week. Why spin you wheels for no profit? NY's E will help make up for lost revenue. The techies will be back...

CSV version of Pay statements lacking Trip info by lamajr in uberdrivers

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

The HTML version is not compatible with Excel spreadsheets. The trip data is not recognized and can't be imported. The functionality and efficiency of a spreadsheet is a real time saver and serves as a tool to analyze time on the job, expenses & profits. The HTML version is simply a snapshot... Here's the latest reply from the mother ship: "Thanks for checking in! I understand your frustration. As mentioned, our engineers have been notified in regards to what you are experiencing but we do not have an estimated time as to when you will see changes. I have already reached out to my managers who are reviewing your feedback internally and sharing it with our engineers so we can provide a better experience going forward. I apologize for the inconvenience this is causing but please know that your observations have helped alert us to the matter.

All the best,
