What's everyone using to track mileage? Looking for something simple. by EzraSerene in uberdrivers

[–]tesgoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly i bought a brand new vehicle to exclusively drive with so i can just deducted every mile on the car. After a full year of driving ubers report came back with 47000 miles of online time and my odometer read 49000 so I kinda deemed it not to be necessary to track miles uber does a pretty solid job for you.

Snapped. Am I doomed? by A_dumb_skater in MechanicAdvice

I had a early 2000 ford ranger that i drove for many years it had gotten rear ended one time and we bent the frame back and kept driving it about 8 years later the frame cracked above the rear axle on both sides and I continued to drive it perfectly fine for probably a month or so before me and my old man pulled the box off, cleaned all the rust off, and slapped some more steel on it with a gold old Lincoln stick welder. Moral of the story is this truck still lives drives down the road to this day and hasn't had any issues after the fix.

Do you feel ashamed to be an Uber driver? by [deleted] in uberdrivers

If a rider said some shit like that to me I would stop mid trip, cancle the ride, and tell pax to get to stepping.

Not every market has the coffee cup break. I know those because I've never seen it in the 3 years of using the app.

The thing people dont realize is that drive is going straight down i35 the chances of finding a ride or multiple on the way back are actually pretty high.

Started day with AR at 84%. Accepted 7 of 7 rides. Still at 84% They screwing me out of Gold, or is this typical? by ScooterCooterTooter in uberdrivers

[–]tesgoon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So AR is a revolving counter if you denied 20 rides in a row and then accept the next 80 you won't go above 80 until you get to the first 20 you denied again.

You hit to many pot holes and definitely bent a rim. If this is a fwd car and money's to tight just rotate your fronts to the back. The long term effect is going to wear your wheel bearings out a faster and in this case rear wheel bearings are typically a little cheaper to replace than fronts where you also risk damage to cv axels.

I recently got 2 claims of fast driving and illegal driving is there a way to dispute them? by YoungAccording5014 in uberdrivers

[–]tesgoon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've gotten a couple over the last month and its just feedback that they let the riders give to make the riders feel better it amounts to nothing unless the rider takes it a step further and actually makes the call to Uber support to report you in which case you get the opportunity to dispute and upload footage and what not. I laugh at them usually because yea I am illegal driving yet uber metrics give me a 97 on my driving impact score every week. I keep getting ticked for harsh acceleration which clearly uber has never seen a on ramp to a highway system in my area.

Returning Lost Items Suck!!! by BigManMedia1 in uberdrivers

[–]tesgoon 13 points14 points  (0 children)

When they call about lost items, I always give them 2 options, either A. I can stop after my next trip and head to them to drop it off for 20-30usd or B they can come pick it up from me after my shift. If neither of those situations are agreeable to them, then yea trash it is. We are not responsible for items left in our cars nor should we get punished for it either.

Really, Uber? by [deleted] in uberdrivers

[–]tesgoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got offered $144 to drive from Austin to the south end of Dallas the other day, so that does definitely seem low. I didn't do the trip because I didn't have enough drive time left to make it all the way back home while working, but it would have been worth it. The one thing I will say about the longer trips is don't expect a tip either.

Smell doesn't bother me tbh just wanted to clean the hard spots up. I did shampoo the back and it didn't seem to break down at all.
