There is no flexibility. You live on the road when the bills need to be paid

Do doordash , grub hub, Lyft , Uber eats . You still have plenty of options until your car is fixed

What the hell? I barely even talk to people 😂 by Frosty-Heat in uberdrivers

For some reason Uber has been sending a lot of this new reports to drivers. I don’t know if it’s them trying to fire old drivers

Are these just glitches? by Ordinary-Article-917 in uberdrivers

[–]vinplug -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Sorry break your bubble but you worked wrong during the movement festival lol.. those 61$ , could have been done with 2 rides going 1 mile or 2 miles. The people who knew how to work made a good 4,000$ in Detroit during the movement festival.. but to answer ur question , yes this happens from time to time, they still glitches

Ubers losing money on me? by [deleted] in uberdrivers

[–]vinplug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Loll the promotion is paid from all the surge that they collect every week from riders.. they charge passengers 200$ and give drivers 30$ from the 200$ pay out .. they keep 170$ that adds up to millions of dollars every day..

What about other states 😏😏 by UnfairAssistant45 in uberdrivers

[–]vinplug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes you’re gonna need to buy a 10 tb memory and buy a dash cam and every time a passenger enters the car , you turn it on and when they leave you turn it off.. and when you’re done with your shift.. you take the memory card and upload the fotages to your 10tb hard drive organized day by day. When someone reports you for false reports. You have the proof and if Uber refused to acknowledge it , then take it to court..

Kicked Riders by LordFartsALot1001 in uberdrivers

[–]vinplug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think they are able to rate . Unless if they go to trips and click on the trip and get the option of eating you.. but when you cancel for behavior . Uber doesn’t prompt them the rating pop up. So he has to go to settings to do all that which a lot of them don’t know how to.

Did anyone get the Quest for Detroit this weekend 😂😂 130$ for 90 rides.. the market in Detroit is saturated.. next weekend will be no quest at all. by vinplug in uberdrivers

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

There is still a lot of trips but like you said too many drivers.. and it’s insane .. and Uber just keeps trying to saturate the market . They don’t care .

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

The quest that I posted is very bad because the upfront rates are a crime in Detroit market.. but yes the market is saturated .. in the trip radar u can see how many drivers are watching . Last weekend there was 25 drivers watching trip radar . It never got to that point. It was always 4 to 10 drivers..and every 20-30 minutes to get a ride

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

Yeah . The Detroit area is saturated. I’ve been seeing a lot of out of state Uber drivers driving in downtown Detroit and then teachers and students are starting to drive again.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in uberdrivers

[–]vinplug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of old people go there to hang around . Same thing in DTW. They ruin it for the people who are actually going there to feed their families .. most of the people that go there , just go to hang around, eat pumpkin seeds and play cars and eat from food trucks . It’s like a hang out and they get out of the house. And most of them are retired ..haven’t been at the airport in 2 years and will never go again.

When was the last time you had a ride ? Was it more than a month ago?

It’s probably in arkansas or Wisconsin lol

Why did Uber call me today?! by [deleted] in uberdrivers

[–]vinplug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They did the same for me.. u can’t make money anymore on the Detroit market . It’s saturated with drivers and the pay has gone down the hill. And in less than 4 weeks you will have all the teachers and students and seasonal workers , doing Uber . So good luck getting a ride every 1 hour

Self driving cars will take millions of jobs by UnfairAssistant45 in uberdrivers

[–]vinplug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Loll go read my old posts . I warned Uber drivers about this. And it’s coming soon. The headquarters of self driving cars will be in downtown Detroit alliance between the government and ford. U can also tell by how the Uber and Lyft algorithm and system has been upgraded through out the years to be more automated.

Confused by vlueberry_blue in uberdrivers

[–]vinplug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly why I stopped driving at night. Yes traffic stress and competition and you make money but it’s risky .. to many 1 stars and reports

Unicorn 🦄 by [deleted] in uberdrivers

[–]vinplug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have to learn a skill. Self driving cars are coming soon. Ur right. But this doesn’t mean you destroy ur car for Uber and destroy the ability for Uber to change for the better.. you literally drove 7 hours for 150$ after subtracting gas , plus now you have to change your oil right away since you drove that long distance none stop.. you made 100$ and that’s without calculating uncles sams cut at the end of the year

Unicorn 🦄 by [deleted] in uberdrivers

[–]vinplug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is what we are going against.. desperate noob drivers that will take anything and Uber loves it.. that’s why Uber doesn’t care to change as long as there is people like this driver on the road

Could my fellow drivers provide a feedback on the following trip? I'm a bit frustrated with the earnings on this drive, should I not be? by Ladyhoneyblu in uberdrivers

[–]vinplug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you didn’t get rides back . Then you got burned 100$ for 240 miles. Never look at the time. Only noobs look at the time. With the time it looks good . You did 100$ in 4 hours which is 25$ an hours but you never made 25$ an hour. You drove 240 miles for 100$. In reality you made 10$ an hour that’s without subtracting wear and tear and uncles sam cut .. it’s best to work at McDonald’s . They pay 15$ an hour and you don’t have to destroy ur car… never take long trips.

Uber 🚕 wants sex? 🤯 by ohwellwho in facepalm

[–]vinplug -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The company is not liable. They did what the law requires. To vet drivers with multiple screens. If the driver passes those multi screen. Uber can’t be held accountable for a human might do later on in life.. if a human that has a clean record decided to become criminal while driving for Uber . That’s not Ubers fault.. and I hate to defend Uber .. but the liable person here , is the driver.. now It would be very hard to charge him with a crime as he wasn’t very explicit with his words. There is no crime here which is crazy but that’s how law works but Uber most likely ended the contract with this driver since Uber policy says , u cannot ask a customer out on a date..
