This is the lowest paid "non-job" there is. We all would be better paid if we swept the Post Office floor.
The sad truth is that we are taking riders from the taxi drivers who are also hurting. Now there are lots of extra drivers, with about the same number of riders.
I got a rider alert and headed off to pick them up and well into the drive, they cancelled the ride. NO Cancellation FEE!
Uber policy is that as long as you have not waited over 5 minutes, or you don't wait outside for more than 5 minutes for a rider to show, you don't deserve a cancellation fee. So, wait for 4 minutes before leaving home for rides... That way, if they cancel the ride, you get some $.
I don't know how Uber can call us Partners since they:
hold all the cards
set the rules
hire surplus drivers
don't share ride information
don't pay for empty miles or return tolls.
don't pay for their impact on your cellular plan
and today, just popped up a message "saving for your retirement" Are they kidding? I thought it was april fools again...
I was in Melbourne Sat night around 130-200. I had a round trip Sturt to Melbourne and back. I got a 4.6× stackrd ping as I pulled into the original destination, sadly I couldn't take it got a 6× something shortly after. Again couldn't accept.
With Uber flooding the driver market, the odds are getting about as slim as the Florida Lottery... If you don't play, you can't win. If you play, your odds of winning go up slightly.
I sat around my house two days last week and no rides... That's 12 hours waiting on a rider. I pulled up the uber rider app and saw there were 6 other drivers sitting around too, within a couple of miles.
And I keep getting the "Are you happy driving with uber?" messages....
I am leery to respond to any of those things, but if I was kept relatively busy, yes, I would be happy.
