Thank you .im gitting more info here then the meeting tonighti pritty much thunk that most clients will b wanting to go to dallas.so i was ready to drive there .i rather stay in mckinny up to grape vine area..may be later win i see a steady number in passagers ill pick up there .but right now im still skeptical of the flow .i here anything from 6$ a ride to 30$ at the meeting they said dont thing per ride think per hour at 23$ an hour ok but i was doing per car to figure in gas millage so id still b making a profit instead free rides way i look at . i also asked about aggresive passagers after i saw some you tub i got worried .they said i decide ..lol ok ive handle customers b4 working in home depot also i no i can keep my cool i was a care giver b4 i got hurt. Still any advice if they just say speed speed ill give you bad review or take the wheel .i would firmly tell them stop or im leeting out there an calling anoth driver that fits them ..im worried that company would not agree with this an im in truble thry didnt answer that question clearly .if i drive 6 days a week an availibe all day till 7 how much avrige id be pulling in if i worked in McKinney zone or frisco zone? Is enuf to cover a lease car or is a scam just to sell cars an then u can't pay for it .?i hope its at least 100$ a week.that would help a great deal

You will learn as you go... Hard to bring up all the tough situations you gonna face. The $6 ride they brought up will be close to $3 after uber fees.
Well, you are only hoping to get at least $100 per day which average out to at least $600 a week after car payment and commission . And this could be the reason why they couldn't answer your question. McKinney area is a little slow, so good luck with your new gig cause even if we tell you otherwise, u still have to try it out for yourself :)

There is no "rule". You'll find the majority of passengers will automatically choose to ride in the back seat, however, some may wish to ride up front. Remember that an UberX trip can include parties of up to 4, in which case every seat will be used.

If you are not comfortable with a single passenger riding up front with you, you can request that they ride in the back. Some may take offense to that and rate you lower.

As for me, I prefer a solo rider to sit in the front seat. I'd rather have them in my field of vision as opposed to sitting behind me. It's also easier to have a conversation.

I'm doing research to see if I want to become a driver. Would you mind sharing some more information with me? You are welcome to send me a PM if you're more comfortable with that. (I'm new to this site so I don't even know if you can PM, but I assume so)

My questions:

What was your income for that night, before and after Uber's cut?

Would you mind sharing with me how much you normally make per week? How many hours/wk do you average, and what hours do you normally work? (I assume it's probably the 10pm-4am you mentioned)

I'd be eternally grateful for any information you could offer me. I'm looking into leasing a car from Uber, but they're so expensive, I want to make sure I can meet those payments and my personal goals. Like I said, a response via private message is fine, too. Thanks so much in advance!
