Hi Russ ❤ 🎉🎉🎉🎉 I got hired with GrubHub today
Do u still get payed for deliveries u did after u get deactivated ?
@@levigoldberg901 Yes, they pay you for the work you did. Russ
Ratio L bozzzo
🫶🏽🫶🏼🫵🏼🫵🏽🫶🏽🫶🏼 i deliver and have done all the math if we get under $32 an hour it is horrible. It’s been tough getting $10 an hour. It’s a problem
Thank you for calculating that. It’s good to know our worth. That isn’t sustainable at $10 per hour. What market are you in? It’s hard because there are always new drivers to take poorer when current drivers give up. Russ
The camera Its a little bit . Shakey... how to fix that
@@markanthonyfeble2206 You can’t. The best thing to do is move slowly. I made a cardboard inserts for my shirt pocket to help stabilize it. All the inexpensive cameras without an active stabilization feature are like this. The go pros and osmos are clearly better but also more expensive. I hope this helps. Russ
Beautiful place, Is it a park?
Yes, there are some nice parks here with plenty of room for sports, picnics, playing and hiking!
@@TheRussRyde Wow, Awesome
Multi app-ing sounds smart! Helpful video and love how the video also promotes preparation before 2025💪🏾 you always explain clearly too! Well done Russ! I’m learning from you with how you pace your presentation. Good stuff!
Thank you Majoy! Yes, it is a proven strategy ro make money despite the market. I have been torturing myself taking all orders on UberEats for a long time now, but that will end soon. I haven't seen a big increase in earnings and I suspect I'm putting a lot more miles on my car. The life of a food delivery professional! I appreciate your kind feedback on making videos too. I know there is a limit for going too fast so I'm trying to be more relaxed when sharing info. Russ
@ you are providing knowledge and that’s when TH-cam channels become more meaningful and worthwhile. You are doing a fantastic job! For a non English native speaker like me, your speed is still not a hindrance to understand your message😊
@ Thank you so much Majoy!!!
Drivers, start signing up now because you might have to wait longer than you think to be able to work and make money. I can’t wait to make the remaining videos in this critical series. What was the most impactful part of this video for you? Thanks so much for your insights, Russ. 🚙🛒💰🛍😃
😂 this was funny
@@Darcy-j3s Thank you! The life of a rideshare driver….
This was a great video Russ!! I relate with so much of what you’ve said 😂 you look like you’re just speaking right from your heart, didn’t notice you reference notes or anything.. I’m trying to work on that. I enjoyed your video, thank you!
Thank you Darcy, I think I prefer to have bullet points that I pause to remember what to address next. I am humbled how people can speak so eloquently on camera and not lose their train of thought. I have experimented with the Parrot teleprompter but it takes some practice to get used to. It helps no matter what to make the video two times. The first seems to work out my nervousness. Russ
@ I agree the bullet points or outline is very helpful. That’s my goal to not get sidetracked or have too many ums and such. I guess it’s like being an actor, have to memorize our lines if we want to keep from stumbling or losing our words. I might look into the Parrot thing. Thank you!
@@Darcy-j3s Yes, I think it is a little bit like acting too. I can tell that when I think I over express myself from what I normally act like, it doesn't look like that much watching it later. It's hard. But I will try to push myself more. I notice I say "so" "right" "go ahead". Eeee
It's really hard for me to not be extremely mad at doordash for my wrongful deactivation. A bit unhealthy type of angry.
I hear you, I felt the same way. I was livid! How dare they do this. I didn't do anything wrong. Please do reach out to Torston, the Rideshare Professor. His contact info is in the video description. He has a company that can fight for you to get reactivated and also take them to court and get money for backpay. Russ
TH-cam channel learning thru failures.
@@EmpoweredLiving70 Yes, sad but true! I am grateful I got a little better over the last several (years) videos.
Min $1/mile this order should have been at least $70
True. Using that rate we need at least $47 just to cover vehicle usage and that only leaves $23 for my time which is ridiculous. We are really getting paid out of our vehicle’s life expectancy. What do you think about that? So for my $53 I really made $6. Russ
+ gas
@@babakoosaw Yes, that is correct. I didn’t include my expenses and gas is one of those. Thank you for calling that out!! Russ
@@TheRussRyde I did pizza delivery years ago. it was fun and made good money doing it.
@@babakoosaw That us encouraging to hear! I know we can't control customers but it is nice to receive several well paying orders vs. grinding out low paying orders. But we can chose what orders we accept and hopefully there are many to choose from so we can remain busy.
I am from Chicago so I can relate to everything you’re saying. Even though my garbage routes are mostly in the suburbs so I don’t have to deal with a whole Lotta traffic, but I’ve driven in Chicago many times so yes.
@@Garbagelifeus Thank you Everett! I am not afraid of hard work but I dread wasting time in traffic. Thank you for sharing your insights on this. I appreciate you! Russ
You handled that very professionally. Good job!
@@deguinn8116 Thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoyed it and hopefully learned something too. Russ
You should have more viewers and subs! Your channel resonates to many drivers who goes through what you do, the amount of work for a pay for the trip, awww hope you get more kind tippers, it’s truly a hard work
@@MAJOYDACIA Thank you Majoy, I just need to keep improving so people are excited to watch. Russ
Hi Russ! Watching this video before I call it a night, oh wow you are working really hard there and I can imagine the feeling you have for the distance of the drive and what not, you are doing a great job sharing this on your channel
@@MAJOYDACIA Thank you SO Much Majoy!!!
Good video Russ! I’m also from Ventura county.
@@deliveringwithellen Hi Ellen, yes it is a little bit of paradise! Are you traumatized by Los Angeles too or should I toughen up? Russ
Drivers, what's your limits for taking package deliveries on Uber Eats? Have a safe and profitable day serving customers. Remember to share a kind word with the restaurant workers and brighten their day. Russ
$2 per mile, and not going to a bad area.
Those are both great ideas! Thank you, Russ
Thank you!
@@rainfireworshipdance9535 You are welcome. I’m glad to be helpful! Russ
Thanks for sharing your journey with us, Russ. As someone who’s had a TH-cam channel since 2006, can tell you that it will stretch you to your limits. Keep trying and improving!

This is exactly why am working hard to grow my channel ❤❤❤thank you for sharing bro🤗

Great advice👌👍Thanks for sharing 🎉
You are welcome Rubel. You are doing a great job on your channel! Russ
You are successful by the fact that you are bringing content that helps many, it’s all about being inspiring and motivating 💪🏾
Thank you so much. I am happy to hear it. I love helping others succeed. You do an excellent job teaching people on sales and overall being a better human being on your channel! Russ
@@TheRussRyde thanks Russ! It’s the community like this that supports each other that makes it all worth it, I agree on what you said, I can say the same for myself, I am nowhere near success like those huge TH-cam channels but we are successful every time we record a video that has so much value for one person or many. The rest is a bonus, at least for now that’s what I tell myself because I have just turned 2 months yesterday! Can you believe it!
Two months have gone by fast and you have no shortage of engaging content. Way to go, one video at a time.
@@TheRussRyde yep! It felt like it should be longer than 2 months because of how much I have grown as a content creator, when I look at my first few videos, I cringe a bit haha just can see how I was so inexperienced and nervous, I’m still learning each day but I feel like I have grown so much in a short time. Thanks also for your advice, always good to get feedback to get better💪🏾❤️😊
@@MAJOYDACIA You are welcome and thank you for helping me too!
Hi Russ! First to view and comment! 6 am Monday morning for me and busy day but happy to start with this video I can relate oh so much! Awesome!
Thank you Majoy! You are the best! Russ
@@TheRussRyde my daughter even knows Russ haha
@@MAJOYDACIA Nice! I’m curious what she thought about the Uber video. Was it too dramatic or understated. Was it reality or fantasy land.
@@TheRussRyde well as you know we live in Singapore, super safe country, it’s a good video for my teenage girls to watch to know that outside Singapore there are bad guys who can harm young girls and even mommies! So this is a content that I let them watch h to get a grip of reality outside Singapore bubble
That’s good. You can always look up news articles on how often a trafficker lures girls to take an Uber even across State lines. It’s so sad.
This was a fun but tough topic! Please let me know if you are going to start a TH-cam channel and let me know your feedback from the failures I referenced. Have a good one, Russ🎥
Watching this with my daughter Russ :-)
This is great! Thank you for educating her on the potential dangers!!! Russ
@@TheRussRyde Yes! Ive asked her to share your channel to all her friends who can learn from this and be warned, its very important for our kids to be aware to prevent being in scary situations, just terrifying to even think about what these youngsters can be exposed to if they are not warned and educated ahead of time
Check out the video description where I like info mentioned in the video.
Russ how do you feel about merchants making us doordashers confirm the order before the food is even ready this happened to me a couple of times
I guess you have to pick your battles. I understand why they do it before we leave with the food but that seems a bit much. If they are nice about it and say they are scrutinized by their company then maybe I would feel sorry for them. But if they are harsh or rude then no way. But it's good to get along with others as much as possible. But it would eventually count against us if we are "hanging out" in the restaurant for no reason and not on the road. Russ
Uber no longer allows you to or assists you once they deactivate your account. I have 5* rating and boom deactivated. After driving for a year, for a liscense plate ticket during the pandemic(2020). This was on the previous background. Absolutely insane
@@shawnhubbard160 This is demoralizing. Here’s a cut and paste from the video description for help with this. Consider seeking help from the Rideshare Professor; he is reputable and fights for drivers. Here is a cut and paste from his channel.... "Have you been Deactivated by Uber or Lyft? Let us help you. gigrocket.com/... Use coupon code HELP20 for a discount". Russ
Do we need to go inside to pick up the package or do they have to bring it down to you?
You always have to go inside and pick it up just like a regular food order. Russ
have you tried the new ones?
@@chris12x1 No, but I’ll bet they are great. I am still happily using my M5. Russ
@@TheRussRyde good to know thanks
@@chris12x1 You are welcome Chris! If you get a new one let me know what you think.
So whole foods blocks are only sent out randomly, theres not a way where you can only request whole foods routes?
@@Floyd_Steel Hi Floyd, great question! Since this video I’ve realized that I can get more of these orders in advance as I increase my tier on Amazon flex. But I don’t do the package deliveries due to my availability so that’s unlikely to happen. Russ
Awesome video! Love the message you give to your viewers, it’s all worth watching and important reminders
@@MAJOYDACIA Ha! Thank you so much Majoy. Yes, I always try to be helpful. Russ
@@TheRussRyde that’s the beauty of creating a channel that brings knowledge, life lessons and awareness😊
@@MAJOYDACIA Yes! Thank you for checking out my videos .
@@TheRussRyde of course! It’s a good channel and it’s important to share around channels like yours, it’s life saver for sure🙏
Hey Russ! This is a great topic! Omg how scary it is for parents knowing the sex traffickers out there using Uber! Omg! Great topic to share awareness Russ!
@@MAJOYDACIA Thank you Majoy! This is a terrifying topic and it is very much still happening today. Russ
@@TheRussRyde it’s very very scary! I will share this video to my viewers and make sure they also get some ideas and awareness, I have two daughters and I couldn’t imagine the vulnerability of these kids when they go for a ride to school or a friend’s house 🥹
Yes, although Singapore is likely far more safe than here. But everyone needs to realize that children could be manipulated easily. Drivers should be exceedingly alert for things that appear wrong.
@@TheRussRyde yes it’s a very safe place and this won’t happen here, but still worth talking about it so when the kids leave Singapore for holiday perhaps and we know that when we get out of this bubble, it’s a dangerous place out there with predators everywhere🥹
They no longer have a minor in the safety tab in help.
@@ricky4673 Oh no, thank you for letting me know. Hopefully there is another way you can still flag it. Hopefully Uber just relocated it somewhere because….they surely are a safety champion. Russ
What do you do when the ride is erased from your earnings?
@@ricky4673 Don’t believe their excuse that it will just show up in a day or two. I think all you can do is contact support and hopefully you also have your own screen shots to “help” them. Russ
Priceless information ❤️
@@JOHNDANIELS254 Thanks so much John!
Another great one👌
Thank you so much John!
f uber they think we are stupid cherry picking will continue 👍
Yes it will! Thank you for confirming this! Russ
How many hours to last long when you use 720p? Thank you😊
@@HaroldD.Belegolo At 1080p it records 12 hours without the IR nightvision on. So based on what I could find I think another two hours so 14 hrs max. I hope this is helpful! I love using mine even now. It’s held up well. Russ
@@TheRussRyde thank you po!.
@@HaroldD.Belegolo You are welcome!
I did my first delivery shopping today. 15 small items mostly snacks . the drive was about 12 mins to the customer. I made $25 customer tipped me well I used the plus card definitely don’t use your own card. Also when you are not sure if the item is the right one look at the last 4 digits at bottom of barcode they should match that’s when you have the right item. I think I’d rather shop than deliver food.
That is fantastic news! Thank you for the tip about the last four of the barcode. That's an insightful tip. I will use it too. That turned out to be a great shop and pay order. Thank you for letting me know! Russ
I still don't know why Doordash deactivated me!!! One day, I tried to go online, and my account was just deactivated. I filed appeals and still no response. When I called customer support, they could'nt even tell me why my account was deactivated. I guess it does'nt have to be a specific reason for Doordash to deactivate you.
That is disturbing for sure. Sorry I just saw your comment. Do check out the video description and contact the Rideshare Professor. His company is legit and can help you. His name is Torsten. Please let me know how it turns out. I know it is very angering and frustrating for you. Russ
Friends, it was such a joy to see GrubHub making real improvements to shop and pay orders. I am impressed! Please share your thoughts if you've experienced these updates too. Russ
Your video quality is very clear and smooth, what camera are you using? Also do you use any filters when editing videos?
@@RHTrickster It is an IPhone 13 mini. No filters. My normal camera is a Canon 80D or I’ll use my Osmo action camera. Thank you for asking! Russ
Oh Awesome, thanks for letting me know
I take it this was intended to be one of the new longer Shorts.
@@jorowi Yes, but it’s hard to know when they will do it. Other creators pointed out in time they will make them a longer short. Oh well! I have another one too that make public tomorrow.
@@TheRussRyde Yesterday was the official launch of the longer shorts. I've left mine unlisted until they get classified as SHorts.
@@jorowiThat’s a good idea. I won’t make any new ones until that change happens. I was so excited and eager to be ahead of the crowd.
What other kind of ridiculous messages from Uber make you livid? Why do you think "they" do this to drivers? Have a safe and profitable week. Russ PS: This is my attempt at the new longer shorts so we'll see how it all works out
The low count shopping tip was good advice, thank you. I will be starting my first day tomorrow ❤
