Speaking from experience, the scheduled ones are usually the best ones! 100% guaranteed to get a $50+ fare as long as u wake up early. Did 2 of them this morning, walked away with $120
Two places to hang out near during slow hours - hospitals, and semi truck hubs. I've driven tons of people to their truck and from truck to home. Hospital workers and patients always need rides too
It matter what Market you're in, I live in the Inland Empire California, madness here starts at 3 AM, so here in this market you be better off working 3 am to 9 am and then working again from 3 p.m. to 9 p.m.
A timeframe no one talks about is 4 AM to 9 AM on Saturdays and Sundays. At least in my area surges are great, especially Saturdays. I think because drivers are out Friday and Saturday nights and are sleeping in.
This is a great tip. I’m looking to do this part time and have kids so don’t want to do nights but I can work 5-9am Saturday n Sunday while they’re sleeping!
Good luck with the rush hour accidents. Seen too many accidents and cars flipping over and they all happen during rush hour traffic 7am-9am and 5pm-7pm but yall go ahead and risk your life for a little change
I would like to also make a comment about the people who always talking about car depreciation, Uber is the only job or gig I know of people complain about car depreciation, if you're driving for a living are you buy equipment for any type of job or service, it has depreciation it is really silly to say that you have a 25 or $30,000 car and you worried cuz it's only going to be worth ten thousand in five years, that vehicle is now a tool to make money any tool you buy for business is going to have depreciation.
Just started uber. I bought a 2020 Tucson In may of 2020, just had my oil changed at 22,500 miles in Feb 2023 wish I could deduct those miles. People don't consider the irs milage deductions into earnings.
I drive from 9 to 12 at night, everyday, and it works well for me. At that time, traffic is not terrific, police don’t bother me, and my riders are not rushing either. I drive only in my city, avoid highway as much as I can. Although, I might make less, but it works well in long run.
@@Goodieboy 15 after gas ….. but the good thing is I stay close to my house, and drive like only 20 miles a shift. However, now they stop destination feature, and hence, I am done!
What nobody seems to discuss is clinic appointments. I believe that through the Department of Medical Assistance Services ( that's here in Virginia ), LYFT has a contract ( with Medicaid/Medicare ) to provide medical transportation. I know this because ( as a passenger) I've used LYFT for my appointments at the VA hospital. It's potentially a great way to stay busy during the weekday ( and make that weekly lease payment ). One driver who picked me up had already made twenty-two trips by the time that he'd gotten to me at 1.00 PM
Unless, you’re physically fit to help someone at times, and have patience. This is driving with passengers. Nobody’s in a rush. So, I’m guessing that man, was a young man. 22 trips, before 1. Well, when did he start the trips? That’s important to know in this scenario. Either way, that man made bank, regularly, before 6 o’clock (6:00pm).
The longest I've had to wait at anytime of the day was 20 minutes! Most days I have to hit last ride to get gas, go to the restroom or get a drink/bite to eat. I'm busy whenever I drive and I've been driving for 5 and a half years!
my payout in may $5200.00 and that was driving an average of 45 to 50 hours per week normally I drive 45 to 60 hours a week, drive a car with high mpg you can make money, and as he says you need to know the best time to drive I live in the Inland Empire California, Monday through Friday I drive 3 a.m. till 8 or 9 a.m. then I come back in the evening and I drive from about 4 to 8 p.m. Friday morning I'm a drive until 7 a.m. I don't drive Saturday morning so I can prepare myself for a long Saturday night, I do not drive on Sunday that is my day off, Friday nights in Monday morning I always make sure I'm at Ontario Airport, Uber takes common-sense to make money for example you going to work the airport in your area check the arrival schedule, you want trip to the airport be in the housing areas of high-income families between 3 a.m. and 5 a.m it takes knowledge common sense to make money with Uber I am a 12-year taxi driver so some of this stuff I already knew going in.
I’m about to start uber/lyft soon here in NY. Specifically Long Island. So i will find out myself how my area works. But i think your tips apply. I think i will do 5am to 9am weekdays for commuters. Then perhaps do food delivery during lunch 12 to 2pm. Then back to ride share to catch commuters coming home from 4 to 8pm during the weekdays. And then weekends like you mentioned starting later at around 9am or 10 for a few hrs and then do evenings for the bar crowds Friday & Saturday night 6pm to 1am? Guess I’ll learn along the way.
@@radamesreyes4509 I kinda disagree. Uber & Lyft are a convenient side hustle for an artist such as myself. To get a TLC license seems like a hassle in comparison. I am sure it works for some, but the ease of just bouncing around btwn uber, lyft & other ride sharing & delivery apps seems much easier to me.
Interesting but I disagree with some of your suggested time and especially with the ride bonuses. Uber and Lyft deploy their bonuses. streaks based on different criteria. Rush hour does bring more ride opportunities BUT because most of the ride a driver might get will be spent sitting in traffic and we know we make the money per mile, not per minute. Every market has a different scheme for BEST driving times but this video is off.
Tuesday dinner time right now in N Phoenix. I got one good 'drink' order and 6 orders for $3.50 or $4.00 and I declined the bad ones. I went home. 1 delivery only !!! Not a normal thing.
Another comment if you all don't mind, don't forget to track your Miles when you're driving for Uber Lyft or any app service, your mileage are tax-deductible, also you might want to consider getting yourself an LLC, and making yourself an employee and depositing your money in the business account why, so when you go to finance something you can show those payouts as an actual job, cuz most things that sell goods and services finance will not recognize uber income.
That is fking retarded (no one who is geneticly retarded cares unless you stress it) LLC means you pay an employee tax on yourself. 'self employed' is an option, I made $80000 last year as an employee, when I got hit and ran it was easy to get a lease showing them 5 days of earnings as self employed.
The longest I have ever had to sit and wait for a ride on Uber is about 5 min. Otherwise, I've got my next run before the one I'm on is done and that is any time of day.
In my area of South Florida. Uber eats always busy but pay is lowwww. For rideshare, never see any surges, by the airport they will send a message for those peek flight times, personally those times are swimming with drivers so I go the opposite way, since everyone is by airport they are not driving local, and therefore I go that way. I'm done driving in traffic, rush hour makes me wanna stab my eyes out with a pencil eraser so I won't be driving the time from 4am-9am n 3pm-7pm but again driving in traffic, hot as hell in 99degrees,with the blaring sun in my eyes for what 3$nope not for me
The best time to drive rideshare is never. Stop all driver abuse don't drive Rideshare ever. It's a total scam to drive rideshare. Uber and Lyft don't care about you or your safety or your car or the pay in the gutter. If you want criminals in your cars go for it.
Perfect. Everyone listen, and learn. I'll add, where you live determines your income, live in a rural area like I do...your gonna drive ALL over the place to make $$$.
I drive in the Dallas area and it's very busy and stress free. My last real job put me in the hospital, because of stress. I had 2 tiers of management above me and the job only paid 57k. I make 1600 a week with Uber and I can work anytime I want. You can't beat that.
I’ve been doing this for 4 1/2 years when I first started I got tons of bonuses. I get absolutely nothing now surge is nonexistent and bonuses. Well they don’t exist at all anymore every once in a while, I will see the surge on there, but no bonuses whatsoever.
i do uber eats here in honolulu, but looks like UBER dont pay the surge to ubereats drivers anymore, everytime i got a surge attach to me and once i got a request its always not there anymore, example i got 7 bucks surge, then ill get a 5 bucks delivery request, the surge is not getting added anymore, thats why i dont care for it anymore cause its no longer legit
In Dallas we use to make $20 to $25 an hour with Uber eats. I quit because the pay dropped to $15 and they sent an email the other day saying you can make up yo $13 an hour lol I dont think so.
Everything you said I done and I'm still not making money at cherry pick for the past 2 years and now I do not get requests Have been 2 weeks I've been working with Uber and lift and the only money I made was 0 I put in over 70 hours to 80 hours just to check it out and now I do not make money cherry picking Today is Friday the day after fourth for July I've been online for the past 6 hours and haven't made a dime I'm from Philadelphia I've been driving for Uber And Lyft for the past 5 years If somebody can help me out and tell me how I can make money Driving for Uber and lyft.. Thank you
I joined Lyft last Thursday. Started in the afternoon 3pm. I finished 4 rides at 5pm. I made $26.41 with $5.00 tips. I estimated I spent $7.00 for gas. That means I made $19.41 for 4 trips and that represented $4.85 per trip. I really got discouraged! what did I do wrong? Any comments? I don't think that is worth it?!
you have to play the system right if you want to make a good wage. Figure out where and when the surges are. 3pm on a thursday is a good time to have a streak going but not a good time to start a streak. There are lots of drivers out at that time. If you really want to make the big bucks you need to work hours others arent willing to work, otherwise the roads are saturated, and you are taking left over rides that no one wants to take. Airport rides early in the morning when most are sleeping for example. And decline rides that dont pay you more dollars than minutes.
I like doing weekends. weekdays at night is kind of a struggle better on friday nights. I drive in the suburbs here in NJ. the pickups are all over the place. some ppl go to Newark, Jersey City, East Orange, Irvington, Paterson mainly urban towns. A couple to Newark Liberty once I went to JFK ppl paid $90 or some go over to NY two sunday nights in a row, I did drop offs in the bronx. but once I cross state lines, I have to deadhead back to NJ the app kicks me off since I dont have credentials to drive in NY state.
Uber drivers are being ripped off with up front pricing when I used to take somebody 50 miles I made $50 now they're offering 25 ... If you can't get a surcharge it's not worth taking a ride!!!!! Lyft pays better for the time being
Anytime should be good . The problem is Uber/Lyft let too many people come on the platform. Veteran drivers shouldn't have to go far away or drive in certain hours . If they need drivers in those areas and or hours then design the app so the app will only go online at those locations and it hours for newbies. I've been driving 6 years and I know people need to go places at all hours . There are just too many drivers!
I drive Monday thru Friday in Philly area, northeast, New Jersey..I drive from 8:15am till about 1pm. My goal each day is to make $100 a day. Dose anyone have any tips for me?
Hey , the rideshare guy, just started driving for uber/lyft. I am allergic to cigarette/tobacco. How do i handle this as 2 or 3 of 10 riders either like to stop smoking before entering my car, not to even mention time wasted having to stop, to clean seat, and disinfect to make car pleasant for next rider. I careless if someone smokes or not, but dont wanna be confined. Its colder outside and makes no sense rolling down windows- @The Rideshare Guy
Welcome to the world of rideshare! Unfortunately, it is hard to know which rider will be a smoker. If this is an issue, you could always try food delivery or other gig work that doesn't require driving people. We recommend this product from Amazon. amzn.to/3XQFRia Hope this helps!
When the number of Uber drivers is few, they raise you to the sky, Uber employees let you make money with ease, and when the number is very large, you have no value for them, and you earn money with great difficulty, even though if it were not for us, they would not have become anything. You are the driver carrying the bag to the customer and bringing the bag to the customer And you open the door sometimes for the customer, and also the customer wants you to be an angel and not a mistake, and you are a driver in the street, with me half of those who drive in the street do not abide by traffic rules, and you consume your car after a period of time, your car becomes worth nothing because it has many miles and you too You need to always be careful on the street from pedestrians and traffic lights. All this psychological pressure has no value for them if a customer writes a report about you, even if the customer is a liar. I promise you. I will work on writing a book about my experience as a driver, my suffering with Uber, and everything can change, believe me.
I respect you, I wish you would tell people that the Uber Dispatcher is unfair, final, and unfair. I am currently sitting in the Uber parking lot at Fort Lauder Airport. There is no surge on my Uber screen, which means a red screen. Busy time price means an increase in fees, but on the screen of another driver there is a surge and A red spot on the airport website and an extra $4.75. Isn't this oppression of men and unfairness? This is Uber. When you are new, I give you an excellent job so that you can talk about it among your friends, but a small mistake with the Dispatcher.
When the number of Uber drivers is small, they raise you to the sky, Uber employees let you make money with ease, and when the number is very large, you have no value to them, and you make money with great difficulty, and they carry you beautifully.
In 2020 I made more in bonuses then actual ride fees also weekends you can go online and get 18-30 power zones !well that was 2019-2020 this year in 2022 it Stinks the road is oversaturated gas is too expensive and the company continually tries to pay us less and I’m running out of Ways To stay ahead of the system and continually make around $800-$1000 for my pocket for 30to 40hours work it’s just not happening in 22
I predict my paycheck every night to dollar based off the hours I’m gonna work. If you don’t know the algorithms or thresholds, than I’m sorry guys you shouldn’t be driving. The second you realize you’re not in control is when you’ll reach my level. It’s sad that people don’t figure this is out. I’m analytic and I keep testing my theories and they become more accurate. Doing it a few weeks this month and doubled my pay from 2 yrs ago. To each their own. There’s so much I can say to help people on here, but 80% of you guys don’t look friendly as drivers. Your vehicles are sub par and a safety hazard. So I can’t honor that in good faith.
Now, Uber encourages electric cars, not that they want you to benefit. No, on the contrary, when most drivers have electric cars now, they pay 65 cents for each mile, but when cars become mostly electric, it will change from 65 cents to 50 cents, and they may have shares or commission on electric cars. This is the truth, please believe me.
This is not true any time in my area is the best I go to a sweet spot and it takes me to other city's were I get other orders rinse and repeat day time is mostly truck drivers night time is people partying
I want compensation for my right and my psychological and moral torment that I am subjected to every day at Fort Lauderdale Airport, Florida by Uber employees at night shifts who are responsible for the work of drivers at this airport and hold them accountable by Uber who are responsible for personnel affairs and hold them accountable legally for what I have been exposed to Psychological torment and oppression in this airport.
We were at Fort Lauder Airport, 100 drivers and a little more. All the drivers were making money. Uber employees sent drivers from Miami to us and gave them a lot of work. They made a lot of money so that when they return to Miami they talk to the other drivers. Come there, you make a lot of money and easily. Of course most of the drivers came. From Miami, in a hurry, they gave them a lot of work at the beginning. Thus, Uber is the first beneficiary. It took control of the airport and became controlling the prices. The former drivers now have no value in the current situation. You want to work, work. You want to go bye bye.
It’s never a good time to enslave yourself and be ripped off by these rideshare companies. You are giving away your car’s value and you aren’t being even close to a fair compensation rate. Do the math yourself, add up ALL expenses to operate that car including the purchase price, gas, insurance, tire replacement, repairs, registration, oil changes and other general maintenance, as well as eventually replacing batteries and other components and the eventual replacement cost of the vehicle when it gets too old for their requirements, and you will realize how much of a ripoff it truly is
Dispatcher and your manager at Fort Lauderdale airport Florida Night Shift If you are afraid and your hands and feet are shaking, tell your mother or father to feed you a spoonful of sugar that prevents fear hahaha you are afraid and I am not because the truth is with me.
Anything bad happens to me and my family The first officer is the Night Shift Uber employees and the Uber owner who works and is responsible for the drivers at Fort Lauderdale Airport I am subjected to severe oppression and persecution They do not treat me as equal like other drivers at Fort Lauderdale Airport They send me talk to the Whopper Crew I don't talk to people like the Whopper Crew They get paid by Uber I want to talk to the Department of Labor Crew I want people of good conscience I want people as clean as the American flag to help me through this misery What I am exposed to every day I am a taxi driver in the world I talk about a Uber company and I still work with them I ask people of pure and honorable consciences in America where is justice
Every now and then, the Uber administration sends drivers to sign new clauses invented by Uber's lawyers in order to protect themselves. Of course, all these clauses are in the interest of Uber, and not in the interest of the drivers. And I say to the lawyers and management of Uber, and not any law that stands in the way of justice and the will of the people, for information only, a street vendor of greenery in the street brought down the head of state of Tunisia and Martin Luther King worked hard and got justice between whites and blacks, and I, for example, will work hard to achieve justice for drivers no matter what it costs The matter is that I have never fought a battle in my life, otherwise I won it, because I am always right and I always have evidence for what I say. I am not a stubborn person, but I categorically reject injustice
Let me tell you guys something nothing it’s gonna change for the drivers to get paid better or we need to do is get United and stop working and that’s how everything will change better for us for the drivers all this talks are bullshit

i do uber eats here in honolulu, but looks like UBER dont pay the surge to ubereats drivers anymore, everytime i got a surge attach to me and once i got a request its always not there anymore, example i got 7 bucks surge, then ill get a 5 bucks delivery request, the surge is not getting added anymore, thats why i dont care for it anymore cause its no longer legit
In Dallas we use to make $20 to $25 an hour with Uber eats. I quit because the pay dropped to $15 and they sent an email the other day saying you can make up yo $13 an hour lol I dont think so.
Everything you said I done and I'm still not making money at cherry pick for the past 2 years and now I do not get requests Have been 2 weeks I've been working with Uber and lift and the only money I made was 0 I put in over 70 hours to 80 hours just to check it out and now I do not make money cherry picking Today is Friday the day after fourth for July I've been online for the past 6 hours and haven't made a dime I'm from Philadelphia I've been driving for Uber And Lyft for the past 5 years If somebody can help me out and tell me how I can make money Driving for Uber and lyft.. Thank you
I was in SLC. I could make $100 before 6am. 10am-2pm…nutt’n. After 4pm nuts. Could only drive 12 hours. This was weekdays.
I joined Lyft last Thursday. Started in the afternoon 3pm. I finished 4 rides at 5pm. I made $26.41 with $5.00 tips. I estimated I spent $7.00 for gas. That means I made $19.41 for 4 trips and that represented $4.85 per trip. I really got discouraged! what did I do wrong? Any comments? I don't think that is worth it?!
you have to play the system right if you want to make a good wage. Figure out where and when the surges are. 3pm on a thursday is a good time to have a streak going but not a good time to start a streak. There are lots of drivers out at that time. If you really want to make the big bucks you need to work hours others arent willing to work, otherwise the roads are saturated, and you are taking left over rides that no one wants to take.
Airport rides early in the morning when most are sleeping for example. And decline rides that dont pay you more dollars than minutes.
I like doing weekends. weekdays at night is kind of a struggle better on friday nights. I drive in the suburbs here in NJ. the pickups are all over the place. some ppl go to Newark, Jersey City, East Orange, Irvington, Paterson mainly urban towns. A couple to Newark Liberty once I went to JFK ppl paid $90 or some go over to NY two sunday nights in a row, I did drop offs in the bronx. but once I cross state lines, I have to deadhead back to NJ the app kicks me off since I dont have credentials to drive in NY state.
Uber drivers are being ripped off with up front pricing when I used to take somebody 50 miles I made $50 now they're offering 25 ... If you can't get a surcharge it's not worth taking a ride!!!!! Lyft pays better for the time being
You is telling the truth I don't know what's going on with Uber it's not worth driving for them anymore
Vegas can be busy all the time weekdays for conventions and weekends for tourists
i know from visiting out there
People say 9 pm to 6 am is the best time to drive. Driver gets maximum possible money at minimum possible time
No use to drive when everyone is heading the same direction - except if you like driving empty half of the time.
so true for chicago
When bonuses or extra for surge zone pricing happens here its dead
Anytime should be good . The problem is Uber/Lyft let too many people come on the platform. Veteran drivers shouldn't have to go far away or drive in certain hours . If they need drivers in those areas and or hours then design the app so the app will only go online at those locations and it hours for newbies. I've been driving 6 years and I know people need to go places at all hours . There are just too many drivers!
I drive Monday thru Friday in Philly area, northeast, New Jersey..I drive from 8:15am till about 1pm. My goal each day is to make $100 a day. Dose anyone have any tips for me?
Any idea about Houston?
Best is taking all the money during the morning and afternoon. All night is trash. Scary and no man's land
7 years driving uber, all issues with riders has been in the day light
The Best Time To Drive Uber And Lyft: Never
Hey , the rideshare guy, just started driving for uber/lyft. I am allergic to cigarette/tobacco. How do i handle this as 2 or 3 of 10 riders either like to stop smoking before entering my car, not to even mention time wasted having to stop, to clean seat, and disinfect to make car pleasant for next rider. I careless if someone smokes or not, but dont wanna be confined. Its colder outside and makes no sense rolling down windows- @The Rideshare Guy
Welcome to the world of rideshare! Unfortunately, it is hard to know which rider will be a smoker. If this is an issue, you could always try food delivery or other gig work that doesn't require driving people. We recommend this product from Amazon. amzn.to/3XQFRia
Hope this helps!
Good recommendations👍😎
When the number of Uber drivers is few, they raise you to the sky, Uber employees let you make money with ease, and when the number is very large, you have no value for them, and you earn money with great difficulty, even though if it were not for us, they would not have become anything. You are the driver carrying the bag to the customer and bringing the bag to the customer And you open the door sometimes for the customer, and also the customer wants you to be an angel and not a mistake, and you are a driver in the street, with me half of those who drive in the street do not abide by traffic rules, and you consume your car after a period of time, your car becomes worth nothing because it has many miles and you too You need to always be careful on the street from pedestrians and traffic lights. All this psychological pressure has no value for them if a customer writes a report about you, even if the customer is a liar. I promise you. I will work on writing a book about my experience as a driver, my suffering with Uber, and everything can change, believe me.
Not to come off the subject but at 1:25 in your video I saw a spirit orb come out of your right shoulder, Unless It’s a piece of lint or dust.
I respect you, I wish you would tell people that the Uber Dispatcher is unfair, final, and unfair. I am currently sitting in the Uber parking lot at Fort Lauder Airport. There is no surge on my Uber screen, which means a red screen. Busy time price means an increase in fees, but on the screen of another driver there is a surge and A red spot on the airport website and an extra $4.75. Isn't this oppression of men and unfairness? This is Uber. When you are new, I give you an excellent job so that you can talk about it among your friends, but a small mistake with the Dispatcher.
When the number of Uber drivers is small, they raise you to the sky, Uber employees let you make money with ease, and when the number is very large, you have no value to them, and you make money with great difficulty, and they carry you beautifully.
In 2020 I made more in bonuses then actual ride fees also weekends you can go online and get 18-30 power zones !well that was 2019-2020 this year in 2022 it Stinks the road is oversaturated gas is too expensive and the company continually tries to pay us less and I’m running out of Ways
To stay ahead of the system and continually make around $800-$1000 for my pocket for 30to 40hours work it’s just not happening in 22
you’re right I did 1700 in 38 working hours online
Those 2020 Covid bonuses were AMAZING... 60 rides for $700, 80 rides for $900 in Los Angeles County.
I like to join, I deposited fee but don't have time. Need steps to register and help with the L LC and all required information about the program
I predict my paycheck every night to dollar based off the hours I’m gonna work. If you don’t know the algorithms or thresholds, than I’m sorry guys you shouldn’t be driving. The second you realize you’re not in control is when you’ll reach my level. It’s sad that people don’t figure this is out. I’m analytic and I keep testing my theories and they become more accurate. Doing it a few weeks this month and doubled my pay from 2 yrs ago. To each their own. There’s so much I can say to help people on here, but 80% of you guys don’t look friendly as drivers. Your vehicles are sub par and a safety hazard. So I can’t honor that in good faith.
Now, Uber encourages electric cars, not that they want you to benefit. No, on the contrary, when most drivers have electric cars now, they pay 65 cents for each mile, but when cars become mostly electric, it will change from 65 cents to 50 cents, and they may have shares or commission on electric cars. This is the truth, please believe me.
Is when you have nothing to do but drive people around for free because that's what you will be doing. No money in this gig.
This is not true any time in my area is the best I go to a sweet spot and it takes me to other city's were I get other orders rinse and repeat day time is mostly truck drivers night time is people partying
Chicago always busy!
I want compensation for my right and my psychological and moral torment that I am subjected to every day at Fort Lauderdale Airport, Florida by Uber employees at night shifts who are responsible for the work of drivers at this airport and hold them accountable by Uber who are responsible for personnel affairs and hold them accountable legally for what I have been exposed to Psychological torment and oppression in this airport.
Simple answer - NEVER!!!
We were at Fort Lauder Airport, 100 drivers and a little more. All the drivers were making money. Uber employees sent drivers from Miami to us and gave them a lot of work. They made a lot of money so that when they return to Miami they talk to the other drivers. Come there, you make a lot of money and easily. Of course most of the drivers came. From Miami, in a hurry, they gave them a lot of work at the beginning. Thus, Uber is the first beneficiary. It took control of the airport and became controlling the prices. The former drivers now have no value in the current situation. You want to work, work. You want to go bye bye.
Nice 👍
Florida?
Uber drivers never factor in maintenance and fuel. If they did, they would quit! lmao
It’s never a good time to enslave yourself and be ripped off by these rideshare companies. You are giving away your car’s value and you aren’t being even close to a fair compensation rate. Do the math yourself, add up ALL expenses to operate that car including the purchase price, gas, insurance, tire replacement, repairs, registration, oil changes and other general maintenance, as well as eventually replacing batteries and other components and the eventual replacement cost of the vehicle when it gets too old for their requirements, and you will realize how much of a ripoff it truly is
Dispatcher and your manager at Fort Lauderdale airport Florida Night Shift If you are afraid and your hands and feet are shaking, tell your mother or father to feed you a spoonful of sugar that prevents fear hahaha you are afraid and I am not because the truth is with me.
Those times be bogus af
Yeah anything less than 10 hours a day is part time like you said you’re the end of the video there.
I ask every honest person to share my comments before they are deleted by the owner of this ad who is talking about Uber.
When I God dam feel like it....
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Never.
Peace.. Shalom.. Salam.. Namaste .. 🙏🏻 😊 🌈 ✌ 🌷 ☮️ ❤️
Here’s the answer for the title of this video, “Never”.
Anything bad happens to me and my family The first officer is the Night Shift Uber employees and the Uber owner who works and is responsible for the drivers at Fort Lauderdale Airport I am subjected to severe oppression and persecution They do not treat me as equal like other drivers at Fort Lauderdale Airport They send me talk to the Whopper Crew I don't talk to people like the Whopper Crew They get paid by Uber I want to talk to the Department of Labor Crew I want people of good conscience I want people as clean as the American flag to help me through this misery What I am exposed to every day I am a taxi driver in the world I talk about a Uber company and I still work with them I ask people of pure and honorable consciences in America where is justice
Best time to drive for uber and Lyft is: NEVER.
Every now and then, the Uber administration sends drivers to sign new clauses invented by Uber's lawyers in order to protect themselves. Of course, all these clauses are in the interest of Uber, and not in the interest of the drivers. And I say to the lawyers and management of Uber, and not any law that stands in the way of justice and the will of the people, for information only, a street vendor of greenery in the street brought down the head of state of Tunisia and Martin Luther King worked hard and got justice between whites and blacks, and I, for example, will work hard to achieve justice for drivers no matter what it costs The matter is that I have never fought a battle in my life, otherwise I won it, because I am always right and I always have evidence for what I say. I am not a stubborn person, but I categorically reject injustice
There are no best times.
Can you tell us something that we don’t know because whatever you telling us right now, all of us know about those hours
Let me tell you guys something nothing it’s gonna change for the drivers to get paid better or we need to do is get United and stop working and that’s how everything will change better for us for the drivers all this talks are bullshit
