How do you know how many drivers in your area, and how you know the rider, I'm in NJ and don't see pricing or drop off area 89% acceptance 495 ratings diamond driver 1500 points
I notice you are a comfort ride> I have a 2016 F150 Sport Model Super Crew Cab and so many riders comment about how much leg room not including the comfort of the ride compared to other luxury vehicles that they have been in yet I only received X pay? Doesn't seem right to me. Leather doesn't mean legroom. Just wanted your take on this. Thanks for the advice on choosing better offers!
@Sergio-SMTMC thanks 👍
How does trip radar works?.
Thanks.
@Sergio-SMTMC Sergio, I am hearing and seeing that because we won't accept trips that are not worth it, that Uber is hiring massive amounts of new drivers, and giving them great incentives, so they can take the trip requests that we refuse to accept. I have heard that it is also a ploy to break the spirit of drivers who won't accepts these pay cuts. Have you heard anything about this? When Harry interviewed Mr. Khoshrowshahi, he had said if we did not agree with any trip request that we could decline it, that would teach the Algorithms how to get the trip priced right. What I am seeing and hearing is the direct opposite of that. What is the real truth. I'm confused.
It doesn't matter how far away the pickup is when you get the Ping! What matters is the total miles and that the dollar amount you get is more than $1 a mile, and, the total time, needs to calculate out to $30 an hour or more. You need BOTH!
In my local market I don’t think I’ve ever seen $1/mile yet. I’ve only been doing this for a week. Uber X, utah. Thoughts?
The problem with a far away pick up is you could be on the way and they cancel on you. Even worse if its a trip you gambled on because you took even though it was headed in direction far from where you want to go.
Well done calculation!!!!
@@paulramura8126 THANKS!
@@badass1g. The only time u get 1-2-3 dollars only on high demand no drivers around longer wait pax or multiple decline pax low ratings by drivers. Declining garbage are only options. I am doing x in Orlando market. I may get same desalination from 50 cent to 2 dollar. I don’t take anything less than 1.00 unless I need go back my location where is high demand. Those day Uber are greedy when there have enough drivers.
I hate this upfront pricing. It's just another way to screw the driver. Most of my offers are 50 cents a mile, which is an absolute joke. Uber is following the Instacart model and if you accept the garbage you are teaching the algorithm to keep offering you garbage. Don't let them bully you about the acceptance rates and logging you off. Hang tough.
Yesterday in Houston near Missouri City @4:30 pm a ride 5 min from me for 54 min pinged at $10.
I let that go!!!
Picked up Hobby Airport for $24 right after. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us!!!!!
We need an app that allows drivers to communicate locally!!
You said it good idea
It’s called Reddit. 😂
CB radios and be on channel 9 and then we could talk to drivers
CB radio
We use WhatsApp and all the night shift people are in the group.
I opened the Lyft PAX app and noticed a customer has an option to wait longer for a ride at a cheaper price. The issue is the close drivers disappear and the far away ones get pinged for lower fares. This is ridiculous! Why would Lyft give them that option? The farther the driver the more it should cost.
@Sergio-SMTMC After looking for some other things in the PAX apps, I also noticed that it doesn't show riders how many miles when picking a destination. It just shows, time to pickup, time to drop off and the fare they have to pay.
Because they’re trying to compel the rider to pay for Priority Pickup. With the Wait & Save options, it’s a matter of reading the language. “Pickup within…” is 100% different than “Pickup in…” so selecting that option may still net the closest driver at a cheaper price. I’ve had riders think that they have 20 minutes to get ready, yet the ride is there in 3. Gotta know how to game the system as a rider.
Today, I received the lowest fare I've seen in San Diego. Pickup was 7.23 Miles away and Drop off was 15.98 miles for $11.57 for a total of 23.21 miles. I respectfully declined it.
@Sergio-SMTMC I also noticed that they took away the 3 Minute wait time. We used to get $3.75 if a rider didn't get to the car after 3 minutes we can cancel. Now it's 2 minutes and after canceling we get 0.
I've seen much worse. Last week an offer came my way. 18 minutes away for pickup, and almost a 20 minute ride for a little over $12 bucks. Don't remember the mileage cause the time and price was enough for an immediate rejection.
It has hapoened a few times with me as well Blockshaker.
That's why I only use Lyft if there's a ride bonus or on my way home in the middle of nowhere. Regular Lyft prices are ALWAYS garbage. 90% of my income is Uber and I make $2000 per week with x and comfort only
A few weeks ago in San Diego, I got a trip with BAD INFO -- pickup in Oceanside (where I was) for a trip to "Starbucks in San Diego" that was 20 miles away for $29. Sounded like Del Mar and I was heading that way, so I took it. Turned out the rider was going TO THE AIRPORT. Which is usually a $40 fare from that location. Two weeks of fighting with support to get the fare mostly adjusted. Since then, I've seen six trips with similar bad info.
For the past weeks Uber is killing me.. last weekend when on average you get 5 trips an hour, I was 80min without a request.. and the rides bonus went from 200$ for 60 rides to 50$
Yesterday I worked 10 hours.. made 94$.. it’s getting insane how the changes are so drastic every week
Yeah. Quests completely diminished, surge zones are a rarity. Unless it's a shitty snow day where Uber rapes the customers then it's bonus zones sea of red. These days my morning shift nets me about half what it used to. I have a hybrid rav4 suv that gets 45mpg so at least my gas costs are low. Definitely not worth driving much at all right now, good thing I'm broke from Christmas and a family vacation in December.
I agree ! I had to stop driving because it was slow .
Zeke I had the same experience this week. $10/hour average and I’m driving drunkies and crackheads too 😅
200 for 60 rides must be your frist 60 day vip new to thier platforms. 3 - 6 month later u would tried of the offer promotion. I got 40 trips for $5 greedy dollar Uber offers.
How about driving in crappy areas for crap passengers
the issue is that people are accepting everything!! theres too many newbies!!!
I agree with Sergio. I'll give you three examples:
1. It was on NYE day and they tried giving me an Orlando to Miami for only $120 during rush hour. Declined immediately!
2. Just 2 days ago they tried to stick me with an Orlando to Port St. Lucie for only $61 with bonuses. Obviously, I declined!
3. I believe it was on Monday or last week when they gave me an hour drive during rush hour for only $10.61 and once I declined then they sticked me with it again. Do I need to say what happened next? Yup!!! I went offline for 10 minutes. Lol!!!
Let the newbies saturate themselves.
It's not the newbies. Everyone has different parameters. Some people only need to make 2 to 4 rides per day everyday. Many people only need to pay their rent or car payment plus fuel and insurance and getting "trash" is all they need to pay their bills. You who actually live in your cars and try to make Uber full time (it was never meant to be a full time reliable gig ffs) are trying to compete against thousands of part time drivers who only need part time pay and their standards are lower and they CAN be lower because they only want to driver two or so hours per day. Your trash is their treasure. People trying to play the blame game jeez, you don't even understand how markets work or thar every driver has different financial requirements. So many Uber drivers on YT are so bitter and people in the comments are especially so are the type who just can't fathom anyone making decisions different from their own. Most of you should have found another part time gig years ago if the "newbies" are ruining it for you. The lack of self accountability for yourselves is shameful.
@@metaparcel Word.
These apps about to lose ppl
This is a big part of why the rates are so low! If UBER see all of these rookies accepting cheap rates, then they’re going to think it’s acceptable to pay everyone across the board cheap rates!
Glad you made this one ..Eye opener .
Looking forward to starting with Fare. 90% profits go to the driver.
Love the smart recommendation of checking the price from the passenger app. Thank you for the reminder. What Catagory are these rides in this example? Regular Uber x? Thx 🙏🏾
I agree ; to many newbies accepting everything so the price of rides are becoming garbage
Get a real job this supposed to be a side gig not full time usually they do it for the bonus streak
@@TruckerDave215Lyft I noticed doesn't do that and I think it's ran better. You get a real job if you have issues
Thank you Sergio!!!
Thanks Thanks I appreciate all the knowledge... knowing the THREE P's and the algorithm is the key to making this work
Hey guys this has gone unspoken about. With the upfront price Uber has lower the price per mile here in Orlando Fl from 0.87 per mile to 0.61 per mile. Most drivers have not noticed, I have. Another problem that no one is saying anything about is that when you take a ride even with upfront pay and you choose a shorter route you get less than what was offered. Hopefully you will bring this to light, let everyone know.
I'm a driver in Orlando myself and I also have noticed that. If you take a shorter route or if there are no traffic and all lights are green for you then they will re-calculate and pay you less. Now, if there is a longer way that it might take you a little bit longer without any tolls then they will pay you more. Just yesterday I went from a 4.95 up to 8 something because I took a little longer without the toll roads. Keep it strong buddy!
@Sergio-SMTMC Let me see if it happens today and I will let you know it. I know it happened yesterday but I don't have a screen shot of it.
@Sergio-SMTMC lyft only adjust up or down if route or time changes "significantly"
That's the price for comfort
Uber x is less than .50 per mile
Please do more videos like this. I learned SO much… thank you.
@Sergio-SMTMC I’m watching lots of your videos now. You guys are awesome! My first week my pay is ranging from $9/hr one night. The next night $30/hr. Is it normal to have such a huge swing in earnings? I’m having to drive tons of drunk people and now people on meth or crack. The smell is horrid! Thanks again buddy. I’m down to 17% accept rate, I’m hoping to get that even lower after tonight which will be my first weekend night lol. Will I ever get penalized for having say a 15-20% cancel rate? Sometimes I regret accepting a ride but then I just do it anyway.
@Sergio-SMTMC wow last night was incredible! I was thinking of you guys every time I rejected a ride lol. I made continuous $30/hr plus last night on x. That was def my best night of the first weeks trial. Clearly weekend nights are the best in my area and probably many others. Thanks for all you guys do! 👍
4th 'P'....pause requests. Turn them off after you accept a ride.
Why
My acceptance rate is in single digits because I have to wait so long to get anywhere near the magic $1 per mile. Surge in Orange County apart from closing time (~2AM) is almost non-existent. But - I'm only driving Friday and Saturday nights from dark to ~3AM
I'm at my main job and from where I am in OC the price difference between companies is amazing. Uber is charging $58ish to get to LAX terminal 4 while Lyft is charging $86ish.
Do you guys have your own channels? I love your content but I tend to not like other videos on here. Thank you and happy travels
Thanks, I didn't know about seeing drivers in the area on the regular lyft app.. that is really good thing to know, i only drive for lyft, because I dont like Uber's app and i think I can only do Uber Eats
In my area Ftl Miami surges have dropped 80% huge change and many other things
Great video, very very interesting to see how the algo reacts when it's desperate and you're the only option. I'd love to see this again but on Lyft, apparently Lyft is charging *massively* more than Uber, even on non-surge rides. I'd love to see what they're offering the driver.
Haha ants surge chasing, it's true 🤣
The passenger app only shows the cars for the selected service level. You might see 4 uberX cars around you but if you select comfort they may all disappear or maybe 1 or 2 remain.
Could you make a video like this with the #Lyft app showing which rides you would take and which you would not.
I can't wait till upfront fares go away I don't want to calculate every trip. I just want to be paid like before base fare plus time , distance, and surge.
The reason you want to know all that information is because if you have to go 25 mi or 25 minutes to go pick someone up you make zero on that leg of the trip. Miles per gallon is a big deal when gas is this expensive and time is the most valuable of all things! Driving 20 minutes well it's on your dime to take someone 5 minutes is stupid. Don't be lazy just look at it and make a good decision. Is it too far? Will it take longer to get there than the trip itself after I pick them up? Easy questions
Boy are you in the minority and that is a terrible way to run a business with not knowing what you will be required to do to receive the promised pay.
Great Video,
Glad you enjoyed it
I love Lyft switch and bait me last night, it went from first customer going from Pasadena to LA then within 2 minutes into the drive it switched to Pasadena to Thousand Oaks!
Yes LYFT PLAYS that game
Question… with all the evaluations of information and passing on rides, what does your cancellation rate look like? And does it matter? I’m in a smaller city and these prices astound me! Much higher rates
Passing on a ride is not cancellation. To get a cancellation, you need to accept a trip, then cancel it. Not taking a trip in the first place, is acceptance rate
Could you do a program reference driving from Long Island to New York....we have to come back empty...working almost for free....Please.
Great tips as always guys thank you 🙏🏼
Why is the video quality of the cell phone screen so bad? I can't tell what the app is showing half the time.
Wish my market was that busy.
love it!!
They offer like 4 times as much in la so this doesn’t really help us in Tampa
The surge and pricing of the rides depends on two things:
1. The density of drivers nearby. (population)
2. The density of drivers nearby. (intelligence)
😂
Being uber in rio de janeiro, Brazil is difficult expensive fuel and lately few trips but I will apply the tips in this video to try to earn more thanks
how do you use the rider app to see how many cars around area?
How are they using rider to see how many drivers in area? I have rider app and driver app and none show
I have 6 1/2 years of driving lyft and uber, 17000 rides. I was never scared to drive late nights on the weekends, I figured if I was going to take this seriously, this is when I was going to make the most money. I have never had anybody throw up in my car. I drive around where the most bars are in my area. I watch the rider walk up to my car and start making conversation with them immediately. I do this to judge the person and intoxication level they are. I have a speech I give them if I think they might get sick. More then once I have stopped and bought someone a water to help them out. Night rides are a lot of fun. I drive around colleges and keep a station on the radio that plays popular music that is more suiting for a younger crowd. I do keep presets on the radio for rock for the older people. I switch the station according to the rider. When I drive during the day I find the riders are different and not as generous with tips. It is the difference between someone coming and going from work or running everyday errands to the riders out enjoying and doing what they want. Of course the tips will be better. I want to add that you should do a video on safe driving. I pick most of my riders up on a street that has a lot of bars and foot traffic. I see other uber drivers not driving sagely. Cars have what are called indicators or blinkers equipped on them, use them! Hazard lights tell other drivers what you are doing also! Mirrors are put on a car for a reason, use them. Being aware of the vehicles and people around your vehicle is another good idea! Also, you don't have to rush or drive like a maniac, there will be another ride rather quickly if you are smart enough to be where the rides are! I have said to riders numerous times every weekend, after seeing another Uber Lyft driver doing something dumb, those uber drivers you have to watch out for them. I use this as a joke and it always gets a laugh because I'm a uber driver. Another important lesson I have learned is not every riders wants to talk to me. Recognize the situation in your car. What I do if there is more then one rider in my car at night, after the hello, how are you, I don't interject myself into the conversation unless something is said to me. The couple going home after a night out with friends usually just wants to talk to each other.
I'm in NC, and we don't see upfront prices. We get 5-7 seconds to accept a ride that only gives distance to the pickup.
Wow they're obviously playing around with us! Cuz I only get the price I get no information about how far it is or where I'm going to go after I pick them up. You're supposed to get where it is from where you are then where you're going after you pick them up and then Miles involved on both parts of that trip!
I started driving for Uber on Monday February 2nd 2023 and my driver app foment show me the time of the fare or the mileage until I accept the ride, by then is too late so I have to take it. Yesterday I had Uber eats with a 23 mile round trip 40 minutes each way and got $20 including tip. I can’t find any settings so as to see if I can change it si am able to see the price or anything. Help please
I work in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania price is getting down every day
How do you access the passenger app?
Now in San Diego you don't have 10 seconds on the direct offers to decide. You have 5!
I drive in Chicago and the punish me with acceptance rate going lower long rides to pick up and bad pay with long wait they say high acceptance rate shorter time wait
What’s right is that the person who books the ride is garaunteed a ride in a comfort ride anyone else that comes to car is not promised a ride.
How is it possible that a 2021 Mercedes Benz C300 is not classified as a luxury car?
Been doing Uber for 4 years now and at the time of this post in the Atlanta area the average hourly gross pay for UberX with no surge attached is around $20 considering time and mileage per ride. Just takes doing a little math in your head while watching ride requests to come up with this figure which is fairly steady. With that being said, every once in a while a trip request will appear that pays considerably higher for some unknown reason and those are typically the ones I wait on.
In Atlanta they trying to pay 7.00 for 8 minutes pick up and 22 minutes drop off he’ll nah I canceled
Yeah and sometimes they don't even tell you that till after you've accepted it. And the passengers are talking about it wondering why are they getting so many cancellations?? I tell them because they're not giving this the information until after we accept the trip and then we realize it was a crap trip and have to cancel cuz we're not out here to make friends we're actually out here to make a living. You can't drive and lose money which I've actually done! Kinda doesn't work though you know what I mean??
I won't be surprise if UBER kills the screen shot/recording ability from the App pretty soon. You guys are teaching/training the drivers that will give headache for UBER. I don't driver anymore, so I'm not on neither side
oh brother!
My rider app does not show any maps or drivers unless I book a ride.
It’s not busy like that where I am living
In one of the agreement updates, Uber was candid about testing the drivers to see what they would take… they’re evil mindfu--.
How do i know if im the only driver in the area?
First I look at miles the ride take then the miles away I am from the start of ride, and I make sure it's not a múltiple stop.
@Sergio-SMTMC thanks never thought of that. I only work disney area and only do under 2 miles rides as most of them are in the area
I had rider last night who added a stop after I accepted… but I didn’t understand until I picked him up. I lost my ass on that trip. Where can we see on the app that someone adds a stop while we are navigating toward them? I’m a rookie
@@badass1g there will be a message saying rider updated trip and a pop up will either say added a stop or changed destination. I always cancel when I see that. For an extra 85 cents for double the time not worth it!
@@mommy_and_lulu9271 wow yea that’s a rip off. It took me 30 mins total and I made $6 😡 thank you for the info I’m gonna cancel next time someone does that
@@badass1g your welcome. This is what I save my cancelations for since the ratings do matter for our benifits. If you have to cancel for a person with no carseat or rude or inappropriate behavior call uber and make sure that doesn't go on your cancelation rating
why are you not excepting and or just letting them go by i thought you were supposed to be excepting rides so how are you not excepting the rides and still being activated
I drive in Colorado and our screen only shows how far away the rider is, not how much the potential earnings are or where they are going. Am I missing something?
is you app up to date?
Could not figure out why I am not getting riders early AM.
Small market.
I went on pax app and they only offered reservation at 5:50, it was 505.
5 miles was 51$!
No wonder people are not using uber to get to work anymore!
They are price gouging with forced reservations😢
Hi guys. Question! Do you know why trip previews are not seen in advance if we are 1 hour outside of the city zone? Hope my question makes sense. What is the range I must stay in to be able to see trip previews before I accept?
I noticed this as well some time back and I believe it has something to do with being in the zone you are registered in. In order to see information in a different zone you must request Uber to make that arrangement just like when you go on vacation and want to work a little in another state you have to request Uber make that arrangement possible and then when returning back to home area again make that request to Uber. Not certain how Lyft handles that.
Why when I get a ride request it comes up red and not green
35+ thousand completed trips, how low can your acceptance rate be, before being deactivated?
Question Guy. How that affect my acceptane rating? Because I afraid of that.
I don’t see “around me “ on my Uber user map, why’s that ???
Why can i see this map overview and price of trip i just started uber
I did this my percentage went down to 79 and now I cannot see how long the ride is!
I discovered over a year ago that surge bonuses are not what they seem. I sat one morning just watching rides and it occurred to me on the app many rides with roughly the same length time and mileage trips had different base pay depending on whether a surge was attached or not. For instance, a fairly basic ride of around three miles and less than ten minutes pays around $4 in my market. Add a $3 surge and it should be $7 dollars, right? Wrong because it only pays around $5.50. Take away the $3 surge and that means the base pay for that ride is $2.50. Typically Uber does not have a ride that pays that low to a driver. I began watching this more closely and see it occurring all the time.
Why I can not see the upfront pay ? I work in Long Island ny
Not all markets have upfront pay. Unfortunately, NY is one of these markets.
There is usually enough drivers to take the trips, so where I’m from the fee never goes up somebody takes the trip
man these prices is disrespectful big time
Wow watching you kick those ride request shows me just how badly they're under paying me. I had no idea
Surge is just a number they put up to entice us. A $10.00 surge only adds $1-2 dollars to the fare
Are we able to find an Uberx driver making more than $150 a day in DFW,TX
Doesn't the app only show drivers with out a passenger? There could be 10 drivers but only show 2 cars on the app
Mine doesn't show any of that information 🤔 . I can only see how far I am from the pickup.
That's the most important part! But you really need to know how far the trip itself is to see if it's worth going all that way to pick them up
I hate when we get a pickup 5 miles away and it is 5.00
That’s true, at night, people get desperate and start trying to help each other out by all of the 4 riders that will go on the same ride will try to get an uber to the same place. So that in turn will raise the surge even more. So at night, if your the only game in town, be patient and watch the surge climb.
if you don't accept the rides, uber puts me under 85% Acceptance Rate and once that happens, I can't tell where my destination is heading.
Same😢
I'm driving for Uber now, my question is how concerned should I be with my acceptance rate?
How do you pull up the passenger app and Uber drivers around
@@Sergio-SMTMC I'm a Uber/Lyft driver. I don't understand how you look to see how many Uber/Lyft drivers are around you.
Thank you Sergio. I appreciate the information from your broadcast each week
Here in the city of Toronto, Canada. Uberx doesn't allow you to see how much the trip gonna cost or where you are going. They only allow you to see where the passenger is.. and then, when you pick up the passenger they will show you where you are going. BUT still you aren't able yo see your earnings until you drop the passenger.
Grrrrr!!!😡
Is there Uber Pro where you are?? Where I'm at if you get your Uber pro status higher than blue with an acceptance rate of 85% or higher you can see the trip duration
Why does Uber only show me how far the pickup is? I’m not seeing their destination
Try not seeing anything but the dollar value of the trip😄. That's what my screen suddenly shows me. I've been driving since 2016 and I've been a diamond driver most of the time. And this is what they're doing. I don't take a trip unless I know how far away it is from me to go get them. So my acceptance rate is below blue haha dropped suddenly from diamond status haha.
Hi. One question. how we can see the money that Uber is charging for the trip? I only can see what they pay me for the trip not what’s the total that they charge.
He's going into the passenger app and creating a trip that approximates the trip he's getting. Unfortunately Uber doesn't allow us to actually see how much the passenger is paying.
I have checked the pricing on both Uber eats and Uber x and the pricing is good but uber is taking advantage of drivers but not paying what drivers are entitled to.
I been know this like 5 years back lol that's why I do Uber eats .
My troops don’t look like that I don’t get a dollar amount unless it’s food delivery and I don’t like getting in and out of the vehicle what I do get though is the time how long do trippers but not a dollar amount and surgeons have totally disappeared In my area I am 40 miles south of Seattle in Tacoma Washington
It's worth it to get up to Seattle. Bounce around like a pinball in Seattle and then go back home to Tacoma
Need some help here- I am not able to receive Uber rides on my iPhone. The app is on and I even get notifications about reservations and opportunities, but no rides !! Very frustrating. Thinking I either may have done something to my phone settings but it's been 3 days without rides... help !
Uninstall the app then reinstall it
I waited at an airport for 1.5 hours the lot was packed with new drivers it’s getting ridiculous
Yeah when I've done that it's because something's wrong with the app.
How and why are you getting well over a dollar a mile. I only get offers for a dollar or less in the Dallas area. WTF?
If you decline too many trips doesn't the app kick you off?
You may be logged off, but you should be able to go right back online.
I'm new and learning . Can someone direct me to a source that shows you how to navigate through these apps to get a better buck for driving? Im watching this video but still isnt clear as to how to do all these things. Plz note that i am a newbie!
Newbie> If the screen tells you how far away the ride is to pick them up don't take it if it's more than 5 minutes or certainly 5 mi! You lose money on those trips. You don't get paid to go pick people up. You only get paid after they get in the car. Sometimes they want you to go 20 minutes to pick someone up to take them on a 5-minute trip., Uh...No!!! Think about miles per gallon of your vehicle. Do you get 25 mi per 1 gallon of gas? How much is your gallon of gas that week? Don't drive when you don't get paid.
Doing this also lowers your acceptance rate to just about nothing, which takes you out of your Uber rewards. But if you don't care then it's best to do this..
You know that create surge already happens
Indy hardly gets surges. Trips wont pay gas money hardly.
I don’t understand how can you ignore too many trips ? Acceptance rate will kill you
acceptance rate means nothing. Unless your trying to achieve Diamond status.
What does a low AR mean? I haven't seen that it makes a difference
@@Sergio-SMTMC I ment how does AR affect us? I don't notice anything by having a AR rating
@@Sergio-SMTMC thank you. 😊
My acceptance rate is less than 50%. It’s not killing me.
Never heard of the passenger app
Wow any of those trips are rare and golden in Texas, more like 4$
I don’t know about you but I’ve been doing Uber for a few years in my market area. Is Orlando Kissimmee area if I see an $11 ride for 4 miles I’ll take it right away there’s not a lot of trips like those all the time most of the time I see trips like 8 miles for $7.16 miles for $11 so if I see an $11 trip for 4 miles I’ll take a right away and then take one at least dollar per mile but that’s my market some people make way more money than others but that’s my experience here
By not taking these trips… it tells me you do not care about your status status, gold, Platnum etc. Right?
some drivers don't care...not sure why.
whats the strategy for Quests? I need a lot of rides in a short period of time.
