thank you so much for having me on your show now all my friends live on the Internet and thanks everyone for the very nice comments just to let you know I’m doing XL and not the lower platforms to make the money I make with that being said, every market is different all drivers are different. I’m glad we all can get along. And yes you’re always working for yourself so always keep that in mind don’t work for Uber. Let Uber work for you once again thanks so much for the support Donnie disco.
I don’t really understand why you would want me to get your ride course when I am not driving now for either company, would I like to start back up maybe.
@@natestorm194 this only happens in this small market. I have fun with what I’m doing. I just take every ride as if I am the rider that needs to be picked up other drivers are not taking these people up, but I am, and they turn into great stories and usually turn into great Tip 💰 everybody’s different. It was just a story about some old guy doing Rideshare in a different way. I’m just saying
like they always say you’re not in Kansas anymore I like where I live. I choose to live a simple life in a simple city. If I lived anywhere else I would probably not be driving for Uber. You have to know your area and know your market. Oh yes I did live in New Orleans for a little while so I know where to go and we’re not to go. That’s the answer. Keep it simple live a simple life leave it with your family and live it right it’s not all about Uber.
Finally somebody excited about going to work and making money and making good money and not complaining about everything somebody with a positive attitude. This guy is going to go somewhere. Maybe you need to have him on your show all the time
I used to accept 98% rate and was not making money. After listening to you all I began to look at the scheme of upfront fee. Now, I pick and choose what take with acceptance rate of under 80% cancellations of 6%. I don’t go to dangerous places. UBER chooses what ride to give me and I pick and choose what ride I pick.
@sergioSMTMC1 I watched only a little of the video but I'm assuming he drives in a genuine tourist hotspot with casinos, acts as a tour-guide, and entertains his pax, and in exchange they throw lots of tips his way. Good for him. But his situation has zero relevance and relationship to the 99% of drivers who drive in the real world and are struggling with pay that keeps getting cut while Uber and Lyft are grabbing more than 50% from most rides. BTW, even HE couldn't make any money driving X. He admitted that.
@@tuby6521 He said he get's 30-40% trips from is fares. Rich people live in his neighborhood. I'm luck to get 1 tip for 10 rides. I am a minority which many people don't care for also. So I get why they don't tip me.
Thank you so much for your kind words I’m just trying to do the best I can for me and my family I found two or three opportunities to make money and I’m letting them work for me. Thank you so much.
I don’t think anybody can afford to take a two dollar ride but most the minimum three minutes for $5.18 is not bad you just have to get the right area to work in to make crazy money. Thanks for the kind words even though they’re about two and three dollar rides.
I was deactivated from Uber, riders said I was under the influence. I was driving just like Donnie Disco, I had an 100% acceptance rate 5 star rating and had over 13,000 trips, but because I had talked to Uber about they were not paying me for my tolls, and stealing my tips, they found away to deactivate me for no reason, they said that riders told them that I was under the influence. I never had a drink in my life, I don’t take drugs, and I don’t smoke. So what can you say or do about that.
Thanks you’re reply I did that and we only had one court appearance and was set to show up for the next date but then I had a stroke and I had to cancel that court appearance because of my health for a year, can I still take them to court since it’s been so long. How long do I have before I cannot pursue this claim. Thank you, Al
I've also been accused of driving under the influence.. I had a dashcam though after being accused of sexual assault so it was dropped once I showed uber footage of all the rides from the night. What I find crazy is that when I was accused of sexual assault I could still go online and drive , but driving under the influence is unacceptable 😅. Obviously, I didn't do either of the accusations, but had i not had the dash cam, I could've been deactivated as well. GET A DASH CAM EVERYONE before it's too late!
next thing you know they’ll have breathalyzers in each car you’ll have to breathe into the breathalyzer before you go to work just sad sad day when people have to get a refund for a trip and put the driver at risk of losing his job. This one needs to go straight to the top and get your job back as soon as possible. That’s if you want to work for a company that fired you, I don’t think I would come back. Thanks for the kind words.
@sergioSMTMC1 and more power to them , personally I’ll stick to what I’m doing, cherry picking and at this point, the way I’ve seen things getting worse and worse, RECRUITING all the 4.90 and above rated passengers I can which equals less driving and more money, the goal is to eventually not even need these rideshare apps
Terrific, outstanding, lots of fun-Donnie Disco you made my day. You've got a beard, a bigger personality than I do and I bigger car, but it is great to see someone with the same enthusiasm and positive attitude. I can match your 100% and 0% cancellation and you obviously are cleaning up on tips because of how you take care of your riders. Conrats Donnie.
Did I miss something? He's driving "XL" not "X," so isn't he automatically earning more per ride, regardless? Isn't it a higher paying platform? So why not take every ride? Don't get me wrong, accepting 100% is no easy feat, but let's put this in perspective, he's not doing it on the X platform where you can find yourself actually losing money on many rides.
How can you hate on someone that likes what they are doing and has such a positive attitude. The man is making it work for him. The beauty of Uber and Lyft is that everyone treats it their own way, just like any other business, some make it work and some don’t. But that’s in every single industry. Awesome interview Sergio. Very inspiring and insightful. Keep up the great work 👏👏👏
The truth is that some people actually enjoy driving people regardless of what the pay is. This gentleman is a classic example of this. He seems to enjoy what he does regardless of the profits. I mean, the guy literally lives in his car, it seems like.
thank you for your kind words, but my car is my office I run three businesses out of my car, a T-shirt business, a DJ business and a rideshare business and any other thing I can get involved with, but I really don’t live in my car. I spend at least eight hours a day with my family. I don’t sleep a lot because my mind is always wondering about the next dollar to make my family life easier. You always need crazy money 💵
@@AppRides You are simply the single greatest living organism on planet Earth today. Easy. My very first ride for Uber, they screwed me. I never did another. I have always done Lyft, and I agree...standard simply does not work. What I want to do is buy a nice, large rig and drive XL. This automatically filters out a lot of people I don't want in my car, although out of 1400 rides I've really had only 2 I wouldn't drive again. The "pay" just isn't there anymore for standard. You are king of the world and a bad man, and I mean that in the Muhammad Ali -esque kind of way.
This guy needs to get a 2010-16 Toyota Highlander Hybrid and start getting 27 miles per gallon!!!! He's losing 20 bucks a day and gas!!! He will also get Uber green rides!
I'm going to go on a limb and say Donnie won't buy anything not made in the USA. If for no other reason than his personal mechanic probably won't be able to help.
you’re absolutely right but I got the vehicle at such a great deal that I could buy two more for the price I would have to pay for that kind of vehicle. Thank you so much for your kind words and looking at the article. I also use this vehicle for the family and it has lots of room and it also can pull my toys around my RV my campers my boats sometimes just like Paul Harvey, the rest of the story. It’s all about the family. Thank you so much.
In my market (San Francisco Bay Area ) hybrid don’t qualify for green since May 2024 only ev . That’s why you never invest in a new and expensive vehicle to do business with Uber unless you have private customers . Uber Lyft are not trustworthy companies .
People make different things work. Some people can’t jump into an XL because of financial reasons that you have to work your way from the bottom to the top. Really appreciate your kind words.
I loved this video. I live in Atlanta, but I’m from this area. I never knew Uber could be profitable in this area. Thanks for the info Donnie and Sergio
My acceptance rate is 28% currently 5.0 stars and 4% cancel rate... my market is Orlando. It's really hard to accept most rides in this current market here and make money. I actually prefer smaller rate rides with short mileage here during the busy hours. I will take longer comfort rides when offered. I'm like Donnie I'm an Ambassador for my city and make great tips. There is money to be made but you have to find what works for you in your city and be consistent!
Yeah I’d appreciate if I could get some consistent tips. It’s got a few college students in the area I’m like but yeah if they’re shopping they’re working like throw me a couple extra dollars. I did a large Uber eats tonight. I had a car full with three orders and I’m believing they’re gonna be generous and tip because I saved them the Christmas shopping rushand had to unload all the food and place it on their dang porch. I remember people who tip and don’t. I’m less likely to accept a ride from them again if they don’t tip and show some appreciation.
I was so pissed I had to drive Share after being in a profession. I was so angry I saved all my Uber $. Bought a condo I swear. . That’s a stubborn Uber driver that I am
@jftrucker2609Uber is a tech company. People who work for Uber include programmers who write apps, marketers who convince customers to use the apps, indian call center employees, among others. Uber doesn’t provide transportation. Assuming you’re an Uber driver, that means you are a small business owner who has entered into an agreement with Uber to provide you with passengers. Essentially you are running a car service, and Uber is drumming up business for you. It’s a partnership. They offer you contracts to accept or decline. That’s it.
I accept about 97-99% on lyft. In my market its not terrible like some markets where they try to make you drive 40 miles for 17 bucks. I make sometimes almost 2k in 40ish hours on lyft. Uber tho i refuse to accept everything. I started on uber and it was fantastic. It had streaks, big bonuses, you name it. I was working just on uber and making just as much as lyft. Now no🤣 you make pennies and the wait time is hilarious. Yet lyft is filled with money. I have a friend who is a veteran driver. He approached me last week furious about uber. He said hes never waited this long for rides. He only make 80 dollars for 10 rides that day and had enough. I was like dude sign up to lyft. Uber doesn't care anymore. Lets hope lyft survives otherwise I don't think you will see as many full time drivers around to assist
I had a zero cancellation and UBER put one in there. Not the first time. They told me they're aware of the problem and "thank you for your patience". They wouldn't correct it. This happened the first summer I drove for them. They had me in two different places at the same time. They didn't fix that cancellation either. It might have happened more than once that summer - all the same week.
How to drive in another state with lyft? I applied a few years ago in Virginia when I was living down there and got denied. I moved back to PA and the online CSR had to change my application state over to PA? How does the interchange work?
Not all money is good money lol. Getting paid $17 to drive 40 miles is not good money lol. U my friend are the reason Uber/Lyft pays us drivers so little
The company will work for you if you let it work but don't work for Uber😂 that makes no sense and you guys need to look up the definition of hater just because somebody don't agree with somebody don't make them a hater.
Hater is a term that Kool Aid drinkers and paid shills use to describe the vast majority of drivers who are fed up with the bad pay that keeps getting cut all the time.
I have 100% across the board on DoorDash have almost 500 orders done and nothing but 5 star reviews and I can also tell you that there is no difference in orders since I first started to now like they say you will with the higher acceptance rate I changed my profile pic to if interested
Dang I must live in the wrong area. Many of my airport rides and regular rides don't tip. I provide water, snacks, personal music, temp control, heated and cooled seats, quiet and lots of leg room car and am very talkative. lol I was flagged for talking too much to the passenger. I must be over doing it for them.
Here in DFW I provide waters mints and I have an octopus tablet- airport rides in Dallas generally tip. But DFW is the second busiest airport in the U.S. ATL IS number 1. Comfort rides were awesome until they combined it with Uber x and share recently. Now I get maybe one or two a day.
0:18 I accept all rides. I have 99% acceptance rate a 1% cancellation rate a 4.96star rating. Apparently I’m the top driver in St. Louis Missouri. Uber has actually called me and asked me how I’m doing it. How I’m made it to the top of the pack in my area. I take all rides everyone else doesn’t want. I do go into bad areas and I don’t mind. I’m not going to treat anybody any different than anyone else. Anyway I have a question? Does anyone know an attorney that would sue valvoline for me and with me. I took my Jeep Grand Cherokee there for a oil change and literally 4 hours later, I’m sitting at the airport needing a new motor. My jeep has 138 thousand miles on it and valvoline refuses to fix it because they are saying I’m an extreme driver because I drive for Uber. I’ve had my oil changed every 8-10 thousand miles, exactly what the dealer says I should do. Valvoline still refuses to fix it unless I can get a mechanic to say on paper that they caused it to do what happened to it. There’s no mechanic that would do that because they can’t prove that they caused the breakdown. They can tell me what happened to it but they can’t prove that valvoline caused it. So I really need an attorney who can help me sue them for not fixing my ride.
His just screwed himself. Never give away what your doing. He won’t now. Drivers in that area will now change there vehicles. Sergio have you heard Uber is testing Uber max in Melbourne. It’s like xl but for 7 riders instead of 6 riders. Can you guys do a video about this new ride option.
It’s not true if anything only 1% of people that can do this will do it. Never worry about that part. There’s definitely enough rides for all of us to eat. Everyone’s strategy is different.
Well your going to make the same hourly pay seems to me Donnie setting up alot plans and hella tips !! The clients know when Tip Donnie and hang and wait time working at an online store can be more than 1500.0 . You think smart get that return trip . If you take everything and go back and add the extra income it pays off 9 out 10 times ❤
Not everyone has money to change to XL. I'm sure gas is way more expensive even $45, your doing that daily 💸. I'm sure maintenance is expensive as well doing all that driving, I've had to replace tires multiple times from flats so I'm sure he's had to with all that driving and tires are expensive on a truck. I don't believe Uber punishes but I do believe there are too many drivers. I'm not hating at all do you , I'm just looking at reality. You guys make these videos and make it sound so great but come on tell the reality of it all. He is literally the reason rates stay low.💯‼️
@SergioSMTMC You make no sense and I ain't gotta prove nothing that's the truth. We can't make money cause people like him take everything and that's why we keep getting paid crap ‼️
Surge is tricky . But if ur in the surge and it goes away sit there and Uber will still give u surge price. If they don’t call them they will compensate u !!’

When I hear about guys like this it just annoys the hell out of me. They’re the reason Uber is lowering our rates.
TRUTH
Your mindset is backwards. Donnie has it right. You don't work for Uber. They aren't setting "our rates." Uber works for you.
@jftrucker2609Uber is a tech company. People who work for Uber include programmers who write apps, marketers who convince customers to use the apps, indian call center employees, among others. Uber doesn’t provide transportation.
Assuming you’re an Uber driver, that means you are a small business owner who has entered into an agreement with Uber to provide you with passengers. Essentially you are running a car service, and Uber is drumming up business for you. It’s a partnership. They offer you contracts to accept or decline. That’s it.
I accept about 97-99% on lyft. In my market its not terrible like some markets where they try to make you drive 40 miles for 17 bucks. I make sometimes almost 2k in 40ish hours on lyft.
Uber tho i refuse to accept everything. I started on uber and it was fantastic. It had streaks, big bonuses, you name it. I was working just on uber and making just as much as lyft.
Now no🤣 you make pennies and the wait time is hilarious. Yet lyft is filled with money.
I have a friend who is a veteran driver. He approached me last week furious about uber. He said hes never waited this long for rides. He only make 80 dollars for 10 rides that day and had enough. I was like dude sign up to lyft. Uber doesn't care anymore.
Lets hope lyft survives otherwise I don't think you will see as many full time drivers around to assist
I’m with Donnie. 2020Expedition. Could run for 400k-500k miles with proper maintenance
Because of drivers like disco Uber is dancing on a market valuation of 65 billion dollars, well at least somebody is dancing .
That's a good thing right? We should all be happy the platform we rely on is thriving.
I made you one years old and still driving in the winter I average about $1000 this summer average of about 500 very happy
Unicorn! Straight unicorn! I salute this guy! I haven’t had that since I started!
Great inspiration! Thank you! 🙏
A random drugs test, he is so happy making cents and dimes. 🤷♂️
Right O Y'all great interveiw Donnie
I had a zero cancellation and UBER put one in there. Not the first time. They told me they're aware of the problem and "thank you for your patience". They wouldn't correct it. This happened the first summer I drove for them. They had me in two different places at the same time. They didn't fix that cancellation either. It might have happened more than once that summer - all the same week.
Uber works for me. 😅that’s a good one ☝️.
Uber Jenn Uber here
Lyft/uber treating drivers as slaves . $82 trip driver got $18 honest to God
Yeah, say yeah I have zero, cancellation 100 % for 8 years month in & out 54,000 trips
ARMO -Avedian you should be Uber or Lyft CEO jan Axber
OMG he started with a brand new charger lmao
Hey Sergio say hi once in a while !!!
On Maui I had a 100% acceptance and 0 Cancel rate and 5 star. But maui is not elsewhere
How to drive in another state with lyft? I applied a few years ago in Virginia when I was living down there and got denied. I moved back to PA and the online CSR had to change my application state over to PA? How does the interchange work?
No such thing as a bad trip. All money is good money. We come here to drive
Money is good but not all money is worth my time. I have other meaningful things to do. Uber. Uber Eats. Doordash.
Not all money is good money lol. Getting paid $17 to drive 40 miles is not good money lol. U my friend are the reason Uber/Lyft pays us drivers so little
The company will work for you if you let it work but don't work for Uber😂 that makes no sense and you guys need to look up the definition of hater just because somebody don't agree with somebody don't make them a hater.
Hater is a term that Kool Aid drinkers and paid shills use to describe the vast majority of drivers who are fed up with the bad pay that keeps getting cut all the time.
1500 my weekly goal out of Houston hard thing is going out 6 to 7 days a week
XL on my area would be nice but people around here would even use it.
I have 100% across the board on DoorDash have almost 500 orders done and nothing but 5 star reviews and I can also tell you that there is no difference in orders since I first started to now like they say you will with the higher acceptance rate I changed my profile pic to if interested
Seattle its stupid to not accept rides. I try to hit 90% acceptance most of the time its accidental to not accept. My cancellation is always 1%
Great job
"It's gotta get better before it gets worse"
Do you also do Uber eats when you drive?
Dang I must live in the wrong area. Many of my airport rides and regular rides don't tip. I provide water, snacks, personal music, temp control, heated and cooled seats, quiet and lots of leg room car and am very talkative. lol I was flagged for talking too much to the passenger. I must be over doing it for them.
@sergioSMTMC1 Milwaukee, WI
Here in DFW I provide waters mints and I have an octopus tablet- airport rides in Dallas generally tip. But DFW is the second busiest airport in the U.S. ATL IS number 1. Comfort rides were awesome until they combined it with Uber x and share recently. Now I get maybe one or two a day.
High mileage and very low pay
0:18 I accept all rides. I have 99% acceptance rate a 1% cancellation rate a 4.96star rating.
Apparently I’m the top driver in St. Louis Missouri. Uber has actually called me and asked me how I’m doing it. How I’m made it to the top of the pack in my area. I take all rides everyone else doesn’t want. I do go into bad areas and I don’t mind. I’m not going to treat anybody any different than anyone else.
Anyway I have a question? Does anyone know an attorney that would sue valvoline for me and with me. I took my Jeep Grand Cherokee there for a oil change and literally 4 hours later, I’m sitting at the airport needing a new motor. My jeep has 138 thousand miles on it and valvoline refuses to fix it because they are saying I’m an extreme driver because I drive for Uber. I’ve had my oil changed every 8-10 thousand miles, exactly what the dealer says I should do. Valvoline still refuses to fix it unless I can get a mechanic to say on paper that they caused it to do what happened to it. There’s no mechanic that would do that because they can’t prove that they caused the breakdown. They can tell me what happened to it but they can’t prove that valvoline caused it. So I really need an attorney who can help me sue them for not fixing my ride.
His just screwed himself. Never give away what your doing. He won’t now. Drivers in that area will now change there vehicles. Sergio have you heard Uber is testing Uber max in Melbourne. It’s like xl but for 7 riders instead of 6 riders. Can you guys do a video about this new ride option.
It’s not true if anything only 1% of people that can do this will do it. Never worry about that part. There’s definitely enough rides for all of us to eat. Everyone’s strategy is different.
Oh this one should be interesting 😂
@SergioSMTMC indeed, cool guy! I can’t agree with everything he says but to each there own!
So he'll take a 20 miles ride for $5? That's just dumb.
How can you take every ride how
Anything less than $1.50 preposterous.
I got 30 tip 50 mile trip. 1hr 30min ride. $70 ride.
Retire 😂
@SergioSMTMC I worked my way back with filters and ended the night with 180 total time online 6hr 29 min
Nyc is kinda a bubble when I think of it
How busy is uber in Mississippi, maybe guy gets a ping every 30 minutes, but good luck Brah 😊
@sergioSMTMC1 okay I’ll, you ma hero Brah! 💪🏾
Mississippi pay rates for Uber X have long been among the lowest in the US. Donnie Disco himself admitted that Uber X is crap in Mississippi.
What’s Donnie TH-cam channel
I'd never use auto accept.
Stupid is as stupid does!!! He probably has the app set to auto accept. They don't pay enough for me to accept 100%....
Well your going to make the same hourly pay seems to me Donnie setting up alot plans and hella tips !! The clients know when Tip Donnie and hang and wait time working at an online store can be more than 1500.0 . You think smart get that return trip . If you take everything and go back and add the extra income it pays off 9 out 10 times ❤
Not everyone has money to change to XL. I'm sure gas is way more expensive even $45, your doing that daily 💸. I'm sure maintenance is expensive as well doing all that driving, I've had to replace tires multiple times from flats so I'm sure he's had to with all that driving and tires are expensive on a truck. I don't believe Uber punishes but I do believe there are too many drivers. I'm not hating at all do you , I'm just looking at reality. You guys make these videos and make it sound so great but come on tell the reality of it all. He is literally the reason rates stay low.💯‼️
@SergioSMTMC You make no sense and I ain't gotta prove nothing that's the truth. We can't make money cause people like him take everything and that's why we keep getting paid crap ‼️
😢
He’s not far from me I’m in Panama City, Florida
Suburban only vehicle that can hold this much tonnage of fat and weight while on the road
The karaoke uber lady does not have 40k rides. She is also the one that put a black mark on the uners in biloxi by bad mouthing t-pain on Twitter
Larry the cable guy fell on a hard times
Uber very bad😢
Uber took my surge away this morning.that's a new low for uber
What do you mean, “took my surge away?” Do you mean there was no surge in your area this morning?
Surge is tricky . But if ur in the surge and it goes away sit there and Uber will still give u surge price. If they don’t call them they will compensate u !!’
Again if ur in a surge or drive to one close Uber will pay u for next pick up the surge price
My husband is 77 driving every day
Hey u guys have a great weekend
