I treat all delivery orders the same:
1. Always take pictures with "leave at door" deliveries. Include house address or apartment number. ALWAYS.
2. Send pre-scripted text message with picture: "This is Vee with (insert company here). I Just delivered your order. Enjoy! 🙂"
Works like a charm. 😁
Love the pre-scripted message idea Vee, dare I say a great POWER tip!
When you say “take a picture” is that an additional picture to the one on the Uber driver app or just the picture they have you take from Uber app?? Thanks!
How do we do the pre scripted message thx
Thank you!!
My pre-scripted text message is “Delivery Mission Complete!” As if It’s a GTA side mission lmao
My golden rule is never take anything where I am not making at least $2 a mile. So if I get a 10 mile order it's paying at least $20 or it's automatically declined.
Smart idea.. I was thinking the exact thought process 👌🏿😊
Kinda hard when all the deliveries now our set at 3 dollars and we don't even know what our tips gonna be
@@stephaniehachey151 yea i dont know what that guy is talking about.. you're not going to make 20 for 10 miles.
I feel that. They sometimes send you 7 mile orders for less than 15
James W Bates, so question for you. I just signed up for Uber eats about 2 weeks ago. I have gone out twice so far. Twice now in the two times I have done it I got a delivery for a half hour away. So total time would be an hour of driving, half hour there and half hour back. That's even depending on traffic too! I'm just wondering how much could I take if I want to do that delivery? How much is a good payout? Also gas here in my state/city is $6.50
so also keep in mind of that. I just sometimes don't know if it's worth it to go all that way......
I love delivering for Uber Eats... I went in with very low expectations about it and I've enjoyed it ever since
How much do you make per week ?
@Will I make $200 CND in 8 hours
One other thing that you should do with your picture confirmation is to include the house or apartment number in the picture
Love this advice Robert!
I do this whenever possible. If it's an actual home residence and the address number is 12ft away from the door/entryway then I don't worry about it.
Me too
Good idea. I also just include a distinct item in the picture. The doormat is always a good item to include, or a table or chair
Or at least enough of the door/unique items that it is clear it is their residence
one of the best/worst feeling of doing uber eats for me is seeing the tips roll in later on.
this is super facts 💯
I messaged all my customers at the resturant to see if they needed any extra dipping sauces or napkins. There wasn't a single order i didn't have a tip
Your a female tho much easier but happy you’ve been having a good experience
@@Eaq4O4 damn r/toasted
@@Eaq4O4 lol you are right. Females gets better treatment/pay in service industry. Talk about pay gap!
Great idea!
I eat half of the food on the way but still get a Tip 😂😂😂
I just did my first three hours of driving for Uber Eats here in Pittsburgh. Not too bad, $73.
You're lucky you're in a busy city! I didn't even make that much on my first day. 😔 It seems like I should go to a busier city but I really don't have the time to do that because I have another job
Yeah made around there on my first 3 hours too
My tip: night drivers should have a high power flashlight to look for addresses on buildings from their car.
I use a 3500 lumen spotlight at night to do that. I had a guy ask me 'is that actually installed in your truck?' I bought it at walmart for $35. It's a stanley I believe. Found in the auto section. It is rechargeable too!
I actually like to shine it at the windows of the house briefly while scanning so that they can see that I have arrived.
Definitely an option to consider
Definitely a necessity right now during winter. Can't believe how many people do not turn on their lights.
@@djljnitro yeah but you're also using a truck to deliver
@@Tinman710 ?!? 🤷♀️
I've been a delivery driver for 10 years (Dominos) and recently got into gig driving and I NEVER realized this about google maps! I live in an area where lots of houses don't have house numbers and there have been times I've had to start knocking on doors until I found the right one. So aggravating! Thanks for the tips!
Pizza hutt driver here. There's a special place in hell for people with homes with no numbers on it.
Rofl yes. The deepest of the pit for those people.
I just click on the house number and it give me a option to look at Apple Maps and then I stop the directions and it shows me a picture e of the house. Haven’t got to that part of the video but it’s very useful
I had one of those stacked today, that let me see both drop offs worked great cause the 2nd one was right the way I wanted to head back home with.
Ok so two things about Ubereats map....1) I've noticed that the map will pop up exactly how you last looked at it. Problem is if you have a delivery that is not within the map, you can't see it. What I do is zoom out the map far enough so the area I want to deliver in is taking up the top half of my screen. Then when I get pinged, I can see the whole map. Drawback is sometimes it is a bit far but I'm familiar enough with my area that I can tell whether the area it is taking me is good or not. Side note: It is a pain but you will have to zoom out your screen each time you finish a delivery so it will show the map you want it to show you each time. 2) The blackout screen....I figured out that happens when the delivery is outside the area that your map is set to. This is useful if you zoomed your map out because if you get the blackout then you know it is way outside your set map boundary.
I leaned all the stuff just by trial and error and quite a lot of frustration with the limitations of the Ubereats app.
Thank you for sharing.
You are a g
It’s not limitations of the app it’s a deliberate situation they put you in. They don’t care if you take it or not, they will or won’t capitalize on it without consequence. They only want to make money and have put all their efforts into securing their cut. Treat them accordingly
In the notes section for the leave at the door orders I always say thank you for ordering, have a great day! If somebody says hand it to me but then they put leave at the door I take a picture in my phone and it picture of the address and put them together that way I have proof that I dropped it off at that person’s house.
I try not to hand it to customer if I can too many of them come out with no mask. I text them at door.
I have definitely gotten orders where I couldn’t see the map and ended up traveling WAY further than I wanted.
Same here Mercedes, this can be unplanned but I always make sure to complete them if I have already picked up the order so my completion rate doesn't go down. I'm sure you do too - thank you for watching!
Happened to me just last week. I was en route to pick up frozen yogurt to then drop off at a house 8 minutes away. It popped up with adding another drop off from the frozen yogurt place and I quickly accepted because I figured it would be in the same city. Two orders, same city, piece of cake.
Well. Turns out second order was FOUR CITIES away. I didn’t notice until I dropped off first order.
I did it of course because I didn’t want to cancel and figured no one from 4 cities away would order froyo but man I was soooo heated I could feel the fire in my face lol. I felt betrayed. But it’s on me to pay attention. So I’ve just learned my lesson. Not the end of the world.
Audio?
@@Nick__E2 same thing happened to me luckily I made 30 bucks on the fare and 20 on a tip so it was worth it
me too
I like the google streets view idea ... it's frustrating when you can't find the location of the delivery but the Uber app reads " you've arrived "
Thank you for that one.
Nice video sir 👍
Yes what a valuable video, this week coming up will be my second week delivering. You have been quite the teacher.Thank you❤
I'm on my 3rd day delivering and these videos are like gold. I just subscribed!!
I want to say, you have saved my life with the $1 per mile tip. Thanks.
Indeed one of the toughest lessons of all to learn I only do three dollars now really
@@truthclipsforhumanity8017 3 dollars a mile? I do two sometimes one when it’s slow
Mike, love that extra large catering bag that I got from your Amazon page!
Awesome glad it’s working for you!
I used your advice to create a profile message to increase tips. I also like the idea of placing the hot/cold bag in the picture. I will use that tomorrow
I start tonight. Your videos have been so helpful ⭐️
The issue is sometimes the customer will meet you and you can’t take a picture anymore. I mean ive taken a picture of the building but that’s not proof enough. Thankfully I haven’t had crooked customers who lie
Tell them you need a confirmation photo of the delivery at the location. You're holding the food, don't hand it to them until you take the photo.
I had one on my first day of driving she was claiming I didn't leave her food at building E apt 1 cmon I clearly did and took a picture of it she called me 5 mins after drop off I was so confused I told her I'd come back in 15 mins I called her 5 times she didn't answer so I said fu k it and went onto the next order
Thanks for this tip. I’ve had a few where they say leave at door but then come outside and take it from me before I can take a photo. I’ll start taking a photo regardless.
Stedfast, I had that problem yesterday. I accepted two orders. Dropped off the first one and took a picture. That was fine. When on my way to drop off the food at the second house. Then do somehow the app didn't let me take a picture. I selected a delivered it but no take pictures. I said to myself that's weird. But then I got paid after all. I found that to be weird
I’m so happy I found your page! I’m in Pittsburgh, just started Uber Eats & DoorDash😬Thank you for the tips!
hey Mike I'm about a week away from starting my venture with uber eats and door dash I'm 56 years old and I'm a bit nervous but I got this thank you for your channel and for the next week I'll be binge watching your videos👍🙂
Google Street View...great tip!Thanks for sharing.
The blackout screen you mention at 7:37 happened to me today for the first time. I immediately updated the app in the IOS app store as there was one available and the blackout screen never happened again.
Aloha Mike! I drive on the island of Oahu, Hawaii. One great thing about here is that it's a small island. I hardly ever get orders more than 6-7 miles. I believe that's one thing that allows drivers here to make even more per hour.
that sounds so nice
Never had the blackout screen on my LG! Thanks for the tips though!
I'm definitely going to start having the bag in the confirmation photo!
On uber eats I stopped taking stacked orders all together no matter how good they look. They don't tell you anything about the second order and in my experience it always sucks. The last one I took the second order was a pickup at a different restaurant which always adds extra time then the first order was only.5 miles away and the second one was really far into an area that has no restaurant's so it's double mileage and I'd have to hike all the way back to where I was to continue working.
Another thing I did learn though from messing around in the customer app is people can get much cheaper fees if they allow uber to tack their order onto an existing order. So they know it's a stack, and unlike doordash where you can take stacks in any order you want, you have to take the uber stack in order because the first person is paying more.
I've picked up 2 orders before as well, the first one was close, but the second one was 30 minutes out. I was pissed
@@nataliemonroe3031 so Uber eats only shows part of the trip? Sounds very deceptive. My neighbor is doing DD. She said app shows your location and the restaurant and customer location. Is Uber not the same?
The google maps hack definitely helps!
Yes here in Belgium driving for Deliveroo u can see how far your trip will be not by Uber you only see the restaurant after sliding go to deliver then you get the address for me not a big problem I use a motorcycle but people with E-bike's needs to see how far the ride is to plan this according battery mileage
Thanks for the info..just started uber eats today. Your videos are helping me through. THANK YOU!
Mike the hot/cold bag picture w/delivery 📸 awesome tip
Love your videos Mike. You have helped my deliveries in Alaska alot. How do you feel about Order and Pay orders on Uber Eats as far as is it worth it? We get a lot of those here.
Using street view hack is really awesome.. 👍🏻👍🏻
Hi thank you for all your contacts you’ve helped me out a lot question for you when you get to a restaurant to pick up your food how do you tell the uber app that you have arrived because a lot of times the navigation still has me not at the store location
I just started delivering with uber eats this video was very helpful thank you
I like that last tip using street view. I had a delivery that it would be helped
I love other peoples insight and wisdom. Thanks for sharing!!
I've gotten big payouts on some McDonalds orders. I get white outs when it flashes. I can't see where it is going, but I started to learn where the streets are.
Never seen a blackout screen however I just started back up since March 2020. I love the new updates to the app
do you do the stack orders ? do you think they’re worth it ?
If your car has a GPS screen on the dash, you can scroll down after you have arrived and it will show you a picture of the house/apartment building for confirmation. It can still sometimes be 'off' a little, but confirming addresses is really important-best to do it several times for clarification.
100% agree Slick - it's usually so accurate that it may be the house next door to the one that appears on your GPS. Usually, it's surprisingly accurate, even in the city!
Thx a lot. I will defo try some of your advices. I am in Prague but I think those will be applicable anyway especially last one.
That’s a great idea to include the bag in the pic! & Usually if i leave a pic, i don’t leave a note, thinking it’s too much but maybe it would be better to do more than less. I also really don’t like how u cant zoom out at all. Another thing is i REALLY wish u we would offer is not being black themed constantly (kinda like how spotify is too). a lot of apps came out with light & dark mode with iphones & apps were to now have a setting where u can switch it to change automatically between light & dark mode with ur phones settings! i find it way more difficult to read on screen writing when Ubers theme is always black on black.
Thanks for the tips!
Glad to help Stephanie!
Most of these tips apply to Uber Eats Taiwan where I deliver at. One thing different here is some traditional shops always make you wait around while they cook the food because they want it fresh as can be, and canceling that order would mean a possible wait time of 30 minutes to get the next order. About 1000+ scooter Uber Eats drivers in my city of 4 million.
Mentiroso.
🚗 I built my own 4 wheel cart it has lights and used 1 inch insulation that surrounds my delivery bag . Frame is pvc . Took my passenger seat out of my car 😂😀I have Uber eats sign on front of cart . This cart has increased tips tremendously 😊For night deliveries, food is at door with light beaming on food and cart is to the left for a picture perfect “ turnover”
That's a great idea with the hot n cold bag in the pic. As for the first pic something I always try to do is get a photo of the door or address for proof of delivery to right location. The first pic was not very good you could easily say you didn't get the food.
I'm just getting started. I'm delivering riding a EUC. ✌️
Question: Do you prefer Uber navigation Or Google map and does Google maps use more MB ?????
Haven’t seen the blackout screen but have had an issue when I hit the decline button, the decline button and order info box will turn black and won’t go away. Also the audio alert will keep chiming and I will have to close the app and restart it.
I love 💕 it when the customer gives ya an extra tip 40 years in restaurants and customer service I was Lala
Great video Mike 👌is the distance displayed just from the restaurant to the customer, or does it include your current location? So your distance to the restaurant and then to the customer?
It's displayed from the restaurant to the customer. never does your location of where you at currently. So yes the distance from the restaurant and then to the customer It shows how many miles
No kidding, yesterday I received a hit for $20 for 49.9 miles! Insanity! lol 😂
Wow that’s insane!!!
That’s basically paying to drive
@@YourDriverMike exactly
NOOOOO!!! WOW!!
I'm in Tri cities Wa. And there are a lot of $5 to $8 dollar orders from fast food places. Any place that pays over $10 dollars is usually fancier places like restaurants. I usually average $20 dollars and hour.
Does the time include the time it takes to get to the restaurant
Keep up the good work! I haven't had the blackout screen. I run Android but I have had it where I decline the order, the green order screen is frozen and fixed on my screen, while in the background behind it i can use my phone as is. It's annoying I have to restart my phone. It's happened where I'm in the middle of trying to take a confirmation photo in the rain. Super annoying.
Thank you for watching!
Got me with the cold + hot bag in the pic ☺️👍🏼
Most Uber drivers who normally drive people, not food, reserve the ability to pick up food deliveries through Uber Eats. Most of them don't have totes, delivering cold food especially in winter regions. That is why I include a pic of my tote in Delivery pic since day 1.. so my customers know their food was delivered as warm as possible.
Mike...drivers should carry their hot bags, yes...but before they exit their car, they should write their name, date, customers name, on paper...stick it to hot bag. So when you take a pic of the food delivered...you also include the hot bag w the note on it. This will prove you dropped off the food, and have both drivers name, and customers name...plus date. Then drivers grab bag w note on it...start another order...
Taking pictures of food proves nothing I try to take pictures of address or appartment #. The hot and cold bag in picture is irrelevant. Proof of delivery is what is important.
Thank you Mike
Hey Mike what's does the grey cloud on the ubereats driving app mean.
It seems that UBER Eats picture confirmation includes a GPS tag. Helps in conflict resolution.
I’ve never ever taken the bag to the door unless it’s heavy rain (5x one day). It’s tropical here!
With UE I am having a problem sometimes when picking up at the restaurant it will not recognize I am at the restaurant. Sometimes it says I am still out on the main road! Sometimes within a few feet even when I am standing inside. I am OS and have precise location on. Any tips? By the way, yours and your brother’s videos have been a huge help to me. Thanks!
Happened to me once all day super annoying alerts lol but next day after restarting my phone and app it worked again.
Here's a tip for Uber drivers. Including Uber Eats. Don't quit your other job! You're going to be surprised, and how easy it is to get deactivated. And they're not going pinpoint what it was you did..
I would be making a lot more money on uber but i stopped taking double orders for over a year now. The fact that you cant see both pick ups and drop offs just kills me. I only do doubles if i see the miles are under 4 miles and time is under 20 minutess.
Great point, I’ve definitely seen this as a driver as well and it’s challenging when it comes to strategy
Your awesome! Thanks. Does anyone know if there's a way to STOP accidently accepting orders if I am texting and an order request pops up?? I've accepted horrible orders like this. HELP!!
All I can think of is close the app while you’re texting. I accepted a 4$ order when it was 12 miles away.
Drive smarter also; sometimes, the Uber navigation App will take you an extra 2-3 miles from one destination to the other, sometimes doing a U turn will save you the 2-3 miles, at the end of the week, you will save a lot of mileage, gas and time, just by being a bit street savvy.
I ended up getting two Uber eats bags. They’re pretty big. McDonald’s bags fit in them, but they’re too tall to close up.
I will definitely be including my hot bag in the pic from now on, i always use it and Id hate to lose a tip or even lose an increase in tip because the customer assumed it was my fault if it gets there cold
It couldn't hurt! Thanks for watching Y C
So i got two questions where can I get this hot or cold bag? And once i take the picture of the delivery including the hot/cold bag you take the bag with you or leave it?
@@gokuson0557 you can buy them on Amazon or eBay…. take the bag with you you’ll need it for the other deliveries. You dont have to take a pic with it. The most important part is showing up to the restaurant with the bag
I thought about bringing my hot bag to the door but I don't know if I should do that. I kind of just want my hot bag to stay in my car because I bought the bigger kind. So should I take the picture of the food while it's in the bag and then just drop it off?
@@boohere2 I think that you should take the food in the hot bag to the door because sometimes you don’t always know how long it has been sitting at the restaurant. That way if it’s cold and the customer saw you not have one they cant say it was your fault. Plus I believe it is policy with all apps to have one. Id rather be safe than sorry. Plus it shows them that you care.
A customer once told me “wow you’re the only Ive seen with a hot bag” and I’m sure others do but customers just assume you didn’t have one
i have had blackout screen before. your not alone
Thanks Mike... I am a new driver (I quit my 9-5 to do this) and you are teaching me lots of tips. I am using all you ideals and I see great progress. Can I make a request? Will you do a video on how you do Uber Eats and Door Dash on one of your shift? I need some tips in how to do this. Please Help! Chuck
Exactly i was thinking sams bro
how is it going !
Been getting the blackout too
Apple Maps is better for delivery since the maps show the individual homes with pin drops while google maps you just have to guess if there are no numbers on the homes
Wow they really rip you off in US, I do uber eats on my Bike in New Zealand , usually get around $6+ , addons usually $4, typically if you get a "stacked" order they are super close together i never had a situation where they are far apart (on average per order) actually mcdonalds etc usually pay the most in terms of upfront fee, however we are not a tip economy so that doesnt affect me in terms of order value. last week i made $535 net fare + $62 promotions(boost etc) + $41.03 in tips, total $639 (95 total deliveries) .. all on my bike (no gas costs or insurance etc) in my spare time not bad! , oh and on average its taking me about 10mins per order to collect and drop off (since on bike i dont go too far) i dont do any over 15mins long in terms of distance , none up a hill etc... so i decline a decent amount of orders .
Wow you get great miles per tips in Pittsburgh. I live in Tampa and most of these orders are like $2-$8 for 15 miles.....that’s ridiculous. Great video. Did you see your tips increase when you started using the “hot & cold bag”? Wondering if it’s worth the investment.
Hi Stephano, some customers won't see you are even using it because of the contactless drop offs like you mentioned. However, if you're driving UE perhaps you could have a pre-typed message you can include in the notes of your drop offs saying, "Thank you for your order! I used a insulated food bag to keep your food hot and fresh! Thank you in advance for any tips" the last part about tips you can choose to add or not, but reminding them you are using a bag could help with tips. Tips are a bit unpredictable but this would let people know you go above and beyond! Definitely worth the investment.
I’m in Vegas and that’s about the same that I’m getting. I have ventilated hot and cold bags. I also invested in redoing my trunk making it filled with organizers for each order and an area for the drinks so they don’t spill over. I always write a drop off note in the all to them and wish them a great day. I’m never late and very friendly. I feel it doesn’t matter what you do or how you do it people are greedy and don’t want to spend their money on things other than what they want. Just an opinion.
I got a blackout screen yesterday on one order. I thought it might be because I was on another app when the request came in.
Whenever I get orders i look at the amount and how long it will take for that order to be completed for example if I see $7.59 and it will take 15 minutes then I’ll accept it because it’s a short distance and saves your time and gas and you’ll get another order after
What if it’s an hour order paying 25?
Same. I try to average 18 to 25 bucks an hour
So on UE what do you do when it says leave at door and the customer comes outside to get it? Do you take a pic of the customer holding the food or do you skip the picture and in the notes type handed to customer?
I tell the customer i need to take a confirmation picture with the food in the customer hand and then i got payed
Yeah let them know they can wait 1 second.
That’s true on Uber drive cannot zoom the map and sometimes pick up wrong direction where don’t want to go
Hi. If I don't take the pictures of delivery
What happens? Because with Just-Eat you don't need to take pictures.
Thanks
Hi mate. How come in the US 🇺🇸 it shows the amount you will be paid. In the England we are not shown that on the app when you get a delivery request. 😒 how can we change this. any advice? Cheers
Thank you. 😊
So I have a question I am a Uber eats driver but I am also an Amway independent business owner. My question is do you think it’ll be OK or in good taste to leave a business card with a delivery that I drop off?
Add drink carriers to your Amazon page.
I've never had the problem that you have with maps. I can always see the entire route but I've got an android
When I can’t see the destination I swipe quick to maps enter the street and it shows me on maps
I swear customers will mark it not delivered if you so much as put it a single step too far from the door 😂 I don't know who they think they are.
learned a lot of this video again. My black screen is more like I can see the map but I can not see any other info
Glad to help! I see you commenting on all the vids 🙌🏼
@@YourDriverMike hahaha. Learn some every time 😂
I got blackout screens too
On your comments on the black screen, I have gotten this multiple times and somewhat frequently have restart the app because of this and other bugs. Way buggier than postmates was.
The McDonald's wherr i live is always taking care of several other drive thru customers while forcing delivery drivers to wait for extended times. Usually good payouts, but difficult to make on-time deliveries as a result.
*where
Hi Keith thank you for watching, my experience is similar. Good payouts but long drive through waits. I avoid McDonald's in my area of Pittsburgh because of this. This may not be the case for everyone, so I'd encourage others to accept orders from McDonald's and see if their experience is similar or not.
I still accept McDonald's orders and if it goes past pickup time, i always text the customer and let them know the order will be ready soon. Best practices are to slide upon arrival and put any comments pertinent to the wait at the restaurant. If the wait exceeds 10 minutes, then it doesn't count against the dasher.
@@keithgibson5272 I totally agree - but if it's a rush period and I know traditionally I've had to wait 10+ minutes, I am going to accept another restaurant good points though Keith
Yes i get it all the time also sometimes the Uber eats app asks me to take a picture and my app crashes and I have to literally close the app and open it again I’ve lost good order because this happens to me
Thanks for the heads up 👊🏼
HEY MAN I REALLY LIKE UR VIDEOS! JUST A QUESTION, AFTER UR DELIVERY DO U GO BACK TO HOTSPOT? OR STAY WHERE U ARE AND WAIT FOR AN ORDER? DO U TURN OFF UR CAR? ETC..THANKS MAN!
Thanks for watching, it depends. If I'm in a known busy area yes I'll just stay in the immediate area and wait (ideally turn the engine off but that's weather dependent). If I'm not in an ideal zone I'll drive to a hotspot but like to keep that commute to 5 minutes or less.
can I use waze while
delivering? like just type the name of food pickup spot, go and pickup. then type address of customer on waze and go deliver? or do ineed to have the uber eats app open the whole time?
I just started Uber Eats Monday and I get where you’re coming from as not being able to zoom in/out on the map when you’re debating on accepting an order. I hate that you can’t do that and I hope Uber fixes that problem. It makes more sense if you’re able to zoom in and out so you know where you’re actually going.
Another issue I had was when I was picking up an order, the app didn’t recognize I was actually at the restaurant, then when I started delivery, I kept getting an error message. So I had to make the delivery and try taking a photo but it was still giving me an error then call customer support. It was annoying but I still got paid. Unfortunately idk if I even got a tip or had it counted towards the points to become an Uber Pro.
I started Uber eats about 2 weeks ago. Only delivered twice now on two different days. I know I can't zoom in really either on the orders, but I can see if it's going to another city or how many miles it's going to take. So that's nice. I had actually a horrible experience in my first time delivering on my last order. The order was a half hour away and I got to the place. Only I didn't have cell phone reception. So I couldn't even contact the customer or take a picture of the food. It actually I found the person though. It was hard because it was at a hotel. The person did land up tipping me though so was grateful for that. Maybe you can answer this question though. Obviously you know people and myself get orders that are half hour away from the location of the restaurant. What is a good payout to accept? Gas prices here are $6.50 a gallon. I just want to know a good payout so it's worth me going that distance.
I have iOs and the blackout has not happened to me but I’ve had a terrible confirmation screen it wouldn’t let me type anything at all for like a month. Uber in my area just gives low payouts for everything.
& this was back in 2018 when I was in LA&OC area
Yep the Uber screen covers the whole route! And you can't move the screen to see anything, it like freezes up or something. Just change it back to the old acceptance screen imo
How do you change it back?
Thanks for the heads up, looks like this is pretty common and it makes it hard to strategize as a driver
