I commute to a farm 100 miles south of my home a lot and whenever I get a ride going that way I can make close to 100$ or more if it is XL. I wish there was a way to filter out all the short rides and only be notified of 45 minute plus rides, so I can focus on other things more while waiting for...

Do youn use to hate it when you drive 5 miles and 9 minutes to pick up some loser in an apartment complex maze who shows up late and weights 2.5x of a normal person? Then as you slide the pick up tab, it says 1.7 miles and takes 4 minutes to a Happy Donut shop. Your car is now slanted while...

Given the migration to upfront prices/fares, both veterans and newbies alike are now declining/ignoring the relatively longer trip requests because of the considerably reduced margins on those trips relative to shorter trips. Surely riders/customers have begun to "feel" the pain from this...

It's $0.53 per mile and $34 per hour, excluding an estimated return deadhead of about 25 miles before you'd get a ping. The pickup location is fairly rural and the drop-off location is extremely rural. But close to the interstate on both ends. This was offered at 7:30pm on a Friday evening in...

Talked with a CSR about getting reimbursed for picking up a rider that was a long distance pick up. She paid me out the $5 but said that it will no longer be an option. I responded that I guess I am not picking up anyone who is considered a long distance pick up anymore. For a minute I...

Hello Everyone ! My question is i live in Faifield County CT and i get a lot of trips to JFK/LAGUARDIA and Newark airports . They are all good pay but i don't get paid for my way back home. I know for JFK and Laguardia for return you need a nyc tlc license. But what about Newark? or any other...

So I received a pax yesterday that was headed to Newark Airport . And hour drive from where I picked him up ... he told me which terminal he was going to and me never being to the airport I had no clue what he was talking about but I went with it and made it to the airport on time for his flight...

New to the forum. I live in the outskirts of the Chicago Suburbs. I just started doing uber eats like a week ago. I don't have a problem with driving 15-20 min to pick up food, but I think its kind of unfair that I don't get compensated at least a little by driving 5-6 miles there. If I'm...

Hi, Was 5 mins from home with a last ride in the car when I was pinged. (late evening.) Feeling a little greedy I accepted (while driving.) It was below freezing in Icy conditions... actually quite treacherous. (thought it was a quick ride.) Nope. I tried to call the ride and ask if...

After getting all X rides throughout the day, and not much XL, the evening falls, and I head to edge of 1.4 boost zone and turn to only XL mode not expecting much, and giving me some time to take a much needed nap. 10 minutes later, I get a long distance XL request at 1.4 boost, where is this...

well, I'm planning on being out of town for the weekend and holiday so I figured I'd work a few hours I normally don't on the weekdays to make up for that missed time and caught the longest trip to date in the process lol Picked up at pdx and took passengers to tillamook. Probably wouldn't have...

Saw this just now on the CBS2 news. Found full article on wapo. ******** Uber from Chicago to Buffalo: $900. Friendship between Bills player and driver: Priceless. By Marissa Payne June 7 Buffalo Bills cornerback Shareece Wright found himself in a bind on Sunday night. He badly wanted to...

Wow. Just when I thought uber couldn't make it's airport queue any more inefficient, they go and do this, and completely make me reevaluate my driving tenure with them. I have been doing primarily airport rides for the last 6 months. About three months ago, I figured out that if you set a...

Somewhat new Lyft driver here with one question: Is there anyway to see passenger destination BEFORE accepting the ride? I was stuck with 2 rides that took me 100mi from my home. And of course no requests heading back so that duration/mileage was on me.

I had a request to go to Flushing Queens from the quality Inn. It was very sketch and appeared to be someone associated with either human trafficking or drugs. I didnt take it.

I usually don't drive on Sundays but since there was a guarantee, I figured why not. Started at about Noon and got my first ride from Vancouver to the downtown Portland. I figired it was gonna be slow, and I was right. I drove around for a little bit then parked. I got tired of sitting at that...

Let me know you guys opinions. Spent about $70 on gas & tolls. Trip was from Wilton, CT at 5:18 and got home at 12pm

I like to work really early in the morning and start on the far west suburbs. This morning I got a request 27 minutes away in DT Mpls. Rejected Then one 22 minutes away...rejected. They cant expect me to accept something like that can they?

Now correct me if I'm wrong but from my understanding a surge means it's not enough drivers out to meet the demands of the riders? I'm asking since today while I was out...I would constantly be dead in the middle of a surging area but only get requests from outside of the surging area....How...
