Blood would upset me too, but the other fluids are just occupational hazards we all have to deal with at some point.
Stay positive guys.
...Are you even real?

So if $24 in fares (which is NOT $20 btw) is good in Dallas, what's average in Dallas?
I swift kick in the nuts, a few dirty bills tossed on the ground next to our crumpled body, and a demand for a thank you from Uber for the privilege of using their app.

Fuzzer, I do agree with the OP about being positive. However in a different sort of way. I'm "positive"ly certain that the OP is either one of the forum members using an additional nic just to have some fun with us, or another newbie who has yet to be truly housebroken with uber.

If it is the latter of the two, I think we should allow the OP to enjoy the uber pinkcloud they are on, cause it won't last. I am POSITIVE about that.

Take charge of your success
You can't take charge of your success when you have a rapist company like Uber cutting your rates every six months. Rate cuts equal less money for the drivers. Uber can lie to us all they want about this. They do it all the time. No tipping policy does not allow you to take charge of your business. You can't "take charge of your Uber success" when Uber forces you with threat of deactivation to pick up minimum fares that equate to $3 per ride.

$24 in fares is not $20 for you by the way. It's $18 after safe rider rip off and 20%. Then take out gas, depreciation and other expenses and you're a few pennies past minimum wage. Wow...minimum wage.

You were lucky, had you picked up one more ping that was 15 minutes away and had to wait for five minutes and drive them the minimum distance, your minimum wage, big payoff would have gotten depleted down to about $5 per hour. Uber sucks. All the feel good posts in the world will not change this fact. You took a chance and got lucky you didn't get screwed. Most people who log on get raped.

There seem to be a lot of complaints here on this forum. I just wanted to share my day today.

I wasn't planning on driving because I was scheduled to work my other job (server). My boss sent me home during the lunch shift because it was slow. I marched right out of there and said you know what - I'm gonna turn on the Uber app.

That is exactly what I did. I drove the downtown lunch hour from 12-2 and made over $20 just like that. Very busy with office workers using Uber to go to lunch and back.

After that, I went to Top Golf. It was almost like I was hitting free balls with the extra money I made!

Now that's what I call making the system work for me :)

Man get lost!!! How's that for encouragement?

Im sure the IRS wants their share from that whopping $20..
Exactly, apparently the OP hasn't heard of self employment tax and income tax. Nor has she heard of gas, car devaluation, maintenance, wear and tear, car washes and RISK. Nor can she do math. $24 minus 20 % is $19.20.

Wait til she has to pay that $1000 deductible on an insurance claim.

Uber On!
