First mistake is signing up for uber eats - it is a $10 an hour gig and you have to pay for your gas and depreciation on your car

At the present rates it is not economically viable

If you want to do food delivery try Grub Hub - they gurantee a min of $10 and hour and with everyone tipping you could net closer to $20 per hour if you get a good shift

Uber eats is a disaster for the drivers

It is shameful

It was good pay in the begnining but now it is not worth it -
 
Uber made uber eats into total garbage - who would have imagined food delivery in the winter time rain and snow with no tips ? "Tipping is not needed
" The selfish prick customers are very happy to say " Thanks Bud" and slam the door in your face.

After about 100 deliveries it dawned on me that they should slam the door on my face - I was a fool. Anyone doing uber eats is being used, abused and deserves zero respect from any one

No more uber eats for me at any price
 
I guess you didn't read exactly what I said - I never said I made 200 dollars I said if you get out at 8 and go to 6 you can make 200-go back and read my post again- you have to know what area is the best area to stay in - a lot of times you will get a request and before you get to the restaurant you get a second request so you will pick up 2 orders at once which is like getting paid double for 1 trip - uber also has had promotions and they do pay 1.1 to 1.4 the last 2 weeks- most of the uber eats trips in Fairfield are to the university and yes they are 6 or 7 dollars but you are done with them in 10 minutes - the. One particular restaraunt on 2074 black rock Turnpike does a ton of uber orders so I just stay near there and probably do anywhere from 8-10 requests which is not even 20 or 25 % of their requests plus I get many other request all inthe same area- the girl actually showed me all the uber orders on Saturday - she scrolled thru the tablet and there must have been at least 50 and maybe 75 - I did not count them- you will have to go strong all day to get to 200 but I promise you I will take a screen shot for you and anyone else that says I'm BS- I did passengers for 2 months and that is nothing but BS-you wind up with so many dead miles when you get a 30 dollar fare and then you drive 30 miles home with no one but yourself - I can tell you I did 548 last week in UberEATS and 3 days totaled 100 dollars - Fairfield is a very good area for UberEATS plus I no longer live there but I lived there for 25 years and I know my way around there like the back of my hand

Read again - I said you can do 200 dollars in 10 hours - when I do make 200 in one day you will be the first to see it- not a 10 dollar an hour gig not for me - Fairfield Ct is a very good area for uber eats especially with Fairfield university - many deliveries there and not doing a lot of driving 3 1/2 mikes back and forth to Black Rock Turnpike - I like uber eats - I hated picking up passengers -lot of drawbacks there - not knowing where your going and so many dead head miles back home - tried it for 2 months and i will never have another person in my car plus there can be liability issues with passengers as everyone is sue happy today - someone slips or falls getting out of your car could result in a lawsuit - I'm not even talking about an accident which of course you could be liable for
If you have an accident you are not liable for anything that is why Uber has 1,000,000 of insurance on each ride
 
Okay what you have to do is get a hold of those jackasses in support and they are jackasses - I told them I no longer wanted to do pax just UberEATS and after 3 messages and 5 days later one of them finnally got back to me - he told me to sign off and sign back on and when I did the were 2 settings now for my car - the regular one I had and the new one got uber eats so that's the only one i sign on -they have to do it or you can go to the green light and they can also do it I'm sure - I had 3 really unpleasant experiences with pax - the last one I was in Fairfield ct and I got a request at 5 00pm and this guy wanted to go to the middle of Manhattan and went nuts when I told him I couldn't do it - very rude and I pissed him off even more when I told him that most people that go to Manhattan take a godamn train to grand central- ihad enough of that BS - it was probably a 60 dollar ride and at that time of the day it could have been a 3-4 hour round trip- the food I like much better because you know your not going far plus a lot less dead miles - I have it down pretty good in Fairfield ct where I hang in the university and get a lot of requests from the post road or black rock Turnpike which is like a mile or Mike and a half either way - most of the fares are 6-8 dollars but your not going far at all- I prefer it over pax- I'll never do that again - good luck
$60 from fairfield too midtown - no way Jose - I make $58 from Greenwich to midtown - figure $75 -- 80 from Fairfield to each his own
