I applied to drive in my city almost 2 months ago. After numerous emails I was told Checkr still had my background report, I check the Checkr site and it says in HUGE letters report is complete. So I email uber support a screenshot of the Checkr screen. So after about 6 generic responses I finally get someone that says I should be active in 24-48 hours, that was a week ago and still nothing. How do I get a valid response or at least get my account active?

Welcome to the tech company known as Uber, where outside resources are usually needed to get answers.

Afraid the only help I can provide here, is assuring you that in your $1.05/mi market, you're ahead of the game unactivated.

Sorry

i'm getting the same run around , ive been waiting for alittle over a week and a half for them to "background check" me. however looking at the checkr report they finished within one day of receiving the request and now im sending countless emails and they keep saying the back ground check takes 10 days to complete.

i was thinking about going to my local office, maybe that could help.

i figure the email support guys are very limited on what they can do, and the people at the office will know a lot more

In the meantime you can deliver pizzas sound stupid but Papa Johns dominos in large cities can be really good. If you don't want to be an employee at 10 bucks an hour in store 5:45 an hour on the road base pay try a smaller or non franchised place easy to find someone to pay you 20 bucks in gas three to five bucks per delivery and those pennies from heaven called tips.

You realize inbred Kalanick will now latch onto the idea of a cheaper postal service.

lmao, the powers that be have been trying to privatize postal service for years… it sounds like you are pro-privatizing of the postal service

Hmmmm.... I only get three or four water bills a year and have to keep track on the water company website so it doesn't get turned off if I forget so I set the Reminders on my phone and comp at home to notify me every month.

On the place where we are supposed to put avatars, it says that you are in the Silicon Valley. Does it take that long to get from Santa Clara/Sunnyvale/Mountain View to San Francisco these days? I would assume that Uber does have an office in San Francisco, at least, if not San Jose, as well.

I think the closest Uber office is in Columbus Oh which is about 2 hours from Toledo. My only fear is I would get down there and get the same nonanswers that I have been getting online lol
