I signed up on last weekend and went to the Mississauga hub on Monday. Still waiting for background check before PTC. Any recent signups timelines? I’ve been told that it might take 10 business days. Plus 5 business days for PTC.

Much appreciate any recent timelines.

I took a year off from ubering. Then rejoined... I just got my PTC license renewal yesterday. That took 8 days. The background check 7 days.

Thank you for sharing!

It's different for each person.

Background should take u days..
Once cleared go to the hub..
So they can submit your file for city approval.

 

[Texie Driver]

That's cuz being an uber driver is the new american dream. Drive your car into oblivion and hopefully have enough for a house afterwards.

LYFT - under 72 hours

UBER - 2 weeks (waited a week without any word, then told to go to the hub and signed some papers and waited the second week)

Thank you! Silly question. When you signed up for Lyft did you use the same safety certificate as what you used for Uber?

Yes, same SSC for both.

Congrats and welcome to the wonderful world of ride-share

I think head office told everyone to slow processing down until referral bonus drops to $150 ...helps pump up books pre IPO

Thank you. One week with Lyft. Now I get to use both to reduce my wait times, hopefully

Yes, welcome to the unglamorous and unlucrative world of ridesharing. Your presence will contribute to the already overabundant supply of drivers in the GTA (which I peg to be at 40, 000 including both full time and part time) and probably lower the median income for all the drivers.

 

[METRO3]

whats involved in the background check at the hub?

 

[tropegdirb]

I signed up for Uber on a Wednesday evening. It was approved by noon that Friday. Drove Friday night.

Yeah, but thats a nature of the beast. This gig is not lucrative all the time. Key is not to rely on it all the time, but just the times it gives ya extras. There are days i play taxi no more than 2 hrs. The providers tell you when you are needed by offering "encouragements". I don't work unelss there is a steady surge, a challage/quest/streak etc. Gimme some kind of bonus otherwise I'm not driving. That's why I'm against any caps, you can govern yourself, if pay drops too low that's a sign to stay home.
