We believe Uber may not be the right lead generation tool for you.

I would have responded, "the majority of your leads suck, so yeah... maybe you're right."

Still have my Airline job, so ill be okay. I just liked the little extra cash.

I just dont get how i get deactivated when i retained a 98% acceptance rate for the past 2 weeks and I've gotten cancelations but they were "rider cancelations" not "cancelations" that i had made.

The only time a "driver cancel" shows up on your trip log is when the trip ID never ends up on another drivers trip log. When you ACRO, the trip ID eventually gets accepted by another driver, so that trip ID won't show on your log as a trip ID can't be associated with two drivers at the same time. There is however a record that you cancelled. You don't see that record anymore than you see the record of the trips you didn't accept.

Wow this is new to me. So pretty much when i ARCO there is still a record that i canceled the trip.......

Yep.

It's odd that they are calling this a lead generation tool- what does that have to do with driving for Uber?

From the very first section of the Uber/Driver contract:

This Software License and Online Services Agreement ("Agreement") constitutes a legal agreement between you, an individual ("you") and Rasier-CA, LLC if your Territory (as defined below) is within the State of California, Rasier-PA, LLC if your Territory is within the State of Pennsylvania, or Rasier, LLC if your Territory is anywhere else within the United States (as applicable, "Company"). Company, a subsidiary of Uber Technologies, Inc. ("Uber"), provides lead generation to independent providers of rideshare or peer-to-peer (collectively, "P2P") passenger transportation services using the Uber Services (as defined below).

Uber sells you (the driver) leads, software, collection services, and insurance. You pay Uber the SRF and 20% of the rest of the fare in exchange for those services. This is how the contract states the relationship.

However, how Uber actually treats you as a driver in practice is completely different than what is stated in the contract. Uber ignores contract law, even in their own contracts, as much as they ignore legislated law. The contract is written the way it is only for the purpose of protecting Uber in a court of law. It has absolutely NOTHING to do with how they actually treat drivers day to day.

Yes, you're naive.
