The app works by distance. You were the closest at the time, so you got the ping. App doesn't care what road you are on.Flying?
Is that a trick question? I'm on the interstate because that's the road that goes where I'm going.
The app is on because I want riders. Is that difficult to understand?
A better question is- why does the app send pings for places that would take half an hour to get to? It knows what road I'm on, it knows I can only get off that road at an exit, and shouldn't be sending riders that are behind me.
Do you take pings that require you to drive 20 miles and would take you 20-30 minutes to arrive, when you're pretty sure there are other drivers within a few minutes of that rider?You want pings, but you cancel on pax when you got one because its too far?? Do you want pings or not?
Then the app needs to adjust for that delay.There is a delay. I'd say half my chimes while I'm driving are from behind me. If you watch yourself on the rider app, you'll notice that your car is about 30 seconds or so behind you. My theory is that is where Uber actually thinks you are when a request comes in. So if a request comes in while I'm flying past exit 10 at 70 MPH, Uber thinks my car is 30 seconds away from taking that exit.
That's my theory anyway.
ACRO is probably what did it. When I cancel, I always do "do not charge rider", see, Uber likes it when you are trying to do best for the rider.Started around May 2015 driving uberxl with a mint condition Honda. Have given around 700+ rides and maintained a 4.93 rating. I just got this text message and my account has been deactivated.
"Your account has been flagged a final time for having significantly more cancelations than other partners. We believe Uber may not be the right lead generation tool for you. We wish you the best, but we have decided to discontinue our partnership"
Doesnt make much sense to me considering i look at my trip history and it shows that ive had a bunch of "rider cancelations" trips and not "canceled" trips. Not gonna lie tho, I've been doing ARCO, especially on pool rides and non surge uberx rides, only because they arent profitable to me. Especially since they've been taking 25% from me.
Honestly, Uber is a great part time gig. I only drive on weekends and always cleared at least $300 on a Saturday. Any advice on what i should do?
No, BUT! I dont keep the app On while on a highway.Do you take pings that require you to drive 20 miles and would take you 20-30 minutes to arrive, when you're pretty sure there are other drivers within a few minutes of that rider?
It shouldn't be based purely by straight-line distance but estimated driving time. Duh
The "Safe Rider Fee" is the extra 5%. It's an Uber fee, so it should sit under the 20% umbrella. They just think we won't notice they increased their cut by hiding it as a line item.Op, why were you at 25 percent comission? Did you get deactivated at 20 and reactivated at 25?
you just have to keep at 80 percentno way anymore
Uber shut all that down
accept, or eventually get deactivated
Canceling for "rider no-show" isnt ACRO. I tap "cancel" and then tap "rider no-show", not "other"Didn't even have to finish reading page one to get that answer.
YES - ACRO WILL GET YOU DEACTIVATED. It's actually worse for the customer because then they have to re-request. Of course, I get that the drivers here are out for themselves and not out to provide a service and don't give a crap about who is actually paying. Sure, Uber has screwed the pooch with rates. Stop driving. Flip burgers. Deliver Pizza.
What does ARCO stand for?My acceptance rate is shitty.
The best it has ever been is maybe 70%.
It averages way lower.
I never ARCO.
I never ask destination.
I never cherry pick.
I never got any warning from uber over 1 year and close to 3000 trips.

Did you find it?
Uber f*ckeryOur market for the first time just started giving us monthly reviews. They are telling me my acceptance rate is 86%! Out of 300 lifetime trips, that would mean that I've passed up on 42 rides! That's absolutely untrue. I'm only aware of three out of those 300 that I intentionally "ping through" or ignored. I've never ACRO'd. I've had a few 404's, but not that many. Don't know what is going on here.
