Now is it the market or the driver ? If it doesn’t make money it doesn’t make sense !! if your loosing money why continue? Warehouses in my area are paying 20+s an hour and they can’t find enough people to actually work
OK, how do we feel about upfront pricing so far?
Let me start with this: I hate Uber/Lyft with every inch of my body. Have been driving part time since 2015. So, this gig has never been my main source of income.
Prior to this upfront pricing, my weekly goal has always been $300-$400 while driving 3-4 hrs. per day 5 days per week.
For the last 2 weeks I’ve been making almost twice as much as my weekly goal while driving 3 hrs max per day. On top of that, I’ve noticed I drive now less miles than before - thanks to radar Uber decided to share, finally.
Now, knowing Uber’s history, I can safely assume that there is probably some kind of bate and switch scheme going on right now. So, I have no high hopes for this new gimmick so far.
Just wanted to see what you guys are experiencing and what are your thoughts on this subject.

F Uber n Lyft grass is always greener on the other side
No am on a new VIP programWow…have you been inactive for a while? Just curious how you got such a generous offer.
You need to qualify for it … ones you have shuffled 1k passengers you will get a email to join after you will need to complete 50 longhaul and keep about 25 meal on Uber eatsWhat the heck is a “VIP” program?
I forgot also you will need to kick 10 passengers out your car mid trip with out ending the ride and drive all the way to the original destinationYou need to qualify for it … ones you have shuffled 1k passengers you will get a email to join after you will need to complete 50 longhaul and keep about 25 meal on Uber eats
I’ve been saying it for years .. gig work shouldn’t be your main income it should supplement it. Gig work takes no skills and makes you lazy and stupid it doesn’t exercise you body or mindWhat stream of income ? Working $20 hour with car and covering all the expenses does not qualify for a steam on income . In the end of the day , you may be paying to work .i guess we all have different standards . If YOURSELF cannot get a job that pays POSITIVE income , you may ask yourself why and how to improve yourself to start do in it .Let’s face it , there was a time that was posible to make a living with UBER , now it is a race to the bottom with just the desperate drivers that don’t have other choices .
