I got locked out once this morning. First job was back away where I was from and the 2nd job rider rating too low. Did you know in Chicago, they have removed drivers from even seeing the riders rating. I can see them doing that to us.

Also maybe its me but recently when you go online the surge disappears but when you go offline it comes back. Another way for them to piss us off?

Wonder if anyone accepted that 33 min ping to Prahan? How would you feel if the ride was to Windsor train station? On the $600 referral that is another piece of evidence they have a massive shortage of drivers. Hold the line fellas, no referrals and when they run out of drivers see what their Plan B is!

Rider ratings are useless to a point, once they go below 4, and won't get picked up. They just sob to Uber and its reset again or create a new account.

Surge is just fud these days. I've 'parted' the surge window just by going online! Just call me Uber Jesus of Surge..... That area was in SURGE only 2 mins before I went online.

I wonder how Uber will play the bad weather card this week.... Surge or no Surge?

God I hate that..... The same request over and over, Its like WHY FUBER WHY!?

I'm shocked.... How can this even BE!? What was the pax app saying was the closest car?

Completely delusional...... They had a great business model and slowly they are killing it, piece by piece. screwed the drivers over, now screwing the paxs over with loooooong pings.

I'm also getting spammed for the $600 referral, they clearly want more drivers on the road!

Hey , am getting request for $ 400 referral not $ 600.

Why the referral differs from drivers - lol .
Anywho, I have not referred one as yet, so doesn't really bother me, but just wanted to understand UBER Reasoning lol

Well mine is $400 std referral + $200 bonus for never referring anyone before.

Check you're portal, maybe someone started with your code and never finished?

 

[joffie]

I have no enemies to refer

I'm going to start telling pax's I make $50/hr and here is my invite code!!! Hahahaha I'll be rich!

 

[joffie]

I picked up a girl on Friday and she said the last driver told her he earns $2000 per week.

 

[LevelX]

Yeah heard a few similar stories from paxs.

If working 16hrs a day maybe

LevelX I also have "parted" the Surge on numerous times and just the other night I thought that I would rename myself Moses! It also has me thinking to ask the "Surge Hounds" how you're all coping with the disappearance of the surge. Limited times to make money especially if you also have the biblical powers of LevelX and myself.

 

[Graham J]

$2K a week is fanciful! Maybe, just maybe if you do 60 hours, and count fare+surge+tolls only and disregard all that trivial stuff like Uber fees, GST, fuel, running expenses, wear and tear etc.

Yes I do wonder how those 'No surge, no Ride' guys are going these days. As unless its a Saturday night, the surge seems to part ways for me within minutes, just like you with our biblical powers.

 

[joffie]

The No Surge No Ride guys already have full time work so the money they earn doing Uber doesn't really matter.
I am lucky cause I work full time so just do fuber for a bit of extra (in)sanity and to talk to girls.

Uber office in Melb told me today as we are not legal in Vic they want all the drivers just covering the CBD and not the outer suburbs, work that out

Makes me wonder what they are smoking up there?

that can happen . ask her next time how many hrs the driver been working . I bet some of them works 20 hrs a day

 

[Tom2828]

If you drive 50-60 hours a week you can easily make it ( Uber payout before GST and expenses)
