Uber X vs Plus 100+ hours a week

7120 Views 49 Replies 17 Participants Last post by  UberXking
Does anyone have information on expected net income after driving 100+ hrs on Uber X and Uber plus? I'm also unsure if there is enough 100 hours worth of work on the plus platform alone, so I'm wondering if anyone has ever attempted.

Just curious if anyone has any experience working 90/100 hours a week. I don't have a prescription for adderall, however, my friend does and I could steal a couple ;)

ALSO: I'm new to the forum, I've been creeping for a few days now, and I mean creeping.

In nyc there a fleets that rent vehicles weekly from 300-650 and I put in about 60-85hr a week 6am-8pm mon - sat gross 1800-2100 after expenses 1200-1600 if you mentally prepare yourself it will get done
In Brooklyn? Yeah, I can believe that. Try a market where you can go 3 hours without a ping, then get a call to go down the street and make $5 before commission and get a 4 because you're more than 5 min away. You won't even cover gas. Who can be mentally prepared for that bullshit? But last year it wasn't like that. Less drivers, better economy, Uber also had a better reputation.
Yeah some places have mkt,suvs, and audi's only nyc I can't speak on other states
No. I don't have the car for that change in class.
Thank you... Have you ever wondered what you could pull on Uberplus/uberselect?
Yesterday was 12 hours and 165 miles. It also included a 30,000 mile check up for $343.00 from the dealer.
How many miles did you drive the first two weeks and yesterday?
A lot of dead miles in SW suburbs and 5 short trips home from the store. The 1st rider must have gotten me out there from Brookfield/Lyons. Wound up around 230pm at rt 83 and 75th. One of these days I'm going to work Waukeegan so I can meet this woman I have been texting with since March. We met at an online dating site. I've met 35 women so far this year. To one to U2. Another to Van Halen. Had coffe at the Chicago Hilton. Ice cream at the Brown Cow. Lou Malniatti's Pizza. Drinks at private clubs like the Sky Room.

I'm having another great year...

Oh... me too! I don't know how some of these uber X drivers do it. From what I've seen is they finance a new car for 25K, drive 50k miles, make $20k, car has depreciated to 17k
^^^
Not only that but in most states the max number of hours per day you can drive is 12.
Other states have ten hour max per day, and/or X number of hours per week.
That's what it's gonna come down to here in Nevada if U/L wants to get back on the road here.

All it's gonna take is one horrendous accident for a driver who has been driving 17 hours, and/or has stimulants in his blood because the state they're in has no drug testing for rideshares and you're gonna see a lot of shit hit the fan.
I see no one of the players here could pass out a number So I will.

I drove 102 hours my first 2 weeks and made $1890.22 with Uber X working the hours I wanted.

I also made $160.76 in 12 hours yesterday. There's money out there if you can handle the bullshit.

I use the word "bullshit" lightly. I don't have the same negative opinions or attitudes as some of the players here.
Is that before or after Uber's cut?

Ok, How long ago, before or after Uber's %20, how many miles and the 102 was actual driving time or hours online?
Ok, If you want to pass out a number you need to pass out ALL the numbers or it's completely meaningless. How long ago, before or after Uber's %20, how many miles and the 102 was actual driving time or hours online?

NYC is probably the only market you can make some money. But driving 6
days a week 65 - 85 hrs dosen't leave much on the table for a life.
At the $1.25 a mile rates last summer, with some nice surges in Hollywood on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights, I used to pull in $1,800 to $2,100 per week, working 100+hours on Uber X. Although the money sounds good, a pace like that for 12 months a year is not sustainable, even if you have the stamina to do it like I did. But I only did it for 5 months, until the big uBer **** on New Years Eve. The problem is that you need to make enough money to for pay bills, expenses, taxes, food, sex, and whatever else, and still make enough money to pay cash for another nice car. Because after 12 months a 3,000 miles a week, your car is pretty much done, or at least close to it. Okay, so maybe 16 months. But the thing is, you are going to need a new car after 120,000 miles or so. That is arguable, of course. But the other problem is that 100+ hours a week 52 weeks a year only gets you enough money to pay for everything BUT a new car. So then what?

Last week I worked 40 hours, no way in hell would I consider more than 60. 100 is a whole other world.

Agreed, The vehicle expenses, depreciation and wear & tear and like you said a replacement vehicle after
12 - 18 months is the part that %80
of these Uberheads don't get. They either never took the time to do the Uber math or have the ability to do it .

After. That is taken directly from the Checks I receive

The hours used was in my weekly reports.

If I could post my spreadsheet, you will see the expenses, income, mileage, Deduction at .575 per mile, Total income from all sources, tax I paid, taxable income estimate after deduction. Social Security Payment. (using 2014 rules)

This was my total expense output or cost to operate for the 1st 226 days and I have 411 miles left in the tank. $1303.38 includes everything, 1Q insurance, interest...

BUT no tread wear or depreciation estimate. 30k mile check up was 343. I'm using 5.7 gallons of gas per day

All I do is plug in the income and expense and the formula takes over. The only mistake can be putting in the wrong number.

Your numbers look good! Finally a guy who takes the time and knows how to get to the true bottom line. You took into account your vehicle operating expenses and even the tax witholdings. I seriously doubt that there are many people banking %18 of thier weekly checks for the Social Security and Medicare payments that the IRS is going to want, when they file thier taxes. GOOD JOB your on the ball, glad to see it's working out for you.
No. I don't have the car for that change in class.

Nice! Looks like the Uber gig is paying off for you other than the $ end if the business.
I've been working for uber for 18months now and i rent from tower mall after uber-gas-etc i usually net300-350 a day working 13hrs sometimes 5-6 days a week so i gross bet 1800-2100 a week after expense i take home bet 1000-1300 so what this guy taking about if you put in the hours you make money if you it a hustle i don't own because i travel in the summer when it slow new yorker walk that why i hustle from sept-mid may i work hard. i save on wear/tear save on insurance and save on losing money during slow periods. it simple you must come up with a plan that works from 6am-11am are you in Finaicial district,penn station, near hotels going to the airport, .
Sure you do. post it or it's a dream

18% social security. How about 18% less any refund due.

The spreadsheet also works as my check book and debt payment schedule based on expected income that is a daily average since Jan. 1.
Card payoff date is Oct. 29th. Car payoff is 42 weeks.

It used to be the amount of cash I have on hand or can get to to bond my GF out of county.

I'm more in a hole than on a ball. Credit card debt, a loan, and car. Car payment isn't included.
Living stuff, the car and a new type of loan to increase my credit score above 750 by Jan.1

It's always a work in progress. Was getting spendable cash everyday. Now I have to wait 7 days for spendable cash.
Something comes up and I play with it.

I miss the pizza delivery cash. I do. I really do.
On any given day I had 350 in cash with me.
Now I'm lucky to reach 150. Winter is be good for food delivery may even have bankable cash.
Last cash deposit was $140.00.

I started when I have 5 credit card payment every month 2 years ago and it's still evolving...

Solid idea to track your situation. There's a happy place for everyone.

You must be in Florida?
that's awful. God help this poor soul.
